The Hard Knot.

Little Freddy Esmond is one of the pleas
ATTEST children in the world unless something
happens to make him cross. He has hazel
eyes, and beautiful brown hair to match and
a sweet, smiling face that every one loves to
look at. But am sorry to say that his love-
y, bright face often looks like the sky on a
rainy day.
1t was only few days ago that he spoiled
his fine face, and as Iooked at him it seemed
to me it couldn't be Freddy Esmond. He was
hurrying TO get leldy for breakfast, and |
heard him say, This hateful old knot plague
take this old shoe
[ was sitting in the next room, waiting for
the breaktastbel to ring, and when | heard
Freddy calling down plague on his old
shoe, thought I'D 60 and help him, but his
mother land her hand on my arm as | rose
from my chair, and said in low tone
You mustn't 60 I'd be glad to 90 myself
and help him, but want to teach him pa.
tence. Almost every morning lately he has
got his shJe.string iu hard knit, just by be-
ing in hurry, and then he has no patience tc
get it out
oh do let me go and get it out for him,
said /. ....
No, no. said his mother. Il want him tt
do it himself
Just then the boy called to his mother 10

ism, say he does not care for the Constitution, and
does not want to have it forced into his way or
thrust in his facs until the war is over. The reb
els cannot thrust it in bis face, for they have no
rights under it save the right to be tried and hung
for treason. CONTINUED applause.) In certain
districts the military law is supreme. Gen. Grant
is in command of an army in the State OF Mis-
sisslpp, which is in revolt. Will any one deny
his right to make arrests, his right to suppress
newspapers, and to level trees, like those around
you to night in order to get range for his guns ?
No. And yet these are all arbitrary pow ers.
But these exercises of it are not the troublesome
cases. The great difficulty is in these districts,
where rigbtful civil Government is in operation,
where the judicial tribunals are open and the law
respected-the laws which afford a remedy for
every wrong. AS rule, we must remember that
the civil law is superior to the military law, and
the cases are rare very rare, when the rue can be
reversed. 1t here resolves itself into the plain
naked question of whether the President and bis
generals, by the simple clicking of teegrsp h
instrument, can cause the impri onment of A, b,
or c. If one general can do it, another can do
1t, and where is the end who will fix the limit
