Mr.. n. G. Wie,ing.

Transcript more or less, for some time
past, thought l would fill short va
cancy if you thought it worth notice.
Patriotism and loyalty are never honor
able and lovely.
How pathetic the stain Of Judah's
cxiles, their native land taken, and
themselves led away into captivity. by
the rivers ofBabylon there We sat down;
yea, we wept when remembered Zion.
If forget thee, o Jerusalem. let my
right hand forget her cunning Snch
passages as the 18th Psalm have a
tender interest III many hearts now.
History is becoming very interesting
study. We have talked a good deal Of
the times that tried mems souls, and we
are beginning to realize somewhat Of
the same. The test is becoming ap.
piled and mems real sentiments dis
covered. Hymns and airs always loved
by true hearts are now obtaining a pre-
ciousness and sacredness never felt be
tore. How every nerve vibrates at the
refrain Of the Star Spangled Banner
Every word Of old America has mex
prcssibic significance.
Ny country It's of thee, sweet lanl Of
liberty
OF thee sing
Land where my fathers died, etc.
Should The fell work Of treason and
rebellion succeed TO the overthrow and
wasting Of our fair heritage, we have
thought of the anguish which the very
sight or sound or thought Of these ma
,ional melodies would cause in every
loyal breast More bitter tears would
flow than those which fell among the
willows Of Babylon. Yet it is painful
10 witness the opposite Of all this with
too many-an apathy and friyolity most
inexcuseable at such times as the pre-
sent. And this while and when our
towns and cities are belcaguered by a
deadly host, and our armies are st,ugg-
iirg on the defensive along the entire
breadth Of the land With all due al
lowancc for past prejudices and present
infirmities, we must say that manifesto
lions such as are yet too often seen Of
! want Of loyalty, and OF sympathy with
the traitors Of our country, are exceed
ingly mean and wicked But there is a
noble sentiment Of loyalty yelling up
from the hearts Of the great mass Of the
people. Daily it is increasing in volume
and force, and will, we trust, become
under God, overwhelming and irrcsis
tible.
More and more the people are feeling
that old issues are gone, and but one
great vital issue is before us all. Here
at Irving, Union, patriotism, loyalty,
religion, are combining in way that
angurs the best results.
