deal like the Teller who thought be could
make a horseshoe Jest as well as black

was that Majer?', sFWal,' SEES I, "one
day q Teller in a blacksmith's shop made
bet that he could make horseshoe Jest as
well as the blacksmith himself, though he
had never heated an iron nor struck blow
on an anvil. The Teller said il didn't re.
quire any great gpmption to make horse
shoe. So he took piece Of iron an at it he
went. Heput it in the fire, heated it an
commenced poundin it, but the more he
pounded, the more it didn't look like d
horse shoe, He finally gave up the job,
and said if he couldn't make horse shoe
he could make a wagon bolt. So at it he
went, but the more he pounded an the
more he heated his iron, the less it grew,
an finally he found that he couldn't make
even wagon bolt, Then he declared
that he had iron enough left FIR horse
shoe nail, an that he aeould make, but
upon trying, he found that the most diff
cult job of all. Finally, giving up in de-

is, make a despotism, but the war will
turn out jist like the horse shoe business.
Linkin will, after all, neither make a
Union, or despotism, or an Empire by
it, but it will end with great big ssiss.'
That's all he will accomplish by it an

Wen I said this, the. Deacon drew
long breth and lookin down on the floor
didn't say anything for some minutes
Finally, ses he, eWal, Majer, will we
have to give up the Union after all ?'-
SEES | q don't see any necessity for that,
providin that we kin only stop the war
an talk over matters little. But, ses
|, f'ef the Union is goin to be a Union
wherein q white man hasn't the right to
express his opinions, then / must say I
ldon't love such Union, as that, an I'm
as strong o Union man as old Gipneral
jackson, san that was strong enough,

is to mean dsspotisnl, then I'm for break
