was going to preach a sermon ON the
Sabbath, and, as he went along to the
NEE ing house a man stopped him by the
wayside aud old him that somebody had
stolen his AK. He look at him.
"Well," says he, 6" am going to
preach sermon up here to-day, and |
will settle all this" Going TO the
meeting house he found round s,onc
weighing abou. pound and half,
picked it up, carried it to the meeting
house WI h him and laid it down in the
pull pi, which, of course, at ractcd the
atten ion of every body. After he had
preached the sermon, he picked up the
stone, looked at it and tured it over and
over, and said he 81 have been in
formed by my neighbour calling him by

To sum it all up, aud 90 into de all,
suppose 1t were true tina, President Lin
coin and his Cabinet officers had viola ed
the consitu ion which is the most toll
cradle, and which ought the people to
oppose-a violation Of the Constitution
which is for the preservation Of the
Union, or one which is intended to break
up and destroy it 3! Cheers. Do you

1t seems to me, sometimes, that were it

that they had placed at its head the
Stars and Bars, and said he with tears
in his eyes and Il reverend oath -
When | saw hem putting that flagstaff
down, by God expected to see the old
