She will stand in history as the State which alone, of all other Northern States, broke down from her original Reorganization, and became ready to side with treason.
 We say this is unavoidable, if she elects Seymour. Special pleas that she did not ex- actly mean that, will amount to nothing. History takes no cognizance of trumped up explanations. It judges by the record, and by the record only That record in this case is found solely in the resolutions of the nomi natisg conventions, and in the speeches which the candidates subsequently, made to the peo- pie. There never was record more distinct and inteligibIe. On one side it signifies peace with the Confederacy. aad nothing else. On the other, war with the rebellion and nothing else. In no other Norhern State has it ever taken such shape In Connecticut that shape has been deliberately gwen it and it is i'm possible for its people to avoid committing themselves positively on the one side or tho other, so that it shall go into history plain and irreversible. aE

Preaching q Practical Sermon.

"A number Of years ago, iParson B.
preached in a town in the interior of this
State. A sound theologian was Parson
b., as u published volume of his sermons
evinces , butflike many clergymen of the
past generation, he was too much given to
preaching "doctrinal sermons, to the ex-
clusion of practical themes; at least, SO
thought tonefof his parishioners, Mr.. ca
"Mr. B" said he one day to the clergy
man, "we know all about the doctrine by
this time.r9Why don't you preach real

formed, and the parson announced his

,of the aisle, callingoeach member 'ofathe
congregation by name, and pointing out
his special faults. One wi as little in-

another was terrible man at a bargain,

whole congregation. He does it Just to
make people believe that he can Y get time
to come to church in season; but it isn't

Thus went on the worthy clergy ymaii, -

At the conclusion of the services, the
parson walked up, to- Mr. !3C., and asked
him how he liked the practical sermon. I"

We know of NO more painful sight,
than that of man, who having committed
some crime against the laws, PAGES up and
down his narrow cell, despair keeping him

him, let his crime have been, what it may,
Hour after hour those same blank walls,
chat circumscribed space, that torturing
ventilation !; and the one bit ,of, blue sky
perhaps 10 the little; oritice above his head
mocking him with Its calm brightness ;
reminding him of eyes that bent over bis
lcradle--and yet alas, had no power to
Keep his soul unstained reminding him
Nof green fields and fresh flowers, and all
the pure surroundings Of his 9cbildhpod's
home, stiilllf till drspss of agony gathsr upon bis
