WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST II
The Truce Of God

assent to Christianity, war was their hor'na'
condition Their bloody and implacable con
tests ceased not even after they had bent their
fierce necks to the yoke Of the Prince OF Peace,
and # needed centuries Of its civizing inhu-
ences before it's teachers were able to command
the respect and homage OF the Warhke factions.
Then grew out of this turbulent society, an
institution, like a legend OF romance, the
Truce Of God. y Founded by the vows OF
lew knights, it grew by constant accessaons:
first Baron and his retainers adopted 1t; then
community yielded it homage a village fol-
lowed then city came IN; then palatlnes
aud counties, shires and hundreds; unt'l ITS
blessed influence fell, like the shadow Of the
Pillar of Cloud, across great realms-battled-
until they had become deserts; but destined,
under the kindly shadow, to blossom as the
rose -Four days might the battle rage but
from Friday until Monday, self invoked NAL
ison,rested upon the catltf who broke the
Truce Of God !" Sweetly sang the bugles
that babe the battle cease, and then, II we may
credit the chronicles OF the time, dlscofd passed
away; combatants met as friends; the deserted
hearth renewed it's wonted fires; the social
board was spread again for foeineo who forgot
their teuds Trade opened It's narts, and
industry piled her thousand hands. Peace
displayed her triumphs, beside the spolls OF
War. Need we wonder when it is told us that
many battles stopped half way Ly Truce OF
God were never finished. But that waving
haryests covered wasted battle fields, even as
Christian forgiveness supplanted ungodly hate;
that the ashes of burnt cities seemed but as
seed from which new cities grew, What many
given up fer lost, came home again, and that
children 5 children blessed the day the Truce
was made.
The National Inteligencer in an editorial
article on the approaching Chicago Conven
s5on says 1.-THE Republican rarity, in the
Darson Of its candidate for the Presidency, IS

Mr.. Lincoln war policy, in our eyes, that
while in theory it looks to lnterminable strife,
AID while in point Of fact it creates the condl-
tloas OF unapeasable feud between the ad-
herring aud the seeding States of the Union,
II must lead in the allure Of things, to a dis
