Gods Purpose in the War.

We have had the pleasure Of reading a Thanks
giving Sermon, preached at Vergennes, VI, No.
yember 26th, 1868, by Rev, George b. Spaldng'
from Isaiah 26;l2, d" Lord, thou wilt ordan peace
lor US for thou also hast wrought all our works
in u.s."
The sermon sets forth very clearly and forcibly
Gods purpose in the present war to be the de-
slrueion of slavery. We cannot refrain from
copying the closing portion Of this discourse, in
which the preacher sums up his argument. After
alludirg to the immunities which slavery enjoyed
prior to the rebellion, Mr.. Spalding says;
Was there ever such judicial blindness While
the Constitution WAS preserved, slavery might ind
beneath il protection. Under the IL tyioability
of State righls which the Constitution secured, il
long The slave holders became bewildered by
their own sin, aud regardless of every dictate Of
prudence. Their vaultng ambition overreach-
ed ITSELF They cast away the only shield which
stood between their institution bnd its death.
They struck from us the bends which made US
harmless as children. Lot us thank God that
theirs, not ours, was the sin OF perjury. Thlt II
1t must be, to them and not to US, belongs this
awful crime OF rebellion. That it it must be,
they, and not w, br Ike away from that sacred
compact framed and ratified by Washington,
and Madison, and Adams, and jay, and their CO.
temporsries. Let us thank God, ii it mast be,
that they, and not we, are the authors Of this ter
rible strife that TO them, and not to us, belongs
the responsibility Of lnaugurotng and continuing
a war whose spectacle Of woe aud suffering, the
angels in heaven must weep over. Let US thank
God that the walng cry OF widows aud orphans
which so ceaselessly slnites the skies, Is, as il
were, an execraton against their, not our wicked
ness. Was there not divine purpose running
through oil those events, the ioles, the crimes
and brnders, which made the decade Of year,
preceding this revolt the taost dsgrAoenl in ouI
history Was there not divine purpose 10

My ear is full Of summer sounds,
OF SUNNI y sights by langu id eye
Beyond the dusty village bounds
loiter 10 my daily rounds,
And in the noontide shadows lie.

The bird swings on The ripened wheat,
The long green lanoes oi the corn
Are fitting n the winds VI morn,
Ths locust shrlls his song Of heat.
Another sound my spirit ears
a deeper sound that browns them all
A voice Of pleading choe ed with tears,
The call Of human hopes and fears,
The Macedonian cry to Paul
The storm bell rings, the trumpet blows
know the word and countepign
Wherever Freedom's vanguard goes,
Where stand or fall her friends or foes,
know the place that should he mine.
shamed be the hands that idly fold,
And lips that WOO the reed $ accord,
When laggard Time the hour has tolltd
For true with false and new with old
10 fight the battles Of the Lord
Oh, brothers bes. by partial fate
With power 10 match the will and deed.
To him your summons comes too late
Who sinks beneath his armor's weight,
And has no answer bat God speed

Destruction of Trees by Ice.

| Tle slight snow storm which occurred in the
region OF Boston, on Thursday, The 18th inst,
ended in drizzling rain twenty miles west Of
the city IL Commenced raining on Thursday
evening, continuing through the night and most
Of the following day, Friday, and frozs as fast
as it fell, to everything 1t touched. When this
sun was unelouded for short time on Satur-
day, the specte Gle presented was truly magni6-
cent The late sylvan was suddenly transformed
into siiuer world. Everything was covered
with glltterlng ice-felds, enees, shrubs and
trees, and when the wind slightly moved the
latter, the noise made one think OF the clatter
Of ten Thousand cavalry scaobards, or the rush
Of mighty waters. But the sight, gorgeous
and pleasing as 1t was, was attended with The
greatest destruction OF trees by 100 that has ever
been known in the memory ot veteran agri-
culturlst Before noon, on Saturday, limbo,
varying irom one inch to ton inches IN diameter,
began to fall from the grand old elms In every
direction. Sometimes the entire side OF splen-
did tree would 70 down, leaving the other
whole In other, limbs would tall from different
parts Of the tree, while in many cases nearly
every branch would be broken from the top,
leaving nothing but siiveTed stubs pointing 10
the skies. lu the afternoon some OF the side
walks and highways became 80 obstructed that
men we're sent out with axes to clear away the
ruins--soIne OF the branches being too heavy
for two men to move out Of the roads. Some
dwelling-bouses wers injured by the falling
masses lin one case twenty or thirty feet of the
covering was rent away, stating torn oH, and
the house otherwise injured.
In sOme places the roadsdes present most
interesting appearance. The waite bifches, oil
sparkling with their diamonds, are bent over on
each side toward the road, their tops reaching
INTO the carriage-way, while their pendulons
branches hang ON every sIde ormlng the most
grotesque arbors aud arches Imaginable. By
the moonlight they remind one Of the fairy
tales OF the East--of vast halls peopled with
supernatural beings and glittering with ethereal
lights. But the sudden crash and the moan
ings in the Forest proclaim the fact that our
old and splendid shade trees are rapidly coming
10 the ground. Ens suffer most, having long
and sweeping branches. Willows and lJcusS
are also badly broken. Fruit trees are not yet
much injured but all ara still covered with
thick ice. On some Of the NAPLES, every little
twig holds a ball Of ice as large as good sized
walnut, and fro the under side Of the ball
clcles Of various lengths are suspended. A
brisk wind, while the trees are IN their present
condition, would work wide spread ruin among

You will crush the revolt, gentlemen. You
will sueceed-such is our beliei-iu re.establish-
ing the Union. 1t will emerge rom the bloody
trial stronger, more free, more worthy Of the
noble destiny to which God summons il.
II has been demonstrated to US, it is true, that
the re-eslablishmenl ithe Union was lmpussi-
bic; but 1t was notialso demonstrated TO US, and
by lrrelutable argument, that you would be al
ways aud OF necessity defeated, thatyou would
never know how to handle musket that re.
ctulting would become lmpraotlble that your
finances would be exhausted , that your loans
would not be taken that you would become
bankrupt that riots would ravage your cities ,
that your government would be oyertbrown.
You have gwen to all these oracles the simplest
and best answer. You will reply in the same
manner to those who assert that the re-establish.
ment OF tho Union is impossible.
What seems reSlly impossible is not to restore
the Union. Where draw the line between North
and South How maiotain between them . state
