ing for $4,000 volunteers to put down
the Southern Rebellion"
Now observe again; all these acts Of
treason and war occurred before April
18th, when Abraham Lincoln took the
first step toward the defence of the, Gov
ernment he had sworn to protect. He was
certainly slow enough ia beginning. He
did not issue call for soldiers until the
rebels were marching on Washington it
self; and yet, nea calling themselves
Democrats 60 about the country yelling
themselves hearsc with the lie that this
is Lincoln's war. The miserable traitors
know better. The rebels in the South
don't pretend that this is Lincoln's war,
1t is their war. They glory in it, and
they despise their tory tools in the North,
who go round deceiving the ignorant
masses with the monstrous lie that this is
Lincoln's war.-Relgious Telescope.

Dear to me is every pathway where youl
precious feet have trod,
But give you fondly, freely, to my country
and my God.
You and shall never falter in the work we
have to do:
Go, my boy, where duty calls you, and my
heart shall follow you;
I shall pray for you how often-with the
waking hours of morn,
Through the labors of my household, ant
when night is coming on.
If mothers prayers can keep you mid the
dangers you incur,
God will surely bring you back again tc
happiness and her.
/ will never doubt the goodness that has
KEEP: you until now,
That has kept the evil from your heart, the
shadow from your brow;
And l know that it shall keep you IN the
path you must pursue;
Go, my boy. where duty calls you, and my
heart shall follow you.
If my boy were less hero, less the man in
thought anu utcU.
| had less to give my country in her trying
hour of need;
And feel pride in knowing that to serve
this cause divine,
From the hearth-stone goes 10 braver heart
than that which goes from mine.
have loved you from the hour that my lips
first pressed your brow,
Ever tenderly, but not quite as tenderly as
now,
All have is His who gave it, whatso'er he
bids me do;
Go, my boy, where duty calls you, and my
heart shall follow you.
shall miss you in the spring time, when
the orchard is in bloom,
While the smiling face of nature bathes its
beauty in perfume;
When the birds are sweetly singing by the
door and on the wing,
| shall think of you, who always loved to
pause and hear them sing.
Long will seem the waning hours through
the drowsy summer day,
With my hoy exposed to dangers on sol
so far away.
But my spirit shall not murmur, though a
tear bedim my view;
Go, my boy, where duty calls you, and my
heart shall follow you.
You will come and see your mother; come
and kiss her as you say;
From her lips receive the blessing that will
cheer you on your way;
From her fond embrace go forward to resist
your country's foe,
With the comforting assurance that your
mother babe you go.
Heaven protect, and bless, and keep you
holy angels guard your way,
To your mother ever faithful, to your coun.
try ever true,
Go, my boy, where duty calls you, and my
heart shall follow you.

ANSWER.

Go my boy, where duty calls you,
Go my boy, and heaven bless you | have
read each precious line
OF your hearts responsive throbbings to a
higher call than mine.
God hath spoken-you have heard Him
and though tears these eyes bedlm,
Your affection for your mother shall not mai
your love for Him.
Could bid you stay from fondness, wheI
the eyer-ruling hand
Marks your path to duty clearly for the safe
ty Of the land?
No; tits yours to be patriot, and tits mine
to prove as true;
Go, my boy, where duty calls you, and my
heart shall follow you;
60 in faith, and feel protection In power
supreme, divine;
Should bullet pierce your body, 1T Will al
so enter mine.
Do think of this in sorrow? Does my love
sad fears renew?
Do tremble at the prospect! No, my son
no more than you.

Fearful Encounter with a Mad Bull.

Mr.. John Warner, man four
years of age; living in the town of Serena,
Ohio, last week, had narrow escape
from being gorcd to death by young
bull. Going into his cowyard, the bull
made a rush at him and threw him down
with his horns two or three times, when
Mr. w. managed to grasp him by one Of
the fore legs, and by desperate exertion
threw him down. He then caught him
by the nose and by main strength held
him fat on the face. He then drew a
jack knife from his pocket but dared no,
release his hold upon the bull while he
apeued it. 4 young lady living in The
family having heard him call, came JUS
then and opened the knife, and with this
although j; was quite dull, Mr.. w. GU
the animals throat. Ii was a narrow
escape, and but few men would have had
the nerve and good management to ge
out of bad scrape so easily.
