The Farewell and Return.

In February, 1861, ABRAHAM LINCOLN babe
farewell to his friends and neighbors at
Springfield, in the following words:
Friends No one who has never been
placed in like position, can understand my
feelings at this hour, nor the oppressive sad
ness feel at this parting. For more than a
quarter of century have lived among you,
and during all that time have received no.
thing but kindness at your hands. Here
have lived from my youth, until now | am an
old man. Here all my children we're born
here one of them lies buried. To you, dear
friends, owe all that have, all that | am
All the strange, chequered past seems now
to crowd upon my mind.
"To-day leave you go to assume task
more difficult than that which devolved upon
General Washington. Unless the great God
who assisted him shall be with and aid me,
must fail. But if the same 0mniscient mind
and the same Almighty arm that directed anC
protected him, shall guide and support me,
shall not fail. / shall succeed. Let US al
pray that the God of our fathers may not for
sake US now. To Him | commend you all
Permit me to ask that, with equal sincerity
and faith, you all will invoke His wisdom ant
guidance for me.
: w I'LL lnesc lew WOiuS Il luuos lCdfC yOu
FOR HOW LONG KNOW NOT. Friends, one ant
all, must now bid you an affectionate fare
we'll"
These touching words gather new and sol
emn pathos from the recent tragical events.
On Wednesday, all that was mortal of ABRA
HAM LINCOLN reached his old home. He was no
permitted to return alive. Duringthe period
intervening between the farewell and return
the most stupendous events of our nationa
history have TRANSFERRED The "task more
difficult than that which deyolved upor
Gen. WAsHNGToN" has been performed
how faithfully, how consummately, witt
what noble and disinterested patriot
ism, history viii delight to tell
And the same Almighty hand tia
directed and supported Washington, sustained
and aided Lincoln till his work vas done
and the village lawyer of four years ago, the
plain, honest man of the people, is to-day
canonized in the nations heart and memory
as equal, in character and in services of the
great first President The one founded anC
the other preserved the Republic.

A SINGULAR CIRCUMsTANoE.-Thee xamina-
ton of BOoTH's body satisfied the surgeons
that he fractured one of the small bones of
his leg in leaping from the theatre box upon
the stage. 1t has already been mentioned
that, as he sprang his foot caught in national
flag festooning the box. He fell on the stage
with such force as to lose one of his spurs.
The excitement of the moment was such
doubtless, that he did not know how much he
was injured. The Washington Star says:
"The outraged flag of our country, tram
pied upon by Booth in his exit from the box,
would seem to have been endowed with pow
ers of volition, seizing him by the spur and
causing him to fall, crippled on the stage,
whereby his flight was interrupted, and his
few days of Cain-like existence made days of
agony intense. 1t is believed had he not
been Immediately captured, death would have
ensued from the modification of his broken
leg, uncared for, as it necessarily was, and in
constant use. Traces at points of his route
indicate that he attempted to obliterate the
tell-tale marks of his crutch in the earth,
whereby his route might be traced, and that
he hoped on one leg at other points, not
using the crutch, to the same end"

"TreasOn is the Greatest of Crimes, and not a
mere Difference Of Opinion"

The above sentence is from one of Presi-
dent JoHNsoN's recent speeches. 1t is preg-
nant with meaning. Every citizen of the
Republic ought to stamp it inefiacably on
his memory. 1t is the lesson of four years OF
fire and blood. Let it be inscribed on the
flag. Emblazon it on the Capitol Write it
in bold letters in every Legislative hail.
Place it in every school room. "Treason is
the greatest of crimes and not mere differ
enee of opinion" Treason against such a
Government as ours includes all crimes All
the blood and tears of the tremendous strug-
gle just terminating were caused by, treason.
Treason is theft, ismurder, is assassination.
Every pang of the terrible war through
which we have passed was born of treason.
Remember it, o loyal men and women of
the Republic!
1t was treason that murdered your sons
and brothers and husbands, it was treason that
manned them, it was treason that stretched
them on beds of sickness in distant hospitals,
it was treason that compelled them to weary
ihdAShCot 10 was oiSooOh bhtb oNnA bhShi III
loathsome dungeons, and heaped upon them
insult, contumely and outrage Remember
what treason has done, and execrate it. 1t is
holy and just to hate it and loath it, and to
teach your children and children's children to
abominate both it and all who have been con-
illuminated with it, forever more.
And when any hoary and blood stained trail
tor like ROBERT E. LEE, his hands stained
with the gore of the patriot dead who have
given their lives that Liberty and Union might
be perpetuated, comes forward and says in
his heightened cold Dominion" style: cit
was not treason--this attempt to destroy the
Union-it was only little difference of opin-
ion about State Rights" thunder in his ears
"War against the Union is TREASON, AND
TREASON is THE GREATEST OF ALL CRIMES, not a
mere difference of opinion"

GARDEN WALKs.-As many persons have at
this time large heaps of coal ashes, they can
dispose of them in no way to better advan-
tage than by hauling them into their garden
alleys. Remove from four to six inches of
the dirt, and, having screened the ashes or
separated the core and cinders, first apply
the coarse stuff, then oyster shells, if you
have any ON hand, small stones, glass or
pieces of bricks, and topdress with the
ashes. Roll it., and you viii have one of the
best walks ever seen in a garden. The ashes
become very hard, and are never wet, winter
or summer, if the weather gives the water
the least chance to get away. In summer, Il
five minutes after a shower, there win be
scarcely enough moisture to dampen the soleS
of your shoes.
If there is not sufficient ashes for all the
walks, commence with the principal ones, and
in a couple of years the garden win be COM
plete. Then, each spring after, give them a
slight top-dressing of the ashes, which will
about consume your annual Saskatchewan.

Stains Of the RebeIIIous States.

In his reply to the address of Gov. NOR
TON, on behalf of the Indiana delegation,
President JOHNSON gave his views on the eff
feet of the rebellion upon the States engag-
ed in it. The subject is one that has been
widely discussed, and in respect to which,
inion. Gov. MORTON in his address took
the position that the destruction of a State
Government by majority of it's citizens does
not affect the existence of the State, and
that the loyal men of State have a right
70 govern it, be they many or few" Presi-
dent JOHNSON in reply said:
"Upon this idea of destroying States, my
position has been heretofore well known, and
see no cause to change it now, and | am
glad to hear its reiteration on the present oc-
casion. Some are satisfied with the idea that
States are to be lost in territorial and other
divisions; are to lose their character as
States But their life-breath has been only
suspended, and it is high constitutional OBJ
legation we have to secure each of these
States in the possession and enjoyment of a
Republican form of Government. A State
may be in the Government with peculiar
institution, and by the operation OF rebellion
lose that feature; 6'a 1t acas State when Il
,Cet into rebellion, and Uhe's 1t comes oaa a0ittout
that i1sstitation IL Is still State. [Great APP
plause.l
"I hold it as a solemn obligation in any
one of these States where the rebel armies
have been beaten back or expelled, care not
hoaO small tie number of Union men, If enough
to man The ship of state, I hold IL, I sag, a high
duty to protect and secure to them republican,
form of government This is no new opinion.
1t is expressed in conformity with my under
standing of the genius and theory of our gov
eminent. Then, in adjusting and putting the
government. upon its legs again, I think The
progress Of tbs aOOrk must fall into tie hands Of
is friends. [Applause.] If State is to Be
n,vsed until IL again gets strength, IL must be
narsed By its friends, not saothered By its ene-
mics. Applause.
"Now, permit me to remark that while
have opposed dissolution and disintegration
on the one hand, on the other, am equally
opposed to consolidation lapplauseI, or the
Capitalization of power in the hands of a
few" ts o
