IHE POWER OF WORD A mother, on
the green hills of Vermont, was holding by
the right hand a son, sixteen years old, mad
with love Of the sea. And as she stood by the
garden gate one morning, she said: Edward,
the great temptation of a seaman's life is
drink" Promise me, before you quit your
mothers hand, that you will never drink"
"And, said he, Cor he told me the story,)
" l gave her the promise, and went the broad
globe over, Calcutta and the Mediterranean,
San Francisco, the Cape of Good Hope, the
North and South Poles. l saw them all in
forty years, and / never saw glass filled
with sparkling liquor that my mothers form
by the gate did not rise before me; and to-
day am innocent of the taste of liquor"
Was not that sweet evidence of the power of
a single word? Yet that was not balf
"For," said he, yesterday there came into
my counting-room a man of forty years and
asked me, "Do you know me ~ "No."
"Well," said he, 81 was once brought into
your presence on ship-board drunk; you
were a passenger, the captain kicked me
aside, you took me to your berth and kept
me there till had slept off the intoxication: :
you then asked me if had a mother. l said
/ had never known a word from her lips.
You told me of yours at the garden gate, and
to-day am master of one of the finest pack
cts in New York; and came to ask you to
come and see me-" How far that little can
die throws its beams That mothers word
on the green hills of Vermont Oh, God be
thanked for the mighty power of u single
word

LUTHERSBURG, Pa Sept. IA, 1868.
Mr. EDITOR Being present at Dem
ocratic meeting in Luthersburg on the 18th
inst, and hearing some explosions from the
big gun of Brady, | cannot resist the i'm
pulse to notice, through your columns, an
insult thrown at the soldiers during the
evening.
One of the speakers, during his remarks,
had occasion to make mention of the sol
diers. He termed them in very energetic
manner, the lousy, ragged, htiertag sol
diers," while, in the same speech, he said
= we should take the men of the South by
- the hand, in good faith and fellowship,
- and restore them their former rights and
. privileges, both socially and politically.
Now, | would ask Why not have as much
pity for the poor, lousy Union soldier, as he
(the speaker) shows to the thousands who
were in arms against the country? Ii the
ex-rebels are entitled to their former stand
ing as citizens by virtue al their ceasing in
rebellion, the ragged soldier should certain
" have the same privilege, as the war Is
over and they no longer bear arms Again !:
These same HieUing soldiers planted them
selves before Lees hordes at Gettysburg, to
protect hin, and his property from insult and
devastation, even if the price were life itself ;
and now. should they mol have just as good
right to feel an interest in the political
welfare OF the country as our friend Jeh
But think | can surmise the reason why
the ex-rebels, in his estimation, are more
entitled to universal regard than zoe are, to
wit The Union soldiers proved that they
can aud will protect the country and then
homes, while, on the other hand, the boys
in Grey" tried tooverthrow the Governme ent
and wiring the aforesaid speakers neck, but
failed; and therefore these rebels require d
certain portion of his pity and commisera'
ton, while those who saved the country from
ruin are termed by him as lousy, hter'nS
soldiers" and deserve none OF his pity
Well, JEFF, they ask none at your hands
They are better off without it, for it would
poison them.
| do not wish to be understood. however
that | would withhold from the residents
! of the Southern States their rights as citi-
zens one day longer than the safety and in
terests of our Government require; nay, a:
they prove themselves worthy | would ad
NIT them. But, while | accord this much
to the late rebels, wCu expect at the
hands of the friends of those rebels, at ieas
a proper regard for the services and feeling.
Of those who fought and bled in their coun
try's defence. Yours, &C., ID. A. w.
