that God would forgive violation Of his
laws. Lincoln maintained that God
could not forgive; that punishment has
to follow the sin that Christianity was
wrong in teaching forgiveness that it
tended to make man sin in the hope that
God would excuse, and 80 forth. Lincoln
contended that the minister should teach
that God has affixed punishment for sin,
and that no repentance could bribe him to
remit it. In one sense Of the word, Mr..
Lincoln was Universalist, and in anoth-
er sense he was a Unitarian but he was
Theist, as we now understand that
word. He believed in God and in inn
mortality, as well as heaven-a place he
believed in no hell and no punishment in
the future world.

A PARAaUAYAN VILLAGE DURING THE
WAR.-The village Of Piribebay consists
of four streets intersecting each other at
right angles, and inclosing an open space
or grass-covered plaza, about a quarter Of
mile across. 1t is situated on gentle
slope or knoll, with higher ground or
crests on all sides at a distance Of about
a mile and a half. The houses are of one
story, and generally rooted with thatch.
Near the centre of the plaza or open
space stands the church, built in 1855,
and full Of quaint carvings and solid Or
naments of silver. Outside and in front
was bell-tower with full chime, which,
on account of the multiplicity Of festivals,
national and religious, was seldom silent.
On the crown of the knoll was the ceme-
terry, inclosing about an acre Of ground,
and marked by single large wooden
cross in the centre. The market-place
was under dense orange grove at one
extremity of the village, and always pre-
sented during the day spectacle full Of
life. Scores of women, old and young,
assembled there to sell their wares, and
kept up an incessant chatter all day long.
Their commodities consisted of any thing
in the way of food, fruit, furniture, or
clothing that would sell. The price Of
every thing was, of course, enormous.
The Piribebay-a clear and rapid stream,
very sudden in its rises and falls-passed
at the foot of the slope on which the
town was built. The whole population
bathed here every day, the women gener-
ally after night-fall. The house or ofic-
ial residence of the Vice-P President was
in the upper part Of the town. 1t was
unpretending in its style. The residences
of the cabinet ministers, and the barracks
for small detachment Of troops, occu.
pied the rest of the same side of the
street, all fronting on the open space iu
the centre.
At this time the population Of the
town was more than trebbled by the peo.
pie who had abandoned their homes out.
side the district of the Cordilleras. Al
night these unfortunates thronged the
corridors and orange groves, or slept any
where by the roadside where night over
took them. There was a great scarcity
of food, and suffering such as no Other
land has ever known. Nor was famine
their most deadly enemy. The cholera
for short time, was terrible visitor il
all the crowded cottages; and for some
weeks it seemed as if the three scourge.

For fear of being accused here Of unfair
ness, it is we'll for us to remind the reader
of what the allied governments and wri
ters are constantly and solemnly announc
ing to the world, with admirable serenity
and arnestness-that the war is carried
on not against the people but against th'
government Of Paraguay. They hav'
generously taken pains, too, to communi
cate this fact to this same people on re
peated occasions but we could not learl
that it changed the direction of singh
bullet, or cured the mildest case of chol
era, or filled the mouth of a single fam
ishing child.-GEN. M. T. MCMAHON, il

the horse is standing firm, the principal
weight is borne by heel and centre, no
heavy pressure being felt upon the toe.
Just as a line drawn from the heel to the
toe of mans boot would demonstrate a
slight curve, so is the natural curve given
to each of Dexters shoes. When a man
walks, there is a rising sloping action,
from heel to toe. and when horse is
trotting there Is rolling motion from the
back part of the hoof to the front. Ac-
knowledging the principle to be correct,
it stands to reason that a horse will
