Generation after generation" says
fine writer, "have felt az we now
feel, and their lives were as restive as
our own. They passed like vapor,
while nature wore the same aspect of
beauty as when nature first command
ed her to be. The heavens shall be as
bright over our graves as they now are
around our paths. The world will
have the same attractions for our off.
spring yet unborn as she had once for
our children. Yet in little while all
have happened. The throbbing heart
will be at rest. Our funeral will wind
its way, and prayers will be said, and
then we shall be left alone in silence
and in darkness for the worms, and it
may be for short time we shall be
spoken of, but the things ef life will
creep in, and our names will soon be
forgotten, Days will continue to
move on, and laughter and song will
be heard in the room in which we
died, and the eyes that mourn for us
will be dried and glisten again for
/ Joy; and even our children will cease
to think of us, and will not remember
to lisp our names.
There has not been single year OF
peace since this century began. In
the first fifteen years there was war all
over Europe extending to this CONT.
nent. In the next ten years Mexico,
Central and South America were in.
volved. In the next twenty-five years
the great Europeon powers carried on
wars in Africa and Asia, followed by
the Crimean war and other wars in
various countries in Europe. Since
1900, England has waged forty-nine
wars, France thirty,six, Russia twenty
one, Austria twelve, and Prussia seven.
All this does not include the numer-
Gus revolutionary movements and in.
testine struggles in both hemispheres
or our own Indian wars and civil war,
all of which caused great misery and
loss of life. We may boast Of our
civilization and brag loudly of the
moral progress of the nineteenth
century, but the facts stated show all
such boasts and brags to be-brags and
boasts only.
The Charleston, S. c., Courier says
We differ from Mr.. Greely on most
subjects on which he has expressed his
views. His philosophy is in our opin-
ion tainted with eccentricity, his logic
is faulty in its premises, his political
economy is defective,and if truth must
be TOLD, his writings on the subject are
among the most tiresome in the
language, and his craftsmanship is no
better than his philosophy, his logic,
and his political economy, but his
graf talents aud his great heart merit
the admiration of every citizen of the
South. We are glad to see that he
has been we'll received up to the pres
ent time, and we shall be much disap-
pointed ii he does not return TO his
Northern home thoroughly satisfied
with his reception, and we shall be
equally disappoiite if our people do
not extend to him, wherever he may
