the Bloody Chasm. And what is that
Chasm2 1t is chasm deep and wide,

who shed it freely upon their country's
altar, in defense of her honor-in de-
fence of her life.

get, but when yon ask the mothers of
this Northland to forgive the wholesale
murder of their sons who we've starved.
FOR in cold blood shot down in Southern
prisons-when you ask the sisters in
this Northland to forgive the hosts who
washed their hands in the blood of their
brothers-when you ask weeping faith
ers who have built tombs for slaughter
ed sons, to forgive the unrepentant
rebels who slew them, you make a
greater draft upon christian forgiveness
than the bank of human nature is able
to stand.
When you ask us to forgive those
who never yet have shown signs of re-
pentance, or ever asked forgiveness
and, more than this, when you ask us
not only to forgive and forget, but to
shake the hand yet dripping with the
blood of our fellow countrymen, and
thus raise them to rule over us. we
most humbly, but most positively de-
cline. Nay! Their naked bones now
bleaching on Southern soil, point to us
in disdain--their blood calls to us from
the very earth on which we stand, and
their spirits like walking spectres haunt
us, as we'll they may, by night and by
day.
The Bloody Gasm' Again we ask,
whatais itS Can we comprehend it?
Yea On its surface float the spirits of
four hundred thousand victims of rebel
vengeance, Above thigh in mid
airs suspended the volatile, uncer
tain philosopher who proposes to de-
scend to the surface-step into oat
now floating DER its bloody waves, and
sail therein in triumph to the White
House. And what is this you ask?-
You ask us to stretch the arm of for
giveness across that Bloody Chasm, for.
getting the honors of the war, to grasp
the unrepentant rebel hand but lately
loosed from the very vitals Of this Ma
ton.
Nay! Although we may forgive,
forget it never. Never place in power
the hasd once raised to take your life.
Guard we'll those sacred rights which to
protect, so many thousands of our kins.
men have lain down their precious lives.
The Bloody Chasm. 1t is the enc.
mics of our country who have given us
that expressive phrase. 1t is the enc.
mics of our country and of the human
race, who now propose to sail upon its
dark, uneven surface, to place aud pow
err. Be not deceived, but remember it
we'll. Remember the war and its con.
equences-renember the gallant de.
Tenders of our Union. They saved our
country in war, and under their rule
it has prospered in peace. Aye! Re
member the Bloody Chasm with all its
untold horrors! Forget IL not-F0R-

Baggers have figured extensively in
the affairs as we'll as in the ARRAYS Of
men, though they are seldom used by
the women, except when they would
'look daggers at you," when you had
better daggle out of the way, instanter.
BY the way, daggers have sometimes
changed the course of history. They
have been more potent than bristling
bayonets or flaming swords. A dagger
sverthrew Caesar when all the arms of
hostile legions had failed to do it.
Yes, and Macbeth's bloody imaginings
took the form of dagger. But the
question arises whether the dagger was
after him or before him. He says
as this dagger l see before mel"
He should have inquired thusly:-"Is
this dagger l see so close behind me!'
There is where he saw it, no doubt. and
most persistently did it follow him.
Bayonets succeeded javelins and
spears. The "charge" of bayonets is a

Spears, mauls, javelins and pixies
are nearly obsole-out of use, mean,
and swords are rather ornamental than
otherwise. Gun-powder has effected
mighty revolution in arms, and, conse-
quently in the construction of the same.
But those bloody bayonets make mo

Sad, but true it is, that artillery and

SALT. AT meeting of farmers at Man
chester, New Hampshire, during the New
England tair, Major Peter Jones, of Amherst,
said he had used this season about a thousand
bushels OF salt, sowed broadcast, and he had
third mare wheat IN the places where he
used the salt than where he did not use it.
Next year he intended to use four or five
thousand bushels. He is satisfied that he
gets better results from salt than from any
other fertilizer. He applied salt to pasture
three years ago, and he gets third more
feed from that pasture than from land where
he has not applied it.
