The Gdlary for November contains the Sec
ond article from the pen Of Hon. Gideon
Welles reviewing the official activity Of Mr..
Lincoln as well as of Mr.. Seward, and their
relation towards each other during the late
war. Both these articles have been called
forth by the memorial address Of Hon. Chas.
Francis Adams on Mr.. Seward, and are in
tended to vindicate Mr.. Lincoln and TO cor
rect the erroneous impressions which that
address is apt TO produce. Mr.. Adams, 1t
will be remembered, not only extolled Mr..
Seward as one Of the greatest statesmen Of

The Springfield RepuL'ica" is ungrateful.
The Democracy cordially united year ago.
with it in its vulgar war upon Gen. Grant
and its attempt to defeat his election. But
then It still continues its assault upon Grant
and the Republican party, it has become dis
gdsted with the Democracy, and loses no OPP
portunity to give it stab. a few days ago.
referring to the address of the Democratic
Central Committee Of New York, 1t seeming
ly says the most interesting thing about it is,
not the assurance that fluff vote means a
glorious success, but the fact that it contains
a quotation from the Sacred Scriptures. In
the case of the New York Democracy, this
is a novel, and, we should say, an alarming
symptom.

pair of very thick boots evidently too large for
her dainty little feet. AT length the CATER were

neck demanded eight dollars he owed her. In
her vehemence, she tishtened her grip, and the
unfortunate man could not articulate a syllable;
he gurgled out few sounds, but not sufficient
to satisfy her strong importantly, so the little
ieet encased in the big boots began to play a
devils tattoo on his poor shin bones. A crowd
had collected who laughed heartily at the big
man who owed eight dollars, which the little
woman had determined to have satisfaction
fsr. Fiually he became enragsd and in scuf-

HYMN.

BY MRLCENiA A. CATO.
One hymn, q God, of praise to thee,
5eiors close my eyes in sleep;
Wniie darkness spreads DER land and sea
ana moon and stars their vigiIs keep.
One hymn Of grateful praise ia sing.
For al thy leve and mercies given;
While joyful halleiujahs ring
Through all the blissful courts of haava,
While seraph and bright seraphim,
Before thee cast their crowns of gold.
And angels veil, with glittering wing,
Their face with rapture all untold.
o God, creature, frail as 1,
Would raise to thee my feeble song,
Delgn from thy lofty throne on high
10 hear the lspings Of my tongue.
Fain would Join the heavenly thronp-
Ana joyful hallelujahs sing,
But am far, o far from home,
And earthly fetters chain my wing.
cannot rise above this sphere
cannot view thy smiling face
But, y love TO praise thee here.
In this low land, my dwelling place.
But earth cannot detain me long
Not long my soul, pris'ner keen.
Soon shall Join the blissfui throDe.
And then golden harp I'll sweep.
Sweetly the moonbeams smile on me.
And stars their silent vigils keep;
One grateful hymn I'll raise to thee.
MY God, and then In safety sleep.
