At the dedication of the Poe monument in
Baltimore speeches were made, in the course
Of which the biographical sketch of Poe by
the late Rufus W. Griswold was severely
animadyerted upon. This biography seems
to have been rather a satire upon the man,
and caricature of him, than q just tribute
10 his memory. On this point all were
agreed, but TO one seemed to understand the
secret of its beirg so. According to the New
York LeoCer, the explanation is that Poe
and GrisW old were both passionate admirers
Of the same woman, and Griswold was very
jealous. Under the circumstances he was
poorly qualified TO write just words OF his
rival, even after lie had passed away.

1T will be seen, amounts to an assessed value
of S99, 452 ,6Si, while there is a greater pre-
portion OF exempted real property than in
any other city Of the union. Full lists and
descriptions OF this exempted property are
given, footing up as follows:-Owned by the
United States government, (not including

WHITTIER ON WAR AND THE CHURCH..
From the Boston Globe

Fr1m bne Boston GloOe.
We have been permitted TO copy the
following letter Of John G Whittier,
writ en- t. Dis friend. the Rev. = B.
Miles, D. D., General Secretary Of the
Assooist on for the Reform and Codif-
ca ION q the Law OF Nations
"AMsBURY, IL, Month. 1875. To
James Miles, Secretary, etc: Ny Dear
Frj8md: 1t is eminently flung TO con
meet tie Centennial anniversary of the
opening battles Of the Revolution with
lhe growing sentiment of civilization
that there is 2 more excellent way Of
settliBg the DISPUTES o. nations han the
ordeal Of war. 1t is cheering to nGte
thevery general favor with which theplan
of arbitration has been received by states
men and civilians in this country and il
Europe; but there are other signs of the
times well calculated to occaeion solici-
tude en- the part cf every lover Of peace.
The menace of dangernow seems TO come
from tie professed church Of Christ. AT
this moment, peace of all Europe is
threatened by the secret plots and mon
strous public professions of ecclesiasti-
cism. lf war comes in consequence, If
the faaaat harvestfelds Of the world are
made IN arena of battle, men who claim
to be especially the priests and represen-
tatives of the Gospel of Peace will be
held responsible. Woe to the church,
which, for the sake of power and dogma,
breaks the truce of God among the ma
items, makes its missionaries, assassins,
and mingles blood with its wine of sac
rament.
1T is high time for the Christian
Church to awaken to a full sense Of its
awful responsibility. IF, after the dread
ful experience ofeighteen hundred years,
it fails to perceive the necessity OF shak-
ing itself clear Of the barbarism of war,
it has small claim upon the worlds re-
spect and confidence. sleaves are not
for the healing of the nations.

HAND.

The Baltimore, American says: An
old friend from Montgomery County
dropped into our office few days aimee
whom we know to be strict Lutheran,
and always swears by the uplifted hand.
We called his attention to the action Of
Mr.. Beecher, and expressed some surprise
thereat. He rejoined that it did not sur
prise him, for LIE also entertained conscien-
tious scruples about swearing upon the
Bible. Whe asked him to explain what
they were. His answer was in effect -
that the Bible was simply book COM
posed of paper, upon which Letters ware
printed representing the word of God /;
that simply as book he attached no
more importance to it than he did to any
ether piece of mans mechanism; that
swearing upon it, and kissing it. was CIV
ing to it a superstitious Importance
which he was consclentiously opposed to;
upon the same principle he would be
conscientiously opposed to making oath
upon crucifix made of wood or other
material representing Christ upon the
cross; that his religion WAS opposed to
anything like superstition, and hence re-
fused to give the bible any superstiticus
importance by kissing it; that God was
a spirit; that when men raise their hanos
heavenward, and solemnly swear by and
IN the name of that great spirit to tell
the trnth, etc, IT WINS infinitely more SOL
emn and impressive than kissing an in
animate bundle of paper and ink. We
at once confessed the correctness Of the
distinction, and likewise realized its full
weight and Importance, but which had
not previously occurred to u.s."

yRITTEN FOR TIE OCCASION BT JOHN G. WHITTIER
No maddening thirst of blood had they.
No battle JOY was theirs, who set
Against the alien bayonet
Their homespUn breasts in that old day.
Their feet had trodden peaceful ways;
They loved not strife, they dreaded pain;
They saw net, what TO US is plain,
That God would make man's wrath his praise
No seers were they, but simple men;
it, vast results the future hid;
Che meaning of the work they did
Was strange and dark aud doubtful then.
Swift as their summons came they left
The plow mid-furrow standing STILL
The hall ground cern-grist in the mill;
The spade in earth, the ak in cleft.
They went where duty seemed to call,
They scarcely asked the reason why;
They only knew they could but Gle,
And death was not the worst of all !
Of man for man the sacrifice,
Unstained 10y blood save theirs, they gave,
The fow ers that bloseomed from their grave
Have sown Themselves beneath all ekics.
Their death shot shook the feudal tower,
And shattered sIaverys chain as well
On the sky's dome, as on bell,
It's echo struck the worlds great hour.
The fateful echo is not dumb;
The nations listening 10 its sound
Wait, from century's vantage ground,
The holier triumphs yet to come
The bridal time Of Law and Love,
The gladness or the worlds release,
When, war-sick, at the foot OF Peace
The hawk shall nestle with The dove =
The golden age of brotherhood
Unknown to other rivafies
Than OF the mud humanlttes,
Aud gra cioIs interchange Of good.
When closer stand shall lean TO strand,
Tillmeet, beneath saluting flags,
The eagle of ur mountain crags,
The lion of our Motherland!

THE BEAUTY OF MORAL FORCE
is a wiser man whp sees his own imper-
fections than he who discovers planet,
or Is able to plan campaign or build
fort. He is more a conqusror who
quells the baser passions within and
brings the animal nature into subsection
to the moral, than be who subdues the
world. He is stronger man who
moulds society mentally and morally,
who IS able to direct the forces of the
mind and soul, than he who successfully
fights with bulls aud bears, or overeomes
q giant in mortal combat. He is more
brave man, hero, who dares to do right,
to brave popular Indignation, than he
who stands unapralled at the cannon'ss
mouth. The one is as far above the
other as the mind and soul are Superior
to the body.
