getting shabby, and his wife looked very
much troubled, the good people met to,
gether and resolved to atone for the mast
by giving him donation party. The
night came the sleighs drove up the peo>
PIE stamped the snow cluls of their Lerls
and the party began The most o!e us
had not eaten much DUNG the day, in
order that our appetites might be sharp
and keen. Some had brought smoked
beef and others bread, and Others cheese,
others tea, aud others coffee, aud Others
turkeys and geese. The few liberal souls
who brought largely and generously ate
but little, and demand no thanks
but we who had brought twenty five cents
worth Of provision ate fifty cent, worth,
aud we who had brought forty cents
worth ate nearly to the amount of Que
dollar, taking away in our handercbiefs
fer the children at home enough to make
up the full dollar. The carpets which
ought to have been replaced three years
ago by something better, were about fin
ished that night by the tramping of sew,

and dropped one trayfull )f the crockery
of Mr.. Mrs. Starvej-tO>death.
We left, when we came away, many
pieces offrut>cake with the raisins picked
out. Our horses had eight quarts of the
minister's oats; for we Lad come long
way. We left the domino ten or fiten
book-Mafks, more than enough to put on
the empty plats of the parsonage some
day when the fare is short. We added
to the mini8terS's library some fine copies
of the Patent CilIce Reports which
had been franked US by our Congressman
in Washington at public expense. We
ran our elbow through pane of glass,
which will help in the ventilation of the

had donation visit. We all feel le.>

Fraternity Between the North
and South.

The separation of the Methodist Epis>
copal churches in the Southern State
from those of the North in 1874, on ac>
count of slavery, many Of the ablest
statesmen of tho country predicted at the
time, would tend strongly toward sew
erance of the Union. Fhe membership
of these churches was very numerous in
both sections. They permeated every
strata of society from the highest and
most cultured to the most humble and
obscure. Being engaged in all the pro,
tesslonal and industrial pursuits, the
eayen OF discord thus eDgondered affected
public opinion everywhere. These ad-
verse Influences we're augmented by the
subsequent severance Of several
eral Others of the most populous and inAu.
ential religious denominations for the
same reasons, and substantially by the
same geographical lines. 1t appeared to
be expected from that time forward BY
thoughtful people, that politicians and
non>religioni5I9 would be largely inau-
encel by the considerations which divided
religious societies.
AT the close of The war involving the
destruction Of slavery efforts were made
by these religious communities to restore
tra'crnal relations. which have met with
gratifying success. Some of them have
formally united, and are again working
harmoniOusly in the Masters vineyard as
of ole. Others who have not yet deemed
it advisable, to merge the Southern and
Northern organizations into one, as
they existed before the unfortunate di,
visions occurred, embrace all Citing oc>
casIons to cultivate a spirit of brother
hood. and to bid each other God speed in
the common cause of evangelizing the
world.
This exhibition of Christian sympathy
appears to meet with universal approval
by the masses Of the people North and
South The call of Bishop Kavanaugh
and the ministers Of the Methodist Epis.
copal Church South on the members OF
the Northern Methodist Conference. in
session at Louisville, their fraterpal
greetings, and th1ir interchange of pul>
pits the following Sabbath, noticed in the
Chronicle, has produced an excellent
effect on the public mind, being heartily
approved by the press in all sections of
the country, as calculated to bury the
sectional asperities engendered during the
war.
AS the divisions of the churches BY
geographical lides on the subject of sla>
very performed potential part in stimu-
latlng an armed attempt to sever the
union of the States, it is reasonable to
conclude that the return of harmonious
relations will be equally effective in co.
menting a restored Union. A complete
union of the members Of each Of the
several religious denominations North
and South would render another civil
war between the people Of the two sec>
tlons morally impossible. They unques-
tionably possess the power, snder the
Divine blessing, to secure permanent
pee in our common country.
