A Prophecy.


In his eulogy upon President Lincoln, in
the House of Representatives in 1865, Gen.
Garfield said:
"There are times In the history OF men
and nations when they stand no near the
veil that separates mortals and immortals,
time from eternity, and men from their God,
that they can almost hear the brealhings
and feel the pulsations OF the heart OF the
Infinite. Through such n time has this
nation passed. When two hundred and
fifty thousand brave spirits passed from the
field Of honor through that thin veil to
the presence OF God. and when at last its
parting folds admitted the martyred Pres
ident 10 the company of the dead heroes o
the Republic, the Nation stood so near the
veil that the whispers Of God were hear,
by the children of men. Awe.stricken b.,
His Voice, the American people knelt il
fearful reverence, and made solemn GOV
enant with God and each other that thi
Nation should be saved from Its en-
emies; that all it's glories SHOULD be re
| stored"

the growing tendency OF the Republican
