Speaking on the Slave Code bill in reply to
General Farnsworth in Congress, in 1850,
Logan said he advocated the bill because il
would ''put in the penitentiary such man rs
you have in your part of the country who
band together and conspirs for the purpose OF
stealing fugitive slaves It Ia for the purpose
of reaching your 'irrepressible con aict', men
who have engaged-if not directly, indirectly
lin murder and everything that is disrepu-
table, dishonorable, d1sgraceful, and shock

to humanity" which Logan wished to
punish with the penitentiary, was the liberia
ton of the slaves.
A great deal has been said about the rela-
ton the destruction of forests bears to the
recent floods in the Ohio valley. Lieutenant
Colonel William E. Merrill of the engineer
corps, who has had charge for several years
of the government works on the Ohio, whose
scientific and practical knowledge of the
subject is probably not exceeded by
that of any person in the coun.
try, says that he sees no reason to
believe that the clearing of level land has
much, if any, effect upon the streams. He
has no doubt that cutting OF the wood on
the hillsidss does have the effect to aeeravate
foods by Fastening the melting Of snow and
delivering the rainfall more rapidly into the
water courses. But he il sure that the
mountainous region of the watershed of the
Ohio and its tributaries has not been cleared
to such an extent as to affect materially its
capacity to retain the rainfall He is con-
vinced that the scheme of retaining the
water by means of artificial reservoirs at a
practicable expense is not feasible and does
not think anything can be done to prevent
floods In that stream unless some means of
controlling the fall of rain and snow can be
discovered. The rainfall must find its way
to the sea through that channel, and when it
comes in greater volume than the capacity of
that channel. the river must overflow its
banks. 1t is as much beyond human control

Loving Too Much.

A mother asks "Is 1t wrong or
dangerous for me to love my child as I
dc? l am troubled about this matter. /
often hear 1t said am making an idol
Of my child, and that God may there.
fore take 1t away from me. Do Won
think that God could do such q thing
as that ?"
No, God never punished any one for
loving another too much, and he never
will. No one can love another TOO
much. We may love God little or not
at all, but this is another question.
Love is of God. Ee gave Won vour
child to be loved, and all the wealth Of
your mothers heart may 90 out to il
free as the water flows'in the mountain
stream. Many 3 one has first learned
to love God through the love of little
children.
If our Father takes away your babe.
or husband, or others that you love. he
does 1t In wisdom and Kindness. but
never because he is Jealous of the love
you bore them. He gives us our friend.
ship and loves as he gives the flowers
and the beauty of earth, that we NAV
enjoy them to the fullest. Love with
all your II fe, and be not afraid, But n
you set your affection on anything here
to the exclusion or forgetfulness OF
your Father in heaven, then you turn q
blessing intoa curse, and instead OF
Fult Will find ashes and grief.
