The shepherd and the sIIar.

The Persian King lives At-a dreadful fearful man
TihH In summer time, In winter Ispahan.
His garden, paradise the rose runs riot in,
Ii filled with armed to guard him from his kin,
And 80 he wanders forth at times, alone TO be.
A shepherd In the plain, one morning, thus met he,
Whose son, fair Young boy was walking by his side.
"WhAt Is your name7"
Then to the King the man replied;
"Karam" land while he spoke, he broke on in the
song
He sang as with his flock Of goats be walked along);
al dwell 10 a reed hut by yonder bubbling spring,
And have my son love and therefore Ills sing

T''This, and one other American speech, that of
John Brown to the court that tried him, and part of
Kossuth s speech at Birmingham, only be com
pared with each other, and with no fourth Elmer
son.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers
brought forth upon this continent new nation,
conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the propo-
sition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in great civil war, test
ing whether that nation or any nation so
conceived and SO dedicated, can long endure.
We are met upon great battlefield OF that
war. We have come to dedicate portion OF
that field as final resting place for those who
here gave their lives that that nation might live
1t is altogether fitting and proper that we
should do this.
But, in larger sense, we cannot dedcate-we
cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow-this
ground The brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here, have consecrated it far above
our power to add or detract The world Will
little note, nor long remember what we say here,
but it can never forget what they did here. 1t
is for u.s. the living, rather to be dedicated here
to the unfinished work which they who fought here
have thus far so nobly advanced. 1t is rather
for us to be here dedicated to the great task
remaining before US; that from these honored
dead we take increased devotion to that cause
for which they gave the last full measure of de-
votion; that we here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vain; that this Ma
ton, under God, shall have new birth OF free
dom, and that government of the people, by the
people, and for the people, shall not perish from
the earth.

he could mingle with the people frequently

Postomce Editors.

What are called postcfice editors promise to
increase rather than diminish under the present
administration. The first break has been made
at Martinsville by the appointment of editor

Balm, of the Republican. This is swapping the
devil for witch with vengeance. An soffen-

removed in the interest of civil service reform
and an offensive partisan" on the Democratic
side has been but in his place in the interests it
is supposed by the marines, of the same great
reform. Concerning these postoffice editors a
good deal may be said with reference to the in
fuence of such appointments upon the welfare
of newspapers.
When an editor becomes postmaster we can
no longer expect fearless and unbiased expires
sion of opinion from him concerning parties or
policies. AS he holds Office under an administra-
ton and gets pay from it, he naturally becomes
a servile eulogist of his employers or at least
yields passive acquiescence in all its doings
whether right or wrong. In other words the
two duties conflict He has a collar around his

The editorial side of him, with its natural in
stinct, suggests that he should "go for the ad.
ninistration and expose It's wrongs or follies.
But the postofice side of him, overcome by that
'rascally virtue, prudence" whispers that it is
not wise to quarrel with ones bread and butter,
but safer to 90 slow. Thus is there an irrepres-
sible conflict between the postoffice half and the
editor half of the distracted scribbler. Like the

LET all business be suspended this after
noon, and the hour be sacredly devoted to the
duty and privilege of the day. This is not
a holiday in the sense in which
that word is generally used, but in
good truth it is a holy day. 1t is a holy trust,
committed to this people-to keep and
maintain what these brave men died to pre-
serve. There is no occasion to recall
in any bitterness the fearful struggle
in which our dead heroes gave up
their lives; but there is occasion for renewed
conservation of the living ito the patriotic
purpose of defending and honoring, in all
just ways, the principle of national sover-
eighty and individual liberty for which they
offered themselves willing sacrifice.

THE appointment of Col. Charles DENLY, Of
Evansville, as minister to China, so far as ap-
pears, is in every way creditable one. He
is lawyer Of ability, and citizen of prom
inence and unquestioned integrity He was
a soldier of fair repute, and has done nothing
to forfeit the good opinion of his fellow-citi-
zens. The appointment is credited to ex-
Senator McDonald's influence, but it is said
that Col. DENLY had the solid support of the
Indiana Democracy for place in the diplo-
matte service. The appointment is one in
pleasurable contrast to the naming of some
California sand-lotter, which has been urged
vehemently by the extreme Chinaphobists.
