General Grant wrote the following
concerning the benefits of the civil war:
"There was no time during the rebel
lion when | did not think, and often
say, that the South was more tC be bene-
fitted by defeat than the North. The
latter had the people, the institutions
and the territory to make great and
prosperous nation. The former was
burdencd with au institution abhorrent
to all civilized peoples not brought up
under it, and one which degraded labor,
kept it in ignorance and enervated the
governing classes. With the outside
world at war with this institution, they
could not have extended their territory.
The labor of the country was not skilled
nor allowed to become SO. The whites
could not toll without becoming de-
graded, and those who did were denomi
mated poor white trash The system
of labor would have soon exhausted the
soil and left the people poor. The non
shareholders would have left the coun
try, and the small STAKEHOLDER must have
sold out to lis moro fortunate neigh
bors. Soon the slaves would have cut

a pathetic a comic and a tragic page,

DIFFERENCE.

Difference is commonly supposed to
be due only to those who, in some re-
spec55, are admitted superiors. Men de-
fer to great bodily strength in a wrest-
ling match, to ripe scholar in intellec-
tual questions, to a skillful physician in
regard to health, to prominent archi-
tect in the plan of a building. Youth is
instructed to show Difference to age, the
employed to their employer, and we all
instinctively and rightfully defer to one
who is undeniably a righteous, just and
good man. When, however, we con-
slider the relations held to those who
can claim no superiority over us, to the
young or the weak, or the ignorant, or
the erring-whatever duties We enjoin
upon ourselves toward them-deference
is not among the number. We may
give them our pity, our sympathy, our
protection, our help, we may labor and
make sacrifices for them, but Difference
seems here somewhat out of place. Now,
it is just this feeling, showing itself
forth, perhaps unconsciously, in mems
conduct, which prevents the efforts put
forth for their fellow men from being
more efficacous. There is nothing that
pushes man downwards so fast as to
lose the respect of his fellows. Let him
perceive that he is regarded with con-
tempt, and he may soon become worthy
of it. Let his efforts be sighted, and
lie may gradually cease to put them
forth. Let him be tainted with his ig-
norance, and it may become even denser.
| No aid, however generous; no instruc-
ton, however valuable; no compassion,
however sincere, can do their true work
for him if they are unmingled with a
| certain Difference which is born of re-
spect. 1t will be said that respect can
not be given or withheld at pleasure
that it is an involuntary sentiment called
out only by qualities that deserve and
command it, and this is true. But men,
in their shortsightedness, by no means
discover all these qualities; on the con.
trary, they see only few of the most
conspicuous. Did they but search for
it, they would find something worthy OF
Difference in every one with whom they
come in contact. One, perhaps, is igno.
rant, and we cannot honor ignorance,
but he may be industrious, honest, a
good father, peaceful citizen, kind
neighbor. Are all these to be ignored
by the vain and petty assumption of {
single superiority? Another has done
an open wrong, and, so far as that goes
he has forfeited our respect. Yet, il
other relations of his life, we may per
haps find him to be faithful, patient ant
self-denying. Is there nothing Their
worthy of Difference? Perhaps it is
child that is brushed past with sens
of it's insignificance. Is there not in hin
the germ of all that commands honor
the promise of noble manhood, the hop
of valuable years of useful life?

heart under gay words, the success
of the attempt obviously depends upon
the acknowledged truth, that words are
the outward and exact expression of the
mind.
1t is true, then, that out of the abun-
dance of the heart the mouth speaketh-
that our general language shows the
general state of the affections. 4 bad
heart reveals itself in idle, evil speaking.
ULkind, unjust, disparaging words are
the fruit of a heart not right with God.
That they are thoughtlessly uttered
makes them the fairer representation of
what we really are. What do they evince
but soured temper, a selfish, carping
spirit-the contradictory to that law of
love which distinguishes the Gospel!
Idle words present an aspect still more
dcplorable in their not unflequent eff
fects. Il has been said that water, fall
ing drop by drop on the same spot on the
head will produce in the end the most
iiilSlioC pam W w iiSh oOthy IL oliC
can be subjected. 1t is also often true
that those sins which appear as drops
compared with others, are, on the whole,
| the most injurious TO society. Murder
and crimes of like magnitude are COM
paratively of rare occurrence. They
sometimes happen, stunning the commu-
nifty; but we soon recover from the shock
and move on in the customary way.
These great sins are not the greatest en-
cmies to our peace. From their rarity
they are not, in the sum, SO pernicious
as other sins, which, though Individually
destroying the ends Of social life. the
peace and happiness of men. And fore
most among such sins are idle words
an inconsiderate, hasty tongue. These
idle words arc the pests of life. Light
and trivial as they appear, they scourge
us. Society is increasingly bleeding from
their effects. Often do they break the
peace of families, sunder conjugal affec-
tons and stay the love ready to be
poured ont upon us. Domestic disagree.
ments and discussions, for the most part,
originate in these idle words-in the
rude, biting jest of perhaps a well-mean-
ing, yet inconsiderate husband, or in the
hasty answers of a splenetic wife; or, it
may be, in the disposition of both par
ties to find fault with and jeer each other
"a state, than which. if this world and
the next should be searched, but one,
perhaps could be found more dreadful.
But the sad effects of idle words stop
not here 1t is wonderful with what
celebrity these words travel, with what
swiftness they fit from mouth to mouth
They fly on the wings of the wind, and
receiving, as they pass from one to au
other, new accessions and greater sig
nificance, become the foundation of sus
, picions, heart-burnings, anger, malice
revenge and blood. We may live ou
: our appointed time and be guiltless O
, great offences. We may not defraud, Ii,
or steal; an oath may not pass the lip
