tries no part OF our country or foreign
lands can excel the valleys and hills OF
the Ohio river. AT New Cumberland,
West Virginia, Toronto Empire and Liver
pool, Ohio, these hills abound with coal
and clay from which nre manufactured n
yellow brick used for ornaments, terra
Gotta nnd building purposes, also lnr white
yellow and china ware. Liverpool, city
OF $4,000 Inhabitants monopolizcd for n
long lime the manufacture OF white md
china ware. The English concealed the
art, but were Mt last onlwitted hy some
wide awake Yankee. At New Cumhcr-
land the VirginNns are full to over flow
Of n patriotic spirit The speeches aud
memorial services OF Decoration Day were

looks the river, il issurmounled by the model
Of a soldier from tho rank and file, ercc,

pend so much upon the men who wear
cpnuletis and WELD the sword M upon the
men who came from the fields and the
shop, who carry hnversacks aud shoulder
carbines, winchesiers and sharps rifles. 1t

valley seem 10 be very hospitable and
progressive race. No saloons have been
permitted TO carry on the vile traffic fo r
many miles in or around New Cumberland,
borrower so years The suckers, however, wet
their whistle out OF Jugs full, smugglcd
from the Ohio si'le of the river. Men

The Virginia churches are on good terms
ot fellowship. The Presbsterinns are
building large house Of public worship
out of beautiful sandstone of grayi.h
leal color with which the hills and val eys
abound. Grier, the venerable patriarch
who has been pastor of the church over
forty years. writes out the iecalogue 10
early ON the hearts of the children and
youth OF his charge. that they do not for
get IL in after years. This divinity ap-
pointed ambassador from the Court of
heaven fully and conlumaciously believes
that the laws of the Lord ~ the best regu-
lation of the State, both Social, Civil and
religious, that when God created man out
OF the dirt Of the earth and breathed into
his nostris the breath of life and adopted
them into his large family, lie knew how
to govern them and made code OF per-
feet laws that will admit OF no abrogatior
or amendment. 'Tis true, and pity 'tir
true. There il large class OF men, women
and children who are TO 70 pulled uI
with self-conceit as TO suppose that they
know more than God himself. While up
on the cars on the Ohio side on the way
from Freeman TO Liverpool we met man
who had the cheek to say that the Bible
which contains the Divine law in iull and
in brief was vicious book; that it caused
animosity and created divisions and made
, bigota. To this class belong lawless host
OF desperadoes, anarchists and free booier,
who go in for free trade, free whiskey, free
love and multitudinous kinds Of free rob.
berry. But the great'mass Of American peo-
pie are too well informed to entertain any
such blasphemy. The very foundation Of
the republic are based on the teachings Of
the Bible and the execution Of Divine L.w
When foreigners observe the benign influ-
; ence OF the Golden Rule. which teaches
every man TO love his neighbor as himself
rule that constitutes the heart and soul
OF our republic, they will cease to scoff at
hat grand old book-the Bible, the Magma
Chsrta Of universal Liberty, whose
revelations inspire our most dearly chris
tened hopes and give strength TO our most
triumphant exercises OF faith. We iully
believe that under the influence Of lis teach :
ings, the United States will take The lead
among the nations, that these stripes and
stars, the emblems of love TO God and good
will TO men, will float in The pure air of
heaven, higher and beyond all Others. In
that future era OF universal peace no en-
blems Of tyrany will be tolerated. The
cmancipated people of every race on the
face of the whole earth will cry out in one
voice, "Iland down that fag-ihe last flag
of tyrany. Then we shall have one flag
one Lord, one faill, and one baptism, a
baptism Of love. The flag OF liberty or the
stripes and stars will only fade ont in the
sunlight Of that day of universal emanci-
patton when the banner of the cross will be
hailed with acclamalion by all the nations
OF the earth. VIA.
