And here, where he taught his first school,
he also preached his first sermon. Even

school house where he taught, and the vii

charge of it for that evening. At first be

remember the look of surprise-slmost scorn

it farce, until he began to speak. Then,
attention came levelled at him, and for
nearly an hour ecarcely one in that audi

an earnest one, simple yet eloquent. Not
once did he hesitate for a single word. SEN

MIR Davis" said Gen. Harris

to stoop TO murder. Many times
have | heard him deplore the XII
ling of Lincoln, and he regretted il
as keenly Y as any man in The South.
He had the greatest respect for Mr..
Lincoln aud always spoke of him
in terms Of highest praise. 1t is
strange that the accusation was not
made until after Mr. Davis death.
and that fact alone ought TO stamp
il as an untrulh.
THE whole truth is that Mr..
Davis was made The scapegoat of
The entire war, and he has been
abused and malianed as no man
ever was. While Lee and Jackson

we're forgiven Davis never was,
