oo>e4ulee. Kindness! WY, ii fifty men
all agioW with i. should walk through the
lost world. methlnks they would almost
abolish periition.
Furthermore, there is kindness Of action.
That Is what Joseph loEoi u his out
rageous brothers. That is what David
showed to- M4phibosneth for Ills father
Junaunans saae. That is what Onesiplorus
showed 10 faul i'll the Roman penitentiars.
Thet IS what William Cowper recognized
when he said n= would NOT trust u man WAC
would with ais foot nee llessly crush d worm.
That Is wnat our assa>sinated Pfesi-
dent Lincoln demonstrated waen his
private secretary found him i'll tue
Capitol grounds trying to get a
bird back - the nest from which 1t had
fallen. and which quality the iliustrloas man

mire. after awhile cried TO his horses, "Ho"'

and help that hog out OF the mire.' Auf he

when ut Washington. senators wife who

crying That is the spirit that Grant
showed when at the surrender at Apo

many OF your soldiers are farmers and will
need the horses aud mules to raise the crops
to keep their families from suffering merit
winter, let each confe ierate VINO eau Claim
a horse Or mule take it along with him.
That isthe spirit which. last night, ten thou
sand mothers showed TO their sick children
coming to give the drink at the twentieth

first call.
Suppose all this assemolaye. all to whom
these words shall come by printers type,
