1t is with pride that American
manhood notes the firmness of our

could not, would not be seduced; who
could not be induced to forget their
loyalty to the Power which gave

would not, though tainted with be-

which is un-American and ungentle-
manly, turn their backs upon the re-
ligion taught them at their mothers
knees when they first lisped,
Now ! lay me down to sleep,

Aud if should die hcforc wake,

ried many of their dear old mothers

them, too, to meet the sweet guides

must surrender its coil. And even
though some Of the members of this
Congress who voted to keep the Sab
bath day holy, may not Themselves
drink of that living water which Jesus
spoke of to the women of Samaria,
the respect they have for the doctrine
Of their mothers should exalt them

bosom there even shoulders the fires
