THE MOTHERS LETTER.

Oh, postman on your weary round
what have you in your bag?
The tale of death, the tale OF birth; it is
not strange you lag
That last slow mile, as one by one, you
hand the letters in
Sweet messengers of love. and faith,
mid strife and woe and sin.
In yonder dingy boarding house therc
stands a tempted boy
The devil whispers in his ear: Come
taste my trimming joy.
Come, sell your soul, what matters it
about another world?
This world is here; come drink my wine
with sparkling zest impearled''
Oh. postman, ringing at the door,
you're haply just in time;
You hand his mothers letter; its sweet
ness cannot chime
With siren pleadings from the pit; let's
. look upon the page,
a nd see how mothers meet the foe,
when souls are thrown for gage.
Dear Ned" she writes, "old Poato
fails, the dog is growing gray,
I think he misses you, my dear; you've
been so long away,
What rambles Ger the hills you two in

cious, precious lad.

She gets to have a look OF you about the

To blame you-men must work in town,

I always trust the golden heart, behind

God bless you. Ned. Vacation time is
speeding on so fast,
I'll have you when the daisies bloom.
ere strawberries are past.
I love you, love you. darling Ned, this
stupid letter take
| And pardon any sorrows for your own

Oh, postman, trudging in the dark, an
angel went before
And left a blessing on the note you
handed in that door,
| And skulking outward on the blast,
the devil left his prey,
| Apollyon put to flight before a mother s
love today.
| And mother, with your boy away, and

| Do more than love, and more than

Write often of the simple things that

And let his childhood round his life

the numbers and powers of their
people, where slavery did not exist,
and IN the States where it did exist,
without their consent, they COM
menced revolution in distinct vio-
latlon of the constitution and laws.
they made themselves a lawless,
revolutionary paEty and became
rebels against the government of
the United States, and when they
levied war to carry out their policy
they became traitors. But the mi
nority could not try and punish the
treason Of the majority. Their pre-
tense was that they were fighting
to save the Union, and they made
thousands of honest soldiers believe
they were fighting for the Union.
Their leaders knew the Union res
ted en- the constitution, and that
their purpose was to overthrow the
constitution. The Union the SOL
diers fought for, was the Union es-
tabllShed by the constitution. The
Union the leaders sought was only
to be attended by the subverSion of
the constitution, the annulment of
the doctrine of State rights, the ma
king of consolidated republic,
abolishing the limitations prescribed
by the constitution, and substituting
a popular majority Of the. people Of
the whole Union in their stead, and
to open the way for individual and
corporate gain through the agency
of centralized government.
In the face of these great historic
truths that party has habitually
and constantly charged that the
war was causless, and brought
about by ambitious political leaders
Of the South, and that the Confed=
crates were rebels and traitors.
Can anyone conceive of a greater
departure from truth or Of a more
audacious attempt to falsify his
tory. And that to in the face of
the constitution and laws, in the
face Of the imperishable public re-
cord of the country, and Of the
public history Of their own actions'
have thus endeavored to give
some of the facts and reasons which
justified the Southern people in at
tempting to withdraw their allegi-
ante from a government openly
hostile to the rights of their State
and people in order to form for
themselves a government friendly
to those rights.
Our people were not responsible
for the war, it was forced on theEa.
They We're not rebles or traitors.
They Simply acted as patriots de-
tending their rights and their homes
against the IaWless and revolution
ary action of dominant and reck-
less majority.

Englanders became largely engaged

to some extent, as their history
shows, made Slaves Of indians and
shipped them off TO the West Indies.
And African slavery existed in all

and it existed in all the States ex-

The question OF slavery was first
brought seriously into our politics
| in 182o-1821, when Missouri
was admitted as a State. Public
opinion In this and other countries
began to change e4 this question,
and Great Britain and France
abolished slavery in their West IN
dia possession, and the question
began to be agitated more ex-
tensively in the United Staes to 1852.
fhe eat.number of Immigrants
from Western Europe made white
labor cheap in the Eastern States
and slave labor was not regaTd ed
as profitable there, and those who
owned slaves there sold them to
| the rice. cotton and sugar planters
of the South, where their labor was
more profitable. la fh|s way the
State which contained a majority
of the population of the United
States became what was called free
States, and the politician, to, secure
advanliss zoe of the South In iegisla-
ton, and to seccllre Offices BY popu,
lar favor, appealed to It's seetional
majority, and aroused and cultivss,s'"
ed hostility to the people of the
South because of the existence Of
slavery in those States. In 1856
the agitation of this subject develop
ed political party strong enough
for a natural organization, which
nominated John c. Fremont for
president and William L. DAYTON
for vice president, and this ticket
received ia votes in the electoral
college, all from the free States, as
against ia votes for Buchanan and
Breckenridge, who were lected.
All the Southern States and the
State of Pennsylvania and New
Jersey voted for the Buchanan
ticket, making nearly strict
sectional division.
This demonstration of sectional
strength caused an increase of ag-
gressiveness of the politicians Of
the North, and their appeals in
favor of the liberty of the slaves
fired Northern sentiment

The twenty-th.rd season OF the Choral
Symphony Society comes to a close on
Tuesday evening. The change from Thurs
day, the society's usual night. was necessi-
tated by the engagements of one or two of
the soloists. who come to st. Louis from
quite a distance 10 take part in this tonal
finale Longfollow's Golden Legend the
score for which was composed by Arthur
Sullivan.
The Golden Legend" is a familiar theme
and beautifully wrought out in the fayori;e
American poets best vein. The music has
occupied a high place in the estimation OF
experts and the general public.
The society has made ample preparations
for the adequate performance OF the work.
The chorus has studied the score unre-
mittingly since the Christmas holidays. The
work affords all parts OF the chorus 4
CHARGE for fine singing. The orchestral Sec
ton OF the work abounds in many beauti>
full passages. although the music is by no
means of a difficult trend.
The important part OF the composition is
the parts written for the quartet. which on
this occasion consists of singers of world
wide reputation. They are Nine. Blauvelt,
the famous American prima donna soprano;
Miss Jeanette Spencer, who comes highly
recommended as 4 contralto; the ~fagorite
young tenor, Evan Williams, who has sung
here repeatedly and always with distinction,
and William A. Rowland. the hasso who &C.
cupies the chair OF music in the University
OF Michigan at Ann ArboT.
Nine. Bleauvelt is at present on 4 tour
through the West. having recently sung IN
Cincinnati and achieved a triumph. She Is
a beautiful woman and one of the most ac-
complished singers this country has ever
produced.
When the desirability Of closing the sea-
son with the cantata was first preached the
need OF securing Nine. Blauvelts services
was uppermost in the minds OF the SoloisS
and Programme Committee, and not until a
contract with her was certain was the
"LegenR" announced as the closing Offering.
Next Tuesdays concert Is the last of The
subscription concerts. Since the beginning
OF the season some changes have occurred
in the subscription membership and these
and other causes have brought about the
opportunity Of q larger part of the general
public being likely TO ind admission to this

The business success OF the society dur
ing the season has been due. in very large
measure. to the tactful procedure OF its
president, John Schroers.
Much OF the advancement in scholarship
revealed BY the instrumentallsts is the re-
suit of the work OF the chairman OF the
Orchestra COMMITTEES, Mr.. Alexander Hen
neman. whose devotion has been one OF the
inside features OF the conduct of the So
ciety. Mr.. kroeger has given valuable id
vice in the matter Of programme building.
Mrs. James l. Blair has also been active
in this relation. and the society has been
fortunate in receiving cooperation from
many prominent musicians. whose judx-
ment has aided in building up the best mu-
steal apparatus the city ever Boosted The
plans for next season may exclude the Sc
ries OF popular concerts, the cyclus being
confined TO six subscription concerts.
On this point no definite arrangement
seems to have been reached, and indeed II
lis a trihe early for such consideration
Among the best concerts OF the closing sea-
son has been that OF the opening in No
vemoer last. when the pianist, Raoul Pug
no. was the soloist. Another very success
ful event was the presentation of The
Messiah by n local quartet. In the way OF
musical novelties none proved more &C
rceptable than George Schumann's Liebss-
fruehIinS overture, recently performed for
the first time in America by Mr.. Ernst and
his men. Since this introduction the massive
work has found a place on the repertoire
