SIN-CONSEOUENCE.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

She gasped at the realization-whicl
comes to most of us human creatures
i sooner or later-that sins may be forgiven
| but consequences are eternal.
The extract is from a recent novel
The heroine Of the story in a mo
ment Of resentment and pique break:
with the man she loves and marries
one for whom she cares nothing.
The awakening was fearful one.
She discovers that sin and it's conse
quence grow on the same stem.
However, -.
That which amazes her most Of al
is that "a crazy moment should ruin
whole life"
''It was as IL a pebble should dedect
river from its course and make II
turn and overflow a landscape"
And then
Suddenly It seems to her that her
whole life had been just a sunny slope
down to the edge Of a gulf.
1t is not the pebble that turns the
current. 1t is the easy slope that In
vites 1t. All her life Elizabeth had
been inviting this moment, Just as
some OF us are inviting baleful tomor,
rows"
How true an exposure Of human ac-
tion!
Men and women do not 10 wrong In
a moment They do not fall suddenly
as from precipice. They tread prim-
rose paths Of dalliance down q sunny
slOpe-to the gulf!
No action is isolated.
Each is linked to each like the links
OF a chain. Once the chain is forged
you are bound. Thought. feeling. ac-
ton. habit. destiny-those are the
links; that is the chain.
A man is false In one particular
tells lie. is mean or cruel or impure.
and nothing comes Of 1t. But
The consequences follow.
The man is started down grade. The
descent to Avernus Is easy. Later he
is launched on the toboggan slide.
When he least expects 1t he has reach
ed the bottom. He is amazed to find
that one little act has spelled ruin.
It was not the "crazy moment"-it
was "the easy SLOPE" the life tenden-
cy, which invited the rash moment.
"Sin may be forgiven. but it's conse-
quences are eternal'
Beware 'the easy slopep'

1t has generally been supposed that
the queen actually had much to do
with preventing Intervention by Eng
land. Charles Francis Adams, son Of
the American minister to Great Brit
ain at that time, denies this, and in a
recent address before the New York
Genealogical society read from his
fathers papers extracts to show that
it was really Lord Palmerston who
was instrumental in preventing Great
Britain from taking up the cause Of
the south. Palmerston disliked Glad
stone, and when the Grand Old Man,"
who then was not old at all, although
he may have been grand, made his IA
NOUS speech at Newcastle, in which he
said among other things that Jeffer-
son Davis had made "a nation" Pal
merston rebuked him, and the pro-
posed Intervention was dropped. At
this particular time Queen Victoria
was too much engrossed with family
matters to bother about mere affairs
of state. Does this end the pleasing

~ URING the month of May. 1861,
the chief activity on both sides
was in recruiting, drilling and
planning future campaigns.
Lincoln's second call for troops had
Just been made. and the states were
busy filling their quota. Jefferson Da-

and the activity in the south was as
feverish as in the north. One Of the
strange phenomena of the times was
The confidence shown by both sides in

this assumed for effect. In the popu-
lar mind it seemed to be firmly set

Yet the war fever was on. The peo-
pie were reading war, thinking war,

| Americans never did care much for the
royal pretense, but when Victoria took
up our cause we supposed that there
might be occasionally a good queen,

kings But now even this turns out a
fairy story. Napoleon Ill. was ut this

May was just becoming popular

There was another song that fancy

Lyon Takes Command In Missouri

General Harvey had been placed in
charge Of the Missouri troops and had
issued an address approving Lyons
seizure of Camp Jackson. but later had
entered into an agreement with Cen
eral Price for the maintenance Of
peace between the state and federal
troops. Soon after he was replaced BY
General Lyon.
Considerable excitement at this time
was occasioned by wild reports from
Harpers Ferry. On May Is the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad. which pass
eS through Harpers Ferry. requested
the government to take charge Of its
line. The next day it was reported
that the road had been blown up at
that point. This was denied after
ward. however, and it came out that
only one small culvert had been in
jured.
There was also trouble with the
mails. resulting in the gradual with
drawal Of mail accommodations from
the Confederate territory. On May IA
the service was suspended between St.
Louis and the lower Mississippi No
tice was given that other Withdrawals
would follow.

forbidding either Union or Confederate
troops crossing the state At the
same time Major Robert Anderson Of

Two incidents of this week throw
revealing light on the character OF
Abraham Lincoln. Appeals were made

real estate in which southerner~ were
concerned In retaliation for the refusal
to pay bills to northern creditors from

Fever For Enlistment.

The popular fever for enlistment Is
Illustrated by the New York Quaker
merchant, who said to one Of his
clerks:
"Wen, friend James, is thee willing
to enlisty
81 have thought Of it," replied the
clerk, but hesitated because 1 feared
to lose my situation"
If thee will enlist" replied the
Quaker, mot only shall thee have thy
situation, but thy salary shall so on
while thee is absent. But If thee will
not serve thy country thee cannot
stay in this store"
That the fighting spirit was abroad
was indicated by the fist fights all
over the north. Wherever came
southern sympathizer and talked about
1t there an alteration followed as the
sparks fly upward. 1t was the same
below Mason and Dixon's line. One
clergyman who preached in favor OF
the Union was given twentyfour
hours, or maybe it was twelve, to
leave the state. He left. There

dered why 1T was "sour'' apple tree
he was to be hanged on. since any
other kind would have served. but
perhaps the sour Indicated how peo
pie felt about it. These We're fierce
days. The time Of fraternzing be-
tween the "Yanks" and "Johunes" in
the trenches had not yet come.
The tensity of feeling is indicated
by two events occurring on May 16.
They took place as far apart as Mas
sachusetts and Cincinnati. The Bay
State legislature appropriated $1,000
600 for the war, and in the Ohio city
Dan Rice's circus was menaced By q
crowd until the Snowman pulled down
his own flag and hoisted the stars and
stripes.
Union troops were rapidly being con-
centrated at Fortress Monroe. Early
in the week General Wool was order
ell to take command, but later General
Butler refused to serve in a subordi-
nate position, so he was placed in
charge, and Wool was transferred
On May 20 a slight engagement took
place opposite the fortress The Con-
fcderates were seen to be terrifying
at Sewell's Point and were attacked
by the Star, Potomac gunboat The
Star succeeded in silencing one Of the
guns. but was herself hit The Free

Freeborn also captured two schooners
