1! WHY SHOULD THE SPIRIT OF MORTAL BE PROUD
fsS Ss by M. Kn. .se
sident Lincoln, by whom it was often rected
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud9
Like swift, feeting meteor, a flying cloud,
flash of the lightning, break of the wave,
He passeth from life to his rest in the grave.
The leaves of the oak and the willow shall fade
Be scattered around and together be aid
And the young and the DID, and the low and the high
Shall moder to dust, and together shall lie.
The infant a mother attended and loved;
The mother that infants affection who proved;
The husband that mother and infant who blessed,
Each all, away to their dwellings of rest
The hand of the king that the scepter hath born;
The brow of the priest that the miter hath worn;
The eye of the sage and the heart of the brave
Are hidden and lost in the depths of the grave.
The peasant whose lot to and to reap;
The herdsman who climbed with his goats up the steep;
The beggar, who wandered in search of his bread,
Have faded away like the grass that we tread.
The maid whose cheek, whose brow, in whose eye
Shone beauty and pleasure-her trumphs are by;
And the memory of those who loved her and praised
Are alike from the minds of the living erased.
The saint who enjoyed the communion of heaven,
The sinner who dared to remain unforgven,
The wise and the foolish, the guilty and just,
Have quietly mingled their bones in the dust
So the multitude goes, like tile flower or the weed
That withers away to let others succeed
So the multitude comes, those we behold,
10 repeat every tale that has often been told.
For we are the same our fathers have been;
We see the same sights fathers have seen
We drink the stream and view the
And run the same course our fathers have run.
The thoughts thinking our fathers would think;
From the death shrinking fathers would shrink
TO the life clinging they also would cling;
But it speeds for us all like bird on the wing.
They loved, but the story we can not unfold;
They scorned, but the heart of the naughty is cold;
They greved. but wall from their slumber will come;
They joyed but the tongue of their gladness is dumb.
They died, aye! they died; things that are now,
That walk on the turf that lies over their brow,
And make in their dwellings transient abode
Meet the things that they met their pilgrimage road
Yea! hope and dependency, pleasure and pain,
We mingle together in sunshine and rain;
And the smile and the tear the song and the drge,
Still follow each other, like surge upon SURGE
IT'S the wink of eye tits the draught Of breath;
From the blossom of health to the paleness of DEATH
From the gided saloon to the bier and the shroud-
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?

i HST1AN States of America, and
| gA-Ag commander-in. chief O
the army and navy thereof, do
hereby proclaim and declare that
hereafter, as heretofor, the war
will be prosecuted for the object of
practically restoring the constitu-
tional relation between the United
States and each of the states, and
the people thereof, in which states
that relation is or may be suspend
ed or disturbed.
That it is my purpose, upon the
next meeting of Congress, to again
recommend the adoption of a prac-
tical measure rendering pecuniary
aid to the free acceptance or rejec.
ton of all slave states so called
the people whereof may not then
be in rebellion against the United
States, and which states may then
have voluntarily adopted, or there
after may voluntarily adopt, i'm
mediate or gradual adjustment of
slavery within their respective linn
its; and that the effort to colonize
persons of African descent. with
their consent, upon this continent
or elsewhere, with the previously
obtained consent of the govern
ments existing there, will be con-
tinued.
That on the first day of January,
in the year of our Lord one thou
sand eight hundred and sixty three,
all persons held as slaves within
any state, or designated part of a
state, the people whereof shall
then be in rebellion against the
United States, shall be then,
thenceforward, and forever free;
and the Executive Department of
the United States, including the
military and naval authority there
of, will recognize and maintain the
freedom of such persons, and will
do no act or acts to repress such
persons, or any of them, in any ef-
forts they may make for their
actual freedom.
That the Executive will, on the
first day of January, by proclama-
ton aforesaid, designate the states
and parts of states. if any, in which
the people thereof respectively
shall then be in rebellion against
the United States; and the fact that
any state, or the people thereof,
shall CD that day be in good faith
represented in the Congress of the
United States, by members chosen
thereto at election wherein a ma
jority of the qualified voters of
such state shall have participated,
shall, in the absence of strong
countervailing testimony, b e
deemed conclusive evidence that
such state, and the people thereof,
are not in rebellion against the
United States.
The attention is hereby called to
an act of Congress, entitled:
IAN ACT to make an additional
Article of War;" approved March
13, 1862, and which act is in the
words and figures following:

AMERICAN AND GERMAN EFFIC.
IENCY

The searchlight of war has brought
out many interesting facts, and one
Of these is that the Wanted German
efficiency will not always stand the
test of comparison with American eff
ficiency.
The Germans boosted Of being the
greatest farmers on earth. Investi-
CATION shows that in efficiency in agri-
culture, measured by the produce per
acre, America being graded 100, Bel
GUM leads the world, at 205; Great
Britain comes second, at 1854; and
Germany third, at 1856; America
comes fourth.
But the better test is the man test
rather than the acre test, and here
America leads the world by over to
1. Again, grading America at 100
per farm worker, Great Britain pro-
duces 40 and Germany'41. The Amer
lean farmer cultivates q acres, the
German farmer but Z. With the aid Of
vast quantities OF fertilizer the Ger
man produces more per acre, but he
produces at a much greater cost per
bushel and he produces much less
than half as much per man.

1T IN BROCK BILL

Frankfort, Ky.-With the senatorial
district reapportionment enacted and
signed by the Governor, efforts to
frame an acceptable reapportionment
of the 100 legislative districts have
been redoubled by Senator Brock, of
Harlan, who has a substitute in the
Senate special orders which he hopes
will pass. The substitute bill gives
the Democrats shade the best of it,,
reducing the normally Republican
districts to about thirty-one, whereas
now thirty-six or thirty-seven usually
go Republican.
On the other hand, in order to con-
form to the Constitution and reduce
the number of big, growing, noun
tain counties in a district or two, it
has been necessary to double up some
counties in Central and Western Ken
lucky. The population basis in
creases Jefferson county's represen-
tation in the House from eight to
eleven and cuts out one of Warren
county's representatives
While scattering Republican noun
tain counties that have been hud-
died three and four in a district, has
added some Republican districts,
splitting up the Floyd-Knott Letcher
district, putting Floyd by itself and
Knott with Magoffin, taking Lawrence
away from Boyd and putting it with
Elliott and one or two other shifts
on both sides of the mountains have
offset this, while Democratic gains
are made by expanding Louisville's
influence.

bered from the tip of the Big Sandy
