such a catalogue of blood. It is a

and poisonings, and almost literal

Wives elope from their hatbands. A
confusion worst than the wrangling

dominate the land. What can be the

some of these offences may be truly
charged to onr account, whatever
influence they may have had in de
veloping the present all pervading
insanity for tht commission of crime.
Our abounding material prosperity
seems to have tapped away, to a large
extent, all tht foundations of national
moral life. We have followed in the
labyrinthine ways of frauds and de
ceptions and tread dries. Truth and
honor and manly faith and noble in
tegrity teem to have lost their charm
to fascinate1. But .the more immedi
ate practical cause of tbit comprehen
sive criminal epidemic, ia beyond all
question, tbe late war from which the
nation has o recently emerged. From
that war lias grown the mass of efupe
ments that load, and of auicidos that
darken tht oolumnt of newspaptrs.
From that war bat grown the des
tructive assaults on life and property
that are cow so rife tbrongh the land,
lien accustomed for years to deal
with human lifo anH properly hy the.
summary process of war, inevitably
perpetuate, in multitudes of instances,
the same contempt for tht rights of
both property and life, long after that
war has formally ceased.
The Labita of wholonalo sacrifice
contracted in war, are brought home
to the quiet ahades of domestic lifo.
Conjugal alienations grew up during
the war. Wives are tempted to de
pravity during tho absence of their
hufcbands, ana husbands grow callous
and indifferent by virtue of the t-ame
absence. Meanwhile household alien
ations and jealousies sprout up and fill
the tame dread interval. Sons grow
into disrespect for their fathers, and
wives lose faith and confidence in their
husband. Here then wt have just
the combination of circumstances,
especially auspicious for th produc
tion of tbe crimes to which we have
been referring. Wives are ready to
run away from their husbands, and
sods are ready to tlay their fathers.
Husbands ait ready to shoot their
wives paramours, ai.d paramours are
ready to blow their own brains out.
Children are ready to cut each other's
throat, and the whole saturnalia of
slaughtering and poisoning is ready
to open its fearfully bloody carousal.
Tbe prospoct U sad in the extreme to
contemplate, and calls lor a remedy
prompt and radical to arrest the fierce
fanaticism. All that it good and pure
and true and virtuous in tht land,
must combine ia ont compact mass,
with locked thitlda, and confront tht
raging spirit with tht whole unani
mous moral power of the community.
We know not that this remedy can
prove effective, and perhapt tht deep,
distressing malady mutt be left, to be
handled with efficiency only by the
healing influence of time. But we
are sure that no influence less than
that above indicated, can produce any
present permanent reform. The whole
moral power of the community must
bt summoned to tht re scut. The sur
viving virtut of tht people must corn
bins m one nnanimoua effort. They
must set tbaWaca in one solidified
front against the whole riotous mob
or crimes and vices, and then perhapt
tht fierce storm may ba partially
alltt-ed. But nothing abort of auch
an earnest, determined effort can
reach tie root of tht disease. May
o4 to hit infinite clemency inspire
tht publio heart with thit lofty reso
lution, and thsreby tavt thit nation
from tho consequences of thtir sins.

The mutual endurance of protracted
trial will bind hearts together more
closely often than the hearts them
selves aro aware of at tho time. Ab
sence, too, will cover over little differ
ences of disposition, tho wear and tear
of daily contact, and tho inevitable,
though often invisible conflict of the
frequently opposing interests 01 soiiun
wills. It is a blessed work that Time
docs in burying any remembrance of
human frailties that may have existed,
and cherishing only the better, nobler
deeds end influences of our lives. We
forget the little weaknesses, and recall
only the strength of old friends, when
separation ia broken and union comas
again. And our sympathies are en
larged, and effection is rekindled, and
tht greeting is generous and heartfelt.
So it was that we came back to find
open heart and open homes on all
sides, with not one inharmonious voice
in tho midst of this faithful and beloved
charge. It it always worth while for
one to go back occasionally, to discover
by the test bow truo is human nature
especially in Christian people where
it has been regenerated to the higher
instincts and sentiments of life. One
knows not how many and how sincore
are tho friendship! of life, which we
are constantly forming, if we seek to
deal justly and truly by our fellow-men,
until we come to review them together,
and to measure them by a common
standard ia our hearts. Then tht
response comes in ardour, unconcealed
and unaffected.

.None but tht most depraved would
urge a measure of retaliation merely
for the sake of spite ; and on the other
hand, none but the most cowardly
would hesitate to use the power of

arise mankind are com polled to obey
the impulses of resentment and em
ploy the means which they sogpest
as mere measures of safety. Tht
course of the negroes in thit State in
tht lata elections arrayed as they
were in solid phalanx against the in.
terests, nay the property and even
the liven, of the whito people, presents
the most irrefragable proof that their

radicable. Nothing, therefore, re

Fortunately, tbe meant of onr de

ingratitude which has characterized
our domestics and employees, in turn

of wretches who are unprincipled apos

alone upon implacable hostility to

patience to await our impending exe
cution. The negroes have shown us
that "blood is thicker than water '

the issue and treat them with defen
sive severity, differing not indeed
Irom the spirit, but only jn the meas
ure, from the treatment which our
English frionds Died towards tho So
poys of India when white safety de
manded British severity. As wo have
said, we need not nso the means of
violence and bloodshed as our defence,
but only the simple remedy ol con li

In July, 1865, Hon. J. 11. Campbell
United State Minister to Norway,
wilh a party of Ainorican gentleman,
went far enough north to tee the sun
at midnight. . It was in 6!) degrees
north latitude, and they ascended a
cliff 1,000 feet high above the Arctic
sea. The scono ia thus described : "It
was late but still sunlight. The Arc
tic ocean stretched away in silent
vastness at our feet; the sound of it
wave scarcely reached our airy look
out : away in tho north tho hugo old
tun swung low along the horizon like
a alow beat of the pendulum in the
tall clock in our grandfather's parlor
corner. Wo all stood silont looking
at our watches. When both hands
came together at twelve, midnight,
tht full, round orb hung triumphantly
above tho wave a bri dge of gold run
ning due north spangled tht waters
between us and him. There be shone
in silent majesty which knew no set

hats no word wat said. Combine,
