THI PRESIDENT IN THE STREETS WITH
OUT A GUARD. —a telegram from Washing
ton says: "The time has come again
when the President of the United States
may walk the streets in safety. Yester
day President Johnson took a walk out on
Fourteenth street, wholly unattended—
without guard, policeman or anyhing else
to suggest the thought of possible) danger.
Qe took a quist stroll, unknown to all
6avu those who met him on the way and
respectfully saluted him. The good old
time of peace are returning indeed."
Early in Mr. Lincoln's administration
guards were placed around the President
whenever he ventured out into the street,
and that custom has continued, until now.
It is significant and worthy of note that
the above custom was not discontinued
until of the release of Jefferson Davis.
LIBERTY OF THE PRESS AND LIBERTY
OF SrtECH. —The military Governors of
the South, who are acting as a police in
the Southern States, should remember
that no legislataion ot Congress can abol
ish that clause in the constitution of the
United States which recognizes and guar
antees the perfect freedom of the press
and of speech, if they properly under
stand their uuties under the laws of COD
gross they can get along with the greatest
ease, and will find no delicacy or difficulty
in their positions. One editor i'just as
muct at liberty to write against the Re
conduction laws as another is to write it)
their favor. One stuiup speaker has just
as much l ight to criticise the act 9 of Con- 1
gress and lo laud the chivalry to the skies
as another has to uphold the Congressional
policy and ridicule the Southern braves.
But no State officer is entitled to use his
position to interfere with or embarrass the
operation of a United States law, nor has
auy man, office holder or private citizen a
right to incite a riot to disturb the public
peace.
Power of an Axe.
The other day I was holding a man by
the hand—a hand as firm in its outer tex
ture as leather, and his sunburnt face was
as inflexible as parchment—be was pour
ing fourth a tirade of contempt on those
who complain that get nothing to do, as an
excuse for becoming idle loafers.
Said I, "Jeff, what do you work at ?"
"Why," sed he, "I bought me an axe
three years ago, that cost me two dollars.—
That was all ihe mouey I had. I went to
chopping wood bv the cord. I have done
nothing else, and have earned more tbaD
S6OO, diank no grog, paid no doctor, and
have bought me a little farm in the lloos
ier State, and shall be married next week
to a girl who has earned S2OO since she
was eighteen. My o'd axe I shall keep in
the drawer, and buy me a new one to cut
wood with,
Alter I h'ft him I thought to myself.
"That ax and no grog." These are the
things that make a man in the world. How
small a capital that ax —how sure of suc
cess with the motto, "No grog." And then
a farm and a,wife, the best of all.
The Principal Witness' Against Surratt.
A correspondent of the New York
Tribum lately had a conversation with
Weicbman, the fellow whose testimony
hung Mrs. SurratL We take from his
narrative the following in relation to the
Canadian, who secured the arrest of Sur
ratt and wilt be the principal witness
against him :
P "In Easter, 1862, we agreed to visit an
old|school friend at Ellicott's Mills, and
from there I took Surrat to Ellangowan
to see my friend the 6chool teacher. Be
fore we started a priest asked me to deliv
er a newspaper to Mr. St. Maurie, whom
I found to be my friend's assistant, and to
whom I introduced John Surratt. He
was a French Candian, black-eyed and
black haired, aged about thirty, very fas
cinating in his manners and accomplish
ments, a linguist and adventurer. lie was
teaching for his boare and spending money
only, being entirely needy, and he amused
himself by giving concerts in the village,
where be was in love with a virtuous
and beautiful young lady. When I left
Ellangowan, St. Maurie asked me to get
him a teacher's place in Washington, aud
soon after he came to my room there, say
ing that .lie had left his place, disgusted
with its littleness, aud was without a meal,
a bed, or a penny. I got him a position
iu Gonzaga College, and when he came to
see m: once or twice 1 found him so un
principled that I wrote to the lady he ad
dressed at Ellangowan, bidding her be
ware. He would tell me in a breath that
he had fled from Canada to avoid the con
sequences of a most heartless seduction,
and he then, at the same time put his new
sweetheart's boquet under his pillow. His
(•tories of himself were that he had been a
member of the Canadian Parliament, a
Federal prisoner of State, etc., but at any
rate, be decamped from the college after
a month, leaving me to pay his board,
and enlisted for the bounty in a Delaware
regiment, dtserted, fell into Castle Thun
der as an object of general suspicion, was
released by reason of placing informer up
on his comrades, escaped by a blockade
runner to England, returned to Canada,
and hearing of the $25,006 reward for
Surratt, pursued him to Rome, enlisted
with him, and gave him up just too late
for the reward, which had been already
withdrawn,"
THE LEHIGH VALLEY HAIL ROAD.
EXCURSION TRAIN* OVER ITS WYOMING EX
TENSION TO WILXES-BAKRE*
The following article is taken from the
able Rail Road d Mining Regular, now
published by HON. THOMAS S. FERNON
in Philadelphia. Many of the eitizens in
this part of the State, know him as the ear
ly pioneer of the Rail Road just opened,
the celebration of which he gives an ac
count. He faite to mention that he was
honored and complimented, and he was
forced to forego his accustomed modesty,
and reply in a very spirited speech to the
urgent and earnest call made upon him
by those who do not forget his valued ef
forts, in this enterprise, over which the
the people of Northern Pennsylvania have
•o much cause to rejoice:
On Wednesday, May 29, an excursion
train passed over the Lehigh Vallej Rail
road, from White Haven to Wilkes-Barra.
The train left Philadelphia at 7.4 ft A. M ,
via the North Pennsylvania Railroad, for
Bethlehem, where it was joined bv a train
from New York, via the Central Railroad
of New Jersey, and whance the party pro
ceeded up the Lehigh Valley via the
Lehigh Valley Railroad to White Haven,
where the train passed on to the Wyoming
extension and across the Nescopec water
shed to Solomen's Gap in the Wyoming
Mountain, and thence descended into the
valley aud coal basin below, arriving at
Willies-Bane aboat 3 P.M.
From Solomon's Gap the spectator looks
down into the Wyoming Valley lying 1,000
teet below, the Susquehanna meandering
its plain between mountains rising and
outspreading on either side, their green
summits and ragged peaks lifted one above
another, whilst far away to the northwest
the blue crest of the imperial Allegheny
the master-mouctaiu of the Appalachian
system, is raarkt-d in bold outline against
the sky, form ng a background to a forest
of irregular mountain tops.
At your feet, and spread out before you
is a magnificent panorama of a classic vale,
covered with cultivated fields and dotted
with thriving towns the whole underlaid
with thick veins of purest anthracite, pre
senting to the eye a profusion of landscape
poetry and beauty, associated with opu
lent store of mineral fuel, available to in
dustry and art, over outletting avenues in
to surrounding markets.
Think of the three charms, wisdom,
youth and beauty, blended in one gentle
being; of health, experience and riches
united in one Christian man, and yon may
form some sort of approximate conception
of the natural loveliness and commercial
-excellence combined and centered in fresh
and fair Wyoming, with the Susquehanna
Hirer in its lap and the northern coal-field
in its arm*.
The length of the Wyoming extension,
from White Havtsn to Wilkcs-Barre, is 30
miles; distance from White Haven to Phil
lipsburg 71 miles; whole length of Lehigh
Valley Railroad, main line, from Phillipg
bug to Wilkes barre, 101 miles. Add
branch from Pcun Ilaven to Honeybrook.
16 61.100 miles, and Lehigh and Lebigh
and Mahanoy branch from Black Creek
junction to Mt Carmcl, 40 miles, and the
total of trunk and branch road is 157 61-
100 miles. About one half, or 80 miles
of the company's road, is doable track , and
there is also in use about 70 miles of siding.
With a main road built from the State
line at l'hiilipsburg to Wilkes-Barre in
the Wyoming coal-field, a branch road
in use into the Beaver Meadow coal re
gion, with connection penetrating into the
Hazelton and Black Creek coal basin*, and
a branch road into the Mananoy coal field,
the Lehigh Valley Railroad, it is conceded,
is a work of rank, profit, present conse
quence and future promise.
At the opening banquet nt the Wyo
ming Valley House, in Wilkes Barre. on
Wednesday evening, at which there were
about three hundred guests, comprising
citizens of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
New York, this fact was appreciated by
the speakers, and by the guests, in posi
tive remarks and tumultuous applause.
The Hon. George W. Woodward pre
sided at the table; and among those who
made speeches were Judge Woodward,
Wm. TV. Longstrect, President of the Le
high Valley Company; John
Taylor Johnston, President of the Central
Railroad Company of New Jersey ; Wm.
11. Gatzner, President of the Camden and
Amboy Railroad Company ; Hon. Ilen
drick B. Wright; Hon. John N. Conyng
ham ; Hon. Asa Packer, Stanley Wood
ward; David Thomas; Judge Maxwell;
V. E.Piollet; Gen. W. W. H.Davis; I.
W. Scudder (of the Mt. Morris Canal Com
pany ;) H. Ml Hoyt; Sol, Roberts; Dr.
Brisbin ; Allen Craig.
Judge Packer was the recipient of com
plimentary remarks from several of the
speakers, in which the guests gave unmis
takable signs of hearty concurrence.
And among the incidents related during
the evening, Judge Woodward stated that,
in February last, in the Merchants' Hotel,
Robert H. Sayre, the efficient and progres
sive Chief Engineer and General Superin
tendant of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, told
him that he would run a train over the
Wyoming extension, into Wilkes-Barre, on
the 19th of May, and he did it, as all the
guests could testify! And when the unus
ually wet character of the spring is consid
ered, with the loss of time and other draw
backs incident thereto, this was indeed an
extraordinary realization of a prediction
aud a promise.
Under a corporation whose shares they
own, the Lehigh Valiey Railroad Company
are building a road np the Susquehanna
river valley to the New York State line,
distance 103 miles.—And within the pres
ent year this State line extension will be
openedffrom Barclay coal road at Towanda
to the Erie Railroad at Waverly, and also
from Wilkes Barre to Tunkhanaock.
Frotn the State line at Phillipsbnrg to
the State line at Wavefly, 204 miles, the
Lehigh Valley Company will occapy a
river-tide ronte the entire distance, except
the mountain division between white Ha
▼ed and wilkes-Barre. And, knowing and
appieciating what the Lehigh Valley llail
road has already accomplished in the Le
high Valley for its investors aud indwellers,
the people of Wilkesßarre and the Wyom
ing vallsy were as earnest as they were de
monstrative in their manifestations of good
feeling for the Lehigh Valley Railroad, at
the banquet on Wednesday night, in their
elegant and well conducted Wyoming Val
ley Hotel.
THK HISTORY OF THE SECRET SERVICE
during tho Rebellion. By General L.
• C. Baker, late Provost Marshal and
Chief Detective of the War Depart
ment. Jones Biothers & Co., Phila
delphia, Pa, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Da
venport, lowa.
These revelations of the Chief of the
National Detective Police will give a key
to many seeming anomalies in the history
of the iate War. Its previous historians
have narrated that of which we all know a
great deal. But General Baker has writ
ten a full accoant of important events,
hitherto sedulously veiled from the knowl
edge of the public. This narration is a
startling one, but as true as it is strange,
for the General has in his five years of of
ficial experience learned tbe necessity of
Touchers, and gives them profusely when
ever and wherever they are needed. The
Secret Service system of the United States
War Department during tbe Rebellion was
a well organized and powerful one. Gen
eral Baker was in a great measure its or
ganizer, and for five years its head and
hand. What he saw, did an<j learned,
lorms the ground work of this absorbing
and valuable wors ; ho stood at the primal
springs of power, aud does not spare in
the least peccadilloes of the magnates of
the Nation. His own personal adventures
were always hazardous, and often perilous
in the extreme; and would of themselves
form an interesting book. The late Chief
does not however, indulge in egotism ; tor
good reasons he determined to enlighten
the country on the 6ubj ct of the Secret
Service, and this task he has accomplished
faithfully and well.

A SAD HISTORY.
A day or two since a coroner's jury-held
an inquest in the city of Louisville upon
the body of an abandoned woman named
Kate Carrigan, who was strangled to death
by falling from a fence, upon which a por
tion of ber wearing apparal had caught.
The wretched wonran was in a state of
beastly intoxication at the time, otherwise
she could have disengaged her garments
and suffered no harm whatever,
A few months ago this woman was a
frequent delinquent at the recorder's court
in this city, being arrested almost weekly
in some of the low dens of " Smoky Row "
where, under the influence of liquor, she
had become reckless and nprorious. She
had once been a beautiful girl, and the lin
eaments of a most fascinating lovlir.ess
were never effaced front her,countenanc.\
although 6he suk repeatedly ito depths of
drunkenness and dissipation seldom second
ed by fellow sisters, and among whom she
ranked lowest of the low.
Amidst all the excesses to which the poor
girl was addicted, her soft bine eyes Dever
lost their lovliness, and we remember more
than once to have seen unfeeling men look
upon her with saddened faces, at thoughts
of what she once was, as they beheld her
pale an J wretched at the bar of the police
court.
Kate Carrigan was once an accomplished
and respected young lady. We recall a
scrap or two of the history of this poor fe
male, which reads a sad lesson. She was
the only daughter of wealthy parents, a Vir
ginian by birth, and at the age of fourteen
was left fatherless. Two years later she
was seduced by some fiend in hnman
shape, and in a few weeks after, a
fit of remorse, which could not have been
far from actual insanity abandoned a luxu
rious home aud plunged into the wildest
vortex of dissipation. She wandered from
city to city, sinking lower, aud about a year
after the close of the war came to Nash
ville From this point her heart-broken
mother heard the first news of her erring
daughter, and sent an uncle to bring borne
tbe lost child. He was unsuccesstul, is all
that we know. The poor girl afterwards
went to Louisville, and the end we have
already seen.
Oh cursed and broken life, sad and ineq
plicable! Oh blackened and filth begrimmed
spirit! a wail of biter anguish runs through
the annals of thy short earth history. A bit
of charnal house clay in a rough'pine coffin,
above which is heaped the rude earth of a
panper,s grave, is all that remains to tell
of thy career in his dark, cruel world.
A year and a half ago the mother, heart
broken and despairing, lived isolated and
alone, sorrowing with an uuconsolable sor
row over the angel which had once blessed
the desolate household. We know not if
she survives the daughter.- Nashville Press
and Times.
A Virginia paper referring to Wil
son's stumping tour through the South,
says : "He will probably be here in a day
or two, and we hop* that he will tell the
brethren what he told us in February 1861
while seated upon a sofa in the United
States Senate, to wit : That "if no com
mon ground of compromise can be found,l
am in favor of a peaceable separation of
the sections, and against war under any
cicumstatces."
The Atlantic cable of 1860 was damaged
by an iceberg at Heart's Content, about
the Bth ult, and the signals through it have
ceased. The cable of 1865 is in thorough
working order, and the injury to the other
is to be promptly repaired.

John Randolph Amoaff the Boy*,
The correspondent of the Central Fret
byterian furnishes some reminiscences of
his school days more than fifty years ago.
The celebratod John Randolph, then at
at the zenith of bis power as a leading
member of Congress, bad three wards
(nephews) at tbe school (that of Rev. Dru
ry Lacy, Prince Every County, Virginia,)
at which bo used to be a frequent visitor.
The writer says:
"It was Mr. Lacy's custom to hear his
boys recite their Latin and Greek grammar
lessons before breakfast, and I have knwon
Mr. Randolph more than once to come
from Bizarre, two miles, and enter tbe
school house by saa up. At nine o'clock
the school was formally opened, when all
the boys read verses aloud in the Bible,
until the chapter or portion was finished.
Mr. Randolph seemed always pleased
with the exercise, read his verse in turn,
aud with Mr. Lacy sometimes would ask
questions. On one occssion, while read
ing one of tbe books of tbe Pentateuch, he
stopped a lad with the question :
"Tom Miller, can you tell me who was
Moses' father?"
"Jethro, sir," was the prompt answer.
"Why, you little dog, Jethro was his fa
ther-in-law."
"Then putting the question to four or
five others by name, not one of whom
could answer, he berated them soundly
for their carelessness and inattention in
reading, saying.
"When you were reading last week,
William Cook read the verse containing
the name of Moses' father, and have you
all forgotten it already ?"
Just then a young man caught tbe name,
and unable to repeat the verse of the Bi
ble, repeated a part of a line from Milton
—"The potent rod of Amram's son, Itc.
"Ah," said Mr, Randolph, "that is the
wav you learn your -Bible—get it out of
other books —what little you know of it'—
and, with an exceedingly solemn manner
and tone, added ; "and so it is with us ail
—and a terrible proof of our depravity it
is, that we relish and remember anything
bettor than tbe book.
"The very utterance, simple ns it was,
filled every one with awe, and made bim
feel guilty, while at the same time it im
parted a reverence for the Bible which was
never felt before, tnd which from one mind
at least, will never be effaced. Mr. Ran
dolph was so pleased, however, with the
young man who quoted from his favorite
author, that in a short time—as soon, per
haps, as he could get it from Richmond—
he presented him with a beautiful copy of
Milton's Paradise Lost, with a suitable in
scription in his own elegant llandwnting."
SPEECH OF FENIAN BURKE.
The following is an extract from the
speech of Fenian Burke after his conviction:
"It is not my desire now my Lords to give
utterance to one word agaiost the verdict
which has been pronounced upon me. But
fully conscious that I can go into my grave
with a name unsullied, I can only say this,
that these parties, actuated by a desire ei
ther for their own aggrandizement, or to
save their paltry, miserable lives, have pan
dered to the appetite, if I may so speak,
of justice, and rav life shall pay the forfeit.
Fully convinced and satisfied of the right
eousness of my every act, in connection
with the late revolutionary movement in
Ireland, I have"\lone nothing that would
bring a blush to mantle my brow. My
conduct and career here, and in America,
if yon like, as a soldier, arc before you, and
even in this, my honr of trial, I feel a con
sciousness of having lived as an honest man,
and I will die believing that I have given
my life to give freedom and liberty to the
land of my birth. I have done only that
which every Irishman and every man whose
soul throbs with the feeling of liberty should
do I seek not the death of a martyr, but
if it is the will of Almighty and Omnipo
tent God that my devotion for the land of
my birth should be tested at the scaffold, I
am an Irishman by birth, an American by
adoption, by nature a lover of freedom, and
an enemy to the power that holds my na
tive land in bonds of tyranny. It has so
often been admitted that the oppressed
have the right to throw off the yoke of op
pression, even by English statesmen, that
1 deem it unnecessary to advert to the* fact
here. Ireland's children are not, never were,
and never will be willing or submissive
slaves, and so long as England's flag covers
one inch of Irish soil, just so long will they
believe it to be a divine right to power and
erect in its stead the God-like structure of
•elf-government,"
FELT IIAPPY.—A clergyman in Connec
ticut, who is being blessed with a revival of
religion in his church, went one evening
last week to attend a neighborhood prayer
meeting. The house was full, and all
present seemed deeply interested in the ex
ercises. At the close of tbe meeting he in
vited all those who desired to hold a per
sonal conversation with him, as to the state
of their feelings, to remain. Quite a num
ber did 80, and among them a hardy son of
toil, who we will call Mr. B. The good
minister in his round of conversation with
each one. came to him ; and upon inquir
ing the state of his feelings, received the
reply that he 44 felt happy." Ah, indeed,"
said the preacher," lam rejoiced to hear
you say so; may I inquire how long you
have enjoyed this happy frame of mind ? 44
Perhaps, mostly since last Monday night,"
said Mr- B. 44 Well, my friend," said the
clergyman, 44 to what particular event, or
circumstance, or occasion do you traet this
bappv change in your feelings ? ,Well,
Mr. Minister," replied Mr. B. 44 I reckon
perhaps, the news of the election of Mr.
English for Governor of the State of Con
necticut, was about the spot to start from."
The minister bit his lip and passed on to
the next.
Kelley is a valiant BOUI. Although he
boasted of having fifteen regiments at his
back and professed to have the whole army
of the Republic at his disposal, he declined
to reside at Mobile, out retired from the
scene of action in a government gunboat

paper, George Peabody once sawed wood
to pay for a single night's lodging in Con

PRESB YT tfci AN Rirsidw.—The • two
General Assemblies of tbe Presbyterian
Church, the Old School at Cincinnati, and
tbe New School at Rochester, profoundly
occupied by the report of the joint commit
tees on the re nnioa of the two bodies, after
a separation of thirty years, The two bod
ies, having tbe same name, adopting tbe
same constitution, adhering to the same
confession of faith, and claiming tbe same
corporate rights, propose to reunite and
become one, on the basis of their common
standards:
"The confession of faith shall continue
to be sincerely received and adopted as
'containing the system of doctrines taught
in the Holy Scriptures,' and its fair histori
cal sense as it is accepted by the bodies, as
it is accepted by tbe two bodies ; in oppo
sition to Antinoraianism and Fatalism on
tbe one band, and the Arminianism and
Pelagianism on the other, shall be regard
ed as the sense in which itis received and
adopted ; and the government and disci
pline of the Presbyterian Church in the
United States shall continue to be approv
ed as containing the principles and rules of
onr policy,? --v* -
All ministers and churches connected
with either body shall be received, the
the churches "not thoroughly Presbyteri
an" to be expected to perfect their organ
ization, and no more such to be permitted.
Boundaries of synods and presbyteries to
be readjusted by tbe united Assembly.—
All boards and corporate rights to be con
solidated, including home and foreign mis*
sions, and other religious enterprises, so as
to represent impartially the two bodies.—
The reunion to be valid when ratified by
three fourths of tbe presbyteries of both
branches ; and, if so improved, to be ad
justed by the two General Assemblies of
of 1868,.
Hon. Daniel Haines, and the Hon, Hen
r\ W. Green, LL D., of Ntw Jersy ;
Daniel Lord, Lr. D.,andTheodore D wight
LL. D, of New York; and Hon. William
Strong and Hon. George Tharswood.LL. D
of Pennsylvania, to be appointed by the
General Assemblies a committee to investi
gate all question of property and of vested
right as they may stand related to the mat
tor of reunion ; and this committee shall
report to the joint committee as early as
January 1868.— Independent, May 2-3.
fW The "World" thinks Mr. Davis
may congratulate himself that two years'
imprisonment without a trial is all that
the political cowardice of the administra
tion, and the courts has cost him, and has
no doubt that had he been tried two years
ago by a military commission, like poor
Mrs. Surratt, aud hurried into "his grave,
the public opinion of that excited period
would have sanctioned the proceedings.—
Tho editor adds:
"His crime has been rendered neither
greather nor less by the lapse of time.—
The government possessed all the evidence
against him on the day of his attest that
it has to day; for the things on which the
charge of treason is based were not done in
a corner. The backing down of the gov
ernment, so far as it has yet backed down,
has been in a sneaking, discreditable way.
The uniform method of proceeding has been
to apologize by a lesser scandal|for not com
mitting a greater one. The government
did not wish to try Mr. Davis by a milita
ry commission, so they loaded him with
irons and tormented him with the perpetu
al presence of sentinels. When the public
paswions had somewhat called, they felt
that tlicy could not meet the public de
mand for Mr. Davis' condemnation, so
they sought to appease it by illegal deten
tion without a trial. When it had been
secretly decided that he was to be released
on bail at this term of the Court, they af
fected a hesitation and certainty which they
did not feel and Judge Underwood sought
to propitiate the Radicals in advance by
the abusive tirade which he delivered at
the opening of the Court as a charge,—
They durst not enter a nolle prosequi ; So
they pretend the trial is to come off in No
vember. They feared the odious of re
leasing him on his own recognizance, so
they required unnecessary bail with su
perfluous precauiions respecting the resi
dence of the bondsmen. It is supposed
that the feeling which these cowardly ma
noeuvres are designed to propitiate, will
gradually wear out, when nothing will be
beard of the pretended trial of Jefferson
Davis."
JEFFERSON'S TEN RULES OF LIFE. —The
following rules for practical life were given
by Mr. Jefferson, in a letter of advice to
his namesake, Thomas Jeffersou Smith in
1825.
1. Never put off till to morrow what
you can do to-day.
■u 2. Never trouble others with what you
can do yourself.
3. Never spend your money before you
have it.
Never buy what yofl do not want be
cause it is cheap.
5, Pride costs us more than hunger,thirst
and cold.
6. We never repent of having eaten too
little.
7. Nothing is troublesome that we do
willingly.
8. How much pain have those evils costs
us which never happened.
9. Take things always by their smooth
handle.
10. When angry count ten before you
speak ; if very angry count one hundred.
Radical papers console themselves
over their defeat in Kentucky by calling it
a "rebel victory." The men elected to
CoDgress from Kentucky, with one excep
tion, were never in the military service,and
that exception is Major Adams, who serv
ed in the Federal army.
Some deaf and dumb children in
Jacksonville, Illinois, weresked the mean
ing of eternity. One wrote on his slate,
"It is the lifetime of the Almighty," and
another only made a circle.
