WISCONSIN CONF. COMMITTEE

Count over the Mercies.

COUNT the mercies which have been quietly falling in your history. Down they come, every morning and evening, as the messengers from the Father of Heaven. Have you lived these years wasting mercies, renewing them every day, and never yet realized whence they came? If you have, Heaven pity you. You have murmured under afflictions; but who heard you rejoice over blessings? Ask the sunbeam, the raindrop, the star, or the queen of the night. What is life but mercy? What is health, strength, friendship, social life? Had each the power of speech, each would say, “I am a mercy.” Perhaps you have never regarded them as such. If not, you have been a poor student of nature and revelation. What is the propriety of stopping to play with a thorn-bush, when you may just as well pluck sweet flowers, and eat pleasant fruits?—Sel.

Give the Devil His Due.

A pastor was making a call upon an old lady who made it an habitual rule never to speak ill of another, and had observed it so closely that she always justified those whom she had heard evil spoken of. Before she made her appearance in the parlor, her several children were speaking of this peculiarity of their mother, and one of them playfully added: “Mother has such a habit of speaking well of everybody, that I believe if Satan himself were the object of conversation, mother would find out some virtue or good quality even in him.” Of course this remark elicited some smiling and merriment at the originality of the idea, in the midst of which, the old lady entered the room, and on being told what had just been said, she immediately and involuntarily replied: “Well, my children, I wish we all had Satan’s industry and perseverance.”—Sel.

Senator Sumner on the Political Condition of the South.

UNHAPPILY we are not yet relieved from anxiety on account of the Rebellion. Though reconstruction is in our statute book, it is not yet established in the universal heart of the Nation, as it must be before peace can be permanently assured. There are painful reports from States lately in rebellion, showing that life is unsafe and society is disorganized. North Carolina has always been considered much less mercurial and violent than her Southern neighbor, with whom the Rebellion begun; but this slow and staid State is now disturbed by bad spirits, menacing revolution and blood. A private letter says: “I am assured, by men who know, that blood will be spilt if Congress does not interfere. The excitement of 1861 bore no comparison to this.” In certain counties the Ku-Klux-Klan so far dominates that to be a unionist is to brave death. Nor is this evil spirit confined to North Carolina. It shows itself in other States, and promises to extend. Alas! that after all the terrible sacrifices of these latter days, we should be called to this new experience.
And yet the Rebellion is said to be suppressed. This is a mistake. So long as men are in peril, whose only offense is that they love the Nation, or that their skins are not “white,” the Rebellion still exists. Force is needed; nor is this the time to remove political disabilities. Our first obligation is to those who stood by the Nation, and those others whom the Nation has rescued from bondage. These two classes must be protected at all hazards. Here is a sacred duty. And not until this is completely performed can we listen to the talk of amnesty.

One Watch Kept Right: The Power of Example

One watch, kept right, will do to try many by; but one that goes wrong, may mislead a whole neighborhood. The same is true of the examples we set to those around us.
