Extract froni a, Samoa by the Rev.
Vl'lars, of the 31. E. Cliurcu, De
livered, at Montlcello, 111., from
tbe Text, XMbteount-tts Ex
nltetli a Nation"
There Is one question that should bo
the essence of every muti'a creed, of
every man's political platform, and
thatia: Is it right? JIa my creed
right? Is my plutforui right?
THE CONDITION OF OUR COUNTKY
at this time is thutof great peril. And
for our future admonition and safety
it is well for us to inquire: How came
it i?i thi8perilfZ.lt is clearly and ful
ly auswerahlo in the fableof him who
took compassion on the dyini; viper
by taking it in his bo-som and warm
injr it to life'again, and, when thus re
stored, shows its ingratitude hy sting
ing its benefactor. This is the em
bodiment of the whole history of our
present trouble. With a mistaken
charily for a bad.oause, a viper that
thrust Its sting at the life blood of our
nation, we, when the viper "whs dy
ing, warmed it Into life again and
found it a viper still.
God requires repentance before par
don ; we required none. God re
quires abandonment of sin; we re
quired none. God requires conform
ity to his government; we adminis
tered the oath as if the oath was the
conformity, when every act was in J
!'" nwu Lu.ii uitiu. uuu re
quires a recantation of sin, an open
avowal of its abandonment; we re
ceived tbe traitor with no disavowal
of his treaaoo and with the positive
assertion that ho still was an enemy
to his government and a friend to all
the inhumanities that were practiced
In the days of slavery. Not a single
act from that party of men is there
upon record of any disavowal of treas
on. The men whose shot and phell
used to ring around our ears when we
were fighting"them as the common
enemy of the country, are now in
Congress, and there their voices are
heard hotly oontesting for that treas
ou In the interest which they rebel
led ; and we are to blame for it, In ex
orcising a reach of charity unparal
leled In God himself in his dealiug
toward man, and unparalleled In thp
hlatory of good government. We
shall profit by the error.
A STRIKING FEATURE
in the ohaxacter of those who are cry
ing loudly against the government
and administration, is the hypocrisy
with whioh they cover up their deed
of error. We mean that all they do
is done In strict accordance with the
principle of -Satan reproving sin."
We ohallengo a single charge by them
against the men who saved this na
tion, of which they are not guilty
themselves. They are more guilty.
In a ten-fold degree, thau those
against whom they make the charge.
The fact Is, the men who are now
clamoring for the.thruat of the nation
to throttle it to death, are guilty of
all, and those brave men who bared
their bosoms to death, yet still live to
speak as well as fight for their coun
try's life, are guilty of but one crime,
and that a faithful attempt to subdue
treason and save the Union.
THEY II,E D "NOT GUIIVTY,"
and our verdict and the verdict of the
oivilizeil world Is, "not guilty " Tuke
the charge of military usurpation.
Who firt usurped this .power? Did
not traitor, in the interest of treas
on ? Men were drilled, armed, ami
equiped in defense of treason before
there was a call for the uatiou to take
up arms in self defense. Was not
such treasou a usurpation? -Yet men
wrote from the South that there wim
no armed resistance to the govern-
iucuv,jiisi,asraen are writing now;
but a four years' strife, that brought
Into requisition the utmost strength
of the nation, gave the falsehood to
suoh reports. Was not that army of
traitors a usurpation? When that
good and great mau, Abraham Lin
coln, called for 75,000 troops to put
down a Southern insurrection, it wn
met by a laugh from an armed horde
that bid defiance to that insignifieant
number. Do you not oall that horde
a usurpation? In the recent fray in
New Orleans, who was the first to
usurp the military? Was it not the
mob? And when law would call to
Us assistance the same power aud
justly, too did not that mob con
demn in others what it olaimed for a
virtue in itself? Verily, this is "Sa
tan reproving sin."
we have'the example
of a body of men calling on the Uni
ted States troops to suppress a legally
elected body of men. ami rpt th
Loops with cheers, bub iwher the
w
same power Is used to suppress i evo
lution aud uphold law, a great cry is
heard of usurpation. My opinion is
thut tho world has never witnessed ub
great a specimen of downright hy
pocrisy as was enacted then, and is
being enae'ed now, by traitors to ov
erthrow the best government tho sun
ever shone upon.
We BDoke of the moral bearinos of
the principles involved. Let me say
that the party, If it may be oulled
such, that is now clamoring for pow
er has no regard lor moral law. Ev
erything done is morally wrong and
in the iuteret of wrong. Tako the
present disgraceful action of those
men in the- Legialature of our own
Slate. What were their iirat attempt?
To introduce a bill for the repeal of
the aot creating normal schools. To
repeal an act giving colored children
the privileges of free schools. To ap
point a oommittee that would take
Into consideration the repeal of our
wholesome fcemperanoo law. Aim
thU la the policy of tho men who are
to hold, or want to hold, in their
hands the reins of this govorumont!
And what a trinity on whioh they
base their creed,
IGNORANCE, ".NIGGER," WHISKY.

tell you wo have oauso of alarm ; and
if, in my position, I oan perform the
two-fold duty of aervlug God aud my
country, I would lift my voloo with
ray utmost strengthen sounding the
alarm all over the laud.
I was disposed to favor the Reform
ers, Independents or 'Farmers'
Movement," or
WHATEVER IT MAY BE CALLED.
I thought them to be honest, though
clumsy in their movements. And I
thought, as thousands of others did
that there waa the place to inter our
political griefs aud find a balm for ev
ery political wound, a cordial for ev
ery political fear.
I 6ay I know tho ""farmer, and J
think 1 can suy 1 know tiu oonvio
tions of right. To-day. the farmer
of this country are, as a rule, the best
informed men of the country on the
great moral questions at Issue. Hi
toil of the day ended, he takes hi
book and paper, and he Is skilled ir.
the knowledge of the political and
religious principles at stake. No pol
icy warps his judgment; he looks at
every question and a-iks, 'Is it right?'
The farmer's boys and girls, all over
thiB country, are growing up with the
moral conviction that slavery is
wrong, that intemperance is wrong,
that ignorance is wrong, and with
that conviction is the next important
one as a resultant. That the party
th.tt legislates in the interest of op-pre-inn,
iuti'inpernnce, and ignor
ance Is guilty of the greatest wrong.
This lsb"iu't oonvlctlon-where the
people have the light of 'inspired truth
as a basis of faith and practice.
BELIEVING THAT THIS CONVICTION
would underlie and mold the moral
character of all their actions in this
movement, I deemed it a safe invest
ment to take stock in it. I did so. I
was sincere aud honest In It. I ex
peoted to vote for their Congressional
candidate, though I had never seen
him. When J moved to your town it
was my privilege to attend a meeting
where he was the speaker, und I sin
cerely looked for such utterances as
would confirm my faith and assure
my confidence that It was well fouud
ed and confirm me in my convictions
that the honest, time-honored farm
ers of this country would have one
strong advocate of those moral con
victions that I believe still dwell in
the minds of nine-tenths of the fann
ers of the country. I was mistaken.
It had been asserted, and it was not
there denied that a combination hail
been formed with that party that had
most openly avowed itself In tho in
terest of wrong. Honest farmer can
didates had shaken hands with the
party of intemperance. Then, In
"rising to explain his" hi position on
"civil rights." I saw that the candi
date had shaken hands with the old
slavery party, aud the recent attempt
at Springlieid shows that he shook
hands with the party of ignorance. I
was at fir.-t grieved, at last disgusted
The men wiio could get office in no
other way. u ho imposed themselves
upon the farmers, anil through their
votes now sit in our Legislature, ena
bled, by shaking hands, with a treas
nimble element in our Legislature, to
pass resolutions of centre that wil.
be a stinging di-grrce to the Slate a-
long as it bus a history, aud enabled
this body of men to strike the fir.st
blow at our educational system, the
first blow at ourexcellent temperanre
law, and the first blow in favor of re
enslavement of the race that by the
hlenning of heaven have been liberat
ed as God deigned, aud the firM blow
that presumed to blot out the execu
tive head of the nation and institute
instead a government based upon aud
patterned after pagan Rome! This
is progress with a vengeance, wheu
we are told that all this nation wants
is free whisky and beer, a ruin of
schools, a reign of ignorance, re-en-
xluvemeut of the colored man aud a
government based on heatheuism.
-Jr t
After I had heard the speech of the
mau I hud hoped to lie the strong ad
vocate of all that is right, I wa
thankful that I heard it just before
election day. I was soundly convert
ed back again to my old political
faith, and I say now, what I believe
to be tho honest conviction of uiue-
tenths of tbe people of this country
farmers, merchants, mechauics, doc
tors, lawyers, aud all that, with all
its imperfections aud shortcomings,
wliica are not to be compared with
the downright criminality of the oth
er party, the party and the element of
power that saved this Union from dis
memberment at the hand of treasou
is the one, and only oue, to which we
can possibly look to save It still, and
the only one that will be the only
friend of moral reform. I will trust Lneed
tuts statement to me mgs
HONEST CONVICTION OF TH E PEOPLE.
From this on I will expect Ies im
perfection In It. and greater endeav
ors to preserve unsullied the rights,
life, peace, prosperity and morality of
the natlou. We can trunt It. Wo
have trusted it. It has fulfilled its
pledges and the wishes of the people,
and will do It again.
To those who fell In the error that I
did, I must appeal. Think as I have
thought. Look at this as I have. Let
it strike you as it struck me, that the
element into whoso hands you have
fallen, and to whose Interests you did
not at first design to work, that ele
ment never known to rectify a wrong,
gives no assurance that it will rectify
yours. That body of men who never
repented of a sin, of slavery, of in
temperance, of ignorance, aud of
treat-on. but threatens to repeat them,
is not the element to lead you in the
paths of righteousness or peace.
Perhaps the most perfect form of se
rene contentment known upon the
planet is that developed by theTodas,
a people who inhabit the plateau of
the Nilghlri Hills. They live in
small communities of from twenty to
thirty persons. Their life is purely
pastoral, and their sole dependence is
u ppnthe. buffalo. They do not prao
tice:agrldiltueat all, simply cultivate
thelrries'whlch. are held to besa
ored, aud keep the buffalo and cat as
tame animals. They neither fight
with their neighbors nor among
themselves. Two men'Iu every vill
age do the dairy work ; the rest noth
ing. Having no politics to diecuss,
tho elder "toads", sit on a rail fence
under a tree all day and brood; the
young brandies probably stand on
their heuds, or follow after the other
toadies. They are a fine-looking race
and having more m -n than women,
the creed of Briglinm Young is rever
sed, and oue woman has many husbands.
A Former writing from Southern Il
linois to the St. Louis Globe, 9ays:
The farmers have it very strongly
impressed upon them just now that
Jtraw is good for something more
than to make uusightly piles, to rot
in tho course of years, In the fields
whore it grew. Cattle and horses
have eaten it (if they could get it)
this winter, and have done remarka
bly well on It. A fanner of more than
ordinary Intelligence and enterprise,
told me he salted his straw as he
stacked it, and his stock had eaten It
greedily. It has enabled him to save
his hay (very short crop) for Use In
the spring, aud he thinks the teach
ings of necessity in this one item, in
years to come, will bring back to him
all he has lost in the last year.
The Kansas Farmer gives the ex
perience of a good farmer who hail
tried feeding hogs on wheat as well as
corn. He said when wheat was cheap
he found it profitable to feed his hogs
ou it. He took 100 hogs and put fifty
in 'pens and fed corn, and fifty and
fed wheat, with the following result.
The fifty with corn made eleven
pounds per bushel, the fifty with
wheat made seventeeu pounds of good
solid pork per bushel of wheat. The
wheat was ground like meal, boiling
water poured over It, and chen let
stand forty-two hours.

Boys, wake up ! Don't sit dreaming as though the

It will make you filthy, create an appetite for liquor,
and make you old and nervous.
Wake up ! Step out boldly into new paths that

may not be like Ned, who uses oaths ; or Fred, who
plays cards j or Tom, who says his parents don't know
anything.
Do something ! Shovel coal, run of errands, or,
indeed, anything that's right, rather than lounge on
hotel steps, or hang around saloons. If you would
rather tell a little falsehood, or smoke, or drink, than
bee seen in plain clothes and coarse boots, and at work,

CHAPTER I.
Pie-pen Peter," as the boys called him, was the
son of a worthless man, who kept him at home from
school to help in earning the living of himself and
wife. But the boy had a noble spirit, which neither
poverty and hard work at home, nor scorn abroad could
quench. His ambition was to be a carpenter when he
-rew to be a man, and he was always making bread
boards for the neighbors, and bird-houses for the boys.
A man for whom Peter sometimes worked, once
promised him a pig if he could make a pen to hold it.
Peter was only twelve years old then, but with the
rubbish lying about his poor home, he made a cottage
with a mock window and'a real door, with board chim
neys, and" a weather-cock on it, for the new little pig.
It was as pretty as a toy !
This pen made such a stir in the village that Peter
was asked by several of the boys to help in making
the like for them, and little pigs in clean white cotta
ges bacame the golden dreams of the little fellows of
that town, and the inventor was dignified with the
name of "Pig-pen Peter."
One night, when Peter was about fourteen years
old, the stove pipe in black Peggy's little hut became
red hot, and set the hut on fire. The poor old crea
ture had barely kept out of the poor house by hard
work for three years ; and now there was no other
place for her to go to, poor soul !
After the house was burned the boys found her sit
ting on a great stone near by the ruins, weeping bit
terly. -
"I wish I could go down into the graveand be" 'long
of my own folks when I was a mind ter ! My" house
is all gone, and my feather bed, and my patch-work
quilt, and my new cap, and my cups and saucers, and
my looking-glass, and my cheers and table, and and
all my elegant things, and I'm lef poor in my old age.
What shall I do ? What shall I do ?"
The bovs tried to comfort her, and more than one
of them did what his father had forgotten to do asked
her to go home and sleep at his house that night.
But sleep was the last thing Peggy thought of then ;
and there she sat rocking herself to and fro, and talk
ing, and weeping, for dread of the poor-house had long
been her greatest trial.
"Peggy," said one of the boys, "if I were a man,
I'd build you a house, and you shouldn't go to the poor
house while I lived."
"I wish you was a man, then," cried Peggy. "When
I has troubles, common times, I can pray ; but 'taint
no use now. If I has rheumatiz, I prays do Lor', and
He drives it off; and if I's hungry, I prays, and He
sends me a day's wasbin'. But my house is burnt up,
and can't be made up out of the ashes no vay !"
"I don't believe but I can make a house almost as
good as Peggy's," said Peter Dale.
"Could you plant it strong, Peter, so 'twouldn't blow
over with Peggy in it ?" asked one of the boys.
"I could try, and I will try if jou'll go and help me
get things old boards, and windows, and nails ; and
you can help me, too."
And such a flutter as there was among the boys of
that town ! Some of them were so enthusiastic in the
work that they were caught slipping off boards from
the fences, and windows from their hen-houses. But
the parents were about as much interested as the boys,
and there was no necessity of their taking things off"
slily for the work.
As there was some doubt aboufPetcr's ability to la
the foundation, a carpenter of the place told the boys
to dig a cellar and wall it in, and that he would show
them how to lay the beams. All this they did with
Peter as their "boss ;" for the carpenter said no man
ought to give any help there except by advice ; that it
ought to be a bov's house.
Well, the foundation was laid, and the walls began
to rise. Peggy, who had found shelter near by, spent
most of her time on the big rock directing; the work
thus : "Bovs. look mifrhtv sharo dat de floors is strono-.
