to criticise his occasional facetious remarks, in which, on his account chiefly, we were so glad to hear him indulge The following extracts from our first hundred years, page 596, may illustrate the subject: The Dark in the White House.—Feb. 22, 1862.—Willie Lincoln is dead! Everybody in Washington knew Willie; and everybody was sad. Sad,—for it seemed hard for the lovely boy to be taken away so early, while the sun was just gilding the mountain up which he was pressing, and from which hing frequently asked during the war, to help friends prepare addresses to be delivered on the all-engrossing topic of the time, I sent the following hints for their use:— The immolation and redemption of the African race. Washington, Feb. 22, 1862. Nations pay dear for liberty. Civilization—the sole object of free government—crystallizes slow.

Being frequently asked during the war, to help friends prepare addresses to be delivered on the all-engrossing topic of the time, I sent the following hints for their use:— The immolation and redemption of the African race. Washington, Feb. 22, 1862. Nations pay dear for liberty. Civilization—the sole object of free government—crystallizes slow. But, once firmly established, it resists the untiring course of all-impairing Time. The true civilization, in perfection, is yet to come. The world has been filled with false civilizations; and history shows that they have not vitality enough to preserve nations from decadence. It has been just as plainly proved that where slavery existed it either destroyed civilization, or was destroyed by it. The two never could live together. China and Japan are the only two ancient Asiatic nations that have preserved their early civilization, or even their existence. Slavery never existed among them. So in Europe: Slave<
