Such unfilial and irreverent treatment from the Old Gentleman's pet may well wring from his agonized bosom the exclamation: " How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child!" Possibly, however, Sherman meant no discourtesy to his official superior. It may be that he does not believe in a Devil, any more than a Divine Providence, about which he is said to have expressed himself at Atlanta in blasphemous contempt. The New England race has become, of late, equally incredulous of Heaven and Hell. The appearance of Jeff. Davis supplies a void place in their theology.
