dancing
upon the roof of Paris, with a huge dinner-bell in his right hand, and
a smoking three-pounder beside him.

"Hooray!" shouted the Conservative Kentucky chap, blissfully standing
on one leg. "Go in! That's the style! Sic 'em! Sic 'em! Hit 'em again,
boys. Hem!" says the Conservative chap, with delirious enthusiasm;
"this here sort of thing in the enemy's camp is just the ticket for our
National Democratic Organization, of which I am the large Kentucky
branch!"

Turn away your eyes, my boy, from such scenes as these, and look with
me along that hill-side yonder, where the gentle sun casts his
tenderest beams upon the new spring grass. You see there are irregular
mounds scattered all the way up the slope,--hundreds,--hundreds!
Beneath them sleep the brave, the beautiful, the wept of the patriot
home. Their loyal blood, poured in a fervid river to the twilight ocean
of Eternity, has washed a pollution from our Flag, a blot from our
escutcheon; and, oh! that it had also borne hence upon its purifying
current that unholy, shifting beacon of political discord, which ever
lures our Ship of State toward the breakers.

Yours, reverently,

ORPHEUS C. KERR.
