On the 3rd of September Lincoln issued a proclamation appointing a day of thanksgiving for these great victories of Sherman and Farragut. On that day, it would seem, the tide turned in Northern politics. Some historians are content with Atlanta as the explanation of all that followed; but there are three separate events of importance that now occurred as incidents in the complicated situation.

Why it should be cruel to kill a thousand head in a day instead of two hundred on five separate days, one fails to understand. As a matter of fact, the bigger the "shoot" the less cruelty takes place, because bad shots are not likely to be present on these occasions, whilst in small "shoots" they are the rule rather than the exception.

"They cannot separate us against the boy's will or mine," he said. "Manuel!" Manuel came to his call, and the Cardinal placed one hand on his shoulder. "Child," he said softly, "they threaten to part me from you, if we stay longer here. Therefore we must leave Rome!" Manuel looked up with a bright flashing glance of tenderness. "Yes, dear friend, we must leave Rome!" he said.

How many times was that poor creature, as we may easily conjecture, assaulted for his life by the devils that were in him, yet could they not kill him, yea, though his dwelling was near the sea-side, and the devils had power to drive him too, yet could they not drive him further than the mountains that were by the sea-side; yea, they could help him often to break his chains and fetters, and could also make him as mad as a bedlam, 3 they could also prevail with him to separate from men, and cut himself with stones, but kill him they could not, drown him they could not; he was saved to be called; he was, notwithstanding all this, preserved in Christ, and called.

Ultimately the little body separates or splits up into two, each part thenceforth taking a separate existence. This, it is argued, is all done by natural causes, not by any direction or guidance or intervention of a Divine agency.

A separate shed is built outside each village, where the fighting men sleep at night, sentinels being stationed to give the alarm with blasts of the Ture on the approach of the Araras, who choose the night for their onslaughts.

Your agreement is usually for meals as well as rooms; the European plan is preferably ignored in Europe; and the table d'hote luncheon and dinner are served at small, separate tables; your breakfast is brought to your room. Being old-fashioned, myself, I am rather sorry for the small, separate tables.

Now, how long would he have been on that separate history? Then at what age could he have commenced the Annals? And how long would he have been engaged in its composition?

Don't you think you might as well come, too?" Mathilde sprang up and caught Mrs. Wayne's hand. "Oh, don't go!" she cried. "Don't take him away! You know they are trying to separate us. Oh, Mrs. Wayne, won't you take me in? Can't I stay with you while we are waiting?" At this every one focused their eyes on Mrs. Wayne.

In fine weather, one hut will contain from two to five families, in wet weather more, each family however having a separate fire. The amusements of the natives are various, but they generally have a reference to their future occupations or pursuits.
