How far this creed was compatible with so rabid an advocacy of the Southern cause, how far it was possible for genuine abominators of slavery to continue unfaltering their Southern palinodes and Northern anathemas, after such acts on the part of the South as the refusal to include colored troops among exchangeable prisoners of war, and the massacre at Fort Pillow, and such acts on the part of the North as the Emancipation Proclamation, and the introduction of the Constitutional Amendment for abolition, these are questions which appear deserving of an answer; yet one may be quite prepared to find that the spirit of party, which made such an anomaly possible, is blind to the fact of its being anomalous, and has an answer pat.
They can shut their eyes to what is evil, or treat great abuses as excusable trifles; while they magnify what is good beyond all bounds. And when they get excited or vexed they can be as unjust towards the reformer, as the most rabid reformer can be towards them or their pet institutions. And there are few things fiercer than the fire of bigotry, even in minds not destitute of piety.

"And what right has she to invite you, I'd like to know?" "She has every right, for to her I owe my existence." "What rabid nonsense!" exclaimed the old gentleman. "People don't owe their existence to the silly creatures they fall in love with." "I assure you I am correct, sir."
If it were of sufficient substance long to retain the heat, it would make a large and fearful chasm, and probably interfere with the future usefulness of the animal.

He bit several horses before he could be destroyed.
I cannot resign my duties here for the sake of living dependent on a suitable allowance. 'Ah! Jem! Jem! Oliver little knew the damage his neglect did you. 'What damage? 'The fostering an ugly little imp of independence. 'Aye! you grandees have naturally a distaste for independence, and make common cause against it. 'Especially when in a rabid state. Take care, Jem.
One may trace it also, with amused pain, in his correspondence with Paulding, honest, pathetic Paulding, a rabid miso-Briton who burned to write something truly American, and couldn't; whom Drake laughingly hails as "The bard of the backwoods, The poet of cabbages, log-huts, and gin."
As to the short time of incubation, of which so much is made, we have no right to decide beforehand whether it shall be long or short, in the cases we are considering. A dissection wound may produce symptoms of poisoning in six hours; the bite of a rabid animal may take as many months. After the student has read the case in Dr.

I paid the boy at the telegraph office five dollars not to talk about the matter to a human soul, and threatened to have him dismissed if he did, so the bomb-shell was kept in until this afternoon.
