Com. S. WALKER, Mayor. The Confederate Preacher. It is told that in 1862, a country preacher somewhere in central Mis souri was notified by the boys in blue that he must cease his treasonable utterances in the pulpit or be arrest ed. The preacher demanded a bill of particulars. He was told in an ab rupt way that he must pray for the President, and, to the astonishment of the soldiers, he promptly declared his willingness to comply with the order. On the following Sunday morning his church was crowded with home guards, soldiers, and Con federate sympathizers, each filled with half-concealed anxiety for the day’s results. It was a hot day in June. In the amen corner sat the officers of the military. In the opposite corner sat the deacons of the congregation. The white-haired preacher was hid den from view beh'nd the pulpit long- ' er than usual that morning, but at last the services begun and a breath less hush fell upon the assemblage as it solemnly knelt for the Jprayer on j which the* fate of the congregation ! was hanging. O Lord,” said the preacher, break ing the painful silence which had fol lowed his introductory of thanks. | /Bless this waiting congregation. Bless Thy servant who will address them this day, and may his words be . fruitful to Thy kingdom. O Lord, in ! a special manner we pray Thy richest blessings upon the President!” “Amen!” said the kneeling militia officers, nudging each other violently, while great drops of perspiration stood upon the foreheads of the dea cons. There was a brief and awful pause. “Lord, shouted the preacher fami- larly, with sudden animation, “Thou knowest whom I mean. I mean Jef ferson Davis!” Brick! Brick!
