"Father, I cannot believe that there will be any trouble," burst out Itoyd. "Not that exactly, for I suppose there will be trouble, but I do not believe It will come to open war. Why should It?

Peyton had been entirely honest in his conversation with his father. Ilr had not made up his mind, and in the intervening days lie tried hard to do so. Making up tits mind finally and definitely upon any subject except Mary Annan hail been rather a difii:ult task to him heretofore. There were long discussions between father and son concerning the rights mil wrongs of the situation. Colonel Peyton was the extremes! type of southern man. lie believed that slavery was a divine institution warranted ?y P.lWMcai teaching and sanctioned illkc by morality and expediency. Hooking upon the negroes as an inferior ace, lie would bear of 110 condemna;ion of the system by which they were leltl. In his own ease his slaves were nippy anil contented, llis ownershln ind rule wore mild ami benevolent, and lis slaves adored bhn. This was t^e case with most people lie know, and he vlllfully cr perhaps unconsciously Minded himself to any other feature of t. Aside from any consideration of the slave question, his state was easily jaramount to the United States or any >ther of them in his affections, and he vns unable to understand how there could be any hesitation on the part of lis soil ns to his duty. lie plied him vitli every argument at his command, vhile by the most violent efforts he >arcly succeeded in preserving, some ueasurc of his self control in the daily liseussions. At first Itoyd thought to break away rom these recurring periods of heated lebate and solace himself in the society of the woman he loved. Put here igain exactly the same state of affairs tupervened. If possible, Mary Annan vas more fierce and determined in her leutimcnts titan his father. She was completely swept away by the situa;ion. lie found that whereas she had ict^ willing before to allow him to lour his tale of affection In her listenng ears and had even played at lovenakinir herself now ?!><? iin<i i.n# opie of conversation, and lie was per'oree com polled to contine liim; elf to ;lie discussion of that or remain silent. When lie was with neither father nor iweetheart and resorted to the society if Harrow and the young men of his ild time nequaintnncc, lie found that no ither subject for conversation could ho itnrted and maintained with them oilier. In truth, there was reason for ill this concentration of mind upon one dea, this social obsession upon sceeslion. As lie entered more and more uto the spirit of his environment he aw more and more clearly the irreconilahle nature of the opinions held by iort',1 and south upon the quest-on of la very. The right of a state to secede from he general government had never hem ested.

Al though vigorous prates s ver made ! . some imie.cnt men. like Ale:::,nth r li. Stephens of Ccorgia, the re*r.!t in cvt r.v cr.si' was a foregone conclusion. The question of slavery?which, wh.l j it was obscured by the question >. * secession, was really the basic < :i shleraticn. since it was slavery wh:< li brought about the d< sire for secession was almost as fiercely dobnttd. but with not nearly so much unanimity. The southerners were by no 1. ans agreed on that subject. And it was a pity Unit this diversity of opinion was ^ not realized i:i the north. Here again Judge Annan differed from r.ie.i y of his neighbors. lie, in common with j such men as Henry A. Wire, the gov^B crnor of Virginia, deplored the e.\ist^H cnce of slavery, and with others hndS beett quietly working for some tini^H lo< tow a rd its abolition. Tb. y InflH come to regard slavery as a curse atm blot upon the fair name of the snuih,"] as well as a menace to any industrial supremacy, rather than a divinely ordained institution, a blessing. I.eft to themselves, these men would have brought about a gradual abolition of slavery upon < quilable grounds which would have been acceptable to the wuoio iinuoa. The moral consciousness of the south, generally speaking. was cntlivly at rest ott the question. however. The slaveholding statesmen were as sincere ninl as thoroughly convinced that they were right as the most violent abolitionist was to the contrary, aiul to convince them otherwise would require time, t.n t and patience, forces which have often eforc moved a world. Such an industrial system a a si a vigor could not lie uprooted suddenly without so seriously disturbing existing economic conditions as to produce revolution. The efforts cf the southern abolitionists?who would naturally resent the term?wore in the present excitement fruitless. They found themselves hopelessly outclassed, and were compelled to sink the question of slavery in a choice between their state and the United States. Their choice in most Instances was inevitable. Attached, therefore, by family, friends and sweetheart, Peyton actually gradually persuaded himself tlia? it was not bis duty to remain in the United States service, lie bad been born in Alabama. All bis family, bis I friends, the woman he hoped to make his wife, lived there. All bis affections, his dreams, his hopes, were centered there. If war came?and he was at last convinced against bis will that it would come, and the conviction came in the end because ho was one of the few southern men who knew the quality of the north, which most of his countrymen, publicly, at least, derided- lie would be < unpolled to light against those ho loved and who loved him. hiving in a seaboard town, it was quite possible that he might Duiiit' u;i%v uu c*.; ill ;:ri it'll l?> 111X" 11 I HO guns cl' a warship upon this very city, . upon his own people, upon his own home.
