"Men should not marry" it is common

tain for themselves the social position TO
which they have been accustomed, bnt
extend the benefits Of that position to
their wives and children. A woman who
marries is entitled TO be kept in the same
rank and comfort in which she was
reared" We disavow these doctrines. II
should be the aim for every married
couple to make their own fortune. No
son, and daughter, who become man and
wife, are entitled to rely on their patrmo-
ny, but should willingly commence life
at lower step in the social ladder than
that occupied by their parents, so that
they may have the merit and happiness
ofrsng, if possible, 10 the top. Imagine
the case ofan aged couple, who by grea,
perseverance have acquired possession of
immence wealth, and are living in a style
Of ease and spendor which is no more
than the reward Of their long life of in
dusry. Will anybody say tha, the child,
rem of snch "old folks" should live in the
same grandeur as their parents? The
idea is prepos'erous. They have no
srigh, ~ secii luxury, they situvc done
nothing to deserve it, and if their parents
are honest in dividing their property
among them, they can have no means of
supporting it. Yet marriages are con
trac,ed on the principle that the married
couple shall be able to keep up the rank
to which they have been accustomed

LIFE AND SERVICES OF GEN. SCOTT.
Winfield Scott was born near Petersburg, in
Virginia, on the 18th of June, in the year 1886.
He finished his studies at the College of William
and Mary, and was admitted to the bar in l $780,
After practising law in Virginia about n year, he
emgrated to South Carolina
Our difficulties with England caused Congress
to pass an act in April 1908 to increase the army.
Scott applied Immediately for a commission in one
OF the regiments about to be raised, and in May,
1903, was appointed captain of Light Artillery
War was not actually declared until June, 1912
HE interval between 1903 and the declaration of
war was one of great political excitement. Scott
sided with the Democratic party, supported the
election OF President Madison, and approved, ad-
vocated and wrote in favor of war measures.
In July, 1872, Scott was commissioned Lieute-
nant Colonel In the 2nd Artillery and proceeded
TO the Niagara Frontier. In October of that year
Lieutenant Elliott applied to Scott for assistance
IN men, to capture the Adams and Caledonia two
British vessels of war then lying under the pro.
ton of the guns OF Fort Erie The vessels were
both captured; but Elliott was compelled TO abap
don the Adams She got aground, and the British
attempted to retake her, but were repulsed by the
gallantry of COL Winfield Scott. This was the
first time he had met the enemy--and here, as in
every subsequent engagement where he was first
In command, he was victorousl
A few days after, was fought the memorable
battle OF Queenstown Heights. Scott was the he

city. 1t has been very sapienty remarked by an
opponent of capital punishment, that ..the worst

y 1914, just three weeks after that of Chippe-
wa. The battle commenced about forty minutes
before sunset and continued until midnight. Here
again Scott was the master spirit of the fight
American yalor again triumphed over the veteran
regiments Of Britain. Scott had two horses killed
under him, was wounded in the side, but still
fought on until the close of the battle, when he
was postrated by wound in the shoulder. This
was the hardest fought battle Of the war; OR

boy Where so many have gathered imperisha-

youthful Scott to be hailed by universal consent,
the hero Of Lundy's Lane"
For his gallantry in these actions Scott was soon
alter promoted to the rank of Major General. On
November Sd, 1914. Congress passed resolr-
