Try are passing away. 1t shows that what
ever progress Russia may make, the West
advances at twice her rale, and that she
can have no chance with western troops in
an ever fight nor even with such odds as
she had at Inkerman. But for the disas-

Black Sea we should say that this battle

it at present. Before be was | 7 he became
so reckless and unruly that his father could
no longer control him. He left for the
wicked and corrupt city of New York where
he became a clerk in drinking saloon; but
his character was too bad to be retained
there. He next was bar-keeper in the.

and still lower, until he slept in empty cell

At this stage of bis career an old college

of the best colleges in the State Of New

up, and make one more effort to save him.
He went to New York. and after week of
diligent search, with the aid of the police.
he found him. He washed and clothed him,
took him back 10 the country, and by every
inducement that could be held out to him
