Mr. Ogden replied as follows: ...'..

Dear loang Eniaias-Perhaps no stream OF
earthly pleasure is purer or rises higi.-
er IN The estimation Of men or angels, than the
warm outgushings ofgenerous sympathy But
how unspeakabIy dear this pleasure becomes
when the sympathy rushes out into the storm
and shakes US by the hand and covers us all
over from head TO foot, with the most tangible
tokens OF kindness.
Suchmy young friends, has been your valuable
gift to me, but its commercial value is lost when
compared with the value which attaches to it on
The remembrance of the noble generosity which
prompted the deed. This act alone we've sufli-
.cient to endeaT you to me for lifetime; but
when tremember that this only crowns series
'otno9le deeds and generous confidence, it be-
comes thrice endeared, It shall be very sweet
to remember this when the mind fevered and
Jaded turns to seek some cool OASIS in the desert
of lie. BE assured that no. hing gives me more
pleasure than to be thus assured that my we'll
meant services have been appreciated, You
have made a very bright spot in the history Of
one poor heart: and could / persuade myself
that that heart was as worthy as your generosi-
ty indicates it would strengthen it immeasula-
bly, for the conflicts Of life. Go on then my
young friends. Deeds Of nobility outshne the
glitter OF a crown. "Dare to be wise.'i Dare to
do right. Dare to oopnose the wrong and defend
fhe right. Arm yourselves with the strippls
mail OF sincerity, truth and meeisness; and the
'strongholds' Of ignorance wrong and oppression
must yeld'to your prowess. Let true nobility
sofsoul characterize your intercourse with your
fellow men, and you need not fear the cavs Of
thr skeptical, the envy f the selfish, or the base
ingratitude ofthe vile ones, who, gaunt fingered
would clutch at your renown. Despite off these
you shall build to yourselves name more en-
sturing than brass or marble. And may we not
yet hope for Our cherished obiect2 Has not
some precious.seed fallen into faithful soi?-
May We not hope that from ashes at least, may
spring thS vigorous scion, strong wings lledged
10 mount up to gaze even upon the sun? Let
u5 at least comfort ourselves with the considera-
tion that our cause is jnst, and that a hand that
cannot err guides the affairs of those who put
their trust in the Almighty Let us remember
that "he that goeth forth weeping, bearing rrec-
sous seed, shall return again bearing his sheaycs
with him." In conclusion allow me to express
sny warmest gratitude for your noble generosity.
With lerEent prayer for your future good, ]
Your humble servant, -s#.s.s.s
