that correspondence had he seemed to realize

pi,v hsd placed itself toward the Nations, Govern
m,nt. II was undoubtedly great responsibility
which rested upon the shoulders Of Col. Alexander;
but il was also great opportunity for viadicsting
the national honor and winning personal distinc-
,ion with which be- was fur ished, an opportunity
such as never before bcf. an officer OF bis rank IN
the whole military history Of the United States.
The arrival of Col Johnston shifted the response
bity. but the opportunity was lost to Col Alexan'
der forever, and to the Army Of Utah until next
Spring. "
In consideration of this series of obstacles to the
immediate success of the Utah Expedition, 1t ss
general desire in the army that court OF nyestga-
,;on shall be ordered into the conduct OF the cam
poion. The blame, if blame is to be bestowed,
will rest upon only few officers, high in rank to
be sure. but not above question as to military ca
pacity. II cannot, in any event, be fastened upon
any corps in the command. There is not sub
sltern. nor even, believe, private IN the ranks,
who would not welcome an opportunity, attended
by whatever difficulty or hardship, to wipe OUT Tue
modification which is sincere and universal.

THE FIRST LESSON IN GAMBLING

led others to do so. Now it is very simple
thing to gamble SO simple and often appears
SO fair, that many boy is led to take his first
step before he knows it.
There was behind an oyster stand, circle Of

with large nails driven in it, which stood up.
right. A clear faced, brightcyed handsome
little fellow, well dressed and well behaved
stepped up to him. He was just such u boy
as is prompt at dayschool, and always has his
lesson at Sunday school and such Il boy as
will always be a favoritc with his companions,
for his kindness and unsclfshncss He showed
this all in his face as he stepped up to the man
and said Whats that for ?"
"Givc me cent and you may pitch one Of
these Rugs, and if it catches over nail I'll
give you six cents"
That seemed fair enough, so the boy handed
him cent, and took a ring. He stepped back
to the stoke, tossed the ring, and it caught
one of the nails.
"Will you take six rings to pith again, or
six cents" was the answer: and two three
cent pieces were put into his haud, and he
stepped off, well satisfied with what he had
done, and probably not having any idea that
he had done wrong
A gentleman standing near, had watched
him, and rcjoining his companions, laid his
hand on his shoulder.

" You staked your penny, and won six, did
you not I"
Yes did,"
You did not earn them, and they were not

win money. You have taken the first step in
the path. that man has gone through it, and
you can see the end. Now ! advise you to go
and give him six cents back, and ask him for
your penny, and then stand square with the
world, an honest boy again"
He had hung his head down, but raised il
quickly, and his bright open look rs he said
" III do it," will not be forgotten lie ran
back and soon emerged from the ring, looking
happier than ever. He touched his cap and
bowed pleasantly as he ran away to join his
comrades.
That boy was honest honest to himself,
honest in his impulses, honest in his inmost
soul. He did not stop to think, that gentle
man does not know me, and shall make a
better use of the money than that gambling
vagabond; SO I'll just say nothing about it,
but keep what have so fairly won. No, hcI

as if he was used to dong right, and as if it

honest for the love of it, Who does not love
transparent characters anywhere in boys or

"That is an odd way to begin letter.

pics, and after he had said good-morning "
and was bowling himself out of the room,
should announce his name as Mr.. So-and-sO
