American ship, left the Endymion far
astern. Indeed, when the Pomone
opened her fire on the President, the
Endymion was a long way out of

her disabled condition, rejoin the

when defeated by American arms.
British ships had always been defend
ed with conspicuous valor; but to be
beaten at all on the sea, was most NOR
tifylng, and the press of England was
ingenious, not to say inscriptions, in
the invention of excuses for disasters
and in magnifying victories. The cap
ture of the President is case in point.
1t was, for time, boldly asserted
that the American ship was taken by
a single frigate of equal force, and the
British Government endorsed the mis-
representation, by bestowing upon
Captain Hope the medal of victory.
The officer fought his ship with gallant
ry, bnt he conld not justly claim to be
victor over the President; his ship lay
disabled, out of gun-shot, when the
American ship yielded to the superior
force, which almost encircled her.
An old British admiral once rebuked
some young officers, who were exult-
ing over the capture of the President.

A mans force in the world, 9th

ignorant, still if his heart be full of love
to the cause, he becomes a powerful
mar for that object, because he has
heart-power, heart-force. A man may
be deficient in many of the advantages
of education, and in many of those
niceties which are SO much looked up
on in society; but once give him a
strong heart that beats hard, and there
is no mistake about his power. Let
him have heart that is right full ND

man will do the thing, or else he will
die gloriously defeated, and will glory
in his defeat. Heart is power.-Spaw-

The Capture of the Presdient--A Remin-
iscence of the War of 1912.

The recent disaster to the British
arms at Peiho, has recalled the cap
ture Of the U. S. frigate President,
during the last war with England, in
consequence of the connection of Ad-
miral Hopes family with both affairs.
The President was captured by a
British squadron off New York, in
January, 1915, one of the ships being
the Endymion, commanded by Captain
Hope, whose nephew, as Admiral, was
recently repulsed SO severely by the
Chinese at Peiho. The President was
captured under the following circum-
stances:
A small American squadron, consis-
ting of the President, IA guns,) Com
modore Decatur; the Peacock, QS,)
Capt. Warrington; the Hornet, QS,)
Capt. Biddle; and store ship, was
collected in New York in the fall of
1914, destined for cruise in the East
Indies. The squadron did not get to
sea until the middle of January, 1915,
at which time British force-the
Majestic (64,) the Endymion (4O,) the
Pomonc (3S,) and the Tenedos (3s)-
was stationed off New York harbor,
watching the American vessels there.
A heavy gale on the 18th, had driven
the enemy's ships to the southwark,
and on the 14th, at night, Commodore
Decatur dropped down to Sandy Hook,
with the President alone, intending to
run off the coast before the British
ships could get back to their station.
The night was very dark, and in
attempting to cross the bar, the pilot
missed the channel, running the ship
on to the sands, where she lay beating
heavily for nearly two hours. AT the
top of the tide, however, the frigate
was forced into deep water. BY this
unfortunate and ill-timed mishap, the
President was good deal injured, but
it was impossible to return, and Com
modore Decatur determined to run off
to the northward and eastward along
the land, to avoid the enemy's squad
ron, which might at any moment, be
expected from the leeward position, to
which it had been driven on the day
previous. The ships head was accord
ingly put to the northward and east
ward, on which course she run for i've
hours, when she was headed S. Z. by
E. About FIVE, on the following morn

Keep Your Eye ON Your Neighbors.

Take care of them. Don't let them
stir without watching. They may do
something wrong if you do. To be
sure you never knew them to do any,
thing very bad, but it may be on your
account they have not. Perhaps if it
had not been for your kind care, they
might have disgraced themselves and
families long time ago. Therefore
don't relax any effort to keep them
where they ought to be; never mind
your own business, that will take care
of itself. There is a man passing
along-he is. looking over the fence
be suspicious of him, perhaps he con-
templates stealing something some of
these dark nights; there's no knowing
what queer fancies he may have got
into his head. If you see any
symptom of any one passing out of the
path of duty, tell every one else that
you can see, and be particular to see a
great many. 1t is good way to cir
culatc such things, and though it NAV
not benefit yourself, or any one else
particularly, it will be something i'm
portant to some one else. Do keep
something going-silence is dreadful
thing, though it is said there was ST.
lence in Heaven for the space of half
an hour, don't let any such thing occur
on earth it would be too much like
Heaven, for the inhabitants of this
mundane sphere. If, after all your
watchful care, you don't see anything
out of the way in any one, you may be
sure it is not because they have done
anything bad; perhaps in an unguard-
sd moment you lost lost sight of them
throw out hints, they are no better
than they should be-that you should
not wonder if people found out what
they were after a while, and then they
may not carry their heads so high.
Keep it a going and some one will
take the hint and begin to help you af.
ter while-then there will be music,
and everything will work to charm.

loab, over against Beth-Peor: but no man know
tn of his sepulcher unto this Deuteronomy
L. g. 'St4t ft
BY Nebo's lonely mountain,
On this side Jordan's wave, ,a
In vale in the land of Moab,
There lies lonely grave.
And no man dug that sepulcher,
And no man saw it e'er;
For the angels of God upturned the sod,
And laid the dead man there.
That was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth;
CO But no man heard the trampling
Or saw the train go forth.
Noiselessly as the daylight
Comes, when the night is done,
And the crimson streak, on oceans cheek,
Grows into the great sun.
Noiselessly as the spring time
Her crown of verdure weaves,
And ore the trees and on the hills
Opens their thousand leaves;
So, without sound of music,
Or voice of them that wept,
Silently down from the mountain crown,
The great procession swept.
Perchance the bald old eagle,
On gray Beth-Peor's height,
Out of his rock eyry
Looked on the Wonderous sight
Perchance the lion stalking,
Still shuns that hallowed spot
For beast and bird have seen and heard
That which man knoweth not.
But when the warrior dieth,
His comrades in the war,
With arms reserved and mufned drum,
Follow the funeral car.
They show the banners taken,
They tell his battles won. o @
And after him lead his masterless steed,
While peals the minute gun.
Amid the noblest of the land
Men lay the sage to rest,
And give the bard an honored place
With costly marble drest.
In the great minister transept,
Where lights like glories fall,
And the sweet choir sings and the organ rings
Along the emblazoned wall.
This was the bravest warrior
That ever buckled sword
This the most gifted poet
That ever breathed word
And never earth's philosopher
Traced with his golden pen,
On the deathess page, truths half as sage
Ae ha wrote d.,x~n for mon
And had he not high honor?
The hill side for his pail,
To lie in state, while the angels wait,
With stars for the tapers tall
And the dark rock-pines, like tossing plumes,
Over his bier to wave,
And Gods own hand in that lonely land
To lay him in the grave.
In that deep grave without name,
Whence his uncoffined clay
Shall break again-most wondrous thought
Before the Judgment Day,
And stand, with glory wrapped around,
On the hills he never trod
And speak of the strife that won our life
With the Incarnate Son of God.

Of him He loved so well. T
