Camp Clarke, rs you are perhaps aware, is

true bravery.
There is, however, in my opinion, another
req uisite to true bravery whrh | VIII IN tits
cOunec ton call - self gOYernment''--that mo
ness are made subject to our wills and judg-
ments. This is what induces men who act
from principle TO leave the comforts and lies
OF home 10 undergo for time the hardships
and privntiOHs CT the camp. A tifuI Il
lusIratioI Of this Principle is seen in the life
ct the great Washington, who, like tincn n l.

al power and authority and retired into The
Quists OF domestic life.

propensity for riIing, by saying few words

camp OF my company.

Y. Our courts, for instance, with all

way. Our courts, for instance, with all
the paraphernalia Of justice, are a public
burthen, in which every citizen contri,
butes share and still, perhaps, not one
citizen in ten avails himself of their bene-
fit. Many men pass through a long life
time without once resorting to them for
protection while there are none who are
independent Of the mails
lis very we'll, wherever it is found to
be practicable, to make every department
do what it can for it's own support, and
we do not object to moderate tax on
those who use the mails; but all past ex-
perience shows that to make the post Of
flee selfsupporting must cut off very
large portion of the people, in the more
s2arsely settled sections Of the country,
from this important advantage Of govern
ment. We will never have an effective
postal system except by direct appropna-
tions from the public treasury to support
it.--Sarannah Republican.

Take the Other Road.

A traveller, arriving in his journey at
place where two roads met, was at 4
loss to know which one to take, as both
bore evidence of having been recently
travelled.
While he was debating within himself
he noticed sign post which stood at the
junction of the roads, on one side of
which he read the way TO-" and
on the reverse "Talle the other road"
He paused after reading the latter,
wondering what was the reason for
avoiding that road any more than the
other.
AS far ashis eye could see, it was equal
Iy as good, and in proof of the direction
on the sign post having been disregardcd,
there were the footprints Of hundreds and
thousands who had gone that way.
"Td really like to know the difference
between the roads," said he to himself,
"I'm inclined to walk some distance
down this left hand road just to satisfy
my curiosity"
So he trudged along Notwithstanding
the admonition before his eyes that had
been placed there to warn travellers.
Presently his feet began to sink in the
mirc deeper and deeper, and when he
saw his danger and would have turned
back, a solemn voice sounded in his ears
" too late, too latew and wall of dark
ness shut from his view the path by which
he had come.
How much has curiosity to do with the
wrong-doing of men! Even though the
way of salvation is so clearly pointed out
to them, they persist in going the road
that leads to death.
Do not stand debating in your mind
which road to take. If others go astray,
must you follow?
Make for the Eternal City. Time is
precious, and the work you have to do
admits of no delay.
Whosoever walketh upightly shall be
saved; but he that is perverse in his
ways shall fall at once.
