THE TEMPTATIONS AND DANGERS OF
l-4tot j THE CAMP. @ -

These words will not reach many who
have volunteered to fight fer their coun-
try, but will reach some, and more, per-
haps, of those who will do so at some early
future time. 1t would be sad result of
this war, and great misfortune, if those
who have so nobly stepped forward for
their country's defense should, after hav-
ing fought their battles. return to their
homes, polluted in morals, addicted to
liquor. broken down in health by vicious
practices, and untitled to resume the peace
full avocations of life. Removed from
home and the restraints of the society of
women, with many idle hours to be passed
in some way, with monotony to be broken
up'by all practicable measures, and with
constant desire for excitement, it will be-
hard for young men to resist temptation
vicious indulgences in the various ways in
which they present themselves to the SOL
der. Now it should be the definite aim
and determination of every man who en-
lists in this war to bring his mind and
body out unpolluted-to return to his
home at last, if he is permitted to do so,
as good and as pure and as healthy as when
he left it. OF course we refer simply to
degradation and injury self-inhicted. Pro-
family and obscenity are two of the beset-
ting sins of soldiers, and all heterogeneous
collections of men.
Let every man determine that no pro-
fame or unbecoming word pass his lips
while he is away, and that he will dis
countenance and condemn all attempts on
the part of those around him to convert
the camp into an institution for mutual
pollution. Let whiskey alone, except
when prescribed by physician, keep the
skin clean and healthy as possible, and
preserve self-respect on all occasions aud
under all circumstances Do credit to
your northern breeding, and the civiliza-
ton to whose defense you hasten.

We look like a gentleman. Upon first

thought we were swopped off, We went

see Mr. Clark, and told us we would find

asked if the editor was in told him we

he would be in; business man left

ladies'; one of them asked the other

this dilemma we met friend and told him

as can be- The next time we get a new
suit, we shall let her know beforehand
