There is to "every soldier in the wars" a
whole sermon in this glorious passage from
Shakespeare:
Every subjects duty is the kings; but
Every subjects soul is his own. Therefore
Should every soldier in the wars do as
Every sick man in his bed, work every
Mote out of his conscience; and, diving
So death is to him advantage: or not dying,
The time was blessedly lost wherein such
Preparation was gained; and in him that
Escapes, il were not sin to think, that
Making God 80 free an offer, He let him
But live that day to see his greatness, and
To teach Others how they should prepare.
= The Legislature of Kentucky appropriated
81, 900 900 to carry on the war of the Union in
that State. The banks over there have come
down literally, far exceeding in patriotism like
institutions on our side of the river. The money.
ed interest in Kentucky is decidedly in our favor
And We have an abiding hope that the people will
yet demonstrate themselves overwhelmingly loyal
in this war.
high and merited compliment with reference to
Major Chapman:
The appointment of George II. Chapman as
Major of the AID regiment, Sd cavalry, was emf
nently fit to be made. He's, perhaps, as thorough.
ly versed in military science as il Is possible for a
mere civilian to become, having been under ac
tive drill for several years in connection with one
of the crack companies at Indianapolis. We shall
hear II good account of young Grow" wherevel

venting the sale of navy reviewers in a priyat

the army all that are for sale.
I'm peace there is nothing so becomes a maj
AS modest stiffness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then initiate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard favored rage;
Then lend the eve a terrible aspect;
Let it pry through the portage Of the head,
Like the brass cannon; let the brow Ger whelm it
As ~fearfully as doth a CALLED rock
O'erhang and jutty his contounded base,
Swilled with the wild and wastelul ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostrils wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height.
