An INTERNAL MACHINE.-TheT Toronto Globe

War is az ugly thing, but not the ugliest o
things; the decayed and degraded state of moral
and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth
war, is worse. A man who has nothing which
he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares
more about than he does about his personal safe
ty, is miserable creature who has no chance o.
being free, unless made and kept so by the exer
tons of better men than himself.
Many married soldier goes through cam
paign without scratch, and that's better thar
he might do at home.
