The Heart Sometimes Right.

We fosnd the ftllo1ng in our recent
p%ergrlostions and copyi it as an evidence
of the better feelings Of the human heart.
In times like the present, such waits are
truly refreshing and really do us good. A
daughter rendered her aged Father a BIRTH
day present accompanied with the follow
ing highly acceptable note:
"sJ
enjoy many more birthdays, with US who
love you SO much. It is true you are left
lonely in the absence Of those nearest you ;
but our hearts cling to you as fondly as
when we used to meet with you around the
dear old hesrth-ston e ; and our hearts
ache With sadness when We think there
ever will be . time when the old home
stead will be vacated BY our dear parent.
Oh! may such sorrow be spared US for
many, very many long yeara, and may you
enjoy health and happiness for many more
to come and be permitted to greet with
gladness the dear loved ones, as well al
those of rs who arc present, many, vers
many times in the future, and may we have
your prayers and counsel to help US owe,
the rough places Of life, is the prayer o
your Daughter"

A few day ago our Washington dispatch
es contained the brief announcement that
"Paymastcr Larned died yesterday" No
further notice has been taken Of it, but the
event should not be allowed to pass with
out some tribute, however inadequate it
may he, TO the memory Of one Of the old
est officers in the army. Benjamin Frank
lin Larned was native of Massachusetts,
and entered the service during our last war
with Great Britain, being appointed ensign
in the 2lst Regiment of Infantry on the lst
of October, 1918. In March, of the fol-
lowing year, he was made Third Lieuten-
ant and then Second Lieutenant, and, five
months aflerward, First Lieutenant. At
the defence Of Fort Erie, August 13, IA
and l5, 1914, Lieut.. Larned commanded
his company, and participated in the glory
of that splendid defense and ultimate vic
tory, when $500 United States regulars
and volunteers, commanded by Major Gen.
Gaines, defeated British division Of s.
352 regulars, militia and Indians, under
Lieutenant General Drummond, with n
loss on our side of 6S killed and wohhAed,
and, on the part of the British, 1896 killed
wounded, ard 1876 prisoners. For his gal
liant conduct in this defence Lieut.. Larned
received the breyet rank Of Captain, dated
from August 18th, 1874. In the following
January he was appointed Regimental Pay
master, and on the reduction Of the army
