HEART FORCE. mans force in the
world, other things being equal, is just
in the ratio of the strength and force
of his heart. A full hearted man is
always a powerful man. IF the thing
is in his heart, he is sure to make It
notorious, even though it may be g
downright falshood. Let a man be
ever SO ignorant, still, if bis heart is
full Of love to the cause, he becomes a
powerful man for that object; because
he has heart power, heart force. A
man may be deficient in many of the
advantages of education, in MANY of
those niceties which are so much looked
upon in society, but once give him q
strong heart that beats hard, and there
is no mistake about his power. Let
him have heart that is right foil mp
to the brim with an object, and that
man will do the thing, or he will die
gloriously defeated, and will glory in
his defeat. Heart is power.

to make any concessions for peace
He could meet outside trouble, and

been on the floor for nearly FIVE years,
not being considered by many degrees
