Who is OLD?-A man will never rust
out. AS long as he can move and breath
he will do something for himself, his neigh.
Dor, or for posterity. Almost to the last
hour of his life Washington was at work.
So were franklin and Young and Howard
and Newton. The Vigor of their lives
never decayed. No rust marred their
spirits. 1t is foolish idea to suppose that
wc must lie down and die because wo are
old. Who is old2 Not the man of energy
not the day laborer in science, art, or be-
nevolence; but he only who suffers his ener-
gies to waste away and the spring of life to
become motionless; on whose hands the
hours drag heavily; to whom all things
wear the garb of gloom. Is he old is be
active can he breath freely and move with
agilltyi There are scores of grsy-headed
men we should prefer, in any important en-,
terprise, to those young gentlemen who
fear and tremble at approaching shadows,
and turn pale, as lion in their path, at Il
harsh word or frown.-M Y Independent.

A Brilliant ExpIoIt.

One Of the coolest and most extraordin-
airy exploits Of the war, is described in let
ter by Brigadier General Brown, dated
Springfield, Mo. Aftcr preliminary des-
cription of the engagements with the reb-
els eighteen miles from Newtopia, Gen. B.
proceeds:
The General (Schofeld) sent Lieut.. Blod-
gett, attended by an orderly, with orders to
Col. Hall, Sd Missouri Cavalry, to move to
the left and attack in that direction. The
route of the Lieutenant was across a point
Of woods, in which, while passing, he sud.
denly found himself facing about forty reb-
els drawn up in irregular line. Without a
moments hesitation he and tho orderly
drew their pistols and charged. At the
same time, tempering bravely with mercy,
and not feeling any desire to shed blood
needlessy, he drew out his handkerchief
and waved it 10 token of his willingness to
surround and capture the whole rebel force
rather than shoot them down. The cool
impudence of the act non-plussed the foe,
and thinking there was large force in the
rear, eight of them threw down their arms
and surrendered, and the balance skedad-
died. 1t is difficult to say which l admired
most in the Lieutenant, his bravery in max
ing the charge against such odds, when to
have hesitated moment was certain death,
or his presence Of mind and GOODNESS in off.

deserves more than passing notice. His

Mans Immortality,

One of the sweetest sonnets of the soul is that
of immortality. The discordant tune of pain
and fear, of griefs and groans, and heavy cares,
is not able to drown it. 1t is heard in clear full
notes, high and deep-toned above the clamors
Of passion. 1t rises from every key of the soul
sounding a complete volume throughout the in
ner temple, with strains like these; Soul thou
art born for eternityl "Thou livest forever -
"Man thou shall never diel''-thou art bloom
ing now for immortality. Death is but the
breaking of our mortal shell by the struggles OF
the soul for the life ofincorruption The soul, il
washed in blood divine, escaping from its NOR
tai wreck and the woful shades of sin, will as
naturally fly to God in heaven as the freed bird
to her mountain. To make arguments on which
TO rest faith in the souls Immortality is uncalled
for when such faith has for it's basis persuasion
in every soul, a conscious existence Of knowl-
edge, feeling, thinking, remembering choosing
and loving and that, too, without interruption
either from matter or death.
