ADVANTAGES OF YxAHs--Gail Hamil-
ton thus pleasantly and truthfuliy speaks
Of the advantages of years: = :
"You are getting into years.. Yes.
but the years are getting into you-the
ripe, rich years, the genial, mellow
years, the lusty, luscious years. One
by one the crudities of your youth are
falling of from you. the vanity, ego
tism, the isolation, the bewilderment,
the uncertainty. Nearer and nearer
You are approaching yourself. You
are consolidating your forces. Every
wrong road into which you have wan
dered has brought you, BY the knowl-
edge OF that mistake, SO much closer to
the truth. You. no longer draw your
bow at venture, but shoot straight at
the mark. Your possibilities eoncen-
trate. and your path is cleared
On the ruins Of shattered plans, you
fad your vantage ground. Your bro
ken hopes, your thwarted purposes,
your defeated aspirations become a
staff Of strength with which you mount
to sublimer nights. With self-posses-
sion and self-command return the COM
mand of all things. The title deed Of
creation, forfeited, is reclaimed. The
king has come to his own again. The
earth and sky and sea pour out their
largess Of love. All the past crowds
down to lay its treasures at your feet"

HOW no RAISE A COMPANY

During the Revolution, Captain E.,
a member OF one OF the first families OF
Charleston, having lost in a skirmish
most of his men, went into the interior
of South Carolina for the purpose OF
enlisting recruits. Having appointed a
rendezvous, he spent day or two in
looking about the country. At the
lime and place appointed he found a
large number assembled. not one OF
whom were willing to enlist. After
some hours spent to no purpose be ap-
pointed rendezvous for the next day
and left tbe ground. Next day came,
and with 1t the same crowd; but he
met with no better success than before.
What could the matter be? 1t was the
first time during the war that recruit
ing officer had been entirely unsuccess-
full. Something must be wrong. and
he determined TO know what it was
Calling one Of the rustics aside, be
said:
"Why is it that ! get no recruits?"
"You don't think" answered the
countryman, "that we are going to list
under such looking man as you are?
You are dressed too. fine to be much OF
fighter" av .-.e.-.-
$50 you object to my dress. do you?
Come here tomorrow and / shall have
recruits" IA .v-lE nv
Next day the same crowd had as.
sembled. anxious to know what an idea
the dandy captain had got ints bis
head. After the crowd bad ssembled.
Captain E-stepped out and said, in
clear and distinct voice:
"My friends l understand that you
object to me because am dressed a lii.
tie better than yourselves. You think
l am unable to fight on that account.
/ will whip as many Of you as will come
out, one at time, with the under
standing that every. man is to enlist af-
ter he is whipped. Pick your men
and send Them along.
After some consultation q huge,
broad ,shouldered fellow came OUT
The captain drew of his coat very
eoolly. He was large and well made,
and superior boxer. The countryman
rushed up, intended to brush out the
captain IN q few minutes. He mistook
bis man, however, and soon measured
his length on the grass. A greater
bully than the first stepped ito take
his place, and soon took his place on
the ground. ~
The countrymen stared; they had no
idea such a man could 6ght. He had.
however, enlisted two men; and must
not be allowed to 60 further. The
bully Of the crowd nov stepped out to
take the gentleman in hand. lie was a
stout fellow, weighing about two hun
dred and fifty pounds, and Dragged
that be had never been whipped. He
knew nothing, however, about spar
ring. and be very soon followed his
companions. Never was crowd so ut
terly conIounded. Three of their best
men had been whipped by man from

TALLEYRASp 1.kEp AREcLD.-There
was day when Talleyrsnd arrived in
HayTe, on foot, from Paris 1t was
the darkest hour Of The French revolu,
ton. Pureaed By the blood-hounds o.
his reign Of terror, Tslleyrand secured
passage to The United States in .
ship about to sail. He was beggal
and vanderer to strange land, tC
earn his daily bread BY the sweat o.
his brow. ia- : s.-..-, -. -a..,.t
"Is there any American staying al
your house?" he asked the landlord ol
the hotel. at an going across the
water and would like q letter to q per
son of influence in the new world.
There is q gentlemen upstairs,
either from America or Britain; but
whether from America or England
cannot tell" So frs .s--les sl.,,i,s.
4 He pointed the vsy, and Tslleyrsnd
who, in his life, was bishop, prince, and
minister sscended the stairs. A mis-.
ersbIe suppliant be stood before the
strangers . room, knocked and entered.
In the far corner of the dimly-iighted
room sat q man of fifty years Of age.
bis arms folded, and his head bowed
upon his breast. From q window op-
posite, flood Of light poured upon his
forehead. His eyes looked from be-
meath the downeast brows, and upon
Talleyrand's face with a peculiar
searching expression. His form vigor-
ous even with the SHOWS Of fifty win
iers, was clad in a dark but rich and
distinguished costume. TallsyrsEd ad-
vanced. stated that be was fugitive,
and with the Impression that the gen
tleman was an American. he solicited
his kind feelings and Offices. He pour
ed forth his history in eloquent French
and broken English.
II am wanderer and On exile. I
am forced to fly to the New World
without friend or home. You are an
American. Give me then. besescb, :,
a letter of yours, so that l may be able
to earn my bread. | am willing to toll
10 any manner, life OF labor would be a
paradise 20 q career Of luxury in
France. You will give me q letter to
one of your friends? A gentleman like
you doubtless has many friends.
The strange gentleman arose. With
a look that Talleyrand never forgot. he
retreated towards the door of the next
chamber, his eyes looking still from be-
meath his darkened brow. be spoke as
he rstreated backward, his voice was
full Of meaning: II am the only
man in the New World who can raise
his hand to God and say, I have not
friend. not one. in America" !"
Talleyrand never forgot the over
whelming sadness Of the look which &C.
companied these words.
"Who are you?" he cried, as the
strange man retreated to the next
room: "your nsme?"
"My name," be replied, With smile
thsthad more of mockery than JOY in ITS
convulsiye expression-"my name is
Benedict Arnold"
He was gone, Talleyrandsank in the
chair, gasping the words, "Arnold, the
traitor!"
Thus he wandered over the earth,
another Cain, with the wanderers mark
upon his brow. and his sad fate is like
ly to be shared by others Of our own
day. who are proving traitors TO their
native land Home MonEhlv,
