Earnest Men.

Enthusiasm is magnetic. Like the mag.
ic fiddle OF little Fritz III the German leg.
enc, 1t fascinates and draws after it the
crowds No eloquent enthusiast ever
lacked followers, whether his creed were
right or wrong. The earnest man of ac-
lion, even though. very. bungler in his
rhetoric. is sure to have plenty of friends.
His deeds speak fer him. Cromwelfs s
speeches were generally unintelligible.
but he was terribly in earnest both as a
fanatic and soldier. 1t was impossible TO
doubt the sincerity of his prayers, or to
misunderstood the logic of his victories.
Mahomet was a man of vast capacity, q
great orator, furious sec.arian, and an
bonest-hesrted hero. Such q combine
ton was irresistible; and he founded at
once q new Empire and new creed. Had
the intellect of Luther been q more pas
sive type, his conquests over error had ev-
er been achieved. 1t was the war-like ar
dor with which he challenged and defed
his antagonists, his enthusiasm as con-
troversislist, that enlisted sympathetic
spirits under his banner, and made the
Reformation a success. To come down to
later rtimes-confdence in his own desti-
ny was the inspiration of Napoleon, and
it.was because ne believed in himself that
his army believed in him. He thought
himself irresistible and so thought every
man in his hosts from the marahals of the
empire 10 the meanest followers of the
camp. To this deiusion, as much as TO
his genius, may be ascribed the glories of
his dazzling career. Stonewsll Jackson
a man OF not very extraordinary talent
was an enthusiast whose zeal and fer
vor were worthy of better cause and q
better fate. No red cross knight ever
shouted the crusaders shibboleth God
wills it," with more passionate devotion
than the war cry of Treason. The fiery
zeal that possessed him communicated 10
those he led, and they performed prodi.
gies of yalor.
Ii has been ever thus, snd ever will be.
Without energy and earnestness nothing
that the world will think worth to re-
member can be accomplished. They Of
ten save bad cause from defeat, and al
most invariably secure the ultimate tri-
umph of good one. In the field, the
forum and pulpit, in art, science, litera-
ture and love they are alike indispensable
to success. An intellect however capa-
cious has no potency without them. Its
like a shell without fuse-a ball without
a charge of powder, between right and
wrong all the Yehemence is sometimes on
the evil side, and hence right now and
then gets the worst of it. whatever thy
hand fndeth to do, do it with sll thy
might" is glorious precept.

The Love ofHome.

The following noble sentiments were
uttered by Daniel Webster. They are,
indeed, pearls of the rarest value. We
place them here in order that mothers
may see them and read them 10 their
children.
sit is only shallow minded pretenders
who make either distinguished origin a
matter of personal merit, or obscure ORR
gin matter of personal reproach. A
man who is not ashamed of himself need
not be ashamed of his early condition
1t did happen to me to be born in log
cabin, raised among the snow-drifts of
New Hampshire at period so early that
when the smoke first rose from its rude
chimney and curled over the frozen hills,
there was no similar evidence of a white
mans habitation between it and the
rivers of Canada. Its remains still exist.
l make 1t an annual visit. l carry my
children to it, to teach them the hard
ships endured by the generation before
me. love to dwell on the tender recol-
lections, the kindred ties, the early af-
fections and the narration of incidents
which mingle with all 1 know of this
primitive family abode: weep to think
that none of those who inhabited it are
now among the living; and if ever l fail
in affectionate veneration for him who
raised it, and defended it against savage
violence and destruction, cherished all
domestic comforts beneath its roof, and
through the fire and blood of seven years
Revolutionary war, shrunk from no toll,
no sacrifice to serve his country, and 70
raise his children to q condition better
than his own, may my name and the
name Of my posterity be blotted from
the memory Of man kind.

The Live Eagle Of the VviScOn-
sin Stil Enfa antry.

A correspondent of the Virequa Wis
consin) Times gives the following interest
ing particulars OF the eagle "Old Abe" of
the 8th Wisconsin regiment:
Old Abe Is an intelligent bird, and un-
derstands himself. When at liberty to 90
where he pleases, the suffers tent Is his
fsyOrite resort. If any live chickens are
/ to he found, he is sure 10 pounce on one,
seizing il with one claw, and hobbliDg off
on the other, with the aid of his wings.
Old Abe, we are sorry to say, is quite q
thief. There Is one favorite dog in the
regiment with which the eagle keeps on
good terms. They will both eat together
st the beginning of the meal, but towards
the close Of the meal as provisions get
scarce. the eagle viii pitch. into the dog
and dive him of. If horse comes with
in reach, N. Eagle is sure 10 exhibit his
sr..- ri'rity over the quadrupedal creation
ID l-pl ug on the nag and inserting mis-
talons n no very complementary manner.
Old Abe manifests his appreciation of
! oratory IN very unique manner.
When distinguished officer comes
along and az iresses the troops, he joins
with the soldiers in their cheers. His
method of cheering IS 10 spread his PIN
ions to their utmost extent, and then
jump up and down on his perch. This
mode of applause adopted by the eagle is
said TO be very inspiring TO the orator.
When the regiment is engaged in bat
tie, Old Abe manifests the fiercest delight.
At such time he will always be found1in
his appropriate place at the head of COM
pany D. To be seen in all his glory, he
should be seen when the regiment is en-
veloped in the smoke of battle. Then
the eagle, with spread pinions, Jumps up
and down on his perch. uttering such
wild, fearful screams as an eagle only can
utter, The fiercer, wilder and louder the
battle, the fiercer, wilder and louder are
the screams of the eagle.
Twice Old Abe has been hit by secession
bullets, one shot carried away a third part
part of his tail feathers He is univer-
sal fayorite, and has been carried through
seven states. Thousands flock to see him
and he is fast becoming famous.
When the war is over with, this eagle
should be kept at the expense of the
State, at the Capitol at Madison, and the
heroic warrior who bore him safely thro'
should be pensioned by the State and he
retained as the keeper of the eagle To
this we are sure all the people of the
State will agree. Wha a grand history
he will have-what a grand eagle he will
be a hundred years hence. Pilgrims
would come in vast multitudes from all
parts of the world to see the eagle that
was borne through this, our second war
for independence. Yes! let the eagle be-
come State Institution after tie war is
over. His name Is already recorded in
history.

which COW is fastened, separated by .

Early and NIoaern Warfare.

Acre was taken by Richard 1. in 1892,
after seige of two years. The loss was
astonishing and peculiar, consisting Of
six bishops, forty earls, FIVE hundred bar
ons, and three hundred thousand soldiers
The place was retaken by the Saracens.
about one hundred years afterwards, and
sixty Thousand Christians were slain.-
Ii was again taken by the British Admi-
raj Stopford in a few hours with two
thousand and one hundred killed and
three thousand prisoners. Thus as the
implements of war become more destruo-
tive, the sacrifice of life is greatly re-
duced. The present proficiency of mar
tial weapons shortens the time os battles
and saves human lifes.
