SHORT SERMONS.

INDIVIDUALITY.

The belief of the Whole world cannot
make that thing true to me which seems
false. The conscience of the whole world
cannot make thing right to me, if III my
heart I believe it to be wrong. Yor may
coerce the conscience-you may eontroi
men and belief-and you may produce 2
unity by so doing-but it is the unity Of
pebbles on the sea shore--a lifeIess idep-
tity of outline and form with no cohesion
between the Iarts-a dead sea-beach on
which nothing grows, and where the very
sea-weed dies.
Out of 1900 millions of the human
race, few features diversity themselves
into so many forms of countenance, that
scarcely dozen could be mistaken for
each other. There are no two leaves on
The same tree alike; nor Two sides Of the
same leaf unless you cut and kill it,

character; each one born into this world
is fresh and new soul intended by his
Maker to develop himself in new fresh
way. We are what we are--we cannot
be truly other than ourselves. We at
tain towards perfection neither BY copy
ing, nor by striving after originality; but
by consistently working out the life
which is common TO us MI, according to
the character which God has given US.
In the outward universe each scperate
star differs from the other in glory-in
he inward universe, one single spirit
the life of God-peryades each separate
soul; and just in proportion as that life
becomes exalted, docs it enable every one
to shine forth in the distinctness of his
own separate Individuality, like the stars
in the FAR blue heavens.

HUMoR AND ELooUENcE.-Gen. Ut
ley, of the Racine Journal, has homely
way of being eloquent as we'll as humor-
Gus. OF himself he says:
1--WE have now been a man, sort of
a man, not so much ms We might or
ought 10 have been, but more perhaps
than many expected. We have been our
own man for long time, but we have
never performed the wonderful deeds
promised us by hope. We have fought
the battle Of life for great number of
years, but not with the success that hope
fiattered us should be ours. The enemy
are great deal more numerous, and bet
ter posted and more strongly fortified
than we expected when drawing infant
plans. We have run the first three quar-
tiers OF the race Of life, and are now just
turning into the homo stretch. little
bowed, with limbs little shakey, and
the chance of winning heavy stake very
slim, though the courage TO press forward
is good; and those who started out with
us in the race, some few are ahead; and
thousands have fallen out or are behind.
This is not to the swift. there is no tell
ing who will come out ahead; the nearer
We get to the end of the ruce the less at
tractive the stakes appear.

HwOmen of the War;,

History will neglect great duty if it
fails to give Women their proper place in
its annals. Among heroes true and self
sacrificing, they stand brave as the brsv-
est general who waved his gaudy plume
in the face of the enemy. As Angels Of
Mercy, they ever administered to the
wants of the soldier, whether on the field
or in the hospital, and saved many lives
by their untiring devotion to the sick and
wounded; and when Death stubborn and
grim, claimed It's victim, in spite of hu
man effort to restore, they gently smooth
ed their pillows aud closed their eyes as
they sank to their eternal rest.
Zeigler, McCurdy g. Co., of Chicago,
are publishing book with the above IT,
tie and we have assurances that it will
be work worthy the subject, We shall
notice it fully on receipt of copy. 1t is
highly proper that such a book should be
written, aud if it is as attractive, interest
ing, and patriotic as it should be, will
meet want Of the people.
Heroic and daring men have always
found ready historians to record their
brilliant achievements, with here and
there an isolated example of feminine for
titude. Other wars have given US the
sublime sacrifice of Florence Nightingale
the devotion of the Spartan Mothers, the
heroic tenderness of the youthful wife
Gertrude, the bold, impetuous zeal of
Joan D'Arc, but DO war has been 50 full
of noble aud phianthropic devotion, lof-
ty and enduring patriotism and genuine
self sacrifice of women as ours.
The History Of thc War would never
be complete without q record of this no
bic hand Of women. They DO not figure
in official reports; they are not gazetted
for deeds rs gallant as ever done; the
names of thousands are unknown beyond
the neighborhood where they live, or the
hospitals where they loved to labor, yet
there is no feature in our war more cred
table to us as n nation, none, from its
positive ncwness, SO well worthy of rec
ord,

A Great Newsp aper Establish
meHr,

The New York Tribune publishes a
financial exhibit of its business for the
wears 1865 anil ls66, from which it APP
pears that the total receipts from all
sources in the former year were S8l6,
537 OF. and in the latter, $909,4l769
The expenditures in 1865 were $685.
I07, l6, and in 1866, 1885, l5s 80, leav-
ing balance in the former of $lT0.429
sc, and in the latter of only S24.259.5O.
The comparatively small profits of 1866
are accounted for by the fact that heavy
expenditures were made IN tue enlarge
ment of tho paper aud other improve
ments. The receipts from advertising
for 1865 amounted to 1901, 966, II and
in 1866 to S350,246.60. The aggregate
increase of circulation in 1860 was A.
900, aud the total number Of subscriptions
received in the first two weeks of the
present year over 10000. Some idea
may be formed from these figures of the
immense cost of sustaining large news
paper establishment. There is no other
paper in the world that can show so largo
a circulation, and probably no other be-
side the London Times can show so heavy
a balance sheet, though others can un-
doubtedly show larger profits.
