How He MUST SUPFgR.-Jef. Davis in
speech made at Richmond in Febru-
airy, 1865, speaking of the then Confed-
crate cause and firing up the Southern
heart, said
"SooneY than we should ever be united
again, / would be willing to yield up
everything have on earth, and, if it
were possible, would sacrifice my life a
thousand times before wpuld sue.
cumb."
Now, inasmuch as JEFF. had an excel
lent opportunity to sacrifice his life, but
preferred to be made prisoner in petit
coats, and now is alive, and, thanks to
Greeley and few other friends, is at
liberty to go where he pleas,s, we are
forced to the conclusion that be must be
suffering intense anguish in consequence
of being 10 Il sort compelled ID live. He
would have preferred to die just nine
hundred and ninety nine times more
than he will have to, rather than be
obliged to live and see what he has seen
the country united and himself made
to succumb. We shall expect when this
new phase Of Jetf.'s distress Is brought
to Greeley's notice that he will devise
some fresh means of relief for the suffer
ing rebel chief.

hint At this moment man lay down
at his full length, with nearly half OF his
body hanging over the top OF the bridge.
He lowered looped rope within reach
OF the fainting youth, who was now just
able to place 1t over his head, and then
under each arm. And now Ia was seen
swinging over the fearful height, while
those from above gently raised him TO
| the top As he came up one OF the crowd
on the top OF the bridge seized him In
his arms, and held him up to the view OF
the rest, while the shout He's safe !
he's safe !" was heard above and below.
How great was the joy OF his parents
and how indescribsble his own feelings
as he thought OF the dangers he had
passed do not know whether Jim
Waugh knelt down that night to thank
the Lord hope he did; but OF this am
certain, that he never again attempted
TO climb the Natural Bridge.
| You have listened to my story, chill
dren now attend to what / have yet
to say. Some of you, boys, are good
climbers; but high as you have ascend.
I'D, you have not climbed as high, nor
did Jim Waugh, as some of whom ] have
| heard, who wished to cut their names
| higher than others in the world, and
sought to reach lofty places Of earthly
| renown. Shall | tell you about some of
| them
King Solomon climbed till his head
grew dizzy. He withheld his heart from
no JOY" Then, as ne returned to God,
from whom he had wandered, he said OF
laughter, st is mad" and of mirth,
What doeth it 2" of all his climbing,
at is vanity and vexation of spirit"
Severus, Emperor OF Rome, climbed
from low position to the highest PIN
nacle OF earthly greatness. Then, he
said when he saw his end approaching,
II have been everything, and everything
is nothing"
Alexander the Great was another high
climber, and when he had attained to
the throne of the world, he wept be-
cause there were no more worlds to con-
quer.
Louis XIV, King of France, climbed
to an extraordinary height in the mad
pursuit after happiness. He died in
the deepest anguish OF soul on his royal
bed.
Napoleon Bonapsrte inscribed his
name above al the kings of the earth,
reached Waterloo, and fell broken
hearted on st. Helena.
Now, my dear children, I must close
these remarks, or you will get tired of
listening to me. We sometimes say of
man, "He makes his mark :" and hope
that as You grow up, you will make
your mark; but instead of cutting a
name for yourself in the world, you
should rather try to do little good, in
an humble way, as you pass through it.
l would rather have my name in letters
Of love and gratitude in the heart of
poor orphan child or afflicted widow,
than on the proudest statue or Hottest
rock that stands on the earth.
