The Life Sf Gruut-Its Lesson,

The lesson Of Grants life is that,
wherever we are placed, we are doing
our highest and best political work
when we are doing the work nearest
at hand and to which we have been
specially asaigned; that there is nd
such servant of the country as he who
keeps his mind steadily fixed on what
he knows to be his business. When
Grant took command ola regiment et
the outbreak Of the war, he did moth
ing but command it to tile best Of his
ability. When he got command of an
army, he did nothing and thought OF
nothing but commanding an army.
When he was made commander in
chief, he gave his mind to the duties
of that office, and to nothing else. He
kept his gaze fixed on his books, pa
Hers and reports, instead of taking
surveys of the country and the world.
Or getting up "views" on reconstruc-
tion or universal suffrage, Being a
soldier he tried to be the best kind of
a soldiet simply, and not a mongrel
politician, with newspapers, docrments
and drafts of speeches in his pock-
cts of a uniform coat. What temptation
an American soldies has torcsist who
pursues this course, we may infer from
The example of General Mcclellan.
When that unlicky personagc found
himself driven back on Harrison's
Landing after those awful days of Ju-
ly, 1862, with an army perishing by
inches in his hands, the nation look
ing on in agony, and the world in sus-
pensc, with every induccment that was
ever applied to human being urging
him to concentrate all his faculties on
the dreadful game before him, he re-
tired TO his tent and wrote out, for Mr.
Observation-Disclosures. his'"views" on the
state of the country--old "views'' too,
with which he had probably been
esammed month previously by
New York politicians. 1t was
one of tile inost ludicrohs in
incidents military history, but there
was nevertheless something very pa
thetic about it. 1t meant not that he
wilfully neglected his own work to
meddlc with other peoples, but that,
being weak-brained and overmatched,
he turned readily for relief to che of
the commonest ihdn'g genccs cf the day.
1t was so pleasant and easy to show
Mr.. Lincoln on paper how to govern
the conGtry at large so hard TO with
Stand the terrible Ec- aid his rebels
on the other side of the hill.i And he
made his account by it. A large por-
ton of the public hailed it as a lucky
stroke, and the Harrison's Landing
letter bccalhe "Stac paper."--Na-
