amid Borrowing or shmshine, tears o,
smiles, the Mecca of our pilgrimage must
be won. AS survivors of tho "Iost
Cause" let lis bow to the decree of ON
impotence, and with virtuous zeal fill up
the measure of our days, i'll pursuing tho
cn1s Of peace and usefulness; and learn
this tyu,h-cnourb for man to know
Nir'nc alone is happiness below,
One self approving hour whole years outwcighs
OF stupid saren, and of loud huzzas."
And now would ask if there is an
occasion that cnlists the attention of man,
that can with safety exclude the sympa-
thy of the gentle sex? Is there an aim
OF life that has n noblcr incentive than
woman's approval? Is there Il hope that
is not mercenary without her favor
Nay except we arc animated with pur-
poses that lay every duty tributory to her
claims, VIC forfeit TINT refined manhood
that owes everything to her influence
and worth. Whether it is her smile,
that is the plaudit to urge lis on in the
race OF lie, OF; her tears that arc the last
waning lights that follow to the tomb,
she is the holy link that binds about our
carnal nature, the taliSman of virtuous
hopes, and the guide star" amid this
waste of trouble. Here arc they, whose
busy fingers, ccasclcss prayers, and dtruapt
tears were theattcndnnts of every bvouac

who, with Spartan pride, send forth the

There is a spot Of Garth snrrcmciy bIc@.;

a lecturer, whose name VIC suppress
because we do not want him bothered to
death by applications from Lecture
Bureaus, was recently addressing rural
audience. On using the word "phcnomc-
non" he saw Mt once that he had flown
too high, and that his meaning was not
visible to the naked intelligence Of the
spectators. With Il felicity that is rare
i'll gentlemen who receive only fifty dol
lars and their expenses, he proceeded to
explain. Ut is possible" he remarked,
that you don't know what q Dhcnomc-
non is. Well, l will tell yqn. You
have seen COW, no dobt. Well, COW
is not Il phenomenon. You have seen an
applc-trcc. Well, an apple-trcc is not

only applause he got that evening, came

how genius is misunderstood The next
day the village newspaper came out with
calstic attack on the gentleman for say

applc-trc! This reminds us of the re-
porter of the Lopdpn times, who, in re-
