A Boys Purpose.

When Warren Hastings was lad
only seven years old, he lay one day be-
side little rivulet that flowed on toward
the River Isis, and there he formed the
purpose which was his guiding star
through life. His parents were in re-
duced circumstances, but descended
from noble family. The boys ambi
tion was to win back the lost estate of
his ancestors-to make Daylesford his
own. To this purpose he steadily adj
hered. Every aim and effort of his boy
hood was associated with this purpose.
IT seemed like the romantic day.dreams
OF boy, very likely never TO be zeal.
ized. The young Hastings sat on the
same bench in the village rchool with
the peasant children with whom he
played, and TO an outward observer
there was little to distinguish him from
the rest. But the world in the bows
heart was as different from their hopes
and asplring' as if he belonged TO an.
other planet. He held on to this great
lfe-purpose of winning back his family
lands all through his youth and man.
hood. Through his checlxered life. his.
tory this was like star ever leading
him on. And success at last crowned
ms efforts. lie was able to buy the
beautiful fields and parks of his ances.
tofs, and rebuild the mansion and here
the last days of his toilsome life were
spent.
You may become what you will if YOU
only work Tor it with all the powers
uod mas given you. Choose, then, some
worthy ambition. Do not let it be
riches or honor among men, or anything
that the Lord does not esteem. Choose
some great, noble purpose on which
you can ask His blessing. Then work
Tor 1t with all your might, and you will
not fail of the victory.

THE Turkish army numbers about
400, 900 men, considerably less than half
of the standing army of Russia. The
men are OF good size, hardy and muscu-

be capable of any lofty esprit az corps.
The personnel of the Turkish rank and
file is, doubtless, however, fully equal to
that of the Russian troops. The pri-
vate in the army of the Sultan is not
one whit inferior, physically or men

little TO choose between them.
