AN AIM.

Give me man with an aim,
Whatever that aim may be,
Whether it's wealth, or whether it,:
fame, e.. .- .-.. -
1t matters not to me.
Let him walk in the path of right,
And keep his aim in sight,
And work and pray in faith Away
With his eye OH the glittering height
Give me man who says,
"I will do something well,
And make the fleeting days
A story of labor tell"
Though the aim lie has be small,
1t is better than none at all
With something to do the whole yeal
through,
He will not stumble or fall.
But Satan weaves snare
For the feet of those who stray,
With never q thought or care
Where the path may lead away.
The man who has no aim,
Not only leaves no name
When this life is done, but ten to one,
He leaves a record of shame.
Give me man whose heart
Is filled with ambitions fire., .
Who sets his mark in the start,
And keeps moving it higher and high
er. .. ..... ....
Better to die in the strife,
The hands of labor rife,
Than to glide with the stream in an idle
dream,
And live purposeless life.
Better to strive and climb
And never reach the goal,
Than to drift along with time
An aimless, worthless soul. "
Ay, better to elm b and fall,
Or sow, though the yield be small,
Than to throw away day after day,
And never strive at all.

A NOBLE LETTER.
General Lees Counsel to his Son.

During the war Northern papers
published the following excellent and
characteristic private letter from
Generel Lee to- his son Custis, the
original of which was found among
the papers which were purloined
from Arlington. It is interesting, and
although written many years ago
will we'll repay perusal: ~
ARLINGTON HOUSE, April 5, 1852.
Ny, Dear Son: l am in the act of
leaving home for New Mexico. My
fine old regiment has been ordered to
that distant region, and Imust hasten
to see that they are properly taken
care of. I have but little to add in
reply to yours of March 26, 81 and 20.
Your letters breathe spirit of frank
ness. They have given myself and
your mother great pleasure. You
must study to be frank with the
world; frankness is the child;of hon
csty and true courage. Say what
you mean to do on every occasion,
and take it for granted you mean to
do right If a. friend asks favor
you should grant it if reasonable if
not, tell him plainly why you cannot
you will wrong him and you will
wrong yourself by equivocation Of
any Kind, Never do a wrong thing
to make friend or to keep one; the
man who requires you to do SO is dear.
ly purchased at sacrifice, Deal
kindly but firmly with your class
:~::atcs; you will find itthc policy that
wears best. Above all, do not appear
to others what you arc not. Ii you
have any fault TO find with any ore
tell him, not others, Of what you
complain; there is no more danger
Gus experiment than that of under
taking to be>one: thing before a.man's
face and another behind his back
We should live, act, and say nothing
to the injury Of any one. It is not
only best as matter Of principle, but
is the path TO truth and honor. In
regard TO duty, let me, in conclusion
Of this hasty letter, inform you that
nearly one hundred years ago there
was day OF remarkable gloom and
darkness, still known as the dark
day; day wien the light of the sun
was slowly extinguishcd as if by an
eclipse. The Legislature of Connec-
ticut was in session, and, as it's men,
bcrs saw the unexpected and unac-
countabIe darkness coming on they
shared in the. general awe and terror.
It was supposed by many that the
last day-the day Of judgment-had
come. Some one, in the consterna,
tion of the hour, moved an adjourn
mcnt. Then there arose an old Puri-
tan legislator, Davenport Stanford
who said that. if the last day had
como he desired to be found at his
place doing his duty, and therefore
moved that candles be brought so
the house could proceed with its duty.
There was quictncss in the old mans
mind-tho qnictness Of heavenly
wisdom-an inllcxiblc willingness to
obey present duty. Duty, then, is
the sublimcst word in our language.
Do your duty in all things, like, tho
old Puritan. You can do more; you
should never wish to do less. Never
let mo and your mother wear one
gray hair for any lack of duty on
your part 'sit i.'. -'
Your affectionato father.

try, and best Of all, woman, earth's
purest jewel; she too has a place in

she could, by no means, be discarded
from its mysteries. At the regular

lowing code of bylaws was junani-
mously adopted; and. in accordance
with a resolution passed, instructing
the Secretary to furnish a copy for
