A MAGIFICENT PREsENT.-Last

instructions.to appear that evening at

there surprised by meeting a number

ell him with q magnificent shooting
outfit, in the shape of neat case, hold
ing one of the new Parker double-bar
rel breach-loading sho guns, with fif-
ty nickel shell tubes, and all the vari-
! GUS pharaphernalia that such a weapon
can be furnished with. The case is
made for its contents, and these are all
of the finest workmanship, costing
5000. The Parker is the best gun ever
yet COTTON up for sportsmen, and the
presenters aptly called it "the pride
of his heart" knowing that Cogswell
can rightly appreciate such token Of
their esteem for him. We advise chick
ems, ducks, or any other game on our
prairies to lay close the rest of this
season.

preceding the firing on Sumter, the battles
OF Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg, Stone

Grant remarked, with some emphasis and
asperity, that Stone River was no victory,
that few such victories would have ruin

that perhaps he should not altogether agree
with him, but whatever might be the facts,
his singular dream preceded that fight.

To IoCNG MES.-President Porter, of
Yale College gave the following advice to
the students of that institution the other
day: Young men, you are the architects
of your own fortunes. Rely upon your
own strength of body and soul. Take for
your star self-reliance, faith, honesty and
industry. Inscribe on your banner Luck
is a fool, pluck is a hero" Don't take too
much advice-keep at your helm and steer
your own ship, and remember that the
great art of commanding is to take a fair
share of the work. Don't practice too
much humanity. Think well Of yourself.
Strike out. Assume your own position
Put potatoes in cart, over rough road,
and small ones go 10 the bottom. Rise
above the envious and jealous. Fire above
the mark you intend TO hit Energy, in
vincible determination, with right mo-
tive, are the levers that move the world
Don't drink. Don't chew. Don't smske.
Don't swear. Don't deceive. Don't read
novels. Don't marry until you can sup
port wife. Be in earnest. Be self-re-
liant. Be generous. BE civil. Read the
papers. Advertise your business. Make
money and do good with it. Love truth
and virtue. Love your country and obey
its laws. II this advice Is implicitly fol-
lowed by the young men of the country,
the millennium Is near at hand
