The Ra.:;f ~ Life.

Go forth to the battle Of lie, my boy,
Go while IL is called to-day;
For the years go out, and the years come 10,
Regardless Of those who may lose or win
OF those who may work or play.
And the troops march steadily on
TO the army gone before;
You NAV hear the sound Of their falling feet,
Going down to the river where the two world
meet
They go 10 return no more.
There is room for you in the ranks,
And duty, too, assigned
SteD into the front with cheerful grace
Be quick, or another nay take your place,
And You may be lett behind.
There ia work to do By the way
That Won never can tread again;
Work for the loftiest lowest men
Work for the pillow, adze, spindle and pen.
Work for the hands and the BRAN.
The serpent will follow your steps,
TO lay for your feet a snare
And Pleasure sit IN her fairy bowers.
With garlands o. poppies aud lotus flowers
Enwreathing her golden hair.
Temptations will wait by the way,
Temptations without and within;
And spirits Of evil in robes rs fair
As he hottest angels in heaven wear,
Will lure you to deadly sin.
Then put on the armor OF God
In the beautiful days Of youth
Put on tue helmet, breastpate and shield,
And the sword that the feeblest arm maywiel,
IN the cause of right and truth
Aud 90 TO the battle OF life, my boy,
With the peace OF the gospel shod,
And, before high heaven, do the best YOU car
For the great reward, for the good of man,
For the kingdom and crown of God.

Two Millions as a Gift.

The Pittsburg Penn Gazette SAYS
The sentimental gentleman who wrote
who steals my purse steals trash may
have been telling the frozen truth in
regard to his own wallet, but if he
wanted to make Of the sentiment a
general principle he certainly must not
have had in his minds eye such
purse as that which young lady in
Allegheny has recently-not stolen
but inherited. A nice little wallet of

character that most people, like
Artemus Ward, would endeavor 'to

Mckee, OF Allegheny, has just entered
her twentieth year, and signalizes it by
taking possession of fortune estimated
at about $4,000, 900, which her father
the late Thomas Mckee, of Ale

immense estate to his only daughter.
The estate embraces, first, over 200
acres of valuable land near Harrisburg.
The deceased inherited this from his
father, John Mckee, who in turn had
it from William Penn. The elder
Mckee also obtained many other pos
sessions by virtue of his relations with
William Penn and the Indians, among
them hundreds of acres of lands in
Allegheny county, to which place he
removed from Harrisburg between
the years OF 1850 and 1890. John
Mckee had three some, the last of
