We are doomed. It Is hard, as we
write in this dark, dismal night OF death,
not to realize the full meaning of that
brief sentence. It Is hard for any man
Of the few left in this city of sorrows
not TO take the sentence to himself with
painfully personal application as the
sentence Of death. Scarcely any are
left, but those who are crowding down
per sonal care in the noble purpose of
others good. To them death, IL it comes
will have the sweetening consolation
that it is brought by as noble service
as the God OF heaven, as the man on
earth ever looked upon. To die for man
is to initiate the grsndest event in the
history OF our globe. IL is TO initiate the
death OF the Savior Of the world. The

What to Teach the Boys.

1st. To be true 10 be geauinc. No
education is worth any thing that does
not include this. A man had better not

learn letter in the alphabet and be
true and genuine in intention and action
rather than being learned in all sciences
and in all languages, TO be, at the same
time, false in heart and counterfeit in
life. Above all things teach the boys
that truth is more than riches, more than
culture. more than any earthly power or
position.
