ouppOs1ng tnat the heaviest fighting
must be upon the Nehrung, he rode his
horse in that direction, and when he
reached it he found that he had not
been mistaken. Upon slight eminence
toward Hagelsberg, the enemy had
planted battery of heavy guns, sup
ported by two regiments of infantry;
and already with shot and shell immense
damage had been done.
Marshal Lefebvre rode up shortly
after this battery had opened, and quick
ly made up his mind that it must be
taken at all hazards.
"Take that battery" he said to a
colonel of cavalry, "and the battle is
Ours"
Dubois heard the order, and saw the
necessity. Here was danger enough,
surely; and, determined to be the first
at the fatal battery, he kept as near to
the leader az he dared.S Half the dis
lance he had gained, when from the hill
came storm of iron that plowed into

upon it.

One of the eNtremest reaches Of friend.
ship is the trusting your friend unhesita-
tingly with yonr eontidences-speaking tc
him at all times on all themes without any
fear that he will betray CT misuse the pri-
vaces thus committed to him. Many a
man can be trusted with yonr purse, OF
your life, or your honor, who cannot be
trusted with your confidence. He would
not intentionally defraud or dCtamc you
he would perhaps risk his reputation or
his life to guard yours; but he will
thoughtlessly speak to Others of that which
you have told him rs your friend, and
which no one but himself ought to know.
1t is indeed but rarely that n friend is
found who can be safely and always trust
ed in that direction. II requires good
judgment on his part, rs well as unvary-
ing thoughtfulness and absolute fidelity, to
make him worthy of such restlul trust on
your part. Many Il man suffers sadly
through the disclosure of his condolences
by one who claims and really intends to
be his truest and best friend. In fact, the
very term gossip" meant originally
persons who were "of kin together
through Cod" and it was applied to
"sponsors for an infant in baptism. Be-
cause such persons used to talk freely to
each other, and then about each other, on
the strength of their spiritual relationship,
their manner of betraying condolences
or counsaills "-came to be called "gos-
slipping" He who can always speak free
ly to Il friend without the necessity of
cautionng him not TO mention this thing
or that to another, has friend whom he
can trust absolutely. He who would prove
himself faithful friend must have always
q care for his friends wishes and welfare
in the use he makes of what he has learn
ed of or from that friend. One of the
truest tests. of his friendship is his treat
ment of his friends condolences.
