Thoughts for Leisure Hours.

Loving-kindness is greater than laws and the charities of life are more thar all ceremonies. - Idlnaud.
 Conquer myself. Till thou hast done that, thou art slave for it is almost as well to be in subjection to another'f appetite as thy own.-Batrton.
 Mind not much who is with thee, o1 who is against thee; but take care thai God may be with thee, in everything thou doest.-Ihon0s c Memphis.
 Most of the beatitudes which infinit compassion pronounced have the sor row of earth for their subject, but the joys of heaven for their completion 4. More.
 We are told that we must become as children to enter into the kingdom o1 heaven; methinks we should also be. come as children to know what delight there is in our heritage of the earth.- Bula0er Lytton.
 What had the life of Jesus been tc us, if we had only the record of his ser. mons, without the record of his going about doing good. I think the every. day life of Jesus touches the human heart more than the great truths which he uttered. Bishop Simpson.
 Truth and love are two-the most powerful things in the world; and when they both go together, they can not easily be withstood. The golder beams of truth and the silken cords o love, twisted together, will draw mer on with sweet violence, whether they will or no.-Ralph CudaOorth.
 It is the lives, like the stars, whicl simply pour down on us the calm ligh of their bright and faithful being, up te which we look, and out of which Vt gather the deepest calm and courage No man or woman of the humblest sor can really be strong, gentle, pure anc good without the world being better fol it, without somebody being helped anc comforted by the very existence of thai goodness. Phillips Brooks.
 It is not fasting, nor solitude, no1 monastic life, that will procure you eternal life, but only doing good. For get not the poor, nourish them. Be fathers to orphans. Be judges in the cause of widows, and do not let the powerful oppress the weak. Put te death neither innocent nor guilty. Dc not fear the lot of the impious. Desert not the sick. Abhor lying, drunkenness and debauchery. Endeavor constantly to obtain knowledge.-Russia'e, Q2tI Ce1tury.)

Fort Marion, St. Augustine.

This fort, constructed of shell con- glomerate, known as coquina stone, was begun in 1896, and, built by Indian labor, was finished in 1756. It is 8 model of the military engineering of the time of its construction, and when gar risoned by British troops, from 1763 to 1766, it was considered one of the finest fortresses in the British Possessions. It covers an acre of ground, and the vaulted rooms, opening off from the central square, furnish accommodations for 1000 men, and the fort will mount 100 guns. Over Fort Marion have waved the Span ish, English, Confederate and United States flags. The American flag was first raised above its battlements in 1921. In 1886, while a heavy gun was being mounted upon the northeast bastion, the terreplein fell in, and hith erto un suspected dungeon was revealed. Upon its floor lay human skeleton, chained to the wall by each wrist. When the military engineer descended into this dungeon he noticed large stone in the wall, which from it's own appearance and from the comparative newness of it's cement, had evidently not been a part of the original wall. On removing this stone the explorers entered second and smaller dungeon, and by the light of their lantern, saw two iron cages, one of which had fallen to the floor, but the other was still hanging by hook upon the wall. Each cage contained the skeleton of a human being, one of which had evidently been that of @ woman. For what crime, or unfortunately in- cured anger of one high in authority, or rash political aspirations these vic- tims had thus been walled up alive, will
 never be known.
 The thoughts that rush upon the
 mind of the visitor to these gloomy
 vaults make him long for the outer
 world, and when he once more sees the
 sunlight it is with feeling of glad re-
 lief. It is said that one of these cages,
 with its contents, which had been broken
 by its fall to the ground, was buried | near the 1OFb, Wuuo tu0 OIuer one was ) sent to the Smithsonian Institution. Il is believed, however, that it was not . allowed to remain in the museum long, . but was soon removed. An old ser geant living near by is the only guardian of the fort, as it's rooms are too damp tc be inhabited. Therefore the visitor is allowed to roam through it at will, an6 at night these parapets, which to within short time have rung to the "all' , well" of the sentinel for almost 20( 7 years, now faintly echo the murmuret
 words of fond ones lingering in the ten der moonlight-sensible people avoic the malarial night air and stay in hous
 -or in the glare of the sun the bastioneo angles are the subjects of these remarks But the Florida season is almost over l The warm sun is swinging towards tn
 North, and the visitors, like birds o l passage, are preparing to migrate. Sool . : great quiet will settle down upon tn
 ancient city and it's fort, and the door of the hotels and innumerable curios - ity shops will be closed, not to be agai opened until next November.

The New York Journal of Commerce thinks 'sthe soldier clement has dominated Ameri- can politics too long and too much, and it believes that the ''stupendous frauds about to be perpetrated under the Pension Arrears act will throw that element out of popular favor. It says: 'tFor sixteen years the sol dier clement has had everything pretty much it's own way. Generals and coIonels, by vir- tue of those titles (won in many cases by po- litical influence and by no merits of their own), have had the inside track in all the nominating conventions. They have received the best offices in the gift of the people. They have been the pets of administrations. Foreign missions, fat consulates, the most lucrative offices in the customs and internal revenue have been showered upon them. If the preponderance of the soldier clement elevated and purified the public service it would be welcome. No taxpayer, no man free from party shackles, would object to the presence of any element that would work such a charm. But the public service has been at no time more corrupt than since mill tary candidates have been in the ascendant. The effect was natural and inevitable; while men are allowed to claim and receive office not because they are honest and capable, but because they commanded corps, division or brigade some twenty years ago, no won- der that the civil service needs purging! No heathen has grovelled before fetich more humbly than politicians before the soldier clement This servile idolatry reached it's climax in that gigantic fraud, the Pension Arrears act" There is no question but that the favor with which the people have regard ed 'the soldier element" has been abused But it would have been greater disgrace to the country if that element had not been re- garded with favor
