So near is grandeur to our dust, '' N
 So near is God to man,
 When duty whispers low, thou must,
 The youth replies, can.
 Though love repine and reason chafe, There comes a voice without reply, ,
 'Tis mans perdition to be safe, =
 When for the truth he ought to die. It was at such time, in such 8 necessity, and upon such an invitation that Nathan Hale went upon his fatal errand, and went, no vulgar spy for hire, but consecrated apostle of duty-a duty, I repeat. which kept him within the sanctions of authority and law, while it rose above all the obliga- ions of both. Was I not right then in saying that in this regard Hale's sacrifice has an excellent merit
 Then again, if you would get just view of this mans martyrdom and sound 1t to its depths, there is one other thing which I must throw into the foreground. I have already hinted at it. It is the appalling desolation and the still more appalling ig- nominy of his suffering. What is there in all the possibilities of human misfortune SO bordering on utter wretchedness and de- spair as to die at the hands of common hangman in the midst of ones enemies, Q victim to their utmost malice? What oth- CT cup so mingled with gall and wormwood?
 Those who fall in battle 'at the edge of the sword, go not to death in this wise, but strengthened by multitudinous companion ships in peril, melted by soldierly rivalries and ambitions, by the epic grandeurs of war, the rolling drum, the shouting of captains, the horses running to battle. These things lift brave men, base men of ten, towards sometimes, into great attitudes of courage But this man-mark the sharp ness of the contrast-this man entered alone and unbefriended upon his mission of peril alone and unbefriended he trod the path and death, and he bore its cross as heroically as if some pitying angel had bent down from the pitying heavens and strengthened him in his travail.

Gen. Hoods Children.

Mr.. Russell, a wealthy Missis-
slppi planter, who is at Rock
bridge Alum Springs, with his
wife, has with him also an adopt-
ed child, II years old, who is a
son of the late Gen. John B,
Hood. Of the Hood children,
the two eldest daughters were
taken by Mr.. MauRS, a relative
of Mrs. Hood, and are now be-
ing educated in Germany with
his daughters. John B. Hood,
Jr., the oldest boy, is the one
adopted into the family of Mr..
Russell. A pair Of twin girls
are adopted children of a Mr..
Adams, of New York another
pair of twin girls are in the
family of Mr.. Mckee, of Missis-
sippi another boy, Duncan by
name, is the adopted child of q
wealthy maiden lady Of New
York, and another, Oswald, is
in the family of another New
Yorker, residing near the empire
city. Thus have the fatherless
been cared for. A singular CO.
incidence is related in connec-
ton with three of the gentle
| men who have th,,c takon tba
place of fathers of these inter-
esting children. Messrs. Russell,
Adams and Mckee were class
mates at Yale College. They
are all married, but have no chill
dren. Without concert of action,
or even knowing what the 9th
ers were about to do, each APP
piled for and was given the
charge he now has.

changes. Speculative orders from the ont
side we're extremely light, not only in pro-
visions, but in grain, and the great bulk of
the transactions were on local account.
The shipping demand continues good, and
the shipments are reported as fully up to
last year at this time, with some improve
ment noted from Europe, especially for
meats for Germany for prompt shipment,
the recently passed edict not going into
effect until thirty days after its publica-
ton, and no one on this side of the water
has yet been informed of its official pub
LEGATION, so that extra exertions are making
to hurry the product through. There
were also some foreign in
qulr1es for lard, our mar
ket being now as low as New York, the
latter city filling most export orders for
some time past, owing to the fact that that
was the cheapest market. The South con-
tinues to buy quite freely, and there could
have been much more product sold during
the week than there was for immediate
delivery, but packers were not willing
sellers on the breaks. On two or three oc-
casions during the week the bears raided
the market and forced a moderate break in
values, but there did not seem to be any
trouble experienced in regaining lost
ground, indicating that the market could
hardly be called weak one, notwithstand-
ing the average of prices was some lower
than last week.
It is safe to say that the arri-
walls of hogs will have much
do in shaping values the coming few
months. Any marked increase over last
year will tend to depress values, bat unless
we do get more hogs low prices are out of
the question. The consumers took the
product freely last year at high prices, and
they will do the same this year unless they
have increased supplies to draw from.
Whether they will or not remains to be
seen.
Meanwhile the hog market is booming,
an advance of or 10 cents being made
almost daily. Only four thousand arrived
to-day, and the choicest lots brought $3.50.

VERY QUIET AT BOSTON AFTER MIDNIGHT.
BOSTON, Mass, March 1.-The somewhat
unusually high tide at noon to-day and
alarming predictions as to the next high

The weather is cloudy, with rather high
and gusty wind.
READY WITH AN ARK.
