The first of the week the doctors
were encouraged about Gen. Grant.
and hoped that his life might be
spared for sometime. But early on
Tuesday morning a very unfavorable
change took place in his condition
there was hemorrhage from an ar
terry in the throat, and it was evident
that the end was drawing nigh.
Through the day his mind was
clear and calm, and he was prepared
to meet his end with the COURAGE
and faith of christian. The doe
tors did not expect him to live out
the night, but the symptoms were
more favorable by morning although
there is no hope of his recovery.
Thus is passing away the life of
one of Americas greatest men.
Born in humble life, educated at
West Point, veteran of the Mexi-
can war; at the commencement ofour
civil war he offered his services to |
the Government. The history of his
military career, and subsequent ele.
walton to the Presidency is well
known. No citizen of the United
States was ever received abroad with
as much honor as General Grant.
The last years ofhis life have been
darkened by financial trouble and
loss, in which he was involved by no

The Rev. Charles Parkhurst
speaks Of work as follows: Work in
tenslfies our powers. 1t acts like a
voice that imperioasly commands our
scattered energies and marshals them
into a solid phalanx. The difference
IN men is not so much a disparity of
power. as a disparity of concentra-
tlon OF power. Work stops the dis
sipatlon of our powers and compress
ses themand so makes them stronger. |
Work enlarges our hearts and |
thoughts by holding us in close con-
tact with the current oflife about us. "

SOME of the inhabitant of the town
of Fair Haven, Illinois, finding that
the sin of profanity was becoming
unbearably popular in that town
formed themselves SeTO an anti-swear-

bound themselves by a solemn obli-
'rH''- Fl LinrN5stdiangnage for the
space Of one year, under penalty ofI
having to treat all the members to
any liquor they might choose to ask
for. The arrangement has an nm
pleasant flavor of the world and tbe
devil about it; but encourages us to
believe that even worldly devOtees
sometimes become disgusted with
the ribaldry and profanity that pois-
ons the air and creates a stencil on
our streets more offensive than the
pig-pens and cutters. 1t is a sin for /
which there is no excuse. and one in
