|idng this good, work, if they would
|nly keep their boys at home after

Dem, and if parents take no trouble
caring for their boys, when young,
hey will certainly have much trou-
Pc when they are older. The street

sermon which had any connection with the life
and character of General Grant, but preceded
his sermon with tho following remarks
The career Of General Grant affords the great
est encouragement for the children of poor
parents in this country. 1t is not necessary for
me to give you his life's hstory--to remind you
that he became the greatest military chieftain of
his country ard aee-that he handled
larger armies than any other general
ever did-that he to the highest
position in the army OF the United States ever
occupied by any man; that he was twice elected
by the people of this Nation President of these
United States; that he has received hg CHER honors
from more nations of the earth than any other
man ever did, and that his death has caused a
more general sorrow round the globe than that
of any other man; nor that he was the
son of poor parents He was born in a
log cabin OF a farm One morning his mother
sent him to a neighbor's to borrow some butter
for breakfast. And being very pushing little
fellow, and well acquainted with the family, he
rushed, boy fashion, without knocking; and he
happened to hear the father reading a letter
from his son who had received the appon tment
to West Point, telling them that he had failed in
his examination and would start home in day
two He took the butter home, and without
waiting for breakfast, ran off with ali his might
to the congressman from that district. Rushing
into that house as he had done into the other,
he exclaimed all out of breath, Mr.. Hamer, will
you appoint me to West Pointp No" was the
answer young Johnson is there, and there will
be no vacancy there for this district for three
years" But suppose he should fail in the
examination. will you appoint mel" Mr.. Hamer
laughed and said. ''f he doesn't get through, it
will De no for you to try, Uly." But prom
Use me that you will at least give me the chance,
anyhow Mr. Hamer promised, meyer think
ing that he would be called upon to fulfill it. But
in a day or two the defeated lad came home; and
the congressman, laughing at Uly's sharpness
and, in fact, pleased by it, gave him the APP
pontment. Speaking of this, not long ago.
General Grant said that his mothers being out
of butter that morning was the first link in the
chain of circumstances which ended in making
him President of the United States, and com
mander in-chief of our armies. But even after
this, he made very precarious living for many
years. And yet this is the man the world is
mourning for to-day In other country
could a Lad from log cabin on a little farm rise
to such heights.
He had some traits Of character that were
excellent that cannot forbear referring to them.
No one ever heard him utter repeat
profane or vulgar word. 1t is exceedingly COM
mon for politicians, and especially for soldiers
