ERASE THE DEAD LINE.

Fife Has No Limit for Those Who KncSv
 How to Live.
 The dGification of youth in which tho poets are in the habit of indulging, and which is due mainly to pagan ideal, makes life an anti-climax. Probably if the popular impression of old age were taken it would be represented rather by the very partial and inadequate picture Of the cynical writer of Ecclesi. astes than by the beautiful old Greek figure of life as matched house in which the child is born, and under the roof of which his nature expands. the house all the while growing more frag. ile, until at last it sinks crumbling to the ground. and the man stands erect in the everlasting sunlight If life were purely matter of freshness and delicacy of physical sensa. tion, it would culminate early, and de. cline through long aftermath of de caying powers and sinking vitality. Such an idea of human destiny can be held only by those who have no spirit ual faith, or who have wasted and squandered their own force. Life was meant to be cumulative; to add, year by year, strength, experience and cour. age, each successive stage ntributing it's own special acces sion, and the whole structure reaching it's completion in the serenity and calmness of age. No man ought to be willing to recog- nize any dead line in his life, or to look forward to any time when he shall cease to grow. Life ought to he, for every healthy nature, one quenchless thirst for achievement, experience and expansion. No limits are set to the human soul, although time keeps sharp registry against the human form. In this century some of the greatest things have been done by old men; men who have declined to stop and step out of the ranks, and who have gone on adding strength to strength and service to service until old age has become the fruitful harvest in October, and not the bleak barrenness | of December. Physical infirmaties are not to be warded on by an effort of will, but no man need decline because his on many forms, and it can still persist when the same senses have begun to fail. It is great gain to banish from our thoughts the ideal of life which fixes it's best period at the begin Ae 4S O BIO6V OAAuS IO 4OOA forward to ever-increasing gain l to think always of leading and advancing, never of retiring and re treating. The charming old woman who began to study painting after she was sixty years old is a capital Illustration of the spirit in which we ought all tc take hold of life. There are few who like the great Doge of Venice, car climb the wall of be sieged city at the head of an attacking force beyond the age of ninety, but there is no one who need settle down to decline and decay because youth is past. Life has nc
 mits for those who know how to live and the joy of it lies in moving witt the tide and keeping at the front unti the time comes when there is greater and higher opportunity elsewhere = l Christian Union

 It was soon discovered that they were
 yunboats, but not of the Federal navy.
 They passed near by and anchored little farther down in the middle of the river.
 This was the remnant of Confederate
 feet that had retreated up the river upon the fall of Mobile.
 On returning, we passed very near these
 vessels, but those on board seemed as quiet and orderly as if attending a funeral. Pretty soon a whole fleet of transports aove in sight, and it was learned that these, with the gunboats and all other Confeder- ate property of a military character, had Iew days previous been surrendered by General Richard Taylor, the Confederate Department Commander, to General Canby, representing the United States Govern menk

Sayings of Q Philosopher Who KaOwa
 What He Is Talking About.
 Discomfort destroys grace.
 Dress changes the manners.
 Taste is the fact of the mind.
 Woman is loveliest in woman1y attire. Men make laws, women make man. ners.
 Modesty is the conscience of the body. Time is the microscope of the judg- ment
 With time and patience the mulberry leaf becomes satin.
 There is something of woman in every thing that pleases.
 The greatest evidence of demoralixa- tion is the respect paid to wealth.
 One can not imagine how much cleverness is necessary not to be ridicul- ous A woman would be in despair If ma. ture had formed her as fashion makes her appear. A woman whose ruling passion is not vanity is superior to any man of equal capacity.
 There are three things that women throw away-their time, their money and their health. ..
 The change of fashion Is the tax that the industry of the poor levies on the vanity of the rich. The wealthiest ono is the one who ia most economical; the poorest, the one who is most miser1y.
 The error of certain women is to i'm. agine that to acquire distinction they must initiate the manners of mon.
 The knowledge of the charms enc possesses prompts one to utilize them. can not see why women are so desir ous of initiating men.-Atlanta Con l stitution.

SECTION XXL-SURRENDER OF THE CONFEDERATE ARMIES-INCIDENT
 ATTENDING THE CLOSE OF THE
 LAST CAMPAIGN.
 At the opening of the spring campaign in 1885, the four main armies of the Con- federates were: Army of Northern Vir- ginia, under General Robert E. Lee, occu- pied in the defense of Richmond and Pe- tersburg; Army of the Tennessee, under General Joseph E. Johnston, confronting sherman in the Carolinas; Army of the Trans Mississippi, under General E. Kirby Smith, with headquarters at Shreveport, La, and Army of Alabama, under General Richard Taylor, principally at Mobile, Ala
 The Army of Northern Virginia surren- dered April 9 to General Grant at Appo- mattox; the Army of the Tennessee sur rendered to General Sherman April 26. The Army of the Trans-Mis ssissippi, having had pretty much its own way in Texas and Western Louisiana since Banks Red-river campaign, one year before, was exceeding ly 10th to yield to the Government of the
