You smile one minute and feel your eyes
clOuding up for rain the next. Men of all
parties. union and confederate soldiers
could listen to this lecture without feel
ing that its author had touched his harp
To any notes but that Of simple patriotism
and manly reverence for the canOnized
bones of both the blue and he gray. Alto
gether Col. NisScher's lecture is worthy
of praise aS a work Of art: il is not pie
ture of tragedy. but rather of a comedy.
In which pathOs and humor are
blended as in RIP Van Wrinkle. .
where every note Of the gamut
Of human sentiment is reached
save that Of tragic passion. and in this we
think Colonel Nisscher is wise: he does
not conceal the fact that the war was a
tragedy. but he prefers To keep its inevita-
BILE brutality in the background. and to
bring to the front of his picture those
tender lights of sentiment and pathos
that burned before battle and after battle
at every campfire from the Potomac and
the Ohio Ia the gulf ON the south. from
the Chesapeake To the Mississippi on the
west. Mr.. Nisscher sees that there were
some things on both sides that belonged
like poetry. 10 no section but to mankind:
he sees and sets forth that even when the
union and cor federate armies marched To
different music. there were times when all
hearts. no matter what the tune was. sang
OF love, OF home. of hope aud of heaven.

CONCERNING coLLEoE MEN

These are the times when colleges turn

after which a large number Of Young men
pervade the country hunting for some
thing to do, but without practical knoNI-

anything aud frequently things which the
police get angry about. And this leads 10
the question. Does college training pay?''
