Lessons from the Army.


In the army, with its vague and few
and distant rewards, there may be and
there are rivalries in devotion and dar
ing, but there Is no competition fol
place and money as there is in civil
life; and yet the soldiers ideal being
duty, the performance of duty seems
sufficient 1t Is a state Of things which
can suggest much tothose who are fond
Of bafning the hope Of better things in
US with the assertion that Il 10 contrary
to human nature 10 act from any but
interested and selfish motives. Human
nature is a great mystery, and we have
not yet begun to solve it. but it appears
that a number Of men drawn at ran
dom from society, and trained to a be
lief in duty as the chief good. viii keep
on not only living il but dying it.
We civilians talk much, VI almost
talk solely Of u rights but in the
army it seems that men talk chiefly Of
their duties, when they talk at all, and
never Of their rights. These things are
true of all ranks; the ideal is the same
from the private 10 the general, and it
seems to correct all the mistaken ten
denotes of the time before they became
