was no loss of life so far as reported,
although many persons were injured by
the awful impact of the hail stones.

a FArHER's ADVICE TO HIS SOW.
Baltimore, Feb. 25th. 1895.

FATHER s ADVICE TO HIS SON.
You must study to be frsnk with
the world; frankness is the child of
bravery and courage. Say what you
mean to do on every occasion. If a
friend asks favor, You should grant
it, if it be reasonable; if not, tell him
plainly why you cannot. You will
wrong him and wrong yourself by
equivocation Of any kind. Never do
wrong thing to make friend or to
keep one the man who requires you
to do so is dearly purchased at sac
rifco. Deal kindly but firmly with
your class mates; You will fiod it the
policy which wears best. Above all,
do not appear to others what you
are not.
If you have any fault to find with
anyone, tell him, not others, of what
you complain. There is no more
dangerous experiment than that of
undertaking to be one thing before a
mans face and another behind his
back. We should live, act and say
nothing to the injury of anyone. 1t
is not only best as q matter of prin-
ciple, but it is the path to peace and
honor.
In regard to duty, let me, in con-
clusion of this hasty letter, inform
you that nearly hundred years ago
there was a day of remarkable gloom
and darkness, still known as "the
dark day" a day when the light of
the sun was slowly extinguished, as
if by an eclipse. The Legislature Of
Connecticut was IN session, and its
members saw the unexpected and
unaccountable darkness coming on !;
they shared 10 the general awe and
terror. 1t was supposed by many
that the last day-the Day Of Judg.
ment-had come.
Some one, In the CONSERVATION of
the hour, moved an adjournment.
Then there arose an old Puritan
legislator, Davenport, of Stamford,
and he said that, if the last day had
come, he desired to be found at his
place doing his duty, and, therefore,
he moved that candles be brought in
SO that the House could proceed.
There was a quietness in that
mans mind, the quietness of heaven
ly wisdom ard inaexible willingness
to obey present duty. Duty, then,
is the sublimes, word in our Ian.
guage. Do your duty in all things
like the old Puritan YOU cannot do
more; you should rever wish to do
less.
Never let me or yoar mother wear
one gray hair for any lack of duty
on Your part. Your aAectionate

tederate Armies in America.
