Tenderly touch its soft surface OF brown,

Out OF the far realms of silence and shade
Can you look down at the gown have madel
Can you remember when you, too, were

Little you dreamed that your warm cloak OF

Waiting stand, with smile and frown.
Doubling and glad, in my sweet mooish

Did all your fair, loving dreams come to pass
Ere you lay down under green growing grass!

And all hOmely virtues ana graces coine

Like sweet olden scents, for the grand

ADDRESS BIZ RABBIE. CALIsCH.
Commerce as a Maintainer ofpeace.


The annual address before Post A
of the Travellers Protective Associa
ton. was delivered before that body
in Beth Ahaba Synagogue in Rich
mond by Rabbi Edward N. Calisch.
He said a better division of history
than the arbitrary ones of ancient
and modern would be- an attempt f
outline the epochs of progrs,;.
suggestive division would 90 Tug age
of exclusion and tne age OF COIL
municatiou.n
| He srzAe of commerce as a peace
m.fntainer, and said that even in our
present crisis, our manifold COM
mercial relations with England would
do much to bring about an honorable
and peaceful settlement. He recalled
the fact that this month ends one full
century of commercial treaty with
England, dating from the return of
John Jay in December, 1895, with the
first treaty of commerce made with
the mother country.
The sails of the ships Of commerce
are the wings of the dove of peace, the
ties beneath the rails of ralIroad, the
ties that bind city and city, community
and community, with ever increasing
bonds of interest and affection. In
the furtherance of commerce have the
mightiest of mechanical triumphs
been achieved, and in the great spread
of commerce will come the closer knit
ting together of the nations of the
earth, the better understanding of the
universal kinship of the human fam
lily.
Turning to the men before him, the
speaker said: You, as the evangels of
commerce, have a double task. You
represent not alone your own house.
but as well your city, your State, and
the integrity of one of the most puts
SAINT factors of civilization. Your
words, your carriage, and your con-
duct not only bespeak your wares, but
also your life and that of your COM
munity. In your hands is ire
mendous power, whose very greatness
demands that you shall use it right
eously. honorably, nobly.
ut is excellant
To have giants strength, but it is
tyrranous
To use it as giant"
SOME SOUND ADVICE.
The honor of your house, the reputa-
ton of your city, even the foundations
of society, are affected by your con-
duct. Let, therefore, yonr purposes
be as straight as the rails upon which |
you ride, your motives as sound as the |
ties whereon they rest; let your right
eous zeal be as warm as the boiler of
the locomotive, your energy tireless as
the steam which gives it power; let |
your conduct measure up to the !
broadest gauge of honor, and your
strength of will resist the strongest
pressure of temptation which is
brought to bear upon it. Let your
whole life be run on a schedule of
of unbroken faith, of pure
and unselfish conduct. Then will you
be obeying the rules of the great
Train master above, who guides the
world along the lines of His ineffable
You are serving more than
your own house. You are serving
humanity, and through humanity you
are serving God. Therefore, be your
service true, earnest, conscientious.
The discourse was delivered in an
Impressive manner and was greatly
enjoyed by the association.

Reeollections OF Henry Ward Beecher
BY HoRATIo C. KING.

THE vast Town Hall (Springfield
Mass, 1879 was packed with an au.
dience of upward of $1,000 Although
his address was written out Il have the
manuscript now, he swayed the great
tirong by the magic of his patriotic
words and oratory. Three or four
times he was interrupted by the en-
thusiastic crowd, which rose en- naasse.
cheering and waving their hats AMI
handkerchiefs. AT the close, General
Barnum said: Il propose that the
wise and timely address Of Henry
Ward Beecher shall ha recognized 10

applause; and l move, Mr.. President.
that every member of the Society of
the Army of the Potomac, and every
loyal person present. rise to his feet.
and, upon signal from you, in a.
unanimous and quiet voice say. i
thank you" In pursuance of this
motion. all rose and in an impressive
maIiner said, II thank vou"; after
which Mr.. Beecher came forward. and

there is on my part but one L thank
you to divide among so many. But it
may be like the Scripture loaf that
started five, but it held out for five
thousand"
And hereby hangs a tale. In the
course of his address. Mr.. Beecher paid
most eloquent tribute to the integri
ty and loyalty of the officers in our
army who were graduates of West
Point. General Joe Hoo ker presided.
1t will be remembered by some that
the loss of the battle of Chancellors-
vile was attributed to the condition of
General Hooker. then commanding the
Army of the Potomac While in Eng
land. Mr. Beecher, in purely private |
with some representa-
tives OF a temperance organization,
mentioned this rumor 1t unfortunate |
ly got into print, and speedily crossed |
the ocean, to the great discomfort and |
danger of the gallant officer.
After the exercises both returned to
the Massasoit House. Hooker saw
MIR. Beecher in the parlor; he had not
spoken to him previously, but i'm
mediately approached the eloquent
divine, and shaking him heartily bv
the hand. said: Mr.. Beecher. you
said some hard things about me in
England, but your tribute to night to
West Point wipes that all out 7" Mr..
Beecher explained the matter to him,
Ind the two were at once fast friends.

said Mr.. Jefferson, there must have

To Educate Ones Self.
Lines Along Which Young Men are Advised
to Pursue knowledge.

Lines Along Which Young Men are Advised
to Pursue Knowledge.
A young man in a letter to the editor
of The LADIES' Home Journal inquiries
the best systematic course of reading,
as substitute for an academic educa
ton, with the view of equippihg him
self for literary pursuits; and also which
books would be the most beneficial to
read with the idea of preparing himself
to enter the field Of fiction. To the
query regarding a substitute for col
lege education Edward W Box replies
in the January Journal: "As a substi
tute for college education, where it
is matter of choice, am not so sure,
since so much depends upon the man.
To one man good course of reading,
wisely chosen and followed, would be
infinitely more helpful than college
education, while in the case of another
man just the reverse would be true.
Some men absorb information more
readily and retain it better under self
training, while. others need the com
pulsory force of teaching to impress
things upon the mind. But where a
college education is, for some reason,
not accessible, and substitute must
be found, then a course of reading is
unquestionably good-none better in
fact.''
With respect to the inquiry concern
ing preparation to enter the field of
fiction, Mr.. Box considers it difficult to
answer, "since SO much depends upon
the particular field of historical fiction
desired. However, the best reply, per
haps, is that which suggests the read
ing of number of the best novels deal
ing with successive periods of English
history from Saxon times to the early
part of the present century. l give a
list mot reproduced in this extract
which includes typical books by the
various masters of English historical
fiction, but it might be doubled in
length several times over without ex-
hausting the available books of value
in this one field. A like selection may
be made from the novels treating OF
different historical periods severally of
France, Germany, Spain, Italy and
other countries of Europe and America
The field is almost limitless, but have
begun with the history of England, as
containing the direct sourc IS of Ameri-
can history which need to be grasped
before one can fairly understand the
beginnings and progress of our own ma
tional life"
