The Responsibility of Freedom.
New York Observer.)

If now true freedom is high-born, the
principle of noblesse oblige applies to it.
Birthright brings burdens. If freedom is
so much it can and must do much Oppor-
tunity creates obligation. And this prin-
ciple applies both to individuals and to
states. The freeman is the self-burden-
ing man; the free nation is the self-gov-
erning nation. The truest liberty of the
individual consists in an unopposed OPP
portunity to develop along the lines of his
highest life, and in a constantly recognized
obligation TO meanwhile help his brother
along toward the same goal. The freest
freedom of a great nation is consummated
in a system where law is sufficient, but
not oficious and oppressive, and where the
spirit of lawlessness is as foreign to the
social atmosphere as simoons on the At
lantie Httoral.
No nation deserves to be free that does
not know how to be free. Young America
must be taught TO see that freedom is a
thing TO be regulated as well as enjoyed,
to be used and not abused.

CHAPTER XIV.
THE FLOATING BODY.

In these same seas in which the Queen
was sailing, in the year, in the month,
nay in the week in which that bark had
been seized, a motherly, lubberly old
black brig was tapping and rolling
along at the gray of day. She stole out
In all her fat and homely proportions as
the light grew, Frightening upon her
and sheeting the sea to her tall black
beam in a pale tremble of mackerel
CLEANS and bright slate out of the far
northeast. No beauty was she, yet as
good as line of battle ship for a drift
ing boat to fall in with, and this thought
was in the mind of the mate, Mr.. Har-
dy, as he stood at the starboard rail
abreast of the little pinnacle box and
with folded arms surveyed the scene of
ocean slowly opening to its most desc.

Mr.. Hardy was a stout, short man.

His eyes leered, but he knew it not, and
the effect was good when his business
was solemn. He had the face of the

NEW RoAD.-In the County Court
to-day the report OF the viewers ap-
pointed on Friday to report as to the
expendiency of opening a new road
from the proposed extension of Prince
street to the Leesbure pike was receiv-
ed by Judge Love. The matter came
up on the application of G. B. Graham
ct al. for the opening of the road. AT
ter receiving the report of the viewers
and hearing arguments in the matter
the Judge entered the following order {:
1t appearing that the alteration does
not change the termini of the road and
good cause being shown for the altera-
ton, and E. l.. Dainger6eld having
obligated himself to pay one-half the
additional cost of opening the road ac-
cording to the plans filed with the re-
port of the viewers in excess of 500
ascertained as the cost of constructing
the original road, and w. W. Henry,
jr., having granted the right of way
over his land, the court orders that the
road be altered in accordance with the.
plans shown by the viewers.
The road to be built will now run in
q straight line from Prince street ex-
tended to H0otl's Run, thence north
for n considerable distance and thence
west TO the pike. The opening Of this
rtad will give an additional outlet from
the city and vehicles will thus be en-
a5led to avoid the dangerous crossing
Of the electric railway at the upper
end of King street.

Hon. H. r. Gibson, Member of Con-
gress from Tennessee, who was orator

the pathos Of which semi thrills through
his vast audience. His references to q
united country, and the spontaneous
patriotism which animates both the
North and South and the obliteration
of sectional issues were we'll received.
Capt. P. II. MoCaull's address created
equal enthusiasm. His remarks, which
were of the same spirit, were designed
to animate the present generation with
principles of patriotism by burying
sectional issues and fostering brotherly
feeling as citizens OF one common
country.
Capt. ]. V. Davis, superintendent of
