Many of you ought to be able to re-
member the facts concering the siege
of Yorktown; how Washington and
Lafayette carefully made their plans,
threw up earth-works and with those
as means Of protection commenced
to harass the defenders OF the town:
then how by watching for the favor
able moment they moved forward
again and threw up a second line of
earth-wOrks, notwithstanding the en-
emy's guns were for a little time shoot
ing down the length of the trenches;
and finally how CORVALLIS cut off on
the water side by the French and sur
rounded by the land forces, gave up
the defence and surrendered over
1000 men as prisoners. In your his
tories you can find numbers of other
sieges described, some of them lasting
week after week; like that of Sebasto-
pol, in the CrimeanWar, which scarce

great courage, both on the part Of
those shut in with starvation and
thirst and death coming nearer and
nearer, and also on the part of the
beseigers who are sometimes slaugh-
tered in heaps as they attempt to en-
ter the town through some breach in
the walls. | don't like this idea of an
enemy crawling, creeping, burrowing
along until he is ready to spring up
suddenly and strange power and life
out of you. | expect you do not either
But if the people shut in have plenty
of food and good supply of water,
if their walls are too thick to be broken
by cannon balls, if they can make a
sudden rush and break up the defences
of the besiegers or if they can burrow
under ground and meet the mines of
the countermines there is not much
to fear. Yet there remains one dan
ger with which even strong forces
sometimes have to contend; the dan
ger within from a traitor, who will
tell secrets to the enemy or open the
gates to them.

do not intend to seem like preach
ing a sermon to you, so I shall close
with just one more idea that is sure
to be understood by you. How is it
with the young soldiers who go
through the hardship of seige and
come out victorious? Are they not
wiser and less likely to run away?
Are they not less inclined to doubt
their own ability than they were when
they were young unframed recruits.
Just so it is with you. When you
have resisted and come off victorious
you are stronger at that point than
you were before. Struggling with
temptation to do wrong is really the
best theng for us in making us pure
and vigorous in character. That |
want you to remember the next time
that the impulse comes to do some
thing that you have learned is wrong.

small, young, unknown to me, are in
a state of siege; not with cannOns
nor with battering rams, but with
temptations. If you will follow me
a little while | will show you Just
how closely you resemble fortress
that has enemies encamped around
it to starve it out and destroy it. A
fortress can usually be attacked in
more ways than one. So can you,-
through your brain, your vanity, and
the appetites of your body.
In fortress you cannot choose the
manner in which your enemy shall
attack you. He will seek the weakest
point and the defence must be made
right there. 1t would be q poor defen-
der who massed his troops remote
from the point attacked. SO if the
enemies of your character come tempt
ing you to conceit because you know
more than others, it is no use for you
to say in defence that you never eat
| too much, because conceit cOncering
knowledge has nothing to do with
overlooking the stomach. Then
again if another time you are tempted
to be greedy, what defence is it to say
that you are not cOnceited? If also
some day you are tempted to say vul-
gar words to boys or girls it is no
defence to declare that you stood at
the head of your class; and so on, |
could multiply the number Of tempta-
lions that may assail you from day
to day, all of them different, and all
of them besieging your character
Did we not say something about the
advantage of food and water in the
fortress? The besieged boy too can
hold out long, if he have the body
well stored with strength, and the
mind filled to overlooking with pure
thoughts that vanquish impure ones
And we must go back to sieges in
order to illustrate a further point to
you. What did we say was the great
est danger inside strong fortress!
a Traitor! So want to tell you that
all the enemies that come against you
are not nearly so dangerous as your
own will. Your character has very
little chance of victory if your will
joins with the temptations, for then
you will yield to naughtiness and find
the fortress Of your character taken.

Professor Smythe was once lecturing
In q provincial town on natural philos-
ophy, and in the course of his expert
ments he introduced most powerful
magnet, with which he attracted a
block Of iron from distance of two
feet
"Can any of You conceive a greater
attractive power?" demanded tho leo
turer, with an air of triumph.
II can" answered q voice from the
audience.
"Not q natural terrestrial object?"
"Yes, indeed"
The lecturer, somewhat puzzled,
challenged the man who had spoken to
name the article. Then up rose old
Johnny Sowerby. Said he:
II will give you facts. professor, and
you can Judge for yourself. When I was
young man, there was d little piece o.
natural magnet done up in neat cot
ton dress as was called Betsy Maria.

Cropping Them Prevents the Animals
From Hearing Well.
Any one who has heard the mega
phone must have wondered at the ex-
traordinary power of inoreasing sound
that is produced by form, and would
like to call attention to one point in
connection with cutting dogs ears that
I do not remember to have seen men
toned anywhere - that is, from an
acoustic standpoint:
have lately purchased q small York
shire terrier, imported from England
only few months ago. Its ears were
clipped In England after what the seller
of the dog declared to be "the very lat
est style.
The ears were first clipped and then
stiffened up with three effects on the
dog:
First. That the buzz of bee or fly
causes him to retreat under cover Of
safety.
Second. THAT he ducks his head
when about to be patted, sure sign Of
the length of time the pain of the oper-
alton must have lasted.
Third. IAN effect had not expect
ed.) That he has absolutely no idea of
the direction of sound.
In the ears Of mastiff dog any one
who observes the she'll like form of the
ear opening may easily imagine the i'm
mense power of such trumpetlike in
strument to increase the volume of
sound. A change in the acoustical ar
rangement of the flap of the ear would
necessarily entirely puzzle and bewilder
the owner as to the direction Of sound,
and this one point on ear cutting would
seem Of itself to condemn the practice.
