FOR
THE THOUGHTFUL.

Work is the grand cure of all the
maladies and miseries that ever beset
mankind-honest work, which one in
tends to get done.
1t is an important part of education
to introduce greatness to the mind of
the child, not in an abstract and me-
chanical way, but in the living of its
existence in past times.
Do not think of your faults, still
less of others faults. In every person
who comes near you, look for what is
good and strong. Honour that, re-
.joice in it, and try to initiate it.
Hope, though not always an accu-
rate prophet, is the grand inspirer of
human life. 1t: predictions are not al
ways fulfilled to the letter, but they
are frequently replaced by something
better than themselves.
The difficulties in our daily path
were intended to stop us, to make us
give up, or faint, or turn back. They
were meant solely for us to over
come, and the power to do it waits on
ly upon our will.
The virtuous man is one who not
only chooses the right and the good
so far as he can find it, but who wishes
to choose it. and is rendered happy by
80 doing. This is what we call the
beauty of goodness, and, as far as it is
ever reached, so far his self-denial van
ishe.
1t is more than probable that the
greater part of the happiness of the
world comes from sources that are sell
dom recognized. In our thoughts We
are continually associating pleasure
with some future to be consummated,
and overlooking its real presence,
which is with us now and here.
We each have a certain amount of
capacity and power in various direc-
tions. which we are continually giving
out to the world, either in the form of
work, or assistance, or affection, or in
fluence, or in some other way. This
is wasted and diminished, or developed
and increased.
Compliments are the poetical touches
which redeem the monotomy of pro
sale existence In the intercourse of
sympathetic and well-bred people, they
have natural place; and it is as
pleasant to recognise by word or look
the graces and charms of our friends,
as it is to enjoy and profit by them.
Much of the unhappiness and want
which exist, are traceable to impru-
dent marriages. The woman who
promises to Glove and honour" one of
whom she is not sure that he possesses
a loveable and honorable character,
may entail upon herself life of
wretchedness. And the man who
heedlessly covenants to keep the life
of the woman who trusts him as his
own, is taking a responsibility of which
he should we'll ponder the weight.

CHAPTER TX.
ARRIVAL IN THE POTOMAC.

Little occurred worthy of particular
notice, from the morning of the first
till the evening of the llth Of Scptem-
ber. During the first five days of the
month, the feet remained stationary;
those at the head of affairs being occu-
pied in preparing their dispatches,
whilst l and my companions killed
time, by having recourse to as many
expedients as our situation enabled us
to adopt. We walked the deck; we
read the few volumes that were within
or reach, till we had almost learned
them by heart;-we bathed in the river,
rowed about from ship to ship, and oc-
casionally venturcd to put foot upon
its banks, and even to penetrate lit
tie way beyond them. Our sportsmen.
moreover, myself among the number,
brought their guns and tishing-tackle
into requisition; with both of which
they succeeded in obtaining consider
able amusement. The Patuxent
abounded with fish, we took in our
n ITS, not untrequently, as many as five
or six dozen of different kinds in a
morning; and the woods proved to be
full of partridges, quails, and hares,
and above all. of wild turkeys, there
was no lack of game to reward our la
bors on shore. Two Of the latter was
one day fortunate enough to kill, and
they proved a very acceptable addition
to our mess.
In the meanwhile the wounded were
divided into three classes, according to
the nature and severity of their hurts
Such as, like myself. had received mere
scratches, being placed upon the list of
convalescents, were regarded as fit for
duty, and left in their respective trans
ports. Such as had been more severe
ly, and yet not seriously injured, were
removed to the majestic" for the pur-
pose of being carried to Halifax; whilst
the dangerously wounded men, whose
ultimate recovery, if they recovered ut
all, promised not to occur for many
months to come, were lodged on board
of the "Ipligenia," already appointed
to bear the news of our victory to Eng
land. Every eXertion was, moreover,
made, to restore to the little army that
perfect discipline and order, which the
progress Of a dashing campaign had
unavodably weakened. His own KNAPP
sack, for example, was, as far as could
be, returned to each of the men, and
the necessaries of as many as had sut-
fered loss i'm the late operations, were
made good. The clothing, accoutre-
ments, and arms of all were carefully
cleaned and repaired; in a word, every
advantage was taken Of the breathing
time, to place, as perfectly as circum-
stances would allow, the armament in
state of renewed efficiency.
Besides these more important trans
actions, other like affairs occurred,
which again brought our finer feelings
somewhat torcibly into play. The eff
fects of our deceased comrades were
put up for sale; and subscriptions were
entered into for one or two widows
who had really loved their husbands
and being deprived Of them, desired to
return home. Soldiers, Of all ranks
are, during state Of warfare, made up
of singularly discordant materials
We all, for example, felt sincerely for

land in the summer of 1914. 1t is re-

which was written and published early in
the century by G. r. Gleig. The author
was young officer in the invading army,
but afterwards studied for the ministry
and became the Chaplain General of the
British forces. The publication was be-

IN THE BEGINNING

OF new year, when the winter season
of close confinement is only half cone,
many find that their health begins to
break down, that the least exposure
threatens sickness. 1t is then as well
as all other times, and with people
even in good health, that the follow
ing facts should be remembered, namely:
that Hoods Sarsaparilla leads every
thing in the way Of medicines; that it
accomplises the greatest cures in the
world; has the largest sale in the world,
and requires the largest building in
the world devoted exclusively to the
preparation Of proprietary medicine.
Does not this conclusively prove, if
you are sick, that Hoods Sarsaparilla
is the medicine for you to take!
