genius gave Immortality. Now militia.
~ glory shines with luster, and in ev-
cry country the glory Of the fine arts
Is shrouded in darkness. My voice Is
too feeble to be heard on an occasion
80 solemn and momentous and so new
to me. But as that voice is pure as
1t has never 1attered any species of
tyramy-it has never been rendered
unworthy of celebrating heroism and
virtue. >
Nevertheless, these funeral and mil.
itary honors will speak to all hearts.
1t needs not the aid of speech to raise
strong and indescribable emotions. The
mourning which the first consul or
ders for Washington declares to France
that Washington's example is not lost.
1t is less for the illustrious general
than for the benefactor and friend OF
great people that the Grape of MOURN
ing now covers our banners and the
uniform of our warriors Neither do
we prepare that unmeaning pomp, so
contrary to policy and humanity, in
which insult is offered to misfortune,
contempt to venerable ruins and
calumny to the tomb. Every exalted
idea, every useful truth, is seen in this
assembly. I speak before warriors the
honorable praise of a warrior firm in
adversely, modest in victory and mag
unanimous in every stage Of fortune.
Before the ministers of the French
republic speak. the praises of a man
whom ambition never swayed and
whose every care tended to the welfare
of his country; man who, unlike 9TH
ers that have changed empires, lived
IN peace in his native land and in
that land which he had freed and in
which he had held the highest rank
died as simple individual.
General Washington offers exam
pies not less worthy of imitation.
Amid all the disorders of camps, amid
all the excuses inseparable from a
civil war, humanity took refuge in
his tent and was never repulsed. In
triumph and in defeat he was always
as tranquil as wisdom, as simple as
virtue. The finer feelings of the heart
never abandoned him, even in those
moments when his own interest would
seem to Justify recurrence to the
laws Of vengeance.
ut is these extraordinary men who
appear at intervals on this vast scene
with characters commanding and IL
1ustrious. An unknown and superior
cause sends them when 1t is fit to lay
the foundations Of new or, to build up
the ruins Of old empires. It Is in vain
that these men step aside or mingle
with the crowd. Destiny leads them
on They are carried from obstacle
to obstacle, from triumph to triumph,
until they arrive at the summit Of pow
er. Something supernatural animates

the government of states than to the
conduct Of life and which gives more
tranquility than emotion to the soul
and more happiness than glory to those
who possess it. 1t is of good sense
that speak. Audacity destroys. genius
elevates, good sense preserves and per-
fects. Genius is charged with the
glory of empires, but good sense alone
assures their safety and repose. His
end portrayed all the domestic virtues,
as his life had been an illustrious ex,
ample in war and politics. America
regarded with respect the mansion
which contained her defender. From
that retreat, where so much glory
dwelt, sage counsels issued. which had
no less weight than in the days Of his
power. But death has swept all away.
He died in the midst Of those occupa.

It holds, can refuse it's respect to this
great father of liberty. The people
who so lately stigmatized Washington
as rebel regard even the enfranchise-

by great characters. The American
Revolution, the contemporary of our
own, is fixed forever. Washington be-

Here is an item that farmers will be
interested in: A recent test at the
Iowa experimenting station of the
shrinkage of corn in the crib develop
ed the following facts: On October Is,
1898, 1000 pounds of ear corn were
husked and stored in crib constructed
to make the storage conditions normal
In the first three months the loss was
$50 pounds or . per cent. For the
next three months the loss was 30C
pounds or per cent ; and for the last
three months 100 pounds, or 2 81 pei
cent. The aggregate loss was l,430
pounds, or more than 20 per cent.
An Editor in Wamego, Kan, after
leaving most of the contents Of his
purse at church fair, strikes back in
this style: "a church fair is a func
ton where man spends more money
than he can afford, for things which
he does not want, to please people he
does not like, for the beneht of the
heather, who are better off left alone. u
There are a great many hindrances
to the spreading of the gospel in India
One OF the greatest is the difficulty We
have in making them undersatnd
that God is a God of love. They think
he is God of wrath and Vengeance.

appears. If my husband comes home
little out of sorts I just busy myself
