iF LIVING is BUT WARFARE.

II living is but warfare, a fierce and vast cam.
paign,
Let's be good soldiers in our day, the kind that
don't complain;
The cheerful breed that the march so steady
strides along
And gathers round the bivouac Of night with
heartering song,
That bears the brunt of battle as bravely as may
be
And cultivates laughing eye, the brighter side
to see,
For self respects a steadfast mark to guide your
marching by,
And the world loves its good soldiers that bear
them straight and high.
II living is but warfare, let's make it splendid
war,
Till Of some noble purpose tells each honorable
scar
And vanquishment shall only mean worthy deed
deferred
And victorys cry that Of right triumphant
shall be heard
So glorious that when the grand TIE Deum strains
arise
Gods angels shall lift up the chant and choir it
through the skies,
And the trumpets of archangels shall sound the
proud solsase
That signals to good soldiers Gods ultimate Of
peacel

The Honest Statesman.

Some years ago an Englishman visit
ed Washington and met a statesman
belonging to the minority party who
gave a most startling account of the
corruption existing in the government
and the terrible struggle he had had
against it.
"Do you mean to say, sir" asked the
stranger seriously, that you are the
only honest man in the American gov
ernment?"
"Well," replied the statesman, strok-
ing his beard meditatively, II wouldn't
go SO far as that There may be four
or five more somewhere"
