LIVING BECOMES A. HABIT
For Those Who Reach Maturity and
Form Many Ties, Dying 10
No Easy Matter.

Living, Ike other acts OIt0n TO
peated, grows upon us. 1t is not the
child. it is not the youth, even. who is
bound to life. That was very rare
instance OF the little boy who, res
cued from runaway accident with
his mother. turned to her and said:
"Oh, mother! Wasn't it good thing
l was saved! 1t wouldn't have mat
tered 80 much for you II you had
died, because you're old. But am so
young; it would have been awful for
me to die" AS a rule, the young
child takes life and death together all
as a matter of course, and there is
rarely any fear in child's mind OF
the hereafter, unless it has been sown
there by injudicious reading. But
those who have lived to maturity and
after; who are married to all the
sweet and pleasant habits of living;
who have learned to love and observe
the holy regularity Of nature and to
watch the infinite variety OF her
beauty; who find themselves bound by
thousand ties to their fellow men,
kindred friends, and acQuaintances;
who see their lives all woven into the
pattern of the other lives about them !;
who delve into human history and
watch for each sign Of progress, each
inclination and tendencyfor these it
Is no easy matter to turn ones eyes

Epfcurius.

Epicurius has been grossly SIAN
dered. He did not teach the doctrine
that our first business was to have
a good time," and that a good time
meant "the qualification of the appe-
tiles and passions" He taught that
the greatest good consisted of peace
Of mind springing from virtue" He
distinctly declared that pleasures of
the mind were far superior to those
Of the mere animal nature, and that
the only way to be truly and lastingly
happy was to subordinate the appe-
tites and passions to reason and live
not like an animal, but like a man.
It was such happiness that he de-
elared to be the aim of life.

There is nothing more charming than

that, with all the evidence of shattered

SOLDIERS KEPT IN TRAINING
High Standard of Efficiency Cannot
Be Maintained in Army Unless
Drilled Constantly.

There is glamour and romance
about war that appeals to the heart
of every young man worthy of the
name in this country. This is as ii
should be- We are a nation of sol
Gfers and sailors it is true, but many
a blood-soaked field can bear witness
that we are soldiers. When we have
the right man to lead us. A weapon,
however, that is left too long in its
scabbard is apt to rust therein. This
was the state in which we found our
country's sword when the fiery cross
was sent out in 1861. We had not
been at war for many years before
this and even many of our generals
had forgotten all about the art, says
a writer in the National Tribune.
Hence the terrible muddle and mis-
management witnessed in the war OF
the rebellion.
Our poor fellows were sent off as
empty-handed as if going to a grand
promenade, or a soldiers picnic. In,
deed, but for individual courage and
good luck the event would have end,
ed in national disaster and disgrace
for us. | have no desire to dispal
the romance that surrounds as with
a halo the noble and necessary art
of war; but l think every young fell
low should know that to be a real
soldier it is necessary for him to be
not only a fighting man and brave
man in the field, but a perfect camp
man also; and he can never learn &c
be so in barracks-but only on the
tented field in times of peace In
the present generation our hideous
sacrifice of soldiers in the war of '6l
and '65 cannot be understood by sen
ators and Representatives in congress.

He replied, telling me of bad news re-

not yet printed, adding that he had not
closed his eyes or breakfasted; and
then he said, with an anguished ex-
preston which l shall never forget,
How willingly would l exchange plac
es today with the soldier who sleeps
on the ground in the army of the Po-

THE morning after bloody battle of
the Wilderness l saw him walk up and
down the executive chamber, his long
arms behind his back, his dark fea-
lures contracted still more with gloom,
and as he looked up I thought his face
the saddest one l had ever seen. He
exclaimed: Why do we suffer rever-
