To Live.

We live by desire to live; we live
by choice, by viii, by thought, by the
vivacity of the laws which we obey,
and obeying share their life, or we
by sloth, by disobedience, by losing
hold of life. which ebbs out Of us.
But whilst | find the signatures, the
hints and suggestions, noble and
wholesome, whilst l find that all the
ways of virtuous living lead upward
and not downward, yet it is not my
duty to prove to myself the immor-
tality of the soul. That knowledge is
hidden very cunningly. Perhaps the
archangel cannot find the secret of
their existence rs the eye cannot see
itself; but, ending or endless, to live
whilst l live.-Emerson.

False Economy.

Some people begrudge the expendi-
ture of money to beautify the home or
to bring the comforting message of
friendship in time of trouble. To them
flowers are of no use, pictures and
music waste of money. But a life
restricted to things that go into the
pot or are worn on the back results In
starving the spirit. "If l had two
loaves of bread would sell one OF
them to buy white hyacinths to feed
my soul! That was the terse and
poetic statement Of truth oft neg
lected.
Even the poor need other things
more than they need money. The
money will be gone next molth, but
the memory of great bunch of wild
flowers remain. Flower missions fur
nish beautiful ministry that almost
any Sunday school class can exercise.

the children of the slums.--The Chris

FIRST ENGAGEMENT OF
CIVIL WAR WAS ON
MAY "a, 1861

~HE war proper may be said to
have opened on the twenty
fourth of May, 1861. The en-
gagement was at Bethel
Church, where Gen. B. F. Butler was
in command, and in western Virginia,
Gen. George b. Mcclellan began to be
conspicuous figure. In the latter
part of May General Norris won an
engagement at Philippi, and on the
eleventh Of July General Mcclellan
gained a victory at Rich mountain.
On the tenth Of August, General Rose
Grams drove out detachment of the
enemy at Carnifax Ferry. On the
eleventh of June, Col. Lewis Wallace
made successful onset at ROmney.
These, and other minor engagements
occurred up to the sixteenth of July.
when began the first battle of Bull
Run. On that day the Federal army
moved forward and an important en-
gagement took place between Center
Vile and Bull Run. They pressed for
ward and on the twenty-first day of
July found the enemy strongly posted
between Bull Run and Manassas juno
ton. General Mcdowell, successful at
first, was driven back by the re-en-
fOrcements.
Missouri now became battlefield
for the contending armies. Captain
Nathaniel Lyon acted promptly at
Camp Jackson, near st. Louis, and
saved the arms and stores. Later,
General Lyon gained decided adj
vantage at Bonneville and on the fifth
Of July the Federal troops under Col.
Franz Sigel were again successful at
Carthage. On the tenth Of August
the hardest battle fought thus far in
the West occurred at Wilson'S creek,
where General Lyon was killed. Gen.
John G. Fremont followed the enemy
as far as Springfield, ILL.,, and was
there superseded by General Hunter.
The enemy led a strong detachment
into the state Of Kentucky and cap
tured the town Of Columbus, where
they planted batteries so as to COM
mand the Mississippi and the Missouri.
In order to dislodge them, Col. Ulysses
S. Grant was sent with brigade OF
three thousand Illinois troops, by way
of Cairo into Missouri, where he made
q vigorous and successful attack at
Belmont. Thus closed military opera
tions in the West for 1861. !
General Scott was unable to bear
longer the burden resting upon him
and Gen. George B. Mcclellan was
brought from West Virginia to take
command of the Army of the Potomac.
As an organizer and discipllnarian the
young commander had no superior.
From the first it was seen by the Fed
eral government that the command OF
the seacoast was an essential of sue
cess and a close blockade was placed
upon all Southern ports.
At the beginning Of 1852 the Federal
forces numbered about 100000 men.
General Mcclellan, commanding 2OO-
600, and General Buell., who command
ed another army at Louisville, KY, be-
gan the first of the colossal military
movements.

The stain Of selfish thirst for fame,
Undue ambition's fatal blight,
The itching palms encIouding shame
Too often dim the golden light.
But when the shining name appears
OF one whose strength was truth
and worth;
Who no ambition knew, nor fears,
Save for the country Of his birth;
Who had no thought Of selfish ends,
But fought to win his country's
fight
And change her foes to loyal friends-
That name shows full effulgenee
bright.
The youthful soldiers IaureIs green;
The citizens plain, useful ways;
The victor's glad, yet modest mien,
When honored with q nations

Tine manly heart that could but feel
Compassion for fallen foe;
The statesman's patriotic ZEAL
All on his name their glory throw,
The soldier Of immortal fame
The grandest chieftain Of his day.
What little can precede his name
And not due honors take away7
Oh, may that name, throughout all
time,
Desire in youthful hearts implant
To emulate, in worth sublime,
The soldier and the statesman,
