Refreshing Dry Hearts.

Text: "A man shall be as. 80. rivers

What dry places there are in human
life, how many dry hearts. A dry heart
| is one of the saddest and most pathetic
things in the world. And there are
more such hearts than many suppose.
There are some whose hearts are dry
for want of love. In every city, in
every village and hamlet, in every
countryside, there are souls drying up
and starving just for a little bit of love.
AS love Is the sweetest TO lifes nectars,
its bitterest cup is to feel that nobody
loves or cares for you.
What a drought loneliness creates
in many hearts. Think of the young
men and women in the big cities, away
from home and friends. Think OF the
invalid shut-ins. Think of the once
active men of affairs forced into retire.
ment by ill health. Think of the people
whom circumstances compel to live
alone. There are thousands such as
all these. How dry and desolate their
hearts become in their loneliness. How
often they must yearn for some one to
whom they can pour out their souls.
Inere are many LnHlgS tnaC make tie
heart dry. Trouble can do it, sorrow
can do it, bereavement can do it, suf
fering can do it. loneliness can do it.
We all know hearts that have become
dry through various causes. 1t is these
hearts the prophet refers to when he
speaks of "a dry place"
"A man shall be as rivers of water
in a dry place" In these desolate places
of life, the true man will be like a
river of water, replenishing and refresh

Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

March 8, 1861--Messrs Forsythe and
Crawford, two of the commissioners
from the Southern Confederacy now
here have thus far made no official
communication to the Government
owing to the sickness of Secretary of
State Seward and the informal intima-
ton that little time would be agree
able. But the commissioners have been
actively engaged since the arrival in
consultation with friends and unofficial
intercourse with reference to the object
of their mission. OF course, they have
left no stone unturned to advance the
cause of the Southern Confederacy in
this alarming crisis.
The Federal Government is expert
encing considerable difficulty on account
of the Southern officers or sympathizers
who still remain in the Federal Regular
Army. This situation is referred to in
an article printed here today:
There is a very serious difficulty
becoming apparent" this article de-
clares, Gin the arrangement of the
Army and the Navy. In view of the
recent newspaper articles it may not be
easy to recognize the fact that the
entire designations in both these
branches of the public service amount
to only a little more than one-eighth
of all the Southern officers on the Army
and Navy registers.
There are still 802 gentlemen of
Southern origin in Government pay and
doing duty, while only 1877, all told.
have thus far resigned. Now these
Southern officers. who do not allow
'latitudinal considerations to influence
their action. begin to complain that the
powers that be- seem disposed to act
suspiciously toward them to deprive
them of privileges and marks of con-
fidence to which their rank and term
of service entitle them. Many will re-
sign under the pressure OF this errone-
Gus idea"
The Army and Navy are gradually
preparing to weed out any men who
are not in sympathy with the preserva-
ton of the Union. in case the recently
inaugurated President Abraham Lincoln
and the seeded States take positions
that will make civil war between the
State inevitable. If this comes about,
it is fully anticipated that practically
all of the Army and Navy officers,
whose homes are in the seeded States,
will cast their lot with those States.
Here and there, however, there are
expected to be some exceptions, where
allegiance to the United States and the
Old Flag are more important than
allegiance to a State.

A Legacy All Can Leave.

We have heard a mother sigh when
some more fortunate soul left a rich
legacy to her children. 1t seems to
solicitous mothers heavenly thing to
be able to leave this earth with ones
loved ones we'll provided for.
Legacies of fortune are not the only
ones that we may leave our children.
In fact, any mother who has watched
fortunes dissipated in the merest frac-
ton of the time spent in accommodating
them will realize that a legacy, how
ever opulent, is no certain assurance of
providence.
A legacy of thrift is invaluable. A
mother who by example teaches thrifty
habits to her children is leaving them
legacy of material worth just as much
as If it were cash.
A legacy of honest and upright living
is as invaluable. 1t not only assures
the child we'll ordered life, but creates
for the man in the business world an
atmosphere of trust. and an attitude
