I will not speak on this occasion of bis gjfcbts as a groat captain, but prefer to ' xMLi to liim in lus still greater character ias irtrue, noble man Lev ns a successful general; the victor of many hard fought liekl-y, is great; but Leo its the true Ohri.sJ.ian, the pure, unselfish man, seek iug the path of duty and followin it, wliothei in the hour of triumph or in tli ■ day of disaster, is greater still. Lee with the flush of victory upon him, as he is portrayed by the artist, mounted on 1 IVo' eller at Spotsylvania among his ad vancing regiments, is grand; but Lee writing to his faithful lieutenant, wdo had been wounded at Chancellorsville, ‘T eotigiatulaie you on the victory which is due to your skill and energy,” is grander still. Lee as described at the Wilderness, again at tl e head of his advancing lines, hut forced to retire from the front by his men (uneasy for his safety) with the as surance that if he would ,u to the rear they would go to the front, is glorious; hut Lee, after the repulse at Gettysburg, saying ‘ All this is my fault,” and assum ing the le. peiisiliility for the reverse, is mine glorious still—it is sublime—show ing us how true greatness, generous and ma j mini moils, call bear itself in defeat. Lee s military genius is coneeded, and he wiil unquestionably rank among the fore most captain* of history; but Leo’s noble 'i nhood, exhibited in the hour ofdi-us- Mvt- at Appomattox, and in the subsequent and iys of adversity, is a priceless legacy, as an example, lar more valuable Ilian his Military renown. !

While Washington represents ill the history of this country the virtues of sue cess, LjtfjJ'cpreseiits the virtues of adver sity.

Lee himself, then, is the choice fruit of Washington’s example, and furnishes a distinguished illustration of the value of great exemplars in forming the character of youth. When we recollect that Lee, lavishly endowed by nature, was reared under these hallowed influences, that duty (which lie styled the sublimest word in our language) was the key-note of his life, the pole-star of his every thought arid action, and that he was ever sustained by his religion in this unwavering and conscientious adherence through life to the call of duty, wo recognize the pres ence of every essential for developing the most exalted of inanki. and. We had ac cnrdingly in Lee that rare combination, the highest order of genius with the purest molality nf its day; the supreme valor of an Alexander, with the unswerv ing justice of an Aristides; the brilliant talents of a Caesar, with the stern virtues of a Cato; the transcendent genius of a Napoleon with the utisclfiii patriotism of a Washington: “A combination and a form indeed, Where every god did Heem to net hi seal To give the world assuiance jf a man.” We have accordingly in Lee the last, best gift ol the Mother of States and statesmen, uniting the valor of the war rior with the gentleness of the woman; the j wisdom of the sage with the purity of the I saint; the virtue of the patriot with the I humility of the Christian; the brilliancy iof genius with the simplicity of faith. : We have aee trdingly in Lee the most perfect, embodiment yet developed of the ideal manhood of our Christian eiviliza j tion. Nature, hit ill, home influence and ' meial advantages, and hi-own aspirations mt- in* a and Christian excellence, all ; him rue purest ami greatest man of a.l | the ages. .May his grand character, as u bright example, a shining light, bless his countrymen to remotest generations. 'i *0 A jury in Alabama been impaneled in the case of a .Mr. .Johnson, charged with killing his wife. The evidence was positive and conclusive, leaving no doubt of his speedy conviction. To the amaze- I merit of all, the jury, aft o'a short absence, returned a verdict: “Guilty of horse ! stealing.” The Judge, astonished, asked an explanation, stated that the indictment was not for horsestealing, but man slaughter. The foreman, with his hand upon a huge lawbook, and with an amus ing dignified air, informed the court that : “it was not a case of manslaughter, but womanslaughter, for which the law make ino provision;” but being satisfied that man deserved to he hanged, they ha I brought in a verdict of hoi'. .dine. which, in that country would be me to , swing him. How to Teach Lyinq\ “Did you see that old man, out there? lie carries off bad children that cry. Didn't you sei that basket, he carries children off in? When a hoy cries, a hird whistles, ami he could and takes him right off. I saw him take a boy off the other day. Hu cried, and ho came and took him in his basket, and away he went. Now, il you cry any more, I will whistle for him, and he willcome right after you.” Tlii ■ is just what I heard a lady say to a it tie hoy four years old. The old man to whom she referred was a poor old negro, who had lost his feet, and was walking along the street on his k nees. When the little hoy saw him come creeping along, ho became frightened, and ran into the house. And this lady, taking advantage of his tears, told him all this to try and make him a better boy. I pitied the littk fellow, but 1 pitied the lady moro. No doubt site will be greatly shocked when ho begins to lie in earnest, wh. n she can put no dependence in his word Should this ever he the ease, she may blame herself for it, for she set him the example. Children expect the truth, and if they find themselves deceived, it not only shakes their confidence in others, but they being very apt scholars, will soon learn to lie and deceive too. God loves truth, and wo should never, under any circumstunocs, tell an untruth, file Apostle I’aul says we must he “girt about with truth.” It is an important part of a Christian’s armor. — Exchange. Wanted to be Interviewed. The Virginia (Nov.) Chronicle says: This morning a young lad, with a parcel of school books under his ,nm, came into our oflioe and stood for some minutes lean ing against the door. He was presently interrogated us to h,s wants, mission, etc. ‘•Are you the feller that does the inter viewin’?” The reporter acknowledged that branch of his calling, and the hoy proceeded: •'Would you interview a lullcr what got akd?” Hfcrtuinly.” see, 1 go to the second ward school, and this morning 1 got licked like thunder —for nothin’—will ye put that in?” "Go on, my my little m n. Throiviug spit-halls at a girl, I suppose?” "Ye see 1 had a hook open—” "A Beadle’s Dime?” “No, a reader; hut it wasn't time to have reading open It was spellin’ book time, ye see, and the first thing I kliowed somethin’ took me ’longsiJe the ear, sorter in this way. [litre (he boy humped his head against the door. | The teacher grabs me by the collar and begins to haul me 'round and busts me agin the wall. Then he licks me ” "High handed outrage.” "You bet, and if Bill Snooks was here he would show ye how he got licked. We git licked every day for nothin’—jest nothin' at all. Thu teachers' partiality all the time." •'C.iu you tell what partiality means?" “No. but that's what they call it- It’s a man that lieks onu feller r'ght along, and don’t lick another feller at all, Now, put that in and send the bill to my dad.” Don't Worry About Yourself. To regain or recover health persons should be relieved from anxiety concern ing diseases. The mind has power over the body. For a person to think he has a disease will often produce that disease. This wc see effected when ihe mind is in tensely concentrated upon the diseases of another. It is found in the hospitals that physicians and surgeons who make a specialty of a certain disease, are liable to die of it themselves, and the mental power is so great that people sometimes die of diseases which they only have in imagination. We have seen persons sea sick in anticipation of a voyage before reaching the vessel. We have known a person to die of cancer in the stomach when he had no cancer nor any other dis ease. A man slightly blindfolded and slightly pricked in the arm has fainted died from heliev.ng that ho was bleeding to death. Therefore, persons in health and desiring to continue so should at all times be cheerful and happy, and those who are sick should nave their attention drawn as much as possible from them selves. It. is by their faith tnen are saved and also by their faith that they die. If a man will not to die he c n live in spite of disease, and if he has little or no at tachment to life he will slip away as easily as a child falls asleep. Science seem i to march along regardless of Presidential complications. The tele phone is a combination of electric instu meuts and batteries for transmitting a number of miles, sounds of the human voice. The inventor, Prof. G. A. Bell, gave a lecture on the machine in Salem, Massachusetts, and talking was dime back and forth with friends in Boston, 18 miles a.vay, familiar voices were recognized, Yankee Doodle and other tunes sung in Bo ton to the audience iri Salem, etc. Mr. Elisha Gray, ot Chicago, has invented an instrument mote useful, perhaps, than that. The former, will carry hut one message at a time, and that n„t a great distance, while the latter will carry eight messages at once, and both musical and other sounds any distance that has yet been tried. Won ti: be ’grand when wo can simply go to the telegraph office and and listen to a great debar in Congress or opera in New York? Who liaios to say it will never ho possible. NUMBER I I. A Morning's Sermon. Lnv iz a pasliun that izoazierfelt than do-ktihed. It is common to the yung, middle-aged, and even old fellows hav thought they had the diseaze. It generally makes viktims feel phool ish, and akt phoolish, too. Sumtiiues it breaks out sudden, with out enny warning, and then agin it cums mi slo, like the runmtiss. [ hav known some pashunts to be in luv for -ix months and not kno exackly what did nil them, and then I hav known other cases wliarc the party* thought they was in luv, and nothing th® matter ov them all the time, only they waz out of humor. Sumthing to do allwus kurcs theze kind ov attacks. , When a person really iz in luv they unit lit for anythin ; elsa. It unfit a farmer and a blacksmith for bizziness just az much az it duz a stu dent at law or a boarding skool miss. Genuine luv never fastens its fangs onto a fellu-being hut once; ho often gets nipped by it before and afterward, but the fust skar sticks to him for life. vSttin people fall in luv every ninety days, just for the phun ov the tiling. Heal luv wont divide its pnsseshun ov the In art with ennyotherov the pastures ; it drives out ambition, and takes the stiffning out ov pride and vanity. A man is never more pure than when he is sensibly in luv. Luv is a great liuuiauizer; it makes the rude az gentle az a duv, and polishes up the rustik likes three months' tuition at a dansing skool. It iz hard work to he ill luv and not akt phoolish; hut luv iz the only thing l kno that makes pliolly excusable. We allwus luff at tlie yung, when they are in luv and pitty the old ones. An old man desperately in lnv iz az helpless az a lost child. lie wanders about heedless, not kno ing whare he iz, nor whare he iz going to. What sense lie ever did hav h iz left him. and he wont take nobody’s advice. We could spare almo.-t. enny other pasliun ov the harte better than we could luv, altho it haz made as much (rubble in this world az enny of the rest. A Fuble. Once upon a time there lived, across the water, a great king, 'vhii kicked his little son into the sea because he spilled his tea. The poor boy was rescued from drown ing by a beautiful fairy, to whom, in his gratitude, he offered his services, and if need be his life. And the fuiiy smiled and said he was a generous little soul, and she gave him a beautiful gold watch,mtuddod with rubies and diamonds and sapphires, which she said she wanted him to keep for her sake and the sake of her aunt’s sister, who had died many years ago, hut warned him to keep it wound up, and never to part with it. So he loved the fairy and promised with his life to “keep the watch.” This nice little hoy said he was his brother, and that his aunt’s sisters were brothers and sisters to his aunt’s sisters — that he was going the same way —and would like to have the watch. And the good little boy said, "No! This is my watch, and it was given me to keep.” And the nice little bov said, “I know it is yours, kfttt I want it,’ then the good little boy said he ‘ would not give up his watch,” and became very angry, and boiled with rage; but afterward felt sorry for being so angry, and told the nice little fellow (who said he was his brother,) that if lie thought he ought to have it, he would let him call in friends and see what they should say about it. And tlio nice little boy said, "well, let us call fifteen of our friends: you call seven and I will call eight, and they will decide who shall have the watch. And the poor child said “yes.” arid thought "what a good littlo boy am l.” And all the friends met together and took the watch and looked at the two boys, and said: "This is a good little boy, hut a tin watch will do for him.” Then they called him up and said: “Bubby, wouldn't you like a tin watch to play with?” And Itubby cried and sucked his thumb and said lie was so sorry be didn’t keep his nice gold watch which his aunt’s sister left him. Then all the other boys laughed and went away singing “Aliunde.” Then he fell deserted and alone, and sought the good fairy who hud given him the watch, hut all that he could see was a shrouded form, weeping upon a tomb and bearing a torn scroll, on which he could dimly discern: “Watchl Watch!” Moral. —“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” li. 11. A hunter in Cumberland, Md., tells the following as a true story: "He was in a tree waiting for a deer to pass; raised his gun to lire at one, but just then he saw a pantherabove him in the true. He drop ped from the tree, lulling on the deer, breaking its baek. lie then a./ a bear near by, and was about to fir at bruin, when the panther sprang Upon' the bear and mortally wounded it. .lust then he tired at the panther, killing tt, and thus secured the panther, deer and hear.” ♦ *. A Paris man has just buried his wife. Six years ago ho detected her committing a. sin. He never pardoned her. but con demned her to live with him, and sineo then lie lias ever dressed himself in clothes of the same material and cut as those worn by her paramour. In this costume lie took his walks abroad with his wife. The unfortunate woman died of a broken heart, and her husband followed her , hearse clad in a yellow costumv,
