The world will never be without Alexan

leoiia. The titnei* will bhang’e of course,
)*nt the few master geniuses; raised Up by
Ihe ph'iVidehee of God, in order lhat they
might become niler& of UatL.ua, have un
dergone no essential change. The gt*eAt
captains, at a teamen, and priests of to day,
possess ambition, stdf consciousness* and
desire of domination in as strongs degree
as did iheir prototyjites uho rose and reign
ed in the ilbskv centuvied of the lohg gbtie
past.
This proposition is signally illustrated in
the lives of Binrhilrek, Thiers and Gladstone.
Rr'f >re Bismarck carilM np«in the stage the
unity o| Germany seemed like «i dreaht
an illusion. But when his master*mind
flamed the scheme f«»r ihe aepoinplishment

moils* and tin* world now lecgnif-s in
France on*y ihe v, fleet toe of Thiers Were
he a younger Umn* the result would be Des
potism and Empire.
Gladstone's career is a still more h*-
mu'kabie manilestioii of individuality. He
entered public life with one leading idea.
He has steadfastly adhered to it through
popularity ynd through nhpopularity. In
his study, it* Parliament, and opom tin*
hustings, he* has boldly »nd fearlessly ad
vocated tin* progress of Republican ideas.
Ho was made triumph**
and his power to-day is as absolute as
could be obtained l>> any man in England,
in a time of peace and progress Always
personally unpopular, he has sUcC , *ed ,, d t
by the tm re force of geiptls, ambition and
indomitable energy, in revolutionizing the
civil policy of England. He never coll i -s#.
cended to represent public sentiment. Like
Bismarck, he has made public sentiment
represent him !
The one man power rules under every
form of government, and in every condi
tioti of society. There is in every circle one
recogniz' and leader, whose right to rule i#
either openly or tacitly acknowledged.
Public opinion frequently create* a pow«-rs
ful man, but it never yet created a Ctesar,
a Napoleon, or a Bismarck. These men
are tln-mselves the architects of pnblic
opinion, and the completeness of their
works proves their divine right to rule.—

genius, beauty or wit; no gold on mirth or
gem of heaven, is rich, enough to purchase
iti Loving thee, my bride, my heart shalt
keep its old mentorms like the Bea shell its
wallied melody. Love's music steals ou uh
like dawning light* which all bVcr the

Bb Social —Men who isolate themselves
from society, and have no near and dear
family ties, are the most nnCont fort able of
human beings. Byron says that ‘Happi
ness was born a twin but the phrase, al
though pretty and poet f c doea uot go far
enough. We are gregarious and not im*
tended to aratoh through life either in sin
gle or double file. Tlie man who cares for
nobody, and for whom nobody cares, has
nothing to live for that will pay for the
keeping of body and soul together. You
mast have a heap of embers to have a
glowing fire. Scatter them apart and they
will become dim and cold. So, to have a
brisk, vigorous life, you must h»v# a
group of lives to k*-ep each warm, to affiwd
mutual encouragement, confidence aud
support. If you wish to live the life of a
man and not of a fungus, be social, be
brotherly, be charitable, be sympathetic,
and labor earnestly for the good of your
kind.
