intended the drawing and it is
supposed the old soldier away
down in Georgia thought that
the General could select a
ticket that would draw a prize.
General Bcaurngard.it is said,
answered the old soldier’s lt ? ter,

gave thc-following bit of advice:
“My dear old Comrade; If
you will stick to the Louisiana
Lottery you will be na poor as
you were at the close of the four
years of cruel war, and you will
not have enough left to Joad a
pop gun.”
Henry Ward Beecher in one
of his latest sermons said:
“To all tho young that are coin
ing into the church, I sav, be
young, be gay, be hopeful, be
mirthful. If God has given you
n sparkling disposition, thank
God lor it and cultivate it.
While it may not be the object
of your life to have the joy that
comes from these qualities, it is
tho privilege of vour life to per
form all your duties under its
influence; and tlioy can. bo per
formed in no other way so well.
Tho world needs jiist such a
development of Christianity.
The world is full of sorrow; it
needs cheer. It it is full of dis-
