SHERMAN ON SILVER. Ohio Statesman Talks On the Silver Question. i Argnment Against Silver MonomeUlllna. to Which. H« Declared the Kar tion, Under the Parchaaing Clause, was Drifting. Washington Aug-. 80,—The feature mt the session of the senate to-day was Abe speech of Senator Sherman, of Ohio. At 12:!* the bill to repeal the Sherman act maa laid before the senate, and Mr. Sherman Amp.. O.) proceeded to addreis the senate. He ■aid that If the repeal of the purchasing clauses of the act or -July. I»>. was the only Mason for the extraordinary session, it man’ll seem to him insufficient. It one. however, justified by the existing Maaociut stringency. On one thing, he said, ■angress and the people were agreed, and that mas that .both gold and silver should be conAhtoed in use as money. Monometallism, (pure Mad simple, had never gained a foothold in the yjoited States. If senators wanted cheap " aaohey and an advance in priced, free coinage mf a liver was the way to do it; bat they should t call it bimetallism.

Senator Sherman. Mr. Sherman then proceeded to discuss the history of the act that bears his same. He was wot lii favor of the free coinage of silver, and aegarded it as but another name for the monometallism of silver, and was only in favor of (feepur chase of silver for purposes of eoinieg. tlie conferees of the two houses agreed upon differences, and in that agreement the repeal of the Bland-AUison Mr. Sherman reminded senators when ' criticised the law that was named after , they should remember that Hits law now sthe statute books was far better than either i house bill or that passed by the senate, president had, Mr. Sherman said, set the decline in the value of silver, but l to give the causes of the decline. Had fee taken a broader view of the cause! .of that decline he could have explained it all. lit ns due, Mr. Sherman said, to the fact that •we were called upon to pav our debts, debts payable in gold. England was the great creditor country, and we should neither be ashamed of nor hate her; we are her children and par- ■ take much of the characteristic s of the parent stock. England's losses in the Argentine Republic had to be made good, and she returned our securities and demanded the .Sold needed to save her own institutions from going down For the first time also fc a number of years the balance of trade was •gainst us, and we had to make the difference After discussing other matters eontrib- : to the present condition, Mr. Sherman that an erroneous impression had l created when it was claimed that the Sherlaw was the cause of all the trouble. I this, he said, with all due deference to r. Cleveland. Still the fact was that congress must deal with a situation and not a measure. Bo believed in “giving the devil his due.” and -eras ready to stand by the law, not as a measure in which he took any special pride, for he urns compeled to yield in order to prevent disastrous legislation. Without this law what mould the country have done in 1881 and 1892 -fend It been called upon them to meet the difficulties now staggering us. He was not a new convert to the repeal of the. law, but a year < ugu he had introduced a bill to suspend the • operations of the law. It was worded almost -uaactly Uke that of Mr. Voorhees'. Why did ant the democratic senators then see the dant they now see, and come to the help of the abUoans when they sought to suspend the aw? Not a democratic vote was had then, and democrats must answer why. This very currency famine was not through Vent that the money of the country was not good, and the people should not be deceived as •a the reasons for the repeal. Mr. Sherman did not believe the repeal of the law would in any considerable degree relieve the country Oreun the existing stagnation. Its repeal <wrould ease the money market from the •dreaded fear of the free coinage of •silver. The law was denounced by - the democratic party as a miserable -makeshift. It was a.makeshift, and a good . une. It tended to prevent the ills growing out of (fee free coinage of silver. The democratic - party was now charged with a great responsibility and Mr. Sherman warned them that if r attempted to alter the existing tariff laws r would plunge the cfenntry into deeper dist than now exists.

'I“aKing it ior granteu mat me saernua taw would be 'repealed, wbat of the future? Mr. Sherman, while not the adviser of the democratic party, said be was entitled to give his -opinion as an American citizen. First of all -me must preserve intact the parity of all our money. It might be necessary to issue our securities to secure gold to maintain this parity, the only way by which we can sum--marilv secure gold. At this point of his speech Mr. Sherman deviated from the direct path of his argument reply to and clear away the charges and aspersions made by senators and others in connection writh his so-called act demonetizing silver in 1873, and he confessed to some annoyanoe at She state mant made the other day by Mr. Voorhees that the action at those who had -managed the legislation bad been stealthy and --treacherous. Mr. Voorhees declared that nothing could be mrther from his purpose and intention than to cay an unkind or disrespeotful word about the -ceoator from Ohio That senator was not in , Mis mind when he uttered those words. But as ■ they were disagreeable or offensive to him. he -expressed regret at hating uttered them, and vCo-larect himself incapable of indicting an afwont unprovoked on any gentleman in the sencue or elsewhere. Mr. Sherman said that certainly he did not jfehire to say anything on the matter, being ■SikfTniil Shat what the senator from Indiana 'hoMsaidwas due to his exuberant eloquence. (Laughter] He intended now to produce the public record of the matter and maketbeact ct 1873 plain and clear and to show that the whole proceeding was free from corruption, •nd was honorable to congress, and hereafter.he •aid. in angry and excited tones.when any man Makes that Imputation I will simply say that M Is a falsehood, and I brand it so now. There Mas never been any bill freer from wrong inthan the act of 1873, and to sayuhat it surreptitiously is a falsehool||pf cue by whomever uttered. -Mr. Sherman devoted some time to an exposure cf the falsehood of a letter written by cent one who avowed himself as an anarchist ..end wlm professed to repeat a statement sup- ; posed to have been made to him by Mr. Ernest - Seiad as to haring bribed congress to pass the ~*aw of 1873. He declared that Mr. Seiad was cc extreme bimetallist as any man within the ceund of his voice, and that the statement of the obscure anarchist was a lie made out of . Mr. Sherman boldly avowed his connection ■with the legislation of t87S, and said (alluding ts jig. Stewart, of Nevada.) that he would mot plead the baby act. The senator from — .resenting, as he did, 90,000 active industrious people in* in the mining of silver and gold, have known at that time whether the of the Paddy was dead 'and gone oi

Everybody knotra that’* The elting: of these quotations. showtn( such a remarkable change on the part of Mr. Stewart. provofted general laughter at the expense of that senator, who looked somewhat bewildered. bat only stroked his long beard. Subsequently. hoirever. he promised to reply to Mr. Sherman on Friday next Mr. Sherman folio we 1 up his advantage over the Nevada senator by exhlbltin( n newspaper published ta that state, one whole hide of which was occupied with notices of assessments oh silver mining stocks, mil payable in railed Stales geld coin. Then he came back to the mala subject of his speech, and said: “I don’t think that the stoppage of diver coinage was the end of silver. We have proved that the mere purchasing of silver by us on a declining market is an improvident use of the public mousy and ought to be abandoned, at least suspended until a time which may come, when by an international agreement or by some provision of law, we mar guard against the possibility or coming to a single standard of silver. That can be done. What do we do now but simply stop the purchase of silver! We don’t say when we will renew It -again. We simply say that now. in view of the possibility of » panic, it would be unwise tor us to waste either our credit or our money in buying tliat which must lie in the cellars of the treasury. t It was in order to give assurance that we do not intend to destroy the silver mlningindustry of the west that we put into the bill reported by the committee the provision proposed by the senator from Indiana. Instead of aiding to strike down silver I would like to build it up, and any measure that will do so and will not demonetize gold will meet my approval and support. But I would not dissever the financial business of this great country, with its 65,000,000 of people, from the standards that are now recognised by all the Christian nations of Europe. I would not have any other measure of value than that of the proudest and haughtiest country In the world. This is not a question of mere Interest to Nevada or Colorado. It is not a question of what Wall street will do. Wall street will be always doing some, devilment or other, it makes no difference who is up or down. I take that as a matter of course. The question is What should be done for the people of the United States in all its length and breadth, and therefore if congress will sty that in its opinion it is not wise now to continue the purchase of silver bullion there will bh no injustice to Colorado or Nevada. is*

Are we bouna to Duiiu up me interest oi one section of l;he country at the expense of the rest? Na I believe heartily and truly that the best thing we can do now is to suspend, for the time at least, the purchase of silver bullion. Recurring to the suggestion of authorizing the issue oif bonds, Mr. Sherman said: **I am willing to trust to. your executive officers. If you are not., it is a strange attitude in political affairs. I would give th^m power toproteot the credit of the go^ernmeut against all enemies at home and abroad. If the fight must be for the possession of gold I would use our cotton, our corn and our wheat; I would protect our credit against all mankind. As to silver. I would say that we prefer to wait awhile unt*l the skies aie clear and until we see the effects of t he suspension of silver coinage, and see what arrangements can be made for ani other monetary conference. In the meantime let the United States stand on its strength and credit. I think that soon all these clouds will dissipate, and that we may go home to our friends with the conviction that we have done a good work for our country at large. [Applause.l Mr. Sherman concluded at 2:45, having occupied two hours and ten minutes. Portions of his speech were read from manuscript, but the great part of it was delivered extempore and with great rapidity and force. He was listened to throughout with unflagging attention and iifterest. A GRAND SHUTOUT. Boomer, Who Will Fall to Show the Neceeuary Qualities to Register. Guthrie, Okla., Aug. SI.—The interior department agents have just arrived here with blanks showing what will be required of all persons intending to se ttle upon the Cherokee strip. Before getting a permit to enter the land, each person wanting it must make oa th that he has not been on the land and will not go on until the hour of opening. The men wanting a homestead must have all the legal qualifications, and in addition must certify that he has not made or commuted a homestead entry since March 3, 1889; does not o^n 160 acres of land; will keep the homestead he is about to enter for his own home, and will not speculate with the same; has not agreed to sell the land or any timber, stone or mineral thereon; is not in the employ of any person o? corporation to aid them in securing land; has never been on the land, and will not go on until the hour of opening. These requirements are so strict as to shut out half the people now arriving to enter the land.

TROUBLE PROBABLE Over the Allotments Made to Cherokee Indians In the Strip. Arkansas City, Kas., Aug. SI.— There is likely to be trouble over the Cherokee allotments after the strip opens. When the allotments were made the Cherokes’ picked them near projected cpunty seats. The location of county seats was then changed by the department to circumvent them.' They have also filed on lands on which there art; permanent improvements, and as they will interfere seriously with a number of town-site schemes they will be contested. A cattleman who rode through the strip Tuesday from Oklahoma says there a re thousands of “sooners” all along the eastern border. He saw hundreds of them who did not try to hide, and he saw their hiding places out on the prairie. The have gopher holes on many of the town sites. These are holes covered with boards on which sods are nailed and furnished with a brehthing hole. He states that the cavalry would cot be able to discover them. A body of men who have expressed their right to enter the lands has organized to enter the strip, locate and demand relinquishment money from settlers. The Bulk War Between New York City and Kansas. $■ Topeka, Kas., Aug. 81.—Replying to the criticism in some quarters that his circular of August' 34 would cause the New York banks to retaliate upon the Kansas banks by calling upon them to take up> their rediscounts and paper, and thus cripple their finances, State Bank Commissioner Briedenthal says that from reports received from 300 banks he finds that their balanoea in New. York aggregate 8147.S04.79. Against this there is due New York banks on rediscounted paper 888,104.80, nearly one-half of which is the paper of one bank. The remaining 187 owe not a dollar in New York. It is mow proposed to deprive New Yerk of the Kansas fiscal agency and pat in to Oft oago or Topeka.

WEEK-DAY RELIGION. Dr. Tabnage Thinks We Need More Religion. It la'Needed 1b Emy-Day Life. In Our Coovrraation and In Ordlaary Kan* ployment— One Kind of Kell clou for All Days. '‘Week-Day Religion'- furnished Rer. T. DeWitt Talmage the subject for a recent sermon. His test was: In all thy ways acknowledge Him.—Proverbs 1U..A There has been a tendency in all lands and ages to set apart certain days, places and occasions for .especial^ religions service, and to think that they forined the realm in which religion was chiefly to act Now, while holy days and holy places hare their nse, they can never be a substitute for con tinuous exercise of faith and prayer. In other words, a man can not be so good a Christian on Sabbath that he can afford to be a worldling all the week. If a steamer start for Southampton, and sail one day in that direction, and the other six days sail in other directions, how long before the steamer will get to Southampton? Just as soon as a man will get to Heaven who sails on the Sabbath day toward that which is good, a,nd the other six days of the week sails toward the world, the flesh and the devil. You can not eat so much at the Sabbath banquet that you can afford religious abstinence the rest of the week. Genuine religion is not spasmodic, does not go by fits and starts, is not attack of chills and fever—now cold until your teeth chatter, now hot until your bones ache. Genuine religion marches on steadily, up steep hitls, and along dangerous declivities, its eye ever on the everlasting hills crowned with the castles of the blessed.

I propose, so far as Goa may nelp me, to show you how we may bring our religion into life, and practice it in common things—yesterday, to-day, to-mor-row. And in the first place I remark: We ought to bring religion into our ordinary conversation. A dam breaks and two or three villages are submerged; a South American earthquake swallows a city, and people begin to talk about the uncertainty of human life, and in that conversation think they are engaging in religious service,' when there may be no religion at all. I have noticed that in proportion as Christian experience is shallow men talk about funerals, and death-beds, and hearses, and tombstones, and epitaphs. If a man have the religiqn of the Gospel in its full power in his soul he wiill talk chiefly about this world and the eternal world, and very little comparatively about the magnificent pass between this and that. Yet how seldom it is that the religion of Christ is a welcome theme! If a man full of the Gospel of Christ gets into a religious circle, and begins to talk abont sacred things, all the conversation is hushed, and things become exceedingly awkward. As on a summer day, the forests full of song, and chirp, and carol, mighty chorus of bird harmonies, every branch an orchestra—if a hawk appears in the sky, all the voices are hushed, so I have sometimes seen a social circle that professed to be Christian, silence by the appearance of the great theme of God and religion. Now, my friends, if we have the religion of Christ in our soul, we will talk about it in an exhilarant mood. It is more refreshing than the waters, it gives a man joy here, and prepares him for everlasting happiness before the throne of God. And yet, if the theme of religion be introduced into a circle, everything is silenced—silenced unless, perhaps, an aged Christian man in the corner of the room, feeling that some-, thing ought to be said, puts one foot over the other and sighs heavily and says: “Oh, yes; that’s so!’’ My friends! the religion of Jesus Christ is not something to be groaned about, but something to talk about and sing about, your face irradiated. The trouble is that men professing the

faith of the uospei are onen so inconsistent that they are afraid their conversation will not harmonizq with their life. We can not talk the Gospel unless we live the Gospel. You will often find a man whose entire life is full of inconsistencies filling his conversation with such expressions as,“we are miserable sinners,” “the Lord help us.” “the Lord bless you,” interlarding their conversation with such phrases, which are mere canting, and canting is the worst kind of hypocrisy. If a man have the grace of God in his heart dominant, he can talk religion and it will seem natural, and men, instead of being repulsed by it, will be attracted by it. Do you not know that when two Christian people talk as they ought about the things of Christ and Heaven, God gives special attention, and He writes it all down. Malachi iii., 16: “Thdn they that feared the Lord talked one to the other, and the Lord hearkened and heard, and a book of remembrance was written.” My brmher, yon can not be called to do anything so insignificant but God will help yon in it If yon area fisherman, Christ will stand by you as He did by Simon when he dragged Gennesaret. Are you a drawer of water? He will be with you at the well curb, when talking with the Samaritan woman. Are yon a custom house officer? Christ will call you as He did Matthew at the receipt o»custoia. The man who has only a day’^ wages in his pocket as certainly needs religion as he who rattles the keys of a bank and ‘could abscond with a hundred thou- | sand hard dollars. And yet there are I men who profess the religion of Jesus [Christ who do not bring the religion of the Gospel into their ordinary occupations and employments. There are in the churches of this day men who seem very devout on the Sabbath who are far from that during the week. A country merchant arrives in this city, and he goes into the store to buy goods I of a man who professes religion, but has no grace in his heart The country merchant is swindled. He is toe

exhausted to go home that week; ha tarries in town. On Sabbath he goes to some church for consolation, and what is his amazement to find that the man who carries around the poor box is the very one who swindled him. Bnt never mind—the deacon has his black coat on now, and looks solemn, and goes home talking about that blessed! sermon! Christians on Sunday. Worldlings during the week. That man does not realize that God knows every dishonest dollar he has in his pocket, that God is looking right through the iron wall of his money safe, and that the day of judgment is coming, and that “as the partridge sitteth on eggs and hatcheth them not, so be that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall he a fool." But how many there are who do not bring the religion of Christ into their everyday occupation! They think religion is for Sundays. Suppose yon were to go out to fight for your country in some great contest, would yon go to do the battling at Troy or at Springfield? No, you would go there to get your swords and muskets. Then you would go out in the face of the enemy and contend for your country. Now, I take the Sabbath day and the church to be the only armory where we are to get equipped for the great battle of life, and that battlefield is Monday .Tuesday .Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. “Antioch,” and “St. Martin's,” and “Old Hundred” are not worth much if we do not sing all the week. A sermon is of little account if we can not carry it behind the counter and behind the plow. The Sabbath day is of no value if it lasts only twenty-four hours. “Oh!” says some one, “if I had a great sphere I would do that; if I could have lived in the time of Martin Luther, if I could have been Paul's traveling companion, if I had some great and resounding work to do—then I should put.into application all that you say.” I must adi&it that the romance and knight errantry have gone out of life. There is but very little of it left in the world. The temples of Roueu have been changed into smithies; the classic mansion at Ashland has been cut up into walkingsticks; the muses have retreated before thrf emigrant’s ax and

tne trappers gun, ana a vermunier might go over the Alleghany and the Rocky mountains and see neither an Oread nor a Sylph. The groves where the gods used to dwell have been cut up for firewood, and the man who is looking for great spheres and great scenes for action will not find them. And yet there are Alps to scale and there are Hellesponts to swim, and they are in common life. It is absurd for you to say that you would serve God if you had 'a great sphere. If you do not serve Him on a small scale, you would not on a large scale. If you can not. stand the bite of a midge, how could yon endure the breath of ^basilisk? Our national government does not think it belittling to put a tax on pins, and a tax on buckles, and a tax on shoes. The individual taxes do not. amount to much, but in the aggregate to millions and millions of dollars. And I would yon, O Christain man, put a high tariff on every annoyance and vexation that coipes through your soul. This might not amount to much, in single cases, but in the aggregate it would be a great revenue of spiritual strength and satisfaction. A bee can ghck honey even out of a nettle, and if you have the grace of God in your heart, you can get sweetness out of that which would otherwise irritate and annoy. A :returned missionary told me that a company of adventurers, rowing up the Ganges, were stung to death by flies that infest that region at certain seasons. I have seen the earth [strewed with the carcasses of men slain by insect, annoyances. The only way to get prepared for the great troubles of life is to couqer these small troubles.

suppose a soldier should say: i nis is only a skirmish, and there are only a few enemies—I won’t load my gun; wait until I can get into some great general engagement.!! That man is a coward, and would tfa coward in any sphere. If a man does not serve his country in a skirmish, he .will not in a Waterloo. And if you are not faithful going out against the single-handed misfortunes of this life, you would not be faithful when great disasters, with their thundering artillery, came rolling down over the soul. This brings me to another point. W’e ought to bring the religion of Jesus Christ into all our trials. If we have a bereavement, if we lose our fortune, if some great trouble- blast like tempest, then we go to God for comfort; but yesterday, in the little annoyances of your store, or office, or shop, or factory, or banking house, did you go to God for comfort? Yon did not. My friends, you need to take the religion of the Lord, Jesus Christ into the most ordinary trials of your life. You have your misfortunes, you have your anxieties, you have your vexations. “Oh!” you say, “they don’t shape my character. Smce I lost my child, since I have lost my property, I have been a very different man from what I was.” My brother, it is the little annoyances of year life that are souring your disposition, dipping your | moral character and making you less and less of a man. You go into an artist’s studio. You see him making a piece of sculpture. You say: “Why don’t you strike harder?” With his mallet and his chisel he goes click, dick, dick! and you can hardly see from stroke. to stroke that there Is any impression made upon the stone, and yet the work is going on. You say: “Why don’t you strike harder?” “Oh!” be replies, “that would shatter the statae; I must make it this way, stroke by stroke.” And be continues on by week and month until after awhile every man that enters the stndio Is fascinated. Wed, I find God dealing with some | men. He is shaping him for time, and shaping him for eternity. I say, “O, | Lord! why not with one tremendous | blew of calamity shape that man fo*

the next world?'’ «od says: •‘That’* not the way I deal i*th this man; it is stroke after stroke] annoyance after annoyance, irritation after irritation; and after awhile he will be done, and a glad spectacle for an*els and men.” Not by one great smoke, but by ten thousand little strok^ of misfortune are men fitted for Heaven. Yon know that large fortunes can soon be Scat* tered by being paid onfi in small sums of money, and the largest estate of Christian character is sometimes entirely lost by these small depletions. We must bring the religion of Jesus Christ to help ns in these little annoyances. Do not say that anything is too insignifieant to affect your character. Rats may sink a ship. One lucifer match may destroy a temple. A queen got her death by smelling a poisoned rose. The scratch of a sixpenny nail may give you the lockjaw. Columbus by asking for a piece of bread and a drink of water at a Franciscan convent came to the discovery of a new world. And there is a great connection between trifles and immensities, between nothings and every things. Do you not suppose that God cares for your insignificant sorrows? Why. my friends, there is nothing insignificant in yor.r life. How dare you take the responsibility of saying that ttyere is? Do y ou not know that the whole universe is not ashamed to take care of one violet? 1 say: “\Yhat are you doing down there in the grass, poor little violet? Nobody knows you are here. Are you not afraid nights? You wiU die with thirst; nobody cares for you; you will suffer, you will perfsh.” “No,” says a star, “I’ll watch over it to-night.” “No,” say the cloud, “I’ll give it a drink.’' “No,” say’s the sun, “I’ll warm it in my bosom.” And then the wind rises, and comes bending down*the grain, and sounding its psalm through the forest, | and I say: “Whither away, O wind? on such swift wing?” and it answers: “I am going to cool the cheek of- that violet.” And then I see pulleys at work in the sky, and the clouds are drawing water, and I say:- “What are you doing there, O clouds?” They say: “We are drawing water for that violet,” And then I look down into the grass, and I say: “Can it be that God takes care of a poor thing like

your ana tne answer comes up: les, yes; God clothes the grass of the fiel<j, and He has never forgotten me, a poor violet.” Oh, my friends* if the heavens bend down to such insignificant ministry as that, I tell you God is willing to bend down to your case, since He is just as careful about the construction of a spider’s eye as He is in the conformation of flaming galaxies. But I remark again: We ought to bring the religion of Jesus Christ into our ordinary blessings. Every autumn the president of the United States and the governors make proclamation, and we are called together in our churches to give thanks to God for His goodness, and every day ought to be a thanksgiving day. We take most of the blessings of life as a matter of course. •gVe have had ten thousand blessings this morning. Before the night comes we will have a thousand more blessings you will never think of mentioning before God. We must see a blind man led along by his dog before we learn what a grand thing it is to have one's eyesight. We must see a man with St. Vitus’ dance before we learn what a grand thing it is to have the use of our physical energies. We must see some soldier crippled, limping along on his crutch, or his empty coat sleeve pinned up, before we learn- what a grand thing it is to have the ase of aU our physical faculties. In other words, we are so stupid-that nothing but the misfortunes of others can wake us no to an appreciation of our common blessings. We get on board a train and start for Boston, and come to Norwalk bridge, and the‘'draw.” is off, and crash goes the train. Fifty lives dashed out. We

escape.. We come Home in great excitement.. and call our- friends around us, and they congratulate us; and we all kneel down and thank God for our escape while so many perished. But [ to-morrow morning you get on a train j for Boston. You cross that bridge at ; Norwalk. You cross all the other i bridges. Yon get to Boston in safety. Then you return, home. Not an accident, not an alarm. No thanks. In other words, you seem to be more grateful when fifty people lose their lives and you. get off, than you are grateful-to God when you all get off, and you have no alarm at all. Now j you ought to be thankful when you escape from accident, but more thankful when they all escape. In the one case yOur gratitude is somewhat selfish; in the other it is-more- like what it ought to be: Who thinks of thanking God for the water gushing hp. in the well, foaming in the cascade,laughing over the rocks,. pattering in the shower, clapping itshands in the sea? Who thinks to thank God for that?. Who thinks to thank God for the uiw; the fountain of life, the bridge of sunbeams, the path.at sound, the great ha on a hot summer day? who thinks to thank God for this wonderful physical organism, this sweep of vision, this chime of harmony struck into.the ear, this crimson, tide rolling through arteries and veins, this drumming of the heart on the narchof immortality? Oh, my friends! let ns wake up tc an appreciation of the common.mercies of life. Get every day be a Sabbath, every meal a sacrament, every room a holy of holies. We all have.- burdens tc bear; let useheerfully besvthem- We all have battles to fight; let ns courageously light them. If we want to die righk we must live right. Yon go home and attend tc your little sphere of Unties. 1 will go home and attend to my little sphere oi duties. You can not., do my work; 1 each not do your work. Negligence and Indolence will win the hiss of everlasting scorn, while faithfulness will gather its garlands, and wave its scepter, and sit upon its throne hmg after the world has put on ashes and eternal ages hate begun their march. ‘ .X..._A - "tSSk-jA; t
