He was called to be president of the college he had attended in his early life. What happiness it gave him, as he recalled old times, and the awe with which he had regarded the head of his old Alma Mater. He had feit that the degree he had there attained was a great honor, and to be placed where he could confer the same on others was in deed a great pleasure. Many of those aspirants were the sons of his old classmates and companions in former times. Then, too, it would bring him once more to hiz old home, and he could be close at hand with his_parents in their declining years. His wife urgsd him to accept the offer, because she felt it to be for the and greatest good for her husband family, and was desirous of herself in his old home and cl his old friends for her ogn. She felt also, that greater factlitios for the children in their education could be obtained from a permanent home rather than In the roving life which they had thus led. As for the children thay were wild with joy at sceing Grandpa and Grandma and all t uncles and aunts and cousins, Wwho had till now been only nice names to them Bo it came about that they all came to the old home tawn, and the result justified their deeiston.

A series of disasters had cuiminated in this pitiful bivouac of an army In rags with no pay and with mcent rations. In the darkeat hour of our fortunes distress and disaffection pervaded the army and the patlon. Upon the blame- loss head of Washington the heaviest reproaches and compleints descended. But he bere them in silence. It was observed that the commander retired each day to a grove in the vieinity of the cimp. When curiosity prompted a friend to follow him the Father of His Ceuntry was observed oa his knees supplicating the God of hests in seeret prayer.
