A W«st Point Btery.
Two plain, ordinary citizens visited
West Point f9r the first time, and
were deeply interested in the blithe-
some cadet. With the assurance
that they ware on government
ground, and that they were finite
parts of the same government, they
went wlgfre they pleased and were
not interrupted. As the day waned,
however, they drew nigh forbjdjipn
ground—a plot sacred to the eg^ryo
generals. As they steppeSd aerate a
line, ignorant of the awfiil trespass,
a mild youth with spotless uniform
and heavy musket tan up.

and our children to realize that we
cannot too vigiJently guard its
racred fire. It is surrounded by
enemies on every band; snareB and
dangers encompass it oni every side;
ignorance is its chiefeet foe. Nations
have perished from the face of the
earth because of a want of knowl-
edge of that which was essential to
the preservation of their liberties.

used to sit poring over his dozen of
old volumes by firelight. He soon
knew them by heart and hungered
for more. But books were costly
and he had but little money.
He had eight or ten cronies, young
men who like himself were eager for
