What- ever of dissension existed was only among the coterie of general officers, the men in -the ranks being eager for battle, even though the odds were strong against us. There was no de- lay, no hitch in the promptness of ad - Vance.: The department of the Quar- termaster -General bad every .plan 4worked out in detail, and, within two days, the entire army had crossed the river, and pushed forward to within a few miles of Trenton. Morgan, with Mx hundred men, was hurried forward to the reinforcement of Maxwell, and, relieved from my duties at the ferry, I was permitted to join his column. I know not when, during all my army life, I was more deeply im- pressed with the awful solemnity of War, than as I watched these volun- teer soldiers land on the Jersey shore, and tramp away through the dust. In those ranks were sick and wounded scarcely able to keep up; occasionally one would crawl aside but the moment he was able would_ join some new body, and resume the starch. They were animated by a stern pure pose -which yielded power. Such as these were not to be trilled with. Oth :ers might scoff at their raggedness of pine, their carelessness of discipline, their nondescript garments, and vari-- ety'of equipment, but to one who had seen such in battle -who bad been with them at Trenton, Brandywine, and Germantown—they were warriors 'tot to be despised, stern, grim tight- !ere, able to hold their own against' ,, England's best drilled battalions. I i etched them file past—Wayne's, Var- inum's, Scott's brigades, and Jackson's and Grayson's regiments—marking' :the brown, dust -caked faces, the eager eyes, the sturdy, tireless tread, the ?well oiled muskets. Boys, men, gray- beards, all alike exhibited in. their traces the same expression. They were lanticipating battle against a hated foe, and counted hardship as nothing com- i, spared with the joy of conflict. Every (step brought then: closer to the grapple of arms -to that supreme test of strength, courage, endurance,., for f hich they had left their homes. They Might be poorly drilled, 111 -dressed, ariously armed, yet these were fight - ng men. It was midnight when Morgan led us pp the steep bluff, and out upon the sandy road.

At Hopewell, Washington was: holding another coup. - ell; with his „oflicors. As we swung pact we could perceive his tall figure standing in the glow of a fire, - and• there arose from the lips of our men a sudden, involuntary eitheer, breaking 'strangely upon the solemn silence of the night, The group about elm wore startled and looked about, and he paused a moment shading his eyes. "What troops are these?" he asitied, this voice cutting acress:'the distance. A hundred answered him: "Morgan's riflemen!" • "Good,' my lads'!" and even at that destance I could see his face brighten. "There will be work for you at"dawn.", With a rolling cheer, echoing down our ranks from front to rear, we an- swered, swinging the guns over our heads, as we swept forward into the dark night, There fright be discus- sion, dissension' about that council fire, but there was none in the hearts of those who were going out to die. Al- ready rumors were flying about re- garding Lee's unwillingness to engage in battle.. • I saw him as I trudged past, standing beside Wayne, the fire- light on his face, although his head was bowed, Even to our cheers he never once glanced up, and, as we passed beyond ,the radius of light, I laid my hand upon the mane of Mor- gan's horse. "Is it true that Charles Lee thinks we should let Clinton go, without fight- ing?" I asked soberly. "That was ru- mored at the ferry." ' "'Tis enough," he 'answered, his eyes upon the dark column- of plod- ding men. "And he seems to have others with him. I know not what has. put the coward into the fellows of late. Saint Andrew! the odds are no greater than we have met before. But' there'll be no lighting, lad, I fear, un- less Washington takes the bit in his teeth and orders it. I'm glad the boys cheered him; 'twill give the man new' heart." "You favor the joining of issue?" "Why not? Were we ever in`better fettle? A. retreating army le always half whipped, and we can choose our ground. Why, lad, 'tis reported Clin- ton's line stretches out full twelve miles, with train of baggage wagons and battery horses, and camp follow- ersenough for a division. 'Twill be easy work attending to them, and most of his troops are Dutch and Tories." By daylight we came up with' the New Jersey militia, lying at rest along the bank of the Millstone river, wait- ing their' turn to ford that stream; and join Maxwell en the opposite shore. From where d stood I could see the thin lines of Continentals spreading out like a fan, as the skirmishers ad- vanced.up the opposite bluffs. Down the trampled bank, men were strug- gling with a light battery, and sudden- ly in the press of figures I came upon Farrell. Ile was mud from head to foot, his face streaked with it, but Inc looked up with beaming eyes as I spoke his name, and our handp clasped. "I thought you would be over there with Maxwell," he said, pointing across at the black dots, now clearly distinguishable in the glow of sun- shine. "I was left behind, and' cerise up just now with Morgan,' I replied. "But I am anxious enough to be with my own fellows. What means that skirmish line, Farrell? Are we already in touch with Clinton?" He swept the hair out of his eyes with his great fist. "No one knows exactly, but the Brit- ish are not far off, and are headed this way. A scout came through with the news two hours ago—Clinton has tak- en the road to Monmouth." Ho chuckled grimly, glancing at my face. "And who think ye the lad was who told us?" "who?" my throat tightening. "The same you was so anxious about a few days back." "Mortimer! uric Mortimer?" "Aye, unless my eyes fall Me al• ready, it was the boy." "You are sure? You saw him?" "Well, I had a glimpse, as he came up the bank here from the ford, his horse dripping. It was dark still, and "He Went by Me, Digging. HIs'Horso With His Spurs and Lying Close." he only stopped to ask the road. 1 I knew the voice and the form—the lad is as slender cm a girl—then he went by me, digging his horse with the spurs,.and lying close. He bad a'Dra- goon's . cape flapping from his elhoul- ders,`hut 'twas the boy all rigiht. Ah! there go the guns up the bank. Now, perhaps, they'll let me take my fight- ing doge across." 'The way was open for me, at least, and 3 swung up into the saddle, and drove my horse down the slippery shore into the water. The stream was not deep, although the current flowed swiftly, and a moment later I had found Maxwell.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES, Text of the Lesson, Luke xiv, 25.35 Memory Verses, 26, 27—Golden Text. Matt. xvi, 25—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The topic of this lesson, "The Cost of Discipleship," is an all important one, inasmuch as few seem.. to see the difference between being a Christian and being a disciple. One great point of difference Is that the cost of out salvation fell 'wholly upon the Lord Jesus, while the cost of discipleshig. falls upon us. In our last lesson in this chapter we saw salvation repre' sented us a prepared feast to which all were invited. 1n Isa, 1v, 1, the in. vitation'is, "IIo, every one that thirst eth, conte * * * without money and without price." This is in accord with (Inc record of the coats of skins pre vided for Adam and Eve in Gen. di. 21; to which the Lord did all, and they bad only to accept the clothing whicb Be provided by the shedding of the blood of the substitute. 1n the pass• over record in. Ex. xii safety depended wholly upon their being under the shelter of the blood of the Lamb. In the sacrifices, if the offering was perfect, it was accepted for the et ferer. and the priest did all (Lev. t, 1-4; iv, 27,31). Our Lord Jesus Christ, who was both priest and sacrftice, having offered Himself without spot to God, has by Ws own blood obtain- ed eternal redemption for es (Heb. ix, 11.141, and therefore eternal Ole is the free gift 01 God since Ile has paid such a price fur it (!tow, 111, 24; vi, 23; John iv, 10). "I will give unto him that is athirst of (Inc fountain of the water of life freely," "Whosoever will let him take the water of life freely" (Rev. xxi, 6; xxii, 17). Since oar Lord Jesus has finished the work of provid• ing eternal redemption the only thing for the sinner to do is to plead guilty,' receive Him as his own personal Saviour and then take aim at His word concerning his acceptance in Christ, the forgiveness of sins and the possession of eternal life (Rom. iii, 19; John 1, 12; iii, 10-18: v, 24; vi, 37; x, 27, 28; Eph. 1, 6, 7: I John ii, 12). He who would put, anything as necessary to salvation between the sinner and the Saviour, such ;as reform, good works, a chatted lice, money oraught else, does not understand the grace of God and frustrates the same, accord- ing to Gal. II, 21. With this ,made plain we are now ready to consider the matter of die cipleship and its difficulties or what it costs to be a whole hearted follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Priv liege is as open to all as is the gift of eternal life to any penitent sinner, This is indicated by the words, "If any man come to me" (verse 26). Whether for salvation or disciple- ship, it must ire according to Lev. i, 3, "of his own voluntary will." Notice the three times repeated "Cannot be my disciple" of our lesson (verses 26, 27, 33) and the conditions, preferring Christ to father, mofher, wife, children, brothers, sisters or one's own life; bearing the cross and forsaking ail that we have. Well may we say, Who is sufficient for these things? '1 said preferring Christ to our dearest loved ones, because in Matt. x, 87, 1t is written, "130 that Ioveth father or mother, * * * son or daughter 'more than me is not worthy of me." The greatest lover should have the great- est love and be in all things pre-emi- nent. There: is a way today of mak- ing religion (so cal'.led) easy and allur- ing to ordinary people. Even cards and the dance and the theater are not of hell is below heaven. It is rm- thinkable that. Ile would at such lo - finite cost bo. Himself deliver no from the wrath 0) crone that we might live as we please here andyetexpect to share 1Iis glory. Is It not also almost as unthinkable that one who has been delivered by such a sacrifice should be unwilling to follow fully such a deliverer no mat- ter \how great the oust? l'autl saw it, correctly when he said, '11 even reckon all things as pure loss because or the Ia'iceless privilege of knowing Christ Jesus me Lord, for the sake of whoir 1' have suffered the hiss of everything and reckon it all as mere refuse" (Pull, III, 8.

But it may be sincerely said that the average American table has seen the potato too often and in too many un- attractive forms. "Fried potatoes" is an omnipresent Americanism, which is to blame for much of our national dyspepsia. Potatoes by chemical analysis show (boiled): Protein . 26 Carbohydrate - .,..20.9 Fat ,1 Water 76,6 'This, of course, puts them into the "starchy" class, along with white bread, rice, 'macaroni, hominy and many of the cereals. It is true that many times we have committed the sin of having "three starches" at the same meal. Investigators insist that women eat too many starchy foods. When combined with a quantity of the usual white bread, it istrue that the :average meal Is too high in starch value and still more true it is thatour usual manner of peeling the potato betore using robs it of its chief value —that of its mineral salt. Baked po- tatoes are the best and ,most economi- cal wily of serving the tuber. Even If there is it potato shortage its place can be taken by more exten- sive use of rice us a "vegetable" and by using hominy, spaghetti and parsnips, which nearly duplicate its qualities, in its .place.

It's a Regular Jekyll and Hyde Sort of Reptile. Persons of only ordinary powers of observation know that tadpoles become frogs. This process of transformation is one or the most interesting of the many curious things that go on about us every' day. The case of the tadpole and frog is mentioned that the reader may more easily understand a reptile that is round in southern California and Mexico. There are several varieties of sala- mandrine reptiles in North America, all of them perfectly harmless. One in particular lives in the desert regions of the southwest. The Mexicans call it the axolotl. it is perhaps the most curious of all reptiles. 1t is a light gray or pure white translucent reptile about seven inches to length. It lives. in lakes and ponds. breathes through gills just back or the front legs, has a long tall and caudal fins above and below that extend its entire length and four stout legs, with which it creeps about the bottom of the pond. In the region where these reptiles live long continued droughts are com- mon. Then the ponds and lakes dry tip. As the water falls evaporation be- gins. Instinct warns the axolotl that • there will shortly be no water, and he makes preparation for a terrestrial. life. Tile gills disappear, and be comes, to the surface for air just as a tadpole does wheu be is about to become a frog. As the water grows shallower the axolotl loses 15 portion of his tail. sheds his medal fins, changes from white to brown with gray spots and when the waster is quite gone takes to the sand bills and becomes a spotted salamander. The most remarkable thing about it all is that when the water supply is not exhausted lie lIves his. cadre life as en axolotl and never trlee to become a spotted salamander. 1,y experimen- tation an axolotl has beau made to un- dergo almost complete transformation and then bas been turned back into an, axolotl again.—Youth's Compapion.
