A Tribute to Ensign Bagley,
(Philadelohia Record.)
(PFhliadelpiit necoia.g
Chaplain Clark, of the Naval Academy,
in his address in memory of the late En
sign Bagley, on Sunday last, spoke some
words of eloquence, which were not only
a tribute to the first American officer
who fell in the late war, but which had
a wider application, “When a man has
lived and died for a profession,” he sald,
“the best of him is there. His profession
incloses, ar in an ornate and perfectly
adapted frame, the things that men
should lve by. They lie within the en
closure of that profession like harp
strings, and a man's alto is the touch
upon them that more or less brings out
their truth and beauty and power.”
Again, there was truth and beauty In
the thought that “each bit of diamond
dust carries in it the likeness and lustre
of the whole mass; each leaf outlines in
ite structure the tree it grows upon; each
obscurest atom of a crushed snowtlake
always shows a wonderful six-rayed
glory of the entire pattern. So the acts
of men, minute parts and fragments Of
their nature, are copies, fac-similes of
the original.”
These metaphors were not only perti:
nent to the character of the gallan
young officer whose fate inspired them
but they have a lasting beauty of thei
own: and they deserve to he treasured
in our memorial literature as an incen
tive to men mn every field of honest ef
fort to be trlie to their best ideals, ane
to rise to their highest possibilities, “Glor:
is an accident,’ says Roosevelt; but dut
done is in itself a glory which by no mis
chance of fate can ever be despoiled of it

Good-Bye,
Rheumatism.
The Right Remedy Will
Banish it Forever.
1f you would forevar be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the tortures produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who cou
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The doctor’s treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, whieh only intensify the
disease, causing the joints to gti ff
en and the bones to ache, besides
goriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is a disordered state of
the blood, and the only eure for it is
real blood remedy. Swift's Specie (S
8, 8.) goes down to the very bottom of
all diseases of the blood, and promptly
cures cases that other remedies can no
reach,
Mr. E. K. S. Olinkenbeard, a promi
nent attorney of Mt. sterling, Ky.
