perity cannot be founded on cunning and dishonesty. The tricky and deceitful man is sure to fall a victim, sooner or later, to the influences which are forever working against him. His house is built upon the sand, and its foundation will be certain to give way. Young people cannot give these truths too much weight. The future of that young man is safe who eschews every shape of double dealing, and lays the foundation of his career in the enduring principles of everlasting truth.

SOLDIERS RE-UNION.
On Friday afternoon last the old soldiers of Story County met on the fair grounds, at Nevada, for their annual re-union. The program was carried out with the usual success and the night wore away as has been the case heretofore. The program of Saturday was also carried out. The number present at one time on Saturday is estimated at from 1,200 to 1,500 persons. The roll shows 226 enrolled.
Cambridge was selected as the place for the next annual re-union, and the time the third Friday and Saturday of August, 1883.
The officers for the ensuing year were chosen as follows: Colonel, A. P. King; lieutenant colonel, Richard May; major, John O'Neil; adjutant, J. M. Brown; quartermaster, —— Wayne; chaplain, Rev. E. R. Mills; quartermaster sergeant, H. J. Hamlin; sergeant-major, P. H. Ream; surgeon, Dr. A. Patton; drum-major, —— Doty; fife-major, A. O. Hall.
The assemblage was addressed as per announcement by Governor Sherman, in well chosen language, and by other gentlemen.
Among the things that caused a ripple was the introduction of Mr. French, a soldier of the war of 1812-'15, who made a few remarks and was received with three cheers and a tiger.
The crowd dispersed in good shape on Saturday evening, and will look forward to the annual meeting next year with anticipations of another good time, at the chosen place of rendezvous. —(April 25, 1882.)
