Thus these two heroes . . ished in the midst of wild outeries n their comrades, who were firing j ) and sacking the Nez Perces' lodges. 'or a few minutes tlSere was a wild exition ot hardihood.

Slow and Sure. Haste in making one's plans is less iluable than slowness and sureness in te consideration, and all dne speed and romtitude in carrying tliem ont. Hasty lpressions of things are as certain to i wrong as hasty impressions of people; id that half knowledge that results om a superficial scamper through aces is almost worse than no knowledge all. Undue haste, indeed, which ust be confounded with energetic action isely considered and powerfully perrmed, is a form of unwisdom to be jprecated wherever met with, and is ire never to come to good enda. It is ;tter to go up-stairs step by step with fety, if a little slowly, than to break >ur shins by mounting two at a time id tumbling over your own feet; and is better to come down at a sensible id rational speed than to make one ride, and that a long one, from the top the bottom, with a broken neck or a uised back as the result of your overbed. It is better to go quietly up the ountain than to rush along at railroad we and lay the foundations of a heartsease in consequence ; and in all things slow and sure" go further than rash and swift," and the accomplishent of the end is more important that, e quickness of the means by which at accomplishment may be brought out, but also may be entirely fruslrat i instead.
