Courage.

We should bravo trouble as the New
England boy braves winter, Tie school
is mile away over the hill, vet he lin
ners not by the fire, but with his books
slung over his shoulder. and his cap tied
closely under his chin, he sets forth to
face the storm. And when he reaches
the toIinast ridge, where tho powdered
snow lies in drifts, and the north wind
comes keen and biting, does he shrink and
and cover down beneath the fences, orrun
into the nearest house to warm himself?
No; he buttons up his coat and rejoices
to defy the blast, and losses the snow
wreaths with his foot, and SO Greet and
fearless, with strong heart and ruddy
cheek, he goes on to his place at school.
Now, when the fierce winds of adyersity
blow over you, aud your life's summer
lies buried beneath frost and snow, do not
linger inactive, or sink cowardly down by
the way, or turn aside from your course
for momentary warmth and shelter, but,
with stout heart and firm step, go for
ward in Gods strength to vanquish
trouble, and to bid defiance to disaster IF
there is ever time to be ambitious it is
not when ambition is easy, but when it is
hard. Fight in darkness; fight when
you are down; die hard, ard you won't
die at all. That gelatinous man, whose
bones are not even muscles, and whose
muscles are pulp, that man is coward. =
Henry Ward Beecher.

Clothes do not Make the Man.

Hon. T. L. Davis, of Iowa, is a man
of wealth, benevolence and ability; but
so noted sloven in his dress, that he
would be at first sight, generally mista-
ken for a hod-carrier. He was recently
travelling on one of the railways in Iowa,
and the following scene is reported:
After speeding along awhile, and
while enjoying good comfortable chew
of tobacco, the conductor came to him
with the usual cry Of "tickets, sir" Our
Hon. Member fumbled awhile in his pock-
cts, and finally produced the pass" The
conductor glanced at it, then took long,
scrutinising glance Mt the owner, and ex--
claimed, "You old sinner, you don't pre-
tend to me that you are a member OF
Congress, do your' Completely taken
back by this exclamation, our worthy
member said in haste, "Well, how much
is in anyhow 2" and pulled out bis pocket
book. The conductor told him, and the
necessary s'pewter" was handed over and
lie said, '.Well, now, | have great no.
ton to put YOU off the cars anyhow. DO
you think that any decent-Looking man
aoouzd take you for a member Of Con-
gressS" The Congressman sat dumb
founded, and did not recover his thoughts
till he saw another Hon, when he asked
him, ssWhat have done to Cook, Mt
Davenport to play such trick on me
as to give me ticket through, and not
make me known to the conductors! ]

A Bridegroom IL. a Fix.

| ONcE on time, in the village of B.,
in the State of Massachusetts,, lived a
beauteous maiden of seventeen, whom
we will call Fanny L., and George
B was her accepted lover. The
course of true love ran smooth, and in
due process of time. came the usual happy
termination of their wooing, and the tw lin
were made one by the bencdiction of the
holy church.
They were married early one summers
morning, and the same day travelled costly
and happily TO New York, rs the first
stage Of their wedding tour. AS com
panioa, q younger brother of the bride,
mischieyous young rascal, accompanied
them, and well would it have been for
the Apply pair if they had trusted them.
selves to their own society, and left James
at home to ornament dogs tails and spit
ball the schoolmaster.
Well, the party arrived at the St Nj
cholas Hotel. Whilo George was duti-
fully attending to the comfort of his young
wife, James, in the performance of his
duty as groomsman, went to the office Of
the hotel to register the names and select
appropriate apartments. Pen n hand, a
brilliant idea strdck him, and in pursu-
ance Herewith, he entered their uames
on thy hotel register:
James L.,
"Miss Fanny L.,
George B."
Fanny retired early, being somewhat
fatigued with travel. George smoked
bis cigar for an hour or two, and dreamed
of his bachelorhood, we suppose, and
finally he requested to be shown to his
apartment. An obsequious waiter came
in with candle in hand, and asked what
number it was.
"With the lady who came with me-"
replied George.
The waiter smiled, hesitatcd, and then
approached an exquisitely dressed clerk,
who repeated the question.
with the lady who arrived here with
me" George answered again, blushing
to the tips of his ears.
The clerk smiled and shook his head,
as if in pity at the young mans ignorance.
1t won't do, sir, you've mistaken the
house. Such things are not allowed here.

"Won't dos Why, only want to go
to bed"
"That YOU may ccrtainly do in your
own room, sir, but not in the lady's apart
ment, SIR"
"The lady's apartment! Why, that
is my wife"
The clerk bowed ironically. "All very
fine, sir, but 1T won't go down, sir; here's
the entry, SIR" i
George looked at the register and there
was the entry, sure enough, Miss Fanny
L., George B."
He saw the whole secret at a glance;
he protested, and cntreated, but it was of
no use. He called on James to witness
his veracitv, but James was nowhere to
be found. The bystanders laughed and
the clerk was inexorable; aud the poor
fellow was forced to his solitary chamber
to pass his bridal night, invoking bless
ings on the whole class Of respectable
houses" and younger brothers.

4 WOMAN,s INFLUENCE.

JUDGE O'NEAI, in the YorkviIle En-
quirer, tells the following of Judge vii
liam Smith. of South Carolina:
HE had the rare blessing to win the
love of one of the purest, mildest and
best of women, whose character has ever
been present to the writer. He married
Margaret Duff. In the worst days she
never upbraidcd him by word, look, OF
gesture, but always met him as if he WAS
one of the kindest and best of husbands.
This course on her part humbled him and
made him weep like child. This SEN
tonce, it is hoped, will be remembered,
was the language of Judge Smith to the
friend already named; and to those who
knew the stern unbending public charnc-
ter of the Judge, it will teach lesson Of
how much a patient woman's love can
accomplish. He was at last reformed by
an instance of her patient love and devo-
ton, as he himself told it:
"Tle evening before the Return Day
of the Court of Common Pleas for York
District client called with fifty notes to
be put in suit. Mr.. Smith was not in his
office-he was on what is now iashiona-
bly, called a spree, then a frolic. Mrs.
Smith received the notes and sat down
in the offico to the work of issuing
the writs and the processes. She spent
the night at work. Mr.. Smith in r,tous
living. At daylight, on his way home
from his carousals, he saw a light in his
office, and stepped in, and to his great
surprise saw his amiable wife, who had
just completed what ought to have been
his work, with her head on the table and
asleep. His entry awoke her. She told
him what she had done, and showed him
her nights work-fifty writs and process
SEES! This bowed the strong man; he fell
on his knees, implored her pardon, and
then and there faithfully promised her
never to drink another drop while he
lived. This promise, says my friend,
Col. Williams, ho faithfully kept and,
said the Judge to him, from that day
everything which l touched turned to
gold His entire success in life says
Col. Williams, he SIT down to his faith
full observance of this noble promise"
No better eulogy could be pronounced
on Mrs. Smith than has just been given
in the words of her distinguished husband.
The reformation of such man rs William
Smith is a chaplet Of glory which few
women have been permitted to wear.
To the people of South Carolina, and
especially of the York district, certainly
no stronger argument in favor of tenn
perance, total abstinence, need be given.
