THE HERoISM OF PRIVATE LIFE.
An extract from Grace Greenwood's leo-

An extract from Grace Green woods lee-
ture on the heroic 10 common life, says:
The heroism of private life, the slow, IN
ehronicled martyrdoms of the heart. who
shall remember? Greater than any knight
dragon slayer Of old is the man who over
comes an unholy passion, sets his foot upon
it, and stands serene and strong in virtue,
Grander than Zenobis is the woman who
struggles with love that would wrong an
other or degrade her own soul, and conquers.
The young man.. ardent and tender. who
turns from the dear love of woman and bur-
les deep in his heart the sweet instinct Of
paternity, to devote himself to the care and
support of aged parents. or an unfortunate
sister. and whose life is long sacrifice in
manly cheerfulness and majestic uncom.
plant. is hero Of the rarest type-the type
of Charles Lamb. have known but two
such. The young woman who nssolutely
-staya with father and mother in the old
home while brothers and sisters go forth to
happy homes of their own, who cheerfully
lays upon the altar of filial duty that cost
Hest of human sacrifices, the Joy of loving
and being loved-she is O heroine. The
husband, who goes home from the weary
routine and the perplexing cares of business
with cheerful smile and loving word for
his invalid wife; who brings not against her
the grievous sin of her sickness, aud re-
proaches her not for the cost or discomfort
thereof; who sees in her languid eye some
thing dearer than girlish laughter: in the
sad face and faded cheeks that blossom into
smiles and even bushes at his coming.
something lovelier than the old-Iime spring
ros es-he is hero. I think I know one
such. The wife who bears her part in the
burden of life-even though it be the larger
part-bravely. cheerfully, never dreaming
that she is heroine, much less a martyr
who bears with the faults of her hu. band,
not altogether congenial, with loving pa
tience and large charity. and with a noble
decision hiding them from the world who
makes no confidants and asks no confidence
who refrains from broodings in sympathy and
sentiments. and from seeking perllous ATTN
tiles; who does not build higl-tragedy sor-
rows on the inevitable. nor feel an earth
quake in every family jar: who sees her
husband united with herself indissolubiy.
and eternally in their children - she. the
wife in very truth in the inward as in the
outward. is the heroine, though rather an
questionable type.

OUR EPoCH-WRAT Shall BE IT'S

This crisis through which the nation il

question whether the poscer Of rxle is de-
veloped in the chosen leaders Of the Reruh.

There never was al historic epoch of
more pregnant import than this. And the
doubt Is whether We are to sneak through
IT like kicked puppies, or march through il
like men. In the life of every nation there
comes time when its existence trembies II
the balance. Then it is that the presenca
or absence Of ruling minds determines the
question Of its fate. But never in such
emergencies Is q nation saved By the fears
of the timid, By the feebleness of equity
counselors. All such occasions are the
spring freshets Of national life. If the rul-
er of the hour be master Of the situation.

is Men-Men who can rise to q compre-
hension Of the period in which we live

calculations and demands of trade, the

Shall there, then, be no honorable and in
