Keep Straight Ahead.

Pay no attention to sanderers or gos
sip mongers. Keep straight on your
course, and irt their back billings die
the death Of neglect. What Is the use
lying awake at nights, brooding over
the remark Of some false friend, that
runs through your brain like forked
lightning? What's the use in getting
into worry and fret over gossip that
has been set aiioat to your disadvantage
by some meddlesomo busybody who
has more time than character? These
things can't possibly injure you, unless
indeed, you take notice Of them, and
in combating them give them charac
ter and standing If what Is said about
you is true, set yourself right at once {;
if it is false, let it go for naught. If Il
bee sling5 you, would you go to the
hive and destroy il? Would not n
thousand come upon you? 1t is wis

you have received. We are generally

Let Us be More Sociable,

In order to increase the sum of hui

Kind and fraternal feelings with one
another. a true life consists in some
thing else than simply accumulating
property. We do not and cannot olive
by bread alone" A writer in the Jour.
nal Of Agriculture discourses on this
subject most beautifully, as follows:
1.-THE sole object and aim OF too many
individuals seems to get gain, grab
all, let the consequences be what they
may to others. The desire to aecumu-
late wealth, regardless of the comfort,
and social happiness of our neighbor4,
and the interchange of friendly sentl.
ment, should be ignored On the other
hand, we should so live and act that the
generous impulses Of our own hearts
would prompt us to extend the hani Of
fellowship to sll our neighbors, and,
looking them squareIy in the eye, feel
that glorious inward consciousness that
we had never wronged the m in thought,
word or show. Then, too, let little
deed OF love be done; let the principles
Of golden rule be exemplifed in daily
lives; let us be more sociable, and culti-
vate our convival qualities by frequent
interchanges of friendly greetings at
social gatherings; let no aristocracy be
acknowledged save that of the intellect;
let us beautify our homes; let US make
them what they should be by cherish
ing love for the beautiful, so that
BLESSINGS may attend us forever;
And whatever we pray for or do,
May our lives be one grand endelvor

Lee and His TrOOnS.

Tho great simplicity of his habits was
another ground of popularity. He far
ed no better than his troops. Their
rough, scant ratons were his as well.
There were times when for weeks our
army had nothing but bread aud meat
to live on, and not enough of that. On
one occasion some molasses was obtain
al Lees staff who was caterer that week
that is, he drew the ratIons for the
headquarters mess-set small pitcher
Of molasses before the General at din
ner, who was delighted to eat it with
his hot corn,bread. Seeing his satisfac.
tion, the catering colonel remarked,
General, | secured five gallons for
headquarters" "Was there so much
for every mess the size of ours ?" said
the General" "Oh, no. The supply
wont last week. "Then | direct,
Colonel, that you Immediately return
every drop you have, and send an order
that no mola,ses shall be issued to offic,
ers or men except the sick in hospital"
The Colonel was dumbfounded, and
never afterward boasted of his superior
providence as caterer for the mess.
When the two armies were on the
opposite banks of the Rsppahonnock in
the winter Of 1894, meat was some.
times very scarce in ours. Even the
usual halfpound per diem ration could
not always be issued. During one of
these periods Of scarcity, on very
stormy day, several corps and division
generals were at headquarters, and
were waiting for the rain to abate be
fore riding to their camps. when Gen
eral Lees negro cook announced din.
ncr. The General invit d his visitors
to dine with him. On repairing TO the
table tray Cf hot cora bread, hOiled
head Of cabbage seasoned with very
small piece of bacon, and bucket OF
water constituted the repast. The
piece OF meat was 50 small that all po-
litely declined taking any, expressing
themselves rs Every fond of boiled
cabbage and corn. bread,n on which
they dinel. or course the General was
too polite 10 eat meat in the presence of
guests who h3d declined it. But later
in the afternoon, when they had all
gone, feeling very hungry, he called
his servant and asked him to bring him
piece of bread aui meat. The darkey
looked perpleXed and embarrassed, and
after scratching his head some time
said in deprecating tone Lord, Mas
Robert, dat meat what | SOt before you
at dinner warn't ours. | had jest bOr-
rOwed dat piece of middlm' from one
of de courlers to season de cabbage in
de pot, and seeln' as you Wa gwine to

l didn't know you wanted some, tor
den would tuck piece oif'n it any

So the General got no meat that day.

A GREAT Loss.-The greatest loss, is
the loss of temper; it units US for the
social circle; it units for business, for

of loss of temper always degrades ;

cause OF an irritable disposition, of
fretful, complaining temper, always
ready to oppose, object, and find fault,
IS dyspeptic indigestion. \ person at
