Courage.


From the Lond Saturday Review.J
From the common talk about courage, one
might fancy it was fixed, permanent quality; on
the contrary, there Is nothing so Auctuating and
so dependent on varying external circumstances
There are not only many degrees, but many kinds
of courage: individual and corporate courage
the courage of stupidity and of intelligence, of
hope and despair. And not only are there all
these varieties of courage, but the same man
may possess, or be possessed by all of them at
different moments. 1t was the surviving Zouaves
who fought so desperately at Worth, who ran
journal we read that the Mobiles with Garibadi
in the east Of France, are skulkiDg in ditches
sc'lmperlng off across fields, or hinging them
selves Oh the ground in abject terror, while other
Mobiles at Brie and Champigny on the Marne,
are attacking the Germans with impetuous and
persistent daring. Yet in both cases the Mobiles
we're drawn from the same stock and if their
positions had been exchanged, would doubtless
have behaved in the same way. Indeed, many
of the very Mobiles who ran away from Orleans

first led back to Orleans by D'Aurele, but again
lost heart gradually in the three days fighting.
The behavior of body of troops is By no means
an accurate measure Of the personal bravery Of
the individuals composing it, or even of the ma
jority of them. The courage corporate, which
drags the coward to heroic DEATH" is familiar
feature in the private history Of armies. Il may
require more audacity to run away under the eye
Of comrades than to stop and fight but beyond
this, there is infectious spirit Of bravery which
is irresistible, and of which very little leavening
may at propitious moment be sufficient to Ieaven
the whole mass. Fear is equally contagious; and
just as many poor creature has been carried
forward, helpless, and unwilling. by the mere
force of the surrounding enthusiasm, into some
heroic exploit so have brave men been similarly
swept away in tide Of panic. II the plain, un-

STRANGE DOMESTIC ROMANCE One of the
parties to the following strange story has just
made US acquainted with its particulars Thirty
three years ago, the second son of family in
which there we're three boys, being desirOus Of
bettering his condition in life, left England for
this country, with an indefinite idea as to where
he might settle, and only once thereafter, in a
letter from New York, had his family any in-
formation that he was aliye. -Four years after
wards. the elder brother came to this country,
and has since been reputably known in this city
as a member Of one of the most active professions
We are Precluded from saying more on this head.
The week before Christmas our Boston friend
had occasion to visit Harrisburg. Pennsylvania,
from which place he took night trim for New
York. An obstruction on the railroad few
miles west Of Philadelphia caused delay Of some
hours near q small way-station. Some Of the
passengers became tired of sitting in the cars,
and went out to explore the locality, particularly
with the view to the procurement Of refreshments.
In this accomplishment there was little chance Of
success as the place could not even boast of a
grocery. There are men, however, who are not
to be foiled in their intentions if any means can
possibly be found to carry them out, and some Of
these people happened to be among the delayed
passengers and respectable-looking farm house
being near, that class Of foragers invested it,
called up the inmates, who we're enjoying the
comforts Of their last morning hours repose and
prayed for supply Of anything fluid, from cold
water to cider, tea, coffee, Bourbon, or apple
jack. The owner Of the house good-naturedly
opened it to his clamorous visitors and dispensed
bis hospitality in various ways with no unstintsd
hand What seemed singular to many was the
fact that he would not accept Of any compensa-
tion whatever. although he bad entertained at
least twenty rather ex.emporaneous guests They
were oil prodigal of gratitude, and Of offers to
reciprocate at any time
Our Boston friend was one OF the farmers
guests, and after thanking his host with genuine
feeling be handed the farmer his card telling him
that bed. knife and fork, and spoon were ready
for him whenever he should visit Boston. The
farmer looked upon the card, and thea at the
presenter thereof, ,-gazed again and again at one
and the other. and having apparently at last made
up his mind, he said

INSURANCE NOTICES.
THE NEW ENGLAND MUTUAL
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
OF 1os~oN-
RGANIZED IN 1913.
READ WHAT OTHERS SAY OF US.

From the Spectator of New York City we ex-
tract as follows The New England Mutual stands
forth a fitting type of what company should be
in regard its method Of business Seeking rather to
establish reputation for stability and soundness,
than to present novel and promising but untried and
unapproved features in underwritng conducting all
the companys affairs with the strctest economy and
adopting only those proved by experience to
be the wisest the directors of the company have sue
ceeded in establishing for it reputation for reliability
second to other similar organization in the country
Yet great is the degree of caution manifested in
the adoption Of every new measure, the company is
conducted in manner fully in unison with the pro-
gressive spirit of the age As regards its dealings
with policy holders, few companies more liberal
and honest.'
" The business of the New England Mutual is con-
Quoted in the most economical and able manner; its
terms liberal and just its success has been uni
form and extended and its perfect reaJiityaH safey
the natural consequences attendant upon the posses
sion of such features and which shoad be the great
desideratum with an insurance company, are in no
instance creeiied.'
