' ax Vol. "a, NO. y.
Deeds, Not Words.

An old English writer has said !:
Words are the daughters of men
The sons ofGod are deeds and there.
fore it is that the man of deeds is
always greater than the man of
words"
The people have never failed to
endorse the truth of this statement
Wellington, Napoleon, George Wash
ington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin
Franklin, Andrew Jackson, and 9TH
ers who can be brought to mind
we're men Of few words. And. yet
the omission of their names from Che
pages of history during the last cen
fury, would leave a blank, where
now shines out ia refulgent letters
the record of great deeds. Gen.
Grant has made no speeches, and yet
no history of the United States for
the last decade would DO complete
without his record, All history un-
ties in testimony of the fact that few
orators have ever made permanent
impression on the institutions of any
country. Revolutions have been ac-
complished by an iron will directed
by an intelligent mind Empires and
republics have been built by actions
and not by oratory. Men admire
heroism which necessitates sacrifice
and labor, rather than oratory whose
influence passes away with the breath
which inspires it. Therefore it is.
that men like Washington, Jackson
and Grant, are chosen Presidents in
great emergencies, rather than the
Patrick Henrys, the Otises, the Sey-
mours and the Doolittles. The steady
hand is more to be trusted than the
flexible tongue. History repeats it
self continually, because the human
mind is always the same end like
causes produce like effects.

We thus see that the protrusion of
the lips, especially with young chill
dren, is characteristic of sulkiness
throughout the greater part of the
world. This movement apparently
results from the retention, chiefly
during youth, of primordial habit,
or from an occasional reversion TO it.
