s5s of course, but not impossible-and what novelist asks less :? 4 A
 The moral of the story is really excel lent. There is nothing about which judgments, both of young and old, are so nasty and uncharitable as about per sonal courage. Fighting old Charles v. once remarked, when he read on some old fighters tombstone that Che nev- CT knew fear. ' :. Then he never snuffed candle with his fingers" No honest man who has ever had tooth drawn, or made maiden speech, will de- ny that he has known that most uncom- fortable of feelings. The bravest men have run in battle and then lived to fight nobly another day." In fact personal courage is almost as much 8 matter of habit as of temperament. Does anyone believe that the cowardice of women is not due, largely at least, to inexperience and to the fact that the same self-control is not expected of them in face of danger as of men. Great physical courage is a grand thing-in man or in woman-but no man is entirely coward, or entirely want ing in cowardice Even if he has never yielded to "panic, Tit is not because the weakness is not in him, but because he has not been subjected to the onset of the sudden, unusual, overwhelming dan ger that might temporarily ''upset" him.

COURAGE.

On our first page will be found story upon which the following spicy criticism appears in Mondays Courant:
 It is said that good short stories are scarce. It would seem as if poor ones must be scarce also from the successful courses that one or two very poor ones have lately run. It cannot be denied that they are entertaining, perhaps that is the reason why they are printed, but they are successful as entertainment, not as stories. The high moral tone of a thrilling narrative now in active course through the newspapers is worth notice. A spirited youg girl hears from a young mans lips the statement that he was once on land when servant of his was in the water and drowning. Being utterly un- able to swim, the man on land ran for help; being utterly unable to swim, the man in the water perished before help arrived. For this act of dreadful coward ice the youth cofessed that he despised himself. She kindly agreed with him. Instead of telling him that she loved him she told him to go away. He went and she cried. Months after, she repented and sent for him, but he had gone to Af- rica. His ship took fire. All the passen- gers left. Suddenly wife and chi1d-not his-were discovered on board. The boats went back. He went aboard the ship again; W. and c. take his place in the boat. She ship sank, and so did he, as he had not yet profited by his early expe- rience and learned to swim. He sent her 0 note however-short and necessarily written in some haste In it he sent word that he thanked God for having given him chance to do one brave deed, and that now that he was worthy of her he died happy. She read the note, smiled for the first time since he began to tell his little bathing adventure, and then. smiling she died, The chief lesson of the nonsensical romance seems to be the fol- ly of trying to write story when the wri- ter has no brains. Just such people as that, though, do not learn lessons.
 We never saw a worse instance of the injustice of s'sn1art" writing than the fore going The story in question is we'll told; the part that sketches the young lady's has, ty scorn of what seemed like cowardice; the noble frankness and charity of the re- iected lover, and her tardy Eepeptance, strike us as done beautifully to life. The regret of q brave man at not having made every effort to save life he could not by any effort have saved, had deepen ed into morbid self-accusation that colored his recital of thestory to his ruin. The rest of the tale is very improbable,

NEW HARTFORD Is exercised about the
 liquor question. Under the old law liquor
 was not often sold publicly. Now, it can
 be obtained from two licensed apotheca-
 ries, at one hotel, and at several places
 not licensed. "No complaint" says the
 Herald, ''is made with regard to the apothecaries, but not so with the others, the man or boy who has ten cents gets what he wants. The lines are being closely drawn; on one side we have the liquor sellers, the sherifs, our lawyer
 &c, and on the other, nineteen twentieths of our most respectable citizens, and wig orous efforts are now being made on both sides for the mastery"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18th.

"AohAN0AOEN3 AuSo' AOoAA'
 MIR. ,ED1roR:-After the damp, dirty, dog-days we have lately had, the present cool, bracing weather is very re- freshing, but the autumnal signs ara some what ominons for the farmers late tobac- co crops. The Fall minstrels-the Katy dids-have already begun their controver- sy, and German. lady inquired if we were to expect no more hot weather. She has yet to learn with what delightful au- tumns New Englanders are usually favor ed. If we only could guard against the few early frosts, that are almost always succeeded by pleasant weather, our grow ing season would be sufficiently long, but that is the trouble; late Spring frosts, and early Fall frosts. Last year the farmers who lost greatly by frost bitten tobacco, determined to have it early this year; but the season was against them. First, cold, backward weather caused many tobacco beds to .sdamp off, as gardeners term the premature dying from cold dampness. Then the hot, dry season that succeeded, made it very difficult to get the plants that had survived, properly transplanted, to the field. Those who succeeded best, first, made holes for the plants, then turn ed about one third of 8 gallon of water in, drawing dry dirt over, so as not to set the plant in mud, and after thus setting did not water at all. Good, strong plants al-- most inevitably lived and thriyed, not withstanding the drouth, but small plants that in fasorahle weather would have stood transplanting well, were almost sure to die. 5aa -so. aa ldv Ts. a
 As the old woman told Miss Gail Ham ilton when giving the receipt for cakes, 'evesything depends on the bake." Some times small plant will hardly be checked in it's growth at all by being transplanted, and will ontgrow larger one whose growth has been checked by the process. hence one raiser will declare he prefers small plants, and another will assure you that they should get good growth in the bed before being moved. ~

vIcARIous AToNEMENT.

Convention literature is not a cheerful literature. especially this off year, when farmers movements, Butlerism, salary grab twaddle, and other confusing ele- ments, make political platforms a more than usually wearisome medley of ''words, words, words'' But the Maine Democ- racy ..have certainly managed to perpe- trate the best political joke of many sea- sons. It appears in the Eighthly of their enormous string of resolutions, and we give it entire, only taking the liberty of itah- cising its strong point
 Resolved, That every department of the government, being in the hands of the Republican party, they are justly re- sponsible for the evils and wrongs ill leg islation and the administration of which the country complains, iacluding the se- duction of democratic members cf con gress to the corrupt schemes of the re- publican party to rob the people of their money.
 When we recollect that the salary grab, 7" which is doubtless referred to in the fore going, received larger proportion of Democratic than Republican votes, that not a single New England Democratic representative has returned his ill-gotten gains, and that one New Hampshire specimen indignantly repudiated his back pay before election, stumped the state against the measure and then, after he was defeated, quietly pocketed tive are reminded of the following occurrence:
 Once on time young lawyer moved into town wherein the legal practice had been previously monopolized by an old county judge named Jones. Pretty soon he met Jones before the local magistrate, and by skilfully taken objections so wor- ried the old gentleman that he became very profane and abusive. The justice looked on aghast; he knew he ought to commit somebody; he couldn't find it in his heart to commit his old friend and neighbor; so he fined the young interlo- per $1O, 'for making Squire Jones swear sor
 Now, if this idea of punishing Repubi cans vicariously for Democratic sin is to prevail, we admit in advance that our load will be unendurable; but if, as has been heretofore thought just, each political tub is to stand on it's own bottom, and each political party to shoulder its own in- iquity, we doubt whether there will be much of an overturn this fall.
