A Hero.

The Pittsburg Despatch OF May l con-
,ains one of those commonplace histories
of heroism in the discharge Of ordinary
DUTY which we note with emphasis from
time to time. not only because OF their
own stirring meaning, but for the indles.
ton they give Of the tone and temper aud
the ruling motives Of the great UNDER
mass of American society the men and
women whose names never fnd their way
inio the papers; never even Into calls Tor
public meetings or charitable subscrip-
lions who 20 through life with one days

than to begin another the next morning /;
who know nothing Of the college gradu-
ate's lofty resolves or aims; never ana
lived their own souls asihetically ; would
set down LOngfellow's Psalm Of Life, or
Carlyle's Thoughts Of Living as sentiment
tai bosh, yet, when occasion demands,
live and die 10 their cheap homes, beside
their tools or their engine. simply and
grandiy as though all the years gone be-
fore had been Il solemn preparatory sigil.
Take this young fellow Sutton, for instance
"a subordinate OF some kind or other on
a railway train. The CONDUCTOR" the
Despatch states. sent him TO the rear TO
flag another train coming up behind. On
his way he fell on the track, aud was run
over by five cars aud the eaboose. HIS
legs were completely cut of above the
knee, but remembering his orders. he
cleared the track of the dismembered por-
tons Of his own body, and taking a flag
out Of his pocket, waved it until he had
stopped the approaching train. Withou;
this, a collision would have been i~neyita-
ble."
1t is only necessary for us to repeat the
story. All our college and school boys
have histories of countless heroic deaths
stored away with the rest of their booS
lore. They eau tell you how Cato paused,
sword in hand, and Socrates waited to sac.
riice a cock-so coolly did these old sagcs
watch Deaths coming. Their eyes will
fash, and their ingenious faces rejden.

Nelson died like woman in the first breath
OF his victory how kings have died like
kings on the scaffold, a spectacle for the
attentive world how un~numbered young
heroes in our own war leaped TO meet
death. as if he bore crowns for them.
Such facts Of history are euoblirg and
good for any American boy to learn aud
remember, be the book Latin or English.
But the notice N the mornings paper Of
the poor railway workman throwing his
own severed legs from the track. aud sig.
mailing the train before be lay down to
die, IS of more import to him than all the
and more wholesome in It's mean

Truth IN A NUTSHELL. ~-4-There are many
difficulties and objections, in respect to life as
s%urance, resting upon the minds of good men
aud the following questions have been put to US
and to others on this subject:
Has a man the right to make the continuance
of his life the btsis of bargains, Is it not turn
ing a very solemn thing into a mere commercial
transaction?
Life assurance is nothing but a mode of lay
ing up money for cne's family or for depend
enis Every prudent man that can do il, pro-
vides, while he is strong, for the time when he
shall be weak; and seeks, for the same reason.
while he is with his family, to make provision
for their wants when he shall be removed, In
one sense, every prudent man makes his decease
the basis of a commercial action. He ought to
do it. Every reason which makes it a mans
duty to provide for his family while living, acts
with yet greater force to secure for them a com.

are forbidden to fret aud worry about our future

the future by a wise providing. Who is most
likely to worry about the fate Of his wife or chill

or one who has not a cent to pay his own funeral
expenses? Ask Mr.. Kenfeld about this if you
