The Bright Side.

The habit of looking on the brigh,
side is invaluable. Men and women who
are evermore reckoning up what they
want rather than what they have-count.
ing the difficulties in the way instead OF
cOntriving means to overcome them
are almost certain to live on corn bread

smile upon a man who seems to be sue.
cessful, but let him go about with crest
fallen air and the very dogs in the street
will set upon him. We must all have
losses. Late frosts will nip the fruit in
the bud, banks will break, investments
will prove worthless, valuable horses
will die and china vases will break, but
all these calamities do not come together.
The wise course to pursue, when one
plan fails, is to form another; when one
prop is knocked from under us, to fill its
place with substitute, and evermore
count what is left, rather than what is
taken. When the final reckoning is made,
if it appears that we have not lost the
consciousness of our internal rectitude /;
if we have kept charity toward all men;
if by the various discipline of life we
have been freed from follies and con-
firmed in virtues, whatev CT we have lost,
the great balance sheet will be in our
favor.

banded TO twice the size of this draft
with Hamilton's aid, and finally published
in Philadelphia, Sept. 10, 1896. Sparks
never saw this Albany draft, nor could
Horace Binney and J. G. Hamilton find
it among the Washington papers which
Bushrod Washington made over to Con-
gress many years ago. 1t was, in fact,
Bushrod to George Custis Washington,
and by him to his son, Col. Lewis. be-
lieve it has never been printed; nor has
another very curious paper here, in
Washington's handwriting, containing
his opinion of the character of twen-
ty-three general officers, living in
1899, and possible candidates for
high rank in the United States
nam, B. Lincoln, Steuben, Moultrie,
Pinckney, Morgan, Henry Lee (fath-
er of Gen. Robert Lee), Wilkin-
son, Otto Williams, etc. The COM
ments on each General are just, but
sometimes severe-of Putnam, Washing
ton says, for instance, that he is nowhere
conspicuous out of his own State--of
Moultrie's temperance he expresses some
doubt, etc. This paper would be SO
agreeable to Mr.. Bancroft that can
hardly doubt he has seen it-nor can
there be any sufficient reason now against
its publication. In consequence of the
deliberations following this paper Wayne
was appointed General of the army in
1892, with Putnam and Ohio Williams
First Brigadiers. and John Brooks and
James Wilkinson Second Brigadiers.
In the same cabinet are the surveying
implements of Washington and map Of
his early surveys, before the time of
Braddock and while he was working I'M
der the patronage of Lord Fairfax and
Northern Virginia. The instruments
were made by Pittenhouse, the Philadel
phia inventor. Here also is Washing
tons silver watch-seal. lost by him on
the field of Braddock's defeat, and found
eighty-seven years after; also gold
seal which replaced it and was worn by
Washington during and after the Revo-
luton. This, too, was lost for some
years, and, like the silver one, plowed
up in a field and restored to Col. Lewis
Washington, who in 1887 was the owner
of both, as well as the Frederick sword
and the Lafayette pistol. There can be
no doubt of the genainess of these relics,
and New York was fortunate to get |
them, even at a great price.-Akbany Let |

About a week afterward a happy
group was gathered in the little sitting
room. Nettie had come home.
The small maiden's cheeks were as
brown "as berry," and her black eyes
sparkled with excitement as she narrated
her wonderful childish experiences.
Her tongue was fairly tired at last,
however, and thoughtful silence fell
upon the little company.

couldn't stop for moment, but had to
talk right on. After while he began to
get hard up for subjects, and took up
the Beecher trial. That was too much
for the beast, and it started for the noble
orator. He now had recourse to the
Mother Goose Melodies" and other
light literature. At last he got hoarse,
and as his hoarseness grew upon him his
audience drew nearer. Podger knew
that crisis was at hand which de-
manded immediate action. So he acted
and this was what he did:
First he jumped off from the stone and
stood upon his head; then he walked
upon his hands, at the same time edging
his way toward the fence. These ma
neuvers were a complete success; the
beast was taken in by the performance,
and walked slowly after Podger, aston
ished beyond measure. Slowly Podger
worked himself along, now rolling on
the ground, then hopping along with his
hands and knees, holding his ears, until
he at last reached the fence. He didn't
stop this time to show his engineering
skill, but just got up and got over that
fence lively. When Podger related his
adventures to the students they didn't
appear to be affected very seriously by
it. One irreverent young man suggested
that Podger, in the future, had better
find out whether bull or a playful
heifer was after him before he made a
circus of himself.-Bufalo Sunday Neass

THE Chattanooga Commercial says
The advantages of this section as an iron
producing country are more conspicuously
shown in the cost of fine qualities of ore,
as compared with their cost in other
points, than in any other respect. Lake
Superior ores are worth 81 so per ton in
St. Louis. Here ores that produce the
finest qualities of iron can be had, de-

Monday of this week they turned out

Mr.. Latimer ran GOO pins through the lathe
in five minutes, and he didn't consider it
much of day for making clothes-pins
either. Some may wonder where all
these clothes-pins 60 and where sold.
They are as salable as -four. Every pin
made at this factory is shipped to one
firm in New York. They are worth be-
tween one and two cents dozen at
and retail throughout the
country at five cents a dozen"
