Was too late to make amends.

DON'T BE DISCOURAGE ED.

Don't Ice discouraged, if in the outset OF llic
things do not seem 10 90 on smoothly. 1t sell
dom happens that the hopes We cherish of
the future are realized. The path Of life in
the prospect appears smooth and level enough,
but when we begin to travel it we find It all
up hill and generally rough enough.
The Journey is a labor:ous one, and whether
poor or wealthy, high or low, we shall find 1t
5, to our disappointment, if We have built Oh
any other calculation. To endure what is to
lie endured with as much cheerfulness as
possible, and TO elbow our way as easily as
we can through the great crowd, hoping for
liue yet striving for much, is. perhaps, the
true plan.
Don't be discouraged, though occasionally
YOU slip down by the way and yonr neishbors
tread over you little; accidents will happen,
miscaculatIons will sometimes DC made,
things will turn out differently from our ex-
paniaiions and we may lie sufferers.
II is worth while to remember that pros
poets are like the skies in April, though clear,
soon oyerclouded. As il would be folly 10
despair of again seeing the sun because to-
day is stormy, so it is nnwlse 10 sink into
despondcncy when fortune irowns, since, IN
the common course of things, she may be
surely expected to shine again.
Don't be discouraged under any circum-
stances. Go steadily forward; rather consult
your own conscience than the opinions Of
men, though the least are not TO be disregard

THE DIFFERENCE.

A woman will take the smallest drawer in
a bureau for her own private usc, and will
pack away in it bright bits of boxes, of all
shades and sizes, dainty fragments of ribbon,
and scraps Of lace, fancy rufl!cs, velvet thing,
for the neck, bundles Of old love-lererS,
pieces of jewelry, handkerchief. fans, thing,
thar no man knows the name of, all sorts oi
fresh-looking, bright l:ule traps that you
couldn't catalogue in Il column. and any hour
in the day on night she can go 10 that drawer
and pick M any article she wants without
disturbing anything. Whereas man, having
the biggest, deepest, and widest drawer as
signed TO him. will chuck into il three socks
colar-box, an old necktic, two handker-
chiefs, pipe, and a pair of suspenders, and
to save his soul he can't shut that drawer
without leaving more ends sticking out thar
there are things IN it, and it always looks a:

.IBOUT- ILIUNDE JOE Bf .4DLEY

When Judge Joseph Bradley, the president
maker, rcsnled and practiced IN New Jersey,
hls quick temper furnished his brothers Of the
bar constant amusement. His inclination
toward piety; hi' grave and studious aspect,
and the eminent positions he filled rendered
his childish bumors astonishing TO those who
saw them for the first time, and amusing to
his associates who were aware Of the nervous
temperament he possessed. Joel Parker and
Robert Allen, ex-governor and county prose
cn,or, were once conversing in the library Of
the capiol at Trenton and were startled by
what seemed TO he the sound of angry voices
aud of flying furniture Through the glazed
book case they saw '.Joe" Bradley, who was
trying to write upon a table that wobbled
under the prcssur: of his arm. Bradley was
mutterng angrily. Suddenly he overturned
the table and sawed 1T one Of lis legs with a
pcnkuiic. The table wobbled still and
Bradley lumed with rage. Again he over
turned the table, and again he hacked at the
leg, ard then with REDEEMED face and fero-
cous aspect he seized the table and hurled it,
legs under, across the room, yelling, Now,
-you, you'll stay where You re put"
Imp0riant business in another part Of the
state called Bradley away one mOrning. He
arose, urtSSct, anu anu lft u'ttl dilt'ic
time in which to take the train, but As he
reached the front gate bis wife called his at

were t.readfuly ragged where they were

aud presently, with new trousers, strobe
toward The depot. But the train. Lad gone,
and in a terrible. rage he rot1rned 10 his bed

for several hours, and he did not get back

for several hours, and he did not get back
to the inn till midnight. sf
On the following morning he sent up to
the Hall, but Potts had not yet returned.
Philips came TO tell him that he had just
received telegraphic despatch informing
him that Potts would be back that day
about one o'clock. This intelligence at last
seemed to promise something definite.
Brandon found enough to occupy him
during the morning among the people Of
the neighborhood. He seemed to know
every body, and had something to say to
every one. Yet no one looked at him or
smoke to him unless he took the initiative.
Last Of all, he went to the tailors where he
spent an hour.
Asgselo had been left at the inn, and sat
there upon bench outside, apparently idle
and aimless. At one o'clock Brandon re-
turned and walked up and down the YER
anda.
In about half an hour his attention was
attracted by the sound Of wheels. 1t was
Potts's barouche, which came rapidly up
the road, In it was Potts and young
lady. .-
Brandon stood outside of the verada, on
the steps, in such position as to be mos'
conspicuous, and waited there till the car
riage should reach the place. Did hi
heart beat faster as he recognized that form
as he marked the settled despair which
had gathered over that young face-a face
THAT had the fixed and unalterable wretch
ness which marks the ideal face OF tn
Mater Dolorosa.

Reunion of Army Officers.

Among the ma interesting incidents
which occurred at the Bennington oenten-
NAL, was the partial reunion of the original
military family OF Gen. l.. A. Grant, of the
old Vermont Brigade. There were present
Capt. c. II. Forbes Assistant Adiutant-5en-
eral Col. L. G. Butter6eld, A. ID. C. Capt.
Horace French, Asst Provost Marshal; Capt.
A. n. Austin. A. Q. NJ. The absence of Gen.
Grant and Capt. john ]. Balm, was very
much regretted. The absent were toasted
with many kind remembrances, as was alss
the memory OF Capt. A. Brown, Jr., A. l. Gen
ton, who died during the last year of the
war, This was q happy meeting for those
who were present, and many pleasant mem-
ory of camping life was revived. 1t was de-
termined to correspond with Gen. Grant, and
aud to have a friendly reunion and dinner
during the coming winter, either in Rutland
or Burlington.
