For the Montgomery County Sentinel
GREATNESS.

The word great when applied to per-
sons is apt to be associated with the per-
formance Of great deeds, such as con-
quering battles, being skillful in diplo-
macy, pursuing literary fame, making
wonderful discoveries or amassing golden
treasures There is another sense in
which the term great may be more strict
ly applied A man to be truly great
must lead pure and holy life. He must
be able to govern himself and not be the
slave Of any vice.
Greatness may shine forth in the home
circle, and in the daily routine of social
duties and exert more potent influence
than when displayed on the great thor
oughfares of life amidst the applause of
the mighty throng. None but great
men can bear with mecknes6 the many
ills which assai the mortal state.
True greatness cannot be subdued by
the stern frowns of fallen fortune neither
can it be dazzled by a1 elevation from
some lowly path to the highest pinnacles
of wealth or power.
A great mind is generous in its hear
ing towards others. Alexander the
Great won that title from his prowess
in military achievements, but the greatest
act of his life was his generosity to
Porus, the captive king. We may
search annals ancient and modern sacred
or profane, and find that they are only
great who obey the Divine law and who
do unto others as they would have others
do unto them

Hint for POverty.cursed Bellies.

The other day a groceryman gave u
large party, at which tho daughter of
the carriage painter who lived next door
created decided sensation. II was not
that she was more handsomely attired
than the other ladies present, but when
she gyrated in the dance Of death, !" she
was observed to display the ouly pair of
pink silk stockings in the room. She
left the house for few moments at the
expiration Of the dance, and in the next
waltz exhibited pair Of light blue
dittos. An hour later her crnshed and
exasperaied female friends bcbeld these
suppleme nted by further hose OF delicate
chocolate shade And SO it went on un-
til her miserable rivals determined TO
follow her the next time she disappeared.
They tr, ccd her to her fathers paint
shop IN tho back yard, where she was
discovered brush in hand, and about
ornamenting her neither cxtremiiics with
IA final artistic coat Of light salmon. The
exulting spies rushed back with tho
damaging news, but it was 700 late.--
The men were too tight to understand,
the music had gone home, and the lights
were being put out. Thus il is that
fraud aud duplicity triumph, while honest
simplicity walks around with darn on
its calf and a hole at its heel.
Always bound TO follow suit-Your
tailor's bill.
A metaphysical connndrum--what is
that which increases the effect by rcduc-
ing the cause A pair Of snuifers.
If you put two persons in the same
bedroom, one with the toothache and the
other in love, the ono with the toothache
will go to sleep first.
A young man in Jamaica Plain woke
up the other night aud saw ghost IN
his room. Selling bis six shooter and
be approached it aud found it was his
collar standing on the floor. Ho calls it
a case Of collar in phantom.
A woman quarreling with her hus-
baud told him che believed If she was
to die he would marry the DEVILS eldest
daughter. "The law does not allow man
to marry two sisters" replied the hus-
band
Father" said a boy who got kicked
in the face by mule that he was annoy

as VAST "No, my boy, you will
never be as good looking, but then
you will bo far wiser" answered the
parent.

Heroic Conduct of Colored Men.

During the recent great food in the
Potomac river a Miss Milburn and two
children of Mr. Houser, at Mason's Is
land, were drowned. Tho particulars Of
the affair, which are as follows, show
that two colored men were also drowned
whilst heroically striving to save the i'm
periled family. The island was over
flowed aud the inmates forced to leave
their house and take refuge in a tree -
While they were in this perilous situa-
tion a crowd of men gathered on the
river bank opposite the island, but took
no steps for their rescue until a colored
man stepped forward and said that he
hardly expected to get back alive, but
that he could not stand still and see the
people drown. He was quickly joined
by another colored man, and taking off
their coats and handing them to a by
stander, they put out for the island -
They reached it safely and started back,
having in the boat with them Miss Mil
burn and two children, intending to re-
turn for Mr. Houser, his wife and the
other child When a part Of the way
across their boat was swept against a
tree and upset, drowning one of the men
and one child, while Miss Milburn, the
other child and the remaining man sue
ceeded in catching hold of the tree -
They remained there from 3 o'clock Sun
day afternoon until three o'clock on Mon
day morning, when the tree and its liv-
ing burden we're swept away. A crowd
remaired on the bank beside FIRE all
night long, listening to their cries. but
were unable to rescue them. Mr. Hou-
ser, his wife and the remaining child
stayed in tree near the house all night
and we're saved The names Of the he
roic colored men could not be ascertaiDed
but their noble conduct in facing death
to succor those in distress is worthy of
the greatest admiration.

An Awful Nose.

Joseph Thompson, candidate in the
late municipal campaign for the Mayor
atty of Baltimore, has acquired quite
reputation as a wit In lecture on
"Humors of Politics" before a club in
Washington city the other night he de-
scribed beautiful nose that he met with
in that campaign worn by an assuming
influential politician. He was introduced
to the man wearing the o.namented pro-
bosis:
II looked upon bin; there was an air
of importance lowering around him that
made one feel that IF you wanted the
dog star took down aud weighed" there
was the man to do it, Upon his face
was hung nosd and oh, gracious, what
nose it "loomed up like a lamp on
London bridge on foggy night" How
many years of patient, unceasing prac-
tice was required to ornament nose up
to that style and dimensions You have
seen portraits hung up against the wall
that the eyes seemed to gaze upon you
no matter what position you took That
nose was Just such a masterpiece it
glared upon you from all standpoints,
front or rear, like smothered calciam
light that bad gone out and left a ruddy
glare; blush that was once upon bis faco
must have passed of upon his nose, and
lingering there a littlc while remained
entirely, and intensified not only an in
tense blush, but an eternal blush plant
such nose and then unearth in after
years and it would be blooming STILL
