A Thoughtful Wife.

Doctor s., whilom Professor of He
brew in one Of our theological colleges,
had strong impression that his wife
was not the most tender hearted woman
living, aud it had even entered into his
imagination that she was not capable Of
deep and self.sacrificing love. In fact,
he had more than once let her see how
his mind was bent in that respect, and
be sure that it did not at all mend the
matter.
One day the doctor had gone to a neigh
boring town, to visit friend, on foot.
On his way home, and when far from any
human habitation, sudden shower befel
him-aye, it quickly came to storm,
with lightning and thunder, vivid and
crashing. The poor man was in q terri
BILE plight. He was subject to rheuma-
tism, acute and painful, and thorough
wetting by rain would be sure to bring
it on. As strange and ghostly luck
would have it, at that moment the old
sexton came along upon his hearse. He
had to drive directly by the doctors door.
The good man hailed him, and begged
for q ride.
~ shall die if get wet" he said.
"There amt room up here, Doctor, for
only one, and plaguey small seat at
that; but if you're mind to, get inside
Sakes alive! I'd rather ride in there
strong and we'll than dead"
The doctor did not stop long to con.
slider. Any port in such storm as that,
he thought, ~ be crept into the body OF
the hearse, and pulled the narrow door to
after him.
In due timc-just before nOon-the
sexton pulled up ut the doctors door,
and the good wife, who had chsnced ia
he standing ut the front window when
she saw the ghostly equipsge stop at her
door stone, went To see why it was.

Our Love Of CandOr.

We suppose it must be confessed that
we relish the caRdor of candid persons
when 1t is directed to our acQuaintances.

instructive, and entertainment combined
with instruction cannot fail of welcome
Addressed to ourselves, it appears differ.
emit. 1t may be instructive, but it is never
entertaining, and after while it becomes
positively irksome. Strangely enough,
candor never sounds the same when we
are made its object; it has altogether an
other tone. We miss the freshness,
sparkle, spice, and point which are SO
perceptible when it is exercised upon
others. In our case it savors Of envy,
spite, malice, aud then it is dull to de-
gree OF tediOusness. We wonder that
the candid person who can be so bright
and interesting should sometimes be 90
very spiritlvss and wearisome. It is un-
pardOnable when he or she has So good
a topic a. we must invariably furnish.
But then the cleverest folks can not he
always clever; and we have no trouble in
discovering that they droop and prose the
moment they begin to tell US of our de-
fects.
The candid people most of US like, are
those who are candid concerning our ad-
mirable Characteristics, and uncandid, or
at least reticent, concerning our blem-
ishes or failings. 1t is easy and entirely
natural to appreciate and enjoy the frank
ness which relates to the things we plume
ourselves upon, though they be defects
but when we are told that we are what
we don't want to believe we are, we Sc
cretly resent the freedom Of speech, al
belt we may be outwardly tolerant and
afable. And when some weakness is
pointed out that we have always been
dimly conscious of. though we have strug.
gled to make it appear - u virtue deeply
disguised, if we do not blaze out in irrl-
tation, it 10 . triumph Of self-discipline.

A Tough Customer.

Gen. Charles Clarke. Ex-Governor Of
Mississippi, died few days ago at the
age Of sixty-fve. lie served in the Mex
ican war as a volunteer, but was sent
home invalided, as consumptive, by
the surseons Their verdict DR.. Warren
Stone, the highest authority ofthe South
crn faculty, confirmed, enc lung having
perished completely. and the Lieutenant
was advised to 90 home aud lead the
qsiet life of a planter, avoiding all ex-
citepent, whereby he might prolong his
life for eighteen months, or perhaps two
years. lie went home, but did not die;
indeed, after serving in the Legislature
and several public Offices. he was
alive to head a Confederate brigade at
Shiloh. As he took parting glass with
Col. W. II. McArdle, veteran Missis-
sippi journalist, he said:
Il think you will have good chance
of publishing that obituary which you
promised me thirteen years ago. | have
outlivcd all the doctors, but | am not so
confident that I shall escape the Yankee
balls and shells which l shall be COM
PEELED to face to-day"
After the first days battle Gen. G larke
was borne to the rear wrapped in blan-
ket saturated with blood.
"You can publish that obituary now,
be has met with soldiers DEATH" was
the remark Of one ofthose who bore him.
and the obituary was shortly afterwards
published in the New Orleans papers.
Shortly after the battle Of Baton
Rouge, however. Gen: Clarke was seen
again at New Orleans. lie had been
shot through the body ct Shiloh and
left on the field, 10 be taken prisoner,
to recover and to be exchanged, and at
Baton Rouge q mimic ball brcke his
thigh, near the socket. DR.. Stone was
the surgeon who now brought around
the man he had condemned to speedy
death in 1913, and though his leg was
shortened several inches, Gen. Clarke
lived to be Governor Of Mississippi. and
to die fifteen years later, quietly in his
bed, having buried several generations
of doctors. gone through two wars with
one lung. been twice left for dead on the
field of battle, and seen his obituary
published.

throughout the day when about your
daily business.

A Boys Composition on Wood
chuckS.

Woodchucks is very curious animal.
1t is made OF hair and eyes an'l has tmo
front teeth, and cau see man With 3
gun when the eyes are shut and bcited.
1 have seen dog shake woodchrck
till both were black in the face. \
woodchuck can snivcl up his nosc, and
show his teeth, and look as homely as I
can without trying. They sit Oh one
end and cat with the other. 4 wood
chuck can get homc faster than a gun
shot. He is round all over except lis
feet, which are black. When eaten
they retain the flavor Of their nests. and
seem to have been cooked Without be-
ing pared. A fat woodchuck, when
eaten properly, is no laushin' matter.
They come up under the head of "do-
nestle animals" and think there amt
no place like home when n dog gees
for one of 'em.
