Sidney Smiths High Courage and
Warm Heart

Subsidiary to this personal courage was his
hopeful way of looking at the world. He was
always practising and intoxicating the DISPOSE
ton. ''Some very excellent people," he said,
'tell you they dare not hope. To me it seems
much more impious to dare to despair" He had
an excellent rule for the happiness and wisdom
OF life as to the future, not to look too far into
it for inevitable, though probably distant, dis
aSter. ''Take short views, hope for the best, and
trust in God" Inclined by temperament to an
ticipate coming evils-for our wit. spite of his
atrabilous tendency, and avoided drawing
drafts on the misery Of futurity. "Never," he
said, "give way to melancholy; nothing en-
croaches more. fight against it vigorously.
One great remedy is, to take short views OF life.
Are you happy now? Are you likely to remain
SO till this evening? or next week? or next
month? or next year? Then why destroy present
happiness by distant misery which may never
come at all, or you mayineVer live to see it? for
every substantial grief has twenty shadows, and
most OF them shadows of your own making"

A WOMAN IN MANS ATTIRE NINE YEARS.
During a drunken row In Buffalo saloon
Thursday night, between John Ward, Alfred
Painton and Charles Ward (an alleged brother Of
John'S) the startling discovery was made that
Charles Ward was woman, and that her right
name was Sarah Jane Wilson, formerly of Hart
ford, Conn. She has been wearing mems clo5hes
for nine years, and has kept boarding house
for number of years. Alfred Painton boarded
with her, and, discovering that she was wo-
man, married her, continuing to conceal her
sex; but in the row he had his leg broken, when
he called for her, announcing that she was his
wife. The masculine Sarah Jane has at times
worked in brtck-yard and performed other
