For the Vermont watchn
Courage.


NV attention has been called of late to the
subject of courage, and | am somewhat sur
prised TO fiud what a constant demand there
Is for il from both men and women, and in
all stations OF life. The individuals are few
in life, that have come TO years OF maturity,
who have not had the alternative set before
them of courageously pulling through waves
of trouble in some shape, or OF being over
whelmed and carried down by them. Ger
Lainly since the world began courage has
been a large element OF success in all its
noble enterprises and in its many and
great undertakings. Moral courage may
| hot always be as apparent as physical
courage, yet it is the highest form of cour-
age, and without it there can be no real
greatness aud nobility of character 1t
takes no ordinary kind of courage to steadily
| refuse TO do wrong and make no compro-
mise whatever with sin. tits agrand thing
to see man facing popular opinion, if need
be, and calmly and fearlessly, yet courteously,
defending his honest convictions; even
those who scoff and oppose must have a Sc
cret admiration aud respect for such loyalty
TO ones belief. The times need those who
dare to be called bigoted and narrow-minded
men and women of oral-backbone who
stoutly resist the tide of evil that rolls in
L upon us ike uOOu, anu tuhuk neaNell
| there are many such brave souls in the world
In moral courage, women seldom need give
place to men, aud they usually endure long
continued suffering with heroic patience
aud fortitude rarely attained by men, but
they are often deficient in that courage
which enables them to meet sudden peril
with composure, aud thus give the assistance
which the circumstances seem to require
This courage is not boldness nor brayado
and is in nowise an unwomanly trait OF
character, but is wholly consistent with
feminine grace, refinement aud tenderness
of feeling, and is greatly to be desired. The
cases are not so inirequent as Que might sup
pose when life or death depend entirely upon
| the undaunted courage and action OF women.
| Courage seems TO be born in some natures,
while others are naturally timid aud fear
full and yet courage in measure is the re-
suit of education. The games and amuse-
ments OF boys have tendency to make
them bold, daring and hardy but girls do
not have this training, and hence parents
should make special efforts to fit them Ia
meet the exigencies of life with cheerful
! active courage. There is deal OF unwiss

The Surprise Of Unbelief.

Why are Christians so surprised when
God answers prayer? Why is it regarded
as an unusual thing? One instance of evil
dent answer is repeated aud re.repeated as a
wonder almost too great to be believed. I'm
belief is at the root. Is it such a strange
thing that God should fulfil his promises
Would it not be more strange if he failed to
do so? We marvel when God answers our
prayers, and Jesus marvels at our unbelief
which shuts the door against his answers.
According to our faith it is done to us, and
it is the very reason SO little is done. Faith
is so weak, that answers to prayers are nee
essarily few. Stronger faith would bring
richer blessings. When we believe enough
to expect God to do all that he promises,
answers to prayers will become as common
as daily favors from the kindest parents.
Our loving father will give literally when
we believe undoubtedly. His hand is al
ways stretched out to give, but ours seldom
held out to receive. Those who wait on the
Lord renew their strength, while those who
ask and haste away receive nothing. 1t is a
singular experience to regard Gods promises
as "yea and amen," because our evil hearts
OF unbelief suspect they are not quite true.
He that believeth shall not be ashamed. o
Lord increase our faith l---Seiec,ed

Rejoice EvermOre.

"The kingdom of heaven is within you,"
and despite all that has been said about this
world being vale of tears, the Christian
should be able to observe tue apostolic in-
junction, and "rejoice evermore." With
the few years of earthly trouble and disap.
pointment, and the endlessuess and per-
lection OF eternity, why should the Chris
tian be sad 1t is said of the sainted Dr..
Muhlenberg that in his later-shall we not
say wiser years he regarded with less
favor his sorrowful if beautiful hymn, ." /
would not live Away" Not that he. de-
sired longer earthly life but that earthly
troubles seemed so infnitesimal contrasted
with the endlessness and perfection of heaven,
that he would rather sing the joyousness of
heaven than mourn in miuor-keyed verse
the sin and sorrow of earth. When we gaze
upon thing of surprising beauty all sense
OF the deformed and unlovely passes out OF
sight,-the eye cannot see both with the
same focus. The more we think on the
King in his beauty, the less we shall find
time for bewailing the fading crowns of this
world.-Selecfed

Our Only Hope.

We lately heard minister, whose head
was white with the SHOWS OF many winters,
remark, in a conference eprayer-meeting, that,
as years advanced, one was often made to
feel that his room might be better than his
company, and that in old age the soul must
depend on Jesus only.
The remark was made in an excellent
spirit, and the moral drawn from it was the
best possible. If, however, our aged friends
think that they alone feel the coldness of
the worlds scant welcome, they are mis-
taken. 1t is the common lot of humanity.
The child is not always welcome, even in
its own home Many-perhaps majority,
even-of the best parents sometimes, in
hours of weakness or weariness, wish their
children were somewhere else rather than
constantly under foot, carrying confusion
like perpetual tornado whose movements
no weather bureau can predict Often, il
the growing member of society could see its
position as Others see it, it might be tempted
to give up the struggle Of life in despair be
fore it was fairly begun. Fortunately it
does not see aud realize its position. Aud
yet even childhood is not without its vague
feeling of not being wanted, and its bitter
disappointment when its efforts to do par
ticularly well result in signal failure.
The young man is not always wanted. In
the fullness of his overiowing life he may
rather take pleasure in the thought Of com
pelling an unwilling world to make room
for him but his cheerfulness rises from
the determination with which he meets the
difficulty, and not from the absence of the
difficulty itself. In the battle of life men
crowd each other, and sometimes even sin
cere friends wish TO get rid of each other
The young man, If his life is TO be success
full one, must not be over-sensitive TO his
welcome among his fellows.
The middle-aged man isnot always wanted
His competitors in business do not want
him neither do the score of men who expect
TO crowd into his place the moment it is left
vacant His friends, perhaps, are weary oi
collisions with the dogged resolution or tn,
ceaseless activity which necessity has forced
him TO cultivate. II he has wealth, perhaps
he may not be very old before those abou
him seem sometimes to regard him as a hin
drance to their plans and their enjoyments
Altogether, he will at times doubt whether
the householder can do better for his family
than 10 see them fairly started on life'
journey, and then to emgrate to a bette
country, that is heavenly.
Wemake no mention of woman's peculia
trials, not because they are few or small, bu
there are many pens belonging to member
of the human family, which, after plnng
in the ink OF experience, can describe thos
trials much better than we can.

The Joke on the Archbishop.

On the piazza at the United States a
merry group was seen. The laughter was
louder than usually breaks upon the stiff
conventional propriety which reigns among
the fashionable cliques who survey one an
other. II was group of clergymen, and
one was telling a racy story which he had
just heard. The Archbishop of Canterbury
had dread of paralysis, and made it sub
ject OF prayer that he might escape the
calamity. A grand concert was given in
London, and distinguished duke and
duchess invited the archbishop to accom-.
pany them and take seat in their private
box. The archbishop occupied a seat be-
tween the duke and duchess. Before the
evening was over, the duchess manifested
great uneasiness She not only fdgeted,
but she made grimaces She would bound
from her seat, and her manner was distrdi
The duke gave her reproving glances, and
by his manner led her to understand that
her behavior bordered on the indecorous.
The attention of the husband and wife was
now directed to the archbishop, who meekly
folded his hands upon his breast and said
at has come at last it has come o
Lord, give me patience TO bear it," I" Bear
what your lordship2" inquired the duke.
Paralysis said the archbishop. al have
feared it and prayed against it," "But,
said the duke, "don't you think you are
mistaken | see nothing unusual in your
looks" al cannot be Mistaken" said the
archbishop, "for have been pinching my
leg vigorously all the evening, and | have
no sensation in it," "Ohr' cried the
duchess, =" it is my leg that you have been
pinching, and did not know what to make
of it." The telling OF this absurd story
created such merriment among the rever-
ends that for time they forgot all of the
ailments which necessitated visit to Sara.

Formation OF Character.

If somebody should give me diamond
to carry to Europe, can know exactly how
much would be lost to the world were to
drop 1t into the sea but If seed should
be given me, can only regard it with awe
as containing concealed within it the food
of untold generations. That is the differ
snce between looking at the truth as dia.
mond or as "a seed,-as final or germinal.
In all training of character, continuity aud
economy must be supreme. The notion that
character is spontaneous is held by most
people in the earlier portion of their lives,
and is wrong When they discover this,
nine-tenths change TO the other extreme.
This is wrong too. Hosts of young men
think that their character will form Of it.
self, and they will necessarily become bet
ter as they grow older. Hosts of old men
believe that their character is fixed, and
that it is impossible for them to become bet.
ter. Such beliefs are foolish. People are
also wrong in thinking that they can put of
their bad traits and put on good traits. The
old failures cannot be thus transformed
but out of the old habits new can be formed
This is what many poor creature needs to
know. We must make what we are 10 be-
out of what we are already.-Rev. Phalips

an incident in the flush times a dozen years
ago. young man gave TO an old friend a

Necessity Of Perseverance,.

In the heathery turf you will often find
plant chiefly remarkable for its peculiar
roots; from the main stem down to the
minutest fiber, you will fad them all ab-
ruptly terminate, as if shorn or bitten off,
and the quaint superstition of the country
people alleges, that once on time it was a
plant of singular potency for healing all
sorts of maladies, and therefore the great
enemy of man in his malignity bit off the
roots, in which its virtues resided. The
plant with this odd history is very good
emblem of many well-meaning but little
effecting people. The efficacy Of every good
word lies in its completion, and ali their
good works terminate abruptly, and are
left off. The devil illustrates their efficacy
by cutting off their ends; their Improbable
history is made up of plans aud prof
schemes of usefulness that were never gone
about, and magnificent undertakings that
were never carried forward.-James Hama.

Seleff MisreHany.


My blue-eyed pet, with golden hair,
Is sitting on my knee.
And gazes eagerly afar,
Across the beach, beyond the bar,
Where rolls the restless sea.
She puts her little hand in mine,
And laughs with childish giee,
To see the foaming billows splash,
As on the shore they sercely dash.
Then glide back silently.
But while she laughs so merri.y,
My heart is far away;
And, as look upon the shore,
whereloud and long the breakers roar,
My sad soul seems to say
The sea IL like human life.
II breaks upon the shore
OF time, with a resistless might
And. when the goal Ia Just in sight,
Dies-to return no more.
." And all along the shore Of Time,
Full many wreck doth lie;
The pangs Of many a mad carouse.
or blasted hopes and broken vows.
OF happy days gone by"
Yet, while l muse in mournful mood,
And gaze upon the sea,
My blue-eyed pet with golden hair.
Whose heart has never known a care,
Whose voice ia music in the air,
stu ats upon my knee.
Her head Is resting on my breast
Her eyes In slumber deep
The same rough sea, whose breakers roar,
And madly, fiercely lash the shore,
Has lulled my child to sleep. Selected.
