Remarkable Endurance.


The Presidents wonderful power of
endurance, says the New York Times,
under the operations performed upon
him recalls other instances of the kind
even more marvellous, as having oc-
Cured in days when surgery was far
less skillful and humane than now
Lord Peterborough, the conqueror of
Spain under Queen Anne, underwent
the most frightful operation known to
science when past so, and week later
started on a journey across Europe with
pOst-hOrses, feeling no Ill effects what
ever. Nelson, naturally sickly, and
having already lost an eve and an arm,
was struck at the battle of the Nile by
an iron splinter which literally ripped
from the bone the entire flesh of his
upper face, leaving it hanging like a
veil over his eyes and mouth, yet he
not only preserved his consciousness
during the dressing of the wound, but
actually continued to direct the course
of the battle. Luigi Cornaro, the ia
mouse Venetian Senator, nephew of
the celebrated DOge of that name, hav-
ing broken the bone of his thigh at So,
bore the setting of it without flinching,
and subsequently recovered the full use
of the limb. Equally resolute, though
less fortunate, was Duke Albrecht, of
Austria, who, when the court surgeon
shrank from operating upon his dis
eased limb, placed the edge of battle
axe on the joint, and with one blow of
his mace drove it right through. He
survived this primitive surgery only
three days.

Lizzie's knowledge of this word was

all laughed, although she had said
nothing funny.

Katy's gloves were a marvel to us.
She never wore any but of good quail
ty. and always the same color-a
brownish, neutral tint, that harmonized
with almost any dress:-but just now
new pair would seem to be the one
thing needful, from the appearance of
the ones she brought out.
She sat and patiently mended the
little rents, while | read aloud; and
when she had finished, the gloves look

The next day was Saturday, and we
had half-holiday. Katy and went
to make some trifing purchases, and
on our way home stopped at the big
boarding house to see one of the girls
who was i'll.
When we came out Kate ran across
the street to get a magazine from the
new-shop, and came hurrying up to
overtake me before turned the cor

one of her hands was ungloved; but
it was not until we reached home that
she found she had lost a glove. 1t was.
too late then to go and look for it. We
went and searched the next morning,
but could not find it.
Katy mourned for it.

she, tragically; "and it is a loss that

A Plea for the Old Men That Smoke.

There daughter stop scolding! Don't worry and
And work yourself into such ire
Just about all the comfort your father can get
Is smoke by the warm kitchen fire.
Let him smoke in the corner in peace if he can,
Though the clouds of tobacco may choke
There is no one can tell but lonely old man,
How much comfort there is in a smoke.
Like free bird that hyeth from limb unto limb,
Your routine of joys you go through;
And some of them look just as foolish TO him
As smoking looks foolish to you;
We're none Of US perfect-all this you believe
Our lives should with charity shine,
Like the golden thread that the weavers weave
In and out of the dark design.
Should you live to be old-though you may never
smoke
Yet Ill wager penny or two
You will have some strong habit to tease Other
folk,
Bad as this that is worrying you
Let him smoke in the corner in peace, if he can,
Though the clouds of tobacco may choke;
There is no one can tell but lonely old man
How much comfort there is in smoke.
Do smoke No, not | Nor will | advise
Any youth the bad habit to get
But when one is old and can't stop if he tries,
Is it wisdom to worry and fret!
Let him smoke in the corner in peace, if he can,
Though the clouds of tobacco may choke;
There is no one can tell but lonely old man
How much comfort there is in smoke.
Not long will tobacco smoke daily annoy;
Soon the pipe on the mantel will lay.
And father will rest where the worms shall destroy
The tenantless body of clay.
Let him smoke in the corner in peace, if he can,
Soon he'll fall before Deaths sturdy stroke;
Then you'll miss the clay pipe and the feeble old
man.
And wish you'd put up with the smoke.
