The Discouraged Man.

A newspaper once contained an adver.
tisement for man to fill certain posi-
ton, which concluded with, .No dis.
couraged man need apply" There was
a deep worldly wisdom in this, saws the
Rural Messenger, for disbursement is
terrible drawback in fighting life's
battle. The discouraged man is defeated
in advance. He carries failure about
with him; he faints when he needs most
to be strong; he falters where decision is
most needed; he halts where he ought to
hurry forward; he cannot stand up
under the strain and burden of the race.
1t is hard that it should be so-harder
still that SO little real sympathy is felt for
encouragement. The world does not
need such a man. and has little mercy
for him; and SO he falls into the ranks OF
the unsuccessful, while he of high hone.
who is yet new in the struggle, who has
not supped the bitter cup Of disappoint-
ment and found out ali is vanity and
vexation, strides before him and is ac-
cepted where the much-tried man fails.
There is something contagious in a BUOY
ant, happy, energetic spirit, which car
ries those who come in contact with II
away, and success is as often the result
OF this strange animal force as of perse-
verance and continued effort. All the
experience in the world will not carry the
man of deep Encouragement success
fully through an enterprise.-Rural
New Yorker.

Nothing Mean About Him.

At nine o'clock Yesterday morning al
old woman sat in the Michigan Central
Station wiping the tears from her ewes.
1t was nobody's business in particular
to inquire whether she had fallen heir
to million dollars or was travelling
through life with broken heart, but
one certain man stepped forward after
a time and made some inquiries. Then
he passed around among the crowd and
said:
.'Gentleman, here is poor old woman
who wants to get to Columbus to her
friends. Let's take up collection"
In the course of four or FIVE minutes a
purse of three dollars was made up,
but when he had counted it, the man
said:
Gentlemen. let's chip in enough
more to buy..her a new dress. I'm
poor man; but here's quarter for the
old lady"
The purse was now increased to near
ly seven dollars, and the woman had
just pocketed the money when a man
stepped forward and said to the collector
of the purse:
"Why, Banks. is this you?''
''Of course it is"
''And that woman is YOUR own wife"
"Well, Mr. Knickerbocker," replied
the man as he buttoned his coat. ..it's a
mighty mean man who won't chip in a
quarter to buy his own wife dress and
help her of on q visitr'-Detroit Free
Press.
