pour. After that the sun shone out,
and at one time the rain was falling
and the sun was shining together
And so, with alternate light and
shade, rainfall and sunshine, the
day drew on to its close. How like
is this to our experience of human
life.
"Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary."
How disappointed we are when, af-
ter a brief interval of sunshine, the
clouds again gather. We had hoped
the light might continue-but no,
the darkness comes. And so, with
alterations of light and shade, our
earthly day draws on towards its
end. But if the night is coming for
us, so is also the light of the eternal
morning! So let our hearts be
cheered. Upon its glad light no
shadow will ever come.

How to Develop Courage.

When Coppinger, who lately married
Mr.. Blaine's daughter, was stationed at
Camp Verde, Arizona, as the Captain of
one of the companies of the Twenty
third Infantry. in 1872, the writer hap.
pened to be the witness of an incident
that Sillustrates the character and dis
position of the man. A band of recruits
arrived one day, filed with fear and ter
ror of the officer under whom they were
to'serve for the ensuing five years. Re-
port and rumor had pictured Coppinger
to them as being \ pirate Captain and
prosecutor of the rank and file. Cop
pinger, alfred in suit of clothes that
might have distinguished teamster,
was in the suffers store when one of the
recruits entered. 81 would like to see this
Capt. Coppinger," said the recruit.
81 understand he's hard man." Every
body present expected Coppinger to an
initiate the new conner, but ne did not.
On the contrary, he engaged him in a
pleasant conversation, i'll which Capt.
Coppinger was abused in a manner that
caused the listeners to fear that the pri-
vate would be punished for his temerity.
Finally, when the vocabulary was ex-
nausted, COpplnger 1n1fOOuced himself
to the astounded soldier. II hope you
will think better of what you hive said"
remarked the Captain, as he turned to
leave. "Well, see here" replied the
recruit, II suppose this means guard
house and bali and chain for me, but il
l have to die for it, 1 must insist that &C.
cording to all reports, you are a ~
tyrant." Coppinger looked the fellow
in the eye a minute. III like your cour.
ave." he said, when at length he broke
the silence. "Come up to my quarters
with me. 1 have some old bourbon there
that will develop IT," The recruit was
soon afterwards commissioned az cor

What the People Drank Six Hun
dred Years Ago.
From the Ninteenth Century.

From the Ninteenth Century.
The poor man had little to sweeten
his lot. The bees gave him honey, and
long after the time I am. dealing with
people left not only their hives to their
children by will, but actually be-
queathed summer flight of bees to
their friends; while the hive was claim
ed by one, The next swarm would be-
come the property of another. AS for
the drink, it was almost exclusively
water, beer and cider. Any one who
license, and every body who was at all
before the world did brew his own beer
according to his own taste. But in
those days the beer was very
different stuff from that which you are
familiar with. TO begin with, people
did not use hops. Hops were not put
into beer until long after the time we
are concerned with. l dare say they
favored their beer with hoarhonnd and
other herbs, but they d,d not under
stand those tricks which brewers are
said to practice nowadays for making
the beer "heady" and sticky and poison
GUS. l am not prepared to say the beer
was better, or that you would like it;
but / am pretty sure th.t in those davs
it was easier to get pure beer in a coun.
try village than it is now, and if q man
choose to drink bad beer he had only
himself to thank for it.
There was no such monopo-
ly as there is now. am inclined TO
think that there we're very great many
more people who sold beer In the coun
try parishes than sell it now, and am
sorry to say that the beer sellers in those
days had the reputation Of being rather
a bad lot. It isquite certain that they
were very often in trouble, and of all Of
fences punished by fine at the manor
courts none is more common than that
of selling beer in false measures. To-
bacco was quite unknown; it was first
brought into England about three hun
dred years after the days We are deal
ing with. When man once sat himself
down with his pot lie had moth
ing to do but drink. He had no pipe to
take on his attention fir om his liquor. If
such a portentous sight could have been
seen in those days az that of man vom.
lting forth clouds of smoke from his
mouth and nostriis, the beholders would
have undoubtedly taken to their heels
and run fer their lives, protesting, that
the devil himself mad appeared to them,
breathing forth fire and flames. Tea and
coffee, too, were absolutely unknown.

An Appreciative Listener.

One day Joaquin Miller was invited to
dinner by lady who asked him because
she had met him at other houses. and
had noticed the attention and Difference
which were paid him. Miller accepted
the invitation, and did all in his power
to ingratiate himself with his hostess.
Among other things, he recited some of
lis poetry to her. This is a weakness of
Miller's, as it is of other great men. Well,
the hostess listened With rapture to the
poets verses and waited for the end
without resorting to any feminine advice
to divert him from his flendish purpose
When he had finished, the lady sighed
and murmured estatic:ally "How beauti-
tul! Whydo you not print ssme of your
poetry, Mr.. Miller?" Tie poet was pro-
jected to his feet instantly. He
was choking. s''Print!" he suffered and
stammered. "Why, d-t it, Madam"
He turned and limped to the door with
out finishing the sentence, He reached
the hall. got into his overcoat, and sworc
under his breath during the whole oper-
alton. He slapped his hat on his head
grasped his cane and slammed the OUT
er door behind him. -lFroude's Music

Two Bits Of Mysterious Gossip.

Chicago Times.
The illness of Judah P. Benjamin,
which has compelled him to abandon
his law practice, has brought out the fol-
lowing bit of gossip, which appeared in
the Indianapolis Journal: "Benjamin's
domestic life was unfortunate. His wife,
Il beautiful woman had cloud npon her
reputation. Mr. Benjamin, who then lived
IN New Orleans, used all the devices of
intellect, money and personal prestige to
have her received into good society-to
no purpose. He gave magnificent par
ties, to which all the men in New Or
leans went, but at which not a woman
appeared. He went to Washington as
Senator from Louisiana, Orgnized a
splendid establishment and repeated
his endeavor to secure favor for his
wife, with no success. She went
to Paris, de- ermined new
er to return to the United States. Again,
at the auction of her elegant household
goods, he said bitterly to a friend that
he was bankrupt in purse, heart and
reputation. Mrs. Benjamin refused to
live away from Paris. Mr.. Benjamin
felt obliged to live in London, and he
paid her frequent visits and INDUCED
her without limit" This story is wholly
untrue. Mr.. Benjam,n's wife bad no
cloud on her reputation. On the con.
trary she was one OF the most accom-
plished and estimable ladies in New
Orleans. She belonged to a family OF
wealth, and moved in the highest social
circles. Mr.. Benjamin's marital exper.
