NE mAD. THE c0URAGs OF ms CONvIC
TlONh,

The world is full Of fatalists. II is
an easy and comfortable heliei. have
been told a peculiar anecdote on the
subject. At frontier post the officers
mess was engaged in an ardent discus-
sion. Wine had been freely pArtaken
Of, and, with one Of the strange caprices
of intoxication, there was philosophy at
the bottom of the glass. The Mahoms'
tan.religion was the subject of argu-
ment. Mussulmans believe in fate (;
for them q mans destiny is written
above, the time of his death is set, and
nothing can advance it. Every one
had something to advance or relate In
pro or con argument. In answer 10 one
of the officers, who demanded to know
of what use and to what purpose was
reason and it's controlling power, if we
were born with the tag Of our destiny
attached, another-a newcomer--arose
and said: Gentlemen, what is the
use of discussion Z? Make q practical
test of the question. Take me as a
subject. Can q man willfully dispose
of his life, or is the fatal moment cho-
sen by higher power ? Try the ques-
tion on mel Who will conduct the expe-
riment ~ No one ANSWERED.. Then
some one proposed a wager. "Done, I"
was the answer. The subject drew q
pistol, showed that it was loaded, and
held it to his temple. Twenty dollars,
I believes Who will pay if 1 lose 2"
He pulled the trigger and the pistol
missed fire. "a joke p cried the crowd.
The fatalist smiled. He reoocked the
pistol, and with steady hand aimed
at the clock on the wall, He fred and
the bullet went right through the center
of the dial. "Apologize now,' said he,
ri have won the bet. I always did
believe in fate"
