True Courage.
tSouthern Bivouac.l


in all ages courage on the battle field has
been the theme OF orators and poets, yet the
courage Of the warrior is not only common
and variable quality, but has often been sur
passed by that displayed by women. Native
valor, too. is sometimes inferior TO that which
is acquired. Frederick the Great ran like a
coward out of his first battle Flying on the
wings of fear, he went great distance from
the field, and, coming 70 one of his own
strongholds, reported that his army was de-
stroyed. What was his surprise and NORTH
cntion TO learn that his men had gained q
great victory. He never forgot the lesson
taught, and ever afterward was conspicuous
for steady courage in action
Many instances might be given OF soldiers
in the last war who, in their first fight, were
'lily-livered, A" but who aftsrward faced with
dnuntless front thee cleaning steel; and ON
the other hand of some who were lion
hearted till taught by the pain Of a wound
tho perils of battle, and who then became
notable towards. Bravery in action, though
more admired, is really not as great as that
displayed in passive suffering. The woman
who sticks 10 her post in the pestilential
chamber is far Drawer than Alexander

CITY AND COUNTRY BOYS.

FARMER Aaus

As TO the difference betweeR city and coun-
try bows il lies entirely in the training The
farmers son may have the most intelligence
as a child, but natural intelligence must be
trained and cultivated or il becomes low cum
ming instead of wisdom The country boy
has district school, run in almost any fash
ion. while the city boy has graded schools
conducted on the wisest system. So long as
he is kept in the country the farmers boy
has no show at all compared tu his friend in
town in the matter of education.
We look to a mans personal department
before we test his intellectual abilities. The
farmers son has no associates outside Of his
own class The semi-solitary life Of the farm
has few refining influences The work mus
be done whether or no, and farm workers
cannot expect time to cultivate song and
music. He is not brought into contact at
church socials, parties, lodges, lyceums, etc,
while the refined and educated. He grows up
in his ways and he remains thus While the
social condition of the American farmer is
immeasurably superior to that Of any similar
class in any country on earth, it is not what
it could be made nor what it viii be fifty
years hence.
