MISS ROSE E. CLEVELAND.
The Presidents Sister I'm the Role of
an Authoress.
Inter- Ocean

Rose Elizabeth Cleveland was the
youngest of nine children born 10
Richard and Anna Cleveland. Her
native home was in Fayetteville. n.
Y, from whence her parents removed
to Clinton when she was little girl,
and later % Holland Patent, little
hamlet near Utica, where her father
took charge of the Presbyterian
church in 1858. Her father died in
that year, leaving little Rose an Or
phau at the age of z. The parsonage
had to be given up, and the education
of Rose became the mothers life
thought and labor. In later years she
Was sent to Houghton Seminary,
where she proved a brilliant pupil,
graduating with the highest honors
SOriginal People, was the theme of
her graduating essay, her audience
pronoun cing it a most happy effort.
Miss Rose then became teacher in
the Houghton Seminary, when, after
remaining in that position two years,
she went to Lafayette, Ind, as prin
cipal of the COLLEGIATE institute In that
town.
She afterward taught in Pennsyl-
vania at a private school for short
time, and then conceived the idea of
lectur1ng before classes. and proposed
to the principal of the Houghton Sem
mary to make the beginning at her
Alma Mater.
TIE latter entering heartily into the
arrangement, Miss Cleveland wrote a
course of historical lectures which she
delivered that season. As she devoted
herself to her agsd mother, she was
unable TO leave Holland Patent to pur
sue her work continuously until after
her mothers death ia the summer of
1882.
After this sad event her brothers
and sisters naturally expected that she
would make her home with one of
them, but being of an Independent
nature and self reliant, she preferred
to remain In the old home, where she
continued to live when not away lee
turing until she assumed the position
as mistress of the White House.

Most African travellers are now con-
fining their attention to comparatively
small areas, and they can therefore de-
scribe with accuracy and minutenesS
districts which Livingstone, Spoke,
Cameron and Stanley were able to
sketch only in broad outline. They are
compelling geographers TO revise their
notion on many interesting questions OF
African topography. Mr.. A. NJ.
Mackey, c. E.. who has spent three
years near Victoria Nyanza, writes
that our maps give a very erroneous
outline of the lake, and that SANKEY'S
charts are extremely inaccurate, which
is not remarkable IN view of SANKEY'S
short visit there. Six months ago the
vessel Eleanor was launched on the
Nyanza, and Mr.. Msckey expected
with her aid, TO make an accurate survey
of the whole coast.
The missionaries at King Mtess' o CAP
ital have just sent word that the lake
which has long figured on the map as
Lake Bahringo, and which the explorer
Fischer tried to reach last year, has no
existence. Stanley thought he had
identified his Aruwini River. the large
northern affiuept of the Congo, with
the WeIle River of Schweinfurtb, but the
researches of DIR. Junker, who is spend
ing his fourth year among the MAN
Mans make it appear that the ASu-,
wimi is known near its headwaters as
the Nepoto River, and that the Wells
empties into Lake Tchad. Perhaps
every atas published last year repre-
scented the Quango River as flowing into
the Congo above Stanley Pool, though
we are now certain that it mingles with
the Wabuma River before it meets the
Congo.
Six years ago the late Bishop Gilbert
Haven wrote, what gengraphers gen
orally believed, that lakes Tanganyika
and Nyassa were separated by dis
lance of five hundred miles; but the
missionaries who are now building 3
road between those lakes find that a
highway two hundred and twenty miles
long will connect them. DR.. Stecker
has recently found that the Diaesss
River, which appears on the map IS an
affiuent of the Blue Nile, emptses into
the Indian Ocean; and Messrs. Drum
mond and O'Neill have just discovered
that the Lucinda River, which, since
Livingston visited it, has been thought
to drain Lake Shirwa, rises in a lake
further north whose existence has Mth-
erto been unknown. So, step by step
the real facts are supersedng errone-

A Way TO Grow Wise.

After reading a book. or an article, or
an item of information from any relia
BILE source, before turning your attention
TO other things give two or three min
utes' quiet thought TO the subject that
has just been presented TO your mind;
see how much you can remember con-
corning it: if there were any new ideas,
obstructive facts, or points OF especial
interest that impressed you as you read,
force yourself to recall them. 1t may
be a little troublesome at first until
YOUR mind gets under control and learns
to obey your will, but the very effort to
think it all out will engrave the facts
deeply upon the memory, so deeply
that thew will not be effaced by the
rushing in of a new and different set of
ideas; whereas, if the matter be given
no further consideration at all, the
impression you have received will fade
away so entirely that within few
weeks YOU will he totally unable to re-
member more than dim outline OF
them.
Form the good habit, then, of al
WAYS reviewing what has just been
read. 1t exercises and disciplines the
mental faculties, strengthens the
memory, and teaches concentration ei
thought:
You will soon learn. in this way, to
think and reason intelligently, 70

Habitual Cheerfulness.

Cheerfulness may be inherent, but 10
can also be cultivated, and 10 that ex-
tent we should regard it a virtue. Is
lis very much the result of contentment:
to no great degree do outward circum-
stances determine the cheerfulness or
the sadness of men. The rich may be
sad and the poor cheerful; the fortunate
may be gloomy, and the unfortunate
full of hope; the sick may be full of the
spirit of JOY, and the strong wrapped in
morbid gloom.
Some people seem to be always cheer
full They scatter sunshine; il is pleas
nre to be near them. Ii is not necessarily
the buoyancy of youth. for often old
people are cheerful to an extent that
almost makes it contagious. They are
satisfied with the world as they find it;
they do not cross their bridges until
they come to them: they consider to
days load enough for them TO carry,
aud will not lug yesterdays load around
unless it isn't to be helped
CheerfulnesS ought to be placed
among the cardinal virtues. and its
cultivation made duty. We are bound
TO make the most of our faculties and
OppOTluHlIl0S, anu We CAL not 10 so
when we give way to melancholy
moods. There is nothing that has
such bad effect on the general health
as melancholy condition of the mind.
and it is often impossible for physicians
TO cure bodily infirmitles until the mind
becomes hopeful and elastic. Every
power. bodily and mental" says Her
bert Spencer. "is increased by good
spirits. There is no such tonic as hap
,piness." Here we have an undisputed
reason why cheerfulness should be cul-
idvated, and cultivated as the distinct
means of vastly improving other pow
.ers of the mind.
1t has been conceded that every form
of healthy mental occupation brings to
the mind joy rather than gloom or sor-
row. 1t is not those persons who think
most, nor those who are most keenly
alive to the sorrows and misfortuhes
that befall mankind, that are overcome
by sadness. but commonly the minds
that nurse trouble and unwittingly en-
courage melancholy emotions. The
weakness may be inherent, but 1t is not
the less evident that instead of Guilt
'vsting cheerfulness they have cultivated
disease. -PhaLadeLahS1 Coli.
