TWO SORTS OF COURAGE.

Commodore Garrison was once
captain of steamboat on the Mis-
sisissippi, and while selling tickets
one day happened to rouse the ire of
passionate old man, who drew his
pistol, and presenting it at the mar
row window, full in the Captains
face, fired.
The cap snapped. He tried Sec
ond time, and again failed. Garri-
sons pistol lay within reach, but, in
stead of taking it up, he quietly
opened drawer, took out box of
percussion caps, and, handing it to
his would-be murderer, said:
''Take new cap; yours don't
work WE'LL"
The furious man stared at him
moment, then burst into a laugh and
held out his hand.
Another kind of courage is exem-
plifed in a story told of young
New York inventor, who, about
twenty years ago, spent every dollar
he was worth in an experiment
which, if successful, would introduce
his invention to public notice and in
sure his fortune-what he valued
more, his usefulness. 1t failed. The
next morning the daily papers heap
ed unsparing ridicule on him. Hope
for the future seemed vain. He
looked around the shabby room,
where his wife, delicate little wo-
man, was preparing breakfast. He
was without a penny. He seemed
like fool in his own eyes; all these
years of hard work were wasted. If
he were out of the way, she could re-
turn to her friends. He went into
his chamber, sat down and buried
his face in his hands, with desper-
ate resolve to end it all. Then, with
a fiery heat flashing through his
body, he stood erect.
SIT shall succeed" he said, shut
ting his teeth. His wife was crying
over the papers when he went back.
"They are very cruel" she said.
"They don't understand. I'll
make them understand" he replied,
cheerfully.
cit was fight for SIX years." he
said afterwards. "Poverty and sick
ness and contempt followed me. I
had nothing left but the dogged
determinationlthat it should succeed"
1t did succeed. The invention was a
great and useful one. The inventor
is now a prosperous and happy
man. s'Be sure you're right he says
to young men, s'then never give up"

KEEP IT PURE.

The Life is the BIOOd-Prevent Diseasc-Sur-
gerry tho Last ResOrt-A Telling Letter.
Here is fact for you to think over, viz. Medical
science proves that diseases, matter how great
variety they seem to have, proceed from compara-
lively few causes. 1t is for this that some
single medicines relieve or cure so wide range of
complaints-some of til en- appearing almost direct
ly opposite in their natures. When medical prep
aration acts at upon the digestive and urinary
organs, and also puries the blood, the list of diff
cultles subject to its control is astonishing. But
while many things are said to possess this power,
those which actually do exert it very rare.

What the Mother Says.

Yes, know there are stains on my carpet,
The traces of small muddy boots;
And l see your fair tapestry glowing
And spotless with blossoms and fruits!
And know that my walls are disfgured
With prints of small fingers and hands;
And that your own household most truly
In immaculate purity stands.
And l know that my parlor is Uttered
With many old treasures and toys;
While your own is in daintiest order,
Unharmed by the presence of boys
And l know that my room is invaded
Quite boldly all hours of the day;
While you sit in yours unmolested,
And dream the soft quiet away!
Yes, know there are four little bedsides
Where must stand watchful each night;
While you go out in your carriage,
And flash in your dresses so bright.
Now 1 think I'm neat little woman;
like my house orderly, too;
And I'm fond of all dainty belongings;
Yet would not change places with you.
No! keep your fair home with its order,
Its freedom from bother and noise;
And keep your own fanciful leisure,
But give me my four splendid boys.

TRUE MARRIAGE. = 1t must be
borne in mind that there is purpose
of usefulness rather than an oppor-
tunity for the indulgence of luxury
and ease in true marriage. There is
no music in a home like a wife's
song, as she goes about her duties,
singing away dludgery, putting
housework to metre, and lifting it In
melody to heaven. Education is
now, in our public schools, turned to
fitting women for the practical duties
of life; and prospective wives are
being taught to sew and cook and
keep house. Heretofore too many
have been educated apparently for
the divorce court. A boarding school
diploma and bill of divorce have
completed many young woman's
education. The rest of life was but
the dried and framed wreath from
the corpse of buried joy.-Presbyte-
7idn.

Stern necessity-the rudder of the

Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1885-07-20


The relative speed of English and
American railway trains has been a
subject of much heated discussion
between travellers representing John
Bull and Uncle Sam. A writer in
the forthcoming (August) Ha,per's s
in a paper on ''English and Ameri-
can Railways" discuss the question
in some detail, and sums up the con-
trovesy by declaring, ''The truth of
the matter is that we have trains in
America which are as fast as the
fastest trains in England, and that
they have trains iu England which
are slow as the slowest trains in
America" though the average speed
is greater in England because of bet
ter road-heds, avoidance of grade
crossings, better system of signals,
and shorter stops. On the other
hand, "we cary our passengers, high
and low, far more cheaply than they
do in England. " The paper compares
the other points of the rival systems
closely and interestingly, and is rich
in illustrations by S. G. McCutcheon,
Alfred Parsons, c. S. Reinhart and
others.
