TWO FAMOUS PAINTERS.
The Early Struggles of Sir David Wllkie
and David Roberts.


and David Roberts.
1t is expedient to humor "the twig'
that has an inclination-the tree will
be all the better for it. Pope ex-
presses but half-truth in his lines:
.Tis education forms the common mind:
Just as the twig is bent, the trees inclined.
for many tree has been distorted by
inclining the twig against its bent
Rev. David Wilkic was much troub-
led by the fact that David, his son,
had tried three schools, and in each of
them had shown himself Indifferent to
classical knowledge The good father
was also annoyed at the lads propen-
sity to cover the walls, the kitchen
pavement and the uncarpeted floors of
tho manse with figures of men and
beasts drawn in various attitudes.
Even in church, when he should have
listened TO his fathers sermons, the
rogue, ignoring the sacredness OF the
kirk, would draw on the blank leaves
Of his Psalm-book and Bible, portraits
of the remarkabl faces in the congre-
CATION.
Sorrowfully convinced that though
The boy would not make a scholar,
much less minister, he might make q
painter, Mr.. Wilkie made application
for his admission as a pupil of the
Edinburgh Academy of Fine Art. The
secretary looked at the lads drawings,
pronounced them worthless, and re-
jocted the application. Private inhu-
ence reversed the secretary's decision;
young Wilkie became pupil, gained
a prize, wen to London, where he be-
came "ihe Raphael of domestic art "
and as Sir David Wilkie made a name
which was honored at home and
abroad.
One day q gentleman of culture and
taste, while walking in the suburb Of
L Elinburgh, stopped into shoemakcr's
cottage. He was surprised to see on
the whitewashcd wall several admira-
bic representations of animals drawn
with red chalk and charcoal. On cont
mending them to the shoemaker's wife,
she answered:
''Hoot! these are bits O. drawings
o oor d ,vie;' he was seein' some wild
beasts at show, and he's caulked
them there to let me see them"
Indeed" said the gentleman, "and
what doyo intend to make of that
boy?'
Deed he'll jist need to sit doom on
the stool asi de his father, and learn tc
max and mend shoon shoes E"
The gentleman, thinking that cob
bling was not exactly the employment
for boy who could execute such
drawings, persuaded n house-painter
10 take Davie as an apprentice. H.
dustry and genius made the youth a
painter of dramatic scenery; then he
painted the Gothic ruins of Scotland.
BY these pictures he obtained the
means of making tours in Normandy
and Spain, from which countries he
returned with pictures that brought
money and reputation. The shoe
makers son was David Roberts, one of
the most gifted of British artists, -

Local Papers.

The late Judge David Davis, of Illi-
nois, whose judgment in important
problems was usually sustained, ex-
pressed his views as follows regarding
the value Of local newspapers:
each and every local paper gives
from 500 to $1,000 in free times for
the benefit of the community in which
1t is located. No other agency can or
will do this. The local editor, in pro-
proportion to means, does more for the
town than any other ten men, and in
all fairness man to man, he ought to
be supported not because You like him
or admire his writings, but because
the paper is the best investment a
communitycan make. 1t maynot be bril-
liant or crowded with great thoughts,
but financially it is more of a benefit to
a community than ii teacher or a
preacher. Understand us, ROW. we do
not mean morally or intellectually.
but financially. And yet Oh the mo-
raj question you will find the majority
OF the local papers on the RICH. side
OF the question. To-day the editors
OF the local papers do the most work
Tor the least money OF any men on
earth. Subscribe for your local news
papers, not as a charity, Tut as an in
vestment."

Proud Of His Sister.

Tie Chicago Tribune relates the case
OF a young ma who was regarded as IL
phenomenon because he took his sister
to all the best entertainments and az
tually devotes himself to er for the
lecture aud concert season. Being
praised for his unusual attention to ms
sister. the young man promptly and
proudly said
"No, there is nothing wonderful or
extraordinary about it. She is the on
ly girl know in whom I have the most
thorough confidence. She is always
the same, always pleasant and aftt.c-
Tomato, and to tell yon the truth. I'm
afraid she'll go and niarrv one OF the

happy all of her life. She has nohody
else to look to and ri take care she
does not have to look to anybody else.
| suppose some day Il genuine nan will
object. Unless he does coslr sac i

Such an example is most commenda-
bic. A young man would do well 10
seek his sisters society, until he liHd.;
another lady as good as his si>te..

81 Say What 1 Think"

Determined to act on a selfish plan.

chance
This impulse of his obeying,
IT'S plain to he seen at a single glance
He doesn't think what he's saying.
Oh, man an arrow will reach the heart
For which it was never intended,
IF a careless marksman wingsthe dart,
And the hurt a V be mended +;
And many a friendship may be lost,
And many a lOve-link broken,
Because of neglect to count the cost
OF words that are lightly spoken.
81 say what l think" All! the truly
great
Who gave their wisdom expression
In chosen phrases. would hesitate
To make such ii rash confession.
For think what Injuries might be
wrought,
What evils we could not smother.
If everybody said what they thought
With regard to each other!
To say what you think is a noble thing
When Your voice for the right is
needed,
To speak out your mind with a loyal
ring
When ord.r and law are impeded;
But the evil thoughts that flow through
the brain
And the heart should be retarded.
For we lessen the tide OF grief and
pain
When II speech is carefully guarded
You may think what you choose. nor
give ~ofiense,
Be a traitor and not display it;
And if you're deficient in common
sense,
By silence you'll not betray it.
And let it be written in blacklist ink.
For the good Of each son and daugh-
ter,
That those who always say what they
think
Are most of the time in hot water.

in upon u unawareA The pa
tents have pains about the
chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull
and sleepy; the mouth has a
bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort of sticky slime
collects about the teeth. The
appetite is poor. There is =
feeling like a heavyload on the
stomach; sometimes a faint, all
gone sensation at the pit of the
stomach which food does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken,
the hands and feet become cold
and clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it is attend
ed with = greenish-colored ex-
pectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, and sleep
does not seem to afford any
rest. After a time he becomes
nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There
is a giddine,s, . sort of whirl-
ing sensation in the head when
rising up suddenly. The bow
els become costive; the skin is
dry and hot at times the blood
becomes thick and stagnant;
the whites of the eyes become
tinged with yellow; the urine
is scanty and high colored, de-
posting a sediment after stand
ing. There is frequently a
splitting up of the food, some
times with a sour. taste and
sometimes with a sweetish
taste; this is frequently at
tended with palpitation Of the
heart; the vision becomes i'm
paired, with spots before the
eyes; there is a feeling of great
p.ostration and weakness. All
OF these symptoms are in turn
present. It is thought that
nearly one-third of our popu-
lation has this disease in some
of its varied forms.
It has been found that ply
>scians have mistaken the cause
this disease. Some have
treated it for a liver complaint,
others for kidney disease, ETC., /

treatment have been attended
