WHAT PLUCK MEANS.
u You Have II Not, Cultivate II wAthout
Days Delay,

webster tells us that .'pluck" is
the ''inelegant'' for courage; but it is
derived from word in the terse and
vigorous old Saxon tongue, signifying
energetic effort, and is curt and ex.
pressive. if not euphonious. However.
opinions may differ as TO its admIs.
5ibility within the pale of polite
phraseology, we will have an admira-
ton for what it means. Like the word
backbone" now so frequently used
as q substitute for .indomitability," il
fits the connections in which it is used,
both in its prosody and its sense, bet.
ter than any other phrase to be found
in the dictionary.
As the pithy antithesis of faint.
heartedness and its lackadaisical syn.
onym, we recommend this bluff ex-
preston as the fitting shibboleth of all
who have tough work of any kind be-
fore them. In contests of all kinds
intellectual, moral, political, polemic-
al and physical-pluck generally car
sizes the day, 1t is essential alike 10
the controversialist and the warrior,
the moral reformer and the pugilist,
the statesman and the discoverer.
With some people "pluck' is q con.
stitutional quality. Children some.
times display it in their cradlehood.
For the consolation of those who have
it not by nature. let US say that it may
be acquired, Or, to speak more cor.
rectly, that the policy natural pluck
would suggest may be pursued as the
result of sound reasoning. One of
the greatest of English surgeons, ac-
cording to the testimony of his init
mate friends. was actually timid and
| diffident man. He confessed, indeed.
that his bold and brusque style OF
treating his patients was adopted from
a conviction that, in the medical pro-
fession. bashfulness and hesitancy
would not do. 1t must be admitted
that he sometimes went into the other
extreme; but even that was better than
faltering.
Pugilistic encounters are brutal af-
/ fairs; but in the moral and intellectual
prize fights which we sometimes have
with Fortune, it would be well it every
man could take her hard butfets as the
prize Fighter receives the blows.
Depend upon it, there is nothing
worth doing in this world that does
not need 'pluck.' If asked to de efine
the expression. we should say that no
other word in the English language is,
strictly speaking convertible with it.
1t is not courage pure and simple, but
courage and backbone-energetic,
progressive, undoubting, 'nevor-sa say
die" courage. There can be no mental
supereminence without the manifesto
ton OF this quality, or, at any rate.
without such course of action rs
native pluck would prompt We say,
therefore, to the naturally timid and
vacillating. cultivate the virtue if you
have it not, for it is species Of capital
absolutely necessary to success. m

Some Fine Points Explained by an Old

My Virginia triend-l was going to

South. He ru's,d his hat. and. with

his fore head just at the roots of his

"That.' said he. 'was received in q
duel. The duel is going out of fashion
IN Virginia.. but there are still some
hot-headed men who think that their
wounded honor can only be satisfied
with blood. "
Said l: How did you get that
scar?'
Said he: l'll tell you. | vas maxi

In the crowd was u man who was a

He had interrupted me several times
and l passed it off good-naturedly,

laugh on the fellow, and knew | was

Then my Southern friend explained
to me that a short armed man fired
quicker than long-armed man be-
cause the distance from the brain to
the finger tip was less; and he also
said that the better class of people in

A DECLINING SPECIES.

Something About the characteristics OF
the Old-Fashioned Tramp Printer.
No mere machine would ever fill the
place of the old-fashioned printer, COM
monty known as a tramp. He belongs
TO a separate species OF the human race.
He has no hesitation in correcting the
editors manuscript, and making him
say things he would not say. 1t is idle
for the editor to say he is right The
old-fashioned printer has Travelled more
and knows better. If the editor, by
pertinacity, does finally succeed in get
ting a passage corrected the way he
wants it, it is disagreeable to see the
old-fashioned printer slam his rule
down on the case and start of with the
galley toward the imposing stone with
the remark that there are number OF
chumps in the West who imagine, be-
cause they are able to write a few lines,
that they know more than the universe
He doesn't say so, but we instinctively
feel that he means us, and necessarily
he must be the universe. Whatever
may be the politics of the paper on
which the old-fashioned printer works,
his are invariably the opposite. This is
to show that he is not to be coerced.
He will borrow a dollar from the pro-
prietor, and then go off and vote against
the proprietor's interests, just to show
his independence. He can umpire
baseball game, conduct a class
meeting or give temperance
lecture while he is full up
to the neck. He is consistent in one
thing. He opposes Chinese labor, and
never patronizes Chinese laundry. It
is true that he rarely patronizes any
other laundry, but that does not de-
teriorate from his consistency. He will
borrow a quarter from the editor, and
then denounce the editors greenness
for lending it to him. He would rather
steal a ride on freight train than to
travel on a pass in a palace car. He
has a profound hatred for boarding
house keepers, and with not a cent in
his pocket does not hesitate to criticise
the bill of fare in the most severe terms.
Give him a quarter to buy drinks, and
he may spend part of it for something
to eat; give him quarter to buy victuals
and the money is sure to go for whisky.
And yet, with all these contrarities, we
should hate to see the old-fashioned
| printer supplanted by machine.
1 When almost starving himself he will
divide his last penny with brother
/ printer. Memories of a mother and
sister cause him to respect womanhood.
/ And when he lies down to die, it may
! be in the bottom of a freight car, or in
the corner of fence, with nothing to
wrap his shivering form but his dilapi-
/ dated clothing, a generous heart often
ceases to beat with his last breath. Who
shall say that in the hereafter there 10
not better future for the old-fashioned
