KEEP AT 1T.

Do not be discouraged, boys, if you
meet with difficulties in carrying out any
noble purpose. Samuel F. B. Morse re-
ceived his first idea for the telegraph
while a student in Yale college, in
a lesson upon electricity, recited to
Prof. Day. The boy was then nineteen
years old, but he had passed the age Of
fifty before he succeeded in getting an
appropriation from the United States
government for testing his invention.
What years of Encouragement, and what
trials in the way Of poverty and repeated
failures, interviewed! He asked for $780,
600 from Congress, and its members made
merry over the request, saying that if
this sum was given to magnetic tele.
graph, Millerism and mesmerism, and
any other ism, might have dive into
the national treasury. One of the Sena-
tors, Hon. Fernando Wood, advised him
to give up his project. Morse went to
his boarding place, paid what he owed,
leaving just thirty-seven cents in his
purse, then crept slowly up the long stairs
to his little room. There he knelt down
by the side of his bed and gave up his
hope of success, comforting himself with
the thought that he had done the best he
could. Such was the man who atterward
received $4,000 from the ten powers Of
Europe, which held special congress to
give expression to their gratitude.

A HARD LESSON.

Johnnie Waite-the boys called him
couldn't Waite" he used those words
30 often-went home from school one
night and gave his weekly report to his
father. The family were at supper. Mr..
Waite took the report after he had finish
ed his biscuit and looked at it. There
were five black marks on it. He turned
to Johnnie:
"What was this mark for Monday?"
IT ran by Phil Blake going out in the

Mr.. Waite ate a cookie, played few
minutes with the baby, and then went
down town.
Johnnie ate four cookies, and then
went into the parlor. Great-aunt Mary
Sherwin sat in the bay window knitting.
"Did you ever hear of your great great
uncle Titus Foss?" she asked, peering
through her glasses at Johnnie.
Johnnie said "No'm," and wondered
how old grest-great uncle could be.

MAKING A REPUTATION

The late Prof. Moses Stuart Phelps
used to tell this story with great glee. In
the days when he was graduate student
at New Haven, he took a walk one morn
ing with Prof. Newton, who lived in the
world of mathematics. Prof. Newton, as
is his habit, started off on the discussion
of an sbstruse problem. As the profess
or went deeper and deeper, Mr.. Phelps's
mind wandered farther and farther from
what was being said. At last, Mr..
Phelps's attention was called back to his
companion by the professors winding
up with. (Which, you see, gives us x :"
"Does itf" asked Mr.. Phelps, thinking
that in politeness he ought to reply some
thing. "Why, doesn't it9" excitedly ex-
claimed the professor, alarmed at the
possibility that flaw had been detected
in his calculations. Quickly his mind
ran back over his work. There had in
deed been q mistake. "You are right,
Mr.. Phelps, you are rightP' almost shout
ed the professor. sit doesn't give us K;
it gives us ~" And from that hour,
Prof. Newton looked upon Mr.. Phelps as
mathematical prodigy. He was the
first man who had ever caught the pro-
lessor tripping. "And So" Mr.. Phelps
used often to add, with his own peculiar
smile, in telling the story, 81 achieved a
reputation for knowing thing hate

Great-aunt Mary ratified her knitting
needles swiftly, and Johnnie, seeing that
the story was done, ran away to play.
When he came into the dining-room
the next morning he found breakfast
cleared away and mamma feeding the ca
naries. She said they thought they
couldn't wait for him, and Johnnie went
into the kitchen and begged some bread
and milk from Mary. He went back to
ask if his father left the quarter OF dol
lar he promised the day before, that
Johnnie might pay for share in the
new foot ball club some Of the boys in
his class were getting up, but Mrs. Waite
said, "Pspa went to the Office early, and
he told me to tell you he couldn't wait"
The boys thought they couldn't wait
for Johnnie to see his father, and as Lew
Dunton, boy whom Johnnie especially
disliked, had twenty-five cents ready,
they took him into the club and left
Johnnie out. He felt sure of sympathy
when he began to tell his father about
his trouble at noon, but, greatly to his
surprise, he was cut short by a curt,
"'That'll do, can't wait"
IT can't wait for you, john" said the
teacher, when he hesitsted for the right
word in his geography lesson that after
noon, and Johnnie was marked down
though he had studied hard and knew
his lesson.
He met Mary on his way home. She
told him the rest of the family had gone
to Uncle Byron's and he would find his
supper on the kitchen table, "for I'd not
be waitin' for one lone boy to ate," said
Mary, as she walked heavily away.
This was the greatest disappointment
of all. Johnnie had counted on the ride
to Uncle Byron's for weeks. He ate
little supper, and lay down on the sofa
in the parlor. The tears trickled down
his face in the dark. 81 guess I'm getting
that lesson papa meant" he said, with
little sob, and then he must have dropped
asleep, for when he opened his eyes the
lamp was lighted, and he looked up into
his mammals face. She sat down on the
edge of the sofa by him.
"Well, Johnnie, do you like couldn't
waltz"
"No, ma'am," said Johnnie, emphatic
ally, sitting up straight and punching
the sofa pillow with stout little fist. 81
think it's just mean when-when other
folks do itp'
Mrs. Waite laughed. "There are four
puppies out at Uncle Byron's, Johnnie"
she said, "and happen to know that if
you don't use those dreadful words, and
if you do wait for two weeks, papa means
to take you out to see them, and if you
break yourself entirely Of this bad habit
you are to have one of those puppies for
your own"
Johnnie put his arms round his moth
ers neck and kissed her. "I'll try just
as hard as can"
"And I'll help you all 1 CAM" said his
mother, kissing him back. John ran out
to the front gate, and meeting his father,
slipped his hand into the bigger one held
out to him and said, "That dogs mine,

"When you've gained the victory,

q fitting memory which the mind failed
to clearly grasp. The past grew an in
distinct vision, but the future grew in
clearness and beauty, till sometimes she
caught CLEANS of mountains clothed in
light, and city, whose gates we're of
pearl; and then she knew that this was
the heaven for which the human soul
forever longs.
Iretta saw much in human beings that
filed her with surprise, not unmingled
with grief. She saw that the immortal
soul, to possess which, che had been will
ing to suffer and die, after brief exis-
tence, was scarcely thought Of, by those
whose inheritance it was. 1t was bar
tered for what was worthless in the
eyes OF Iretta, gold of the mine and
gems of the oave-glory of earth and
splendor and power, which must all be
resigned at the touch of the dark
angel. None felt as did the ransomed
Fairy, that to follow il the footprints of
the divine One, to submit cheerfully to
the will OF him whose right it is to COM
mand, and try to add something to the
stock of human good, is the end and
should be the delight Of mortal beings.
At length Iretts beheld the face of the
dark angel, and she eagerly stretched
out her arms to embrace him, saying
softly, "Thou dost open the pearly gates
of the Eternal City"
Beneath snowy shroud lay fair
young child, bright beyond her years it
seemed, and sweeter than the rose and the
lily she so much loved. Many were the
tears shed upon the grave of the strange
ly beautiful child, whom friends mourned
as the beautiful Mary, who years before
crept over the door.sill and fell asleep
under the rose tree; but Gods dear mes.
sengers knew her for the thoughtful
Iretta, the fairy who longed for human

THE FUNERAL MONTH OF

An observant metropolitan barber says
that he can tell ones physical condition
by the state of the hair
The Bible tells us that with his hair
gone Sampson lost his strength. The
Romans considered badness serious af-
Fiction and Julius Caesar was never quite
satisfied with himself because his poll
was bare.
The face, however, is the open book
and one can readily trace in its various
expressions, lines, changee and complex
ion the state OF the system.
The eye that is unusually bright and
yet has pallid brightness, the face upon
whose cheeks nature paints rose of
singular beauty and flush, more mark
ed in contrast with the alabaster appear
ance of the forehead and nose and lower
part of the face. is one of those whom the
skilled physician will tell you will some
day dread the funereal month of March,
because it is then that consumption
reaps it's richest harvest. Consumption
they tell us is caused by this, that
and the other thing, by microbes in the
air, by heterogeneous in the blood, by
deficient nutrition, by thousand and
one things, but whatever the cause, de-
cay begins with cough and the remedy
that will effectually stop the cause of
that cough cures the disease of the
lungs.
That is all there is of it.
The cough is an evidence of wasting
To stop it effectually a remedy must
be used that will search out the cause,
remove that and then heal the lung and
do away with the cough. This is the
power, special to itself, possessed alone
by Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Con-
sumption remedy. This is no new fan
gled notion of narcotics and poisons, but
an old fashioned preparation of balsams,
roots and herbs, such as was used by
our ancestors many years ago, the form
ula Of which has been secured exclusive
ly by the present manufacturers at great
trouble and expense. It is not mere
cold dryer. 1t is a system searcher and
upbuilder and consumption expellant.
Where others fail it wins because it
gets at the constitutional cause and re-
moves it from the system.
j. W. Hensaw. of Greensboro, Pa, on
Jan. Is, reported that she had derived
more real benefit for the length of time
from Warmers Log Cabin Cough and
Consumption remedy than he had for
years from the best State physicians"
If you have cough, night sweats,
positive assurance in your own mind
that you, oh-you, have no consump-
tion,' and yet lose flesh, appetite, cour-
age as your lungs waste away, You may
know that soon the funereal month OF
March will claim you, unless promptly
and faithfully you use the article named.
IL other remedies have failed try this one
thoroughly. If others are offered insist
the more on trying this unequaled prep
aration.
Some persons are prone to consump-
ton and they should never allow the dis
ease to become seated.

B0iIs and CarbunCIes,

which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayers Sarsaparilla after comparative
ly brief trial.
Mr.. G. X. Murray, of Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was af-
flicted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, of which he had several
at one time. He then began the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the earbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years he has not had
even a pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofula, is
the fruitful cause of innumerable COM
plants, Consumption being only one of
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, capricious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations of a scrofulous faint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfgured by pimples, eruptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need of
Ayers Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsaparilla fair
trial, avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail to effect a cure, but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised to remedy.
