What Wins.
rhe world has Am MANY a nero

The world has full many hero
Go read what those heroes have done,
And you'll find that though oft they were battle
They kept up their courage, and won.
They never lost courage in failure,
Giving up, as the weak hearted will,
But said, 1--WE will try and keep trying,
And conquer all obstacles still"
And this they have done, the world over.
Their tasks were accomplished at last
By often-repeated endeaVor.
The young oak may bend to the blast.
But it springs to its place when it passes,
And grows to new strength every day,
And in time it stands firm in the tempest
Whose wrath whirls the tall pine away.
Defeat makes man more persistent
If the right kind of courage is his
He determines to conquer and does it,
And this is what heroism is
Strive on with patient endeavOr
The steadfast of purpose will win.
Defeat comes to-day, but tomorrow
May usher the grand triumph in.

being Secretary for the Provisional
Government by which the restoration
of Louis XVIII was decreed. The re-
turn of Napoleon and the upturnings
of the Hundred Days, however, sent
him to Havre, and thence he sailed
again for America. In August, 1917,
as he was returning across the Brandy
wine in boat from a visit to his son
Victor, he accidentally fell into the
stream, and the wetting caused a fatal
aggravation of his gout. Born at Paris
in 1879, he had reached ripe old age,
and looked back upon a remarkable
career. The year before his death he
had been honored by visit from Pres
ident Madison, who rode from Wash
ington hither to pay his respects to the
genial old gentleman.
In the same ground with those of
Pierre Samuel repose the remains of
his grandson Admiral Samuel Francis
Dupont. The second son of Victor, he
was born during the residence of the
latter at Bergen Point, in September
1903, and lived to see the close of the
great war, in which he had rendered
heroic service for the Union. Ad-
miral Dupont died at Philadelphia on
the 23d of June, 1865. He had suffered
for several years from a disease con-
tracted in his East India service from
1857 to 1859, and died somewhat sud-
denly at the La Pierre House, on
Broad street, making the circumstance
the more remarkable because his father
had also died very suddenly of apo
plexy during visit to Philadelphia,
and his uncle, E. I. du Pont, the head
of the powder firm, had,also died there
of cholera.
Lafayette came here to visit, of
course, when he made his memorable
tour through the country in 1925. It
was in the frigate BrandylOjne, indeed
that he went home, that vessel having
been placed at his disposal by Congress
From the Messrs. DupOnt's, where he
remained for some days, he drove up
on the 25th of July, to go over the
battle-ground, and point out to the
crowds of people who had gathered
there, the spot where he received the
English bullet. One of those in the
carriage with him on ihat drive wa.

The extensive sale of sensational
novels, such as THE Quick or the
Dead" Robert Elsmere," and "Mr.
Barnes of New York." has frightened
some good people into the idea that
from bad, people of the world are be-
coming very bad, and the minds of
some of these would lead to the infer
ence that there was no longer any sale
for good books. But for the comfort
ing of these anxious ones, the Bible
Society of New York gives the infor.
nation that in the last year it has sent
out no less than l, ,326,672 copies of the
Bible, and that within the seventy-two
years of its existence that Society has
issued 49,829, ,563 copies. Their presses
now print four thousand copies a day
No other book has any such sale. The
