q 4 Story of President Jackson.

Never was any man more enterpris

son. An anecdote, telling about his
parting from his mother, illustrates
this, rs exhibited very carly in his life
while rs u boy i'm North Carolina he
was getting ready to go over into Ten'
nessee to give his youthful ambition a
chance.

this step for months, and had made
arrangements for my trip, and atlength
had obtained my mothers consent to
it. All my worldly goods were a few
dollars in my purse. and some clothes
in my saddle bags, and pretty good
horse, saddle and bride, The coun-
try to which 1 was going was compar-
atively wilderness, and the trip
long one, beset by many difficulties
especially dangerous because of the In,
dams. l felt, and so did my mother,
that we were parting forever. I knew
she would not recall her promise to let
me 60, though; there was too much
spunk in her for that, and this caused
me to linger day or two.
"But the time came for the dreadful
parting. My mother was little dunn

mother, I am ready to leave, and Il

and pressing it, said Farewell! ! and

Going Up Stairs.

Climbing stairs occupies great deal
of time in these days, and consumes 8
great deal of strength. There is
Fight way of going up stairs, way
that will make the climber stronger
rather than weaker. There is wrong
way of going up stairs that will inJure
even strong men, and that will IN time
ruin the health of women and girls
Awide observer in our city,, speaking
of this subject the other day, remark
ed that great many business men o.
his acquaintances were suffering
from improper stair-climbing.
The wrong way is to run up stairs
A man will rarely run in the street
though he may be in great hurry bu
when he comes to long flight O
stairs, he will put toe. on each stall
and project himself upward as nearly
as possible as though he were flying
Of course, this causes arrangement IL

The right way to climb stairs is tt
put the heel on the stair, then spring
over on the toe, bringing each limb il
attenuation perfectly tense and straigh
as stair after stair is gone over. In
short, walk up a gentle incline, put

much time in raising yourself by
stairs to height of thirty or forty feet
more or less, as you would take tt

Women who dress properly can
walk up stairs after the manner de

John Bright.

Another able advocate of the cause
of peace has gone to his rest. It has
only been short time since Henry
Richard, who was for many years the
honored and able secretary of the
London Peace Society, passed over to
the reward Of the peace-maker. On
the 9th of last month he was follow
ed by John Bright, of Rochdale, Eng
land, who came to his death In ripe
old age, being n years, 4 months and
II days old. John Bright was one of
the most popular orators in England,
and almost invariably lifted up his
powerful voice on the right side Of the
great questions of. the day. He was at
one time member of the British Cab
met, but resigned his position in 1882,
because he would not be a party to the
bombardment of Alexandria and the
Egyptian war. He has frequently
been on the unpopular side in English
politics, as most conscientious persons
are liable to be at times, but his aim
was to always be in the right whether
popular or otherwise. He was life
long member of the Society of Friends
and was laid to rest in their burying
ground at Rochdale. The world needs
more such men. We know not upon
whom his mantle may fall, but God
does, and we can safely and trustingly
leave the matter in His hands. A
mighty man has fallen, but the weap-
ons of his warfare have not perish

|. CUTTING THE HAR.lThere Is q
common but false notion, that frequent
cutting of the hair is favorable to Its
growth. Mothers thus often despoh
their infants of their first silken locks
with the idea that the second hair will
be much more rich and abundant.
This is an error. The most beautiful
and abounding heads of hair we ever
saw were those which the scissors had
never touched. Mothers, not satisfied
with trimming the hair Of their chill;
dren. often have it shaved or cut close
to the scalp when they find 1t Is losing
some of its brilliancy or falling out.
Except in rare cases of disease, the to-
tai sacrifice of the hair Is unnecessary,
and the second growth is never equal
to the first. Getting the hair trimmed
from time to time, may be allowed as
a matter of convenience, but 1t does
not produce the benefit generally at
tributed to it.-Sel. ~

Have You Saved the Man /?

A few years ago homeward bouno
vessel was wrecked on the coast o1
England. The life-boat was launched
and away the men went, and We're 8
long while at sea. Darkness set IN,
but the people Oh the coast lighted
great fires so that the ife-boat might
be guided on its return to shore. After
awhile they saw it returning, and a
great strong man, of the name OF john
Holden. who was on the coast, cried
aloud to the captain of the life-boat,
"Hi hi have you saved the men ?'
the captain answered, SAY, ay, 1 have
saved the men :" and all hearts were
filled with gladness. ..
But when they reached the coast it
was found that one man was left cling
ing to the mast. "Why did you not
save him ?" said Holden. Because
we were exhausted" said the captain,
"and we should all have perished if we
had remained another five minutes at
tempting to save one man." "But
you will 20 back to the rescue" They
said they had not the strength, the
storm was so fierce.
Holden threw himself OH the shin
gle, and lifted up prayer to God.
When he had ceased praying six men
volunteered to accompany him, and
John Holden, with six men, were
preparing to start, when the good old
mother of John Holden threw her
arms around his neck and said:
"John, you must not 60. What can
T do if you perish? You know your
father was drowned at sea, and it is
lust two years since your brother Will

of him since. No doubt he, too, has
perished. John, what shall L do if
' John said, "Mother, God has put it
into my heart to go, and if I perish
He will take care of YOU"
And away he went; and after awhile
the life-boat returned.
"Hi! hi ! John, have you saved the
man?n
John answered in a trumpet voice,
"Yes, we have saved the man tell my
mother it is my brother William we
have saved" There is man left un-
saved in this dark stormy world. Will
