BErRorHED To MARTHA GUSTS.

Washington's betrothal to the widow
Gusts was at this time well known. This
lady could hardly have relished this let
ter, but would no do doubt have visited it
on the merry wife at Belvoir, two years
older than Washington. However, Mrs.
Gusts had much good sense, and would
have known as well as the rest of us that
her herO's heart was not in a sad condition
when he could pun on Messrs. Martin and
Cooke, and especially when he could make
such an ingeniously bad pun as Fare"
Fairy Fa-fsct, the Latin ere" standing
for fact" fax. The Fairfax motto is
"Fare-fac."
But this little play of Juba and Marcia
soon ended In few months Washington
was welded to the lady who made him as
loyal and devoted wife as man ever had
The romantic days may have been over for
them both, but they grew together. She
was pretty, dressed in summer, as I was
told by one of her descendants, always in
spotless white muslin-and indeed must
have satisfied WashiDgton's fondness for
beautiful raiment if she wore Der splendid
brocades, fans, old lace, and ornaments

lington. "a most smiable woman" wrote
S. Johnson, 1890, to James Iredell;
"if live much longer 1 shall at last
he reconciled to the company of old women
for her sake" The Generals frank admi-
rations excited no jealousy IN his wife.
The Hon. Josper Yates writes to his wife
1797): "Mr. Washington once told me-
on charge which l once made against the
Precedent at his own table, that the ad-
mira,ion he warmly prOfessed for Mrs.
Hartley WAS a proof of his Homage to the
worthy part of the Sex, and highly re-
snectfnl 10 his wife" She had shrine
in every Young heart related to her, and
each must have her miniature, which ac-
counts for the multiplicity Of her portraits
But her true womanly portrait is IN every
sentence of the few letters Of hers which
remain. In one preserved in the Haly-
burton family che writes philadelphia,
November 2, IT'S TO her brother:

FORMING A CHARACTER.
True and False Methods of intellectual
and Moral Training,


and Moral Training,
The process of forming the statue
that shall waken the admiration of the
beholder ages after the hand of the
artist has moldered to dust. is slow.
Suppose the object be to reproduce in
marble the features of distinguished
statesman. A model in clay or gypsum
is first formed. Then, by a slow and
toilsome process. requiring the accu-
rate measurement of lines and angles,
the features of the model are trans
ferred to enduring marble. Such is
the course pursued by the true artist
A novice may pursue a different
course. He may commence at once on
the block of marble. By the direct
application of the chisel he may, in a
short time, fashion the rude outline
of features bearing some resemblance
to those designed to be comment
GRATED. But he can go but little
further. He can never reach the per-
lection which the artist attains by
obedience to the rules of his art.
Processes analogous to these may be
pursued in the cultivation OF the mind.
There is a process of patient culture,
a toilsome formation of habits which
do not admit of direct application to
practical life, which, though slow, are
necessary to the development of the
higher forms OF intellectual life and
of intellectual power.
There is a process which rejects a
large portion of this disciplinary toll,
and aims at immediate results. The
pupil at first seems to make rapid pro-
gress; but his progress is soon arrest
ed. 1t is snowy and limited. 1t can
never be carried far.
The educator should take as much
pains in forming a mind as the artist
takes in forming statue. If time and
toll are necessary to the perfection OF
a statue which is to endure for ages,
then time and toll may be necessary to
the perfection of the soul which is to
endure forever-N Y. LEDGER.

Sl,lllaber's Famous Character in Real Life

Mrs. Thrifty, an excellent and pros
porous widow woman, who Keeps a
store in famous and favorlte Ma>sa-
chusetts town, has genius IN Ian
guage which would set new Mrs:
Darlington up in business. She used
to come to Boston with great regular.

she said not long ago to city visitor,
there amt much need of my goln to
Boston with so many of these drum
mers comm around. And yet I'm
goin' there soon tc refurnish my stock
Of dittoes.
"Your stock of what, Mrs. ThriftyT
''Dittoes. All sorts of things, you
know"
"Oh, yes" as.
The visitor could imagine what dit

she had heard them called by that
name.
Yes" Mrs. Thrifty went on, 4
like to go to Boston first rate; When
| pit there the first thing | do is to
take one of them ere hoodlums and
then drive all round town.
The visitor was about to faint. Inc
spectacle Of the excellent Mrs. Thrifty
driving around Boston with hood
lum was too much for her composure.
And she looked so much at loss to
know what was meant that Mrs
Thrifty explained;
"Why, / mean one of those new

Useless to try to convince her; and
no doubt the next time she comes to
Boston to buy dittoes, she Will
stand in front Of the Old Colony sta
ton and call for a hoodlum.
When her conversation with Mrs.
Thrifty had reached this point the
city visitor thought best to change the
subject, and related her own expe-
rience during her last summers vaca-
ton, when she went up the Hudson
river and made a tour through the
Adirondacks.
"And did you climb the cascadesT
asked Mrs. Thrifty.
"I-I-oh, the cascades were very
beautiful, Mrs. Thrifty-very beauti-
full"
The city visitor felt that she had got
out of scrape with this evasive an
swer. But she doesn't know to this
day Just what the excellent woman
meant by climbing the cascades.

All Had the Same Dream.

1t is a most singular fact that under
certain combined conditions OF fatigue,
discomfort and malaria whole bodies
of men-such as companies of soldiers
have been seized by the same terrific
dream, and have been awakened stimuli
taneously shrieking with terror. Such
an instance is related by Laurent,
when, after a forced march, eight hun
bred French soldiers were packed in
ruined Calabrian monastery which
could i'll accommodate half that num-
Der. At midnight frightful cries issued
from every corner of the building as
frightened men rushed from it, each
declaring that it was the abode Of the
evil one-that they had seen him in
the form of big black dog, who
threw himself upon their breasts for an
instant and then disappeared. The
men were persuaded to return to the
same shelter on the next night, their
officers promising to keep watch be-
side them. Shortly after midnight the
same scene was re-enacted-the same
cries, the same flight. as the soldiers
rushed forth in a body to escape the
suffocating embrace of the black dog,
The wakeful officers had seen nothing.

Treacherons Memories.

When q man can say, II was there,
and | saw il" he ought to be believed,
one would think, provided he has
a reputation for speaking the truth.
What shall we be sure of, ii net OF the
things we have seen with our own

Yet experience proves that it is pos
sibIe to remember what never hap
pened, and remember it, too, with the
utmost distinctness and popularity.
This fact has been abundantly
brought out by the war "reminiscences
so numerously published during the
last ten years. As one writer remarks,
every book and magazine article is
followed by notes of correction, or by
extended article of refutation, so con
stantlv does one veterans recollection
of an event contradict another's, while
both of them, it is likely enough, are
proved to be wrong by the official rec
ords.
The late Col. Scott, who had charge
of the war records of the government,
relates that one day an officer came
into the room in a state Of great ex-
element.
'Have you said that l was not in
the second battle Of Bull Run" he de-
manded.
mo, not exactly that" said Scott.
"Wel, Bob Scott, was told you
said so, and I came in to put daylight
through you if you stuck to it. "
"Oh no." replied Scott, Il never
said you were not in the battle. What
said was that you yourself, in an
official report dated on the day OF the
battle, had said that you were in the
Cumberland valley, a hundred miles
from Bull RUM
Col. Scott called clerk, and order
ed the report brought. The officer
read it twice through in silence, put

All Anour ,-nehmonia.

Meter has written quite an exhaus-
tive article on the subject OF pneumo-
MIA, in which he reviews the epidem-
les of that disease which have been
recorded He draws the following
conclusions: Pneumonia is a conta-
gious disease, and the essential germs
can be communicated, not only direct
ly from an infected person to others
brought in contact with him, but they
can be transmitted through a third
person. They can, also, as in the case
of scarlet fever and measles, be con-
veyed in clothing and in many other
articles such as are found in the sick
room. They are diffusible in the air
but one must come within ten feet of
a patient in order to be within range
of infection.
The pneumonia germs are quite long
lived. How they remain capable of
doing their work has never been de-
termined, but three years is set as the
extreme limit. Pneumonia is catch
ing" at any time during its entire
course, and even after recovery
Where a person is exposed to the dis
ease and becomes infected by the
germs OF il, the first symptoms, as
rule, appear between the fifth and
seventh day; but exceptional cases are
many, and an infected person may be
taken down with the disease the sec
ond or third day after exposure, or he
may carry ii about with him for near
ly three weeks before it breaks out
A person who has once had the dis
ease retains for years liability to have
other attacks, for the germs of it re-
main with him and may be found in
his saliva. Hence, such a person is
not only dangerous to himself, but to
others with whom he is brought in
immediate contact. 1t is held that this
in part explains recurring epidemics
in certain families, and, also, while
the same person frequently suffers
from severe attacks during his life
time, Considering the fact, now
clearly evident, that pneumonia is a
contagious disease, the proper precau
tons against infection, should OF
course, be taken,
1t is true that this disease is moi
nearl y so contagious as the most OF tho
other diseases of the same character,
but it is enough so to warrant a GER
tain amount of care. A patient i'll
with pneumonia need not be held SO
dangerous that a rigid quarantine
must needs be established, but those
who are brought in contact with him
should use reasonable amount N
caution-not take his breath" etc.
Perfect ventilation is alike important
to them and to the patient. Handker
chiefs and the like should be thorough
ly disinfected, and if spit cup" is
used, it should always contain some
disinfectant to destroy the germs III
