General Lee and Stimulants.

From an anecdotal and personal
article on General Lee After the
War" by Mrs. Margaret j. Preston
in the June Century we quote the
following: "He had the gentlest way
possible of giving counsel and rebuke.
l remember hearing him say, in a
presence where such testimony was
worth more than a dozen temperance
lectures Men need no stimulant; it
is something, l am persuaded, that
they can do without. When / went
into the field, at the beginning of the
war, a good lady friend of mine gave
me two sealed bottles of superb
French brandy. / carried them with
me through the entire campaign; and
when met my friend again, after all
was over, gave her back her both
bottles of brandy, with the seals I'M
broken. 1t may have been some
comfort to me to know that / had
them in case of sudden emergency
but the moment never came when ]
needed to use them."

How to Get Ahead.

New York Ledger.
There are people who do not exert
the powers they suppose they pos
sess, because they do not occupy a
position adapted to call forth those
powers. They stand idle, because,
they say, no man has hired them.
When asked if there is nothing for
them to do, they reply, in effect,
nothing worthy of their powers.
Those who thus wait for stations
worthy of their supposed powers
spend a life in idleness.
The true man does vigorously
whatsoever his hand tindeth to do.
He is never out of employment, be-
cause he is ever ready to accept any
work which he can obtain.
A merchant of this city had made
what was then regarded as a hand
some fortune. In consequence of
losses occasioned by the late war
he failed. He surrendered all his
property to his creditors. He was
not out of employment week. He
took the first thing that offered.
Though he had been the head of a
large jobbing establishment, he took
a clerkship in a comparatively small
one. He attended to the duties OF
his clerkship as carefully as he had
attended to the duties of the firm
of which he was the leading partner.
OF course it was not many years be-
fore he was among the merchant
princes of the city.
Let no young man wait in idleness
for situation worthy of his powers.
Let him do with his might whatso-
ever his hand findeth to do. The
way to get better place is to perform
in first rate manner the duties OF
your present one. The way to pre-.
pare for greater usefulness is to make
yourself as useful as possible in your
present calling.

Sewing on Buttons.

"When get bright idea, / al
ways want to pass it along," said
lady az she sat watching a young
girl sewing. "Do your buttons ever
come off, Lena?"
"Ever? They're always doing it.
They are ironed off washed off and
pulled off, until despair. / seem to
shed buttons at every step"
"Make use of these two hints when
you are sewing them on, then, and
see if they make any difference.
When you begin, before you lay the
button on the cloth, put the thread
through SO that the knot will be on
the right side. That leaves it under
the button, and prevents it from be-
ing worn or iron Ell away and thus
beginning the loosening process.
"Then, before you begin sewing,
lay a large pin across the button, so
that all your threads will go over the
pin. After you have finished filling
the holes with thread draw out the
pin and wind your thread round and
round beneath the button. That
makes a compact stem to sustain the
possible pulling and wear of the but
tonhole."
ut is no eXaggeration to say that
my buttons never come of, and Pm
sure yours won't if you use my
method Ofsewing.'

Contagious Blood Poison

is the constitutional blood disease
which has for several centuries past
been infesting mankind with its
annoying features and destructive re-
suits, and is now the great bane of
the human race. This is the worst
of all blood contagion, as the horrible
poison is transmitted from one
generation to the next, and even the
third and fourth. We do not honest
ly believe that the terrible scourage
has ever been cured and thoroughly
eradicted from the human body by
any other remedy than Swift's
Specific, and we further say that
Swift's Specific has never been
known to fail to make a permanent
cure in any case when it has been
taken before any of the vital organs
had become so impaired as to render
cure impossible.

The Path of Fame.

Perhaps we may safely say that the
mind of every great man is Swallowed
by melancholy. Greatness is not an
easy triumph; toll, suffering and fear
darken the path which leads to fame;
the final victory scarcs compensates for
that which was endured in achieving it;
the recollection of early trial saddens
and softens later success; often the most
ardent spirit would hesitate and turn
back were it not for the consuming de-
sire to excel which impels the toiler on
ward and never permits his weary brain
to more than briefly flag in its task.
Melancholy is not pessimism. The pessi-
mists are those who have never striven
and succeeded. A touch of sadness
tinges the minds of the greatest, the
wisest and the best. Truly great men
are rare.
Extraordinary combinations Of cir
cumstances alone produce them; there
must be a meeting of the man and the
event; both the mind and the occasion
must be ready, and when the time comes
the great soul, taught patience, courage
and sagacity, leaps to its opportunity
and the food of enthusiasm and ardor
overwhelms all obstacles; without the
severe discipline of waiting it could not
have succeeded, but in the hour of tri-
umph the melancholy of past failure
cannot wholly disappear. Perhaps it is
best that great men should be subject to
melancholy. The recollection of their
own disappointments gives them more
sympathy for human suffering. and they
can judge, with tenderness, our follies
and our frailties. A few lofty and far
seeing intellects lead, though their infu-
ence may for the time be unfelt, and
when they teach wisdom and mercy the
lesson will not be lost.-Louisville Cou-
, rier-Journal
