"WATCH AND WATT"
Every Great Achievement Is the Record
of Corresponding Patience.

EVory Great ACniOV0ment rs the RECORD
of Corresponding Patience.
patient waiting no loss," has been made
the subject of an instructive volume; and
''let patience have her perfect work." was
one of the many admirable suggestions of
ancient wisdom, says the New York Ledger.
The history of every great achievement,
and the realization of every grand idea, Is
the record of corresponding patience on
the part of the hero and the thinker. But
for the large possession Of this sublime
quality, humanity must have succumbed to
a thousand obstacles which have been glo-
r1ously overcome, and man, instead of dem
onstrating Progress to be the providential
law of his being, would have sunk in the
embrace Of fatalism, more helpless and
wretched than the beasts Of the field. The
discoverer, the reformer-the benefactor of
whatever class-has each in turn, since the
world began, learned through his own ex-
perlence the truth Of the poets line:
"They nobly win who watch and watt"
and the story of any one Of them is mainly
the story of all.

and discerning for the first time clearly the

A MERelFuL JUDGE.

How = Good Little Widow Defended the
Man Who Had Abused Her.
There was once a little woman, says the
Boston Courier, who, as other little women
had had before her, was so unfortunate as to
have husband who drank like fish, and
the more he drank the more heartily he
beat and abused her. She endured it like
an angel, and indeed it Is to be feared that
part of the sin of his misdomg was to be
laid upon her head, 80 temptfngiy patient
was she, and so far was she from treating
him as he deserved to be treated.
But in course of time kind fate inter-
fered to save the little woman from the fur
tner abusIngs of the brute He took one
drink too many, and broke his neck in an
ill-iudged attempt to carry himself and too
many potions of brandy on horseback at the
same time,
And when the man was dead the little
wife remembered no more his brutality,
nor the size of the stick with which he had
been wont to beat her, gr1eyous to be borne
although it had been. She mourned and
: ,-~.st and lamented and told her friends
what paragon he had been, until one "a
them could bear it no longer, but famed out
with cruel kindness, and denounced the dead
man as the drunken brute ne had really
been.
The widow looked up through her tears
with a world Of reproach in her eyes.
HE was good man and good hus-
band, !" she said, Indignantly. Then her ma
tive instinct for truth asserted itself. She
dropped her voice and lowered her head.

was altogether adapted to liquor. ~

good little widow was ever heard TO say

THE CHRONIC BORROWER.

A Woman Who IL . Nuisance to Her
Friends and tho Community.
A woman who is always "just out" of the
small wares of the kitchen is q nuisance to
the community, says the Yankee Blade.
She will run in on you at any and all hours,
and want to borrow just little sugar, or
spice, till she can send to the grocer's. She
really did not know she was anywhere near
out until she went about her cooking, and
I then she found she hadn't dust of sugar
in the house, and not q soul around any.
where that she could send out after any.
And she win tell you that she does so hate
10 trouble you; for if there is any thing on
earth she dislikes to do 1t is to borrow-and
she never does 1t when she can help 1t; but
now her pie-crusts are all on the plates, and
she was Obliged to, because she could not
spare time to run to the grocer's. And she
will sit down in your kitchen half an hour,
and ask about everybody in town; and,
meanwhile, she will take an account of
every thing her eyes fall on, and collect
capital for endless gossip as to your habits
aud methods.
When the borrower returns what she
borrows it is always in a little smaller
measure, il, indeed, she returns it at all.
And you may congratulate yourself if you
get half what belongs to you. A regular
borrower will borrow every thing, from q
piece of salt fish for breakfast down to your
boy, if you have one.
The book borrower is even greater
nuisance than the woman who borrows
household supplies. She never hesitates to
ask for the choicest or costIiest books in
your house. And she seems to think that
she confers a favor on you by so asking
And If you are foolish enough to lend, the
possibility is that you will have to go after
the books in question, and you will find or
doing so that she has lent them to some
friend of hers, who wanted TO read them
and she will tell you that she knew you
would be willing-for you are so good
patnred, Never have a borrower for Z

A MODEST DRUMMER.
The Annoying Predicament In Which He
Was Placed by q Sneak-ThfeE


Was Placed by Sneak-ThieL
Win Hansard, travelling salesman Of
Louisville, was once upon time pursuing
his calling in Bell and Harlan counties,
KY. These two counties are the most
mountainous and thinly Inhabited in the
State. just before starting back to Louis
vile he passed the night at farmhouse in
Harlan. When he went to bed he hung his
trousers on a chair near the window. Next
morning the trousers were gone and no one
knew where. Some one passing In the
night had reached IN at the window and
taken them, for his host was above sus-
pIcion.
Mr.. Hansard called loudly for the farmer,
expecting to borrow pair Of trousers from
him. His wife came to the door and said
that her husband had gone hunting an hour
before, and, as he had only one pair of
trousers, he had very naturally worn them.
Here was dilemma, but his hostess, who
was woman Of expedients, solved IL. She
came to the door with one Of her Mother
Hubbards and suggested that the drummer
put 1t on he consented. She tossed the
garment 70 him and closed the door. He
got into the Mother Hubbard, went out to
the stable, hitehed up his team, and climbed
into his buggy. Here he took the garment
on and handed it back to the lady, who was
full Of sympathy for him. The buggy con-
cealed his lower extremitieG, and he
wrapped his linen duster around them to
keep them warm.
Mr. Hansard drove quickly to the near
est store, about four miles away, expecting
TO buy pair of trousers there, for ali the
country stores ke pt ready-made clothing.
When he got there he found numerous
ladies who had congregated g see the
opening or some now goods. He could not
leaYe Tie buggy, but he yelled for the
proprietor to come out, and to him he made
known his predicament. The merchant
brought to him five or six pairs Of trousers.
He drove down into . neighboring hollow,
tired them on, found pair to fit him, and
thus his tribulations were ended,

A HAWKS REASONING.
How He Carried His Prey Against the
Wind with Comparative Ease.

How He Carried His Prey Against the
Wind with Comparative Ease.
Birds of prey generally possess instinct
enough for all ordinary emergencies. There
are, however, special occasions on which a
call is made for unusual sagacity, aid 1t is
then that we see how near these creatures
come to reasoning in the same way as our
selves. The author of "'Twixt Ben Nevis
and Glencoe" gives, bearing upoh this
point, story which he had from the keeper
on an estate in that neighborhood
One day in July the keeper in question,
happening to be out after vermin with his
gun, saw coming in his direction a bird
which he knew to be some kind of hawk,
but whose manner of flight puzzled him ex-
tremely. It was beating up the wind to-
ward him as II with . sorely wounded wing,
manifestly impeded In some way that
caused it to zigzag and struggle strangely
In its f1iQht.
Seeing that If 1t kept its course it was
likely to pass within easy shot, the keeper
quietly retired into a clump of ferns on one
knee, with his gun ready for action. He
had, however, to wait longer than he had
expected, for the hawk meanwhile alighted
on the top of large gray bowlder hum
dred yards away, and seemed very busy
about something, though what it was the
keeper at that distance could not make out.
In about Eve minutes, however, the hawk
took wing again, this time with a much
more steady and even fight. He was soon
overhead, and near enough to drop to the
keepers gun. On going up to his prize the
keeper found that it was indeed hawk,
and beside it was lying plump partridge,
well grown, but to the keepers surprise al
most altogether stripped of its feathers.
On going to the bowlder on which the
kestrel had rested for awhile, all the miss
ing feathers of the partridge were found
scattered about, and the keeper instantly
| took in the state of matters from first to
last and explained it thus:
The kestrel, having struck down the
| partridge, was carrying the dainty morsel
| to his greedy hedglings in their nest. The
wind, however, was strong and gusty and ad-
verse to the kestrePs line of flight; and of the
wind, the wings and tail, limp and pendant.
of the partridge caught so much that it was
only with great difficulty the plucky little
! captor could make any satisfactory head.
way.
Getting tired of the struggle at last he
must have reasoned with himself some
what after this fashion,:
"My partridge burden is more difficult to
get along with than 1t really need be- am
heartily ashamed of myself, acting thus like
BOBBY. will take rest on yonder bowl
der and pluck away all the wing and tai
feathers of my dainty bit of game, an opera
tion which, while it leaves my partridge
quite as big and good to eat as before, will
enable me to bear 1t up and carry it against
the wind with comparative ease"

sANGUINARY CONFLICT.
A Bitter Fight Betwecn English Spsrrows
and "A Rat.

Bitter Fight Betwecn English Spsrrows
and Rat.
A novel battle was fought yesterday in a
corner OF the Brooklyn navy-yard, says the
New York Star. The combatants were a
number of sparrows and large dock rat.
The rat was quietly feeding on a piece Of
bread, which had been washed ashore by
the tide, when an inquisitive sparrow dis
covered him. The sparrow did not dare at
tack the rat alone. but perched on pole
directly above the rodent and set up loud
enatterlng, which was Immediately an
swered by another sparrow, that was quick-i
ly followed by more, until the writer counted
twenty-five of the birds.
Having gathered their forces the little
army began systematic attack upon the
enemy. All this time the rat had paid little
or no attention to the birds, being busily en-
gagged in eating. At first the little robbers
formed circle around the rat At that
moment the rat stopped eating, and looking
up discovered that he was surrounded by
the enemy. But, being confident Of his
strength and ability TO rout the birds at any
moment, he returned to his feast One Of
the sparrows few around the rat several
times, and making dash pecked him upon
the back. The rodent turned quickly, leav-
Ing for moment the bread unprotected,

emily they flew at the rat from all sides,
until he was finally compelled to seek shell

victors
The rat was 10th to yield to the birds so
easily, and as one Of them came near his
hiding place he rushed out and killed it.
The onslaught was so sudden that tba
birds were taken by surprise, and on seeing
the body OF their dead companion they made
rush at the rat regardless of danger.
The battle ragged fercely, at first largely

A somewhat remarkable case recently
came before the Post-Ofice Department re-
lating to matters in a Waldo County (Me.)
post-ofice. The postmaster had a best
girl, and the latter transferred her affec-
tions to another party. The girl sent her
new lover papers through the office. The
seller Of stamps thought all was not right,
and upon investigation discovered that
within the paper was letter written to his
fortunate rival. The postmaster reported
the case and the girl was fined ten dollars.
The fine was subsequently remitted.
