Origin Of Uncle, Sam"

Speculation has recently arisen regarding
the origin OF the term. "Uncle Sam" as ap-
piled to the United States government.
In the war of 1912, between this country
and Great Britain, Ebert Anderson, OF
New York, purchased in. Troy, N. Y,
large amount of pork for the American
army.
1t was inspected by Samuel. Wilson, who
was popularity known as ''Uncle Sam" The
barrels Of pork were marked "E. A., U.
s." the lettering being done by a facetious
employee of Mr.. Wilson.
When asked by fellowworkmenth the mean.

United States, were then, almost entirely
new to them, said "he idnot know, unless
it meant Ebert Anderson and Uncle SAM"
.liuding to Uncle Sam Wilson,.
The joke took among the ,worsmen, and
passed currently, and "Uncle Sam !" him
self being present, was. occasionally rallied
OH the increasing extent of his possessions.
Soon the incident appeared in print, and the
joke gained favor rapidly, till it penetrated
and was recognized in every part of the
country, and, says John Frost, the Boston
historian, will no doubt continue so while the
United States remains nation
1t is now firmly imbedded in the Mosaic

phrases, which refer to important events in
the history of the Republic. Both "Tippe-

A Much NIisused yvord-Striving to- Excel
In Ones Occupation.
''My son Peter is very ambitious"
remarked Mr.. Sanders, in the village
grocery store.
Els he, indeed?" said Mr.. Coldcheese,
the grocer. "Tm glad to hear it.
Wants to be a lawyer or doctor, sup
pose?"
mot at ALL"
"You don't mean to. say he wants to
be professor ~
NO" replied Mr. Sanders, quietly
''his ambition is to be- the best carpen-
ter in the county"
Thereupon the grocer, and all the
store loungers burst into merriment.
Ambition to be good carpenter. Els!
ha!
Yet Mr.. Sanders, and his son Peter
were right and the laughers wese
wrong.
Ambition is much misused word.
When a boy aspires to achieve wealth
and fame in what are known as, the
higher walks of life-such as the law,
luCulSlAC VI Vic llilC tbL I'D
said to be ambitious, and his parents
are congratulated Perhaps he does not
succeed, as, in fact, only a small per-
centage do succeed. and then he is
commisserated over his failure; but he
still looks down: on the one who. is en-
gagged in mechanical labor.
''Oh, yes, john Thompson!' remem-
Der him-a builder or engineer, be-
lieve. Well, John never had any am
bition, you know"
What nonsense! Ambition to succeed
in any branch is none the less ambi-
ton. The one who strives to excel as
shoemaker; 10 make the, very best
pair of shoes that can be made, is am
bilious. So with the carpenter, the
blacksmith, the painter, and even the
man who digs ditch.
The desire to reach by fair and hon
est means, the highest position that is
attainab'e iia ones occupation is ambi
ton of the purest kind. Nor does this
prevent any one from seeking fame and
money in other pursuits; on the con-
trary, it helps to raise, one step by step
until the fullest ambition is satisfied

COURTESY.
True Po1iteness Everywhere the Same-It
Consists in Doing the kindest Things in
the kindest Way.

True Politeness Everywhere the Same-It
Consists in Doing the kindest Things in
the kindest Way.
Spenser had an idea that courtesy
went with gentle blood, for he said:
"Of court it seems, men courtesy do call,
For that it there most useth to abound"
We can go back to a much older and
higher authority, however, and find the
command laid upon all, whether high
or low degree, BE courteous" Indeed,
/ believe the root of good breeding is in
the Golden Rule, and more of it than
most of US practice lies in the Thir-
teenth chapter of /. Corinthians. OF
course there are men who think truth
must be bluntness, and sincerity must
be rudeness; that pill isn't pill even,
if it happens to be sugar-coated!
DO not be deceived. wish you may
receive into your hearts the truth that
real courtesy is not inconsistent with a
kind sincerity. The gentle nature
shows itself in the gentle man. l be-
lieve true gentleman might go any
where in the world, and never be mis-
taken for any thing else, though he
might be utterly ignorant of the vary
ing customs. Ceremonies are differ
ent in every country, but true polite
ness is everywhere the same" so Gold
smith expresses it; and there is an old
nursery rhyme which! runs
"Politeness is to do and say
The kindest things in the kindest way"

PITH AND POINT.

"A woman who enters politics must
remember that chivalry is left outside;
judgment henceforth rules, not senti-
ment.
Many men spend dollar to save
ten cents; they wear out nickle's
worth of shoe leather In getting gift
of two cents worth of grindstone from
neighbor.
When you get into a tight place,
and every thing goes against you. till
it seems as if you could not hold on a
moment longer, never give up then,
for that is just the place and time that
the tide'l turn.-Harriet Beecher
Stowe.
Hope is prodigal young heir and
Experience is his banker; but his drafts
are seldom honored, since there is
often heavy balance against him, be-
cause he draws largely on a small cap
ital, is not yet in possession, and if he
were, would die.-Colton.
A man may have right to stint
himself of comforts, and even neces-
saries. if he prefers to employ in other
directions the money thus saved, but
he has no right to deny his wife, his
children, his servants, their proper
comforts and Injuries that he may buy
old china or rare books.-Once q Week.
Recreation is to the mind what
whetting is to the scythe. He, there
fore, who spends his whole time in
recreation is ever whetting, never
moving; his grass may grow and his
seed starve; as, on the contrary, he
who always works and never recreates
is ever moving, never whetting labor
ing much to little purpose.
The little dwarfed flower that
springs into life in the crevice of some
rock, shut in from sun and rain, grows
struggling toward the light, and as it
withers gives forth a perfect seed,
which the winds bear to more favor
able soil. So it is that the influence of
a word may not be felt by the nature
on which it falls, but its spell may be
borne to more yielding heart, and there
blossom in gladness.
We talk of joyless people, and yet,
though there may be a few of such,
they are not often met with. To near
ly every one. even though he be in the
severest situation, there is something
that gives him pleasure. And bidder
beneath exteriors that appear to be
wholly despairing there is frequently
q gladness that amounts to an eXhila-
ration. Like the ''eye" of the desert.

Eggs, for Market Only.

If your object is to keep hens, for the
purpose OF selling eggs, do not Keep a
lot of useless males to feed. The pres
ence OF O. male has no influence what
ever on the laying of the eggs, and, ii
any thing, he is nuisance when not
desired. Bear in mind, also that eggs
laid by hens not with males will KEEP
three times as long as WELL those that
contain the germs of chicks. The best
laying breeds are the small ones, such
as Leghorns, and more of them can be
kept together than of the larger kinds.
For eggs use the Leghorn. or cross

Easter Egg Parties.

Have you ever attended an Easter egg
party? No? Then you are unacquainted
with one of the most delightful OF social
enjoyments peculiar to this season. For
party of young people the hostess has pre-
nared q large basketful OF beautifully
lved and decorated eggs, from which each
one present draws The couples are as
sorted for the evening, through the cor
respondence of the eggs. Not until mid
NIGHT are the shells opened, when much in
terest and amusement is manifested over
the notices and tiny souvenirs found
within.
Many artistic souvenirs can be prepared
by an arrangement of pressed flowers and
grasses upon plain, gilt-edge cards. Fam
ciful designs may be traced, and, where
the flowers are faded, they may be re-
stored to their original color by the touch
of the paint brush. Such cards arg con-
sidered much more original just now than
either the painted or printed ones.-Efie

HARRY's EASTER EGGS.

The top-knot biddy with yellow legs,
Was Harry and every morn
He gave her orders for Easter eggs,
While he scattered the oats aud corn.
Day by day, for week, he fed
Rations of every hue;
Chosen ears of yellow and red,
And SQuaw-corn, white and blue.
SNOW, Biddy Top-lznot.' I heard him say,
Easter will be here soon;
A dozen eggs. at least, you must lay
By tomorrow afternoon;
Red ones, Biddy, the incest kind,
And yellow and blue, real bright,
Speckled and striped and spotted; now mint
Eat you make 'em zaclSly right
But in spite of feeding and coaxing, too,
His biddy would only lay,
Instead of red and yellow and blue,
Just one white egg day.
And Harrys patience was sorely tried,
But he waited al / watched the nest,
And stroked his biddy, and softly sig he'd,
Il fink she will do her best"
On Easter morning. wasn't it fun
Tolook at him through q crack
He went to the nest, as he'd often done,
But soon came capering back
With his apron full of Easter eggs,
Striped and spe cllled and gay;

He told mamma just how it befell;
She listened again and again;
Twas such a pleasure to hear him dwell
On the skill of his wonderful hen.
And when he had gone to share his prize
With Susy and Katy and Ned,
The dear mamma looked ever so wise,
But never q word she said.

What Boys Sh ould Do.

Horace Mann gives, this bit of advice
to boys: You are made to be kind.
boys generous. magnanimous. If
there is boy in school who has
club foot. don't let him know you ever
saw it. If there is a boy with ragged
clothes, don't talk about rags in his
hearing. If there is lame boy, assign
him some part of the game that doesn't
require running. If there is hungry
one, give him part of your dinner. If
there is a duh one. help him to get his
lessons. Ii there is a brightone, be not
envious of him; for if one boy is proud
of his talents, and another, is envious of
them, there are two great wrongs, and
no moro talent than before. If larger
or stronger boy has injured you, and is
sorry for it, forgive him. All the school
will show by their countenance how
much better it is than to have a great
fuss. And remember who said: Love
your enemies and Bless them which
curse you.'''

TOOK cold, and there came {. day or
two when could not read, nor could I
speak aloud, so conversation was impos-
slbie. Shall soon forget one evening
when Aleck brought his pile of picture
books to my side, and for an hour or
more turned the leaves patiently, and
told me the story of every picture? He
was not bookish boy by any means;
he liked active sports much better, but
he did his ''kindest thing in the kindest
way"
Please notice also that nearly all the
acts of courtesy which we are apt to
consider ceremonious, and therefore
meaningless, can be traced to some
ton shown to another.
| know there are good men. learned
| men, who persistently ignore the
| smaller courtesies and excuse them
| selves on the ground of high occupa-
| ton. They say: II can not remember
to lift my hat to a lady, or to rise and
open a door for her, Or place a chair, Or
always acknowledge favor promptly.
My thoughts are full of such or such
subject" Well, l suppose such men
wash their faces every morning without
giving much thought to it!
Others there are who do offer these
and similar attentions. but with such
fuss and appearance of trying, as to de-
stroy all their charm. These two ex-
tremes bring the lesson would hav
you heed; the lesson of a habit of
courtesy. The best breeding does all
kind acts, renders all polite attentions,
spontaneously but quietly, as if they
cost no thought-as naturally as breath
ing. And this can come only from the
constant daily repetition of such
courtesies, as opportunities occur, until
it would be far more difficult to omit
than to perform them. The boy must
begin as a boy, if he wishes, when
man, to bear
without abuse
The grand old anne of gentleman"
Let us not forget also that to do the
kindest thing in the kindest way will
affect our manner toward those who are
poorer, or in a lower position, or in
any way less fortunate than we. All
what rare delicacy it requires then. not
to put on airs, not to seem superior,
not to condescend in our politeness.
There is a very serious side to this
subject. The outward act reacts upon
the inner self. He who thinks manners
are of no consequence, and persist in be-
ing careless or rude, runs great risk of
growing coarse in spirit. There is also
much to consider in the real good to
others, as well as the pleasure we af-
ford them, by the regard we pay to the
amenities of life. The great question
of influence comes in here, and so you
see responsibility attaches itself to
what we sometimes call trivial things.
My boys, be courteous through and
through, and do not forget the exhibit
ton of it. You know coxcomb is one
who only affects to be a gentleman.
But you want to be q real gentleman
Remember what Tennyson said of his
friend:
'For who can always act? but he
To whom thousand memories call,
Not being less, but more than all
The gentleness he seemed to be-,
Best seemed the thing he was, and joined
Each Office of the social hour
To noble manners, as the flower
And native growth of noble mind >"
