Goodness in Danger.

Lord William Lennox, lin his "RecolIec-
tons" tells story of the CoOlness Of the
Duke of Wellington. The French with a
fresh force double that of the duke, were clos
ing in upon his i4ded troops, one stormy
night in Spain. Wellington completed lis
preparations and turning To u scout, said
How long will it be before they can reach
u.s."
"Half m hour" was The reply.
"rhcn | can 90 to sleep" he said and
wrapping his cloak about him he dropped
where he stood in the muddy trench aud in
an instant was asleep. He woke when the
buglc of the enemy sounded in his ears.
Napoleon, his soldiers were accustomed TO
declare, not only s,ep, soundy when under
fire, but even when riding on horseback,
This singular physical trait is not more n
proof of courage than Il cause OF it; the brain
in these hrict moments of sleep, finds new
vitality, and wukCns ready for the conflict
again.
a story IS told Off famous English admir-
nj, Sir sydney Smith, whose ship, the Ante.
lopc, in a terrible storm in the North sea WAS
driven among the rocks. Sir Sydney sum-
moncd his officers to the cabin.
"Gcntlcmcn, you know our condition.
We nrc driving on the breakers. ! aCknow-
ledge can do nothing more. If Uny Of you
can make suggestion, now is the time"
There was an unbrokcn silence.
"Thcn there is nothing to he done but to
await our fate" He touched the bell
"pierrc, bring up the coffee"
\ story came from Switzerland year ago
ola mountain guide whose name was not
preserved. He, with two others, was lead
ing party over one of the most precipitous
passes of the higher Alps. The men, Il.
usual, were tied to each other by Il long
rope.
As they scaled the wall Of ice they slipped
on the edge Of Il irighttul Chasm. This man
was ut the end OF the rope. Without his
wcigu, there was chance for the Others to
regain their footing; with it, there was none.
He cast glance down at the dirk abyss,
filled with fathomless SHOWS, then drew his
knife from his belt, saying quietly to the man
next to him
Tell mother how it was, jose"
lie cut the rope and fell never to be seen
of mortal man again.

Danger of False Tenderness,

The danger of false tenderness in the train
ing of children was finely illustrated at one
time in this manner: A person who was
greatly interested in entomology secured, at
grea, pains, a fine specimen Of an emperor
moth in the larva state. Day by day he
watched the little creature as he wove about
him his cocoon, which is very singular in
shape, much resembling flask. Presently
the time drew near for 1t to emerge from it's
wrappings, and spread its large wings of ex-
ceeding beauty. On reaching the narrow
aperture of the neck of the flask the pity of
the person watching it was so awakened, to
see the struggling necessary TO get through
that he cut tho cords, thus making
the passage easier But alas His
false tenderness destroyed all the bril-
liant colors for which this species of
moth is noted The severe pressure was the
very thing needed to cause the flow of fluids
which created the marvellous hues. Its
wings were small, dull in color, and the whole
development was imperfect. How often we
see Il similar result in character, when
parents, thinking TO help n child over some
hard places, rob him OF strength Of purpose
and other qualities essential to the highest
attainment in mental and spiritual life

The first marriage of Jefferson Davis was
of Il somewhat romantic character. After
graduating at West Point he was ordered to
Fort Crawford at Prairie du Chen, Wis, the
post then commanded by Col Zachary lay
ior. The daughter of the latter, Miss Sallie
Knox Taylor, at once fell desperately in love
with the handsome and intellectual young
lieutenant, rnd the affection was rcciprGCated,
but the old colonel was avcrse to any match
making under the circumstances and perem-
torily forbade Davis from visiting his quar-
tiers except in M official capacity. The
lovers managed to see each other by STRATA
gem, however, and one morning at daylight
they were missing The household was in
stantly aroused, the servants Intercepted,
and search made, but nothing was elected
save thut the door of the stable was open,
four horses were gone, and their tracks indi-
Gated hasry departure. Further cxamina-

Your Paper Talks to You.

A newspaper is a wonderful instrumental
~ in Il community. 1t talks TO all the people.
You Can read it, and when it is read once
you can send it away to friend and he can
read it and then lay it away for year and it
will never lose interest. In no way can you
bring an important matter before a commu-
nifty better than through a local paper. No
enterprise in the community is more worthy
of a liberal support. You get in a perma-
nent and unmistakable form what is said in
the local paper The lecture or sermon you
hear soon slips from your memory and leaves
no impression on your mind, and you can
find no one to repeat it to you but in the To-
cal paper you can find it and read it again
and again. Some people keep all their
papers and read again what is put in them.
This is good idea, as in tue course of years
it becomes an interesting volume.

In Ia suburban school the other day it fell
to the turn of Il stout boy of ~ to read the
following sentence from the account in the
reading book of the battle of Yorktown:
The assault upon the British works was
made by 800 picked men from the American
ranks"
And the boy read it;
The assault upon the British works was
inside by 800 picked men,"
The idea suggested by this reading was so
droll that the teacher asked the boy
"What do you suppose that meansY"
"Oh," said he'll suppose they took the
picked men so they could run them through
the encmys ranks easier"
This brings TO the Listeners mind the no.
tion ofhis friend, little Pete, who, when he
was taken to see the turnout of militia last
fall, explained TO his brother the use of the
spiked helmets Of the soldiery:
They have those so that when they are in
n battle they can duck their heads down and
bunt right into the enemy!"

Such Pretty Ways.

"She had such pretty ways with her.
That was the reason an honest, hard work
ing msn gave for marrying girl of whom he
knew little else, but who was really pro =
fcssional bigamist, travelling about the coun
try and marrying husband after husband as
matter of speculation.
1t is the pretty ways of women which have
ruined many a man of every age, including
the greatest of generals, statesmen and philo-
sophers,
If the pretty ways come from the heart it
is all right Ifthey are the result of cold, sell
fish, calculating art, woe is to him who falls
their victim.
Nothing is truer than that women are bet
ter and worse than men. A man could hard
ly be so bad as a woman is when she puts on
the prettiest ways of the sex for mischief

A Comprehensive Question.

The Jews are fond of telling stories on

second hand clothesman can be saddled with
the responsibility for any points on the race.
But one of the most comprehensive questions

hand fellows to another after he had Just sue
ceeded in selling him an old coat for new.

ticularly the auguries gathered from
the state of the atmosphere on New
Years Eve. The superstition in ques-
ton, however, is not peculiar to the
Highlands of Scotland, but shared
with the northern European nations
in general, most of whom assigned
portentous qualities to the winds of
New Years Eve.
1t is on this night that those Scot
fish mummers, the Guisars, who resem-
BILE the masqueraders of more mod
ern times, still go about the streets,
habited in antic dresses, having their
their faces covered with wizards and
carrying cudgels in their hands. The
doggerel lines repeated by these mas
quers, as given by Mr.. Calender, in a
paper contributed by him to the
Transactions of the Antiquarian So
