Manly Men.

If ever the church and society were in
need of manly men, lifted above all self
ishness and little meannesses and low
down cupidity and self seeking and self
promotion, that time is now present in
the bloom of full maturity. Society is
cursed with crafty men, smart business
men, many of whom seem to have no
conscience, no convictions, no fixed prin-
cipes, no high sense of honor, no fine
sense of Justice, no deep sympathetic
feeling. We want men who are indie
pendent thinkers, independent actors,
characterized by moral heroism, despis-
. ing batteries, while fearless of censure
and criticisms and uninfiuenced by the
temptations of sorlid wealth and prom
ised promotion. We want clean men,
pure men, men consecrated to high pur-
poses, emancipated from all trivialities
and waggish ways, from all lightness
and buffoonery and thoroughly Invested
of all hypocrisy and insincerity; who
will tower above the foolish fashions of
the day, tower above petty social con-
ventionalites and, above all, cunning
dealers who indulge in telling ''white
lies,'' and above the practise of double
dealing and using false weights and
false measures.
We want men who have never boosted
that once they were drundards and card
PLAYERS and libertines and debauchees
and who think it quite joke to have it
proclaimed in religious meetings that, be-
fore they reformed" they were very
bad men. Men who boast of having
sowed much "wild oats'' while young are
not safe men. We want men who, while
in Rome, are too high minded to do as
Romans do and who, when tempted by
fair sirens to perform an unmanly and ig-
noble act, have the moral stamina to say
no. The church is greatly in need OF
men who walk in the footsteps of Christ
and breathe the spirit of our Lord; in
need of men who are not swayed by love
of present gain, not gangrened with envy
and jealousy, not bent on revenge and re-
taliation, not digging others down in
order to build themselves up, which, to
suits in moral and financial suicide.
Let us have men who are moral and de-
cent as well as religious; who can tell
the truth easier than they can pray in
public: who are far better every day
Christians than Sunday Christians and
picnic Christians; who would rather be
serving in the minority and among the
lowly poor, than to be displaying their
vanity and ignorance in GLORIOUS con-
vention;'' who would rather suffer de-
feat in righteous cause, than to enjoy
sensuous and popular pleasure at the ex-
pense of cowardice and dishonor; who
would rather dress in linsey woolsey or
in fig leaves, and pay their honest debts,
than to sport in borrowed plumage and
let their creditors how'll Christian

One of the most interesting things con-
Almy, at Plymouth, N. H., was the not
able feat of shorthand reporting per-
formed for the Boston Globe by Mrs w.
B. Harte. About six o'clock on Tuesday
a request was sent into the office by
Frank I'll. Stanyon and William E. Rob-
inson, who'were covering the trial, for
an extra shorthand reporter. There was
not man to be found at the time and
there was only an hour in which to catch
the last train up. Mrs Harte happened
to be in the office, however and, when
the matter was suggested to her, she at
once volunteered to go. Within the hour
she was prepared for the journey and
aboard the train and about midnight
reached Plymouth. After getting few
hours sleep at hotel she went to the
court room bright and early and took
notes steadily until o'clock in the after
noon, when she started on two miles
journey to Concord, the Geographic head
quarters. Here she wrote out and filed
$4,000 words, finishing about 3 o'clock in
the morning. Securing just two hours
sleep, she went back to Plymouth in
time to go into court again at 9 o'clock,
left at l o'clock that afternoon for Bos-
ton and got out 10000 words for the
Globe that evening. L doubt if any
woman journalist in the country ever
equaled this remarkable feat Journal

1t is a great delusion to imagine that
the art of getting on good terms with
men is kind of thing that you need not
study quite as diligently as you study
Greek or Latin. Men are just as diff
cult to get hold of as skittish colts in a
meadow. There is an art in it that needs
to be mastered if it is to be practised.
One great secret of success is to recog-
nize that, as Sir Walter Scott used to say,
"There is no man, however ignorant he
may be, who could not teach me some
thing" 1t will do you good to learn
what he has to teach you; it will please
him to feel that you are willing to recog-
nize his capacity to give you informant
ion Golden Rule.

When the farming towns understand
that they can make money by having
good roads, the days of wheels up to the
axle in mud will be pretty much num-
bered. When they realize that, on a
proper road, one horse can draw as much
load as two or four can on most of the
country roads now, they will be ready to
stir themselves for the roads. The

ting the subject and, here in Connecticut,

THAT DANIELS FARM ROAD.

Two correspondents in the BEE have
discussed a road around the Daniels
Farm hills, one November 10 and one
December 4. He of November Is is cor
rect: nothing the matter with his brain.
| think there must be something the mat
ter with a mans brain who would order
a survey around the lower hill; had bet
ter save the money to grade with. In the
first place, the lower hill is just about
the same grade as the survey and less
distance. 1t can be put to great deal
less grade for one quarter of the money
it would cost to build the new road, to
say nothing about paying damages. To
build a road around the lower hill, it
would be necessary to build two large
bridges over running streams and from
six to ten sluices. A road built on a
side hill is hard to keep the water off
from. The upper ditch will fill and the
water must come on to the road The
"canal in Summer and the toboggan
slide in Winter will be at right angles
in this case. Besides there are three fami-
lies who demand that the old road be
kept open and in repair, which will make
extra expense for the town. | do not be-
lieve in spending thousands when hun
dreds will do the job, it all of the meney
is to be raised by tax. Now we will take
the old Daniels Farm hill the other is
in White Plains. | have it from good au-
thority, from one of the best civil en-
gineers in the State, that road can be
built on the east side, at less grade, one
half the distance and at one half the ex-
pense that it can be built for on the west
side. Why don't the petitioners take "A
survey of the east side. Why, Mr. Warren
owns the land and he signed the petit
ton. Perhaps l would, had they given
me the chance. / do not blame the peo-
pie who live up there for wanting a bet
ter road, but do favor grading. When
you begin to take off from the top of a
hill and put at the bottom. you are
lessening the elevation fast. | hope
every voter in town and all parties inter-
ested will come and look this survey
over before town meeting, which is call
