Not So Bad as We Seem

1t is true that in those earlier ages men
died for faith, principle, ideas; but so do
they die for them in this age. Every
day throughout the world men are TAX
ing flying leaps to death because of their
fidelity to ideas. The poor switchman
that last week leaped on the railroad
track in front of the rapidly moving
train and flung two little children from
it, but met his own death under the MUIR
derous wheels of the ponderous machine,
died because of his idea of duty. 1t was
not his duty to fling away his own life
for that of others, but he thought it was,
and he did it. Self sacrifice, unselfsh-
ness of the highest and noblest sort, is
not of any particular age, but of all ages.
The spirit of compromise is the spirit of
seliishness, and it is not an exclusive
growth of the present time.
Indeed, it would be difficult, if not inn
possible to find any other period of the
worlds history in which the spirit of
charity, of good will toward men, was
more sentient or active than it is today.
1t is not only in this country, but in all
countries, that benevolence flows in a
steady stream from the rich to the poor.
The land is thick with great charities.
We need but look about any great city
like this to recognize how strong and
broad and deep the stream of charity
flows. 1t is epitomized in scores of in
stitutions kept alive at most enormous
cost for the helping Ct those who need
help; there are hospitals, homes, asy-
huns, refugees, schools numberless, which
all represent the worlds unseldshness
its liberality and charity. This age i:
not worse but better, than those which
went before it, because there is ever {
potent spirit abroad in it helping an(
improving it. Religion, education. socia
usages, are all employed in shaping thC
world to better ends, and they are doing
it efectually. philadelphia Telegraph

MI Christopher p. Craneh relates In
Ihe Independent his memories of Web
ster, Calhoun aud their contemporaries.
especially in the great Webster Hayne
duello in the senate. "The impression. u
he says, Mr. Calhoun made on me. as he
sat there, Sphinx like, in his chair. as
president Of the senate, was that he had
the faculty-like Napoleon-of discharg-
ing oil expression from his face. He
must have had immense self control. and
was totally unlike the mobile Benton. of
missouri Calhoun, whom. often heard
speak, seemed like a man Of cast iron.
His voice was deep and strident. His
personality was very intense. Benton l
several times heard. He was very stout
and forid, with light, thin hair. His
manner seemed to me very pompous. He
was verbose and grandloquent, and had
a habit OF entertaining his sentences with
sir to degree that was sometimes al
most comic.
Il once witnessed tremendously sharp
passage at arms between Benton and
Clay. They were on opposite sides of the
senate chamber-else l don't know what
might not have happened. Some personal
illusions had been made by Benton q
forget what, and then Mr.. Clay replied.
Shall never forget his tone, attitude and
gesture, as he stood there, his tall, COM
mandinS figure all alive with fire, and
rolled of his fluent and sarcastic SEN
fences, shaking his long forefnger at his
antagonist, and glazing across the room
hlled with anxious faces. : happened to
be not far from Mr.. Benton, and saw him
color and tremble, and even heard him
nutter with suppressed rage. Some OF
the audience feared this encounter (which
involved question of veracity, I think
might lead to duel, for those were duel
days in Washington. But | never heard
that anything came of it.''-New York

Governesses in New South South Wales.
New South Wales does not seem an
ideal place for 'gentlewomen" to emf

peared in a Sydney paper to the follow

try, eldest pupil eleven; must be good

lady who has ably filled some of the best
appointments in England and in the
colony, but who was fort the moment dis
engaged, answered the advertisement.

The Hatless Lady.

A young woman made her way to her
seat past all the people in the orchestra
seats OF the Lyceum theatre night or
two ago, attracting unusual attention.
because she had left her hat in the ladies'
room. She was young and plump, and
had raven black hair that fell in a clus-
ter OF tight ringlets over her brow. She
was not particularly good looking. Her
face was too strongly marked and full of
strong character to be femininely beautl
full. One of the habitues of the theatre
determined to find out what the other
ladies had said of her in the buzz that
greeted her appearance, so between the
acts he asked every man he knew what
the lady he had with him had said when
she saw the bare headed leader of that
fashion which all men dream of, but
scarcely hope to see established. These
are the comments he got;
"My wife says she must be fast"
:" She looks like a baboon,' my girl
said"
My companion says, IF she wants to
attract attention so badly, why doesn't
she weai trousers, like DR. Mary Walker? -
She's got pretty hair; that's why she
does it."
wen, she uluSl want 10 make SNOW
of herself"
Deep in their hearts every woman in
the house envies her her pluck for COM
ing in that way, for its right, and if
only some swells would do it we would
all be glad to leave our hats off"
The utterer of this sentiment, SO dia-
metrically opposite to all the others, was
a young married woman, the wife of a
music publisher. When the theatre
goer heard this, he took the publisher
over to the hotel across the way and
said, 81 want to drink your health.
You've got the best woman in that
