A newspaper worker must not be too
sensitive. and must learn to bear crit
icisln with philosophy. Ii you do nine
ty-nine things well you may receive no
apparent credit for them. and if you
fail on the one-hundredth you may full
" expect that the failure will be no
ticed and criticised; that is one of the
inevitable consequences of work which
the whole public sees and upon which
it IS at liberty to pass Judgment II
you write an article which you fully
believe to be a masterpiece, do not be
disappointed if you fail to hear it CON-
mended or noticed at all. Very possi-
bly, you may conclude after a while
that you were mistaken and that it was
not a masterpiece. But even if it was
of unusual excellence, remember the
newspaper world is full of ambitious
young people who would rather be COM
plimented for their own masterpieces
than to stop and admire yours. Do not
be discouraged, but keep straight on.
doing every piece of work as faithfully
and perfectly as you possibly can, and
in time appreciation will come, very
likely when you least expect it and
perhaps from a quarter whence you
least looked for it. There is one great
reward and encouragement in news
paper work: When you have once OBJ
tanned good foothold you can always
hold it, If you will A reputation gained
for doing good, honest, capable work in
this line is something that will always
serve you, and when you have once
proved your ability you will never need
to go hunting for work. Work will
come to you as fast as you want it
1t is the first step that is difficult.
The obtaining a chance to begin is the
step that counts There is scarcely any
chance for an inexperienced person to
obtain even the humblest situation on
one of the great newspapers. Busy
editors and busy managers can not stop
to be troubled with the blunders of in
experience and will not take the risks
of incompetence. Almost everyone
must begin at first in some small Office
and gradually work his or her way up
ward After one or two promotions
the way is clear and success depends
only upon yourself.
But as long as you may live you will
never live long enough to know it all.
You will always be learning, and there
is hardly any form of knowledge but
will sometime come useful in news
paper work Cultivate attention and
memory, two OF the best aids and
friends to success. You will be sure to
find time when any scrap of accurate
knowledge or reliable information will
serve you a good turn. Fanny NJ.

Soap

People have no Il how
crude and cruel soap can be.
1t takes off dirt. So far,
SO good; but what else does
it do?
1t cuts the skin and frets
the under-skin makes red
ness and roughness and
leads to worse. Not soap,
but the alkali in it.
Pears Soap has no free,
alkali in it. 1t neither red
dens nor roughens the skin.
1t responds to water in
stantly; washes and rinses
off in a twinkling; is as
gentle as strong and the
after-effect is every way
good.
All sorts Of stores sell it,
especially druggists; all sorts
Of people use it.

"Ilcavcn aid me! Where am now
which way shall turn?"
The speaker was Frank Bcsant-the
scene, tho bank Of swollen stream
once mere mountain torrent, but now
a rushing river Of muddy waters
Many things had happened since the
fall Of Fort Donclson. First and fore
most the hero Of that splendid victory,
Ulysses Grant, for disobedicncc Of or
dcrs, had fallen under the cloud ~ Hal

General G. +. Smith, man Of high
military capacity, but brief career.
Poor fellow! His was not n soldiers
death on the battlefield, mid clany Of
arms and roar Of guns but tho wound
which laid him low--thc mere scratch
Of a rusty nail stepping into boat
after the fall Of Fort Donclson was
already sapping his vital forces.
Franks regiment was again on the
march TO join Bucll at Nashville, with
Frank "a acting Captain Of his com.

You can, for moments are preciois You
will and me In the garden below await
ing you"
And before he could speak one wo ID
Of reply. the fair vision had glided from,
the room.
Had these been less stirring times, he
might have thought the whole scene
the phantasy OF a over-tired brain, but
q soldiers life had rendered him quick
to cast of the lethargy Of sleep. and in
an instant he had his faculties about
him.
~ am here" came the silvery tones Of
womans voice, as he stepped from the
broad porch TO the garden walk.
This Is a sudden alarm, Miss Las
celles," he said, as he Joined her under
the gloomy shadow Of big magnolia.
But none the less necessitous," she
replied; TASK me not how I know II,
Frank Bcsant, but already your enc
mics and my friends-alas, the cruel
bitterness Of it--are closing around you"
"But, surely, when he remembers the
humane errand came on your grand
fathers protection would be afforded
me-"
Eyes, and he thinks II would be all.
sufficient, but know better"
You are very. very good 10 me-" the
young man sighed, softly.
"Ah, you have found that out. II is
hard for n woman 10 keep a secret like
mine"
Her voice trembled as she spoke, while
Frank felt dull sense Of shame and
dread creep over him. Surely there
could be but one meaning 10 her words
lie knew not what TO reply.
~ shall never be able to do enough to
show my gratitude" he said, lamely.
"Neverl" was the passionate reply.
"Who knows2" the young soldier VEN
tured. "The fortunes Of war are vari-
Gus, and IL may be my turn 70 help you
when next we meet"
Help mel You help mel God keep
me from your help! You have helped
me now, Frank Besant, 20 forget the
holy cause that should absorb my very
soul, TO barter my sense OF duty TO my
fatherland for an unwomanly interest
IN one who comes with sword and fire
10 waste my country. But harkr she
cried. suddenly selling his hand in
both OF hers. surely that Is the sound
Of horses hoofs? Away, down yonder
path among the apple-treesl II will
bring you TO the Nashville pike. Here
IN this basket is food and wine: take It,
and hurry: but, oh, one word before
you go. II In the time TO come"
hut horsemen were coming Mt furious
speed along the Swallowed avenue, and
the girls injunction was never uttered;
for. with bound, Frank dashed 10 tho
path OF freedom, and ran stumbling
through the darkness to the distant
highway.
The stars OF another night were glim-
mering in the heavens, when, footsore
and weary, he reached the fair city,
whose beautiful streets had been Of late
so often trodden by friend and foe.
