The following communication from Mrs

Alexander IT'S Courage.

The car has been frequently accused
of cowardice-an indictment to which,
it must be admitted, many undeniable
facts lend a strong coloring of probable
ity. Thus it has been alleged in support
of the charge that he seldom drives about
the city alone, and when not escorted by
a body of Cossacks is invariably accom-
panied by her majesty the empress. His
profound seclusion at CATCHING, where
for considerable period he hid himself
even from the bulk of his own officers.
likewise created a most unfavorable inn
preston. which is by no means yet re-
moved.
Again, the sight of the armies that
guard the railway lines along which he
happens to be travelling, the elaborate
system of espionage, and the practice OF
employing agents provocateurs, who
sometimes organize the crime which they
discover, have contributed to impart con-
sistency to charge which his creditable
career as an officer should have amply
sufficed to refute. -Contemporary Re

FOE OR FRIEND.

When 1 was but child, SO near he came,
felt his breath;
fsed in fear and trembled at his name,
This monster, Death.
So sudden was his coming that knew
No danger nigh,
Until my playmate at my side he slew.
With bitter cry,
saw my brother stretched upon his bier.
1 touched his face;
Twas icy cold. spake he did not hear.
Then, for a space,
Tknew no more. They carried me away,
The house was still.
How hushed it was, and strange it seemed
Zach day,
With presence i'll.
How deep the terror brooding over all!
How dread the fear
Lest once again the shifting bolt should fall
With Death SO near!
knew not that the awful phantom face,
So stern, SO grim.
Familiar grown, might show TRANSPORTED
grace,
Some sign from Him
Might show the marble majesty of peace,
When spent the breath,
The calm thou bringest sharp pains
surcease,
o white-winged Death!
And, if thy fearful touch and cold embrace
My soul shall send
TO meet agaia my loved ones face to face,
Thou art my friend.

There seems to be a mode in malaiiVs
as well as in nantes, styles in suffering
as novelties in dress. Just at the present
time it isn't fashionable to have any phys
ical ailment unless it is something vague
and peculiar under the general name of
nerves. and the odd thing about it is
only the more robust and vigorous WON.
en-, so far as looks are an indication Of
virility, that have this nervous Prostra-
ton perpetually on hand If woman
looks pale and delicate, she never will adj
init that she is not strong.
The fin de steele girl glories in bearing
physical pain without a complaint. She
will seat herself in the dentists or ocu-
lists chair as unconcernedly as if posing
for the photographer and submit to the
most painful operations without n groan;
in fact, assuring the operator THAT ii

if subjected to half as much suffering.
But we are returning to the days of
sloping shoulders, of parted pensive
tresses, of fullness and frivolity in dress.
The UP to date girl is sweetly submissive,
not smart and self reliant. She wears
flowers in her hair and occasionally even
ventures in what the girl in the old nov

bosom, your rose that you have given

and modest little blush. Now the ques-
ton is, Will the 'vapors" and ''swoons"
and ''sobbings" of that period come in
again? The Amelias and Delias and Caro-.
lines of that day were always in dead

Joy and tainted for sorrow. a girl of
that time swooned off when her lover
proposed, and when she came to she was
always lying in his arms, and Of course
it was all over and no use trying to tell
a fellow about being a sister to him after

There was another feature about this
swooning fit of the old time heroine, and
that was that her dearest friend was al

time of hidden hooks ever To loosen a
bodice before the heroine passes over the

difficult for the modern girl, who has
trained herself to smile when her heart
breaks, to die rather than reveal her heart,
to conceal her joy and preserve her Sc

he applies himself to leaping or run

his corporeal powers,- he wants
very little exhortation, SO far as my
experience goes, to be energetic with
that portion of his duties,-let him
carry the very same spirit into the
work which is intended to develop
his mental faculties. The extension
of the government employments has

FIVE CENTS WORTH OF TRAVEL

FIVE CENTS WORTH OF TRAVEL
We know bright boy whose great
longing is to travel. His parents have
no means with which to crafty him
in that respect. He occasionally earns
few pennies by selling papers and
doing errands. Instead of spending
his money foolishly, he carefully
treasures it in small iron box which
he calls his safe. One day after earn
ing five cents, he dropped them into
the box in the presence of compan-
ion of about his own age, and exclaim-
ed, s'There goes five cents worth of
travel!"
other boy. "How can you travel on
five cents?"
give cents will carry me mile and
a half on the railroad. I want to see
Niagara Falls before die. am nearly
four hundred miles from them now,
but every five cents I earn will bring
them nearer, and a great many other
places that are worth seeing. know
it takes money to travel; but money
is money, be it ever SO little, I shall
never have the much.'
Some boys squander every year the
cost of coveted trip to some point
Of interest. Let them remember that
every five cents saved means a mile
and a half Of the journey. Small
amounts, carefully kept, will foot up
surprising results at the end of the
year; and almost every doctor will
testify that five cents worth of travel
is better for the boy than five cents
worth of sweets.
