Never Despair.

"This battle is lost" said Desaix to
Bonaparte at Marengo, "but there is yet
time to win another!"
With the aid of Desaix. the conquerer
of kings, never stopping to brood over
his misfortune, won that auspicious VIC
tory soon after blazoned on the banners
of his guards. Repentance is blessed
state of mind, but in and of itself it
never saved the day. Despair over de-
feat may be perfectly natural, but it has
never won another victory. A consci-
entious but erring lady said the other
day that she spent much time in sorrow-
ing over past mistakes, and thus she
committed the biggest mistake of all.
'Never despair!" said Sir Walter
Scott, sitting down, an aged cripple, to
write off debt of stupendous size, nor
resting until he had accomplished his
purpose.
"Never despair' muttered that gal
liant Frenchman, Bernard Palissy, as he
hurled his last stick of furniture into the
furnace containing the first glazed porce-
lain ever made in modern years. Hence

Fight With q Leopard.


A striking illustration of British
,ourage and dogged persistence was
given by an officer in India, named Ap-
cher, in fight with leopard. He
was going round rock, following the
beast, which he had wounded, when
the leopard, meeting the hunter, dash
ed at him. Apcher jumped one side
and fired. The shot only staggered the
leopard. The man started TO run, but
before he could turn round the beast
was almost upon him.
He struck the animal with the gun
as it was in the act of striking him and
SO warded off the blow from his head.
But the beasts claws of one paw cut his
right cheek, and the other paw knocked
the gun out of the officers hands.
With all his strength the man dashed
his right hand into the beasts mouth
and with the left grasped him around
the throat. The leopard caught him
near the elbow and bit through the fore
arm. Exerting all his strength, Apcher
threw the leopard into a rift between
the rocks and on its back. With his
knee on its chest, one hand in its mouth,
the other grasping its throat, he held
the struggling animal. His native boy
came up with a double barreled gun.
Put it in the leopard's mouth and
fire," said Apcher.
The boy obeyed, pulled both triggers
and killed the beast, fortunately with
out hitting the hand. The dogged off
GERS left hand and arm were much in
jured; every finger Of the right han1
was lacerated, the hand bitten through
and the forearm torn m five places
