An Old Rennlngtonian.

We publish part of personal letter,
written by Mrs. Sylvania Davenport of
Troy, N. Y, to her niece, Mrs. L. D..
Hamlen. Mrs. Davenport is sister of
the late Nelson Thayer and the only
member of the large family now living
She was born in Bennington in 1910, and
at the age of eighty-ive, is now, as ever,
a willing worker for the poor and suffer
ing. Her hands never tire in doing good
Even this is but small portion of the
work in which she is constantly engaged
as the years go by.
This item will be of interest to her
many friends here and encourage others
to respond to the many appeals for the
suffering in all parts of our land. In her
younger days Mrs. Davenport joined
what was then called the Gold Water
Army or Tea. tollars," she has faith
fully lived up to all of its requirements
and to this day drinks nothing but cold
watec-not using even tea or coffee.
The letter is dated Feb. 9TH, 1895, and
after speaking of the pleasure it gives
her to hear from old friends, Mrs Daven-
port says: "As for myself, | have been
pretty well this winter, and have been
very busy making garments for the Ne
braska sufferers. 1 have been unable to
sleep nights they are almost so constant
ly in my mind when awake. | have
tackled eight comforters and filled bar
rel full. Charles put in six pairs of all
wool socks. He and his wife thinks
best to attend to helping the poor nearer
home. have heard from the S. check
to Kansas, and the barrel to Nebraska
and 81 check to the friendless children of
New York, also barrel with four COM
fUrters, etc. bought thirty yards for
comforters one day and it is all made up.
l get Howard to help me Saturdays.
The Doctor does oppose my sewing on
my machine, so Howard likes to earn a
little money by earning it himself. He
got the second prize. He had 10 large
books and will not get them all read this
winter but he eads great deal of the
time when at home"

PERsEvERANCE.

OF the various qualities that con-
tribute to success the most essential
of all is perseverance. One may have
courage, but when not backed by
patience 1t Is often unavailable. Knowl-
edge without judgement is yalueless.
Generosity is noble quality, but It may
waste itself in prodigality. Charity is
sometimes misplaced and iss possessor
rewarded with ingratitude. Benevolence
is frequently mlsapplied CONF :
dence Is wasted often, and energy when
misdirected will feed upon itself. In
deed all other essentials to human con-
auct alone or combined may fail to
