Are You Looking for MauP

A sack containing about two tbou-
sand letters, addressed to all parts of
the world and written by men in the
klondike or on the trail, was left at
Oyea some time ago by an outcoming
miner, who evidently kept the money
entrusted to him for the purchase of
stamps and his services as volunteer
mail carrier. The letters have been re-
ceived, and those intended for points
In California were sent to the San
Francisco Chronicle, which has sum-
piled the necessary postage. The 9th
srs are in the hands of o. Marcusee, Of
Dyea, who is mailing many of them
and hopes soon to have them all sent
to their destinations.

best soldiers; but this is an error. Ao-
cording to the testimony Of all expert
enced officers, men of bad character,
however brave, physically, are a curse
to any army. Such men are generally
the prime movers of characterization
and mutiny, and, if there is any trea-
son at work, are pretty sure to be at the
bottom of It,
Moral courage is as essential in mill.
tary as in civil life, and it is not an at
tribute of the depraved and vicious. He
who goes to battle with a clear con-
science, confident in the justice Of the
cause for which he risks his life, and
believing that God is on his side, is the
only true hero. He is not bloodthirsty,
ne is not under the domination of a
sanguinary and brutal instinct, but he
is enthusiastic where ardor is required,
calm and collected in emergencies,
and can bear up cheerfully against re-
verses, hardships and privations, under
which the desperate would wilt
down" or desert.
What but moral courage, born of in
tegrlty of purpose and confidence in
heaven, sustained the ragged, half
starved, ill-paid soldiers of a bankrupt
republic, in their desperate struggle
with the well-appointed legions of the
enemy, during the darkest hours of the
American revolution? The ice-ob-
structed Delaware had not been crossed,
the battles Of Trenton and Princeton
mad never been fought and won, the
horrors of the winter bivouac at Valley
Forge had never been endured. the in
estimable blessing Of our national indie
pendence had never been attained but
Tor the moral courage and fortftude of
good and true men, at peace with God
and their own consciences.
Rowdies and desperadoes never
achieve such exploits, or submit pa
tlently to such hardships, as have made
the heroes of '76 immortal in history.
1t may be set down as an axiom that
Oad men never make good soldiers.

The First Shock of nntt1o.


Men even of the strongest nerves and
the most undoubted pluck do not feel
quite comfortable when, for the first
time, under fire. 1t is no dishonor to his
manhood if the heart of the young SOL
der beats double quick" in his maiden
battle. This feeling soon wears off.
During the war in the Crimea the
men in the allied army were often
heard specializing, on the eve of a con-
hlct, upon the probability of obtaining
certain articles of clothing, of which
they stood in need, from the bodies of
the russians they expected to slay.
Ihey never seemed to take into consid-
Grafton their own chances of being
knocked over and stripped by the Rus
SLAMS. The cool and systematic manner
In which they provided themselves
with foot gear is worthy of note.

Franks Dream.

Frank had been walking in the gar.
den with his uncle, who had been ex-
planning to him how the plant Was
rolled up in the tiny seed. and how the
sun and rain and air worked together
with the mysterious life that was in
the germ Of the seed to unroll 1t and
make it stretch out into a tall, fruit
full plant
He fell asleep in the arbor thinking
about it, and dreamed that he heard a
number of soft voices talking close 70
him. He listened, and soon came to
know that they were talking about
him, and seemed to be rejoicing that
they had found him.
Isn't it wonderful" one of the voices
exclaimed. Just to think that there is
a splendid man wrapped up in him"
Yes, dear Faith" answered another,
and 1t is our duty to help get the man
out. 1t will be your turn first. What
will you do?"
i will teach him to become rooted
in Christ" answered Faith, $50 that nc
may begin to grow. What will you do,
Sister Prayer?"
"Oh, l will strengthen your arms and
help him by claiming the promises to
draw rich nourishment for his growth"
And l." spoke up Promise, will
help you by giving him all the rich
things God has in store for him as soon
as he is hungry for them, and here by
my side in the Word are Commandment
and Warning and knowledge and
Praise. They will help him to grow
into strong man"
And l." said Obedience, "wiH hast
en- his growth by turning him in the d.
rection of Promise. 1 will lead him to
where you can reach him"
"And l." spoke up Good Works,
will give him such exercise every day
that he will grow rapidly
And l" whispered a voice that
sounded like soft zephyr, will watch
over you all and over him; and make
all your work fruitful and perfect him
in the image of his Father"
Then all the other voices softly
whispered: at was the Spirit that
spoke. Amen. So will we do If he
will give attention to us. Christian

Death Rate In hattie.

OF the fifteen decisive battles of tina
world the average death rate in the
last five of them (of which alone re-
liable statistics are preserved) was
about rs per cent, ranging from 20 per
cent, the British loss at Saratoga. to AZ
per cent, the loss of the Swedes at Pull
iowa. OF other great battles it is diff
cult to fix the average death rate
though it may be estimated at about 20
per cent. The rates range from O.9
(the German loss at Sedan in Septen-
Der, 1S90,) to so per cent, the British
loss at Bloody Albuera. As a matter
of fact, things stand very much as they
used to do, save that the slaughter,
when it does occur, always comes more
quickly. A great battle in which the
quick-fring guns can be brought into
effective use will probably increase the
death rate largely, but that remains
to be proved. General statistics prove
that since the Trojan war, 5000 years
ago, not single year has elapsed in
which some war has not caused the
killing of a large number of men:
while it is calculated that all the
worlds wars are responsible for the
death of $4,000. OO0.0 900 of human beings.

"a Gully washer, 4 Trash Mover, Pine
Knot F1oater."
From the washington Post: ''It was
awfuIly dry in Georgia once" remarked
| Mr.. George Dallas. There had been
no rain for weeks, and the corn and
cotton were burning up in the fields.
The creeks had begun to dry up, and
even springs that had never been
known to fail gave signs that their
supply of the aqueous fluid was run
ming low. 1t began to look as though
relief could never come from the
heavens. Day after day blazing sun
shone down from a cloudless sky, Bills
tering and whitening all vegetation
and expressing the handwriting sons
and daughters of the land with a fear
that distress would soon be their por-
tlon-distress that might take on star
vatton's form. About this time the
religious people OF the county began
to hold prayer meetings to invoke as
sistance of the Deity. In every conf
munity the good old farmers and their
families assembled to pray for rain.
This was at an epoch when the scien-
tific ideas about producing rain from
explosives had not gained a foothold,
and no faiiirs went about, as they
lately have done in Kansas and other
parts Of the West, offering to bring
showers at so much per shower. No,
indeed; these were the times of simple
faith and belief in the efficacy of sup
plication to the Omnipotent. In one
neighborhood in the county of Coweta,
where the drought was particularly
severe, prayer meeting had been
called for certain day, and at the
time appointed a congregation of sew
eral hundred sufferers met to beg that
the drouth be broken. 1t CHANGED that
new preacher, who had but lately
come to that section, and who was, as
l remember, an exponent of the hard
shtlF Baptist creed, was called upon to
make the principal petition. He pray
ed feryently and with all the fervor
or an agonized spirit. o Lord, said
ne, Thou knOWest our distress. We
beseech Thee come to our rescue. Lord, |
we don't want any of your little !
drizzle- doz2les, but send us instead u
gully washer, a trash mover and a !
pine-knot fioater. Amen. l hope I |.
may never gain pardon for my faults
IN the next world if there didn't come |
within the next thirty-six hours after
the delivery of that prayer the biggest
rain that had ever descended on
CoWeta county. The oldest inhabitant
couldn't remember such another de-
luge. 1t rained about three days with
out stopping; washed two-thirds of the
fences through a big region into the
Chattahoochie river; swept away every
bridge, and played havoc generally
And the worst of it was that those
miserable countrymen who had in
cited the preacher to pray his best
wanted to drum him out of the coun-
Try because of the emphatic response
% his entreaty for rain"
