His One Brave Deed.
She was a hero worshiper

she was a nero W0rSnlper.
Often she would read history just to
find some new hero to worship.
Otherwise she would read such nov.
els as Beautiful Betsy, the Belle OF
the Brassworks; or, The Baronet'a
Bride"
Of course this made her feel that she
had married beneath her, for her hus,
band had not grown round shouldered
from wearing heavy medals.
Occasionally she would tell him that
she wished he was a hero.
Once the foolish man told her that he
would be a hero if he had a chance.
You would?" she said in tones of
incredulity. Did you ever do any
thing in your life that looked like brav-
cry or that seemed valorous in after
years?"
He thought of the day when they
played Mendelssohn's wedding
March" and be gave the minister $40
and she became his wife.
But he didn't say anything about it.
For a true hero never talks about his
glorious, daring deeds.
So she never knew that her husband
was a hero.
Isn't it a sad, sad story?-Baltimore

Courage.

That was a magnificent feat per.
formed by a French regiment when
they were fighting the Austrians. II
happened a long time ago, but the Incl.
dent was marked by such superlative
valor that it will never be forgotten.
The regiment, under Colonel Walhu,
bert, was sent to take an intrenchment
Simplon pass. Arriving at the point,
they found the enemy solidly intrench-
ed in what appeared to be an impreg-
nable position. In front of their re-
doubts and quite separating them from
the French force was a deep chasm
through which ran a mountain torrent.
How to get across was a problem
seemingly impossible to solve. But the
colonel vas equal to it. He found a
long, straight tree with a trunk almost
a foot in thickness. This he ordered
to be cut down, and the trunk was ac-
tually thrust acros the chasm under a
CALLING fire. The colonel gave the word
to pass Overcome man at a time.
The first was shot and pitched down
to death in the chasm. The second and
third shared his fate, but presently a
few succeeded in the desperate at
tempt. Then the colonel followed,
formed the little party on the other
side and charged. The enemy, dunn
founded at such extraordinary brav-
cry, left their position and fed.-Cas.
