STONEHENGE.
The MonoIiths Discovered to Re 1000
Years Old

Tho MonoIiths Discovered to BE 1000
Years Old.
That gray, gray mystery, the world
known Stonehenge, has given up por-
ton of it's problem, viz, that which
referred to it's date. Many theories
have been on foot, and the Druids and
their worship have been connected
with it. One gentleman, Mr.. Fergu-
son, however, considered it to be more
modern than Druidical and British
times, and suggested that it was
monument to some great Saxon leader.
1t has. however, shown itself to be
ages older than Hengist and Horsa
days.
One of the great stones had fallen,
and has been set up again. In the
hole made in the earth by this opera
ton we find evidence of the enormous
antiquity of the temple, or whatever
it was. for there were discovered stone
implements mixed With metal ones
thus pointing to a vast antiquity
somewhere about the days when the
stone age was passing into that of a
bronze, date far older than history
and which gives to Stonelienge rec
ord of say, 1000 years before the time
| of our Lord, thus making the age OF
these weird monolith 4.0G0 years or so

he had time to think about amidst the
troublous times in 81.
During the campaign of 1860. while
Abraham Lincoln was in Springfield,
Ill, q youngster named George Patten
was introduced to him and shook him
nv the hand. Proud of his distinction.
George lost no chance of parading the
affair before his schoolmates, and Tor

dmportant parsonage. Gut gradually
his prestige faded. and several OF
Georges older companions openly
poohpoohed the story. This stigma
well-nigh broke his poyish heart, but
he WAS resourceful and resolved to OBJ
tain clear proof of his meeting with
the great man. So he wrote letter
to Washington, keeping silent the
while, and in course of month re-
ply came which read:

Grant Never Hesitated.

The life of Gen. Grant should be
read by every boy of the rising genera
ton. So many opportunities present
ed themselves for him to decide quick
ly between right and wrong, and he
never hesitated to choose the right.
One instance was at the time he was
a visitor at the French capital.
The president of the republic as a
special token of respect, invited Gen.
Grant to a place on the grand stand to
witness the great racing which oc-
ours in that country on Sunday. 1t is
considered a discourteous act to de-
cline such an invitation from the head
o.S.l.tef the republic. Such thing
had never been heard of. but Gen.
Grant, in a polite note, declined the
honor. and said to the French presi-
dent: "It is not in accordance with
the custom of my country or with the
spirit of my religion to spend Sunday
in that way" And when Sabbath
came that great hero found his way
to the American chapel, where he was
one of Its quiet worshipers.

RuIes of Behavior.

compiled a book of rules on behavior.
The following are some of them,
Every action in company ought to
be with some sign of respect to those
present.
Be no flatterer, neither play with
anyone that delights not to be played
with.
Let your discourse with men OF
business be short and comprehensive.
Undertake not to teach your equal
In the art himself processes; it savors
of arrogancy.
When you speak OF God or his attri-
butes let 1t be seriously, in reverence.
Honor and obey your natural parents,
though they be poor.
Undertake not what you cannot per-
form, but be careful to keep your
promise.
When q man does all he can, though
It succeeds not we'll, blame not him
that did it.
Associate yourselves with men OF
good quality. If you esteem your own
reputation, for 1t Is better to be alone
than in bad company
