Gen. Cassius NJ. Clay.

The story of Gen. Cassius Marcellus
Clay's career Us a poineer abolitionist
in kentucky, while it has its remark
able affiliations with Kentucky life
today, nevertheless does mark a dis
tirct difference in what wins public
honor in public man, even in Ken
tucky, to-day. The only representa-
tive of the fighting politician at pres
ent is the ex-governor who does not
dare come home and "face the music"
for the murder of his opponent. But
Clay was fighter of the most savage
and bloody sort. The record of his
duels as narrated by himself is almost
incredible. The bowie-knife was his
weapon, and he cut to pieces his ad-
versares, so that they came into court
If, indeed they survived, which was
not so common, n,-mere slashed rem
nants Of humanity. 1t needed blood
and steel to keep the anti-slavery flag
flying in the dark and bloody ground,
and it is probable that less remarka-
BILE plification Of the strenuous
life would not have brought about the
result which Clay did bring about
the formation of an anti-siavery SEN
timent in the state which largely con-
tributed to keeping it in the Union at
the time of the shareholders rebellion.
1t is horrid story, none the less
The title of "General" was given to
Mr.. Clay in that war, when he was
recalled from Russia by an ap-
pointment to be major-general of vol
unteers. He declined, because, he
said, slavery had not been abolished
in the whole South, and was sent back
to Russia, where he remained in all
eight years. He always maintained
that to him, and not to w. H. Sc
ward, was due the idea of the pur-
chase of Alaska; it was, he averred,
the result of bis representations while
minister at st. Petersburg. An eX.
traordinary character of past era, OF
the age when the bowie-knife was an
adjunct of the high public standing
and the duel was honorable, he has
not left his like behind.

Reflections of an Old Maid.

"When poverty comes in st the door, love
flies ont OF the window" 10 out Of date. Pow
erty now comes In at the window while the
man and his wife, leaving love behind, go
out OF the door leading to the divorce court.
Married folks often wish they hadn't mar
ried, but for the sake OF their future happi-
ness don't dare say 30.
Often when parents are assisting at q
church fair for the benefit OF foreign missions,
their children at home In care OF q negro
nurse are in need Of home missionary.
1t takes little effeminate man to see his
wifes duty to himself much more plainly
than he sees his own duty TO his wife.
It's as hard for an old maid to think a
married woman happy as 1t is for married
woman to believe on old maid happy.
It is better to be the wife OF poor man than
the wife Of o rich man who won't spend bis
money. It Is best TO be neither.
She is a wise girl who profits by the ex-
perience OF her elder sisters.
The difference between bachelor maid"
and an "old maid" is that the one has had q
chance to get married and the other has not.
When girl is at college she had better pre-
pare for two careers-the one she would like
10 follow and matrimony.
Some men may enjoy the man who sits on
the porch reading his newspaper while his
wife carries slop to the hogs, but women
don't envy his wife.
Usually the man who doesn't tell his wife
anything about his business affairs is the
man who fails.

Charity of Speech.

Unkind words do as much harm as
unkind deeds. Many a.heart has been
wounded beyond cure, many reputa-
ton has been stabbed to death, by q
few little words.
There is a charity which consists in
Withholding words, in keeping back
harsh judgments, in abstaining from
speech, if to speak is to condemn.
Such charity hears the tale of slander,
but does not repeat it; listens in silence
and forbears comment; then locks the
unpleasant secret up in the very depths
of the heart. Silence can stir rumor
it is speech that keeps story alive
and lends it vigor.
1t is the kind and gentle heart that
charity abides with the peacefuln ess
of love. There it makes its home,
and by the word withheld and the
kindly words outspoken, we have the
sign of the dove Of peace nesting in
the heart. For kind words are like
"apples of gold in pictures of silver"
Fifty spoken, words fall like the
sunshine, the dew, and the summer
rain but, when unfitIy spoken, like
the frost, the hail. and the decending
tempest. Therefore by our words we
proclaim what we are.

Beautiful is the activity which
works for good and beautiful the still
ness which waits for good.
1t is sometimes a good thing to be in
a hurry, provided hurry is not allowed
to become furry.
Consider carefully before you say a
hard word to man, but never let a
chance to say good one 60 by.
No matter about a throne to sit on
make sure that your life is regal in
its own intrinsic character.
The race of life offers some hand
some prizes, and the only entrance fee
demanded is honest eXertion.

A Strange Nest.

Birds are no respecters of persons or
places they nuly look to safety and
will build their nests anywhere if they
think safety can he obtained. Nests
have been found in the smoke-stacks
of locomotives, in the war bonnet of
the Goddess of Liberty on top of the
Capitol in Washington, and in many
another unexpected place. But pro-
badly the strangest choice OF all was
that made by wren. at the home of
Dr. Fisher, of the Department of Agri-
culture in Washington.
Most boys know Jenny Wren-a
tiny little brown bird that makes its
way through unbelievably small knot
holes, usually into the sides of frame
houses, and builds, far inside, nests
often big enough TO fill a bushel bas-
ket, in which it lays four tiny spotted
eggs. Well, the particular wren in
question was fitting about DR.. Fishers
house one fine spring day, cooking for
Il place to build and finding none,
when she spied white object resting
on the Doctors chicken house.
Promptly she and her husband flew
to inspect it. They found it hard and
smooth, with two holes at one side
leading into the interior. Mrs. Wren
popped in to examine and found quite
a cavity, clean, dry, well protected
from the weather, and dark enough to
preserve her babies eyes from the glare
of the summer sun. So she and her
husband promptly set to work to build.
She did not know what the white
object was. How should she guess
that it was part of man, who had
once walked arourd just as they saw
Others walking around every day
How should she know that this par
ticular man had died on. the gallows
for as foul murder as was ever COM
mitted, and that his skuli-her home
had been put there to bleach before
being turned over to medical mus
cum for scientific measurement and
recording? How should she know
that che had entered through the eye
holes? Mrs. Wren didn't know these
things, and the chances are that she
wouldn't have cared if she had. But
the ph ysician, who had placed the
skull there, knew them, and thought
her choice of a resting place was cur
ious enough to be noted down.
So, after she had hatched and gone,
he took down the skull, cut the large
hole that now appears in its back, put
some other eggs there and turned the
whole over to the National Museum
to be photographed.

Letter TO &. p. Hammond.

Dear Sir: We suspect you'd like the tale,
how a woman beat two hardware dealers in
Girard, Pa.
We tried our best to get those men to sell
Dsvoe lead.and-zinc in that bright town and
failed: Reluctantly took Mrs. E. r. Bowman
druggist.
They said they couldn't sell paint for more
than Sl25 gallon. Mrs. Bowman can. She
has sold about all the paint. that has been
sold there since.
She knew Devoe; had sold our artists
materials. Had some sense and force, be-
sides she easily learned that cheap is dear
in paint, and told the people.
Mr.. Burt Young bought gallon Devoe fol
rooms that had always taken gallon had
half left.
Mr.. E. H. Hiler, jeweler. painted Devoe, and
says II goes further-no particulars.
Mr.. John Hanna, grocer, thought 1t expen-
Bive before he bought 1t brought back near
ly half Of his paint, and said 1t was the cheap
est job he ever had.
Mrs. Bowman reports universal satisfao.
tion. So much for a cheap-paint town with
bright woman in 1t.
