Rob TOOmbs' Way.

General Robert Toombs was as i'm
pulsive as he was courageous. Once, In
the midst Of a hot political campaign, a
stump orator said something about the
generals arrest by Robert y. Lee for
INSTRUMENTATION, frightfully. distorting
the incident. Toombs wrote one Of the
hottest letters of his life and was about
to seal it when q friend entered his Of
fee and, seeing him much agitated, in
quired the cause. The letter was hand
ed to him to read, and when he had
finished it he remarked, "You don't in
tend to send that to him" II do" said
Toombs. Better wait till tomorrow
and think it over, general" "Never,
sir! have known him to be liar, a
blackguard and thief all his life, but
never before had cause to tell him so.
The opportunity is now offered, and I
wouldn't miss it for the senatorship.
Wait till tomorrow? Think 1t overi
That is to throw away the chance of q
lifetime. Strike while the iron is hot,

Although the Pacific covers more
than half the surface of the globe and
has an area estimated roughly at co.
100000 square miles, yet it's coast line,
even including that of the Indian
ocean, is but 1900 miles, or about
5000 miles less than that of the At
lantic. The shores OF the Atlantic are
very deeply indented by large seas. Of
which the Baltic and Mediterranean
are the most remarkable. Besides
these, the greatest lateral seas and
CULTS in the Atlantic are the gulf OF
Mexico, Caribbean sea, Hudson bay
and the bay of Biscay. If we take
from the Pacific the Red sea. Arabian
sea and bay of Bengal, which are part
of the Indian ocean, we leave it with
a remarkably straight coast line, With
the exception Of few deep indenta-
lions on the coast of Asia.
1t is owing to q free Improvisation
Of land and water and consequent ease
Of communication between one country
and another that the most civilized ma
lions of the world, with few excep-
lions, have lived and now live on the
shores of the north Atlantic and its
lateral seas.

Have you no aim in life? Then get
one. Study over what it shall be-
think, and think deeply. Pray that
you may have an understanding Of
your work in the world, that you may

knowledge may come to you Of how
to build highway to it. The materi-

highway lie right at hand They are
not to your liking perhaps-you may
call them trouble and bad luck-but
just shut your teeth together, shut
your eyes, too, If necessary, and hold
your breath. Then get good grip on
the situation, and then work with It.

GRANTS SYMPATHY.

Tribute of a Southern Woman to the
Generals Kindly Nature.
The sympathetic side of General
was very strong. A few days after
the surrender Of Vicksburg southern
lady hurried to his quarters to ask for
information about her husband, Of
whose safety she had heard conflict
ing reports. The general replied that
he could not give her the information
she desired, but that he would send
an orderly at once to find out the facts
for her. When the man returned with
the news that her husband was safe
the southern woman's eyes filed with
tears Of gratitude, while tears of SYM
patty showed on the cheeks of Gener-
al Grant. On another occasion-it was
years after-at banquet in Vicksburg
given him when he was making tour
Of the southern states one was heard
expressing her gratitude to him for
past kindnesses. AS he replied to her
two tears rolled slowly down his
cheeks.
General Grant showed special sympa-
thy. Many who were small foes in
those days remembered his way Of
drawing them to him and impressing
q kiss on cheek or brow.
One old lady who afflicted her
friends by her propensity for smok-
ing was often the recipient of a good
cigar from him. The gift was fully
appreciated, as the generals stock was
always of the best. When he was i'll
in Washington she sent him some wild
flowers "from the hills of Vicksburg,"
for which q letter of thanks was
promptly returned. subsequently,
when she visited Washington, she was
kindly received by the president, who,
to her delight, presented her with some
more Of his good cigars.-Helen Gray
