General Jackson's Way.

When General Jackson returned to
Washington after the Seminole war
his first act was to send for a fash
ionable tailor of the name of Ballard
to make him a pair Of breeches. Bal
lard was very fond of being recog-
nized by great men who had been bis
customers. A few days after he had
finished Jackson's garment he saw
the General c~onversing with a COM
pany Of friends in front of Tensions
Hotel and stepped up pompously to
speak to him. Jackson, thinking him
some distinguished individual, very
cordially gave him his hand, but, not
remembering him, in a whisper in
CURED his name, to which Ballard re-
piled: Il made your b~reeches." The
General, deceived by the sound, i'm
mediately turned to the company and
introduced him as Major Breaches, a
title which poor Ballard was after
ward obliged to to the day Of
his death.-New York Press.

After Succeeding.

There is no test Of character quite
SO severe as that of success. Adver-
sity is hard on a man; but success is
ten times harder. Adversely, or
downright failure, challenges all the
best that there is in one to rise up
and conquer in spite Of defeat. Sue
cess brings a challenge, too-tc go
ard improve upon the success already
won; but it is harder to respond to
this challenge. IF at first you do
succeed" Is the title of a sermon an
nounced by that vigorous pastor and
preacher, DR.. Ernest Bourner Allen,
of Toledo, in a winter course to his
junior congregation. The message is
needed. More people are succeeding
to-day, and in more different lines,
than yer before. It takes strength
to succeed; and that very strength,
evidenced and developed by the sue
less in which it proved itself, ought
to be tolerant of past and present
achievement, and to press OF to big
ger and better things. Unless it does,
success marks the beginning Of
failure Sunday-School Times.

THE ACHING SPOT.

1 cannot surely. tell if this be so,
But truer e'er to me it seems to grow,
That every life holds hid SOM aching
Which will not heal, however time may 60
I do not know how soon it strikes the
heart, ...
The bitter. singing pain that, leaves thii
smart; ,''
I only know, it clings through wear,
years,
All swift to come and sluggish to depart.
Not merely through the measure Of de
light,
The merry madness Of a festal night,
There comes the slow, dull pain of sobe'
Until the world seems wrong and lacking
quite.
But even mid the holy, things Of al,
Where solemn music beats the eGothlt
Full half the prayers of priests. apostles
saints,
Are bitter walls of grief that rise and fall
The little novice in her strange, cramped
lot, 80 p
The older nun, who long ago forgot
The big broad world in narrow convent
White veil and black, they hide an aching
spot!
All, me! I wonder if the white clad throns
That walk the upper, golden streets along
Feel that vague want and droop, UNI
satisfied
With Gods great lilies and the ceaseless
song?
And yet. they tell me sorrow there is not,
That pain is swept away, and every blot;
Then. when we climb the shimmerins
steep of Heaven,
God pity. us, and heal the aching snot!

The Price of Drink.

1t is not so much the money that
drunkenness wastes as the misery 1t
produces, the domestic, temporal; and
eternal misery, which most of all ap-
pals US. AS to the expense Of this
vice, great as it is, that we least de-
plore; for the loss Of money, we hate
it least. On the contrary, we should
be content were the money and the
vice to perish together. We should
be content to pay that hundred mil
lions as yearly tribute, would this
enemy to God and man, this foe to
our peace and piety, leave these
shores.
We wish to keep, and, were 1t pos
sible, to get back, something far
more precious than money. Give that
mother back her son as he was on the
day when he returned from his IA
theirs grave, and in all the affection
Of his interrupted boyhood walked
to the house of God with a widowed
weeping woman leaning on his arm.
Give that grieved man back his
brother as innocent and happy as in
those days when the boys, twined in
each. others arms, returned from
school, bent over the same Bible,
slept in the same bed, and never
thought that the day would come
when. brother should blush for broth
er. Give this weeping wife, who site
before US wringing her hands in
agony-the tears dripping through
her jeweled fingers, and the lines Of
sorrow prematurely drawn on her
beautiful ,brow-give her back the
man she loved, such as he was when
her young heart was won, when they
stood side by side on the nuptial day,
and, receiving her from a fond IA
theirs hands, he promised his love to
one whose heart he has broken, and
whose once graceful form now bends
with sorrow to the ground. Give me
back, as a man, the friends of my
youthful days, whose wrecks now lie
thick on this wreck-strewn shore!
Relieve us of the fears that lie
heavy on our hearts for the character
and the souls of some who hold par.
ley with the Devil by this forbidden
tree, and are floating on the outer
edge Of that great gulf-stream which
sweeps its victims EDWARDS to most
woeful ruin. Could this be done, we
would not talk of money. The hun
dred millions which drink costs this
land is not to be weighed or even
mentioned with this. Hearts are
broken which no money can heal.

In Good Company,

The mathematician Is a walker.
Walking seems to be necessary to
him to set his thought in motion, and
during his ORGANIZATIONS certain
mechanical movements of the fingers
appear to be the indispensable ad-
juncts of an intellectual labor which
renders him Indifferent to the outer
world. One Gay. as you we're out
walking, you suddenly noticed that
you were carrying N your hand a
wicker cage. You were immensely
surprised. Where, when, and how
had you picked up that cage, which
vas a new one, and happily, quite
empty? You had no recollection of
it whatever, and you went back until
you found on the pavement the stock
of the basket-maker whom you had
i%nnocently pillaged. You are accus-
toned to such distractions as these.

COUNTRY DRIVE IN RUSSIA.
Speed Proportionate to Price Paid
"Through Village Roads.

The Russian popular idea of driv-
ing horses is to fog them along mile
after mile without a moments breath
ing space. The speed is proportion
ate, within limits, to the price paid,
but the horses are never at any
speed allowed to slacken.
The high road to Ruza runs in a
series Of ups and downs like an. end
less "switchback," yet the "jamshik"
(driver) never once allowed his
horses to rush the last of a declivity
to carry them up the next rise, but
kept the pace steady up hill or down,
a regular rate of one verst in five
minutes. We insisted several times
on giving the poor brutes a few yards
at a walk, but at last had to acQui-
esce in the custom Of the country,
with the result that at Ruza it seemed
better to take another team for the
remaining four miles across country,
The way now lay " what are
called through village" roads,
These are simply a tract of Mother
Earth bounded on one, sometimes on
both sides by a rough ditch, and only
otherwise differentiated from the
surrounding arabic land by the sur
face being cut up by wheels instead
Of plows - and the Russian pillow
hardly cuts a deeper furrow in the
fields than wheeled traffic on such a
road"
In order properly to understand
some of the conditions of rural life in
Russia it is necessary to travel in the
simplest manner of the native; our
impressions of the same road when
we returned behind a pair of fine
horses in a properly balanced car-
rage with a suficiency of springs
were wholly misleading, If more en-
ioyable.-London Standard.

CHAPTER <.

Janet went upon no more expedi-
lions with Tom. His lie struck her
like a shot going through all her de-
lenses. She had almost lied for him,
according to Charlie Blackmore's in
5tructions; lied, or at least suppressed
the truth, giving her mother to un-
derstand that there was no purpose
at all in their ride, but only that they
mad gone too far-to save him, that
he be not blamed. But when Tom
arrived with his lie all ready, in
which there was no hesitation, Janet,
standing aghast looking on, too much
startled to contradict him or say a
word, felt as if he had suddenly
landed a blow at her, flung an arrow
like the savages she had read Of
which went through and through,
cutting not only to her heart, but to
the last refuge of her intelligence
b recesses Of her not too lively
brain. 1t was not only pain, but a
painful desire to understand, which
moved her. Why did he do it? What
did he mean by it? 1t seemed almost
impossible to believe that it was only
the familiar childish effort to clear
himself by blaming her: Its Janet
its not me-" She had said herself
in the nursery days, Its not me
it's Tom," in the sudden shock of a
fault found out. Was that all he
meant, or was it something more?
Toms explanation afterward did not
mend matters.
we'll" he said, at vas you-you
know you wanted to see the mare.
told you you wasn't game for it, but
you swore you were. And whose
fault was it but yours for breaking
down and letting it all out?-spoiling
my fun in every way. For the Black
mores are as proud as the devil"
Don't speak like that, cried Janet,
with a shudder.
They are, though, just as proud as
the devil, though they're nothing but
horse-coupers. / knew I was done for
when I said that I had given my
word. The old mar fired up like a
rocket, and I'll never be able to 60
there any more-which is all your
fault"
But. Tom, if you gave your
word"
Don't be silly" cried Tom; that's
not like giving your honor between
you and another man. What's Beau?
He's like n of the masters in school.
They know you don't mean it: they
know you'll get out of it if you can,
and they're always on the watch. Not
the least like another fellow of your
W sort that you give your honor to.
Of course l should keep that. But
mother or Bean are quite different.
You're forced to do that, and they
know you lever mean to keen it all
the time"
This reasoning silenced Janet,
though it did not convince her. She
did not know what reply to make. A
boys code Of honor was a thing she
did not understand, and she had al
ways beer accustomed to serious dis
crepancies between his ideas of what
