Delicate Generosity.

One Of the many stories Of Grant
which grip the hearts and minds OF
the people was once told by General
Simon r. Buckner at q meeting OF
Confederate veterans.
Grant and I were chums at West
Point" began General Buckner. Il
had befriended him at one time. and 1t
can Justly be said Of him that he never
forgot q kindness. After the Union
victories at Henry and Donelson | met
Grant on the boat at the surrender,
and he followed me when / went to
headquarters. He left the officers OF
his own army and followed me with
that modest manner peculiar to him
into the shadow and there rendered me
his purse-pressed 1t into my hand
without word.
at seemed to me-" concluded Cen
eral Buckner, that In the marvellous
modesty Of his nature he was afraid
the light would witness that act Of
generosity and sought to hide 1t from
the world, almost from his own soul"

That day Phelps mamma had nc
roses on her table al. dinner. Her
heart was so full Of Joy over Phelps
desire to do something for his teacher
that she gave him the whole bunch
and dropped tear among its beantL
full petals. The recollection of his
bitterness toward his teacher the
year before, and all the sorrow it had
caused her, made this first sign of
affection an important matter.
When Phelps gave the teacher
the roses, she buried her face
among the buds and blossoms and
drank in their sweet perfume with
delight. Then she kissed him
with such warmth of affection that
his little face glowed with the
pleasure of it, All that. day at
school Phelps could see her fresh
sweet face smiling through creamy
roses at him, and his heart filled
with love and a smile of content
ment spread over his countenance.

abused. l may have done you an in
justice in my thoughts, but from the
first day | saw that he lacked conf
dence In me. Each day | studied
his habits, and could see that he
always expected me to wage war
againt him. He seemed to want me
to and would do things to provoke
trouble between us. / wondered If
it were because you had not under

unwisely, or whether perhaps you or
your wiie-pardon me, do not mean

In my experience have had to over
come the prejudice of parents before
| could get the confidence of the
pupils, and 1 assure you it has been
very hard sometimes. But in Phelps
case he and l are now on a peace
footing and everything seems to be
perfectly satisfactory l anticipate
no trouble at all. ;"
Phelps papa thanked her heartily
for the interest she had taken in his
son, and assured her that she had
his entire confidence, and also that
Phelps trouble began with his first
teacher the year before and not at
home. The other insinuation that
perhaps something had been said at
home to lessen the chlld's confidence
in the teacher, Phelps papa let pass
without comment. He had heard
his wife make such remarks, but he
did not know whether Phelps heard
them.
The next week passed without
ripple of excitement In Phelps home.
He went to school without being
-sriven- and his mamma began to feel
thankful, The first outward express
sion Of affection Phelps showed for
his teacher was during his third
week at school. His mamma was to
have company for dinner one day and
she had ordered bouquet of roses
for the table. Phelps looked at
them longlnglyfor some time. This
being a rather unusual thing for him
to do attracted his mammals atten-
tion.
"What is it Phelps?" she asked.
He hung his head and seemed en-
bSfassed. 50 TO help him OUT his

"Those are beautiful roses, aren't
they, Phelpsp,'
