Birth of the Navy
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY

II 7 was 1871 years ago that the old
continental congress author
lied the equipment of couple
Of cruisers mounting. respectively,
ten and fourteen guns-and it was
in that very modest bill that the
American navy had it's birth.
At first the growth Of the navy
was distressingly slow. There was
a doleful lack Of efficient material
at home and our agents We're I'M
able to enlist the active sympathies
of foreign nations. There was, Of
course, a good reason for this
those nations did not want US to
have navy. They had a sort of
premonition that the embryonic re
public might make trouble for them
if it should succeed in getting its
guns on the brine,
But in the midst OF our troubles
something happened that put new
face on the situation at once. Paul
Jones won his brilliant victory off
Marlborough Head, and the YAM
kee navy experienced the boom"
that is felt to this day. The eXulta-
ton born Of that victory went
through the nascent nation with a
thrill and a buzz. and # was al
ready written down that America
was sooner or later to become a
sea power.
The little navy provided by the
continental congress was about

George. and from 1850 to l7S5 we

At the breaking out of the war
of 1872 our navy consisted of say-
enteen seagoing ships, nine Of them
being below the frigate class. and
a few gunboats designed for coast
defense, Yet, as all the world
knows, this little navy behaved
splendidly in its contest with the
greatest sea power in the world
and at the close OF the war the
greatest sea power in the world"
had for our navy Astounding re-
spect.
After We had settled our dispute
with Great Britain upon the hign
seas, our navy, having nothing in
particular to do, went into decline,
where it remained until the broth
ers' war of '61-'G5. At the begir
ming Of that war the United States
navy consisted of but IS vessels
of all kinds, with a roll OF enlisted
men of some $4,000. while at the
close Of the struggle there were
over 500 vessels. with over $1,000
officers and men.

study habit Study vour work and
improve it. Study your chances and
improve them.
Every hour YOU loaf. when you
do not need to, is so much less
mental and financial fortune.
The greatest tragedy of the day
is not the bad man or the bad
woman. They have always been.
and probably always will be. But
it is the half-trained men and
women, the person who can do
nothing well enough to make the
work a valuable service.
But the moment one, can do any
thing up to the top notch. then the
service is worth something. and
people are willing to pay for it.
III
The secret of fortune building is
not to give the thought wholly to
money. A man who is everlasting
ly trying to improve himself will
get d fortune, or as much fortune
as he wants.

Agreeability
1t Is a Wonderful Asset and It's
First Requisite Is Glowing
Physical Health; Its Second
Ingredient Is Honesty and Its
Third Is Good Will.
Bv EBERT HUBBARD
Copyright, 1872, by international News Service

~ GORGE PEABODY. the great
American banker, had one
thing which will make any
man or woman rich. 1t is some
thing 80 sweetly benefcent that
we'll can we. call it the gift of the
gods.
The asset TO which l refer is
Agreeability.
It's first requisite is glowing
physical health. The second in
gredient is honesty. It's third is
good will.
Nothing taints the breath like a
lie. The old parental plan of wash
ing the boys mouth out with soft
soap had a scientific basis.
Must Have Good Memories.
Liars must possess good memo
ries. They are fettered and gyved
by what they have said and done.
The honest man is free-his acts
require neither explanation nor
apology. He is in possession of all
his armament.
If | were president Of a college,
| would have chair devoted to
Agreeability. Ponderosity, pro-
fundity and insipidity may have
their place, but the agreeable man
keeps his capital active. His soul
is fluid.
| have never been in possession
of this Social ~Radium, so as to
analyze it, but I know it has the
power of dissolving opposition and
melting human hearts. But so del
icate and Elusive is it that when
used for purely sordid purpose
it evaporates into thin air, and the
erstwhile possessor is left with only
the mask of beauty and the husk
of personality.
George Peabody had Agreed bility
from his nineteenth year to the
day of his death. Colonel Forney
crossed the Atlantic with him when
Peabody was in his seventy-first
year, and here is what Forney
says
Il sat on one side Of the cabin
and he on the other, He was read
ing from a book, which he finally
merely held in his hands, as he sat
idly dreaming, I was melted into
tears by the sight Of his Jove-like
head framed against the window.
His face and features beamed with
high and noble intellect, and his
eyes looked forth in divine love. If
ever soul revealed itself in the face,

it was here. He was the very King
of Men, and l did not wonder that
in the past people had worked the
apotheosis of such"
Cultivate This Asset.
To the clerk who would succeed.
l say cultivate Agreeability. Cour-
teous manners in little things are
an asset worth requiring. You
rise when a customer approaches:
you offer a chair; you step aside
and let the stores guest pass first
into the elevator; these are little
things, but they make your work
and yourself finer.
To guy visitors or to give short.
fiippant answers even to stupid or
impudent people is a great mis-
take. Meet rudeness with unfaiI
ing patience and politeness and see
how much better you feel.
If your business is to wait on
customers, be careful Of your dress
and appearance. Do your manicur-
ing before you reach the store
Dental floss is a good investment.
A salesman with a bad breath is
dear at any price. Let your dress
be quiet, neat and not too fashion
able. To have a good appearance
helps you inwardly and helps the
business.
Give each customer your whole
attention-and Just as considerate
attention to a little buyer as big
one. II asked for information, be
sure you have 1t before you give IT,
Do not assume that the location or
fact is so now because you once
knew it so. Don't misdirect. Make
your directions so clear that they
will be a real help.
The Greater Your Reward.
The less you require looking aft
er, the more able you are to stand
alone and complete your tasks the
greater your reward. Then if YOU
can not only do your work. but
also intelligently and effectively d.
rect the efforts of others, your re-
ward is in an exact ratio; and the
more people you direct, and the
higher the intelligence you can
rightly lend, the more valuable is
your life,
The most precious possession in
life is good health. Eat moderate
~ breathe deeply, exercise out Of
doors and get eight hours sleep.
And cultivate Agreeability as
business proposition.

Poor Mrs. Black! a hundred pairs

amused and could hardly keep from
laughing aloud
AS Frances passed by the Hamil-
tons pew in her promenade down the
aisle, Mrs. Hamilton leaned across her
| husband and made an attempt to
clutch Lima; but she was too late;
already. that dignifed little orphan
was gliding with stately, conscious
| tread to join the others. This was too
much for the audience. A few boys
laughed out and for the first time
the preachers suspicious were
aroused. AS he clasped Lina's slender,
graceful little hand he asked:
"And you have no father or mother,
little girl?"
Eyes, l have, too,' she angrily re-

said Lima. you always get things

and the answer is, He had a little dog

"No, you goose, hangman should

Walking gracefully and jauntily up
the aisle to the spot where the lee
turer was standing by broad table,
he held out his slim, little hand
Jimmy looked at these proceedings
of Billy" in astonishment, not com
pretending at all. He was rather IN
dignant that the older boy had
ticipation.
But Jimmy was not the one to sit
calmly by and be ignored when there
was anything doing, SO he slid aWk-
wardly from the bench before MISS
Minerva knew what he was up to.
Signaling Frances to follow, he swag-
gered pomDously behind Billy and he,
too, held out a short, fat hand to the
minister
The speaker smiled benignly down
upon them; lifting them up In his
arms he stood the little boys upon
the table. He thought the touching
sight Of these innocent and tender
little orphans would empty the pock-
cts Of the audience Billy turned red
with embarrassment at his consplcu-
Gus position, while Jimmy grinned
happily at the amused congregation.
Horrifed Miss Minerva half rose to
her feet, but decided to remain where
she was. She was timid woman
and did not know what course she
ought to pursue. Besides, she had
just caught the. Majors smile.
"And how long have you been an
orphan?" the preacher was asking of
Billy.
