"TelI Me Their Names" He Said.

gun the day we took the Java-asked
about dear old David Porter, as he
called him. Then he settled down
more quietly, and very happily, to hear
me tell in an hour the history of fifty
years.
How I wished it had been some
body who knew something! But I
did as we'll as I could. I told him Of
the English war. told him about Full
ton and the steamboat beginning.
told him about old Scott and Jackson
told him all I could think about the
Mississippi, and New Orleans. and
Texas, and his own old Kentucky.
And do you know he asked who was
in command Of the Legion of the
West? told him it was q very gal
liant officer named Grant, and that by
our last news, he was about to estab-
fish his headquarters at Vickshurg.
Then, Where was VicksburgT I
worked that out on the map; it was
about hundred miles, more or less,
above his old Fort Adams; and l
thought Fort Adams must be q ruin
now. 1T must be at old Vick's plan
tation,' said he; well, that is
change!
Il tell you, Ingham, it was hard
thing to condense the history Of half
century into that talk with sick
man. And I do not know what l told
him-of emigration, and the means Of
it-of steamboats, and railroads and
telegraphs-of inventions and books
and literature-of the colleges and
West Point and the Naval school,
but with the queerest Interruptions
that ever you heard. You see it was
Robinson Crusoe asking all the accu-
mulated questions of fifty-six years.
II remember he asked, all of a sud-
den, who was president now; and
when told him, he asked if Old Abe
was Gen. Benjamin Lincoln's son. He
said he met old General Lincoln, when
he was quite boy himself, at some
Indian treaty. said no, that Old Abe
was Kentuckian like himself, but I
could not tell him Of what family; he
had worked up from the ranks. Good
for him. cried Nolan; 4 am glad of
that. AS I have brooded and Won
dered, I have thought our danger was
in keeping up those regular success
sions in the first families Then I
got talking about my visit to WASH
ington. told him of meeting the Ore
gon congressman, Harding; told him
about Smithsonian and the exploring
expedition; I told him about the capt.
tOl-and the statues for the pediment
and Crawfords Liberty and
Greenough's Washington: Ingham,
told him everything I could think of
that would show the grandeur of his
country and it's prosperity.
"And he drank it in, and enjoyed it
as I cannot tell you. he grew more
and more silent, yet I never thought
he was tired or faint. l gave him a
glass Of water, but he just wet his lips,
and told me not to go away. Then he
asked me to bring the Presbyterian
Book of Public Prayer which lay
there, and said, with smile, that it
would open at the right place-and so
1t did. There was his double red
mark down the page; knelt down
and read, and he repeated with me,
For ourselves and our country, O gra-
cious God, we thank thee, that, not
withstanding our manifold transgres-
sions Of thy holy laws, thou hast con-
Hnued to us thy marvellous Kindness

suggestions implanted might take root.
He nodded a thoughtful adieu to his
relative and sat down alone to cogi-

letter from Mary and small bundle.
The former expressed the delight her
long-anticipated visit had brought to

his face softened as he realized how
many Flooding hours his wife had de-

they took to their depths dreamy

TAKE TIME TO LIVE RIGHT.

The season for good resolutions is
approaching. Thousands are resolv-
ing to begin the New Year by COM
mencing some effort at self-improve-
ment.
Most people suffer from poor health
because they say "they haven't time
to take care Of themselves"
The business man knows he needs
exercise, but denies himself because
he hasn't time.
Most people run their lives in sucn
slipshod fashion that they haven't
time to eat properly, to think proper
ly, and to- rest properly.
And the result is that they die ahead
of time because they haven't had time
to live properly.
