ASLEEP ON THE TRACK. A little child, tired of play, had pillowed his head on a railroad track and fallen asleep. The train was almost upon him when a passing stranger rushed forward and saved him from a horrible death. Perlmns you are asleep on tho track, too. You ure, if you are neglecting tho hacking cough, the hectic llush, the loss of appetite, growing weakness and lassitude, which have unconsciously crept upon* you. Wake up, or the train will be upon you I Consumption, which thus insiduously fastens its hold upon its victims while they are un conscious of its approach, must be taken in time, if it is to be overcome. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has cured thou sands of cases of this most futnl of maladies. If taken in time, and given a fair triaj. it Is guaranteed to benefit; or cure in every ease of Consumption, or money paid for it will be & Spitting of mood. Short- ness of Breath, Bronchitis, Asthma, Severe Coughs, and kindred affections, It is an effi cient remedy. Copyright, 1SS3. l«y \Yokld\s Bis. Med. Ass'n. REWARD Genius Allied to Melancholy. From the Courier-Journnl. The jokes of Abraham Liucoln, not less than his bight, his angularity, his patience, peristeuce aud. self restraint are a part of the personalty he im pressed upon his own generation and the one to follow. With the humor ous trait in his nature well developed we can scarcely think of him other than as one who took the optimistic view of life aud humanity, and pre served through the utmost danger and the sharpest doubts an abiding faitli in the future. But the recent reve lations of associates and biographers have shattered all such popular ideas of the Great Emancipations. We now know that his mind in manhood was prone to melancholy ; his dry humor was the cloak for his true thoughts and feelings, an emanation of the surface only. Behind the jest, care, doubt and despair fought against courage, resolution and per severance. Perhaps we may safely say that the mind of every great man is shadowed by melancholy. Greatness is not an easy triumph ; toil, suffering and fear darken the path which leads to fame ; the final victory scarce compensates for that which was endured in achieving it; the recollection of early trial sad dens and softens later success ; often the most ardent spirit would hesitate and turn back were it not for the con sumiug desire to excel which impels the toiler onward and never permits his weary brain to more tbau briefly flag in its task. Melancholy is not pessimism. The pessimists arc those who havc'never striven and succeeded. A touch of sadness tinges the minds of the greatest, the wisest and the best. Truly great men are Tare. Extra ordinary combinations of circum stances alone produces them; there must be a meeting of the man and the. event; both the mind and the occasion must be ready, aud when the time comes, the great soul, taught patience, courage and sagacity, leaps to its opportunity and the flood of enthusiasm and ardor overwhelms all obstacles; without the severe discip line of waiting it could not have suc ceeded, but in the hour of triumph the melancholy of past failure caunot wholly. d : sanpear. Perhaps it is best that great men should be subject to melancholy. The recollection of their owu disap pointments gives them more sympa thy for human suffering, and they can judge, with tenderness, our follies and! _ _ _ qur frailties.

Two fundamental psychological elements to he always studied among any people arc character and intelli gence. Character is infinitely more important to the success of au indi vidual or a race than intelligence. Rome, in her decline, certainly pos sessed more superior minds than the Rome of the earlier ages ot the re public. Brilliant artists, eloquent rhetoricians, aud graceful writers ap peared then by the hundred. But she was lacking in men of manly and energetic character, who may perhaps have been careless of the refinements of art, but were very careful of the power of the city whose grandeur they had founded. When it had lost all of these, Rome had to give way to people much less intelligent hut more energetic. The conquest of thejm- cient, refined and lettered Gneco- Latin world by tribes of semi-barbar ous Arabs constitutes auother exam ple of the tame kind. History is full of Buch.—G.
