WHAT GRIT CAN DO.
We use the word “grit" because
it so fully expresses the idea that
we have in mind; namely, an un
yielding and unconquering spirit
that takes firm hold of those things
most difficult to perform, and in the
face of the greatest odds works on
.and on till success is achieved. This
spirit is necessary to all who would
attain to anything worth while, and
especially to those who, by reason
of untoward conditions, are obliged
to fight life’s battles single-handed
and alone.
The following story illustrates
our point:
Over in Scotland there once lived
a stout, tall, busy youth who was
known among his neighbors as the
“grit bare-legged laddie.’’ One
day he called upon the village
schoolmaster and said. “1 wish to
attend your evening school.”
“And what would you wish to
study if you came?”
“I want to learn to road and to
write.”
The master looked into the lad's
fare, shrugged his shoulders in a
knowing way, and said. " Very well,
you may eotnu."
The lad eould not see into the
future, nor had he any dreams of
greatness. He had only a great
desire to know, lie was eighteen
years old then, and eould neither
read nor write: hut before* he died
he wrote his name among the great
and honored men of the earth. He
was George Stephenson, and be
came the great railroad engineer.—

KISS THE DEAR
OLD MOTHER
Kiss the dear old mother; her cheek
ks wan and wasted;
Feeble are the footsteps that once
were gay;
Many a hitter cup of sorrow she
has tasted.
Borne unnumbered trials since
her wedding-day.
Think of all the hours that she is
sad and lonely,
All her vanished pleasures living
o’er again;
Cheerful and eontentrd will she bo
if you will only
Kiss the dear old mother now
and then.
When by fame or fortune you are
proudly knighted,
Let the dear old mother enter in
your joy;
See tin* aged pilgrim trembling and
delighted,
At the world’s opinion of her boy
Think of all you owe her; seek to
give her pleasure
Spite of cruel sneers from cold
and careless men;
While within your keeping you
hold this precious treasure,
Kiss the dear old mother now and
then. —Selected.
Courtesies of the Match.
Vnere were the usual courtesies ns
to precedence In the use of the match.
"It’s very English," said the man In
the cerner. “In Scandinavia you can
tell the nationality of a man by the
way he lights his cignrette. A Swede
strikes a match, usee 14 and throws It
away. A Dane uses the match first
and then effers It to yen. The Norwe
gian strikes a match, offers It to Ms
coropaoloa wad uses the fag-end him
self.” —London Chronicle.
Early- Day Buttons.
The ancients lacked buttons—one
wonders. Indeed, how they got along
without them, but evidently they pos
sessed studs of modern pattern, such
as those with which we fasten our
cuffs and collars. And, in truth, the/
did even have a kind of button (though
not sewn on), which fastened gar
ments with a pin and hook exactly In
the wy our broaches and clasp pins
