Her class presented her with a fine pastel crayon in frame with easel. ID was a very enjoyable affair.

TWO TYPICAL AMERICANS.

Lincoln and Jackson, Who Were Both Men of the People. A writer whose essay on Lincoln and Washington was recently published repeats an assertion often made that Lincoln was the "first typical American" among our presidents. It is said that Washington represented the traditions and the habits of thought of a class abovo the rest in cultivation—an assertion that need not now be discussed.

It is certainly truo that Mr. Lincoln's life realized in a large measure the aspiration of tho masses of his countrymen. Ho was in his instincts a man of the 'plain people"—of tho people whose axes and rifles conquered the continent. He did not know this himself. It was always a delusion of his that he was a Whig—a member of tho "gentleman's party"—and as long as ho lived the facile, suave and elegant, though humbly born, Henry Clay was his model of the statesman. But his sympathies were never really with the Whigs. Ho was always drawn away from them toward that radical democracy of which Andrew Jackson was tho great exponent in America.

The same causes which produced Jackson made Lincoln. The west came into national politics with Jackson and at once revolutionized America. The regime of tho colonial gentlemen of Virginia and Massachusetts ended there and then, never to be revived. The attempt to re-establish it was mado repeatedly until another great revolution came with Lincoln.

Jackson was in every sense a man of tho people. Ho was Scotch-Irish—that is to say, Anglo-Saxon to the core. He had no "Norman blood." He was "Jack's-son," tho descendant of some Saxon serf of the fourteenth century who was not of enough importance to bo worth a patronymic. The humbleness of his origin and of his earlier years could not have been surpassed. Ho was a product of tho log cabin with puncheon floor and clapboard roof, and his sympathies, like Lincoln's, were always with the masses of "plain people."

The two men, so much alike in many things, were radically different in a point of vital importance. Jackson represented the military spirit in its extreme. Lincoln was a thorough civilian. In this respect ho is surpassed if at all only by Jefferson. The pride of military glory was hateful to Jefferson, whilo to Lincoln it was only ludicrous.

It is hard to guess now whether the futuro will rank tho son of the Kentucky peasant above the son of the Virginia yeoman. But it can hardly be said that Jefferson was tho typical American. Ho had exceptional advantages, which tako him out of tho class to which Lincoln and Jackson belong.

That class is not extinct iu America. It has Lincolns and Jacksons iu it still, waiting to bo developed by circumstances. And it is hard to tell which of tho two is tho more numerous.—Now iA World.

l&rion Crawford's Rapid Writing.

"I was told tho other day, "I said, "that you wrote 'Tho Three Fates' in seven days." "No," ho replied. "That would have Europe that packs of

been a physical impossibility. As a matter of fact, I was not very well and spent a wholo summer writing it from time to time. One of my stories, however, 'Marzio's Crucifix,' which is not a long novel, I wroto in ten days in its original form as it appeared serially. Afterward two chapters wero added for book publication. 'ThoTaloof a Lonely Parish' I wrote in 24 days—one chapter a day, of about 5,000 words. Both of those stories wero easy to write, because I was perfectly familiar with the background of each. I had once studied silver carving with a skilled workman, and tho idea suggested itself to mo to write a story about an atheist who should put his life and soul into the carving of a crucifix. With that for a motive, tho story wrote itself. In the case of 'The Lonely Parish,' I found myself with a promise unredeemed, given to my publishers, for a novel at a certain date, as I had already sold the novel which I intended for them to a magazine for serial publication. So I looked around in my memory for some spot which was so thoroughly familiar that I need not invent details, but simply call them up from my memory. I immediately thought of the village of Hatfield Regis in Hertfordshire, where I was sent as a pupil to a clergyman. I lifted that village bodily out of my memory and put it into my story, even to the extent of certain real names and localities."—Robert Bridges in McClure's Magazine.

Wolf Dog Teams In the North. "One of tho novel sights at Edmondtown, N. W. T.," said H. H. Schaefer of Moncton, N. B., "was a dog train which arrived from the north. There were 100 teams, four dogs to a team, each drawing a sledge holding about 500 weight of furs. The drivers and attendants of these dogs were Indians and half breeds. They had traveled about 300 miles in a little over a week. "Those dogs are known as 'huskies,' a cross between the gray wolf of Canada and the ordinary dog, and their average weight is 100 pounds. They,are big, fierce looking brutes, a dirty white color and as savage as their ancestors, the wolves, which they greatly resemble. These animals, despite the heavy,,loads they haul and the long distances they make each day—nearly 50 miles-:—are fed only one whitefish each day weighing not more than a pound and a half. This food is given them jfi the evening at the end of a day's journoy, and they dovour tho food ravenously. Meat cannot be given them, as it makes them wild and fierce. During my stay at Edmondtown one of theso brutes escaped from tho pack and ran amuck through tho town, snapping at everybody aud everything it passed, and it created a feign of terror before it was recaptured. Theso dogs, when broken, are valued at $25 to $50 each, according to size and strength.''—Chicago Times.

VVABMNG FOR GIRLS.

Rev. Madison C. I'oters Spivtks of 111 Assorted Marriages-- lii-sults of ZVIaking "Old 3I:iid" 11 Term of Ileproacli—Marry

Your Kqual—I'rcfiiiiity llobuked.

A young man who had long been absent called upon two beautiful young ladies of his acquaintance. One came quickly tn meet him in the neat yet not precise atari! in which she was perform iug her horsehold duties. Tho other, I after a lapse of half an hour, made her stately entrance in all the primness of starch and ribbons, with which, on tho I announcement of his entrance, she had hastened to bedeck herself. The young man, who had long been hesitating as

to iiis ciioice between the two, now hesifated no longer. The cordiality with

which tho first hastened to greet him and the'charming carelessness of her attiro entirely won his heart. She is now his wife. Ho was a scnsiblo man. Tako warning from this. iSTever he afraid to see a friend because you are in your working ".own. No true gentleman will think less of you because ho finds you in the performance of your duty, and lie will think all tho more of you if you aro not ashamed to let it bo known. I O young ladies, love home! Of that realm you aro the queens. Fit yourselves to fulfill its divine prerogatives, for in the home is embosomed God's own trust, tho glory of tho state, tho hope of tho church and tho destiuyof tho world.

Oh, tho illimitableness of which you aro capable! Lovo home! Prize its duties! Live for it, and you will secure to yourselves such testimony as Abraham Lincoln proudly bore to his mother when ho said, "All I am my mother made me, and above all you will secure the approval of God.

A Cause of 111 Assorted Marriages. Nothing so much causes ill assorted marriages and mischievous results as making "old maid" a term of reproach. Many girls liavo been hurled into matrimony by the dread of being so stigmatized and have repented the step to their dying day. Many women can give more honorable reasons for living outside tho temple of Hymen than their foolish sisters can for having rushed in. Some have never found their other selves. Providential circumstances may liavo prevented tho junction of these selves, and is not a life of loneliness more honorable than a loveless marriage? Is not single blessedness preferable to double cursedness?

There aro many women who laid down their hopes of wedded bliss for tho sake of accomplishing some good. In such cases singleness is an honorable estate. There is a work for woman in tho world, married or single, as wife, mother, sister, daughter or friend.

Unequally Yoked Together. Ovid ays, "If you wish to marry suitably, marry your equal. If possible, marry a man who is in some way your superior. Your standing in society will bo determined by his. If you marry your inferior, you wrong yourself, your family and your wholo life. As tiliakospearo says: 'Tis meet that noble minils

Keei ever with their likes.

Truo aro the words of Tennyson in "Locksley Hall" of every woman who marries her inferior: Thou shalt- lowr to his level day by (lay, What is line within thei growing coarse to sympathize with clay. As the husband is, the wife is thou art mated with a clown, And the crossness of his nature will have power to dratf thee down. Ho will hold thee when his passion shall have spent its novel force Something better than his dog, a little dearer than his horse.

Now and then a woman of great force of character may lift her husband upward, but sho accepts such a labor at the risk of her own higher life.

Profanity Impoliteness.

Cow per once wrote: It chills my blood to hear the blest Supreme Lightly appealed to on e:ich trifling theme. Maintain your rank vulgarity despise To swear is neither brave, polite nor wise.

Cmi

ho who leads overy sentence with

an oath or a curse wear tho name and garb of a gentleman? This reminds mo of that incident of Abraham Lincoln, who said to a person sent to him by one of tho senators and who in conversation uttered an oath: "I thought tho senator harl sent mo a gentleman. I see I was mistaken. There is the door, and I bid you good day.

Profanity indicates low breeding. It detracts from tho graco of conversation. It is an ovidenco of a weak brain and limited ideas. I care not what kind of clothes a man wears, what culture he boasts, what refinement he prides in, what family connections he has, how much he may restrain himself in the presence of ladies, he who fears not to rush into the presence of a thrice holy and Almighty God, with oaths upon his lips, is no gentleman. No language can be more disgustful, moro grate the ear or fret the heart, than to hear the God of heaven summoned in attestation of tattle or challenged to damn and destroy. t1,

Kxcuse of Nonchurchgoers. A common excuse given by those who absent theinsolves from church is, "Churchgoers are no better than nonchurchgoers." Now, we will not insult you by giving you figures, but go to our penitentiaries and jails. Are there more churchgoers than nonchurchgoers there? Look at the criminals in the police courts tomorrow morning. Are they churchgoers or nonchurchgoers? Who are they who work for the elevatien and purity of public morals and to ameliorate the condition of humanity? Churchgoers or nonchurchgoers? To say that the people, as a rule, who go to church are no better, as a rule, than those who do not go displays oither deplorable ignorance or pitiful bigotry.

Perfect Health—Head Marion :s» liylaiut's Testimony.

I was nlllicted with typhoid fever two years ago last August. After lingering five weeks under treatment of a good physician, was restored, but in a short time my left side became inflamed, an ulcer appeared over the region of my heart. In course of time I had it lanced. It continued to discharge a very dark poisouous matter for nearly two years. I was under treatment from three doctors in that time who doctored me for blood disease. Of course they gave me some relief, but my alilietiou seemed to continue about one stage. I am now years old have always been of a weakly constitution. Having read the testimonial of James M. Deer, who was afflicted in like manner, I at once procured a bottle of my druggist. At the time 1 commenced taking it my side was discharging about a half pint of d.a"k poisonous matter each day. cvas so weak that I was confined to my bed could not eat or sleep, and to rest was impossible. I have taken one bottle of your Acme blood purifier. My side has settled down, has stopped running, has healed up and not a particle of sore« ness about it. I shall continue to tako the medicine for some time. I am cer~ tain it has effected a permanent cure. will take great pleasure in recommending it as a blood mediciue to all who are afflicted as I have been. I would not take $100 for the relief I have had in the past few weeks all brought about by the use of the Acme blood purifier.

St. Paul, Ind., March 26, 1893.

Acme blood purifier is a great promoter of health when taken in the spring, to expel humors which are the system at that season of the year. Cleanse the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin iu pimples, eruption or sores, cleanse it when it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins or whenever it is foul. Even where no disorder is felt, people enjoy better health and live longer by occasionally cleansing the blood and enlivening its diminishing vitality. Its effects being alterative, it changes the action of the sy tem, imparting fresh strength aud vigorous health in place of weakness, indicative of dis" order aud decay.
