And it was a favorite sort of hoping dream of his, as ho rorle homeward in that empty wood-cart the "athorinff evening, to think ol himself as apain in the array, and Uns time as full colonel; and then to thmlr of himself as, with Mrs. Grant, making the tour ol Europe. Foolish enough such hoping seemed lor a poor farmer jogging homeward in the dusky sunset in an empty wood-cart. But the hope was inspiration to him. And the reality of it all at last burst tho bounds of his most daring dreaming.

Hoping thus, even in Gen, Grant's then- circumstances, was vastly better business that a weak bewailing of his hard and hostile plight. And it is a noteworthy fact that, all through tho war, every one of Gen. Grant's utterances and dispatches had in it this note of hope somehow sounding. I do not think you can find anywhere in them so much as the shadow of a suggestion ot despair, or of ultimate defeat.

"Gave up hope, said a sympathizing friend. "0 no," was the quick reply. home to hope. It's cheaper to hope here." I like that, my friend hope anyway. Get, if you must, the cheapest place to hope, but hope.

I think we should refuse to lose hope, even in such hard times as now grip us one reason, because God is. like much that snatch from "Luther Table-Talk:" "At one time Iwassorely vexed and tried by my own bv tlie wickedness of the world, and by the dangers that beset the church. One morning I saw raj wife dressed in mourning. Surprised, I asked her who had died. 'Do you not she replied; 'God in Heaven is How can you talk such nonsense, Katie? I said; 'how can God die?

Have you ever thought, my friend, of the worst loss which can como to a man? Loss of property? That is a sad loss, but not tho worst. Loss of friends? That is a sad loss, but not the worst. Loss of opportunity? Nor Is that the worst of losses. Loss of hope, when the heart dies, and the fails, and tho hands hang listlessly, and a man begins only and sadly to this, tho loss of hope, is tho blackest- lots. NOT LIFE.

Th. In.itlm.ble In RusnlU of S.W- BBOrlflco. James Brady is a mechanic. He had a satisfactory position as foreman of machine shop, and easily supported his wife and two boys. The boys owera twelve and fourteen years old, and went fih'im the promise unusual "What would you Ilka to do?" asked him one evening, as he left the paper at her door.

"I would like to go to the Tech some time," he replied wistfully. "The Tech?" repeated the lady. The boy explained that he meant tho Institute of technology. She was not prepared for so large an expenditure as this would involve, and made but little reply, but she did not forget the lad's commendable wish. As the times grew worse the struggle for existence in the Brady family was intensified.

The ladswere incessant in their endeavors to find more lucrative work, in order to support the father and mother. One day just then came great news. Preparation for a scholarship at the "tech" was offered to George, the elder boy. "I am sure you will do credit to it," said the good woman, his customer and friend. Then, like so many benefac- tors.inconsiderato.yet klnd.she thought no more about him.

Tho lad was conscientious, ambitious, grateful and industrious to a pitiful degree. He could not give up his paper route, for on that the family lived; so be sat up until twelve o'clock studying: rose four, and "took his meals where he coultl. He was only fifteen years old and over- jt-rown. For three months he went to school. One clay ho came home late from distributing his evening paper.

Though unusually cheerful, lie said lie was vn-y tired. Ho tried to study, then full asluup in his chair, and soon went to bed. When his brother tried to wake linn the next morning, the lad made no answer. A physical! was called. He examined to poor, body and said tliat them was no disease but exhaustion.

The boy was dead from overwork. In the lad's pocket was found a little book. It was a small-print New Testament. In it several blank leaves had been pasted, and upon these were the pathetic accounts of the daily expenditure of money, by tho poor boy, written in the most precise manner. Now, for the first time, tho family learned that he had been living at the rate of four cents a meal, that being his high- tst allowance.

The wonder is how he lived as long as he did. And now when it was too late, pitying friends sprang up on all is ofted tho case. Too late? "What a waste of life!" they said. Tho shock from the death of his son roused the father from his long stupor. He was fortunate enough to be taken back to his old position.

The remaining boy was well taken care of, and well repaid the care that he received. The fortunes of tho family turned; and from the date of their great grief their power to help themselves was assured. the will of others to help them was wiser in its purpose. Tho dead lad's sacrifice wrought for those he loved the very blesiing which he would have chosen for them had he lived. Must necessarily such suffering and Buch a death be called a waste? Sacrifice seems to be essential to the development of all that is noblest and best in men.

lie is the greatest Indian fighter on record, and he will succeed Gen. Howard as commander of tho department of the east, with headquarters on Governor's island. In 1861 he entered the army as the first lieutenant of IL Massachusetts company, being then twenty-two years of age. Four years later he was the possessor of a brevet major-general's commission and three bullet wounds. Ho is not a West Pointer.

His book knowledge of war, says the New York World, was gained in his tent by tho light of a candle after the other officers were in bed. The rest he learned at the cannon's mouth. While his opinions of the Indian may not be so severe as that of the Indian lighter who said that the only good Indian is a dead one, he has never givpii the American aborigine the credit o.f having Quakerish virtues. The Choycmios and the Arapahoes in ISTOwcrc the first to meet him, and, with the exception of one or two inconsequential outbreaks, they have been a lot over since.

At that time-for this Is a true story -the family would have starved had not the boys nobly given themselves absolutely to its support. They took an extended newspaper route and divided it between them. How much did they earn? Just seven dollars a week. On that pittance the four persons lived paid house rent.

The elder of the boys, a fina, manly fellow, showed so much pluck and good ha attracted the attention of working ror miiuiu. "I work for results," said one in defense of his methods In Christian work. That is well. To work unmindful of results is supreme folly; it is waste, perversion. But still the question of how to accomplish the best results remains.

One builds on the surface; his work shows at once, but when the frost come, it is unsettled. Another lays the foundation deep in the ground and on solid basis; generations after, his work stands and has blessed every generation as it Pres- tyterian. HELPFUL HINTS.

Joseph was the smartest of modern Indians. Ho complimented Gen. Miles at their first meeting by saying no one else could have conquered him. In that campaign 7,000 redskins were subjugated or killed. Everybody remembers how lien.

Miles cooped up the Apache, Geronimo. He led his men for weeks over rocky mountain sides and stretches of sand, under a broiling hot sun, clad in nothing but their underclothes. Veterans of tho English wars in Africa and India have declared that they had never seen tho equal of that experience. In the southwest Gen. Miles' name is a synonym for bravery.

And while "fighting" is not necessary for a parade, it is in time of war. This little incident in itself is a character sketch of Nelson A. Miles: The Chcycnnes murdered a settler and a wife and carried their two little girls away into captivity. "Bear Coat" rescued them. He wrote to the war department asking that sufficient money bo taken from the annuities of the Chevcnnes to rear and educate the ht- tlc ones.

It moved along a summer shower. To the left, along the bluff, the gentle drops of rain were falling with lullaby-like patter on the thickly- clustered trees of the hillside forest I had dismounted from my wheel, and was watching the progress of tho storm that, passing so near me, had not touched me. But, all at once, with a mighty roar like the rending of the heavens, a dark greenish cloud with tints of yellow and black, its massive folris writhing in and out like serpents at battle, emitting vivid flashes of lightning, came over tho bluff a quarter of a mile cast of me. It was shaped like a huge top, its irregularly-formed upper half revolving rapidly while the lower end swept tha earth along a path a quarter of a mile wide.

Startled I was, I could not take my eyes from this awful messenger of destruction. The crash of the build ings first struck filled the air with fly ing- debris, in which fragments of houses, furniture, trees, farming irn plements, haystacks and telegrapl poles-all were propelled by a wonder fill, irresistible current of ruin and dis aster. Eighty rods wide the death-dealing cyclone swept along, skirting the bluff, whore it stripped foliage and bark from the trees, and DOW then swooping down on some farm, bo suddenly did the storm burst that many had'to lice with all speed to their cyclone cellars, the only safe refuge from these fearful storms. After a course of half a mile along the bluff, the funnel-shaped monster swerved to the right. It swept through huge wheat fields, where it snapped off the drooping- heads of the almost ripened grain, and then tore on through the little village of Williamstown, transforming what was the moment before "a lovely village of the plain into a scene of devastation.

Houses, barns and other buildings were destroyed, and human beings carried through space as if they were but feathers. Many lives were lost and many homes literally swept from the face of the earth. There were many miraculous escapes, A baby, sixteen months old, was discovered by the roadside several hundred yards away from the house, asleep and uninjured. An old lady sixty years old was carried a mile from her home and lodged safely in the wide-spreading branches of an. oak tree, unhurt.

A family of six sought refuge in a small space under the stairs; the house was carried away the sole exception of that portion, and the family escaped injury.
