l‘wo, Incidents Where It Was the Mean-
of Saving Life. '
- Many years ago 'the late Dr. Shippen,
bf Philadelphia, left his house in early
morning and was hurrying down the
street when he noticed a singular and
ferocious looking man, whose gaze was
fastened upon him. -With instinctive
politeness and bonhom’mie he smiled,
raised his hat and passed on, when
suddenly he heard a shot. Turning, he
found that the stranger had just left
his home with the insane intention of
killing the first man he met.~ He was
the first man; but his absolute fearless
and constitutional as well as cultivated
courtesy had put the man off his
guard, and the next passerby had
caught the bullet intended for him.
That smile and bow had saved his'life.
When the country was a century
younger and the Indian was yet in the
land, a gentleman upon the then fron-
arated from them, and completely lost
his way. Every effort to retrieve his
steps led him still further into the im-
derness, and night ovetook him in a.
dense, foest. OVercome with fatigue,
he lay down under a tree and slept
profoundly. In the morning he awoke .
with a start, with that indescribable
feeling that someone was looking: at
him, and, glancing up, he saw that he,
was surrounded by hostile Indians, and
that the leader of the band, in war
paint and feathers, was bending over
him in no amiable mood.
He took in the situation at a. glance .
-—knew his immediate danger, and had
no means of averting it; neither did he
understand a. word of their language.
But he was self-possessed, knew the
universal language of nature, and be-
iieved that even under war paint and
feathers “a. man's a. man for a.’ that.”
He fixed his clear, bold eye upon the
Indian, and—smiled! Gradually the
flerceness passed away from the eye
above him, and at last an answering
smile came over the face. Both were
men—both were'btotherseand he was
saved! The Savage ‘took him under his -
protection, brought him to his Wigwam,
and after a few days restored him to
his friends. Courage, self-command
and tact had gained the day.—Lippin-
cott’s Magazine.
Popes OF HUMBLE ORIGIN.
Ono tho Son of a Swlnohord nnd Another
tho Son of 3 Shepherd.
Slxtus V., who was one of the most
able and powerful pontllfs that ever
reigned and ruled, was the son of a
poor swineherd at Montalto. Taken
from his position as swine keeper by
a. Cordelier, who was pleased with his
quickness and intelligence, he was
placed in a. convent. There 'he made
such rapid progress in learning that
he was admitted into holy orders, and
became doctor and professor of divin-
ity, whereupon he took the name of
Montalto. He was made a. cardinal in
1570. After the death of Gregory XIII.
the cardinals__united in electing him to
the vacant chair in 1585. He was in-
flexible. in the administration of jus—
tice, and. built the Vatican library,
which alone was sufficient to make his
reign a memorable one. Peter Philargi,
cashier of Milan and. afterward Pope
Alexander V., was born of a humble
family in Crete. He knew neither fa-
ther nor mother. As a beggar boy in
the street, he was taken and educated
by a friar minor. Adrian VI., who was
born at Utrecht on March 2, 1459, was
the son of a ship carpenter of the name
of Floris; Pius IV., the son of a peas-
ant, and Plus V. .the son of a shepherd.
Gregory VII, surnamed Hildebrand,
Pope from 1073 to 1085, was the son of
a carpenter of Soano, in Tuscany—Tit

CHEERFUL THOUGH BLIND.
l)no Old Lady Wasn’t as Happy After Re-
gaining Sight as \Vhen in Darkness.
“Doesn't it seem strange that the
average person afflicted with hopeless
blindness should have a cheerful dispo-
sition?” remarked a. philosophic citi-
zen. “You'll generally find the blind
good natured." "‘Did it never Occur to
you that they're happier that way than
they would be if they regained Itheir
sight?" asked his companion, a. prom-
inent physician. “Let me cite a case
in point. Some years ago I was called
in to prescribe for an estimable old
woman who was suffering from a slight
cold. She was utterly blind, and had
been so for forty years. I took a look
at her eyes, and immediately came to
the conclusion that her sight could be
restored. Her blindness had come upon
her when she was about thirty years
old, and at that time the science of
Ophthalmology was in its infancy.
“She was delighted at the prospect
of regaining her vision, and put her-
self under the care of a. specialist. her
sight was soon restored to her, but it
made her a Changed woman. She had
been cheerful and nappy before, but
' now she became misanthropic and

1.
her. For forty years she had carried
in her memory the bright, rosy faces of
her children. Now, when she saw them
as gray-haired men and women she
was disappointed, completely disillu-
sionized. And so it was with many
other things. The beautiful dreams of
her blindness were better than the vis-
ual realities."—Philadelphia Record.

“Say, be you the doctor?" inquired

The man of squills admitted the soft
impeachment.
“Well, you told dad to cut a V in
his ingrowing toenail, and he’s stuck;
he sent me back to see whether to cut
a small v or a. capital V.”
