A hoy of real pluck and energy is ivasionaily to he found nowaday s. .-spite the carping criticisms of the essimists w ho believe that the hoys of the present age are altogether bad. ""me of them can carry the message in Gaicia. And some of them are very day currying burdens that en Mtle them to the highest considera tion. One such Is my friend "Jug." as he Is familiarly known by all the ".-." und three-fourths the men and xxo.-nen m town. He is doing a mans xx "tk. xx ith ii hoy's opportunity. Jutt cm i: -, , r known the lox e. and tare f laiii-r .T mother. They both died n I r.s- i: fancy and he has groxvn up illicit lo accident. Ho has never 1. i f much v,f a home. The. Ixird mlv know how he lived until ho w as large enough to work his way along, but now he pays his own way and asks no man any odds lie lives now In the home of a xxidow, but It is as a boarder; and xx hat tic pajs in goes a long; way In bcariiiLr the expense,, of the house 'mbi. Sim t- I have know n him, and f-.r ii fexv yeais before, he has been Helling Norfolk and New Y'ork papers, xvith th.- Pennsylvania Grit and the Sit irday Blade thrown m for good measure. And he sells them too. Karlx ,-uid late his hearty, manly voice may be heard on the streets, and the sue of the bun. Ilea that lie disposes of is remarkable. He makes It his business, and Into it he throws every iitotri of his enTgy. Many a boy throA-n absolutely upon Ins own resources at such an early age wiUjld have been a reprobate at sixteen Not so with Jug. There Is m-t a more perfect yoiiig gentleman thi'r he in all the little town In which he lues. He had not gone very far before he discovered that he needed an ed minion. To discover the need was to s, t about supplying It. He enter- d the gradttd school and went bravely to work at the foot of the ladder. Alfsdy he is In the high school department and steadily cllmb intr Taken all in all, there Is hardly 'i more satisfactory student In the whole school. He appeared before the school board in his own behalf ami secured a special action that makes it possible for him to attend school and look after his news busi ness also. He secured permission to bo absent shout one hour dally, to deliver the papers coming In on the morning train The recitation that he misses is made up at another time. This action was unanimously taken upon the cordial recommendation of the superintendent of schools and Jug is going to school and at the same time managing a business that lavs him several dollars weekly. If he has ever been guilty of any sort if misconduct at school, I have not heard of It. and 1 have made it my business to inquire after him rather closely. And he is no weakling, no sissy that despised thing among school bovs and girls everywhere. For healthy, wholesome, full-blooded life, he la the equal of any. Into the games and sports of the rlayground he carries all the Interest and enthus iasm that go Into his studies and the welcome and good cheer with which he la received by his more fortunate (or unfortunate) fellows Is refreshing to see. So when I buy my paper from Jug. I feel that I am conferring an honor upon myself. As I see the straight, clean gleam from his eye I arh in clined to think that here Is one of Nature's nobiemen who will be heard from some day; not as a Governor or a President perhaps, but es a man. doing- a strong man's work In the world and playing the game square. A friend of mln from -another town came In to see me for a few minutes to-day and I carried him on a brief tour of inspection through our school building, of which we are Just a wee bit proud. In one of the rooms he noticed a small portrait of Abraham Lincoln hanging on the wall. This made an Impression on him and he stopped to deliver him self of a dissertation on th subject 'That's a pi my $oo& igtT hkl we are coming oyt of the woods," he said. "Only a few y.ars ago no Southern school boarg would have allowed that picture t hang In ha building, and I am afraid that I could point out t few such, even to-ay. But we are gaining a historical per spective. We are viewing that tu multous period more clearly, now that we are getting far enough away from it; to lose some of th bitterness with which it was Imbued. Now th South Is not ashamed to honor Lincoln along with Lee as a great American, In whom, we have an equal claim with our brethren of the North. We are beginning to see that ie was the best friend we had on that aide the line and it iM greatly to our credit that we no longer attempt to with hold the honor due this gentle foe Of ours." As I pondered his words, I realized that a change had really come over i me. I remembered the occasion sev i eral years ago when Robert Lincoln, son of Abe, presented to a certain college in this State a magnificent portrait of hia Illustrious father. Quite an event was made of it and l the picture was received and hung with appropriate exercises. Not long afterwards the writer, who at the time was a student la the institution, i went for a short visit to a certain I delightfully sleepy little town, which i had changed In appearance and gen- etti atmosphere not one whit since i the day when her brave sons march i ed lorih to do or to die for the cause dear to all of us. It was a most 1 ' harmtna town and still is. When life gets too much for me and the strain of existence is more than ray nerves can stand, I want to go back there and Just bathe my soul In the j restful ( aim that hangs over the lit tle, burg. On this occasion. J had not been in the town long hefore I met a most interesting Southern lady of the genuine type, dainty, fragile, arlsto- i cratlc. Hhe lived in the past; in fact. : I seriously doubt if she realized the ' war was over. Anything north of the i M,ifi"ii and Dixon Line was of the poison ol' death to tier. She was a ' trreat friend of the !P5tif.:t!on from which I i ame, but she was almost j broken in heart to think that a Southern colitgo had disgraced Itself and its people by hanging upon Its walls a picture of that arch-enemy of tb-e South. She was horrified, grieved, but not slrlcken dumb. I an never forget the dignified but forcible protest she poured out to 1 me as a sort of representative of the ( institution which had gone astray. She un'-orke.i the vials of her wrath right nobly. To-day that dear aristocratic little oil haij upon one wall of her living loom h large portrait of Robert K. i.e.-, and one always feels like bowing reverently in that kingly presence. Hut u resolution has by some means been worked In her ret-nngs, for this striking picture of the South's re vered chieftain is flanked by small photogravures of Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln. And she actually has two or three good biographies of Lincoln which she has read with great interest. Quite a change of mind nnd heart in a few short years; and this is only an example of the change that is gradually taking place In the minds of all our people. It Is simply ne expression of the healthy develop ment of -public sentiment to be found in both sections of any common country. Hubert Lee Is coming to be considered one of the world's great spirits upon the other side of the line, and the name of Jefferson Davis goes buck upon Cabin John Bridge. We are becoming broader without los ing any of our depth. MR. RA YX AL PREACHF-i Puwtor of St. Pauls t'huroh Filli Sec ond Church Pulpit, Preaching a fermon of Great Power.

Th burden of ttie sermon vss Phet the gravity of B. man's spiritual na ture was upward and that "all things work togrether for good" aind to the end all mankind may bescoroe con formed to the plans and purpose, of UoJ, which is far above the plans and purposes in theiactl vitles of men. Tthe sermon waa delivered with excep tional eexneetness on the paxt of this young minister. EPISCOPAL APPOINTMENTS.
