FRESH INSPIRATION.
Napoleon and HI* Attitude To??W
th* Common 8oldUr.
Napoleon understood human tutor*
He recognised the gre?t truth, "As I
man thlnketh In his heart so la he,"
and knew how to apply it not only tc
himself and hla own ambitious proj
ects, bat to other men as well. More
over, he knew precisely the right mo
meat to apply it to quicken the spark
of divine energy which smolders la
every man, although the ashes of far
tlgue and failure may cover Its light
temporarily.
A French soldier carried a dispatch
to Napoleon. Just as be delivered it
into the hands of the emperor hi*
spent horse dropped dead. Napoleoa
wrote an answer to the dispatch, then,
dismounting from bis own hone, he
handed the bridle to the soldier.
"Take this horse and ride back, com
rade," he said.
"Nay. sire," stammered the soldier,
gazing at the blooded horse and its
trappings. "It is too magnificent and
graud for me. a common soldier."
"Take It!" commanded Napoleon.
"There is nothing too grand and mag
nificent for a soldier of France."
The soldier mounted and rode away
on his perilous business, ready and
willing, and Napoleon's words, repeat
ed through the ranks and columns of
his army, gave to his tired troops
fresh Inspiration and energy. "Noth
ing too grand and magnificent for a
soldier of France!" they said, and the
thought that they were worthy of the
beet Inspired them to the mighty deeds
which followed.
For Improvement.
At Christmas day. of all th* days
That through the blooming season range*
The family man should loee his grouch
And scull* a little for a chance.

The following Is a true story, voach
ed for by a correspondent: Her little
boy of aeven years of age said to her
one day: "Mother. 1 know why it is
that bablee cannot speak until they are
twelve months old. It Is because they,
come straight from heaven, and if they
were able to talk as soon as they were
born they would tell the secrets, and
so God doesn't let them speak until
they have almost forgotten them."?
