siRI. GARFIELD.
A Womau who Loves Her Hlnsband
and Her Home.
Unjitelu's dasta'rdly and neatrly fa
tal attack upon Mr. (;Jarfield has
servcd afI only' to briigrthe President
uearer thain ever to the hearts of the
people, but to show ih strong relief
the beautiful ehuraecter of hlis nolble
wife. There perhaps has never heen
a IcI)re hIplpl1y 5 unliol than that of
Iluertia iRuildollph and Ja.mes Abrtum
;auileld. The one has proved to 1b
much hearer the complement of the
other than usually occurs in this life.
Mrs. (Garfild 1is not what would he
(t'lletd a prettry wonlll, llbut she is
tall. flne looking, has a kind, good
tace, und the gentleunt manners. She
ha.s a slgitt, but well-knit form, small
features, with a notnewhat prominent
forehendtl, and hair originally black,
now sonmewhat tinged with gray. A
pair' of black eyes 1(1and a mon(th about
which there plays a sweetly bewitch
ing smile, arc the most attractive foa
tures of a thoroughly attractive face.
She is a quick observer, an intelligent
listener, but undemonstrative in tihe
extreme. She is a thoroughly domes
tic woman, who loves her home and
her husband. Mary Clemner paysLR
her the following tribute:
"Muclh of the time that other wo
menII give to distributing visiting
cards, in the frantic effort to make
themnselves leaders of society, Mrs.
Gartleld spends in the alcoves of the
congressional library, searching out
books to carry home to study while
she nurses the children. You may be
sure of one thing-the woman who
reads and studies while she rocks her
babies will not be left far beuhind by
her husland in thIe march of actual
growth. I have seen many women
come to the surface of capitolian life
out of obscurity and go back into ob
scurity again; have seen hundreds of
so-called leaders, of society shrivel
and go out in the scorching flame of
fashion; while I have followed with
a tender heart this woman, the wife
of a famous man-a woman whom
nobody called a 'leader.' she, mean
while, has not been lifted oft' her feet,
as many women are, by herinmeband's
rising fortunes; no spreading forth in
style of dress or living, no airs. And
in Washlington, in official life, that
umeans everything- indicative of
character. She has Inorved on in the
trianquil tenor of her unobtrusive
way, in a life of absolute devotion to
her duty, never forgetting the de
mands of her position or neglecting
her friends, yet making it her tfirst
charge to bless her home, to teach
her children, to fit her boys for col
lege, to be the equal friend, as well
as tihe honored wife, of her husband.
Gentlie, patient, unobtrusive almost
to timidity, keenly intelligent, liber
ally educated, conscientiously devo
ted to everything good-this is the
woman who will perpetrate the lov
ing, consecrated life that to-day abides
in the white house, if, as its mistress,
she enters it."
Gen. Garfield is credited in one of
his biographies with tIme following
words of praise for her usually sound
discretion :
"I have been wonderfully blessed
in the discretion of my wife. She is
one of time coolest and best balanced
women I ever saw. She is unstam
pedable. There has not bee1n one
solitary instance of my public career
where I suffered in the smallest de
gree for any rcmark she ever made.
It would have been perfectly natural
for a woman to say something that
could be misinterpreted; but without
any design and with the intelligence
and coolness of her character, site has
never made the slightest mistake that
I ever heard of. With the competi
tion that has been aganist me, many
tunes, such discretion has been a real
lblessing."
She has borne her husband six
childrein, one of whom, a daughter,
died in infancy. One of the most
touching incidents in the life of the
stricken President wvas his coming
home from the front soon after he had
donned the star of a major general to
bury a dead son. He took the dead
baby in his arms and sat for its pho
tograp)hi, the only one the family ever
had of its little dead member. In
speaking of the circumstances to his
friend, President Hinsdale, he said:
"As I sat with that dead child in my
arms my eyes rested upon my bright
blue uniform, so recently bestowed
uIpon me, and I thought how small
are time honors of this life-how insig
utiticunt are all its strugglesbnnd tri
umphis! I am grieved and broken in
spirit at the great loss which has been
inflictedl uponl mmc, ', but I can endure
almost anything so long as this bravi
little woman is left me."
This closing sentence comes with
special signiticance just at this time,
when everything is at stake with the
great man, aid when, if ever in this
life, he Icwds the f ll strength apd
support of his noble helpmate. It was 1
most touching and proper that they`
should have been lett alone at their,
first meeting after the catastrophe.
11er judgment and wisdom are entire
ly sufficient for any crisis that canj
come in the life of her great husband,'
and if ianything can rally him back toE
life from the sombre brink of the.
grave, her presence and care can do'
it. When, a few weklcs ago, her own º
eoilidit ion was Conslelred critical,
their best friends fear'ed the eliffect her
loss would have upon the President,º
and had she diedi there would now be I
little hope of the General's rallying. I
With her constant presence and'
cheering support, the country ifay
have hope for the best. I
BURDETTE'S ADVICE TO TOUW1G
MEN. 1
Remember, my son, that the world
is older than you are, by several
years; that for thousands of years it.
has been so full of smarter and better
young men than yourself, that their
feet stuck out of the dormer windows;
that when they died, the old globe
went whirling on and not one nian
out of ten million went to the funeral,
or even heard of the death.
lie as smart as you can, of course.º
Know as much as you can, without
blowing the packing out of your cyl
inder-heads; shed the light of your
wisdom abroad in the world, but
do'b dazzle people with it, and don't
imagine a thing is simple because you 1
say it is. D)on't be too sorry for your
father because hie knows so much less
than you do. Remember the reply
of )r. Wayland to the student of
Brown Umiyersity, who said it was
an easy thing enough to mwake prmo
verbs such as Solomana wrote, "Make
a few," tersely replied the (ol man.
We never heard that the young man
made any; not more than two or three,
anyhow. The world has great need
of young men, but no greater need
than young men have of it. Your
clothes fit you better than your thith
er's tit him; they cost more money,
they are more stylish, your
moustache is neater, the cut of your
hair is better, and you are prettier,º
oh, far prettier than "pa." luit,
young man, the 01od(1 gentleman gets
the biggest salary, and his homely,
scrambling signature on the business
end of a check will draw more money
out of the bank in five minutes than
you could get out with a ream of I
paper and a copperplate signature in ,
six months.
Young men are useful, and they
are ormamental, and we all love
them, and we couldn't engineer a
pignic successfully without them.
liut they are no novelties, my son.
Oh, no, nothing of the kind. They
have been here before. Do not be
so modest as to shut yourself clear
out; but don't be so fresh that you
will have to be put away to keep
from spoiling. Don't oe afraid that
your merits will not be discovered.
P0ople all over the world are hunting
for you, and if you are worth finding
they will find you. A diamond isn't
so easily found as a (huartz pebble,
but some people search for it all the
muore intently.
THE sECRET OF GENIUS,
"They talk," said Tom Marshall to
an intimate friend, "of my astonish
ing bursts of eloquence, and doubt
less imagine it is my genius bubbling
over. It is nothing of the sort. I'11
tell you how I do it. I select a sub
ject, and study it from the ground
upl. When I have mastered it fully I
write a speech on it. Then I take a
walk and come back and revise and
correct. In a few days I subject it to
another pruning and then recopy it.
Next I add the finishing touches,
round it off with graceful periods and
commit it to memory. Then I speak
it in the fields, in my father's lawn
and before my mirror until gesture
and delivery are perfect. It some
times takes me six weeks or two
months to get up a speech. When I
have one got up I come to town and
go to drinking. I generally select a
court day when there is sure to be a
crowd. I am called upon for a speech
and am permitted to select my own
subject. I seize hold of the banister
or railing and confirm the impression
that I am very drunk, and speak my
piece. It astonishes the people, as I
intended it should, and they go away
marveling at my am api g powcr of
oratory. They call it enius, but it
represents the hardest kind of work."
A story is told of a Boston busincess
mman who irccntly tried to umpire a
game of hIase bail between two nines
made up of his employes, and before
the fourth inning ihe had discharged
every one of the players from his em
ploy, cut down the wages of the scefr
ers and been thrown over a fence by
the excited men.
