MORGAN, TWENTY-YEAR-OLD giant, {ll-dressed, uneducated and with the face of a Greek statue, was hired as teamster in 1756 to transport some of the British army supplics for the French and Indian war, A spruce English lieutenant, who was in a bad temper, undertook one day, to swear at the young giant. The latter swore back with a lurid vehemence, The leutenant, in @ rage, struck him across the face with the flat of hia sword, The teamster promptly gave the gold-laced officer the severest thrashing of his life, The Colonial youth who thus dared raise an impious hand agalnst the sacred person of @ British officer was “Dan” Morgan, of New Jersey, Hoe was a raw, illiterate fellow who had run away from his Hunterdon County (N. J.) home at the age of sixteen, because of a quarrel with his fathen Moving to Virginia he had worked as a day laborer until he saved enough money to buy a pair of horses and a cart, Then he became one of Gen, Braddock’s teamsters. He was in the same trade when his quarrel with tho lleutenant occurred, Although he thrashed the officer, Morgan was over- powered by the soldiers who stood near by, and was treated to 600 lashes of the whip on his bare back, It was an age when Brittsh eoldiers were floxged by way of punishment.

C3 E careful about the resolutions you | make, whether on New Year's Day or any other time, Such ad- vice as “Hitch your wagon to a star,” or “Aim high,” or “Centre your ambitions on infinity,” doa good deal of harm, because they | advise unattainable things and | end in more or less uncertainty | and discontent, | cls Many resolutions are needless. | ‘Tis CF The making of them followed by | the breaking of them weakens the wil! power and lessens the ability! to do needful things. | Suppose that a man resolves always to get up at 6 o'clock when his business makes it unnecessary for hin to get up before 7. That resolution is quite certain to be broken, and he will be more likely to oversleep and be late at the office than if he made a 7 o'clock resolu- tion in the first place. | Some men have not sufficient sense of will discrimination to Mmit their cigars to a fixed number or thelr drinks to lesa than will intoxicate them, It is simpler for them to abstain altogether. But with most men and almost every woman a resolution to do something beyond the bounds of sound reason is such an incessant temptition to be broken that it is not long effective. —— eer Flogged for Thrashing a Bully. th et da of his HHT a farmer.
