The older we grow in life 1 believe
it is true the more charitable we be
come towards the faults and foibles
and mistakes and shortcomings of
others. The knowledge of ourselves
which we obtain in the course of 40 or
SO years will demonstrate the fact that
however much others may have their
faults and foibles, we ourselves have
more than any other one we have
knowledge of. The more faults and
weaknesses we find in ourselves, the
more charitable we get towards others.
Some men’s faults are more hurtful to
society than others’. Some men’s
faults are more subversive of happiness
and peace than others.
The dominant faults of men take dif
ferent turns, and have different nrmi-
festations. Some men’s weaknesses
are in one direction, and some in an
other. I have known real clever fel
lows whose greatest fault was to talk
about disagreeable things, without
reference to place or time or company.
They love to talk of their troubles and
cares, and how they had been mis
treated. and so on. This sort of a fel
low is a bore, and there is only one cure
for him. and that is for him to quit
talking a year. I know a man whose
chief fault is to overstate facts and
give coloring to everything be tells.
Everything he says is half truth and
half lie, so intermixed and interwoven
that you cannot pick out the truth
part from the lie part, lie seems to be
a genitus for ni ixing t ruth and falsehood.
If he has a cold it is the worst cold he
ever had. If it rained yesterday it
was the hardest rain he ever saw. If
there was an accident in the communi
ty it was the most terrible ever seen.
If the woman he w as talking about was
ugly she was ugly as a mud fence. If
she was pretty she was as beautiful &■
a star. If she was attractive she was
perfectly irresistible. The virtue with
a fault like this, is, we generally learn
how to estimate his utterances and
laugh at his extravagances.
I know another fellow whose chief
fault is complaining about something
! or somebody. Times were never
so bard w ith him; the wolf never so
; near the door. Buckle and tongue
| would never meet any more. It is a
i drought or rainy spell and too much of
either. Such a fellow is a good citizen
when he is sound asleep. I know a few
people in this world, both male and fe
male, whose chief fault is tattlimr.
I ~
| They have a mania for telling one per-
I son what another said about him; talk
ing between neighbors; bearing news
j that brings no good. They enjoy the
I gossip of the day better than they do
: a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving day i
| or an eggnog Christmas morning. They
j know all about everybody.and are will-
I ing to tell it. A big dose of rough on
I tats is the best prescription I know
j for stteli people.
I know another fellow whose chief
! fault is growling and saying unpleas
ant things at the table. The very place
j and time where everybody ought to
I he cheerful and happy, ho puts in «
, growl and a snarl, makes his wife mis-
J 1‘rable and everyone around the table
j unhappy. Such a fellow ought to choke
! to death some day while eating. I know
| another fellow or two w hose chief fault,
j is cruelty to animals. They mistreat
| every dumb beast they own or come in
, contact with, never thinking that a
| noble horse has feelings as sensit ive as
I a woman’s, and that even a mule 1ms
! sensibilities and appetite and apprecia
tion of kindness. They kick their dog.
beat their stock and rock their hogs.
A fault like this is most despicable.
1 know parents whose chief fault is in
paying “Don't” to their children. They
have said don’t and don’t and don’t un
til the children don’t turn out much in
life and don’t amount to much when
they are grown, and don't honor so
ciety, and don’t accomplish much in
this life. I know children whose chief
fault is in deceiving their parents,
which necessitates bad faith and w rongs
and despoils their character and ruins
their lives. I know some men whose
chief fault is in everlastingly trying to
get the better of their neighbors in
every trade and at every turn where
a dollar is to be made or lost. And yet
such people don’t generally have much,
and don’t seem to enjoy what they have.
I know some lawyers who seem to
lie in wait where they can catch some
fellow and squeeze him and mash him
and clean him up. I reckon this is
what made somebody say a lawyer was
like a restless man at night—he lies
on one side and then on the other. A
lawyer who will plan and scheme
against the widow and orphan or an un
fortunate man and do him up to make
a few dollars out of Ills misfortunes
w ill be in bell a-frying before bis feet
get cold; and when the devil docs get
him the balance of the world can thank
their stars that the devil didn’t get
much.
i have known some preachers whose
chief fault was resting. They seemed
never to grow tired of rest. Of course,
a preacher could not be lazy, but some
few ! have known have bad the seat
of their pants patched ten timesoftener
than they have had their shoes lialf-
soled. The preacher w hose chief fault
is laziness ought to be pensioned by the
church and relieved of bis charge. I
have known some members of the
church whose chief fault seemed to
be in trying to steal a march on Provi
dence and shirk every duty imposed
upon them by (Jod or the church. They
are whnf wo call honorary members;
and they hove always honored the
ehuroli'with a vengeance.
I have known some engineers whose
chief fault w as being behind time on all
occasion8. Some conductors whose
chief fault was they thought they were
bigger than the president of the road.
I have known some merchants whose,
chief fault was finding fault with their
customers, while they were growing-
rich on their patronage.
But after all I am not going to tell
what my chief fault is. I suppose the
reader of this article would not be will
ing to tell what his is. But we all have
out faults, and the more justly we
weigh and consider out ow n faults the
less glaring the faults of others will be.
There are very few perfect beings in
this world. I have never had one for
a close neighbor. Of course I have met
perfect people on the trains, in hotels
and on the sidewalks of a city; but I
l never stayed a week with one. The
more charitable w e arc in our estimate
of the faults of others, the more kindly
we will be in disposition and conduct
towards others. And after all, nothing
wins like kindness. Kindness is the oil
on the journals of life to keep down
friction and make the machinery run
smoothly. It is mother’s kindness that
Keeps the home intact. It is the kind
ness of benevolence and charity that
keeps a large part of the world from
being hungry and naked. It is charity
for others which makes ns most akin to
Bod and more like brothers here below.
r I he spirit of resentment, criticism and
ill-w ill makes the man who possesses
such spirit unhappy, and makes him an
unfit associate for others; but the man
who carries a gentle, forgiving, kindly
spirit wherever he goes, is a Imppy
man himself and a benediction to so
ciety and to bis friends.
If we mend our own faults we set an
example that will be helpful toothers.
By leaving our own faults untouched
and unmended and simply by criticis
ing the faults of others this is a poor
way to make tin* world better and hap
pier. Bet us east the beam out of our
own eves before we attempt to remove
the mote from our brother’s eyes, and
sing and pray:
” Ob. God. help me to feel another's woe,
To hide the fault I see;
That mercy I to others show,
That he will show to me.”

“The Pathwaie of Martial! Disci
pline" (IHol). by Thomas Sty ward, is
full of plates and abounds in quaint
remarks. Giving the duties of a provost
marshal we find: “He shall, according
to the laws, punish all oft’ondi rs, w itb-
out regard or respect of persons, and
in the marketplace shall set up a pair
of gallows, both for the terror of the
wicked and for execution upon them
that offend the lawes. That he shall
set upon all victuals brought to the
market a reasonable price, that the
seller ’ind the buyer may reasonably
live by it.”
In tin* office of coronel (or colonel,
the two terms seem to have hi en intro-
cuced at the same time, but the latter
became the favorite), after mention
ing his appointing as many captains
as is needful, giving .’Dio men to a com
pany, “w hich is a convenient number,”
for if the men me divided into smaller
companies too much money would be
spent on the officers. With regard to
the lieutenant, he is to Ik* “of great
experiences, qualities and behavior.”
“The colonel shall also examine the
selections Hint the captains have made
of all the officers throughout their com
panies and if they be such as ought to
be or not much worse lie may allow
them and not otherwise.”
Before firearms drove out all other
weapons it was an object to equalize
the strength of the company, “the
shot” (as the musketeers came to be
called) supplementing the pises. All
the combinations of men for drilling
which are given by various authors
illustrate this; thus, for the defense
I t orn horsemen “place the ranks of
pil es every way, your shot next unto
them, your bills (or hnlhrcds) and en
signs iu the midst, the pikes’ ends
couched down the better to tesist the
enemy."
All kinds of dodges are taught—thun:
“If in sight of the enemy, which is su
perior in numbers, the front rank of
pikes sh:;!| spread out so as to admit
the men of the second rank in tho open
space: . But if the enemy manifest a
ical intention of attacking, and there

Many were employed by Noah in'
the building of the ark who were not
saved by it. They knew well its de
sign. tk ■ material composing it. the'
details of its ecm triietion and the way
of entrance into it. Main,- long years'
they l ad regard to Ins directions in
the work assigned them. They felt
the force of his exceptional character
! as he superintended their labor and
| also preached to them of duty and of
danger. It is easy to believe he selected
those not in the fullest sympathy with
the corruption and violence of the
times. Possibly their employment
gave them some measure of welcome
separation from tin* worst element of
society ami protection against it, and
they may have been subjected, lie-
cause of their relations to aim. to some
thing of the same scorn he experienced.
