Curiosities Of Courage

Tütre are curious subdivisions both of moral and physical courage. Marshal Saxe, the victor of Phillipsbnrg and Fonteno?, had an absurd fearof assassination, and in his fortified palaco of Chanibord kept two constables for the purpose of scrutinizing every unknown visitor. The Duke of Alva got nervous at the mere sight of a dog, and during his residence at Ghent ordered his patrols to shoot every unmuzzled specimen of the obnoxious quadruped. There are men whose actions defy the wrath of public opinión, but who turn pale with thought of seeing their names in the local newspapers, and others who advance fearlessly to the brink of a precipice, but shudder at the sight of a spider. -
