Hix little words they aro
Which blind Ino every day.
"I shall," "1 Duna," "I Dun,"
"I will," "I dare," "1 may.'
"I shall," is Heat high law
Inscribed upon my heart,
Impelling to its goal
My being's every part.
"I must" the metes and bounds
In which, on every hand,
Mankind restrains my acts,
And Nature bids me stand.
"1 can"—that 1s the dole
Of action, strength and art,
Of soionae and of skill,
The Supremo may impart,
"I will" the richest crown
Whleh glorifies the whole ;
The seal of freedom true
Impressed upon my soul.
"I dare," tbo mystic word
To bo read right, before
They nwvc the look which bars
bly freedom's swinging door.
"I may" the finite is ;
Midst infinites it floats ;
Infinite light with gleams
On ilnito sunbeam notes.
"I shall," "I must," "I will,"
'1 Clare," "I may,"
These six words bind me just
In life from clay to day.
Only as I am taught,
ISnow I what, every day,
I shall, I must, I will,
1 can, I dare, I may.
THE AME/WE HONORABLE,
Captain McQuack was a warlike man,
And a positive anon was he ;
Be bad travelled from Carrick to Killtogo-
ran,
From Ballyknooknolly to Bollyboshan,
And all that he did not gee
You might peck in a thimble, or hide in
the pod
In the tiniest kind of a pea.
Ho was a warrior through and through,
And always ready to fight,
But never trained with the cowardly crew
That war upon women and children, too,
With the deadly dynamite.
Like many a warrior brave as he,
As facile in feats of war,
Whose nouns and verbs do better agree,
Who has travelled three times as far,
The Captain would sometimes toll a tale—
And many a tale he told—
Hard to belie,' e for like a sieve
The water it would not hold.
Ho would tell of gondolas flying about
In tho forests of Turkestan ;
Of gargoyles shot in the very spot
'Where he lassoed a catamaran :
Of the seal he captured at Jubbulpoor,
And an hour later lost
In the diamond mine near Iiindo-%oor,
A hundred and seventeen miles or more
Below the limit of frost.
One day, in covering all the ground
Of gastronomic art,
From the roasting of an ibex round.
To the baking of a tart,
Of anchovies he chanced to speak.
"You'll find," said the traveled man,
"No better, if through the world you seek,
.From Mulligan's meadow to Mozambique,
Than him that grows
In the tropical snows
On the threes all over Soudan."
To bear him say "Nay,
Thim does not grow on threes ;
Thim is fish that mums the sae;
And the lave o' the wealth 1 own to•day—
That's four and sivinpinoo--I will lay
That Father Coyle agrees."
"Bother the praist 1' said brave McQuack ;
"It's that I lie, ye'd hint."
To the field forthwith they t000k the track,
And each man pinked his flint,
Tbon, at the word two bullets sped ;
Ono through the viewloss air
Over the gallant Captain's head ;
Ono, meeting an obstacle rare,
Was cleverly naught, as it were, on the fly,
By the Captain's rash antagonist's thigh,
Then followed the season of spring and
sweat' ;
For it was very bard, you can't deny,
The pain of a bullet's sting to bear -
SVithout a yell and a spring in the air,
Even with your foeman standing by.
The Captain's second was first to speak.
"How ho caporal" said ho with a smile.
"Holy Moose 1" exclaimed Mao, with a
blaze on his cheek;
''It was capers I mint all the while 1"
Then, like tho gentleman true that he was,
Ho offered his hand to the foe,
'Shako, sir,' said he : "I ax pardon because
Of a blunder I'm guilty, I know.
You war right; i war wrong, Sir ; but what
should we care 7
In calling it up there's no profit.
I've call'd you out, and we'll both call it
square,
And naytbur will think no more of 11."
"But what," said the wounded man—what
of my thigh?
And what of the btillet that's in it 7"
"Never moind," said MoQttaok ; 'there's a
a doctor near by,
And he'll twist out the ball in a minute."
i10w to Eat Wisely.
By eating fast the stomach, like a
bottle being filled through a funnel,
is full and overflowing before we know
it. But the most important reason is
the food is swallowed before time has

TO OUR READERS.
Wo Dermot too strongly urge upon
our readers the necessity of subscrib-
ing for a family, weekly newspaper
of the first•class—snob, for instance,
as Tho Independent, of Now York.
Were we obliged to select one publi-
cation for habitual and careful reads
ing to the exclusion of all others, we
should choose unheeitatiugly The In-
dependent. It is a nowspaper, mag•
azins, and review, all in one. It is a
religious, a literary, an educational, a
story, an art, n scientific, an agricul.
tural, a financial and a political paper
combined. It has 82 folio pages and
22 departments. No matter what a
person's religion, politica or profession
may be, no matter what the age, sex,
employment or condition maybe The
Independent will prove a help, an in-
structor, an educator. Our readers
can do no less than to send a postal
card for a free specimen copy, or for
thirty cents the paper will be sent a
month, enabling one to judge of its
merits more critically. Its yearly sub-
scription is $3.00, or two years for
$5,00. Address, The Independent,
251 Broadway, New York City.
Married People would be happier.
If home troubles were never told
to a neighbor.
If expenses were proportioned to
receipts.
If each was as kind to the other as
when they were lovers.
If fuel and provisions were laid in
during the high tide of summer work.
If both parties remembered that
they married for worse as well as for
the better.
If men were as thoughtful for their
wives as they wore for their sweet-
hearts.
If there were fewer silk and velvet
'street costumes, and more plain, tidy
House dresses.
If there were fewer "please darl-
ings" in public and more common
ilaauners in private.
If men would remember that a
woman cannot be always smiling who
has to nook the dinner, answer the
bell half a dozen times, and get rid of
a neighbor who has dropped in, tend
a sick baby, tie up the out finger of a
six year old on skates, and get an
eight year old ready for school. A
woman with all this to contend with
may claim it as a privilege to look
and feel a little tired sometimes, and
a word of sympathy would not be
too much to expect from a man who,
during the honey moon, would not
Iet her carry as much as a sunshade.

Fattening Sheep in WInter.
Comparatively few farmers succeed
in fattening sheep 1n winter. A
neighbor told mo yesterday that last
fall he bought 150 sheep, fed them
straw, hay, corn -stalks, and grain all
winter, and sold them for $95 more
than he paid for them. "I got a lot
of good manure," he said, "and that
and the $85 is all 1 have to show for
the feed and labor. It does not pay."
If you can buy sheep in the fall for 8
cents a pound, and sell them in the
springier 6 cents apound, it will pay.
It will pay still better to buy them at
4 cents, and sell them for f3 cents a
pound. We can sometimes do even
better than this. One thing is cer-
tain ; it does not pay to try to fatten
poor sheep in winter. if sheep are
not in good growing condition in the
fall, get rid of them. If you are
going to buy sheep to, fatten, select
the very best that can be found. You
do not want old sheep, and you do
not want lambs. If the sheep are
long -wool or Southdown grades se-
lect those that are yearlings or 2 -year-
olds ; if merino grades, then year-old
wethers are beat. Buy more than
you want, if need be, and select out
the beat to keep over winter, and sell
the poor ones now for what you can
get. Careful selection 1s the main
point. With good sheep, liberal and
regular feeding, dry, comfortable
.quarters, fresh water every day, ,and
salt once a week. Fattening sheep
in winter is deoidely profitable to the
farmer and beneficial to the farm. In
other words, it will provide both
money and manure.— [Joseph Harris

TUE INDEPENDENT is one Of the best pa

many and striking. They have only to be
stated to bo appreciated ; and for the proof
of our claims appeal may be taken to any of
the nifty -two issues of the year. Any num-
ber of The Independent will show that its
contents aro marked by—

ers, the great poets, men of the highest re-
putation in all departments of human'
knowledge, make up its list of contributors,

art, travels, discoveries, stories, and all
conceivable topics are embraced in the eon -

the organ of no olique or party in state or
