my baby brother.
I have .a baby brother,
A darling little thing ;
I remember how I kissed him
When they brought him in the sprifig.
And how I used to tease him
It makes me blush to tell ;
IJo was so fat and tendor
That I could uot do it well.
But now he is getting older,
And has a smile for all ;
My mother lets me hold him,
And once I let him fall.
Be Independent,
Yes, be independent. , J
Don't hang round and wait for some
body else to go ahead. Break your
own path. Don’t put off to-day’s work
until to-morrow in the hope that it
will be done for you.
If you want to succeed take off your
gloves and callous your own hands on
tho plow handles.
If you are a woman, and tho servant
goes off in a huff, be independent, and
wash your dishes, and scrub your owu
floors, aud Hugh in her face when she
comes buck, expecting to be received
with open arms.
Thero is nothing like showing fate,
oven it it be fate in tho shape of au
ill-tompercd servant, that you are in
dependent of it, and can get on with
out it.
When people find you don’t want any
of their help they aro always eager to
help you. Things that you do not
stand iu need of will be offered you
freely. •
When you soo a duty before you, do
it, and don’t stand shivering on the
brink for fear somebody will say some,
thigg about it. What matters it if
Mrs. A. says you are a fool, and Mr. B.
expresses the opinion that there is
something wrong in your upper story 7
What he says and what she says does
not alter it.
Don’t a.ik everybody’s advice about
everything. Have pluck enough to do
cide for yourself. If you want to buy
a bushel of corn don’t spend a day run
ning about asking X. Y. and Z. where
you had better buy it. or if you hadn’t
better wait until grain falls.
Don’t be a sluve to what anybody is
going to say about you. If you have
enemies, and of courso you have, un
less you arc a born idiot, lot them fling
out at you. Show the world by your
daily life that your enemies have lied.
Live lying slanders down. Lift up
your hcad and be independent of them.
Have no confidents and go betweeus.
Mutual friends are disastrous fail
ures anywhere out of Charles Dickens’
novels. If you have secret sorrows
trust them only to your God, for He
alone can keep a secret.
In all matters of right and wrong
judge for yoursolf; decido for yourself,
stand by yourself.
Boar in mind the solemu and stu
pendous truth that you aro preparing
yourself for eternity, and act in such a
way that you may not fear to have the
sunlight of eternity stream full upon
your finished deeds.
Be independent.
Do not cast your burdens upon oth
ers. Rest them between yourself and
Heaven !
Tha tree which lifts its rugged
branches to the sky, in the open field,
stands firm before the temptest which
wi;l uproot its brother in the thickly
grown midland. It has loarnod the
lesson which every man who would
make his life a succoss Bhould learn—to
be independent.

ltuUorwick'N Weakness.
Deacon Grimes called the other day
upou Mrs. Butter wick to ask for a sub
scription to the missionary society,—
The following conversation took place :
“Your husband is a Presbyterian, i
believe, Mrs. Butterwick ?” said tht>
deacon.
“No,” replied Mrs. 13., “he belongs
to everything else on earth but the
church. That’s what I say to him, that
while he is joining so much he’d bet
ter join something decent, that’ll do
him some good. But he nays he has
no time. lie belongs to about forty
six secret societies of various kinds.—
He’s the awfulest man for such things
you ever saw, and all the time running
after them. Monday night he goes to
the Free Masons, Tuesday right he
associates with the Odd Fellows, Wed'
nesday night is his Red Man night,
Thursday night is his Temperance
lodge, Friday he goes fooling along with
the Knights of Pythias, and all day
Sunday he is visiting the sick and the
widows and orphans of dead members.
If there were sixty days in a week I
believe Butterwick would have some
lodge to attend every night.
“Mr. Grimes, that man actually knows
ninety-four grips and over two hundred
pass-words. And he’s awful mysterious
about them. The other day I saw him
swaging his arms about kinder queer
at breakfast, and presently he stops and
says : ‘Thunder, 1 forgot where I was !
Mary Jane, you saw that 7 It was a
grand hailing sign. Swear you'll neyer
reveal.’ And, you know, he’ll wake up
nights and ask me if I heard him talk
ing iu his sleep, and if I say yes, he’ll
look seared to death, and get out his
pistol, aud say he’ll blow my brains out
if I ever repeat one of those pass-words.
And he is all the time practicing on
hio, but he won’t even tell me what any
of them are, aUhough ho knows I’m
just dying with curiosity. He says bo
knows more secrets than any other rnau

in the whole State, and he Bays if he
was tu toll one of them, those Knights
and Patriotic Sons and the rest of
them, would put him into a vault and
seal him up alive, or tear him to pieces
with rcd*hot pinchers. Says they’d
bruise him into eternity quicker’n wink.
Worries me nearly to death. S’pose
he was to become temporarily insane
and gush, but, what’d become of me
and the children ?
“He’s so careless, too. I see him
giving the grand hailing sign to the
slopman yesterday, and the slopnsan
asked Bridget if Mr Butterwick bad
the St. Vitus dance bad j and I know
when he tried one of those grips on the
man that came to tune the piano, the
man said it he squeeicd his hand that
hard again bo’dgivo Mr. Butterwick a
bloody nose.
“And, as for processions. Well, it
seems to mo that when Butterwick ain’t
at a lodge, he’s marching in a piocess
ion. ways some funeral or celebra.
tion or something, and ho turns out and
goes skipping around the streets,
cd in a cocked hat and a sword, and
looking fierce enough to frighten any
body out of their wits. And he told
me that sometimes he gets all those
grips mixed, and he’ll give a Mason an
Odd i'ellow’s grip, and tell me not to
be surprised if he is kidnapped and
made way with beforo morning. And
he’ll kiss his children good by, and
making his last little arrangements so’s
everything’ll bo straight when he’s
gone ; and then the children and me’ll
cry, and he look solemn, and go to bed
to rest before he meets his doom. But
nothing ever came of it. They never
touched him.
“You ought just to see tbe letters
that come here direct to him. ‘E. But®
terwiok,' aud then a whole alphabet of
letters strung after his name, lie’s a
Bright Worshipful Graud Master and a
Sir Knight, and an eminent Past Grand
Sachem, and a Chief Magnificent Rev
erend Druid Priest, and a whole lot
more such things as that, enough to
take your breath away ; and with it all
he’s no more stuck up than vou aro.—
Just as humble as a lamb. And he
says he can reel out more stuff tbatthey
say at ceremonies than’d fill a small li*
brary; and he has about sixty sheep i
skin aprons, and all kiuds of pictures
on them, that he wears when ho is on
duty.
“So he has no time to attend church,
and no money for heathens. lie spent
his last dollar Saturday paying up his
last dues to the Knights of Pythias,
and he says if he can’t settle up with
the Druids by Thursday they’ll cut him
off and chuck him out, I don’t know
what happens to a mau when the Druids
shut down on him, but Butterwick
hints that it is not mnoh better than
suddon death. Perhaps you’re a Druid 7
No 7 Well, you call and see Butter
wick, and he’ll explain it to you, and
meantime those heathens will have to
shuffle along the best way they can.—
Maybe, if you was to write to them i
how Butterwick was fixed they migh*
consider that sufficient. Good morning.
Remember me to Mrs. Grimes.”
Then tho deacon withdrew arid went
around to visit a less mysterious fam
ily.

A Little Logie.
“Father, do you remember that
mother aked you for $2 this morn
ing?” .
*‘\ r es, my child ; what of it ?”
“And you remember that mother did
not got the §2 7”
“Yes. And I remember what little
girls don’t think about!”
“What is that, father 7”
“I remember that we are not rich.—
But you are in a brown study. What is
my darling thinking about ?”
“I am thinking how much a cigar
cos's.”
“Why, it costs ten cents —not $2, by
a long shot.”
“But ten cents tbreo times a day is
thirty cents.”
“That’s as true as the multiplication
table.”
“And thero aro seven days in the
week.”
“That’s so by my almanac.”
“And seven times thirty cents are
two hundred and teD cents.”
“Hold on; I’ll surrender. Here,
take the $2 to your mother, and tell
her that I’ll do without cigars for a
week.’’
“Thank you, father; but if you would
only say a year, it would save more
than §lOO. We would have shoes aud
dresses, and mother a nioe bonnet, and
lots of things.”
“Well, to make my little happy,
i will say a year.”
“Oh, that will be so nice. But
wouldn’t it be as easy to say always 1
Thpn we would havo the money every
year, and your lies would be much
sweeter when you kiss me.”
A tuan was sawing wood yesterday af
ternoon in a back yard. Ho severed
two sticks as thick as your wrist, and
then went into the house. “Mary,”
said he to his wife, “my country needs
me. There’s uo use talking, we’ve just
got to slaughter all these Injuns ; no
true patriot can be expected to hang
around a wood pile these days.” “John,”
said his wife, “if you fight Injuns as
well as you saw wood and support your
family, it would take 118 like you to
capture one squaw, and you’d have to
catch her when she had the ague, and
throw pepper in her eyes.” John went
back to the wood pile, wondering who
told his wifo all about him.— Halt Lake

The Strife Tor Unity.
Once upon a time there whs a con
flict among the waters. Oil was thrown
upon them to pacify them. Tbe wares,
instead gf subsiding, commenced to
fight about the oil, and there was more
strife than ever.
Two dogs were once fighting. A man,
to stop them, threw a bone at them.—
The two dogs then went to fighting over
the bone.
Mankind were once fighting.—
Christ gave his religion to stop it.
They then went to fighting over his re
ligion.
Some shooks of grain were once scat
tered on the ground. A husbandman
gave them a band to bind them in a
sheaf. They got to fighting over the
band, and were more divided than ev
er. ;
The Christians were once divided
The church was given them as a bond
of unioQ. They got to dividing on the
church and arc now more divided than
before.
Two men were once drowning.- A
rope was thrown to them to save them.
They got to fighting about tfie rope,and
both were drowned.
Men were once perishing. Christian
ity Was sent among them to save them.
They tried each to get it exclusively,
and many were lost without it.
Two oxen were once pulling a plow.
They pulled the plow to pieces.
The beasts of the barnyard once met
to form a union. Eaoh class excluded
all the rest, and they formed a union by
eaoh declaring that there were no beasts
but themselves.
The Christians once met to unite
in one chuich. Each sect excluded
all others, and formed a union by de
claring that there were no Christians
but themselves.
And, as the asses said there were no
beasts but asses, and the sheep that
there were no beasts but the sheep, and
the hogs there that were no beasts but
logs, so tbe Episcopalians said there
were no Christians but Episcopalians,
and the Catholics that there were no
Christians but Catholics, and the Bap
tists that there were no Christians but
Baptists.
Three brothers, disagreeing, met to
agree. Each decided that he was all,
and that, agreeing with himself, all the
brothers were agreed
The churches met to agree. Each de
cided that it was the only church, and
that, agreeing with itself, the whole
church was agreed.
A man was to receive all his relatives
to an entertainment. But, as none of
them came, he decided that they were
not his relatives, and that, therefore,
he, entertained the whole family, in
himself.
A church once invited all other
churches to return to it. But, as none
of them returned, it decided that they
were not churches and that all the
churches were returned.
A mau learned that the entire popu
lation of the world was four thousand
millions, decided that nohody was any
body but himself, and that, therefore,
he was four thousand millions.
A certain sect, learning that great
glory attaches to the church, decided
that there is no ohurch but itself,
and that, therefore, it has all that glo

Sweet Beginning*.
A babe in the house is a well-spring
of pleasure, Mr. Tupper told us some
years since; and if ho never said an
other word wo wished to hear again
that one was true enough to be engrav
ed upon a jewel to sparkle “on tho
stretched forefinger of all time,” as ev
ery one knows that, who has a babe in
the houso.
Who is there that can bring the same
fullness of innocent and unselfish light
and life into a house when there is no
baby there? There may be young
people by the score, with singiDg and
laughing and running and dancing ; but
it is all iu the way of their own enioy
ment, and even if others are allowed to
share it, it lends none of that wide
sense cf disinterested pleasure that a
baby brings, where everything bends to
his royal pleasure and needs, and where
every one’s love is a summer heavenr
under which bis little soul expands, and
which grows more .intense i|ay by day
with that little soul’s expanding—with
the first hearty laugh, the first articu
late syllable and triumph of speech, the

aud questions. What money getting,
whai novel readiug, what dancing or
boating or driving, what flirting or co
queting, gives any such pleasure as days
and weeks of life with this little new
soul ? What lover’s kiss was ever any
sweeter than the kisses that fall and
nestle in these dimples? What pic

beauty of any baby ever born and

t It is a tyrant, though, this baby, for
all. His rod is on our necks. But such
a glad, gay, loving little tyrant, with
his great, sweet, wet kisses, his smiles
ike breaking sunshine, and his griefs,
in which his eyes are nothing but two
great beautiful tears themselves, that
our worst enemy would be our liberator.
May his shadow never be less ! May he
live a thousand years ! May he reign
forever, in short, in all our hearts and
all our homes ! And may we all thank

That we’d ever have such dreaoiings,
Till from sleep wo see t-bee breaking,

It does not occur to us to ponder what,
warrant this b.by has for all his excel
lence, and that being our child, he
should partake of our imperfection.—
He is as independent of us as a star in
its glory, he is himself pure, and sim
ple, as much as if he were the first ba
by of the universe; what is good in us
he has—he can inherit nothing evH ;
onlj we are once in a while amaxed at
ourselves to think we dure call the little
wonder ours. And if there will in
trude upon ns now and then a shiver®
ing fear lest it be beyond cur deserts to
keep this treasure, lest the thing be too
fine for earth, lest any of the plagues
that infest the kingdom of childhood
show their dark faces by his little crib,
we aroynt it and put it away as a dark
and evil ghost stealing upon the ban
quet. We may die, and all the world
may die, but not this sweet piece of im
mortality in which the whole race has
just come to flower, and with home our
light would go out forever.

How to Do l!p Shirts.
A lady gives the following in the
Ohio Farmer :
To three tablespoonfuls of common
starch, well boiled in one quart oi wa
ter, add a lump of lard the size of a
pea, a tablespoonful ol loaf sugar and
a little salt. Let it cool until you can
use it without burning your hands.—
When the clothes are thoroughly dry,
dampen your shirts in a thin cold
starch, roll them up and let them May
before ironing. When ready to iron
have a bowl of clean cold water at
hand, dip a clean handkerchief into it
and wring it out dry; then stretch the
shirt over a shftt board, and with the
dampened handkerchief wipe off every
particle if starch th - 1 appears on the
surface, taking care always to wipe
downward. Be careful not to have the
iron too hot. The more pressure you
use on tho starch surface the finer pol
ish you will get. I have done up shirts
this way for several years, and know it
will produce a polish equal to any laun
dry work. I forgot to mention in its
proper place that you should never boil
the atarch until the clothes are ready
to hang up to dry.
No sliirt ?nn be done uicely without
a shirt board. .The one I have is two
feet long and one foot wide, an inch
board plained smooth, and covered on
one side with six thicknesses of flannel.
The first five thicknesseses are stretch
ed over tightly and tacked securely on
the edge of the board, all around, the
white flaDnel outside is stretched to the
edge of the others, so that it cau be
removed for washing whenever necessa
ry. Old blankets or shawls that have
done their duty, as such can be well
utilized for this purpose.
A Life Sketch.
There was half a ton of coal lying
ijul on our front pavement. The first
fellow who came along and lookod at it
measured it carefully with his eye, spit
on his hands and then went on. The
next one was a stout boy of some sev
enteen dirty summers. He espied that
pile of coal afar off, and made a rush
straight over it into the office, and all
out of breath yelled :
“Saymizzer, wanchercoalputin 7”
“Y T es, sir.”
“Woche gWe 7”
“Quarter.”
“Where’s your shovel and things ?”
The articles were produced, and the
active youth carried in one seuttleful
with great vehemence. Then he went
out and leaned on the shovel and talked
to another boy until a two-hundred*
pojind tramp came along.
“Say, trampey, don’t yer want n
job?” • •
“In course I wants a job. \v hat is
it?”
“Put this ’ere coal in. I’ve got to go
down town to meet a man on business,
m won't wait."
The boy shot off, and Mr. Tramp
came into the office with the air of a
representative of a noble house recov
ering from a protracted drunk.
“What’ll ye give to have that coal
pot in 7 That boy’s lit out."
“A quarter.”
“flow do you s’pose a man’s goin’ to
live onto a quarter 7 The nobility of
labor sjoros the paltry offer. I’ll do It
for fifty cents."
“Don’t care what you’ll do it for ;
we'll give you a quarter."
“That’s the way bloated capital al
ways grinds the face of the poor. I’ve
got to submit, though I s’pose. But
remember, kind sir, there’s a day a
cornin’, sir—th ro’s a day a cornin’.—
Can’t you give us five cents to get some
crackers to start in on 7 It’s weari
some, working upon a vacuum ”
He went out, cast a look of weary
woe upon the pile, shook his head at
the shovel, and then sauntered away
around the corner.
“Can’t you give a fellow a quarter
to get his boots me.ided 7" said a brill
iant young man of the professionally
ouUof work class, as he leaned in at
the window, introducing an amosphere
aerated with stale whisky and red her*
ring.
“Yes, sir; put that coal in and we
will give you a quarter.”
“YV-ha-t! Say, mister, you must
be looney, ain’t you ! I’m a lookin’
arouud for work, I am. I ain’t hunt
in’ up jobs of putting in coal. Ain’t
you goin’ to gi’me that quarter 7”
“Have but one quarter, and that’s to
pay for putting in that coal.”
“Well, mister, any man as mean as
you are ought to put his own coal in ;
that’s ell I’ve got to sav,” and, whist
ling a lively tune, the professional
wor&*hunter left and made room for
the first bootblack with a clean face we
ever recollect to have seen.
“Please, sir, won’t you let me put
that coal in 7”
“Think you can manage it 7”
“Oh I yes, sir and he went at it,
and in less than half an hour the job
was done.
“Well, sonny, how much do you
wont 7”
“’T ought to be worth ’bout fifteen
cents, I reckon ”

A Green Countryman.
Years ago, into a wholesale grocery
store in Boston walked a tall, muscular
looking, raw-boned man, evidently a
fresh comer from some back town in
Maine or New Hampshire. Accosting
the first person he met, who happen**
ed to be the merchant himself, he ask
ed :
“You don't want to hire a man in
your store, do you ?"
“Well, said the merohant, I don't
know ; what can you do 7”
“Dof’ said the man, “l rather guess
I can turn my hand to almost anything.
What do you want done ?"
♦‘Well, if I was to hire a man, it
would be one that could lift well—a
strong, wiry fellow; one, for instance,
that could shoulder a sack of coffee like
that yonder, and carry it across the
store and never lay it down."
“There, now, captain," said our
countryman, “that’s just me, What
wiil you give a man that can suit
you ?”
“I tell you," sa ; d the merchant, “if
you will shoulder that sack of coffee,
and carry it across the store twice and
never lay it down, I will hire you for a
year at $l,OO per month."
“Done,” said the stranger; and by
this time every clerk in the store had
gathered around and were waiting to
join the laugh against the man, who.
walking to the sack, threw it across
his shoulder with perfect ease, as it
was not extremely heavy, and walking
with it twice across the store, went
quietly to a large hook which was fas
tened to the wall, and hanging the
&ack upon it, turned to the merchant
and said:
“There, now; it may hang there till
Doomsday; I shan’t never lay it down.
What shall Igo about, mister ? Just
give me plenty to do and 8100 a month,
and it’s all right.”
The clerks broke into a laugh, but it
was out of the other side of their
mouths ; aod the merchant, discomfited,
yet satisfied, kept to his agreement, aud
to-day the green countryman is the sen
ior partner in the firm and worth half
a million dollars.
Quick wit, good sense, and a willing
ness to work were the foundation of
this man’s success.
One cause which prevents half our
young men from “rising in life" is r
disinclination to work. They arc afraid
of doing themselves that which was
appointed for another to do, and 60
•'fight shy" of their own and the inter
ests of their employer. To succeed,
one must make it his duty to do all,
he can for the good of the concorn in
which he is employed ; eyo service
will surely be detected, as real service
will as surely be discovered, apprecia
ted, and rewarded. Young men, it you
would he promoted, make yourselves
worthy of it by honest service
