Sensible Women.

No person in the wide world conf
mands so great respect as sensible
woman. Not the butterflies of fashion
who stife the cries ofinnocent children
aud haste to obey the behests of $50
ciety;" not the miserable groundlings
whose time is too precious to waste
in the commonplace duties of faith
full wife or mother not the milksops
who talk flippantly of the last novel
and cannot tell whether yeast or pull
verised chalk is used to make bread |;
not the intellectual" and strong
minded females who go about with
uncombed hair and dirty hands; but
the refined, cultivated woman, who is
true to herself, and consequently true.
to her God and family. One whose.
mind is rich storehouse, filed with
practical knowledge one who can sew
on shirt button or give lessons in
natural. philosophy; one who can
wash dishes-if her condition in life
requires it-or teach drawing; one
who can ring the changes of cook
ing stove or piano; one who will
.'bide content the modest lot of wo-
man." and does not seek to make
presidents or grow to mans estate
without undergoing the perils of boy
hood. One whose inhuense is felt
in the home circle; whose teachings
point toward heaven. Such a woman
is worthy the reverence of all true
men.

current of Niagara, which inevitably
carries oil within its power over the

the jokers have forgotten all about it,
the gravely majestic beast has put his

No well-appointed farm should be
destitute of its ice-house, any more
than of its horse barn or wood-house.
No elaborate or costly building is
needed for this use; no large expense
need be incurred in making the Ell
closure, or filling it with ice. In a
pinch the farmer can do all the wor L
himself, and need only buy the lum-
Der, nails, and few hinges.-of the
matter of cost it is safe to say that
any farmer, even "if he owes good
deal" or his taxes are hard to pay,'i
can compass the cost of an ice house.
He had better sell his best COW than
do without the ice, for by the aid OF
the latter the profits of his dairy will
be largely increased in hot weather.
In the house the uses of the ice are
so various, that once introduced il
becomes necessity.
Some hints regarding construction,
though old, may be of use to those
wishing to build. First, good drain
age must be secured without giving
the air access to the ice through the
drain. Ifthe soil is porous, or grav-
ely, no artificial drainage is required.
1t is not essential that the ice be stor-
ed underground, as it keeps quite as
well above the surface. Double walls
are best and safest. The ice should
be compactly packed and enclosed
with packed sawdust, or tanbark, on
all sides and on the top, to the depth
of at least twelve inches. This pack
ing is the great preservative ofthe ice.
Ventilation must be given from the
top of the ice With these principles
in view it is easy for novice to build
an ice-house. 1t is well to bear in
mind that the larger the body of ice
stored the better it will keep. No
farm ice-house should be less than
twelve feet square on the inside, and
eight feet high. As it is consid cradle
work to haul ice from a distance, it is
wise to procure it on or near the farm,
by throwing a dam across brook.
or leading the water of a spring into
basin. A few square rods of ice
will suffice to fill an ordinary house.

.GO 1T ALONE -

There's a game much In fashion, ] think its callet
Euchrc,
Though I've never played 1t for pleasure or iuerc
In which, when cards are in certain conditions
The players appear to have changed their posi-
tions,
And one of them cries in a confident tome
~ think might venture to go 1t alone! -
While watching the game lis the whim of the
bards
A moral TO draw from the skirmish In cards.
And to fancy he finds in the trivial strife
Some excellent hints for the battle of life.
Where, whether the prize be ribbon or throne,
The winner is he who can .'go 1t alone r.
When great Calico proclaimed that the world
In regular orbit was ceaselessly whlrled,
And got--not a convert for all his pains,
But only derison, and prisons, and chains.
1T moves for all that" was his answering tone,
For he knew, like the earth, hccould '.goit alone
When, Kepler, with intellect piercing afar,
Discovered the laws of each planet and star,
And doctors who ought to have landed his name,
Dcrided his learning and blackeneI his fame,
LEARN, watt, he replied, It'll the truth you shall
own,"
For he felt In his heart ne could 'go 1t alonc!'
Alas for the player who idly depends,
In the struggles of life upon kindred and friends
Whatever the value OF blessings like these,
These can never atone for the inglorious ease,
Nor comfort the toward vino finds with groan
That his erutchcs have left him to Ego it alone !"
There is something, no doubt In the hand you hold
HEALTH family, culture, with beauty and gold;
The fortunate owner may fairly regard,
As each In its way most excellent card
Yet the game may be lost, with all these for youi
own,
Unless you have the courage 20 'sgo 1t alone!''
In battle or business, whatever the game,
In law or In love it is ever the same
In the struggle for power, or scramble for pelf
Let this be your motto-"Rely on yourself!
For whether the prize be a ribbon or throne,
The victor is he who can ''go it alone!'

The Early Buccaneers.

OF the piratical cruises of the ear
ly buccaneers, and of the fate of the
Spanish galloons which fell in their
way, history contains no record The
first raid commemorated in their
chronicles is the attack on the town
of San Francisco, Campeaehy, by
Lewis Scott, an Englishman. Itsuc-
ceeded Scott and his companions
returned laden with booty, and the
rumor of the exploit spread through
all the islands which were not held
by Spaniards. Soon afterwards a
Dutchman, named Davis, after an un-
successful cruise, proposed to his crew
to undertake an expedition against
the town of Granada, Nicaragua 1t
was known to be wealthy and popu-
lous, and the sailors-part French.
part English, and part Duteh-jumped
at the proposal Davis rowed nearly
a hundred miles up the river, then
left his ships, and, with eighty deter
mined men, advanced by night
marches on the city. The plan of
operations was characteristic. A
sentinel challenging them as they ap-
preached, they replied that they were
fishermen returning home, and two Of
them advanced toward him, apparent
ly in order to afford further explana-
tions. He met them half way, when
they ''prudently and quietly" passed
their swords through his body. They
had secured a guide, who led them,
one by one, to the hoases of the rich
est inhabitants. Each knocked at a
door and begged to see the master of
the house. Admitted, he seized the
Spaniard by the throat and bade him
surrender all his money and jewels.
A small party had been detailed to
look after the churches. They called
on the sacristans, apologized for the
lateness of their visit, and begged
the loan Of the keys of the churches.
An hour or two sufficed to hammer
the sacramental cups into Jumps of
metal, to gouge the small images Of
their jeweled eyes. and to pack all the
altar plate. The work was complete,
in fact, by the time some one of the
Spaniards gave the alarm by ringing
a bell. The buccaneers instantly.
hurried to the appointed rendezvous !;
then forming in square, they retreat
ed slowly to their boats, defying all
attempts of The Spaniards to intercept
them. Not content with their plum
der, they secured the persons of sew
eral leading citizens, whom they af-
terward released for a ransom of FIVE
hundred COWS Davis arrived safely
at Jamaica with his booty, and an
equitable division was made, the
poorest sailor receiving over FIVE hun
dred crowns as his share of the weeks
nroft
