HOLD UP YOUR HEAD LIKE A MAN.

If the stormy winds should rustic,
While you tread the worlds highway,
Still against them bravely tussle,
Hope and labor day by day;
Falter not, no matter whether
There is sunshine, storm or calm,
And in every kind of weather,
Held your head up like man.
If brother should deceive you,
And should act traitors part,
Never let his treason grieve you,
Jog along with lightsome heart;
Fortune seldom follows fawning,
Boldness is the better plan,
Hoping for better .dawning,
Hold your head up like man.
Earth, though e'er so rich and mellow,
Yields not for tho worthless drone,
But the bold and honest fellow,
He can shift and stand alone;
Spurn the knave of every nation,
Always do the best you can,
And no matter what your station,
Hold your head up like man.

found Kate and her father already seated.
There were no traces of agitation about
Kate; there only seemed to be an added
sweetness and gentleness in her manner
to her father. l complained of having
passed bad night, and of feeling badly.
1 kept my room most Of the day, but
within its precincts I ragged furiously.
To let her escape with that scoundrel it
seemed to me would be to let the last OF
my life depart. Mol I was determined
to prevent it even at the cost of my life.
The day wore away in slow, interlnina-
BILE length. I did not tell her father
what 1 suspected, but prepared to keep
my vigil alone. By ten o'clock the house
was still and silent. 1 knew that Kate
had gone to her room, for l had heard
light steps on the stairs some time before.
I lowered the gas, opened my door slight
ly, and prepared to listen to every sound.
The town clock struck eleven, twelve,
and one before my patience was rewarded
then the creaklng of the stairs drew my
attention. Looking out, l saw in the
dim light dark-robed figure stealing

Do not lay out in detail "course of read

and the moral effect of making plan and
giving it up is injurious. But there is an
other reason for nay advice. When you be-
come interested in a subject, then is the
time to follow 1t up, and read everything
you can get hold of about it. What you
read when thus keenly interested you will
remember and make your own, and that is
the secret ofacquiring knowledge to study
a thing when your mind is awake and eager

away from the book with which you set

Hon LIFE IN 'FRIsCo.-The Crocker-
Yung imbroglio continues with unabated
ferocity. Our readers are acquainted with
the affecting story. Mr.. Yung owns a
small domicile upon the square upon which
Mr.. C. is erecting a monument TO success
full railroading. Mr.. Y. wants to sell out
and vacate at fancy price, which he has a
perfect right to do, and Mr.. G. refuses to
invest at his figure, which he also has a
perfect right to do. The result is series
of alternate strategic maneuvers. Mr.. e.
builds 4O-foot-high fence round Mr.. Y.'s
house, which shuts up lis windows and
otherwise converts that gentleman's resi-
dence into pirates cave. Mr.. Y. retail
ates by hanging the family linen over said
fence, and shooting at imaginary cats on
its apex from to 4 am. He also encour-
aged his household TO peep through the
knot-holes in the fence aud make caustic
remarks upon what was going on within
the Crocker premises. These knot-holes
were then puttied up by his adversary at
an enormous expense. Next, the irate
railroad magnate digs around the diminu-
tive Yung lot until the latter's front door
is 2s feet in the air, and they have to let
string down out of the window for the mar
keting and the milk. This is the latest
from the seat of war, except that Yung is
making preparation to have cabbage for
a month, the odor OF which-with the wind

of June. He says he was wide awake in
his bed, and just stepped out of a window
on 10 roof, slid down the roof for mile,
and went through blazing lighthouse,
and landed on a rock in a meadow where
a great many voices were singing and
crOaking and calling all around him.
Now we know this all was dream but

Miscellany.


Legend Of the Flag.
Seventeen hundred and seventy-seven:
Fair and pure is the voice Of heaven,
And softly the sunlight floats above
The calm old City Of Brothery Love.
Betsey Ross in her homespun dress
Has paused for moment Of idleness;
The little shop with the sanded floor
Looks bright from the halfway open door;
But Betsey watches with anxious eyes
cloud Of dust that she sees arise.
Adown the street there's goodly stir
A party of horsemen are seeking her.
'Mistress Detsey," the FIRST one cries
Low on his forehead the cooked hat lies
'In the name of Congress we bid you leave
Your other labor, flag to weave:
"a field Of blue you shall light with stars;
OF silk prepare you six milk white bars.
IT'LL with the crimson they lie between,
The goodly number shall be thirteen"
Then needle and scissors Betsey sought
with sklllful fingers the flag was wrought;
And it waved aloft in many fight,
Where the watchword rang for "God and Right"
Then the years went by, and Betseys soul
Had Hed ere the war-drum ceased to roll
And Betsey's daughter stood by the door
OF the little shop with the sanded floor.
"Give us more nsgs," the soldiers cried;
ave have naught but rags where the stars are dyed
with the blood Of foes, and the milk white bars
Are torn, like our breasts with ragged scars"
But the maiden said, "Do you know the Friends
They weave no banners for waribe ends.
~ can weave no hags that may wave in strife
Where brother is seeking brothers lfe."
Then silent the veterans turned away
From that quiet maid in the robe Of gray,
Who after them closed the heavy door
OF the little shop with the sanded floor
III.
Eighteen hundred and seyenty-siX:
In wild confusion the colors mix,
And the various hues Of the rainbow play
Over the city so grim and gray;
myriad banners they wave above
The calm old City Of Brothery Love,
And silk and satin and Quaker dress,
They meet nations joyousness.
The simple banner that Betsey Ross
Wrought in the days Of woe and loss
Feeble work Of a woman's hand,
Yet mighty symbol OF Freedoms land
Though bathed in blood in the years Of old,
Now bright with satin and bound with gold,
Waves over the land where equal, free,
Men Joy in the light Of Liberty.
Ali Quaker maiden. where then this,
Had no ear thrilled with a bullets hiss,
No brave heart dared in the dust 10 lie,
That the stars and stripes might float on high?
In the midst Of battle none dared TO drag
To the earth that torn and homespun hsg.
1t was borne aloft through blood and tears,
Till now, in the lapse Of hundred years,
In the City OF Penn It floats unfurled,
While the myriad nAgs Of Joyous world,
In the quiet hush when all quarrels cease,
Entwine their folds in the clasp Of Peace.
