When you see a fellow-mOrtal
Without fixed and fearless views,
Hanging on she skirts of others,
Walking in their cast-Of shoes,
BOwing low to wealth or favor,
With abject, uncovered head,
Ready to retrace or waver,
Willing to be drove or led;
Walk Yourself with firmer bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders back,
Show YOUR spine has nerve and marrow
just the thing which he must lack
A stronger word
Was never heard
In sense and tone,
Than this, backbone.
When YOU see a theologian
Hugging close some ugly creed,
Fearing to reject or question
DOgmaS which his priest may read,
Holding back all noble feeling,
Choking down each manly view;
Caring more for forms and symbols
Than to know the Good and True;
Walk Yourself with tiTmer bearing,
Throw YOUR moral shoulders back,
Show your spine has nerve and marrow
Just the things which his must lack.
A stronger word
Was never heard
In sense or tone,
Than this, backbone.
When you see a politician
Crawling through contracted holes,
Begging for some fat position,
In the ring or at the polls,
With no sterling manhood in him,
Nothing stable, broad or sound,
Destitute Of pluck or ballast,
Double-sided all around;
Walk yourself with firmer bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders back,
Sh4xs- -r,irn hos and q
just the things which his must lack.
\ stronger word

In sense and tone,
Than this, backbone.

The text IS worth a mine Of gold;
For many men most sadly lack

DICKENS CRICKET OF THE HEARTH.
Mr.. !. II. Liddons, who knew Charles
Dickens from b0yhODd. SAYS that me
found himself. very late one night. at a
railway station near Norwich. Scarce
had l set foot on the platform" " he
writes. '-wheu I was accusted by q tail
young man of the yOemau type who
had come TO fetch the letter bag. DO
YOU wish for q bed Sirs' asked he. 'OI
are YOU going on ? 1 told him that l
was bound for Norwich, Two miles of.
You cannot get there, Sir, till later i'm

cept bed and supper. if possible, at
the hostelry close at hand. ] entered
the kitchen. where a bright fire was
burning, and sat myself before it. There
was a kettle on the hob singing a du-
ct with a cricket. \ large terrier came
and crouched at my feet. There was
nothing strange in this, But presently
l heard clock. clock behind me. and
turning round I beheld Tiily SlOwbOv i'm
pair of wooden clogs. The idea dawn
ed upon me that I was in some OF the
dramatis persOnB of the Cricket on the
Hearth Supp0Sition soon grew into
conviction. for in a few minutes q pret-
ty little round woman came in and in
formed me that supper was ready in an
adjoining parlOr. Dot. 10y JOve =
more than muttered. I ate my supper
and went TO bed. Ny host aroused me
at T:3O O'Clock, gave me a cup Of coffee
and bore me off in his little chaisa tC
Norwich. On the way We passed a fine
old-fashiOnedh house. Who lives there ?
l asked. That, sir. was John Peerybiu

he must be Mr.. Dickens father-in-law.
He Is, sir, and Mr.. Dickens do often come
down here; and he has been and took of
me and all nay family and put us into
