fact is, had consumption, and l knew
it. hadn't any other expectation than
that in year or so Id have to give up
my engine and soon after that part from
my wife and little ones | don't know
that ought to say it, but the thought
of leaving my engine gave me about as
much trouble as the idea of parting
from my family. People kept advising
me to drink blood, and cited alleged
cures to me by the dozen. But there
was something abhorrent to me about
that kind OF beverage, and l couldn't
go to it. Two or three times | made an
effort to down some of it, but twas no

SELF-RELIANCE,

BY thine own souls law learn TO live,
And if men thwart thee take no heed,
And if men hate thee have no care;
Sing thou thy song. and do thy deed,
Hope thou thy hope, and pray thy prayer,
And claim no crown they will not give,
l,or bays they grudge thee for thy hair.
Keep thou thy soul .sworn steadfast oath,
And to thy heart be true thy heart;
What thy soul teacher learn to know,
And play out thine appointed part;
And thou shalt reap as thou shalt sow;
Nor helped nor hindered in thy growth,
To thy full stature thou shalt grow.
Fix on the futures goal thy face.
And let thy feet be lured to stray
Nowither, but be swift to run,
And nowhere tarry by the way,
Until at last the end is won,
And thou mayst look back from thy place
And see thy long days journey done.
