Sit down, Eileen, and listen,
| Here's q paper Tim Mccain
Gave me after mass this morning,
IT'S from Norah's brother Dan,
And has all the news from Ireland,
And from Cavan, too, what's more,
And all the fairs, the crops and markets,

How the old names cling to places,

At a meeting i'll Belturbet,

For the Reilly's all had learning;

The Bradys and the Lynches,
| Hold their own across the seas.
For we left them all behind us,
| And they re there in dozens still,
Whist! they held a demonstration,
And q grand one at Cootchill,
Hand in hand the priests and people,
Faithi it warns the blood like wine;
Ills q sign the fires are burning,

They were lonesome, though they cheered u:
With fond blessings on our way.
Here's a session of the ''Union,"
Held in Cavan-in the chair,
One named Sanderson-a Colonel

Lived at Burnham castle, often
Did watch him when boy,
When the fields were green about me,
And the world held naugh but joy.
Well, there's many change in Cayan,
Since our chidhood's happy days,
And few we find to greet us now,
In pleasant Ballyhaise,
And from Buffers Bridge, the neighbors
Are scattered far and wide,
And no one there would know us now,

CARP CULTURE.
The Profits to BE Derived From Ffsh
Pond OH the Farm.

Pond OH the Farm.
The carp fish is native of China. Ac-
cording to missionaries who penetrated
the interior of China at an early date,
multitudes of these fish assembled the
rivers and into the rice fields through
the bitches used to flood them, and there
deposited their eggs, where they soon
hatched During the month of May the
people bar the river in various places
and with mats and hurdles collect the
eggs and young fish that are just
Matched, put them in vases and offer
them for sale. Merchants come from
other provinces to get them for individ-
ual ponds. They were imported into
Germany and Austria between 400 and
600 years ago. Carp have been caught
ut Frankfort, in Germany, that weighed
rs pounds. They are very prolific
fish. A five-yedr-old female has laid
100000 eggs. ThereNare three varieties
of carp-scale, parti-scale and scaleless
carp. They all have the same form. In
buying carp to stock ponds always be
sure you buy of a reliable breeder that
has pure-bred fish, as $2 to $5 more on
q hundred fish or on dozen spawners
does not amount to any thing in start
ing pond, because if you get pure
bred fish IN the start, and take proper
care, you can keep them pure. There
are some breeders selling fish that are
mixed with gold fish, catfish, chubs,
etc. They are worthless at any
price. Not over one farmer
in one hundred but can have fresh fish
in season if he will. Some say it will
be overdone. Look at the large cities
to supply with fresh fish. German carp
will command from 12 to Is cents per
pound wholesale, now, in our cities.
Can you make one-third of this clear on
taken in their carep Carp can be raised
at one-third the price of poultry, by
actual test. You can raise in a one
acre pond 1000 pounds of carp, with
feeding 500 worth of feed. By expert
ment of reliable carp culturists near
our place, one ton of mill feed will pro.
duce 1900 pounds of fish. At the small
sum of 8 cents a pound, this will leave
you the neat profit of 1924 an acre, to say
nothing of three or four hundred doll
lars worth of small fish over enough to
keep in your pond. Spring is the time
to buy 1lsh and make ponds, but fall VIII
do quite as well. The flesh of carp is
nice, juicy and sweet, as good for table
use as any fish caught in northern lakes
and rivers, have eaten of white fish
the famous black bass and all Others
and carp is as good as any of them
Some are publishing that carp tastes
muddy. Hyou starve the fish in mud
hole and compel them to eat mud, yor
could not expect any thing else, any
more than if you feed COW rotter
apples and expect her to give good mill
aud make good butter. Ii you attent
the carp they will pay you we'll Carr
thrive best in shallow. warm-wate
ponds, and if they have good forag'
and little feed, will gain to T.
pounds in single season. Carp do no
get their teeth till one year old, ant
after this they grow very fast.-Cor

Randolph's good fortune had begun.
Taking leave of his friends, he came
over to London, found Mr.. Brown and
made such friend of that gentleman
that he undertook personally to look
after the matter which Mr.. Thompson
had recommended to him. The ex-
agent, whose Endorsement was needed,
happened at the time to be in Nice, and
Mr.. Brown went thither with Randolph
and secured the requisite signatures.
Then he accompanied him to Bour-
deaux. Alas for the best laid schemes
of mice and men! The firm of X. An
imas Freres was bankrupt and all their
assets and affairs in the hands of the
syndic. The elder brother of the firm
was dead, and there was but little hope
of getting any thing out of the surviving
brother, who, indeed, did not bear the
best of names.
Mr.. Brown looked pensive, but told
Randolph not to despair. eff he's an
honest man we won't get cent, of
course; but, as he seems to be slippery
fellow, there's chance for it yet" He
called ON the syndic, consulted a
notary or two in town, and then sent
M. Animas message to call upon him
that night at his hotel. M. Animas
came, sallow little Gascon, with
purple gills and an uneasy eye. He de-
MED every thing, of course, and said
that anyhow he was totally insolvent-
couldn't pay ten centimes in the hum
dred.
EXACTLY" said Mr.. Brown. sYour
debts amount to 100000 francs. You
have given in assets to the amount OF
3,500,000 francs. You still have in your
possession the sum of 100000 francs,
property of the late Confederacy, Brown,
Gunter and all that firm. This money
you have not returned to the syndic as
part of your assets, but are trying to
hide away. Now, M. Animas, it is a

and stand trial for fraud besides"
M. Animas wriggled and turned, ant
asked for time; for a month, aweek, an.

"Not a moment" said Mr.. Brown
,, decidedly.
,, "But my children, my wife," pleade,

Il makes one shudder TO look back
upon them
"When the cat the rat and Lowell, our dog.
Ruled all England under the hog
as the country people said, when they
turned against Richard LII. in their
horror and Indignation at the murder
of the little princes in the Tower. In
this feeling Sir Henry Wyatt fully
shared. He longed to overturn the
cruel tyrant, and bring back the red
rose of Lancaster. Many of the great
men in England were of the same
mind. But their first attempt failed;
Buckingham, their leader, was defeat
ed at Shrewsbury, while Sir Henry
Wyatt was imprisoned in the Tower
and left to starve.
Now think what that means. Think
what it must have been to find himseh
shut up in that grim old fortress, be-
hind stone walls, eleven feet thick.
When he looked through the iron
barred window of his prison at the
battlemented wall beyond, and heard
his brave heart must have sunk like

As the dull, dark wintry days closed
in, the pains of hunger grew sharper,

the ''hog" as the country<people called
him in their hatred an ( contempt, in-
tended to starve him TO death. But
that lofty wall of stone could not keep
out the dark-ringed tabby cat, who
loved him so well.
Now, you must fancy here In the
frosty winter nights, when cats love to
roam, creeping, unnoticed, over those
dreary roofs, watching the iron-barred
windows, until she caught sight of her
masters face. Well, cats at least can
climb. She got upon his window-sill,
and how she must have purred in the
delight of finding him again! Sir Hen
ry was SO thin and changed, that even
his cat knew that he was starving. So
she went to the nearest dovecote and
caught pigeon, which she brought in
her mouth and dropped through the
iron bars of the window.
With what gratitude the poor fam
ishing prisoner must have devoured i'll

so she kept him alive.
Think of her unwearied loie, for she
visited him every day, briaging the
birds she had caught, until le was set
free, when Richard was slaia on Bos-
worth field.
Perhaps you wonder how acat could

A Species of Hypocrisy of Which Man

A Species of Hypocrisy of Which Many
Good People Are Guilty.
When man is called upon to make
a speech at any gathering, social or
public, it is always "entirely unexpeet-
ed" He has never imagined that he
was to be asked to speak out in meet
ing, oh, no! And for that very reason
he has sat up and burned up the mid
night gas, the night before the affair,
concocting a few extemporaneous re-
marks which will be neat and to the
point. You have done this, gentle
reader, haven't youp and-tell it not in
Gath-we too, have been there. There
Is nothing so hard to write as a neat
impromptu oration, something that
will sound easy, natural and convivial.
We have often begun a dozen times
before the extemporaneous ideas flowed
smoothly from the penpoint, and
then we usually began in
the time-honored manner OF
being overpowered by an honor so ten
tirely y,unexpected, or else by assuming
a jocular air and saying that after writ
ing brilliant speech we had entirely
forgotten it. Then when you are asked
to speak, you say: .'Oh, really, you
know. Don't ask me. IP Why, never
made a speech in my life," etc. You
must be careful not to keep it up too
long, or they will not insist, and then
your literary toll of the night before will
be loves labor lost. And after you have
finished, people willsay: "What clever
man Mr.. So-and-So is to speak so grace
fully when he came so entirely unpre-
pared" Then you will say disparaging-
| ly: ''Oh, mere trine. Just few Off
hand observations. / know that 1 am
no speech-maker". And you will be q
colossal hypocrite, and glory in your
hypocrisy. = THE Rambler.
