a Fowl THAT won n Dot,I,.

A singular story Is told OF a gallant
cock whose moral influence at a critl-
cal moment during the battle Of st.
Vincent helped to save a British man
of-war from the hands of the enemy.
The fowl in question formed part OF
the live stock Of the Marlborough, n
vessel which had suffered so severely
that her captain was considering the
ACCESSIBILITY Of striking his flag. The
ship was entirely dismasted, while the
chief officers had been carried below
severely wounded. and the crew. with
out anybody TO cheer them up. were
beginning to grow sullen under the
heavy fire Of the enemy, to which they
were hardly able to respond.
At this emergency a shot struck the
eoop In which the fowls were confined.
The only surviving occupant, a cock,
finding himself at liberty, 6uttered up
and perched himself on the stump Of
the mainmAst and surveyed the scene
OF carnage around him. Then. tapping
bis wings In defiance, he began to crow
vociferously. He was answered by
three hearty and celebrating cheers
from the crew, who all had a good
laugh. and. with spirits thus renewed.
continued the action with a vlgor that
lasted until a turn In the battle rescued
them from their tight position.-Wash-

rhere seems TO be no way In which an hon
est. modest man
Can get his name In clear. cold type, for
everyone 10 scan.
We've got 10 cut UP some mean trick, or
papers quite refuse
To notice what we're doing, for they say
II isn't ''news."
A man may kiss his wife. and yet the pa
pers never tell;
But let him kiss his neighbours wife, and,
horrorl how they yell.
We all may do the proper thing for years
and years. and yet
Receive not half the notice that a crooked
chap Will get.
Just let an honest citizen be sober as nc
may,
There are no headlines to declare Jones
isn't drunk to-dayi'
But let him dare imbibe until he makes
himself "a brute"
And all the papers viii remark that Zones
Is on a toot!'
A thousand bank cashiers remain still
faithful TO their trust,
They never skip to Canada. and cause their
bank 10 bust"
Yet papers never tell us OF these noble men
and true,
But give whole columns to the ones that
skip the tra-la-loo.
Ten thousand servant girls refrain from
using Kerosene
To start the kitchen fire. even though the
wood Is green:
But just because one tries II. and is scat
tered galley-west.
Her name gets In the papers far ahead OF
all the rest.
So when buy paper, I'm aware I'll find
dearth
or news about the doings OF the better

"Ay like as not if he has the pluck" he
snapped back, cycling and lodging tie muz-
zle OF the hrcarm. Faith, III do my best
if We will honor my calling and play that
damn thing to some other point. Have we
murdered all but myself?"
"Nay, We skewer," / answered, almost
amused by his fear and amazed at the way
it had overcome the fumes Of the liquor in
him. II but gave the crew Il rest from duty;
it is their watch below, and If We dare call
me murderer for taking and defending my
own, I'll act the part in truth"

he calculated, but | cut him short.
"Whatc'er | am, ye are my prisoner. Now
take your choice betwixt irons and parole;
the hold or this cabin. Speak fast! have
business on hand"
"a prisoner only, is it:" he exclaimed
quickly, sitting bolt upright and raising his
hand aloft. Then, on the honor of an
Irish gentleman, | take oath not 10 sneak
from We or bear arms" he answered, as
though relieved by the terms | offered
"And bide in the cabin until allowed the
decky' / added.
THAT same" he answered
"And care for the wounded lad?"
ooh, ay oh, ay! an now"
"Then It's ten to one that before long We
will be back among your fellows by ex-
change" | interrupted, being in a hurry.
Bring the boy TO his feet, and twill be
money in your pocket; but no more liquor"
SO saying, picked up the bottle and took
a long draught Of what proved to be good
whisky. Twas a well-carned and sorely
needed dram, but a mighty uncivii way Of
taking it, inasmuch az had just cut him off
his own grog. The act may have been the
means Of tanning the spark of malice held in
his nature-a spark that glowed, smodered,
and burst into flame when least expected.
The cunning in his brain made up for the
lack of sinews in his body, for when / turned
from locking up the bottle and sliding the
key into my pocket, noticed a malevolence
in his face; but he shifted his eye from me,
and, getting TO his feet with an effort,
walked unsteadiy across the cabin and bent
over Ames.

THERE'S MEAT ON THE BONE.

Isuggested by the Return OF Prosperity :
There's meat on the bone Hail. kindred:
hail. brother:
Hall. stranger. who furnishes. friendless.
alone
Here's greeting and welcome. here's room
for another;
Here's festal board tempting. here's meat
on the bone.
Draw near and be happy. to-day and to-
morrow.
Let the winds howl without. let them
rayage and moan.
Away, carking care, and away. gnawing
sorrow,
Here is solace. replction. here Is meat on
the bone.
In the dark days OF famine. when life
seemed 10 flicker.
When hope had departed and charity
flown.
How splenetic sat ye. 90 bewsil and 20
bicker,
And 70 sigh for a taste OF the meat on
the bone.
We have scattered the shadows and chill OF
the cleaning.
Your wolfish and auerulous fancIes DER
thrown
Give heed TO young Gladness. come join In
the homing,
There Is fat in the roundup. there is meat
on the bone.
Ho. wassaii, bumper to life and good Nv
ing.
a fig for earth's cares. for past weeping
and groan.
Here's revel. here's guerdon OF health and
Thanksgiving.
Here's hail 10 you ALL for there's meat
on the bone.
So here's 10 the reign OF the flock and the
fatting,
Here's hail 20 the people OF every zone.
Ye have won in the grapple. grim poverty
battling.
And there's juciest. sweetest OF meats on
the bone.
