A PICTURE.

The farmer sat in his easy chair,
Smoking his pipe of clay,
While his hale old wife, with busy care,
Was cleaning the dinner away.
swec; little GIRL with mild blue eyes,
On her grand pas knees catching flies.
The old man placed his hand on her head
With tear on his wrinkcd face.
He thought how often her mother dead
Had sat on the same, same place.
AS the tear stole down from his half shut eye,
" DON'T smoke" said the child, how it makes
you cry!''
The house dog lay stretched out on the floor,
Where the sun, after noon, used to steal
The busy old wife, by the open door,
Was turning the spinning wheel
And the old brass clock, on the mantle tree,
Had plodded along to almost three.
Still the Farmer sat in his easy chair,
While close 20 his heaving breast,
The mOistencd brow and the head so fair
OF his sweet grand child were at rest
His head bent down, on her soft hair lay
Fast asleep were they bo,h on that summer day

his guilt, and pursued and overlook him. not

letting HIS pursucfs know that he had found
the boy, permitted them to take him back to
