THE FARMER ON A suMMER,s EVE.

Smoking his pipe of clay,
While his hale old wife, wishbnsy care,
Was clearing the dinner away.
A sweet little girl, with fine blue eyes,
On her grand-pa's knee was catching nes.
Inc old man placed his hand on her head,
With q tear on his wrinklcd face,
He thought how often her mother, dead,
Had sat in the same, same place,
AS the tear stole down from his haif.shuteyc,
Don't smoke said the child, show it makes yot
cry
The house dog lay stretched out on the door,
l Where the sun, afternoon, used to steal /:
The busy old wife, by the open door,
Was turning the spinning wheel
And the old brass clock on the mantel tres
Had plodded along to almost three

Still the tarms.sat in his easy chair,
While close ohis heaying breast,
The moistened brow and the head 50 fair,
