THE FARMER.

Drive on, thou sturdy farmer,
Drive cheerfully DER the field,
The pleasure of a farmers life
No other life can yield.
Thou riseth with the morning sun,
To till the fruitful earth,
And when thy task is done,
Thou seek'st thy peaceful hearth.
Thou loves not the gaudy town,
With its tumultuous roar,
Plenty and peace thy iireside CROWN
And thou dost ask no more.
Monarchs in robes with crimson dyed,
Are low compared with thee;
They are pampered sons Of pride,
Thou art Gods nobility.
Go on, thou sturdy farmer,
Tread proudly on thy sod,
Thy proud goodly heritage,
Thou chosen son of God!

HINTS TO FARMERs.-Tomatoes make
excellent preserves.
Plants, when dropping, are revived by
few grains of camphor.
Pears are generally improved by graft
ing on mountain ash.
Turnips Of small size have double the
nutricious matter that large ones have.
Rats and other virmin are kept from
grain by sprinkle of garlic when pack
ing the sheaves.
Sulphur is valuable in preserving grapes
&C.. from insects.
Cold bathing, pure water, plain diet, a
clear conscience, and Il clean shirt, are
Indispensable to health and happiness.

a Horrible Dream.

WE once heard laughable joke which
henpecked husband got upon his wife.
He had borne her railing for many a long
year, till one morning, while she was
clustering away about wood, short of po-
tatoes, -four, etc., he remarked very pa
thetically:
"Jerush, I had dream last night-a
very queer one-and it gives me some
uneasiness. I dreamed that l was taken
sick and died."
"Well, if it was no more than that" !"
said the wife, "I wish it had been more
than dream"
"But this is not ALL" said the husband,
81 went to hell, and when l got there l
inquired of one of the imps for the Old
Devil himself, and was shown to his pres
ence. The old fellow recognised me at
at once, and said to me: Have you
come here to stay?' l told him had"
"Well, I can't have you here" said he,
"for if you stay, when Jerush dies she'll
come-and hell will be in an uproar all
the time"
Soon after the completion of the mar
rative of the dream there came shower
of culinary utensils about his head, which
obliged him to seek quarters elsewhere,
till his Jerush's wrath subsidized.

The deeply tinted blue.
And all around the forests lie,
