years Of toll, had accumulated a tolerably
pretty pile of castings, owing, as he said,
principally 10 the fact that he didn't raise
much taters and onions, but right smart of
corn.
This farmer, hearing that good land was
much cheaper further south, concluded 10
move there. Accordingly, he provided his
eldest son with good horse, and suflieien-
cy of the needfn 10 defray his travelling and
contingent expenses, and Instructed him to
purchase two hundred acres of good land, at
the lowest possible price, and return imme-
dialely home. The next day Jeems started
for Arkansas, and after an absence OF some
six weeks, returned home.

When was sad with any care
With any grief, and came to thee,
Thou wouldst so sorrowiully share
The burden which was laid on me,
That forgot all other pain,
To soothe and make thee glad again.
And when stiove to tell thee aught
Beyond the reach of words, thy lace
Became picture of my thought,
And gave the shadow life and grace:
Until its beauty seemed to be,
That it was listened TO by thee.
With an increasing tenderness,
Een now thy spirit seems to grieve,
And vainly Struggle to confess
The change itself can scarce believe;
Still seeking. by some gentle art,
To teach my soul that VIC must part.
