LrAvIsG THE FARM FOR 4 FoRTUNE-Doe-
sticks saws young men in the West, when they
get too lazy to plow, drive oxen and dig pota-
toes, Invariably either go to study Law, Phys
ic, or Divinity, or emigrate to New York to
make their fortunes. Hence the inundatlon
of tTo-and six penny pettifoggers, the aoun-
dant crop of innocent looking juvenile Il ID. $
and the army of weak eyed preachers, whose
original simplicity is too deep rooted to be
overgrown by the cares of after life The por-
ton of our country known as ''the !" est
sends forth scores of these misguided lnno-
cents, who, had they stayed at home, might
have grown Hp into tolerable farmers, or even
been cultivated into respectable mechanics,
but who, being thrown into the whirl of city
life, degenerated into puny clerks, with not
half salary enough to pay for their patent
leather boots.

nNDER THE MOON

II,a or the moan ss the twilight breeze,
-RiDuIes the water in pulses OF light
We stand on the bridge by the sycamore uees
And list to the voices that come tnro .ns
Under the. elm row, misty AMI dark, tnighe
Loves sweet laughter rings from the asnk-
Sprinkled with many a dim red lamp,
Stretching away through the distant asmP,
Hark, mid the foliage hiossomed Win June
Tinkles serenade under the meon'
Under the moon in the village street,
IosSippinZ groups IN the shadow meet
seated at dnsky docTvays there,
Red Tipped 10 aidens taste OF the arr
Whispering now OF their lovers eyes,
BIue as the beautifutSutnmeC skies
Whisperiny now of their batteries sweet
a, autumn fruitage dropped in the heat,
Under the cadence, trembling tune,
Soft a. their pulses, under the moon
Under the rnoen by tascooI sea- shore
The wiri walks over its spacious hoor,
Courting the snowy -bossoEned sails
Daintily dipping through azure wales
Over the crisp foam bearing along
The musins- mariners midn ght song;
As. by tho Iising helm with nands
Lit in the compass lamp he STANDS,
Thinking of those he left at noon,
sad on he green shore under the moon
Under the moon by the dusty road
Pace we on to the old abode
The Ii-tIess spIendor floating fails
Over its sycaInor'd roof and walls,
Fearing into the easement nook
Piled with many n brown old book
Spirits are they whose pages teem,
With thoughtful ditty and pictured dream,
Shirts amid whose silence soon
tOur own shall siumber under the moon
