Fathers Growing Old John!

DYJ. Q. A. WOOD.
Our fathers growing cd Johnl
His eyes are growing dim,
And years are on his shoulders laid,
A heavy weight for him.
And you and are young and hale,
And each a stalwart man,
And we must make his load as light
And easy as we can.
He used tn take the brnnt, Johni
At cradle and the plow,
And earned our porridge by the sweat
That trickled down his brow;
Yet never heard we him complain,
Whater his toll might be,
Nor wanted ere a welcome seat,
Upon his solid knee.
And when our boy-strength oame, Johni
And study grew each lin b,
He brought MS to the yellow field,
To share the toll with him.
But lie went foremost in the swath,
Tossing aside the grain,
Just like the plow that heaNe the soil,
Or ship that sheers the nam.
Now we must lead tho van, joint
Through weather foul aud fair.
And let the old man read and doze,
Aud tit his easy chair.
And he II not mi nd ii John, you know,
At eve to tell us DER
Those brave old days of British times,
Our grandslres and tho war.
heard you speak of Ma'am, Johnl
'Tis gOspe what yon say,
That. caring for the like of us,
Has turned her head So greyi
Yes John. l do remember We'll
when neighbors called her vain,
And when her hair was long and like
cleaning sheaf of grain.
Her lips were cherry red. Johnl
Her cheeks were rouI and fair,
Aud like arippened peach they swciled
Against her wavy hair;
Her step fell lightly as the leaf
From of the summer tree,
And all day busy at the wheel
She sang to you and me.
She had buzom arm, John
That welded well the rod,
Whenever with wiliul step our feet
The path forbidden trod;
But To the heaven of her eye
We never looked in vain.
And ever more cur yirldidg cry
Brought down her tears like rain
But this is long agone, Johnl
And we are what we are,
And little heed we. day hy day,
Her fading cheek and hair.
And when beneath her faithful breast
The tides no longer stir,
'Tis then John, We the most shall feel
We had no friend like her.
Sure there can be no harm, Johnl
THUS speaking softly ore
The blessed names of those. ere long
Shall welcome It's no more.
Nay hide it not. for why shouldst thou
An hOr est tear dsovnl
Thy heart one cay will lighter be
Remembering it has Gwn.
Yes, fathers growing old, John!
His eyes are getting dim.
And Mothers treadIg softly down
The deep decent with him.
But you and are young and hale,
Aud each stllWart man.
And We must make their path as smooth
Andeasy as we can.

duty of those whose accounts arc overdue

dobt and keep their names names rs far as
possible off the store books, if they wo'd
be independent and happy. We are firm

never 90 in debt; certainly thcv should
not buy on credit anything they can do
without. Credit bcgets extravaganza, and
extravaganza is responsible for much Of the
distress that prevails ia the world.

work erecting residences, shops, offices, &c The
company oner great inducements to mechanics
ana others, wishing to locate. The town, from
its central location, being the geographical CEN
.er Vi BOURBON county, must always command
an extensive trade and soon become an impor-
tant town IN southern Kansas as IL is surronnd- :
ed by as GOOD FARMING LANDS as were
ever titled by the husbandman.
,CLAIMS.-Good and desirable claims can be
obtained IN close proximity to town and timber.
Marmlton Is splendidly and must be health
FULLY located, being on high rolling prairie
1t has beautiful streams of water washing its
northern and southern limits. An excellent
STEAM SAW AND GRIST MILL
has lately been erected. and is now in successful
operation.
CLIMATE.-Marmiton is situated in latitude
81 81, and longitude, II > AZ west from Wash
lngton, The Thermometer does not indicate a
nlgner degree OF heat than ninety, and never in
the winter gets below zero. Farmers and Me-
ehanlcs hnd no inconvenience in doing outdoor
% WORK IN the winter season. Cattle, hogs, sheep,
etc., DO well on the prairie during the entire
year. There is always pleasant breeze in the
hottest days of summer, which makes the heat
less oppressive than in many of the northern
States. Lots will be sold at exceedingly low
figures to persons desirous of building.
