How to Act.

When burglars are about the house the fol-
lowing rules should be observed:
l. Lie very STILL and draw the bed.clothes
over your head.
3 Sit up and listen
g. Pinch your wife, and tell her she ought to
be ashamed of herself
f. Tell her to go down stairs and see what s
the matter.
5. Call out for the servant to order the rob-
bers off the premises
6. If the burglars still persist in their nefari
Gus occupation, go on the landing, and ask
them if they know what they re about.
I. If they don't desist now, make your wife
tell them that in your opinion they are wicked
men, and that you have great mind to be
very angry.
8. Say you are very dangerous when you are
once reused.
g. Beg them to leave quietly, and obyiate the
necessity of disturbance In the house.
10. Ask them if they would'n mt like some
cold meat and pickles, and glass of beer and
pipe.
II. Let them have what they like, do what
they like and give them dollar each besides
When they've gone, bring out your pistols and
send for policeman
II. Go to bed again, and say that the only
reason why you didn't go down stairs at first,
punch all their heads shoot them, and take
them prisoners, was that you didn't want to
disturb the neighbors.

To Farmer Bows.

''Tm sick of hoeing in the corn
And following the plough;
Of working hard from dewy morn
Till eve with heated brow.
No longer will l stay to NOW
Orpitch the scented hay;
To the great city 1 will go,
Where wealth is gained by play"
Tut, tut, my man, hush up that song,
Let wisdom be your guide;
That dream of wealth may lead you wrong
And wreck on on the tide.
Sit down with me upon this stone;
Your team will take no harm,
If we aren't kings upon throne, a-
We're kings upon farm.
Gods healthy breezes round you blow,
His bird your music make,
And sweetest rest is yours, you know,
When night doth overtake.
The harvest will your toll repay;
Those fields of waving grain
Are growing through the sunny day
And in the summer rain.
Men work as you in shade,
Ger books and papers bent;
The work of life is easy made
Only by sweet content.
1t may be news my friend, to you,
But it's the truth tell;
All work is very hard to do
To those who do it well.
In speculation you must stand
The rough commercial shocks;
You may in safety reach the land,
You may land on the rocks.
Your pay is certain on the farm,
Though grain may not be sold,
In panics you feel no alarm
Wheat is as good as gold.
Pick up your whip, and bid your team
Drag on the noble plough,
And do not let that idle dream
Becloud your youthful brow.
In years to come when children roam,
You'll take them by the arm
And say: You'd better stay at home
Upon the good old farm"
The CLEAN of her eye was bright,
The CLEAN of her gold was brighter,
The first was beautiful sight,
The second beautiful sighter.
