TO FARMER BOYS.
BY SIiORTFELLOw.

I'm sick OF hoeing in the corn
And following the plow;
or working hard from dewy morn
Till eve, with heated brow;
No longer will stay to NOW
Or pitch the scented hay,
To the great city will go,
Where wealth is gained by play"
Tut, tut, my man hush up that sohg;
Let wisdom be your guide
Tha, dream Of wealth alt I'm may lead you wrong
Sit down with me upon this stone,
Your team will take no harm;
If we ain't kings upon a throne,
We're kings upon farm.
Gods healthy breezes round you blow,
His birds your music make,
And sweetest rest, is yours you know,
When night doth overtake.
The harvest will your toll repay;
Those field of waving grain
Are growing through the sunny day
And in the summer rain.
Men work as hard 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 tits the truth tell,
All WORK is very hard to do
To those who doit 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 panic you feel no alarm,
Wheat Is rs good rs gold.
Pick up your whip, and bid your team
Drag on the noble plow,
And do not let an idle dream
Becloud your youthful brow.
n rS Il he q
You'll take them by the arm
And say, "You d better stay at home
Upon the good old farm

WHAT WILL SUSAN sAY9

Two suitos came for Susan's hand,
Appealing to her sire,
Spoke OF their loves and breadth Of land,
Before hickory FIRE:
The old man heard them long and well,
In his old fashioned way.
o Aud looking where the nshes fell.
Thought "What would Susan say?'
Tha one toll of large estate,
or fields and acres wide,
Aud Susan was the Enlightened mate
He would claim for his bride.
The old man eyed this snppliant vain,
With gems Of brightest raw,
And looking in the fire again.
Thought "What will Susan saya"
His sinews showed no signs of toll
Nor Of the wealth acquired,
No proof that from the teeming soil,
Or labor else attircd:
s'Wealth might take wings and doing 30
H Might speedy fly away"
And the old man gazing in the glow.
Thought SWAT will Susan say"
The other had but his sSod heart,
The stout arm ut his Side,
And setting all thiNss else apart.
Claimed Susan for his bride;
The old man feared that these might tire.
Life was Q lifelong way,
Aud looking in the hickory fire,
Thought what, what will Susan Say?"
Ye. there was work for all to do,
And more homes yet must grow,
And men should their own fortunes hew,
While 3traSgling here below;
He'd built theroof above his head,

Thought Of the dear wife long sinre dead,

And conncd the matter Ger,

He dreamed The loves ofyears aback,
81 Long ere his locks were gray:
Traced in the fire his weary track.
And-"What would Susan sayi"
so Susan came and stood beside
This sire OF many y ears;
She was his care. and love, and pride.
For her his hopes and fears:
Aud by the hearth upon whose stone
Her life grew bright and gay,
He took her hand aud in low tone.
Askcd-"What does Susan say7"
And Susan then. amid them all,
Her suitorS and her sire,
There made her choice without recall.
As they gazed in The fire.
Twas for the one whose highest aim
Was but to work his way,
And the answer with welcome came,

"PERMrssIos FROM THE OFFrcE."-An
amusing incident, too good to be lost,
occurred at The Niccoliet a day or two
since. A verdant couple from the vicin-
ity of Winona, who had never Travelled
outside of the limits of their little native
town, fell in love, were married, and on
their bridal tour visited Minneapolis
Arriving on the evening train, the turtle
doves took rooms at the Nicollet. Before
making his toilet next morning, the
young husbands eye rested upon the
rul % and regulations" tackled upon the
door, and for the purpose of posting him
self in the requirements of hotel life, he
proceeded to read them.
Judge Of his surprise, when. after
careful study, he learned that " washing
in the rooms is prohibited, except per
mission is obtained at the Office !" Tie
Young man looked about him. Upon
'le opposite side of the room were wash

saries for performing the usual additions,
but before his face and eyes was the rule
:" prohibiting washing in the rooms !"
What was to be done? Bride and groom
we're at a loss to know. They certainly
coulc not think of going to breakfas,
without q washing, and it was rather
i~Dconvenient to go to the river for that
purpose. As he reflected upon the awk-
wardness Of the situation, he became i'm
pressed with the idea that something
must be done, and remembering the sol
emn promise he had made to the justice
of the peace who, for the triAing sum Of
seventy five cents, united them in The
holy bands of matrimony the day pre-
vious, he determined to rise up in his
strength and represent the case in proper
terms cat the Office" He did so. Ap-
preaching the desk, be beckoned to the
clerk /: " Look q here r. said he. " that
ERE kaird that's stuck on to the door says

BILE and resolutions were nnanimousl,
adopted:
Whereas. In order to bring about The

determined to invite all black men who
have opened their eyes to the dishonorable
purposes Of Radicalism, and who believe
that the white men are their truest and
most useful friends, to form themselves
into clubs,
Whereas, from the wicked spirit in
which the Radical party is conducting
the present political contest, bad and
reckless men of said party may attempt
to do violence to the well-disposed and

themselves together for the IMPOSE of
assisting the white men in their efforts to
bring about good feelings between the
