the Ohio farmers are grumbling:

cause it was charged that my bucolic
lamentations were doing an injury to the

us take the case of a real farmer, and see

He CAME TOO LATE.
BY DARD A. ROSS.

lie came too late the toast had dried
Before the fire too long;
The cakes were scorclied upon the side.
And everything was wrong.
She scorned to wait all night for one
Who fingered on his way,
And SO she took her tea alone,
And cleared the things away
He came too late at once he felt
The supper hour was DER;
Indifference in her calm smile dwelt,
She closed the pantry door;
The table-cloth had passed away
No dishes could he see;
She met him, and her words were gay
She never spoke of tea!
He came too late. subtle chords
OF patience were unbound:
Not by offence of spoken words,
But by the Sights that wound,
She knew he would say nothing now
That could the past repay;
She babe him go and milk the COW.
And eoldly turned away!
He came too late! the fragrant steam
OF tea had long since flown;
The flies had fallen in the cream
The bread was cold as stone;
And when, with word aud smile, he tried
His hungry state to prove,
She nerved her heart with woman's pride
Aud never deigned to move.
