PULLING HARD AGAINST THE TIDE.

In the world I've gained my knowledge,
And for it have had to pay;
Tho ! never went to college,
Yet I've heard the poets say:
Life is like mighty river,
Rolling on from day to day
Men are vessels launched upon it,
Sometimes wrecked and cast away.
Many a bright, good hearted fellow,
Many noble minded man,
Finds himself in water shallow
Then assist him if you can.
Some succeed at every turning,
Fortune favors every scheme;
Others, too, though more deserving,
Have to pull a ainst the stream.
If the wind is in your favor.
And you've weathered every squall,
Remember those who luckless labor,
Never get fair winds at all;
Working hard, contented, willing,
Struggling thro' life's ocean wide
Not friend and not a shilling
Pulling hard against the tide.
Don't give way to foolish sorrow,
Let this keep you in good cheer:
Brighter days may come tomorrow
Ii you try and persevere.
Darkest nights will have morning,
Tho the sky be overcast;
Longest lanes must have turning,
And the tide will turn at last.

whisper sentiment or agriculture, any
thing else he has mind to, in her left ear,
while Pi.ebe Matilda blrshingy lsns her
self with her straw jockey, and wishes with
her inmost heart that Samuel Augustus
would cork up for while, aud ask her to
have some ice cream. There are too many

A COOP STORY.-Once upon a time
there lived among the hills of an adjoin-
ing county an old gentleman, whose entire
personal and real estate consisted of Il wife,
"a well ventilated los cabin, half an acre
Of not very productive land, and violent
fondncss tor what is sometimes called
tangled" whiskey. One spring morning
the owner of this property was struck with
the conviction that his land must be plow-
ed. But he had DO horse, and found it
impossible to borrow one. Nevertheless,
the ground must be broken up, horse or
no horse, and it was finally determined
that the sold woman should hitch up the
old man, and hold the handle and drive,
while he drew the Plow. This was ac-
cordingly done, and the plow went brave
Iy on, until the plowshare ran under a
root, and the team was brought to dead
halt. But the ''critter'' had become
warmed up by this time, and as the old
lady gave him rap with the reins and
cried out ''git up there!" he threw his
weight upon the harness with a heavy
jerk, which snapped the traces off short,
and he shot forward against a fence, his
head striking against the end of rail
with the force of maui. ''Thundera-
tion, old woman!" he exclaimed, as be
wiped the blood and dirt fIon his eyes,

drag all his days out in blindness and
helplessness Sight and strength returned

things besides bodily ailments. His theo-
ry of loves weakening power-his fancy
that woman was frail, fickle, foolish, un-
reasoning thing, to be sternly kept in hand
like an unbruken colt, and his shame of
yielding to any gentleness or softness, had
quite left him. lie saw in his fair young
wife the helpmate heaven had given him,
thanked it for the gift, and refused her
nothing of that need of tenderness and
love which all good women long for, with
out which ma rried life is TO them more
miserable than any lonely lot with dreams
of what might have been in it.
