len years ago, an irishman-who, for
Short we will call St. Nick-bought three
acres OF land, for which he paid, with a
one-story new house thereon, four hundred
and NIFTY doliars-counting the tenement
three hundred and Seventy five, and the
lahd the Balance.
hiring pasture, he purchased a cow;
and with serene faith began to work in
his new-bought soil. II was worn out
poor pasture-it would not summer a
two-y -year-old steer, and the rent would
have been considered exhorbitant il over
four dollars year.
He has since added two acres of rocky
bush pasture, but With better soil than
his purchase, and in addition 10 the crops
raised on both, be annually hires SI5
worth OF pasturing, and buys S25 worth
of hay.
Last year, with his first purchase and
one acre of hls last under cultivation, he
raised (actual measure), of potatoes, one
hundred and ten bushels of corn. eighty
five bushels of ears of beans, three bush-
els and three pecks; of cabbages, seven
hundred heads besides twenty one bush>
els of oats; and little over one tor and
half OF clover hay.
He fattened two hogs, ore Of which
sold for II ) cents a pound, and weighed
three hundred and four pounds the other,
salted for himself, weighed three hundred
and one pounds. His dairy, now in
creased to two cows, brought him little
over 800 IN cash for the butter sold, and
S2l 43 for the two calves
His dozen hens (average) bought nearly
all the store supplies for a family of three,
besides paying for their food And in
addition to all this, he raised a calf, which
neighbor gave him, that enters upon lis
second summer, worth at least SlS.
All this from the labor Of man quite
advanced in years, and physically inca~
pahle of doing much more than half a
mans work.
He bought the house and land mostly
on credit has his debts now nearly paid;
has doubled the value of both his purcha-
ses; and when his labor lis over, will leave
his wife and daughter quite a little estate
worked on; Of his sterile, root-bUund' and

He commences this year with light

Absence or MIND.

DoCroR JOSIAH CAMPBELL, who liec,i
for many years ON the Western resery,-.
iu Ohio, was a skiilful physician, bur
withal one OF the most eccentric and All
sent-minded persons in the world. except
Margaret, his wife, and she was fully hia
equal. One SUMMER morning the Doc;l-
was caught ont in tremendous shower,
which drcnched him 20 the skin. 1t soor
cleared off, however, and Doctor JOSH
rode into his own yard, where he took the
dripping saddle from his horse and lei him
go adrift into the pasture. The saddle
he placed on a stout log Of wood which
was elevated some four feet from the
ground on two posta. where the doctor
had begun to build a platform TO dry his
peaches on.
After having got his saddle fxed so i:
would dry, he took the bride; and, put
ting the bits over the end of the log, he
stretched out tie reins, and hitching them
to the horn Of the saddle, went in 10
change his wet clothes and get breakfast.
Josiah, Jr., and Margaret, Jr, were away
from home on visit, and so the two Sc
niors sat down to the morning meal. -
When they were about half through, jim
Atwood, farmer who lived about eipbt
miles distant, came in, telling the doctor
lie wished he would 60 over to his house,
as he reckOned be might be wanted over
there, and then went off to the village in
hurry, after some necessary ''fxins."
When the doctor finished his meal, he
took his saddle bags and out he went into
the yard, where he deliberately mounted
his saddle and set out In imagination
for Jim Atwuod's.
For lung time he rode ON in silence;
with his eyes intently liked on Buchan'a
Practice, which lay open before him At
length he began to feel the fierce rays Of
midday sun, and on looking up from
his book he discofered hou5e close by
him, upon which lie sung OUT Justify for

Aunt Margaret, who had been for the
last two hours very busy in the garden,
soon made her appearance with pitcher
of milk, and after the thirsty stranger had
taken a long draught, they entered into
an animated conversation, the doctor
lauhehing out ihto gapturous praises about
lhe SCENERY Vi the pace, the neaIneSS CT
the buildings, the fine orchard of peach
and apple trees and the lady, who had
caught glimpse of tie saddle bags made
great many inquiries about the health
of the neighborhood, etc.
The Doctor finally took his leave Of the
lady, assuring her thst lie would call on
his return and have some further conver,
sation with her, as she reminded him so
much of his wife, who, he was sure, would
be very happy to make her acquaintance:
The lady turned to enter the house, and
the doctor had just gathered up The teihs,
when Jim Atwood dashed up to the gate
with his horse all in Iather of foam.

MIDSUMMER.

Through all the long midsummer day
The meadow Sides are sweet with hay;
/ seek the coolest sheltered seat,
Just where the field and forest meet
Where grow the pine trees tall and bland,
The ancient oak austere and grand,
The frfngy roots and pebbles fret
The ripples of the rivulet.
I watch the mowers as they go
Through the grass white sleeved row;
With even strokes their scythes they swing,
In time their merry whetstones ring;
Behind the nimble youngsters run
And toss the thick swaths in the sun;
The cattle Craze, while, warm and still,
Slopes the broad pasture, basl1s the hill,
And bright, when summer breezes break,
And green wheat crinkles like lake.
Sweet woodland music sinks and swells,
The brooklet rings its tinkling bells;
The swarming insects drone and hum,
The partridge beats his throbbing drum;
The squirrel leaps among the boughs
And chattcrs in the leafy house;
The oriOle flashes by, and look!
Into the mirror of the brook,
Where the vain blue-bird trims his coat,
Two tiny feathers fail and fioat.
as silently. as tenderly,
The dawn of peace descerds on me;
Oh, this is peace! have no need
OF friend to talk, of book to read,
A dear Companion here abides;
Close to my thrilling heart He hides;
The holy silence is His voice;
lie and listen, and rejoice,
