FARMER JOHN.

Home from his Journey Farmer John
Arrived this morning safe and sound.
His black coat off, and his old clothes on,
Nov I'm myself says Farmer John;
And he thinks, 'I'llloo around.
Up leaps the dog; "Get down you pup
Are you so glad you would eat meiup p 4s
The old COW lows at the gate, to greet him;
The horses prick up their ears to meet him;
''Wel, well, old Bay r
Ha, ha, old Grayl
Do you not get good food when / IN away!
You haven't rbv' says Farmer John;
The cattle are looking round and sleek;
Tho colt is going to be roam,
And n beauty, too how he has grown!
Well wean the calf next week. :"
Says Farmer John, when I've been of,
To call you again about the trough, .r
And watch you and pet you, while you drink.
Is a greater comfort than you can Think
And he pats old Bay,
And he saps old Gray;
"Ah, this is the comfort of going away!
For after all " said Farmer john
1.-The best OF journey is getting home!
I've seen great sights but would give
This spot, and the peaceful life live,
For all their Paris and Rome?
These hills for the city's stifed air,
And big hotels all hustle and glare,
Lands all houses, and roads all stones,
That deafen you ears and batter your bones
Would you, old Bay?
Would you, old Gray?
That's what one gets by going away"
"I've found out this says Farmer JOHN
THAT happiness is not bought and sold
And clutched in life of waste and hurry,
In nights of pleasure and days of worry:
And wealth isn't all in gold
Mortgage, and stocks, and ten per cent, r.
But in simple ways, and sweet content
Few wants, pure hopes and noble ends.
Some land to till and a few good friends
Like you, old Bay,
And you, old Gray!
That s what I've learned by going away"
And happy man is Farmer john
o. rich and happy man is he.
lie secs the peas and pumpkins growing
The corn in tassel, and buckwheat blowing,
And fruit on vine and tree;
The large kind oxen look their thanks
AS he rubs their forehead strokes their fanks;
The doves light round him, and strut and COO;
Says Farmer John, 'I'll take you, too
And you, old Bay,
And you old Gray
The next time traye far away

SEEKING FOR A HUSBAND 1T is not often
that a fugitive husband can hope to receive
the warm Endorsement of the bereaved
spouse whom he had deserted. There must
be, after all, something noble and lofty in
the nature of the man who, in spite of his
evasion Of the copjugal ties, still extorts
from the much wrouged woman abandoned
a touching encomum upon his merits and .
not too fattering reference to his personal
taking ways" A case Of this kind has
occurred in South Carolina 1t happened in
this wise: A carpet-bag revenue officer, hav-
ing occasion to depart in surreptit;ous man
ner from bis wife, so departed. Suspecting
that the misguided carpet bigger had wend-
ed his way to Louisville, the heroic ''better
half, fondly mindful Of her husbands many
excellent qualities, thus wrote concerning
him to the CHIEF of Police Of that city:
"He came into kentucky to go into poll
ticks he vas one of John Browns men and
was with him in Mereland he is good
sturlpt speaker can edit newspaper deliver
lectures and teech school and is quite 8
