A Ho:ae Picture.

Ben Fisher had finished his hard days
work,
And ne sat at his cottage door;
His good wife, Kate, sat by his side,
And themooniight danced on the floor;
The moonlight danced on the floor
Her beams were clear and bright
As when he and Kate, twelve years be-
fore,
Talked of lovein her mellow light.
Ben Fisher had never a pipe of clay,
And never q draw had he;
50 he loved at home withhis wife to stay,
And they chatted merrily:
Right merrily they chatted on, the while
Her babe slept on her breast,
While cherlb rogue with rosy smilc
On his fathers knee found rest.
Ben told how fast his potatoes grew,
And the corn in the lower field,
And the wheat on the hills had grown to
seed,
And promised glorious yield;
y glorious WELD in the harvest time,
And the orchard was doing fair,
His sheer, and his stock were in their
primo,
And prosperity everywhere.
Kate said her garden looked beautiful,
Her cows and calves wore fat,
That the butter that morning Tommy
c;lurned
Would buy him Sunday l.a::
That Jenny for Pat new shirt lHa'i
made.
Ard that, too, by the rlic:
That Ncddy the garden cnnl! i'i,e-y
spade.
And .inn was ahead at school.
But slowly passed the toil-worn hand
Through his locks Of "rcvisl: brown
IS I tell vou. Kate. what think said ne
Were inc happiest foll,s in town.
81 know" said Kate, . thai we all worl;
hard:
Wrr.; and health go together, I've
found,
For there's Mrs. Eall does not work a
And nd she's sick the whole year round.
They're worth their thousands, so peo
pie say,
But nee saw them happy vet:
'Twould not be me who would take thei1
gold,
And live in a constant fret;
My humble home has q light within,
Mrs. Halls gold can not buy
Six healthy children, Il merry heart,
And husbands love-lit eye"
fancied tear was in Ben's dark eve
The moon shone brighter and clearer
could not tell why the man should cry
But he drew up by Kate still nearer.
and be leaned his head on her Shoulde
there,
And took her hand i'm his
guess Though L looked at the moor
just then]
That he LETT on her lips kiss.

GooD ADvtcE.-Do not get vexed
at what people say of you. Let them
speak, while you endeavor to do the
Will of God. You will never succeed
ii, pleasing men, and it would not be
worth the trouble if you could. A
little silence, and great peace of soul
with communion Of the Spirit will
compensate you for all the injustice
of men. We must love our fellow
men without depending on their
friendship, and seek to win their love
by kind words and deeds, leaving our
lives, our regulations, and our charac-
ters with Him who careth for us.

a Rich Joke.

The Troy Press says: A fe~ days
ago, al North Adams, the State Con-
stable seized a JAZZ Of rum and ar
rested the party il those possession
it was found, for selling intoxicating
liquor. The examination before the
District Judge came on, when the
State Constable was sworn and testi-
fed that he had seized the liquor,
and made detailed statement of the
facts. 4{oa. Shepard Thayer, the
attorney for the prisoner, asked him
if he knew it was liquor. He re-
piled, eyes, it was rum" He then
asked how he knew it was rum. He
replied that he drank some of it.
The prisoner, who was a woman, was
then called rs a witness in her own be-
half, when tue following questions
and answers were put and rseai!el!
"Did you have any liquor in your
house when the State Constable called
there ?"
Yes-I had some rum in q jar.
How long have you had lt?"
About six months.
Did you haye il for salp ?"
sob, no; I don't sell Laquor-".
"What did you have this rum for 2"
"I kept it to wash the baby in, "
Had you ever washed ths5baby
in this rum ?"
80, yes, often 1 used to turn
some cut in dish, wash the baby in
ii, ana then turn it back in the jar
again"
q Do you near to say thai. this
was the same liquor Of which the
State Constable drank" ?"
1.-The very same"
There was much laughter in the
Court. and the State Constable de-
clarea he you'd seize no more liquor
that was kept'iih q Jay. 5e e is about
the only man in North Adams who |
will take offence if you ask him to
take drink Of rum.
