Absent-.Mintied.

The Dan6ury NeaOs says: Here is
another sad result OF being absent
minded. A citizen of New street has
been several times dunned for an
amount due his grocer, but always
neglected to settle. Yesterday he re.
ceived the bill again with d note
sharply reminding him of his back
warduess. he at once counted out
he money, and having done 80. de-
liberately enclosed in the bill II sheet
OF Ay-paper and put the money in
his pocket again. Then feeling y lit
tie irritated by the tone of the gro
GERS note, he relieved himself by
strib'ling on the back of the bill:
"Thi. il all the ln"ney you will get
OF; Of m-.' and sent it. When the
IN reliant read these words and look
t at the ilypaI'er. he took it all at
u alance. and exclusively shouting,
stuck, ;lln / l'us his cap wrong
ni dashed out tn the nearest law
office. Theproper!r'pers were prompt
~ drawn up and immediately served
,pon the astoMslled citizen. When
n"lilieJ o. the trick on the grocer, he
.n.lignantlv repelled the insinuation
.'lt upon feeling in his pocket and
discovering til. rloney. he Was forced
90 admit that his treacherous mind
h I'd got the best of him. Explana-
tn,ns followed. good nature WAS re-
$ "red, the Legal people refused any
c .:npensation, and the whole party
b rlcd all unrle;lsautness in exhila-
rating soda water at the expense OF
the grocer After that they had Sc
g-.rs all round at the expense Of the
pleased customer, who, in his delight
Il the happy result of the threatened
touble | st sight entirely of the fact
tlat lie never smoked. Fifteen min
u'es later. when resting over a barrel
IN the back yard of the store. and
trying his utmost to keep down his
stockings, he bitterly regretted that
he hadn't went to law and "busted''
that grocer. II

POOR FARMER JOHN.

Old Farmer John is sore perpleXed-
Nay, Farmer John iS really Sexed;
He labors early, lal,orS late.
Yet ever talks Of adverse ti,tc.
For all his tOilings scarce suffice,
or longed- lands to pay the price.
The summers come, the summers go,
The spring showers waste the winters
2 snow;
The while, from dawn to close of day,
Receiving naught but frowns for pay,
His good wife tolls; and anxious care
Has faded lip and check and hair. =
Acres on acres stretch away
OF woodland, corn, OF wheat and hay;
His cattle roam DER many hill,
His brooklet turns the gr aning mill,
Yet still he signs, and longs for more.
And grumbles e'er that he is poor
Four sturdy sons. four daughters fair
Claimed at his hands fathers care.
He gave them labor without end,
And strove their souls, like his to bend
Into the narrowing grove of thought
Gold to be earned, land to be bought.
Yes, Farmer John Is growing poor!
GU S6e 1t as you pass niS uoOr-
His old brown house is small and mean,
The roof is warped by crack and seam (;
The leaning bars. the half-hingod door,
Proclaim old John is very poor.
No books; no pictures on the wall;
Carpetless rooms and dreary hall,
Why think it strang .such f,rmer's boys
Should seek the city's romp and noise?
Should learn to loathe the sight OF home.
Where naught of joy or grace may come?
Why think it strange his poor. old wife,
Who coined for him her very life.
Should pause, at last, despite his frown,
And lay her weary burden down
In joy, to walk the streets of heaven,
Where naughtis is sold, but all is given.
Go where you will. search earth around,
The poorest man that can he found.
Il he who tolls. through life. to gain
Widest extent of hill and plain;
Forgetting all his souls hest needs,
In counting DER his title-deeds.
