The Land of Nod.

BY YOUNG LADY OF SIXTEEN.
You may talk about the continent may pirate abou
"Parree,"
May fall in raptures at the sights that there ones
eye doth see.
You may loose your tongue in Switzerland, may
feast your eyes in Rome,
Nav gaze in wonder and amaze, at beauties near
er home;
But the peasantest land of all 1 ween, that morta
foot e'er trod,
Is the land where every one has been-I mean the
Land of Nod.
You enter it when daylight is fading from the sky
And never leave it till the bright, disturbing morn
is nigh
No Custom Houses bother you; your brains you
need not rack
To think of foreign phrases TO hire cab or hack
But like the lark or swallow, from place to place
yon dart,
Without single tremor or sinking at the heart.
You see fam liar faces-sometimes, of those long
dead.
And hear familiar voices whose sound has long
since fed;
You clasp with friendly fingers the hands of those
who lie
With cold and palIid faces upturned unto the sky
Yet these do not alright you; indeed, they do not
seem
Like fantasies or shadows or crertureS OF dream
You find your dearest wishes, your fondest hopes
come true;
You find that you can do with ease whate'er you
wish to do.
You find that no one thwarts you, that every one
Obeys
Your slightest inclination, and understands your
ways;
And little spires seem ready to spring up from the
And do your very bidding fin the pleasant land OF
Nod.
The vegetable Kingdom must strike you queerly,
though,
When cucumbers from acorns, and oaks from wal
nuts grow;
When melons, ripe and lu scious, untouched by
frost rime,
Are growing in the gardens in bitter winter-tme;
And yet much stranger things than these delight
the human clod
Who travels in the regions of the pleasant land of
Nod.
1t seems fabrication, and yet know it's true,
That people in the land of Nod have no haad work
to do;
They spend their time in pleasure, in talking. and
in mirth,
Unlike the sober beings that live upon the earth;
And implements of labor, the shovel and the hod
Are totally forbidden in the pleasant land of Nod.
And there one often can ex pore the mysteries that
here
Have puzzled old philosophers for many "a weary
year;
And it is even said, although won't affirm it true,
That there the people carry the arts the ancents
knew;
And some one, by the magic power of a divining-
rod,
Has found the fountan-head of Youth in the pleas.
ant Land of Nod.
And too, I've heard it stated that there the stone
was found
That all the Seven Wise Men of Greece sought ont
for miles around,
The magic stone that would transform, we learn
from men of old,
Whatever substance it might touch to solid, shining
gold;
But some men now would rather forever dig and
plod
Than hunt for precious minerals in the pleasant
Land of Nod.
And there one meets celebrties-great men of
every age,
page;
And one may talk with prophets, and one may chat
wi kings,
And one may all kinds of folks and see all kind
of things.
Indeed it is the queerest land that ever mortal
trod.
And is wthall, the pleasantest, this pleasant Land
of Nod.

He SUBS with Ne,

Speeches. Sorrow sat with me;
Twas signing wearilyl
Lamp and fire were out; the rain
Wildly beat the window pane;
In the dark we heard knock,
And hand was on the lockl
Saying swectly
al am come to sup with thee"
All my room was dark and damp;
"Sorrow," said L, "trim the lamp,
Light the fire and cheer thy face,
Set the guest-chair in its place.
And again heard the knock;
In the dark found the lock;
Enter 1 have turned the. key
Enter, stranger,
Who art come to sup with mel"
Opening wide the door, He came,
But could not speak His name;
In the guest-chair took His place,
But l could not see hi 8 face.
When my cheerful fire was beaming,
When my little lamp was cleaning,
And the feast was spread for Thee,
=. Lo my Master
Was the guest that supped with me.
-Christus Conso ldtor.

heavily in burrows, they would be surprised
at the luxuriance of the crop. The seed
may be strewn from basket on the manure,
covered by ridges with a pillow, and then

FIELD AND FARM.
A PLEA FOR FARMERS WIVES.

We are satisfied that the life of the far
mer's wife is not always what it should be
or what it would be, if farmers only stop
ped to consider a moment. 1t is not from a
want of affection that their lives are not
less burdensome, for certainly there are
no class of men more affectionate than
farmers. But do they all consider the bur-
den imposed on their wives? Let us see
what are the duties imposed on a large
number of them. They cook, wash, sweep,
milk the COWS, churn the butter, make the
cheese, spin, weave, make and re-
pair the clothing ETC., ETC., adj intinituD1.
Now this is no overdrawn picture. There
are hundreds of instances in every county
in East Tennessee, where the farmers
wife performs all this drudgery. Has she
any time left, after such a multiplicity of
cares for training her children, (of which
she generally has a goodly number, in the
way she is expected to train them? She
dosen't complain at her lot, and perhaps
thinks it all right, but is it so?
This is hard enough if she and her chill
dren are in perfect health, but suppose
some of her children are unwell and re-
quire her attention, thus adding to her al
ready heavy burden?
In too many instances her liege lord her
husband, takes the money she saves from
her surplus butter or eggs and goes off to
town or to the neighborhood store, and in
stead of investing it in clothing for the
family and thus relieving her of burdens
she ought not to bear, spends it for bottle
of rum or plug of tobacco. We may talk
about our advanced civilization as much as
we please, yet in some respects we can not
lay any very high claim to it. One of the
first characteristics of civilization is the inn
proved condition of the female sex. Is there
not room for improvement in our own
State? We submit to our farmer friends,
if we have presented any fancy-wrought or
highly colored picture. Isn't true to the
life? Cannot every one think of such cases
as we have mentioned and even worse
ones? We have frequently known the
farmers wife to add to her other cares, that
of assisting her husband at certain times
on the farm. We say, and without the feal
OF successful contradiction, that the farm
ers' wives, in this country, as a general
thing are an oyerburdened class. There
are except ionsof course and great many
of them, but they are the exception anC
not the rule.

European crop Prospects.

The Constitutional gives favorable ac-
count Of harvest prospects in France
There has been marked Improvement in
the appearance Of all the crops. The heat
of the last few days has gone far to undo
the evil effects of the floods of last autumn
and the heavy continuous rains OF the
spring, and there is the promise of an
abundant harvest of excellent quality.
Should there be no unexpected change Of
weather, there will be a far better yield
than lately seemed possible. In the North,
where the excessive moisture excited grave
