ONLY A BOY.

Only boy with his noise and fun,
The varlest mystery under the sun.
AS brim full of mischief, and wit, and glce
AS ever a human frame can be,
And as hard to manage as-what? ah me!
'Tis hard to tell,
Yet we love him WE'LL
Only boy, with his fearful tread,
Who cannot he driven, but must be led;
Who troubles the neighbors dogs and cats
And tears more clothes and spoils more hats
Loses more tops ard kites and BATS
Than would stock a store
A year OF more.
Only boy with his wild strange ways.
With his idle hours in his busy days;
With his Gueorremarks and his odd replies,
Sometimes foolish and sometimes wise,
Often brilliant for one of his size
AS a meteor hurled
From some planet world.
Only a boy who will be a man,
II nature goes on with her first great plan
1T water, or fire, or some fatal snare,
Conspire not to rob us of this our heir,
Our blessing, our trouble, our rest, Our care,
Our torment, our joy.

FARMERS AND PoLrT1rANs.-The Far
mers' War, as it is sometimes called, is
destined to have great political infiu-
ence. It has already reused the peo-
pie from that indifference to public vir-
tue which we have looked upon as one
of the most dangerous symptoms of the
times, and has taught them that it is
more important to ask about their can
didates whether they are honest and
capable, than whether they have the
support of the regular caucus and al
ways hurrah for the regular platform.
The effect of this will be to raise the
standard of the party nominations.
Neither side can afford to present can
didates whose character will not bear
the closest examination. We are not
sanguine enough to predict that the
permanent purifcation of official life
will follow; but if we can only check
for little while the decline of public
morality, if we can only Danish few of
the venal legislators who buy Office for
the sake of the profit they can make by
selling themselves in turn, we shall feel
that the farmers movement has accom-
plished a great good for the country at
large, irrespective of what it may do in
the matter for which it was specially
organized.

PUBLISHED BY REQUEST.
More than sixty years ago, when the
settlements in the skirts of Kentucky
and Ohio were new, when missionaries
commenced their circuits in that quar-
ter, Methodist preacher by the name
Of Bronson occasionally stopped at my
father would sometimes stay two or
three days. Bronson. and my father
had been boys together, and, of course,
old acquaintances, and both from Con-
necticut. Bronson on such occasions,
would relate to my father his early ad-
ventures (and very few had seen more
of the new, wild country than he had)
and his travels and adventures in the
new settlement of Kentucky were very
interesting to a boy like myself. On
one of these circuits round the skirts
of Kentucky and Ohio, on the wild
boundaries of civilization, Bronson
called at my fathers, and, during his
stay, related some of his trials and diff
cnlties during the last year or two in a
district in Kentucky.
Bronson was a large, we'll proper
toned man-had been raised from boy
hood to take care of himself. In early
days, in Connecticut, boys were in the
habit Of trying their strength and &c.
tiyity in the art of wrestling and in this
particular my father ard Bronson
seemed to agree, and my father took
great interest in Bronson's story about
his adventures in Kentucky and the
southren portion of Ohio. But to the
story l commenced to tell:
There was one district in the outskirts
of Kentucky, which had become noted
for what were called hard cases. A few
desperate fellows lived there, who made
it point and business to run out tray-
cling missionaries, especially the Meth
odists; and several of the brethren had
been driven out of the neighborhood,
and their poor horses came in for their
share of the abuse. l knew but little
about this section of the country at the
time of the General Conference, and,
after much talk and alteration by the
Conference, the hard district was set to
me and, not exactly understanding the
difficulties, Fat once began prepara-
tions to go on my new circuit. On my
first visit in that quarter, I called at q
tavern within n mile of where old Dea-
con Webster lived, and where there
was a school house. The Methodists
had held meetings there. The land
lord says to me: perceive you are
a preacher-a Methodist" eyes" I
said, and then told him intended to
preach at the school house tomorrow
at eleven o'clock A. NJ, and wished him
to give notice. Well, said the land
lord =" 1 will advise you as friend to
go no farther. You are stranger, and
my advice is to keep out of that neigh
borhood." There were other persons
by, one or two of them put in few
words; one man said "your horse is a
good-looking horse, pity him, he will
come back with his tail sheared off, and
if he does not lose more, he and you,
may think yourselves we'll off" told
him had got SO far, believed I would
go on. On the way to the deacon's
passed the school house, and near there
l saw some men by the road side; they
We're raising Lighthouse, very COM
mon thing in this country. I stopped
and inquired for deacon Webster.
Was told the deacon was there. After

CIRCUMsTANT1AL EVIDENCE. An Illi-

caught and killed ret, laid it among
the debris, and daubing his faithful
dogs nose and legs with the fruit,
sent him up stairs, while the boy hid
in the coal shed. He heard feminine
shrieks of dismay; he heard the wrath

the unsuspecting dog led into the back

hands said solemnly. another victim
