Yet never talks of adverse fate;
For all bis tolings scarce SUFFICE
Of longed for lands to pay the price.
The summers come, the summers 60,

The while, from dawn till close of day,
Receiving naught but frownss for pay;
His good wife tolls: and anxious care
Has faded lip and check and hair. -. p.
Acres on acres stretch away -
Of woodland, corn, Of wheat and hay;
His cattle roam DER many 'hill,. .-.s.. e
His brooklet 'urns the groaning mill;
Yet still he sighs, and longs for more,
And grumbles DER that he is poor. ssg
Pour 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 groove Of thought =
Gold to be earned, land to be sought. e &
Yes, Farmer John is growing poor
You see it as you pass his door, %
His old brown house is small and mean,
The roof is cracked by warp and seam
The leaning caves, the half-hanged door,
Proclaim old John is very poor.
No books no pictures on the wall;
. Carpetless room and dreary hail.
Why think it strange that farmers boys
Should seek the city's pomP and noisefs 4
Should learn toioathe The sight OF home,
Where naught of joy or grace may come
We 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
Inljoy, to walk the streets Of heaven'
where naught is sold, but all is given!
Go where you will, search earth around,
The poorest man that can be found,
Is he who tolls, through life TO gain
Widest extent of hill and plain;
Forgetting all his souls best needs,
In counting DER his title deeds.
