THE FORTY ACRE FARM.
By JOHN B. YATES.

Pm thinkin' wife, of neighbor Jones, that maj
with stalwart arm.
He lives in peace and plenty on forty-acrt
farm:
While men are all around us, with hands and
heats score,
Who own two hundred acres, and still are
wanting more.
His is pretty little farm, pretty little house
He has loving wife within, as quiet as a
mouse:
His children play around the door-their
fathers life to charm
Looking as neat and tidy as the tidy little
No weeds are in the corn fields, no thistles in
the oats:
The horses show good keeping by their fine
and glossy coats;
The COWS within the meadow, resting meath
the beachen shade,
Learn all the gentle manners OF the gentle
milking maid.
Within the field-on Saturdays-he leaves no
cradIed grain
To be gathered on the morrow, for fear of
coming rain;
He keeps the Sabbath hOly-his children learn
his ways
And plenty fills his barns and bins after the
harvest days.
He never has law suit to take him to the
town,
For the very reason there are no line fences
down;
The bar-room in the village does not have for
him charm;
lean always find my neighbor on his forty
acre farm.
His acres are so very few he plOws them very
deep;
'Tis his own hands that turn the sod-'tis his
own hands that reap;
He has place for everything, and things are
in their place;
The sunshine smiles upon his fields, content
ment in his face.
May we not learn lesson, wife, from prudent
neighbor Jones,
And not-for what we haven't got-give up
to signs and means?
The rich amt always happy, nor free from
hfe's alarms,
But blest are they that live content, though
small may be their farms.

II Can Stop Drinking when Please"
This is the language used by all
moderate drinkers, under all circum-
stances, and on all and every oecas-
ion. That is their strong citadel,
and whenever attacked in their weak
points, they redden up and become
excited, and exclaim-
81 can stop drinking whenever I
feel like it. Do you suppose if 1
wanted to stop drinking l would
have to sign pledge? Such weak
ness is unbecoming a gentleman, and
scorn Of his associates. Besides, do
you suppose / would sign pledge
not to touch, taste nor haudle, while
Mary, Melinda, the Misses McFlim-
sey, and Miss Vardens extend the
glass, and ask us to partake of the
nectar, that gives life and vim to
our every action, and thought to our
dull brains, and glib to our stupid
tongues"
This is the invariable answer VIC

fenced.
We will step up the round Of the
ladder ten years. Here comes the
man of thirty, with bloated face,
bloodshot eyes and unnaturally ex-
tended body. What does he say?
Why ne laughs at you and says:
81 can stop drinking whenever I
feel ike it.
We take another step of ten years
up the ladder of time. Here comes
a man of forty, staggering and reel
ing in the street, having just been
kicked out Of one those holes Of ini-
guilty, where they sell strychnine at
five cents a glass under the name Of
whisky, because he didn't have the
shekel to pay. Ask him, and what
will he answer:
"Ah, my friend, you are too late;
the devil has fastened his fangs so
firmly in me, there is nothing but
death can release them. There was
time when / would not; now, when
would stop, can't

portunity, for there is q day coming
when they can not be they ever so
willing. Young man, beware of the
first drink. Shun it. 1t is more
