TIL Had Leisure"

eff I had leisure I would repair that
weak place in my fence" said farmer.
He had none, however, and while drink
ing cider with neighbor the cows broke
in and injured prime piece of corn He
had leisure then to repair his fence, but
it did not bring back his corn.
eff had leisure" said wheelwright
last winter, s'I would alter my stove
pipe, for know it is not safe. But he
did not find time, and when the shop
caught fire and burned down he found
leisure to build onother.
Gs''H had leisure" said mechanic,
81 should have my work done III season"
The man thinks his time has been all
occupied, but he was not at work till
after sunrise he Quit work at five O'Clock,
smoked a cigar after dinner, and spent
two hours on the street talking nonsense
with an idler.
eff had leisure" said a merchant,
81 would pay more attention to my &C
counts and try to collect my bills more
promptly" The chance is my friend,
if you had leisure you would probably
pay less attention to the matter than you
you do now. The thing lacking with
hundreds of farmers who till the soil is
not more leisure but more resolution
the spirit to do it now. Il the farmer
who sees his fence in foor condition
would only act at once, how much might
be saved! It would prevent breechy
cattle from creating qua-rels among
neighbors that In many cases terminate
in lawsuits, which take nearly all they
are both worth to pay the lawyers.
The fact is, farmers and mechanics
have more leisure than they are aware
of for study and improvement of their
minds. They have the long evenings
of winter in which they can post them
selves upon all improvements Of the
day,if they will only take ably conducted
journals and read them with care. The
farmer who fails to study his business,
and then gets shaved, has nobody but
himself to blame.

All who have stood in phalanx strong.
Rolled back the sIrEfne tides OF wrong,
Planted rare germs Of Liberty,
Now risen grand stately, giant tree.
Meath Whose great shade. in depending light
The nations learn truth, Justice, right
They strike the relrv tOi0 friendly hsnd

One heritage the model State
Bound by cOnatural bonds OF fate,
Where Oft Thanksgiving prayer shotJIc Use

While swift goes on the course CT time,
And cent,l,'y-wonaers wax sublime,
This day imperial offerings bring:
Make Heavens hlgll-storied arches ring
With glowing heart, with clarion tongue,
Let freedoms airs be loudly sung;
Earth, earth, far-listeniEG, silent hear
It's jubilee fast drawing nesr,
In deepening harmony accord,
All ranlls adore the sovereign lord,
Who led the Fathers Ger the deep

It's now fond children, glad, return
To where parental affairs burn;
That friends renew, rev e2VG the tie
That time survives and cannot die

Rare-beaminT nectar sparkling flow;
Sweet nlerrirnentS no boundaries know;
Huge grooming tables vie around.

While deintIes all shall GSeriiOw,
Go seek the poor relieve CT woe;
Bid charity abundance find
With deepening love embrace mankind
And, while Thanksgiyfnes joys shall greet,
Let want despair, find bliss complete
The PATRIOTS heart shall swell with pride;
The Christian icy that Christ hath died
To bless the needy, lost, uEdone.
The nations gather make them one
'Iis well i. Ali local bounds retire
Before congenial. spreading ire:
The stars end stripes, long may they shine;
Be Old Thanksgiving yours ard mine !
