BY FATHER RYAN.
Tears that trickle down her eyes,
They do not fall to earth aud dry;
They soar like angles to the skies,
And like the angels cannot die,
For oh our Immortality
Flows through each tear, sounds In each
sigh.
What waves OF tears surge Ger the deep
OF sorrows in our restless souls
And they are strong, not weak, we weep,
These drops from out the sea that rolls,
Without their hearts forevermore
Without depth-without q shore
But alb, the tears that are not wept-
The tears that never outward fall
The tears that grief for years has kept
Within us-they are best Of all
The tears of our eyes Dhall never know,
Are deeper than the tears that flow.
Each night, upon earth's flowers below,
The dew comes down from the darkes
skies,
And every night our tears of woe
Go up, like dews, Of Paradise,
| To keep in gloom aud make more fair
| The flowers of crowns We yet shall wear.
| For ah the surest way TO God
/ Is up the lonely stream of tears,
That flow, when bending meath the rod,
| And fill the tide of our past years,
On laughter's pillows hearts are tossed
! On wave of tears no heart is lost.
| Flow on, ye tears and bear me homel
Flow Cd, ys tears, Of deepest woe
Flow on, ye tears, that are but foam.
| OF deeper waves that will not flow
little while-I reach the shore
| Where tears flow not-foreyermore.

were as good as can be made. Hank

them one day, with a friend-Penn

Hank got out of the wagon, went

What I Don't Knew About Farming.

AS you have solicited me to write
for your valuable paper, and as I
cannot place myself alongside with
the learned agrlsulturists who can
undoubtedly farm we'll on paper,
and tell you what I know about
Farming i thought ! would tell
you what I don't know. I don't
know how a man can raise corn on
these worn out lands, who does
not keep any stock, or raise any
manure, nor does not cultivate with
in ten yards of the ditch banks,
thus leaving the best lands to grow
up in bulrushes and briars, but
keeps an old, poor horse or two,
puts them to an old, worn out plow,
| and scratches the old, worn-out hill,
sides. And then what is stranger
than all, you will hear this same
crying down Virginia. [ think
the commonwealth ought to sue him
for slander.
| don't know how farmer ex~
poets to have meat to eat who raises
no cattle, and if he attempts to
raise hogs he has these old, fiddle
faced fellows that eat their heads
off twice during the winter, and
when spring comes they are SO lean
that by tying a knot in their tails,
you can keep them from getting
through a fence. Stranger still
this man is always complaining Of
the high price of bacon. l think
the meat dealers ought to send him
to the lunatic asylum. ldon't see
how man expects to make any
thing by farming, who year after
year takes everything from his farm
and puts nothing back. The merch
ant if he were to sell out one stocl
of goods, could not expect his store
to pay him any more, until he lai'
in another stock. Such man re
minds me of Yankee who came t.
tbs neighborhood several years ago
and ridiculed the idea of fertilizers
sid he was going to make hi
farm pay him, not he pay the farm
l saw him the other day, and h
, had no corn, no meat, no clothes
J no nolhing.

ant did not know one word of the Ian
guage. Sir Roger belonged to a wide
spread family connection of which the
Claimant had never seen a single MEM
Der. Yet he confidently sailed for
England and for seven years fought the
desperate fight which has euded in his
conviction as a felon, with a varying
success which must always remain q
wonder to succeeding ages. His trial
has changed mems opinions as to the
worth of human evidence. Dozens of
witnesses, among whom was Sir Rogers
mother, testified that this was the right
full heir. Several members of Parlia-
ment espoused his cause. Popular SUBJ
scriptions assisted him in his scheme.
He was defeated at last by two things

Radcliffe, which all England instinct
lively cried could not have been made bv

evidence of Lord Bellew, who said he
had tattooed Sir Roger in his boyhood.

And he had a little head that was just the proper

And two little arms, and two little hands;

Because that he could only be the very thing he
was;
He wanted to be this, and then he wanted to be
that;
His head vas full o! wishes underneath his little
hat.

But all the wishing N the world is not : bit of use
That little boy this very day he stands in his own

That little boy is still but little Master what-do-you

As much as if that little boy had never wished at

He eats his bread and butter. and he likes it very
much,
He grubs about, and bumps his head, and bowls

And his father aud his mother they say. "Thank

Those wishes cannot wish away that little boy of
