"ONLY A FARMERS DAUGHTER. y

"0NLY A FARMERS DAUGHTER"
s'She's only farmers daughtero
A stylish lady said,
With a scornful glance of her handsome eye
And toss OF her naughty head
She frilled and fiounced and furbelowed
In the very latest style;
Her head was a wonder of criInps and curls,
And her train something less than a mile.
Her hands, that sparkled with many a ring,
Were shapely and fair to view
As they well might be, for no useful work
Were they ever allowed to do.
To hear her talk OF the GLOVER Glass;"
or their sins against prOpriety,
OF her family and of country girls"
And her horror of "mixed society"
One would think that among her ancestry
She numbered at least an Earl
tHer father was once carpenter
And her mother a factory girll
They say she Is brilliant and beautiful;
will not their words deny,
But ah! the farmers daughter
Is fairer far to my eye.
She is not in the height of fashion,
But is very becomingly dressed,
With flounces enough for comfort
And they look as If made of the best.
Mirth and innocent happiness
Out of her blue eyes shine;
Her hair is untutored by crmps and eurls
And she wears it by right divine.
No mother tolls in the kitchen for her,
While she on the sofa lolls,
Novel in hand, dressed in her best,
Receiving her morning calls.
A share in the heat and burden of life
She willingly, cheerfully takes;
And duty and love- in that happy home,
A pleasure of labor makes.
And, though you may smile at this curious
fact,
have seen her with hoe in her hand,
When she planted the corn or waged war On
the weeds,
When mans help was scarce in the land.
And her flowers - next Summer you'll see
them yourself,
As you ride past the farm on the prairie,
And mark the home, covered with roses and
vines,
The work of some Martha or Mary.
And Pm sure you will say, spite the verdict
of those
Who live out in fashions gay whirl,
That ''only q farmers daughter means
Only a sensible girl!
