of a whipping from his father for mis-
demeanor at school. When his father

A Missouri farmer, arrested unjustly
for obtaining money by false pretenses,
tried to kill himself in his cell, and his
friends, who had already insured his

A Country School.

Pretty and pale and tired
She sits in her stiff- backed chair,
While the blazing summer sun
Shines in on her soft brown hair,
And The tiny brook without,
That she hears through the open door,
Mocks with its murmur cool
Hard bench and dusty floor.
Itseems such an endless round
Grammar snd A, B, @;
The blackboard and the sums
The stupid geography
When from teacher to little Jem
Not one Of them cares straw,
Whether John is in any lease"
Or Kansas in Omaha
But Jemmy's bare broHn feet
Are aching to wade in the stream,~
Where the trout to his Turing bait
Shall leap with quick bright gleam;
And his teachers blue eyes stray
To the flowers on the desk hard by,
TIL her thoughts have fouoweo ner eyes
With half-unconscious sigh.
Her heart outruns the clock,
As she smells their faint sweet scent ;
But when have time and heart
Their measure in unison blent {?
Fer time will haste or lag,
Like your shadow on the grass,
That fingers far behind,
Or flies when you fsin would pass.
Have patience, restless Jem, . ...
The stream and the ish will wait
And patience, tired blue eyes
Down the winding road by the gate,
Under the willow shade,
Stands some one with fresher flowers !;
80 turn to your books again,
And keep love for the after hours.
