The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1877-08-15

The farmer came in from the field one day
liz languid step and bis weary way,
lis Bonded brow, his sinewy hand,
All showed his work for the good of the
land:
For he sows,
And he hoes,
And he mows,
All tor the good OF the land.
By The kitchen ire stood his patient wife,
Light OF his home and JOY OF his life,
With face all aglow and busy hand,
Preparing the meal for her husband's
band;
For she must boil.
And size must trOil,
And size must toll,
All for the good Of the home.
The h"' ,Htsun shines when the farmer goes
Tie bll.5 sing sweet songs, lambs frisk
about:
The brook babbes softly in the glen,
While he works 50 braycly for the good o.
For he sows,
And lie mOws,
Ana he hoes,
All for the good OF the land.
How briskly the wife steps about within.
The dishes To wash. the milk to skim;
The fire goes out, flies buzz about
For the dear ones at home her heart j. kept
There are pies to make,
There is bread to bake,
And steps to take,
All for the sake OF home.
When The day is ger, and the evening is
come,
The C. raIu'es are fed, the milking done,
lie takes his rest meath the old shade tree,
From the labor OF the land his thoughts are
free;
ThouUl Lp coyVs
And he hoes,
And he mows,
He rczts from the work of the land
But the faithful wife, from sun to sun,
Takes her burden up that's never done;
There is no rest, there is no play,
For the good of the house she must WORK
away;
For to mend the frOck,
And TO knit the sock
And the cradle to rock,
All for the good OF the home
When autumn is here, with its chilling
blast,
The farmer gathers his crop at last;
Iii, barns are full, his fields are bare,
For the good o. the land he ne'er hath care
While it blows,
And it SHOWS.
Til winter goes,
He rests from the work of the land
But the willing wife ill life's closing day
Is the children's guide, the nu- bands stay
From day to day she has done her best,
Until death alone can give her lest;
Fo~ after the test,
Comes the rest.
With the blcst,
In the farmers heavenly home.

Ups aud Downs in Chicago.

Two years ago young man, who had
acted for several years in the capacity of
bookkeeper IN one of our wholesale
establishments, made up his mind that
he would always be obliged to keep
he went into something else. He knew
but little about practical farm work, but
his young wife heartily joined him in the
idea; he determined to follow Uncle
Horace's advice and ego West" He
did so, and purchased from one of the
railroad lines farm of 100 acres of land
in Southeastern Kansas. When ne settled
his family in comfortable little house,
stocked his place with a fair amount of
tools, labor saving machinery and live
stock, he found himself indebted for
about one-half his property This was
year ago. The crops this year are not
all sold yet, but, nevertheless, he has
paid off all his debts and has 1857 in
cash on hand, besides enough more
produce to sell to double that amount
and still leave him ample for his own
consumption. Is there any hard working
mechanic or bookkeeper in any large
city who is half so independent? There
is to-day in this city a man who was
counted worth at least half million ten
years ago He has resided here many
years, has endowed some of our institu-
tons of learning, has entertained DIS
tinguished strangers, has been President
Of reputable moneyed corporation, has
owned a daily newspaper and counted
his houses by scores He is now seeking
employment, and would accept fair in
come in almost any position. And this
man has never been dissipated man,
has never gambled, never been a fast
man or run away with the money of his
depositors. 1t is one of the lessons
showing the ups and downs of life in
commercial centers.-Cor. Troy (N ~
