The Practical and Sentimental Si"eS
of Farm Life.

Poets hsye sung the delights Of tue iarm'

saken every other pursuit and betaken itselI

the clayey furrow, at the tail sf bis ploW' with
a free holders right sticking to each boot. or
bending, With aching back, between ING cot ~
rows, or breastng the winter storms 10 tHe
performance of imperative duties, LOOKS az ms
life from different point of view. 10 MN inns
life appears as full of toll and care ana e'i'
chances as that Of any other toler AND true
il is. the life CT an ordinary farmer Is hato'
with too little to soften lt-too mucn OF "o!A,
s,nu 90 long age: Thrice happy are the hps,
h,ndmen # they could but see their blessings"
far thew have independence more than any
others who by the sweat OF the brow earn tnelr
bread, and the pure air Of heaven to breathe,
and the blessed privilege OF daily communion
With nature.
II is not easy for the farmer to see any
hesuty ia bis enemies,-tbe meadows iull OF
daisies. with which he is forever fighting, or
hy which he has been ANONYMOUSLY conquered;
the epcroacbipg ranks of golden rods along the
boriers of bis fields, and the bristliDg bayonets
of those Canadian invaders, the tblsles. How
few farmers, or other people for that NATTER
see In the climbing blushes of the daWnlpg
day, or the gorgeous painting OF lis c:oSe' or
in the perfect day itself, anything but the fore'
telling of fair or foul weather.; or notice the
wsys of any untamed bird or beast except that
the Grove como to pull the corn, the Law ks to
catch the chickens, and tho foxes to steal the
lambs aud tu1keys! However, the farmer gen
orally does feel thrill OF pleasure Wnen; ID
the hszy sofsnsss of a February or March day,
he hears the cav Of the tils. carrlonn seeking;
hungry crow. The heart OF winter Is broke.
In April when the fields begin to show sus'
picion of coming green acd give forth an odor
of spring, and the diDgy snow banks along the
fences arc daily dwindling, he welcomes the
carol Of the first blue BID, snd is glad to bear
the robin utter bis. restless note trlm the
bouehs of the Cd apple tree; and the clear
voice cfthencw como meadow lark strikes him
as not altogether unmGsical; aud when be
hears the plaintipe cry Of the grass ple7er he Is
sure spring has come. and then thinks OF the
small birds no more till tho first blasts OF re
turning winter sweep over the bare trees aid
fr,z.n fields, whoc, sill st once, he becomes
aware that the trvubadours arc gone. tie sees
that the blsvo little ctickadee Iemsiss faithful!
to bis post, and feels that bis ohecIy Tote en-
lveps little the drearipess of winter, as Goes
the reedy piping of the nuthateh cad the voice
of the dowry, fuller of lite than of music, and
the disoordaut note of the blue y, who, clad
in bit of summer sky, loudly proc!aims his
presence; but the singers are gone aad be
misses them.-August Scr5ner.
