A COW, or an OK, or q horse,
He made it his business to tell you
Each one of the animals faults.
He hired Billy Peters, the cripple.
To husk out out his corn by the day.
And heaped up the grain on the bushel
To measure the wheat for his pay.
His name was not on the subscription
To save the poor heather abroad; e.
His neighbors he helped in affection.
The people all thought-he was odd.

trade he left the firm aud entered college at

paper he was attached to up TO u few months
ago, when he came to Washington as u corrc-
spondent TO the Weekly Rericr, new organ in
the City of Brotherly Love. On his arrival he
had a desire to visit his old homestead. So

of his birth, be accosted an elderly colorcd
woman aud asked her If she knew of Mr..
A, who had lived in the neighborlood

He's gone died ten years ago" This was news
for tho reporter. Leaving the old lady, he had
the records traced, and found that in his uncle
he had found friend who though dead years
ago, had not forgotten his runaway nephew.
