farmer furrowed his swarded field
And faltered not for the day;
lie felt from the north frost.wind blow,
And the path of the was gray,
And the wheat birds whistle he heard from the bough,
And he knew that the weevil oft followed the plow.
He bent his lowly form to the task,
Believing his labor prayer
SO he plodded the pace OF cheerful man,
Preparing his ground with care;
whlstled and plodded then cast amain
For the harvest hour the seeding grain.
A farmer sat in his cottage door,
Nodding noon-tide nap,
And the whtened wheat across the way,
waved on the meadows lap;
with heavy heads, in a slumberng haze,
The stalks bent down In the August days
As the farmer dozed, he dreamed and smiled
For his acres waved on his eye;
And then the clink OF the reapers he heard,
And his stacks and his mows swelled high;
And over his cheek soft tear crept,
For the Joy he felt as he nodded and slept
lie woke. in the haze Of the hot afternoon
In health was he bent TO the snath,
And over the field the gayels stretched,
In many winding path
The vision he bad lighted his task
And he learned that to pray in labor should ask.

Shouted big Johnny Strong;
And he sold his baskets readily
To folks who came along.
But soon tiny voice piped forth
"Me, toor Nell could not shout
As John did. Yet slie too must sell
The fruit she bore about.
"IIo, straw-ben-e-e-s" roared lusty John.
"Me, too" piped Nell, 30 sad.
And Johnny made good sales that day,
Hut Nell sold all she had.
