POETRY
THE FARMERS WIFE.


The farmer came in from the field one day,
His laneuid step and his weary way,
His bended brow and sinewy hand,
All showing his work for the good of the land
For he sows, H..
And he hoes,
And he mows,
An for the good of the land.
By the kitchen fire 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 husbands band;
- For she must boil, s,t.st ... r-. ~ f
And she must broil,
And she must toll,
All FOR the sake of the home.
Sun shines bright when the farmer goes out,
Birds sing sweet songs, lambs frisk about,
The brook babbles softly in the glen,
While he works bravely for the good Of men;
For he sows,
And he hoes, v
And he mows,
All for the good of the land. ~"
How briskly the wife steps about within
The dishes to wash, and the milk to skim,
The fires go out, flies buzz about
For dear ones at home her heart is kept
stout;
There are pies to make.
There is bread to bake,
And steps to take,
All for the sake OF the home.
When the day is DER and the evening has
~. come.
The creatures are fed and the milking is done,
He takes his rest meath the old shade tree,
"a oh Of no nd
free;
Though he sows,
.E And he hoes.
And he mows, .--- e.
He rests from the work of the land.
But the faithful wife. from sun to sun, PA.
Takes the burden up that's never done;
There is no rest, there is no pay,
For the household goods she must work away;
For to mend the frock,
And to knit the sock,
And the cradle to rock, ~
.-f4 All for the good of the home.
When autumn is here, with chilling blast,
The farmer gathers his crops at last, .-
His barns are full, his fields are bare,
For the good of the land he ne'er hath care
While it blows,
And it SHOWS,
Till the winter goes,
He rests from the work of the land.
But the willing wife, till life's closing day,
Is the children's. the husbands stay,
From day to day she has done her best,
Until death alone can give her rest;
For after the test
Comes the rest,
With the blest,
In the farmers heavenly home.

How A CAMEL GOES THROUGH THE
EYE OF A NEEDLE.-The passage from
the New Testament, sit is easier for
camel" etc., has perplexed many good
men, who have read it literally. In
oriental cities there are in the large
gates small and very low apertures.
called metaphorically needles eyesn
just as we talk of windows on shipboard
as "bulls eyes," These entrances are
too narrow for a camel to pass through
them in the ordinary manner, or even
if loaded. When loaded camel has to
pass through one of these entrances, it
kneels down. its load is removed, and
then it shuffies through on its its knees.
Yesterday" writes Lady Duff Gordon,
from Cairo, Il saw a camel go through
the eye of needle-that is, the low
arched door of an enclosure. He must
kneel, and bow his head, to creep
through; and thus the rich man must
humble himself" 80"

MRS. GEO. DAwLEY of 76 Knight Street, Provi-
dence, r. l., relates to our reporter her expert
ence with the wonderful curative properties of
what is destined soon to be the standard and
leading specific of the whole wide world, for
Kidney and Liver diseases, etc. Mrs. D. says:-
"Early last spring was severely afflicted with
torpidity of the kidneys and enlargement of the
liver, and the Kidney disease came upon me so fast
and suddenly that before was scarcely aware of
the cause of my trouble became badly bloated,
and my body and limbs very much swollen, so
that it was with great difficulty and severe pain
that was able to walk any. I became dread
fully troubled by being short-breathed so that
even slight exertion.or a little exercise woald
tire me almost to exhaustion, and was so dis
tressed when 1 retired nights that could not
sleep, and was very restless. One of my limbs
especially had very severe nervous pain, which
always seemed to be more severe at night than
at any other time, and would frequently ache SO
sharply as to arouse me from sleep. was very
nervous and uncomfortable all the time, and was
being doctored, and taking all kinds of medicine
for this complaint and that and the other, but all
to no good purpose, until at about the time when
was tired out and somewhat disguised and al
most discouraged with meu1clnes anu uocVors, q
relative and highly-esteemed friend persuaded
me to try Hunts Remedy. began to take it a
few days ago, and am happily disappointed by
the result, for before had used a bottle of it
began to feel relieved, and soon commenced to
sleep splendidly; the severe nervous pains in my
limb which 1 had to handle SO tenderly do not
appear any more, my headache and backache
have disappeared, feel well every way, and rest
well at night. The swelling has disappeared
from my body and limbs. I am now able to domy
housework comfortably and easily. Hunts
Remedy has certainly done wonders for me.

A Question Answered.

Then pray tell US what single act the
party [Mahoneite1 has peen guilty of
that in your opinion entities it to the
anathemas you so lavishly heap upon it.
We demand to know, and ask you in
common reason and justice to tell us ?"
Page Courier.
We can answer that question in few
words. By pretending to be Democrats
until you got the power in Virginia and
then for basely betraying and selling
out your people to the Republican par
ty; and whilst you act Republican, and
are the bitterest Radicals, you vainly
attempt to hide the Jack. ears and ali,
under the lions skin of Readjustment.
Your party is party of frauds, pre-
tending to great liberality; it is the
most inveterately prosciptive party that
ever ruled in Virginia.
1t pretends to be the special cham
pion of protection in order to beguile
the old Whig element of the State
And 1t proposes to protect manufactures
by taxing heavily the raw material used
in manufacturing. and it is going to
protect labor, by strengthening the great
monopolies, and by admitting free the
cheap labor of China, that can subsist
upon rats and rotten eggs.
It pretends to be- less sectional than
the Democratic party, by coalescing
with party that was founded in secs
tionalism, that declared and denounced
the Constitution of the United States as
"a covenant with death and an agree.
ment with hell" A party that waves
the bloody shirt and claims that South
erners are entitled to no consideration
unless they come within the pale of
their party.
This party of stupendous frauds pre-
tends to be in favor of low taxes when
it is acting and identified with a party
that persistently refuses to abolish the
internal revenue oppression. or even to
revise an onerous tariff, which grinds
the face of the poor. and puts $3.50, 600,
900 into the Treasury that is not needed
II this party was honest about eacour-
aging home industries and home man
ufactures, it would abolish the internal
revenue system and rely solely upon
protective tariff to support the govern,
ment But there is no honesty about
it; it is fraud. 1t has "a good rich
BONE" and, like the savage dog that il
is, it has fought for its bone and gained
it, and will hold on to it until il thuu.
ders and the gathering storm of popular
indignation descends upon it. 1t will
then skulk away, with its tail between
its legs. as only whipped cur can do
We agree with our cotempO that
the Malone dog is a greedy and vora-
cious brute, but will be content so long
- he keeps his good rich bone" He
has no desires or aspirations beyond the
'loaves and fishes" It's motto: '"Give
