THE FARMERS BOY.

l know my face and hands are brown
But l am strong and spry;
You cannot find in all tho town
A happier boy than I.
With, health, with hearty appetite,
With nothing to annoy,
1t is a sweet and true delight
To be u farmers boy. ....
My pants are patched, my cap Is torn
There's smut upon my nose;
My muddy shoes are badly worn--
They laugh at both the toes.
My mother makes a suit for me
That I can soon destroy,
But it is always fun to be
A lively farmers boy.

They make me think of God;

Browse on the fresh green sod;
The spreading beach and maple trees,
The squirrels, cute and coy,
The birds, the butterflies and bees

! can, with jack-knife, carve ship,
Or make IL whistle shrill;
Can stones upon the river skip,
Down by the old red mill
The tallest tees can nilnbly climb,
Can sing and shout with joy
Can have a splendid, jolly time,
And be a farmers boy

A Remarkable Story,

1t was past ii o'clock when I opened
the door and the black cat walked slow
ly out and down the steps, waiting to
see il I followed. I turned up the
collar of my coat, for the air was chilly
and went out again into the beautiful
October night. The street was as 81
lent as the footballs of the 1.-the animal
softly WALKING down the steps. The
black cat led the way, and | followed.
Why, l do not know.
Two nights before | had walked up
from my Office late with friend. 1t
was long past midnight when we turn
ed into the quiet street where | lived
talking about | know not what. Sud
denly there stepped out Of the shadow
of huge tree black cat. Looking
neither to the right nor the left, she
walked deliberately before us.
"lIa" said my friend, with tragic
air, "a cat-a black cat. Let us follow
the cat
And then he laughed, and even as
he walked the echoes down the street.
cannot tell why--I shivered. The
cat walked silently along past the low
er steps of the flights leading down
from the houses, keeping pace or two
ahead of us. My friend left me at his
door, SAYING, "Good-night. Beware Of
the cat l went on to my house not
far beyond. At the steps the cat
stopped, hesitated for a moment, and
then walked up to the door. Somewhat
surprised, l followed.
do not like cats They seem to me
to be treacherous, dangerous brutes and
am even half afraid of them. But
when the black cat stopped at my door
l determined, for some iuexpllcable rea-
son, to admit her. She seemed to
know my room for she walked up the
single flight of stairs before me and
entered the room as | opened the door.

The next evening came in earlier;
1t may have been 10 o'clock. The
black cat met me at the door and dart.

l stopped down and softly stroked the
animals back, at the same time olsen
gaging her claw. Then | turned and
entered the house, and the cat, after a
moment Of apparent irresolution, fol-
lowed me, mewlng strangely.
The next night she again met me at
the door and the effort to draw me
from the house was repeated. The de-
sire was so apparent that | was puzzled
and, own, a little disturbed. The
cat went with me to my room, and,
sitting there in the freight, with her
bright eyes staring at me, formed a
purpose to yield to this curious whlm
if it were again displayed. | tried to
reason with myself but REASON seemed
to have given way to an impulse as un-
