Gently, traveller noticed an old

OF waggish nature he appropriated
the bottle. got the coat on the stran-
ger. aud then pulling out the flask,
said:
"Will you take drink. sirY
The old man did not recognize the
bottle, and drawing himself up, re.
marked rather severely:

a boy my mother died. and the last
thing that sainted mother seid was to

Here the old mau clapped his hand
10 his side pocket and found it empty
and recognizing the bottle in the
hands of the other he continued:

for the flask he pressed it to his lips

NO. IS
THE FARMERS WIFE.


Up with the birds in the early morning,
The dewdrop glows like precious gem,
Beautiful TINS in the skies are dawning,
She has nsver q moment to look at them.
The men are waiting their breakfast early.
She must not linger. she must not wait,
For words that are sharp and looks tbat are
snrly
Are what men give when meals are late.
Oh! glorious color the clouds are turning,
Ifshe could but Just look over the trees,
But here is the dishes and there is the
churning;
Those things must slw avs yield to these.
For the world is filled with the wine Of
beauty,
II she could but pause and drink 1t in;
But pleasure, she says, must wait for duty,
Neglected work Is committed sin.
The dav gr' ws hot. her hand grows weary,
Oh for an hour to cool her head
Out with the birds in the wind so CHEEKY,
But she must get dinner and bake the
bread;
The busy men in the hay field working,
Should they see her sitting with folded
hands,
They would call her lazy and say she was
shirking.
She never could make them understand.
They do not know that the heart within
Is filled with hunger for things sublime;
They only know they want their dinner,
Plenty of ii and just on time,
Then alter the sweeping and churning ard
baking,
And dinner and dishes are all put by
She sits and sews, though her head Is achirg
Till time for supper and chores draw nigbs
Her boys at school must look like otf en-.
She says.as she patches their frocks AID
hose,
For the world is quick to eensure mothers
For the least neglect of children's clothes.
Her husband comes from the field of labor,
He gives no praise to his weary wife:
She has done NO more than her busy
neighbor,
'Tis the lot of all in country life,
But after the strife and weary tussle,
When life il done and she lies at rest,
The nations brain and heart and muscle,
Her sons and daughters, shall call her
blest,
And think the sweetest joys of Heaven.
The rarest bliss Of eternal life,
The iairest crown Of all will be given
Unto the way.worn farmers wife.

attracted the attention of the life-saving

being the bearer OF a telegram. But ter
