The Farmers Seventy Years.

All, there he is, lad, at the plough;
He beats the boys for work,
And whatsoeer the task might be,
None ever him shirk.
And he can laugh too, till his eyes
Run o'er with mirthful tears,
And sing full many an old-time song,
In spite ofseyenty years.
'sGood morning friends tits twelve O'Clock,
Time for half hours rest
And farmer John took out his lunch
And ate it with zest.
GA harder task it is,'' said he,
ethan following up these steers,
Or mending fences, far, for me
To feel my seventy years.
You ask me why 1 feel so young;
I'm sure, friends, L can't tell.
But think it is my good wife's fault,
Who kept me up so well;
For women such as she are scarce
In this poor vale of tears;
She's given me love ,and hope and strength,
For more than forty years.
And then my boys have all done well,
As far they have gone.
And that thing warns an old mans blood,
And helps him up and on;
My girls have never caused pang,
Or raised up anxious fears;
Then wonder not that 1 feel young
And hale at seventy years.
Why don't my good boys do my work,
And let me sit and rest?
All friends, that wouldn't do for me;
1 like my own way best.
They have their duty; l have mine,
And till the end appears,
1 mean to smell the soil, my friends,''
Said the man of seventy years.

Shakespeare Got Her.
From the Ne,g York SIM

Harry Kernel tells story about his recent
trip south. He was at dinner IN a Mississippi
hotel when he sudd My discovered that he was
beng waited upon by tall, majestic and re-
markedly fine looking colored girl. She was
autocratic, exclusive and Superccus to re-
markable extent but finally Mr.. Kernel suc-
ceeded in winning her confidence, and they
started in to converse.
wouldn't you like to come over to the
theater to-night?" said the actor, putting some
more sugar in his coffee, and reaching for the
corn bread.
"Vriety show, isn't it?'
We'll. yes, said Mr.. Ker9ell, II believe 80.
'No, sah,' said the girl, sedately. Don
care for vriety shows. Dey bore me-.
what sort of shows do you like?"
well can't say | care much for theaters,
anyhow. Seems mighty silly for people to run
around the stage trying to make themselves be-
lieve they're funny"
Il should think Mary Anderson might please
you thenf"
NO sir; don't care fob Miss Anderson She
looks too much like a sycamore tree-like a
sycamore tree wavin' is long limbs in the winter
time"
DO you like Oliver Doud Byrop?'
"No. sah he boreS me too. He's one of those
wretched creatures that thinks it's funny to
shoot off guns and things on the stage. No,
Cont care for Mister Byron"
What do you think Of Fanny Davenport"
Miss Davenport. said the waitress languidly
"wearies me, too. She always has some
wretched lover that she is trying to die for on
the stage The fact is as | said befoh, play
actors bore me; but when one of Mstah William
Shakespeare's plays come along here they

But he would have spoken had you remained,

THE GIRL OF AssYRIAN STYLE.
She Never Heard Rose-Colored
Story in Her Life.
Bnb in the Neg York Sta,


Bub, in the Nec York Star.
The Assyrian, in the form of the out of town
girl, has captured New York She is a delicious,
interesting type and quite diff rent from those
one meets here at the Branch. She finds all
things good, and believes that the stares given
to her remarkable getup are simply admira
ton. She is quite satisfied to be along with
mother and all the children, but down in the
depth of her heart she hopes that some time
during the evening she can stray off with John
and see the electric light in the park. One
doesn't approve of her gown, but look in her
face and you can't but approve of he morals.
She never heard rose-colored story in her
life. She believes in everybody she meets and
thinks that the conductor on the street car, the
salesman in the shops and the man who takes
her photograph, all have special interest in
her, and, If five years from now, she should
come back and go to the same place she'd be
dreadfully disappointed if they didn't remem-
Der her In a body she IS given to talking
great deal in public; il you listen you will find
that 1t is all about the wonders of the great big
city, and first foremost and lastly about the
delights of the shops
She doesn't think it quite nice to have under
wear displayed so prominently in the windows.
for, as she tells her mother, she certainly would
not like John TO see it, and the emphasis she
lays on the certainly" convicts her of coming
from the south. She was horribly shocked the
other day at saleswoman who wanted to sell
her some of those little silk vests that worn
in place of chemises and asked her mother
what the woman thought about her that she
should expect her to leave off the garment
which in her eyes was an evidence of absolute
virtue. She does not even understand if she
wears such old-tashioned things, THAI they
ought to be trimmed at the top aud bottom, for
she thinks that isn't quite right
You can't help but like this type. and some
how you feel certain when all this shopping is
over and the family at home, that she and John
will be married, and that they'll have the incest
lot of babies imaginable I'm always wonder
ing where New York gets it's people and now |
am certain, as l counted five babies to one
family the other day, that, like oranges and
grapes, and lot of other good things the
south and west furnish the supply.

find that it was dated June %, and that she
had remarked, therefore, before being di-

and begged him to change the date. II the
woman had acted with any sort of decency
about remarrying. this trouble would have

The first big scare which Saratoga has
had this season occurred on Tuesday night,
when the rumor got abroad that the great
hotel, the Grand Union, was on fire. The
impression was that there was going TO be a
big blaze, and the guests rushed into the
streets carrying their diamonds and other
valuables with them. 1t was soon discov-
cred, however, that the fire, which was
caused by an electric light wire, was small
one, and that it could be easily controlled.
When it was officially announced that the
fire was out, abou5 half the population of
Saratoga was packed in the streets around

from the Boston Courier.

FROM the Boston Courier.
IT'S whisperc on the mountain high,
IT'S whispered on the shore,
IT'S whispered where the shadows lie
Beside the cottage door.
IT'S whispered when the lowing trains
Have reached the pasture bars,
'T'is whispered in the scented Lane
Beneath the silent stars.
When night d5scends on grove and glade,
And flowers are gemmed with dew,
'Tis whispered In the orchards shade
And on the piazzas, too.
Full often at the garden Fate,
Where lovers bill and coo,
IT'S whispered when the hour is late
And when tits carly too
'Tis whispered on the fiowery leas,
Where wauton zephyrs play,
The simple sentence, Henry, please,
Do take your arm away"
