The Farmer and His Wife.

When Autumn is here, with its 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,
The Winter goes,
He rests from the work of the land
But the willing wife, till Lies closing day,
Is the childrens guide, 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.
- Christian Union.

People Will Talk.

You may get through the world, but twill be
very slow,
If YOU listen to all that is said as you go;
Youth be worried and fretted, and kept In
stew,
For meddlesome tongues will have something
to do
For people will talk.
If quiet and modest, you'I have 1t presumed,
That your humble position Is only assumed;
You're wolf in sleeps clothing or else
you're a tool;
But don't get excited, keep perfectly COOL
For people will talk.
If generous and noble, they'll vent out their
spleen.
You'll hear some loud hints that you're sell
ish and mean;
If upright, honest, and fair as the day.
They'll call you rogue in sly, sneakinS
way
For people will talk.
And then II YOU show the least holiness of
heart,
Or a slight inclination to take your own part,
They viii call you an upstart conceited and
vain;
But keep straight ahead, don't stop to ex
plain
For people will talk.
II threadbare your dress, or oldfashioned
your hat,
Some one will surely take notice OF that
And hint rather strong that you can't pay
your way;
But don't get excited, whatever they say
For people will talk.
IT YOU dress in the fashion, don't think to es-
cape
For they criticise then in q different shape;
You're ahead of your means, or your tailor's
unpaid;
But mind your own business, there's naught
to be made
For people will talk.
Now, the best way to do is to do as you please,
For your mind, ii you have one, will then be
at ease;
OF course you will meet with all sorts OF
abuse,
But don't think to stop them, 1t amt any
use,-
For people will talk.
