The Gov'ner.

Twas a quaint and square old farmhouse, far
from the busy town,
Its moss-grown roof and painless sides looked
in the sunlight brown;
Grand old woods stretched far away on the
north and eastern side.
While on the west the grass and grain reached
to the oceans tide;
The sutumn sun was sinking low behind the
distant hill
! Down by the stream that came between was
| hushed the busy mill.
| Within this rusty farmhouse porch, their
weary DAYS work DER.
1 Sat the old farmer. wife and son. as they had
oft before.
The son, sturdy, noble lad. spoke in tremb-
ling voice:
Father. you know my staying here has never
been from choice.
'Gov'ner'-I call YOU that. you know, from
love bear TO YOU
In all these years I've labored bard, been faith
ful and been true;

Perhaps II may seem hard 10 you to lose your
only son.
You have enough for every want, you need
rot labor more.
But live quiet, restful RE, from your sbund-
ant store
Tomorrow ends the week, The month, my la
bors on the farm.
I'm going awsy-lfve settled that-Ive talked

The farmer bowed his weary head upon his
bressi and ~ept,
Time to the beating Of her heart the wife with
knitting kept;
With firm set lips and gli-tening eyes the lad
awaits his doom,
Then SLOWLY comes to him voice as out the
gath ring gloom
