The Countenances OF PrI.sts.

A writer in Blackwood's says that
"priests cannot change their priestly
countenances if they wished. For some
mysterious reason the subcutaneous
tissue over the cheelibones and under
the jaws of the cleric's face gets an un-
due supply of nourishment, which
leaves distinctive marks, while the con-
sciousness of share in the apostolic
legacy gives a muscular set to tho lips.

What's boy to the farm?"
Said town dude to farmer one day
Who had drove I'm town with horse.

And load of bright green hay.

So down the farmer sat.
Cross-legged and old fashioned,
lie began timely chat
Well, he does all the chores.
Which makes him large and stout,
He has no time for fooliug around
Or what you call strutting about
He rides the horses to the field
Goes To the post.ofiice and the store
He's always moving from bottom to top.
Whether in or out OF the door.
He has just scads OF fruit TO eat,
And all of the incest aud best,
But oh, my the sweet mountain air
Is valued above all OF the rest
Hoeing the green corn is beautiful,
And 10 guide the harrow and plow
Would make you dudes all shutter and
shake.
But it is easy TO do when you know how
He climbs TO the hilltops fresh aud wild.
The "barefooted boy" is his nams,
He's working, not shirking along thro'
life.
For fortune and for fame
He traces the rabbit and tracks the
coon
To tease the cunning fox is delight
couldn't tell half the fun he has
Flying his homemade kite.
To pare the apple and string the bean
Through the long autumn nights.
And courting and sporting with the
farmer girls
Is what the farmer boy delights
He goes to natures school, ah, yesl
Each day that comes aud goes.
Twould take from now tall holidays
To tai you all he knows
lie Is our rising statesman.
Firm is the ground upon which he
stands,
1t is our glorious farmer lads
That our government always commands
But put no faith in you "town dudes"
You are always on the alert
