STEADY go slow, my bonnie mare
The road is rough, and overhead
Clouds low'r; the weather is not fair,
And you and should be in bed.
Whoap! You go too fast gait:
Wen get there soon. The night, know,
Is wild and rainy, and twas late
The call came, bonnie.-Whoapl go slow.
Slower say. The deep'ning shade
OF night hangs like darksome pail,
And, tho know the way. you Jade
Go slow 1 cannot see at all.
Well, do your best. While can hear
The purring sulky-wheels go round,
I'll trust your eyes. and never fear,
For they, know, are good and sound.
What need fear on such night,
Or such q roadY I've ridden miles enough
On nights like this-no stars In sight
To almost span the earth; and rough
The weather seemed. But OH I'm cold,
So cold tonight. should have staid,
Perhaps-as am growing old
At thome.-Move on, my bonnie maid
This gait would suit me once, but now
My eyes seem growing dim; and still
The mare sees well, and Is not slow
To pick the road, or climb hill.
'Tis inky dark tonight, and tho
cannot see my hand before
My face, that mare, surely know,
Will keep the road. Ah she's goerl
Go on, my beauty! don't hear
The patter of your boofs, and yet
1 know that we are flying.-Queer
That don't see the lights My pet,
Go on go on Wen soon be there,
And then, warmth, and light will come.
Go on go on my bonnie marel-
Aha light We're homel We're home.

THE HARDY HOMESTEAD.

Noted For its Fine, Large and Commodious
Buildings, its Broad Rolling Fields, and
Most of All, its Choice Herd of Ho,-
stems.
Thirty-three years ago last January
a young man of twenty. eight with his
newly welded wife of twenty-five, a
bride of just one month, left the home
of their childhood and youth in
Ashtabula, Ohio, and came to Michigan
to make their home in little log house
out in Bennington township on a
quarter section of land only two acres
of which was cleared and only about
forty acres even chopped off, even here
the tree trunks for the greater part still
lying where they fell. Today in their
big, roomy farm home they can look
past their great barns, over the gently
rolling fields where their handsome
herds are contentedly browsing and they
have abundant reason for thankfulness
and content. Their fields now cover
two hundred acres, while directly across
the road Is another farm of one hundred
twenty acres which is also practically a
part Of the other since it was given to the
only son, who now lives on 1t within
stones throw of the old homestead.
The owners of this, one of Shiawassee's
handsomest and best stock farms, still
| hale and hearty in spite of advancing
years, are Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin. b.
Hardy.
After one goes south across the Maple
river and passes the Bennington No. 9
school house, he soon comes to part
of the road whsre rows of fine, thrifty
hard maple trees, trees that would com
pare with any of Owosso's famous shade
trees, adorn either side of the road and
