so VERY TRUE.

We knew a country editor once
who did much good for the town
in which he lived, doomed it, was
the direct means Of securing a
number of prosperous industries,
encouraged and supported them,
but was, finally, closed out by the
Sheriff. Then the town said ::
"He was shiftless and never could
save a dollar" when the truth
was that every man in town
owed him from 81 to $25. The
only wonder was that he managed
TO stave off the Sheriff as long as
he did This is not imaginary,

THE AMERICAN HEN.

We have read of Maud on a
summer day, who, barefooted, rak-
ed the new mown hay; we have
heard of the maid in the early
morn, who MIXED the COW with "a
crumpled horn; and we have heard
the lay the poets sing of the rust
ling corn and the flowers of spring.
but of all the lays Of tongue or
pen, there is naught like the Law
of the American hen. Long, long
before Maud raked the hay, the
American hen had begun to lay,
and ere the milk maid stirs peg.
then the hen has dropped her egg ::
the corn must hustle and the birds
of spring, ii they hold their own
with the barnyard ring. Long
live the American hen! Nav her
comb grow red as the rose in Nav.
as the eggs roll the mortgage from
the farm away.
