When took my seat fully intended to
write about the backward condition In
the season. but Brown turned loose In one
of his poetic strains and l am compelled
to humor his whim-hear him:
There is no use 10 be a-grievins,
For the world Is decefvfng
That it's mighty hard to Judge OF what
is best:
Do the best you can each day,
Kick trouble from the way,
And the Lord is mighty sure to do the
rest.
fully agree with my old friend in the
contention that men are prone to mistakes
in their Judgment of what Is the best.
He is a comfort TO When he has
this sort Of spell on him and l give way
to his whims more than at other Times
This happy philosophy is generally fpon
him IN the spring, when fish had rather
bite. and I take 1t that 1t Is better for
the reader and myself that we let him
have his bent
Green truck IS in the garden and young
chickens on the way:
Eggs are Just a-wasting and there's nam
for every day:
The cattle have good grazing and the milk
IS pouring down,
And there's been enough Of honey TO taxa
lot 10 town.
There are beans in the bunch and beans
on the mole.
And we'll have them hot for dinner, and
at supper take them cold:
The potato beds are humming and at dig
ging time It's clear.
Well have 'pOssum and potato along
with 'simmon beer

Nan the girls of tou,na What country
| family but what NAV have good dinners
on meeting days? | have seen mighty few
country families but what had these
meals for company and precious few OF
them but what likes COMPANY When
company comes the ladies Of the house
have their chance for showing off and
they all like to show off. You are most
certain to get chicken. At dinner yo4
may get chicken pie or chicken stew, with
a variety of vegetables fresh from the
garden with plenty of milk and some
berry pies
