THE HONEST FARMER.

How peaceful is the farmers life.
without perpleXitieS or care, re-
moved from bartering and strife,
blessed with the digestion of a bear,
he and his children and his wife
breathe every moment fresh laid
air.
While he is Slumbering his crops
grow like dudes expense account.
From natures tank the water drops
in just the requisite amount, and
that's the reason why he chops out
worry and at woe can flount.
He rises at the peep OF day, soon
as the sun begins to blink, and
bales ton of new mown hay al
most before the cat can wink, as
gracefully and quite as gay as fair
les in skating rink.
Though horny are his ample
hands, his heart is tender as a steak
cut from yearling. German
bands no sweeter melody can make
than when he in the cleaning
stands and bids his hired men
awake.
Then when he pals the gentle
COW his wife prepares an ample
meal, which he surrounds; then to
the pillow he gayly trips on toe and
heel, light hearted as the laws al
low, contented as the icemen feel.
Misfortune cannot keep him down,
though it comes tapping at his gate
and wears Henry Irving frown,
for he tolls early. LONG and late;
while others loaf about the town
he pays his mortgage while you
wait.
When it is raining on the farm
he fits off to the village store,
where dry goods statesmen with
alarm view silver, tariff, peace and
war and with a simple rustic charm
save their beloved land once more.
o farmer, with your.level head,
your whlskered chin and tWinkling
eye, without you how could we be
fed? We suffer when your crop is
shy. IT'S you that keeps the world
in bread, though it must rustic for
its pie. Xix.
