“A’Map of Busy Lite—Us Fluctuations and tta Vast Concerns*”
Kill JAY, GA., THURSDAY* MARCH ,10, Aw 2.
“Lot® Th? Neighbor.”
I glanced over the hedge and ifiwod Mi
My neighbor's land *d mine,
And I seemed to list the giowisg word*
Of an ohl familiar lie#;
“Thou shalt love tliy neighbor a* thyadt,"
And I wondered if it could mean
l must love my neighbor's daughter, too,
A lassie just eighteen l
The ringing steel a sung in and out,
And still the kindly chime,
“Thou shall love thy neighbor a* thyself,"
My scythe and my heart keep time.
I'lic merry boboliuk caught the tune,
And sang as lie flew,
As if he knew the old re'Tula,
Aud knew what love was, too,
The lassie heard the gay bind slug,
And that was why, that day,
Adown the fields ot billowy grass
Her footsteps chanced to stray.
Ami if my scythe, forgotten, l#H*
As I softly called her name,
“Thou slmlt love thy neighbor as t' ysrif,"
Must surely bear the hi mo,
I conned the sweet words oYr aud o>C,
And as two learn better than one,
The lassie learned them; their meaning, too,
E'er l dreamed my task was done;
And when I asked her to help me keep
That bloet command, aiway,
As the best ami deare t boon of life,
She could not say me “Nay."
The sun rolled on, ami went down at last,
To be lost in a sea of gold;
But the half of all our beauiiful thought#,
Life is all too short to unfold,
But this I know—youth’s swuetwrt song
Was to music se' that day, [swung
While my heart kept time, as Ute old scythe
Adown the billows of hay.
THE BROTHER’S RETURN,
It was a stormy wight. Farmer
Gowlaml ar.d his wile sat bel'ere
their great fireplace together.
The boys had gone out with the
servant to see to the cattle, and
husband and wife were alone. .
The farmer was a stoat, study,
muldle-aged man, with a hand
some face, which one would have
called merry; but to wight as he
looked into the embers a change
came over him, which only his
Wife knew, and he put <JWt his
hand lo her ts iffor comfort,
“Elsie,” he said, “yon knew
how l .suffer when a storm like
this breaks over the valley. Il I
live lo be filly years older than I
am it will always be so. When
Jack went away the wind moaned
as it does now; and whew he
opened the door the raiw beat tt,
and swept across the lioor, and I,
saw the zigeag lightning darting
over the black hills. Yes, he
went away in the storm, lass, and
I let him go—penniless and
afoot—in a storm like this. I
should have remembered that he
was my younger brother; that he
had not a penny while all this
place was mine. Yon were bnt a
child then, a flaxen haired lassie
of twelve, and I was a man oT
five-and-lwenty an and he nine
teen. We were both in love with
one young woman, Nannie Con
ner. We quarrelled about her.
She was an arch croquette, and
led us on, laughing in her sleeve,
and she betrothed to the rich
squire’s son all the while. Bnt
we , brothers fought about her.
andi saw out into the
storm. I know the poor lad whs
so helpless, so ill filled to fight j
with life. We had not much ed'
ucation, aud my father bade me
share all with him on his death
bed. I was the eldest sow, and I
let him go. Lassie, l think eld
Beau here knew it and hated me
for it for years. Beau loved Jack
80.” . 1
“But Beau laves you now,” said
the wife, “Here, Beau, here,
come and speak to your master 1
At these words aw old dog per
fectly blind and weak with age,
crawled from beneath a tall aet
tee and felt his way lo hi* mas
ter’s side.
The farmer let his band fall on
his head,and the dog threat nis
nose into the great brown palm.
“Beau cannot lira long new,
