foetrn. The Independent I'nrmcr. Let sailors siim of the winily deep. Let the soldiers praise their armor, But in my heart Uu* toast 111 keep— The Independent Farmer. When first the rose, in robe of geeen, Unfolds its crimson lining, And round his cottage porch is seen The honeysuckle clinging; When banks of bloom their sweetness yield To liees their gathering honey. He drives his team across the field. When skies are soft and sunny. The blackbird clacks behind the plow, The quail pipes load and clearly, Yon orchard hides behind its bough, The home he loves so dearly; The gray old bam doors unfold His ample store in measure, More rich than heaps of hoarded gold, A precious, blessed treasure; While yonder in the porch there stands His wife, the lovely charmer, Th'* sweetest rose on all his lands— The Independent Fanner. To him the spring comes dancingly, To him the Summer Mushes; The Autumn smiles with mellow ray, His sleep old Winter hushes. He cares not how the world may move, No doubts nor fears confound liim. His little flock is linked in love, And household angels round him : Ho trusts to Qod, and loves his wife. Nor griefs nor ills may harm her. He’s nature’s nobleman in life— The Independent Fanner. A ritago Coach Adventure. Once upon a time, a traveller stepped into a stage coach. He was a young tnan just starting in life. He found six passengers about him, all grey head ed and extremely aged men. The youngest appeared to have seen at least eghty winters. Our young traveller, struck with the singularly mild and happy aspect which distinguished all his fellow passengers, determined to as certain the secret of a long life, and the art of making old age .comfortable, ho addressed the one who was apparently the eldest, who told him that ho had al ways led a regular and abstemious life, eating vegetables and drinking only wa ter. 'fhe young man was rather daunted at this, in asmnch as he had a liking for the good things of this life. He address ed the second, who astounded him by saying that he had always eaten roast beef, and gone to bed gloriously fuddled, every night for the last seventy years ; adding that all depended upon regular ity. 'The third had prolonged his days by never seeking or accepting office j the fourth by resolutely udstaining from all religious or political controvcrseys, and the fifth by getting to bed at sun set and rising at dawn. The sixth was apparently much youn ger than the other five—his hair was less gray, and there was more of it. A placid smilo denoting a perfectly easy conscience mantled his face, and his voice was jocund and strong. They <vere all surprised to learn that ho was i y ten years the oldest man in the coach. ' How, exclaimed our young traveller, is it you have thus preserved the fresh ness of life V 1 have drank water and drank wine, havo eaten meats, and have lived on vegetables, T have sometimes gone to bed at midnight and got up at sunrise and at noon, I have dabbled in politics and written religious papers, but I al ways paid promptly my printer's bills. Anecdote of Artemus Ward —In bis lecture on Artemus Ward Mark Twain tells the foil wing: When Artemus was very young, he and a companion got hold of a pack of cards and learned to play euchre. Artemus was perfectly fascinated with the game and played it as often as he had an oppor tunity ; but it bad to bo done on the sly, and ho had to hide his cards from his parents. So. when ho was looking for a place to hide them, the boys thought the safist place where they could put the cards was in the pocket of the minister’s black gown, under the very aigis of the church. 1 don’t know what irgis means, hut it’s a good word, and I suppose it’s all right. Well, the old minister was called on to baptize a convert, and as lie went down into the water wearing a gown, the cards began to come up to the surface and float oil'. The boys, who where on the bank, though in' great fear, kept their eyes on the cards. As it hapened, there come up first two bowers and three aces. Os course the boys were thrashed, and an old aunt of Artemus proceeded to lecture him on the enormi ty ol the crime. ‘Why.’ said she,’just imagine how the poor man must have felt when he saw the cards coming up! I should have thought he would have fainted, and I don’t see how he got out.’ ‘Well,’ said Artemus, ‘I don’t see how he could help going out on such a hand.’ - -*«<=»•*- ~~ The true art of being agreeable is to appear well pleased with ail the compa ny, and rather to seem well entertained with them. A man thus disposed may not have much learning, nor any wit ; but if he has common sense, ami some thing friendly in his behaviour, it con ciliates men's minds more than the brightest parts without this disposition. iOLITBLI PACIFIC GUANO.
