Yes, neighbor, I am purely now, Jane, my wife you know. 1b gettiu' pale nughty ’peaked feeble, sho'. too, an J sometimes see too cormier of litt'e threadbare shawl A steal in’ upward to her fail; eyes to ketch lire tears that I see them, an’ I whistle, but lump within my throat, In spite of all my efforts, puts a quaver in the note. You know that to be merry, with five little mouths to feed, A-knowiu’ they haitfit half enough, is pretty hard, indeed, Fur what I’m tedia’ you is true, as shore as you are born, The bailiff’s leveled on an’ tuk the last ye.u' of my corn. Jest letnmo _ , nave your hnneabit, , an puss think, your phig o’ Weed, An’then I perhaps, I may find courage to perCeod. You richeriect that mule 1 bought, an’ give tny mte b istdes? Well, in the busiest plowin’ time, the critter up’n died: So then we hud to scuffle roun’, an’ break my Jimmie’s steer, A if make out jest the best wo could the balance of the year. 5 he drouth, hit. cut the corn crap off, not bait a ii crap was made. It set. in then to rainin’ like as if ii bad been pa d, Tell what with drouth an’ drowndia’ an’ bad luck of every sort, The cotton shedded half its fruit, an’ turned out pow’ful short. J promised two bales fur the rent. an’ fur the mule two more, An’ iowei to git my eight or nine, fa but barely the gathered four, consequeij.be cotton went to pay them what 1 ow d, Which leg me nary cent to sp. ed us down the New Year's road. Yet, I'll not grumble, neighbor, not withstandin' of this thorn, Fur God lie gave the harvest tho’ the baiHil' took the corn. ’ Yet, 'aa’ pardner when the buffiff tuk Unit corn away. it was the saddest, saddest time I’ve seen in many a day; Fur’twas the on y grub we bad, an' when twus sacked an tied. Fivtrehuaren knew just wnat . meant, an’ ail sot down an’ cried. Misfortunes never singly opme, J. think I’ve licetd it said; We’d been a livin’ thou ten meat,now we were thouten bread, So w hat was left for me to do bu ; kill ptro faithful Ball, Who’c made our crap iu summer time, an’ hauled it in the full: Who’d plow, his tongue a Rangin’ out, jest like a horse we said, An’ pick Ins livm’ after night when we were snug in b id, To kill that gentle tittle hard. beast, that worked for us so 1 tell you 'twas the ungodUeat task life ever set me, pard; alius But poverty an’ sentiment, they ill agree, An’ so I stayed that little steer mos' like a child to me. The children cried again, at fust, then laughed that we forlorn, Had now enough of meat, altho’ the bailin'Lad the corn. My wife had sot Irer heart upon a But she bran will new hatter Sunday gown, the old wear so frazz'ed, thin an’ brown: An’ Santy Ciaus, the children thought would come Christmas Eve, To fill with gimcracks all their socks before he tuk his leave; But Santy is a restererat, he is, fur sartin shove, A humpin’ ’long to see t ekipprn’ all the pore. Sore disappmted were th n 1, an’ I among the rest, Because I could not shoe them all, nor have them warmly dressed. My credit, it had given out down An’ yonder paid at the store, I’d had, till I for what Fur they’d let me have balance no more; stood, ginst journals me yet a their to adorn, the’d A notwiihstandiu’ of the fact’, sent and got ray corn. God knows I worked the blessed year, an’ ’twas no fault of mine That craps fell short an’ notes come due an’ I come out behioe; ’Tie hut the same old problem tried, thun solved these many years, The landlord thrives upon the rent wet with his tenants tears: An’ tenants they grow shiftless, pard, despair, and try no more, £ ‘OC R AMBITION IS TO MAKE A VERACIOUS WORK, RELIABLE IN ITS STATEMENTS, CANDID IN ITS CONCLUSIONS, AND JUST IN ITS VIEWS.” Who.!

When commercial fertilizers were fuot put on tho market, agents went to the farmers direct and sold them. One day an ageut tackled the young farmer above mentioned and induced him to buy a few sacks of fertilizer. ’These were shipped to the nearest railroad station and one (Saturday the ycung fanner drove over for them. They were piled in in the wagon and the farmer started home. A short way out from town he pitched everyone of the sacks in to„a gully, and reaching home wrote the agent as follows: ’,You’ll find your old guano m a a gully near the depot. I wouldn’t receive it, for when it got here the durn stuff was spiled ,o bud a man couldn’t get in half a mile of it.” The agent lot him off from payment. The Southern Farm, Mr. Henry W.
