could get a taste of farm life. It
has its troubles, its trials, and its
tribulations, but the'compensation
for all these lies in the independ
ence of those who are really farm
ers. There are a great many men-
who manage to eke out a scanty,
livelihood on the farms, but these
are not farmers. They are the un-
happy souls who run along the old
ruts and believe that credit is bet
ter than progress.
The truth is,, there is noth
ing substantial but farming, and
urrection. And you did truly
miss me, soul of mine?”
“As sunlight is missed when
mom is all a mist, for tliou art a
miss in whom is naught amiss.”
“So mean’st thou not that I’m a
naughty miss, that speed}, hath
won thee twenty kisses, dear;
there’s ten for value of its compli
ment, and ten for the brilliance of
its courti} wit.”
“If that’s me compliment, I’ll
score it, tender one, and wager
thee tender one I’ll raise me due.”
“As rays on dew obliterate the
dew, if so thou do, tboul’t lose thy
due, my dude.”
“Adieu to -this fair duelist, or
else thou’ll dun thy senses ere
thou’rt. Thou’rt such a wilting at
this war of wit that thou might’s!
whittle till there’s not a wait.”
“A chipper c*it, thou axiomatic
youth! There’s hint therein that
I’ve a wooden mind.”
r ‘T wooden mind a hint like that,
me love. Let’s block this raillery,
and shingle out some other fuel
for our pleasantry.”
“We will, Henrico, an’ it please
thee so. We’ll coax the coke to
brighter glow the while I woo thee
with my coquetry.”
“Beam on me with that purpose,
maid, for I’m mood to like thy vo
cal timbre, when I’m wooed.”
