THE FARMER’S DAUGHTER.
BY ANNIE MARIA BAKNKS.
Over the corn tlelds waving bright,
And ripe Death the glowing skies of June,
Tripping along, with her burden light,
Comes the farmer’s daughter at noon.
What minds she though the sands are hoi,
And scorching the tender naked foot ?
What does she care, whether or not,
Arms lie bare to the noon day beat 7
Or what thinks she of the faded dress
Its patches hiding many a tare 7—
Why was It not made with mother’s best,
And don’t the patches show mother’s c ire?
And thus she came stripping along,
Now over the corn rows see tier pass!
Carolling snatches of quaint old song,
A blithesome winsome, farmer's lass !
Through t he corn she’s making her way
To a shaded nook at the end of the Held, •
Where resting from the work of the day,
Father’s awaiting his noon-day meal.
How her eyes brighten as she nears the place,
Peering ahead through the grain the while,
Yes, there he is now, the dear old face
Lighted up with its sunniest smile 1
And now she has placed the pail at his side,
And is turning to go, hut all 1 what’s tills 7
With parted lips—arms open wide—
“Stop, my iass, the pay is a kiss!’’
HOW AUNT SARAH WAS CURED.
BY TURQUOISE.
Nobody could findont wlat was the matter
with Aunt Sarah.She was notsiekand yetshe
was not well, and she thought she was dying.
The doctor suggested a change of air and
cheerful society. "!u fact,” he said to me,
“she is well; she just needs to believe it
and to bo kept cheerful.”
As there is plenty of the best kind of air
where we live, we had brought her to our
home in triumph, and wo had been cheer¬
ful at all.times end under all circumstances;
but Aunt Sarah resented our cheerfulness
and was dying worse than ever.
We had given her a sunny room on the
ground floor, but she discovered that she
was afraid of robbera. She took a room up
stairs, but she did not see how in the world
she could get out in case of fire.
“Better be murdered than burnt up,”
she said, as she traveled down stairs again.
She took a ride every day, but did not
enjoy it. She didn’t see why people raved
so about mountains. For her part she was
dreadfully tired of them. The air ? Oh,
yes, there was a deal of air, and dust too;
nothing so uncommon about that; people
couldn’t breathe without air, could they ?
And as for the sky being blue, why, she had
never heard of a brown sky.
She utterly refused to admire anything.
Worst of all, she refused to admire the
baby I She said he was like old Uncle Hi¬
ram, a grumpy old bachelor who was so
stingy h 3 couldn’t get anybody to have him.
And as the dear child seldom cried, she
suggested that he was probably deaf and
dumb; she had known a great many case*.
And he looked kind of puny, she thought.
“But then it was a mercy to die young,
and not live to be an ol 1 woman that no¬
body cared for."
This was such a really bad.'state of affairs
that I gave up cheerfulness and symathiz-
ed with her. But she declined to be sym¬
pathized with.
“Don’t trouble about me," she said;
“I am all right, and don’t want to be both¬
ered. All I want iB to die in peace.”
At this juncture Aunt Dorcaa came to
pay us a visit. She was Aunt Sarah’s sis¬
ter and an excellent woman ; but as she was
also a natural groaner, I clearly explained
to her the abso ute necessity of cheerful¬
ness.
"Yes, I understand,” she answered; “I
suppose she is as good as dead, poor thing;
but I’ll do the best I can for her." Then
bristling with cheerfulness and good will
she entered her sister’s room and exclaim¬
ed—
"Why, Sarah ! you do look amazing well.
You are well, ain’t you ?”
"Oh, yes, perfectly,” said Aunt Sarah,
with a sad and wilted expression : "corpses
are always well; they have got through
you know.”
“You don’t look like a corpse, aad you
shouldn’t talk so.”
"1 won't; I never talk. What* the use
of talking?”
But they went on talking, and their con¬
versation was like a liyely competition for
the crown of martyrdom. If Aunt Sarah
complained of a bad headache, Aunt Dorcas
would say,—
“Oh, there's no danger about headaches.
I have had them for years day and night,
and I have raised ten chiidren-sevenof them
boys, while you have never had but one, and
a girl at that; yet here I am most sixty, and
as strong and hearty as *an be.”
Or if Aunt Sarah had a pain in her side
and described her symptoms, Aunt Dorcas
immediately replied,—
"Why, that don’t come from the heart at
all,nor from the lungs,it's only nervousness.
I have it always on baking day’s. Oh, did
you say that it was in your right side?
That's too bad ! But it ain’t dangerous a
bit, for I’ve always had it. What with meat
and potatoes and pie to work on so long,
our livers get worn out, don’t you see? 1
suppose I have hardly any liver left by this
time; but I don’t mind it. 1 get along nice¬
ly without; and so will you when you get
used to it."
Thus the cheerfulness went on, till poor
Aunt Sarah, defeattd at every point, meek¬
ly suggested,—
"Don’t you want to go up stairs to read
the papers ? It will rest you.”
This invitation was repeated so often that
Aunt Dorcas decided to go home and read
the papers.
“I ain’t doing her no good, she told me.
She gets kind of cross with me. 1 won't try
to cheerful any more.”
The day of her departure had come. Aunt
Sarah looked really sick, and was lying on
the lounge apparently hall' dead, when Aunt
Dorcas came in for a parting talk.
"I’m sorry to see you looking so weak
and ghastly,” she said, "and if you want me
to stay—’’
"No, 1 don’t!’’ remarked Aunt Sarah,
with surprising energy.
“What I said about your being well was
because I thought it would help you. But
I know you ain’t well, nor likely to be.
Many a dying woman 1 have seen, and
none of them looked worse than you do
now. You remind me of old Mrs, Brown,
the day she died. You have the same blue
shade around the mouth, and the same
pinched look about —"
“You had better go and get ready ; you
will miss the train.”
“No, I won’t miss it, Sarah, but J am
sorry about you, for I shall never see yon
again in this world. I am going to stop at
sister Priscilla’s on my way back—you re¬
member her, don’t you ?—and if you ha' e
any—any last message—”
Aunt Sarah suddenly sat up with a jerk.
"Look here, Dorcas, that's enough and
to spare. I wouldn’t talk quite so much
like a foo! if I was you. There, now! Good
by.”
Seeing that Aunt Sarah had revived suffi¬
ciently to insult her relatives, 1 accompan¬
ied Aunt Dorcas to the depot and did my
best to comfort her.
Ou my return I found Aunt Sarah seat¬
ed in the rocking chair on the piazza, play¬
ing with the baby; and as I could hardly
believe my eyes she looked up at me and
smiled.
"I don’t wonder you stare,” she said. “I
might as well own up at last. I hare been
a fool and a goose and a bear; hut I have
got well and I am going to keep well.”
And she did.
Bald-Headed.
A member of the Hartford county bar, in
relating some reminisence of the court times
gone by, told of a ease wherein one of the
famous advocates of that time had badger¬
ed and crowded a witness until he lost his
temper. The witness incidentally said
something about a cat, and the chatty'law¬
yer seized upon this as the means of still
further worrying the witness.
“How old was the cat ?’’ asked the attor-
ney,
“I don’t know,” was the reply.
"How old do yon think she was?”
“It was a Tom cat.”
“I didn’t ask about the sex of the cat. I
asked how old it was.’
“You asked how old she wa«.”
“Well, how old was that cat?”
"I told you that, I didn't know.”
“Well, how old do you think ?”
“Oh, I can't tell.”
"You can tell bow old you think she
was."
‘ I tell you I don’t know."
“Now,” said the attorney, “I want a plain
answer to a plain question. How old do
yon think that cat was ?”
The witness looked straight at the attor¬
ney, whose shining bald bead was the most
prominent feature of his figure, and calmly
said,—
“Ob, I can't guess how old that cat was,
but she was old enough to be bald-headed.”
The lawyer’s ruddy face assumed a deep¬
er hue, and the spectators and members of
bar titered, and even the stren features of
the court relaxed into a smile at the answer
which ended that line of crossed-queation"
ing.
Temper.
An unbridled temper soon renders its pos¬
sessor unlovely in face as well as character.
Being a growing and vigorous power, it
gradually overcomes every obstacle which
stands in the way of its observations It
wrinkles the brow, lowers the eyebrows,
bends the curve of the mouth, and pouts the
lips whenever it is of a disagreeable and
selfish nature. Cultivate beauty of the soul,
for the course of feeling engendered by a
kind and generous character will always
give life and permanent animation to all the
' lines of the face.
Retorts Matrimonial.
In arguing with their wives, men are apt
to "receive as good as they send.” “Really,
my dear,” said a friend of ours to his better
half, "you have sadly disappointed me. I
once considered you a jewel of a woman;
but you have, turned out only a bit of mat¬
rimonial paste." "Then my love,” was
the reply, "console yourself with the idea
that paste is very adhesive and in this case
will stick to you as long as you live.” "See
here,” said a fault-finding husband, "we
must have things arranged in this house so
that we shall know where everything is
kept.” "With all my heart,” sweetly an
swered his wife, “and let us begin with your
late hours, my love. I should dearly love
to know where they are kept." He let
things run on as usual. It is not often,
however, that one comes across such a
crushing retort as that which a Sheffield
husband received from his wife the other
day, through the medium ^>f the public
press. lie advertised in one of the local
journals that, he, Thomas A--, would no
longer be answerable for the debts incurred
by his wife, who seems to have bsen a truly
admirable creature, if one. may jud„e from
the advertisement which she published
next day in reply ; “This is to notify that I,
Elizabeth A-, am able to pay all my
own debts now that I have got shut ot Tom¬
my.’.’ There are some other wives living
who can sympathize with Elizabeth, possi¬
bly. Some husbands would be obliged to
1 confess, if they told the plain unvarnished
truth, that when they led their wives to
the altar their leadership coins to an end.
"Your future husband seems very exacting;
he has been stipulating for all sorts of
things,” said a mother to her daughter, who
was on the point of being married “Never
mind, mamma,” said the affectionate girl,
who was already dressed for the wedding,
“these are his last wishes ” This is a com-
plete reversal of the ancient creed, In
many instances, the state of the case is
rather something like the following: "HI
am not at home from the party by ten
o’clock," says the husband to his better half
“don’t wait for me." “That I won't," re¬
plies the lady, significantly; “1 won't wait,
but 1 11 come for you." He is home at ten
o’clock precisely.
Beware of the Cloak.
A scientist, in the interest iff married
men and the oppressed of t*ll nations, has
advanced a new idea that will fill a want
long felt, and afford all men wTio take ad¬
vantage of it immediate relief in this hour
of their affliction. He says these new fur-
lined circulars are unhealthy and should be
abolished. It appears that the fur-lined
cloak has the same effect on a woman da a
diamond pin on a man’s shirt bosom has
on the man who wears it. A man with a
diamond pin on cannot have his coal but¬
toned up, for fear the pin will not show,
and in nine cases out of ten, unless he is
careful to wear a sheepskin protector, Re
catches an awful cold and is liable to die.
More has been written by scientists
medical men upon the folly of wearing
diamond pins on the shirt front than *pon
any other of the modern fashions Jo wlueii
mortal man is addicted. And it seems the
fur-lined cloak is also a worm that fs gnaw¬
ing at the bud of oqr beautiful types of wo¬
manhood, and making consumptives out of
them. The trouble is a woman is bound t©
have about five or six buttons of her fur-
lined cloak unbuttoned at the bottom so
the cloak will blow back and expose the
fur. But women seem determined, in the
face of all this testimony, to stick to the
fur-lined cloak and brave death in one of
its most horrid form* They have eithfr
got to button up the fur-lined cloak or wear
a sheepskin chest protector.—[Peck’s Sun.
Laziness.
Laziness, always offensive, is particular¬
ly so in a young person. To learn to work,
and work cheerfully, is the central lesson of
life. Begin to learn it early—eschew
ness as the most disgusting of alliiults, and
one that will surely end in hopeless misery;
for, depend upon it, none cau bs so insen¬
sible through laziness as to be, in the ent^
incapable of suffering. Nature, in the
of a non-payment of her demands, h
and merciless creditor. Therefore; boys, off
wiih your jackets and keep square your ac¬
count with her,
Here is a story for temperance orators:
A party of six camped out in Wisconsin on
a cold night. After supper two drank
liquor moderately, two freely, and two let
it alone. In the morning the temperance
men arose refreshed, the light drinkers
were stiff with cold and hardly able to.rise,
and the two who drank freely were frozen
to death The accomplished prevaricator
who tells the story forgets to state which
party be belonged to,
