I know my face and hands are brown,
But I am strong and spry •
You cau not find in all the town
A happier boy than I.
With health, with hearty appetite,
Willi nothing to annoy,
It is a sweet and true delight
To be a farmer’s boy.
My pants arc patched, my cap is lorn,
There’s smut upon my nose;
My muddy shoes are badly worn—
They laugh at both the toes.
My mother makes a suit, for me
That I can soon destroy,
But it is always fun to bo
A lively farmer^ boy!
I love the mountains grand a*ul steep.
They make me think of God;
The hillside pastures, where the sheep
Browse on the tiedi, green sod;
The spreading beech and maple trees,.
The squirrels, cute and coy,
The birds, the butterdies, the bees—
1 am a farmer’s boy!
1 can with a jiick-knife carve a ship,
Or inuke a whistle shrill;
Can stones upon the river skip,
Down by the old ted mill;
The tallest trees can nimbly climb,
Can sing, can shout with with joy,
Can have a splendid, jolly time,
And be a farmer’s boy!

A SMOND LOVE*
“Another heurtaclie!”sighed John
•dllisoti, as ho 6iit noiir the open
window of his pleusant 6tudy und
watched—himself u a seen—a young
couple who went idly and pjeasuntly
strolling down one of the shady,
bower-lilte garden paths. “The old
misery of twelve years ago has come
buck, like a ghost from tile grave, to
haunt and torture me«~ Jt was Isa
bel then—Isabel, with her cruel co<
q.miry, her mercenary calculation,
her buying iw.d selling of hand and
heart; it is her sister Florece—sweet,
unconscious, innocent, beautiful
Florence—now.”
lie arose, and turning from the
window, as if the sight, that recalled
tlio past and assured him of present
suffering, were too intolerable to bits'
gazed upon, began to walk up and
down tbe room hurriedly., at the
same time communing with his own
heart.
“That I, at my ago, fifteen years
her senior, should love, manly, hope
lessly, this guv and innocent girl of
seventeen! Experience has taught
no wisdom in my case, else should l
ever have allowed my-heart to become
so bound up in one of Isabel Wil-
mer’s blood and mUhe? And, yet I
know—I know—the child is good,,
loving, pme—all that her sister was
lint: and I have grown to love her as
any life.
“For one whole year, since Shu
came home from school, she has-been
at once the joy, the hope the solace
and the torture of my life. Would
to heaven i had never seen her.
And with a grain of impatient an
guish, he Hung himself into a chair,
and hojved Ins head down on his
arms upon the table.
Long lie sat so, given up to an
emotion to winch, for worlds, he
v'ould lime had a witness; and yet
ho hud one ut the hist. ,
A fair young girl, whose light
footfall and soft, clinging dress inaoe
no sound on the thick velvet carpet
She entered at the half open door
and stood for one moment as if trans
fixed at sight of his sorrow.
The r.exi acting on the warm im
pulse of an innocent heart—she glid
ed swiftly and noiselessly to his side,
and sank upon her knees beside
him.
“What is it?” she breathed, softly
and earnestly. “Oh, dear guardian,
what troubles you so? Tell me, and
let me comfort you.”
t > •* rm-. jWt |ip..; a rnyiR
lie slmqik away as if some dread
ful thing had- risen suddenly beside
him. She here! She! Fresh from
her young lover's embraces! Per
haps herself about to speak the
words that should doom him to uu
eternity of pain!
“Go from me—go!” he gasped,
mid pushed her hands away, not
knowing, in Ins anguish and sur
prise, what lie said or did.
But the young girl, startled,
wounded, having no clew to the se
cret workings of liis mind, no sus
picion ot IDs jealous mi-.cry, contin
ued to kneel beside* him. uiid gazed
reproachfully into his agitated face,
while the tears streamed down her
own.
••You shrink from me; you will
pot let me console you. Ahl 1 know
why—1 know why! I am neither so
ignorant nor so blind as you.think-
1 know that 1 remind you of a love
deceived, a hope destroyed, a happy
time gone by. Isabel left a letter
whig!) I never told you of. 1 know
the truth!
Not all; perhaps, but enough to
guess the rest. She was to have
been your wife; you loved her dearly
Shu led yo.i on-r—poor Isabel! Siie
is dead, and she has suffered. Site
led you on until your very wedding
day. and then eloped—with a wealth
ier lover.
“The .letter tells mo how his
wealth was spent in dissipation,
while you—whom she had forsaken
for his sane—grew rich. Ho died at
last, and left her destitute.
“Then, by mere accident—if such
a thing as accident exists—you found
her out, and by your pardon, your
pi tv, your generosity, smoothed her
swift passage to the grave.
“SSho left mo to your care, a help
less orphan, scarcely ten years old,
without a friend, suve you in the
wide world. . The letter, written in
her dying hours,' was to be opened on
my Ilf teen i It birthday.
“It gave you to my cure, as, years
before, she hud given mo to yours.
‘Comfort him,’ itsuid; qnitkosonie
atonement for my sins; try to console
him.’
“God knows how gladly I would
try. But you reject me; you grieve
for tho one false woman whom you
loved, and will take comfort from
no ot tier.
And as she finished her passionate
reproach, she sank down low upon
the floor beside him; and covering
her face in half unconscious shame
of pain and heart, sobbed bitter
!y. ' : •.
The irlin’s whole soul was taken
by surprise. He stooped and clasped
lief to his bosom.
“It is not for Isabel that I grieve
now,” ho cried. “The heart she
crushed has revived again, and loves
another, dearer, truer, worthier far.
But this second love is hopeless as
the first. How can von, dear child,
'happy in an assuiod and returned
affection, sympathize with ouu who
loves in vain?”
She looked at him in shy sur
prise.
•*1 do not understand,” she .Mid,
modestly disentangling herself from
his cm brace. " \V hat affect ion ?”
He answered, bitterly:
“Do. I not sec that you and Rich
ard love each other? Why docs he
not come to ask your hand?”
The crimson deepened iii her
cheek, and she cast down her eyes.
“Ho knows already that my baud
cannot he his.” she said “You
are wrong if you think I love—
him.”
The slightest possible hesitation
before Unit last world—tho faintest
possible emphasis upon it—-and tier
cheek was red us tho heart pf the
dmmnskyoac, and her whole form
trembled strangely. Was it Lbe
contagion of her emotion that set
John Allisun trembling too?—or was
it the sweet, wild hope, springing
suddenly to life in his heart, that
3tartled him?
Ho caught her hand—a little,
Huttciiug yielding prisoner—and ul
most unconsciously kissed it.
“You do lovo some one, then?
Oh, child, if it could be that you
loved—” Then suddenly doubt
seized him—why shculd it be him—
so much her senior? No,—Ins hope
had fooled him! “Will you not
confide in me?’’ lie said, sadly "Is
there anything 1 would not do to se
cure your happiuoss? Tell me, whom
do you love?”
“Guardian,”she whispered, “can’t
you guess?”
Next miiiuto she luid ropented
those three words. They had struck
him like a blow, ilo staggered
buck, gazing at tho downcast, crim
son face: tho tight-clasped hands; the
slender form, trembling in a very
agony of maiden shame. Then, like
a flash, ho comprehended all, and
with a cry of rapturous joy caught
her to his bosom.
“Florenoe!—-my life—is it to mo
your heart is given? Am I so blest?
Oh, child! I have loved you long
without a hopo. I have siokeueti
with jealous anguish and despair.
The love that Isabel deceived had
never a'tithe, a portion of tho
passion of my manhood that is yours.
To cull you mine—my own loved
wife—is my soul’s one desire. Your
love alone can atone the sorrows of
my past amtsocuro my happiness.”
{She sank upon his nreastj her arms
stole around his neck.
“Bo happy, thou, my heart’s one
love!” she whispered.
And a second lovo was blest indeed
when John Allison claimed Florenoe
as his bride.—New York Lodger.
A curious instance of what a
simple comma can prounco has been
noticed of late. It runs as follows:
Lord Pulmerston then entered- on
his head, a white hat upon Ids feet,
large but well polished hoots upon
Ins brow, a dark cloud in his hand,
his faithful walking slick in his eye,
a menacing glare say nothing.
“pan you tell me w-hat kind of
weather wo may expect next month?”
wroLo a farmer to the editor of his
country paper. Tho editor replied:
“It is my belief that tho weather
next month.will bo very much like
youi subscription bill.” The.faruier
wondered for ail hour wImt tho edi*
tor was driving at when ho happen
ed to think of tho word “unsettled,”
lie sent a postal note.
I was never exactly buried alive,’

perienoo, "but I once worked in a

Does Prohibition Prohibit.
1 hero has been so much of ridi
cule and misrepresentation with re
gard to the actual working and re
sults of the prohibition movement,
by those who fear its effect upon the
two great political parties, and es
pecially in tho west, that it is worth
while examining uu uuluul estimate
uf the situation from ,oue of its ad
vocates. Mr. L. ftl. Latham, of
Marion Iowa, furnishes such an es
timate to tho New York Evening
Rost, which journal, with character
istic fairness, gives its spado in its
Coin hi us, although opposed to the
movement. Mr. Latham claims, in
subs',a nee, that, despite occasional
defeats, the movement is winning
its way to reasonable success; that
the “open saloons” us compared with
three years ago, is practically non
existent, boys, if no other class,j,a$^
belter protected from its,temptations
t han ever before. There is a inai-;kud
decrease in crime arising from drink
ing, us shown by police reports of ull
the largo cities and towns; while this
is less marked in the river towns,
where there is a large foreign elo.
munt, tlie popuiur estimation is that
such crime is only about one-ten (ii
of wlmt it was in the days of the li
cense saloon.
Tho order aud sobriety which now,
characterize large gatherings, as at
fairs, circuses, etc., uro so marked us
to excite comment, and employers of
railroad hands indorse the Iowa pro-
hib tory law on business grounds. A
mem bet of tho firm of Shepherd,
Weston & Co., heavy railroad con
tractors, is quoted us saying:
We never had such u quiet, indus
trious, and reliable body of men in
our employ as those we put to work
outlie Sibley extension, aud I attri
bute it to the fact that the s iloen
men did not daro follow us into Io
wa. I want to say further thut if
prohibition comes up in our slate
(Minnesota) I’m going to voto for it
on strictly business principles.
A great impetus has been given to
tnc movement bv the cold-blooded
assassination of Rev. Mr. Haddock,
one of the most prominentuudjaptivo
of those engaged in tho enforcement
of tho law and in pushing the prose
cation of its violators. It has fast*
onod a stigma upon tho saloon impr
est ami party as one which employs
assassins and uses murder us means
10 its ends, and has aroused the
determination of tho friends of tem
perance to a more rigid enforcement
of the law, a closer watoh upon its
violin ions, both upon undjseorot, and
a speedier adjustment of the penal
ties when parties aro proven guil
ty.
To tho urgument that it is impossi
ble to legislate people into virtue,
sobriety, and other moral qualities,
tho prohibitionists roply that a law
which “restrains men from moral
and physical degradation, protects
homes, and rescues unnumbered
child ion from pauperism and on me
is far better than flagrant disobe
dience and unquestioned indulgence
of personal liberty.”
In short, tho question, Doos'Jpro-
hibiiion prohibit? is omplmtically
answered in the affirmative by this
observer of its practical operation.—
