And all the joy that fills the air, - And all the light that jilds the blue, I see it in your eyes and hair, I know it, love in you.

A wealth of love, a threat of loss, fieyond inv subtlest speech. nd The amethyst flush will fade above Into the dust-dim glare of noon; The love of youth, the youth of love, Will fade and pass as soon.

[Correspondence of the Sun.] Binghamton, Lately.?a Fultor man found out "What I Kuow abou Farming" this wise: Said lie, "John do you know the besi way to raise potatoes I" S.i)'8 I, "1 do." "* Says, he "How?" "Why," says I, "grab hold of the topi with both hands and pull 'em up." lL Says he, "Go to Grass." So I started to grass, and I am now or a trip over the UAj Railway. It's a goot time to go on a railroad. The trees areal 11 disrobed, and t& leaves are through i blushing and turoing all colors. Whal last spring was a lamblet is now a muttonlet. Green peas have turned to shot. , and so for ih. ' ' MISTAKEN IN HIS MAN. The first thing I did after getting intc , the cats was to try and make myself agree able. The attempt proved a failure. 1 saw a fellow with a package in his hand "f and I said to him, "Have a game?" "Game of what?" said he. "Seven-up." said I. There isn't so much bitternes in a ton o boiled aloes as there was in the expressiot of that fellow's face. Intense scorn anc malignity struggled for the mastery as he yelled out, "No sir; I'm a minister." 11 M ' Gr/vn n\oH "~tvei>, ' smu i, juu uccuu u piv uiuu. Nobody ever would believe it unless yoi ( told 'em so." i?c Then I told him on closer inspection h( in- did look like a minister?a miuister peui ,.s t( ntiary?and lacked him what he waf , doing with those cards. He said tiny were wot cards, the}r wen blank tickets for the Sunday School libra \ ry. - Then I said "What might your nam< be?" 1 He eaid, "Dames." Then I said, with a smile, "Tliere ar< lots of barns all over the country, ain there?" To this day he has never answered tha question. He moved into another car. A POOU LITLTE IX) Y'S TICKET. Back of me sat a little boy, he had i half ticket. The conductor punched it. . said to hitn, "Is that boy obliged to hav< a whole ticket to travel on this train?" 1 He said "No." "Wed," said I "he's got one." r He hain't," said he. "I'll bet you," said I. "It was a hal ticket until you punched i?; that made i a hole one." lie intimated that he would "puncl me;" so we did'nt continue to converse talk with a Miller. I moved over next to a feli 'v who wai a devoid of nose. "Ahem," si..J I, "casi of mayhem?" "No,'' he said, "mydorg chewed it of | last July." ' "Ah!" not a case of mayhem, but July hem, eh." 'Tie you from York?" said he. t*. "I am, said I." "Do you know Smith, said he." "Smith," said I, "what Smith?" "No not Watt Smith, but Mister Smith he keeps a store down there." 1* lie was surprised when I told him "J never heatd of him." "Hewer of water and chopper of grass,' I exclaimed, "what is your biz." lie .said he was a miller. "Gin miller," said I." ".No sir" said he, "1 conduct a well reg ^ ulated, Christian saw mill." "Ah," said I, "you are a Millcrite Hj" then." Just then I made further remarks u I observed, "the country looked fine." J I didu't exactly know how the couutrj ought to look to look liDe, but I hit it e tight, for he said, "Yes," and he said wc t were passing through a dreary country. s "Do they run trains nights through a i dreary country?" I asked sweetly. t He said yes, and said they made mighty a good cheese in that section. I related to i him how "I didn't like mite-y; good f ; cheese;" then I told him "Truth, was g 1 mighty and would prevail, and cheese was a | raite-y, and that was prevailing to a con- s ! siderable extent, too," 1 SLICES FROM A CLUll. 1 Then we stopped for grub, and E can swear that I saw a man sell slices sawed oil a policeman's club for Bologna sausage sandwiches, and I was served with a peice of the steak old John Rogers was | . burned at, and it was burned ten per i cent worse than he was, and tougher than a parboiled pump handle on toast. The proprietor asked me if I had been c served? I told him yes, I had been serv-! ed darned meaniy. When I got into the cars again the s Millerite observed, "the pen is mighter i than the sword." I told him that wasn't c t the case with a hog pen. Then we com- 1 muned about the grass crop. lie said he 8 t was much troubled with ground hogs. * "So ami," said I; "where I board we are annoyed to death with 'em all winter." * "Why," said he, "do you have ground 8 3 hogs in York?" 8 f "Yes," said I, "lots of 'em: we call 'em I sassages." 1 i For the space of five minutes he bowed 1 [ his head aud wept. 8 I MISTAKEN FOR GEORGE WASHINGTON. t * 1 k As soon as he got through weeping I t told him I had recently visited New En- |2 . gland, and how prolific everything was I ( I up there, and I observed to him how for 1 i miles alongside of the railroads the tele- 1 , graph pole had sprouted and were bearing * >; apples, quinces, muskmelons, huckleber. ries, and bananas. 1 [ "No!" said he. "Yes," said I. 8 | Then he rose and said, "Wash, I * thought you were dead." 8 "My name isn't Wash," said I. pi "Excuse me, sir," said he, "I called s , j you Wash because you remind mc so ' I strongly of George Washington who did 1 , it with his hatchet?the man who never 1 told a lie. 1 Says I, "Sir it's lucky you ain't a nig- 1 . ger; if you were I would kill you, sir, and 1 let your family go a black-burying in Oc- 1 , tuber." ' 1 Then he went in tiie next car where the j minister went then the cars stopped five minutes, aud I had a slight altecration j with a saloon chap. lie sold awful small pieces of pie for ten cents a piece, aud I ; asked him if he would sell three pieces for j 1 > a quarter. lie said no. 1 ' I Says I, "By gosh you do do it." lie swore he didn't. Then I told him he 1 ? did?that.there were three pieces to every t quarter of a pie on his counter, and that was three pieces for a quarter, t lie set a pure white black-and-tan ter- ' rier at me, but he was so cussed la/.'y, before he eouid open his mouth to bite I was 1 on the cars again. IN BINGHAMTON. But here we are at Binghamton, at ' 3 I which place I will rest for the time being. Before leaving you I will propound a co- 1 nundrura.

I * The Hack Seat in (he Cars. ^ t Y The exigencies of spring millinery j obliged our friend Tolly to take a trip to Springfield the other day. Somewhere up j north a freight train had run oil'the track, i or a hand car been inopportunely encoun- . | tered or some of the usual things had hap- j peued so that when the train appeared be1 * ' i : .4 ..^,1 Anil* nn. A Oia j I11UU L11XJt*, lb U11C1LU VlllJ VLlb bdl lu tuu . crowd impatiently awaiting its arrival. ( , Of course there was a grand American i t r rush for seats. L ? . \ a Polly, who disdains to push and scram- j. , hie, who thinks there are few things in this world worth so debasing to one's j ? self found-herself obliged to take the back t seat?that uncomfortable little back seat , . by the door, usually occupied by the bewildered foreigner unused to travel. However, she had her own self respect, at least. [ i And presently she discovered that the j r | universal law of compensation holds gocd s iven in respect to back seats. Through he back window of the car she obtained uch a wide, new outlook on the world. Iway behind her sped her native mounains, shifting into new beauty of shape is the track twisted this way and that, intil they grew blue in the distance and inaully vanished behind new ranges that ;radually appeared in the picture. Broad md green the meadows spread out'each ide in the sunlight. She saw all the wilows "pussjing" out by the brookaides, he elms hazy with their tender mist of iny new leave, the black ponds in the voods. There was a certain fascination, too, in vatching the track unroll itself from beleath the cars, and speed away into the listance, now plunging into deep gorges,' hen out over high embankments, through he arches of bridges, over brook and riv:r, now in the depth of solemn woods, iow just skimming the corner of an old arm-house built 3'cars before railroads vere dreamed of. Then Polly caught all the after-glimpses >f people?little bits of human nature enirely lost by the occupants of the front eats. She saw the young man who kissed lis hand from the back platform, and thef 'girl he had left behind him" waving her landkerchief across the rapid widening ipace between them; the old man getting ilowly into his empty wagon gazing wistully after the train, that was whirling lis boy oil* to the greedy West; the depot' oungers lazily picking up their feet and lauutering off; the men ploughing in the it-Ida; the women hanging out clothes, thef Irishmen at work on the track going on igain with the work interrupted by )he? lass'.ng train; the runaway horses soberng down; the truant boys who "hurahed" the train, climbing down from the ence and scrambling off toward school. "It is like life," thought Polly, who felt n a particular moral vein this morning. 'So we come and go. There is a littltf air, a little brief importance, thear are wef ;one, and lo! the world goesion just thef fame." It was curious to notice how everything leemed to catch the infection of hurry 'rom the train. The dead.leaves whirled ind leaped in the air; the very sand, "o .lie earth, earthy," flew on the breeze "a* f it had wings;" the sober old trees in thef wood wav id and tossed their branches'/ md seemed to stretch their arms out imploringly, saying, "Take us with you, out? "rom this solitude and silence into thtf world of hurry and bustle and life ttf tvhich you go." And the picture was always changing/ L'ully never knew what might come next, she decided it was altogether the best? panorama she ever attended. She felt? positively sorry for the youug man with' the slightly bloated, red face, in one of i ho ho it son i s nn the shady side in front. "4V WV WV%**W """ J 9 who looked so intently out of the window whenever a woman entered the car until some gentleman had given her a seat;ancf for his neighbor, the fat old gentleman, who secured the same end by burying h?r face in a newspaper. They were losing jo much, and never knew it. All thief . hanging scene oflife, and beauty, and human nature, goiug on around them and Lhev never the wiser or better for it; entirely shot up in their own selfish dla' lgreeable selves. And being in a moral vein, Polly won1-* lered if the people who take the back? eats in life don't always have the best of t; the people who are not in a fret and lurry, and ready to push down and trample on their fellow travellers to secure thtf Dest place, the highest position?, the first notice, the front stats generally; who lon't expect much, are not eager to thrust* 1 1 m/1 lUinlr ,I1C1113(31VL'3 IUf? illUj UUli b wuiucw uiuvu ibout themselves any.cway. Whether .here was not a certain peace and serenity tlways atteudant on the back seat; a leislre from one's self that gives room for a leal of outside living. And, after all, the ourney is so short and so swift that, realy, the seat one occupies is of very little :onscquence. The people iu the back seat each the journey's end just as soon, and >nce there no one asks how they came. 'There is a day after to-day." That all houkl be good-natured and unsellish and telpful to their fellow passengers, and >ossess their own souls in peace are the; inporiunt things. At least, so it seemed1 o l'olly this bright spring morning.?"iV Vhorn-" in the Christian licyister. What should a clergyman preach about?' -about a quarter of an hour. Good places for matchmaking?
