Contentment. [Suggested on seeing a little picture ofao aged couple seated in a log cabin, before a fire, at bed time ] The banks is all u-bustin,' Nance, and tilings is goiu* tcr smash ; Tho people Bole fur credit whar they'd oughtcr sohl fur cash; An' winter's bringin' poverty to everybody's door; Tho rioh kin stand it piolty well?hil's or ful on the poor. The workinmnn's thesufferci, Nance?he's got no work to do, An' folks ar goin' to suffer whar they suf frin' never know; n' thom that's always showiu' off' to poor folks whut they've gut, You'll find perhaps, that they'll turn out tho poorest of lliclut. I've just been tliinkin,' Nancy Jane, nbout tho awful muss; f> How folks had better live an' mis their , -? children just like us; For, as I told old Deacon Smith, he scd it nil was true. He never in his life hud er?d two folks like me nn' you. ? "SVOur home's an old log cabin, Nnncc; half hidden in tho woods; ,.T Our family's rich in life and health, but poor in 'worldly goods;' Wo hain't no fine lace curtins, or no enrpet on the floor, Bui the BUn is always Htiiilin' through the window an' Ihw dour. K, Our farm is small?we've got a spring an' horses, hogs nn' cows; .-.We've gids to milk nn' cnok an' sow, an' boys I-} tend the plows; Wo'vc got no gold in banks that bust, nor a1 owe no ninn a cent? I tell you, Nan CO, the Lord is good, and wc ehould feel content We're plain an'honest country folks, an' we know no -city airs; Wc read the Bible every night before we kneel in prayers; Wo go to church on Sundays, Nance, an' walk just like the6 rest, An' live like Christnin people ought?wc try to do what's best. Our boys don't do like city boys, who from n thar duty shirk, Whose pnrcnts rniso 'cm up to think'tis n ^.Oe-') edtlj , ^ - disgrace to work, Our gals ain't like them city gnls you will so often meet, Who ought to help thar mothers more on" run less on the street. You don't soo Thomas Henry pusJy.Tf^s^l linrds every night, ^t^tm'' Or loafin' 'bout the I^^jSSBmaffff' treated till he's tightL-^tfl MSjBJBSsy? -^??^^^^^m Yo\f\Iv3't find him a runnin1 'round to catch some dntnscl's eye. Or courtin' of some gnl that's rich, who.se daddy's bout to die. Ah! Nance, the time has come at last when pride must have its fall; The folks.ll rind the workin' ninn's the life and prop of all: The farmer's indepsndout, Nance, his trace will never spoil So long as he is able with his hi ns to till the soil. Jm The proud, aristocratic folks, who set in for tuno'a door, Who thought they'd never como to want, are 'busted up' an' poor; Their servant's gone, their horses sold, thoir houses an' their lands, . An, everything except thar lives, arc in the sheriffs hands! Old woman, put yer knittin' up; it is gittin' purty late; I'll rend about two chapters in the Bibl,e if you'll wait; We'll prey to God, before we sleep, as every Christain ought, An' thank Him, not for what we want, but what wo we've luul and got. "WILL S. IIA YS ?ft* _ ....... The Prettiest Thing I Ever Heard. A Good elder, whoso mind was al most totally absorbed in making money 'Was reclaimed from the habit of Bleeping in church as follows; The preacher had tried many ways to get the attention of elder A., but every effort seemed to be of no avail. Ho would occupy a seat very closo to the pulpit, throw his head back on tho bench and'take a nap us long as tho sermon. This cold indifference greatly annoyed tho wakeful portion ol* the congregation and more especially the preacher. Know ing the elder's great propensity for mon ey, tho preacher pinned a bright greoo back dollar to tho bottom of his uotos, sod before advancing iu his discourse he raised his no'cs iu full view of his now half asleep hearer, audsoon got his entire attention. During the sermon the proachor kopt his notes in hie loft hand with tho bottom or dollar side turned toward the elder, who was now all attention. The services ended, and as usuki some asked Brother A. how he liked tho merman. Says he. 'It was the prettiest thing I ever (saw) heard.'? ?anncr of Peace.
