THE OLD FASiTBK'S ELEGY.
% a grown mossy luioljl by the bauk of tho brook,
That so long and so often have watered hie flock.
The old farmer rests in his long nnd last sleep, While
the waters a low, lisping lullaby keep: J
He has ploughed bis lust furrow, lias roaj>ed j
his fast grain, {
No morn shall awake him to labor again. .
The blue-bird sings sweet on the gay maple *
bough,
Its warbling oft cheered him while holding tho I
plough, <
And tho robins above him hop light on the ^
mould, j
For lie fe<l them with crumbs when the season I
was eolil; J
He 1ms ploughed his last furrow, A c. j
You tree that with fragrance is filling the air, '
So rich with its blossoms, so thrifty ami fair, '
lly his own hand was planted, and well did lie , 1
y,
It would live when its planter had mouldered ' 1
a^y;- |
He has ploughed his Inst furrow, <fce.
There's the well that he dug, with its water soj
cold;
With its wet dripping bucket, so mossy and old, !
No more from its depth* by the patriarch drawn,
For the "pitcher is broken"?the old uinn is gone! i 1
lie has ploughed his lust furrow, <te.
j 1
Ami the scat where ho snt by his own cottage ]
door, j i
In thestill summer eve, when his labors were o'er, I ,
With his eyes on the moon, and his pipe in his (
band, ! j
Dispensing his truth like a sage of the land :? i ^
lie has ploughed his lust furrow, ite.
Ttvas u glooui-giving day when the old farmer j
died; |
The stout-hearted mourned, the affectionate cried; ]
And the prayers of the just for the rest did ascend, ,
For they nil lost a brother, a man, and a friend!
lie has ploughed his Inst furrow, die.
For upright and honest the old farmer was;
His God he revered, he respected the laws;
Though fa melees he lived, lie has gone where his j 1
worth
Will outshine, like pure gold, all the dross of tli
earth;
lie lias ploughed his ln-'t furrow, do.

A Bkautiful Extkession.?A plain (
and unschooled man, who had reeeiv- 1
cd his education principally beneath ^
the open sky, in tlio Held and the for- :
est, and who had wielded an axo more11
than a pen, while speaking of children, 1
remarked with true and beautiful sim-j'

Ax llihcrninn was reproved by an | j
officer for daring to whistle in the',

"There goes a boy on duty, and, by }

A Tight Fit.?Our junior partner IJ
returned a pair of trowsers to his tail- j
or last week, because they wore too'
small in the legs. "Hut you told me''
to make them as tight as your skin,"
said the tailor. "True," quoted they
colleaugc, "for T can sit down in my l
skin, but, but I'll be split if I can in j
these breeches!" The tailor gave in.!

Mike Findi and the fiulL n n
The Story of Mike Finch and the :
Bull would make" a cynic laugh.? '?
Mike took a notion to go in swimming, <
nnd had just got his clothes off, when ]
tie saw Deacon Smith's bull making '
it him?the bull was a vicious animal, 1
md had come near killing two orthrce !
persons?consequently, Mike felt rath
h* "jubus." He didn't want to call 1
or iiolj>, for he was naked, and the '
nearest place from whence assistance 1
jould arrive was the meeting house, '
which was at that time filled with wordiippers,
among whom was "the gal \
Mike was paying his devours to." So
lie dodged the bull as the animal came
it him, and managod to catch him by
the tail. IIo was dragged around till
nearly dead, and when ho thought he
eould hold on no longer, he made lip
his min 1 lie had better "holler." And
now we will let him tell his own story:
So looking at the matter in all its
bearings, I cum to the conclusion that
T),l U.u 1,-1. 1 1? 7 1 x
?. u. uetwr let tsoineoowy hnow Wliar 1
was. So I gin a yell louder than a locomotive
whistle, and it warn't long
before I seed the Deacon's two dogs u
comin' down like as it fclioy war soein'
which could, get thar fust. I knowed '
who they were arter?they'd jino the
bull agin mc, I was sartin, for they '
were orful venomous and had a sj>ito '
igin mo. So says I, old hrindle, it* ri
lin' js as cheap as walkin' on this '
route, if you've no objections, I'll jist '
:ake a deck passage on that ar back o' J
yourn. So 1 wasn't very long getting
istride of him ; then, if you'd bin thar,
ron'd have swore that warn't nothin'
human in that ar mix, the silc flew so
orfully as the critter and I rolled round
the held?one dog on one side and one
on the other?try in' to clinch my feet.
I prayed and cussed and cussed and
prayed, until I couldn't tell which I
did at hist?and neither warn't of no
use, they'war so orfully mixed up.?
Well, I reckon I rid about half an hour
this way, when old hriiullc thought it
war about time to stop to takein a suplily
of wind. and cool olf 11 little. So
vvfien we got round to a tree that stood
thar, he naturally lialted. So bo/. IL>1(1
hoy, you'll lose one passenger sar, ,
tain. So I just clum upon a branch,
kalkelatin to roost thar till 1 starved,
afore I'd ho rid round in that ar way
any longer. I was a makin' tracks for 1
the top o' the tree, when J heard snthin'
a makiti' an orful biizzin overhead.
1 kinder looked up, aud it' thar warn't
?wbH, thar*s no use of swearin now,
hut it war the biggest /ton net's neet
ever built. You'll 'gin in' now, I reeken,
Mike, 'cause there's no he'p for
vou. 1'nt an idea struck me then, that
L'd stand alieup better chance a ridin'
the hull than whar I was. So/, I, old :
['oiler, if you'll hold on, I'll ride to
the next station anyhow, let that he
whar it will. So I jist dropped aboard
lihn agin, and looked aloft to see what 1
1 had gained l?v ehangin quarters; ]
uul, gcntlenieft, I'm a liar if thar
vandt nigh half a bushel of the sting- -i
n' varmints ready to pitch into me j
vhen the word 'go' was gin. Well, I :
eckon they got it, for 'all hands, start
wl ini* mil1 i./iin )i//n?i oo
x* j"? viu kjv.'hiv/ vm \jiii
lit the <!<?<rs?about, a quart struck me, <
m*l the rest charged on brindle. This I
imc the dogs led oil' lust, dead bent ;
'or the old deacon's, and as soon as old
brindle and I could get under way we
followed. And as I war only a deck 1
passenger, and had nothin' to do with
jtoeriir the craft, 1 swore if I had, we
shouldn't have run that channel, anyliow.
ilut, as 1 said afore, the dogs
took the lend?Brindle and f next, and
:hc horn its drc'klv arter. The dogs
rellin?brindle bcllcrin' and the horlits
bnzzin and stingin. I didn't say
lothin', for it war n't no use. Well,
.ve'd got about two hundred yards
rom the house, and the deacon heard
js and cum out. 1 seed him hold up
lis hand and turn white. I reckoned
ie was prayin', then, for ho didn't ex- ,
>cct to be called for so soon, and it ,
.varn't long, neither, afore the hull
ongregation?men, women, and eliillrou?cum
out, and then all hands
.vent to yelin.' None of 'em had the
'ust notion brindle and I belonged to
,his world. I jist turned my head and
passed the hull congregation. I see
.lie-run would he up soon, for brindle
wouldn't turn an incli from a fence that
?tood dead ahead. Well, we reached
that fonci, and I went ashore, over
the old critter's head, Inndin on 'tother
side, and lay thar stunned. It wurn't
long ai'oro some on 'em as war not seared,
cam, runiiin to nee what I war.
lor all hands kalkelatod that the hull
and I belonged together. I>ut when
brindlo walked oh' by himself, they.,
seed how it war, and 0110 of 'em said/'

An Eccentric Divine,
Some years ago Lorenzo Dow;?whose 1
eccentricities arfl^ji matter of history?
in the course ofpreaching in it Southern
city, attacked, with severity, the
character of a person who had just before
died, alleging that his death was
caused by his vices. The relations of
the deceased man were indignant, and, |
commencing suit against the eccentric
Lorenzo, he was convicted and .mule- j
ted in considerable damages, llie fol
lowing Sunday after the trial, ^e (Lo- j
renzo) commenced his sermon as follows
: ^ <
"There was, we learn from the Tcs- ;
tamcnt, a certain rich man who lived, ,
I think, at Jerusalem, and his name
was iJives, lie was claa 111 robes of
purple and fine linen, and he fared
sumptuously every day. That is, ho
liveu high, or what might bo called
dissipated. Now there was also, 1
think, in Jerusalem, a certain beggnr,
named Lazarus, who asked to be feci only
with the crumbs that fell from Dive's
table. He lay down at the gate of the
palace, but the rich man would not
feed him; on tho contrary ho set the
dogs on him. So tho poor beggar
died, and thon his sorrows ended ; for
he was carried up into Abraham's bosom.
Hut, my brethren, you -will ask
what become- of Dives. "Well, dear
souls, well, after he died?drunk; I ,
will not. however, say so positively, for 1
[ don't know but he lias somo relations
imong those who now hear, and I may j
be prosecuted for defamation of char- |
actor!"
A lttte boy al)out five years of age
was sent to the grocery store at the
corner 011 some trifling errand, and
while thero his bright ej*cs lighted upon
a barrel of pippins, exposed temptingly
to view just outside the door.?
In gi'ing out, it appears, ho took one,
ana returned to his mother munching

"Where did you get that nice apple,
Willie?" inquired his mother.
"Dot it at de docery," replied Willie.
"Did the raan give it to you?"
"No, I took it."
"Why, Willie, that was naughty;
you should not take apples or anything
else without permission."
"Ihit nobody saw me."
"O, yes, Willie, there was Ono who
saw you."
"Who saw me?"
"Why, God .saw you."
Willie stopped a moment to consid
er, and then with a good deal of satisfaction
expressed in his face replied?
"No, haj&ln't ma; there was as
awning uvct^ic store door!"

broke, and she began to drive. The
lieutenant of the watch ran down to the
captain, awoke him from his sleep, and
told hi in that the anchor had conic

his eves, "I think: the^nchor is
pcrlectly right. Who would stop out

into the ferocious brute's body, killing him
instantly. Tho bear weighed 300 pounds.
