J m&JXxi* 1£r~ ••It#* tkc Etc. *•- ■/ \ ■ - fWrittM hr Th* Ton^ltutlun.] t think Z bnT* ■olred th« Ikbor ques tion. On* thing certain,Yve changed my notions fc good deal about work- hard work—muacle work. I wasent born to ll nor raised to It only In a apaMBtodlo way, aud I used to wonder how • poor man ever got reconciled to H. Brought up (n a town I bad town - boys' ways, and it was my ppfhlqn that weedln onions or wbitewashlD^ the garden palins was Just as much as could possibly be endured by au as piring youth. Since then, Ire looked at poor folk* plowin in the midsum mer sun aad thrashin wheat and rollln logs and spltttfQ rails and slaylu tim ber and baulin wood in the snow and sleet, and been so sorry for em I dident know what to do. Well, tberee a heap of folks I'm sorry for ylt, but It alnt because they have to w rk hard for a living. I’v tried It now for a year and better, and the more I do It the better I like h. If the sweat of the brow was the curse put upon Adam, It wasent a much of a curse, and has long since been tempered down to a blessing in disguise, and the disguise drops off when you come to rest and have a good appetite and sleep well and see the rewards of your labor all arotind you. Theree a positive comfort in watting on ones self, but I never found ft ont until Sherman come along and took off my niggers without suetng for em, or paying f6r- em, or leavr log hie due bill. • But Its all right now. I don’t mind choppln Up a load of wood any more than I used to cuttln off one stick. I enjoy every Are that I make—fires that come from timber I out down and Hplit,c«d haoled, and cut up, aqd wheeled to the back door and plied up In the piaeser. I prise the light wood I hunted tbe ^ woods for, and have put so carefully away—the rich kindlta split all fine and clean, and ready for tbe cold mornings when they come. The enow come upon us this time unawares when we wasent exactly expectin It, and I thought we would have an ugly time In the woods, but I never whs more comfortable. The axe was sharp, tbe timber brittle, blood circulated ele gantly, and I felt like I could chop all day and not get tired. That ehootln man brags about bow many pounds he raises an hour In lifting bit gun to his shoulder, but chopping wood all day Is raisin fifty thousand pounds about ftvs feet high, which Is a little mere than Harris can do on a fish diet. When I lived In town I need to pay darkles 60 cents a cord for cutting up fire wood and felt like I was cheating em at that, but I would like to take such a contract now, for CO cents is a power of good money and would do a heap of good In a chcumeortbed fami ly. Takln it all In all, farm work Is a pleasanter and mororarygited recrea tion than crokay or base-ball or pin via drafts In a lawyer’s offls. If there 1h now and then some worry and misad venture, It alnt to be compared to your merchants and other city folks, workln day and night tryln to keep up with society and meet the bank notes fallln due. That’s what I call work. That’s what wears a man out and brings the crow’s feet prematurely. One can spot em as they walk along. They go a little stoopy,.looking saintly and sad, and moving In a slow and tired hurry. When you recognise em with "howdy do,” or “good.mornin,” they force a feeble smile of welcome, but there’s no gush In it, for they ware thlnkln about them bank notes and the shrinkage of ways and means. They never speak firstly and say, "why, hello, Bill; bow are you, old fell ? Glad to see you ; you are lookid first rate; what’s the news? low’s Mrs. Arp and the children?” They never squeeze a man’s band warmly, nor a woman’s, wit her, as to that, for these darn little just debts that a man wants to pay but cant, and these everlastln love letters that foller after em, take* all the squeese out of him, and be feels about enough interest in a woman to get ont of her way and not tread on her frock talk - <■ . I never see such a man without thlnkin' of the Jack o’ lantern that brought him to It—ruanin after sosle- ty—tryln’ to catch np or keep in sight of the deceivin' witch while she shines away yander and when he gets there has moved a little further off and tolls him on and along until he mlree up In the beg and can’t get out. Then you see be goes to bridgin'—bridgin’ over as the money lenders cull it-and he hobbles along awhile on the bridges until they give ont, and then be oaves for good. But when a man Uvea In tbe oonntry • society sorter forgets him and he for- gets her. His family are left out of the calendar. Tariton dresses alnt wanted every week fora party or table. The family room don’t have to be kept just exactly is nice as the parlor and mk the L V: % < " jt r —t.- * H V’ • -■-jr- > ; you out toast tSe . light breed and roast tbe potatoes there if you wattt to.
