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
