BILL ARP’S LETTER.
The Sage Snaking the Pipe nf Peace
I love to moot a nabor, and hear
him say, “how's crops?” I continue
to like farmin’. I like it better and
better, except that the wheat is some
what doubtful about making a crap-
A little long bug with a tail at l«)th
ends has got in the joints and sucked
the sap out, and it’s failin’ down in
patches. I/xtks like there’s always
somethin’ playin’ on somethin’, and
nothin’ is safe, from disaster in this
sublunary world. Flies and bugs
and rust play on the green wheat.
Weavils eat it up when it’s cut and
put away. Rats eat the corn, moles
eat the gooliers, hawks eat the chick-
nse; the minks killed three of our
ducks in one night, cholera kill the
hogs, and the other night one of mv
nabor’s mules come along with the
blind staggers and fell up a pair of
seren steps right into my front gate
and died without kickin’. Then there
is briars and nettles and thread safts
and smart weed and poison oak and
Spanish needles and cuckleburs and
dogfenncl and snakes, that’s always
hi the way on a farm and most be
looked after keerfully, especially
snakes, which arc my eternal horror,
and I shall always lielirc are some
kin to the devil himself. I can’t
tolerate such long insects, .but we
famers have to take the bad with the
good, and there is more good than
bad with me up to the present time.
I like farmin’. It’s an honest, <|iiiet
life, and it docs me so much good to
work and get all over in a sweat of
perspiration. I enjoy my humble
food and my repose, and get up every
morning renewed and rejuvenated
like an angel in its flight, or words to
that effect. I know I shall like it
more, for we have already passed over
the Rubicon and are lieginning to
reap the rewards of industry.
Spring chickens have got ri|>e and
the -hens keep bloomin’ on. Over

omnn’s call every morning, as she

knows the value of ’em. She was

craek of the door, sadly, and seen
the preachers helped to the last giz
zard in the dish. There was fifty-four
chickens, seven ducks, five goslins,
twelve turkevs and seven pigs
hatched out last week. This looks
like business, don’t it? This is
what I call successful farmin’—nml-
tiplyin’ and replenishin’ according
to scripture. Then we have a plenty
of pease and ]»otatoes and other gar-
dan verbs which help the j>oor man
out, and by the 4th of July will have
wheat bread and biscuit and black
berry pies and pass a regular decla
ration of independence.
I like farmin'. I like latitude
and longitude. When we were pen
ned up in town my children eould't
have a slingshot, nor a l>ow and arrod
nor a chichen fight, in the hack yard
nor sick a dog on another dog, nor let
off a big Injunwhoop without some
nabor makin’ a fuss about it. And
then again there was a show or a
dance or a bazar or a missionary meet
ing most every night, and it looked
like the children were jest a’ldeedged
to go or the world would come to an
end. It was money, money, money
all the time. But now there isn't a
store or a milliner's shop within five
miles of ns. and wc do our own work,
the same kind of a lick every day.

There’s no monotony upon the

with her own pen—at least a half
dozen hymns. She is a frail look
