DON’T LEAVE THE FARM.
Come boys, [ have something to tell you

Come near, I would whisper it low—
You are thinking of leaving the homestead,

Don't be in a hurry to yo!
The city has many attractions,

But think of the yices and sins;
When once in the vortex of fashion,

How s00n the course downward bogins.

You tall of the mines of Australia—
Thoy're wealthy in gold without donbt,
But ah! there is gold on the farm, boys,
If only yon'll shovel it out.
The mercantile trade is a huszard,
‘The goods are first high and then low,
Better risk the old farm a while longer,
Don't be in a hurry te go.

The great, busy Weat has inducements,
And so has the busiest mart,

But wealth is not made in a day, boys,
Don't be in a burry to start!

The bankers and brokers are wealthy,
They take in their thousand or so--
Ah! think of the frauds and deceptions;

Don't be in a hurry to go!

The farm is the safest and surest,
The orchards ave loaded to-day,
You're us free as the air of the mountains,
And monarchs of all you survey.
Better stay on the farm a while longer,
Though profits come in rather slow ;
Remember, you've nothing to risk. boys ;
Don't bein a hurry to go!

EVERETT MORSE'S RETALIATION,

BY FRANCIS HENSHAW BADEN,

Teach me to feel another's woe,
To hide the fault [ see;
That mercy I to others show,
That mercy show to me.
Pork's Untyeusar Praren

“Listen, Mr. Marbury! Let me try to
prove to you I am not so guilty as you
think.”

«I know, of course not; no gentleman
intends to be dishonest, but it is to be re-
gretted that public opinion will not see it
in that light,” replied the junior partner of
an extensive mercantile firm in the city of
notions.

“Too true; if you, knowing me for the
last ten years, will not believe me, how
ean 1 expect ought else from strangers.
Here I have been, uncer your eye, with the
charge of the books for this long time, and
never have failed to give, entire satistaction
to all, until now. It you had not discov-
ered this, L should have been able to re-
place the amount before the end of the

year, I know now that I did wrong; but
in the frenzy of my despair [ did not think

it wrong. Mr, Marbury have mercy! do
not expose me to the firm! Only keep
this knowledge you have gained until Jan-
uary, then, if d have not returned the
amount, with interest, 1 will not ask for
further forbearanee,” pleaded the young
man,

** Everett Morse, it matters little what I
believe, I care not whether you are in-
nocent or guilty. Fate has thrown you in
my power, and I glory in it. I have no
love for you. Yeurs ago you crossed my
path, and have almost, if not entirely,
blasted my hopes of happiness. Clar.
Dayton smiled on me, until she met you.
Since then you have oceupied the position
I had hoped to gain, Promise so leave
town, to resign all hopes ol Clara’s hand,
and I will have mercy. Ilear me out: 1
will give you as much time as you wish,
to return the money, and will also make
an arrangement to send you to Europe, on
business for the firm, I had intended go-
ing myself, but this afair hus changed iy
plains somewhat. Now, » you have my
avswer, You must either conclude to give
up your ‘lady-love,’ or stand belore the
world a felou.”

*Merey! Mr. Marbury, is this mercy!
Oh, Leaven pity me! How ean I give her
up! You do not mean it!” :

« When Clara Dayton hears the man tvho
has sought her love stands betore the world
biunded with dishonesty, she will most
likely release you fiom this task. It will
be asevere blow to her proud nature.”
«Sho will never believe it. Iwill goto
her, and tell herall, Myr, Marbury, let me
tell you how I was so sorely tempted, and
yielded. You have heard that when my
futher died, he leit his affairs very much
embarrassed. ‘The old homestead was
mortgaged. This has been a great grief
to my mother, She thought of losing
this home, most valuable for the loved as-
sociations connected with it. You know
too, that my brother and I have been try-
ing to redeem this property. The last note
was due, I could not meet the paym nt,
this has been a trying year tome. My
mother’s illness has very much increased
my expenses; then, worse still, my broth-
ers misiortune in breaking his right arm,
has of course prevented him from attend:
ing to his engraving. So the whole bur-
den has been on me, I felt sure that as
soon as Abbott could return to his work, I
should be able to return the loan, as I con-
sidered it, Fatal mistake! I now see that
any swerving from the right path is certain
to bring its punishment, But will you not,
for the sake of my poor widowed mother,
spare ine? It will kill her to hear I am
even suspected of dishonesty, she is so
feeble nuw. Dopot demand this terrible
sacrifice of me, Be just! be generous!
be merciful!”

"Tis useless sir, I have told you on
what terms I can treat with you. I love
Clara more than my own life, and cannot
relinquish the chance of wianing her. It
will be impossible for you to remove the
suspicion that will follow you. The fact
of your employer's want of confidence in
you will bo sufficient to condemn you. Ac-
cept my terms. Go to Europe without
seving Clara again, Take your own time
to 1etarn the money, and at the end of one
year, if Ihave failed to win her, you arc
Irce to seck her anew, and I will give you
my word never to mention this atfair
again.”

"1 see too plainly I have no other
echauce, If Clara loves me, as I have

hoped, she will remain constant, rerard-
less of appearances, for thattime.- Thank
Heaven, I have not sought to bind her by
an engagement. Every chance is against
me, though. What will she think of my
leaving without telling her good-bye,
even?”

“* Just what I wish her to—that you do
not love her any too devotedly, I wiil
take your regrets to her, of * pressure of
business, and time,’ and such little exeuses.
Of course she will be inortified, and dis-
appointed, and in this state of her feclings
Lhope to triumph. Once mine, [ do not
doubt being able to make her love me.
Such love us mine must meet a response.”

‘* Be it so, George Marbury, but there's
a future, thank God. A time when we
shall both stand betore a just Judge, Are
you not fearful you may yet need the mevey
you now deny to me? If mot oa carth,
yeu surely will above.

* * * * * * *
‘Clara, my daughter, why will you
treat Mr. Marbury with so much indiffer-
ence? Heisa very fine young man, and
seems very much attached to you; ‘There
was a tinie, when I thought you liked him
alittle, Ithink you thought more of Ky-
erett ‘Lorse than he deserved, It is very
evident, if he had loved you, he would not
have gone away » ithout saying a word,
Banish him from your mind, end try to
smile on one whose long devotion merits
some kindness from you.”
*« Mother, Leannot help thinking there
is some mystery relative to Everett's leay-
ing as he did. I feel perfectly sure he
loved me.
plainly. Every moment that was not de-
voted to business, or his mother, he spent
with us. We were notengaged, but there
was an understanding between us. Only
the night I last saw him, he said to me.
‘when I come again I shall bring a ring to
place on the finger of a certain lady fair,

will make me one of the happiest men on
earth.’ Six months have passed since
then, and not a word from him. That he
is living, and well, I know, for Mr. Mar-
bury told me they hada letter from him by
the last steamer. What can he mean,
mother?”

«There is no doubt of one thing; he has
trifled with you, and therefore he is not
worthy of one thought or regret.
Mr. Marbury has spoken to me, and asked |?

Theiy eld child, a handsome, bright,
intelligent youth of ninetee rs, proved
no Jonger a source of comfort and happi+
ness,

Reared inthe lap of luxury, cradled in
idleness, subject to little, it ny restraint,
he iollowed the bent of his inclinations,
and found pleasure among the youths of
the wildest and most reckless habits.
Constantly were his parents’ hearts
wrung with the fear of coming eyil.

At last it came, striking a terrible blow,
particulirly to the proud-hearted father.
With all his boy's faults he had never
feared dishonesty, That was impossible

the brand of forgery should rest upon the
hitherto spotless name of Marbury. | For
nearly a year this youth had occupied a
position in a large importing house, and

and from time to time he drew on the bank

for small sums, hoping cach night that
uck would smile on him, and he should
de able to return the money.

It grew worse and worse, Larger sum3

were drawn to meet the emergeucies, till
at last the reckoning came,
