. Ah, there he is lad, at the plough,

| He beats the boys fer work,

And whatso’er the task might be None ever saw him shirk.

And ke can laugh, too, till his eyes Run o’er with mirthful tears,

And sing full many an od time song, In spite of seventy years.

_‘*Geod morning friends! "Tis twelve e’clock ; Time for a half hour’s rest,”’ 'And farmer John took out his lunch, And ate it with a zest. ‘“* A harder task it is,” he said, | **'Phan following up the steers, Or mending fences, far, for me, To feel my seventy years.” ‘You ask mc why I feel co youwag; : Im sure friends, I can't tell; , But think if is my good wife's fault, Who kept me up so well; For women such as she are scarce To this poor vaie of tears; She’s given me love, aud hope, and strength For more than forty years.

| *‘And then my boys have all done wall,

As far as they have gone,

| And that thing warms an old man’s blood, And helps bim up and on.

, My girls have never caused a pang,

| __Or raised up anxious fears;

Then wonder net that I feel young And hale as forty years.’

‘** Why don’t my good boys de my work, And let me sit at rest ?

Ah ! friends, that woulda’t do for me, I lke my own way best,

They have their duty: I have mine, And till the end appears,

I mean to smell the soil, my friends,” Said the man of seventy years;

Business Character.

The story of three brothers wHo went into the grocery business separately, is tuld b a *‘Grocer’s Oriterirn correspondent rather jinterestingly:—Brother John was a dandy, land fond of show; James was careless of appearances—almost a sloven; Joseph was careful neat and tidy.

$1000 to each of them with this advice: That they should decide what kind of busi- ness erst would follow, and begin at once. So they looked about, and each one found a village in which to begin for himself. Strangely enough, they all decided to be grocers, The characteristics of each came te the surface now. John invested more money in such things as would make show in the store than he did in goods. In lfaet, he Cases and such articles first of all, and used what was left to™buy ‘his eiock with, Hence, everybody-in his town said he had a “‘ nicely fited up little store, but there wasn’t much in it except what was made to look at.” His stock was necessarily limited to the most common articles, and customers, not finding what they wanted, were obliged to go elsewhere. He’s too heavy on style,” said a long- headed old business man. ‘‘ He wants to ‘splurge’ too mueh, He won't last.” And he didn’t.

Most of his profits were expended on himself and his store fixtures,rather than in

didn’t lay up a cent.” When he bought goods, so long as they ‘‘ showed off” as well

quality. The consequence was that in @ year he retired from business, in debt, and) had to go to work by the day to get a living.

When James set up ia business he acted on the principle that ‘‘anything would de.” He got a store, but made no effort te get a pleasant ene in a pleasant locality. A store was a store, that was enough. He bought his goods in the same way. So long as they were what he called for, he didn’t care whether they were put up in attractive shape or not. ‘Whe eared for the eutside?’ he said. “‘It was what was in a package folks were after.” He didn’t expend

any money on fixtures, and his goods were piled about in any way that esme handiest- He made

no effurt to have things neat or convenient, or to make his stoie attractive. So he secured very few enstomers. There were

kept, and trade went to them. Ina year he withdrew from business, not in’ debt, but in disgust.

When Joseph began he found a pleasant little stove in a good place, and he went to work te make it as attractive as possible, without spending more money on it than fhe could afford out of what he needed to buy stock with. Paint, paper and white- wash made it fresh and clean. He bought

costly ones. When his goods came he took

ing to display them on their shelves and in their cases in a tasteful and attractive way. No ‘‘ splurge,” merely to make the most of everything. The result was that his store was really pleasant to look through, every- thing im its place ard everything good. was just what it claimed to be, and persons came to depend on his word as much as they did on their own judgment. While always geritlemanly and ebliging, he dealt fairly, secured everybedy’s good will—and was successful. . ~

| To illustrate the profits of cattle raising |in Texas, we (says a Texas paper) take ,the liberty cf publishing a briet estimate (of the success attained by a friend ef ‘ours durisg the past eight years, In (1873 the gentleman referred to owned ‘about 3,000 cate, which he offered, : with his horses, ranch, &c., for £5,000, ;but could fiad no purchaser, and was | forced to hold on to his cattle. In 1880 ‘he sold from this same stock £20,000 worth of beeves. - In addition, he expects |to sell and ship this season £10,000 'worth of beef out of the stock, meking the sale of this year amount to over | £30,000, and still have left on his | range 30,000 head of cattle, 400 head of ' good horses, outfits, ete., that wil! amount to the suug little sum of £80,000. Four ‘hundred thousand dollars worth of stock, ‘and probably half that amount in cash i frem a £5,000 stock in eight.years is cou- 'vineing evidence that there is money in the cattle business in Texas. These ‘figures are not exaggerations, but are | given from facts ; and of our own know- jjedge no part of this remarkable suc- ‘cess has been due to speculation, but | to the simple legitimate increase of stock '—the plan pursued during those eight years was to sel annually a lot of beeves, and at once re-invest the money thus re- ceived in young cattle.

‘* History,” said Napoleon, “is but ‘fiction agreed upon.” Without accepting this epigrammatic utterance in all its /meauing (we might, indeed, rather say it jis fiction disagreed upon), every thinker

will admit that the facts of history are often scaréely distinguishable from the imaginations of romance. There. have bean lusty outcries in our owa time at _ the disillusions of cur day—the efforts of notable writers to present the truta ‘rather than the accepted versions of historic. incidents— avd many of our cherished. prejudices have been rooted out. Crook-back Richard has become a model character; Bloody Mary, the most merciful of womankind ; her reyal father, the victim of high res- pousibilities ; William Tel!, a myth—and

tion has been remorselessly sacrificed to truth. And, after all, itis well. It is difficult to estimate how much the em- bellish of romanee have arrested and retatded the progress and develop- ment of man. If we hope to find in past histery the key to unlock the problems of the preseat it is essential that the wards should be free from accumulation. Let mere whenever we can get it, at the risk of losing many cherished delu- gious. Let us know men as they were, Got.as our imaginatious have conceived they ought to be. Totake an ivstaace: Tho has not been misled about Milton? Who has vot felt for him in his blind- ness aud accepted the reverential attend- ance of his daughters as his comfort and his'sight? Are we not all accustomed jto think of him pathetically, giving utter- ance to great thoughts in the presence of chiidrea hanging upon his worés? Now what are the facts, these ‘ stubborn }things” which admit cf no romance? Simply that our sympathies have been lavished upon an untruth.—Le.

During the action at Killa Kazi, on December 11, 1879, some men of the Ninth Lancers having fa'len with their horses inte a wide and deep ‘‘nullah” or ditch, and the enemy being close upon them, the Rev. J. W.

At this time the Afghens were press- ing on very rapidly, the leading men getting within a few yards of Mr. Adams, who, having let go his horse in order to render effectual assistance, had eventually escaped on foot. — London
