of Fugen. Dark clouds had gathered over the

but my comfortable room at the Post "—with the

made me unmindful of the storm which I heard 
beating overhead.

WOULD NOT BE A FARMER. 
Messrs. Editors: —You seem to take it for 
granted, because I say I have a repugnance for 
, farming, that I am lazy. At least I think you 
insinuated to that effect in your note. Not so; 
you would have to travel more than the famous 
Bayard ever did to find the man who would call 
me lazy. I do not like to work, that is true, but I 
come up to the rack and do my part of the labor 
without shirking at all. There are some things I 
like to do; propelling a rocking-chair is my favor¬ 
ite amusement Some persons pretend they like to 
work, and I pretend to assert that that is absolutely 
false. Those whom I have heard say so happen to 
be independent, and are not compelled to work; 
but let them take my place during the haying 
campaign, and if they do not change their tactics 
then my name is not Harris. Thoy also assert 
that farming brightens the intellect. I would as 
soon spend a furlough among the aborigines of 
the Western wilds to brighten my intellect. 
It seems to be customary' among the Young 
Ruralisls to write to you for information in regard 
to hens, geese, &c. I wish to ask for information 
in regard to a hereditary disease in my constitu¬ 
tion. I think editors term it constitutional weari¬ 
ness. If you or any of your numerous list of cor¬ 
respondents have an infallible remedy for that 
common disease they will oblige me, as well as the 
rising generation in general, by imparting the 
knowledge. Harry Harris.

LOOK ON THE ERIGHT SIDE. 
Yes, look on the bright side always. Never let 
your thoughts rest for a moment on the dark spots, 
for if you allow yourself to brood on tho ills and 
trials of life, your existence will be a bitter one. 
There is not a cloud, however dark and gloomy it 
appear, but has its silver lining; and no afflictions 
come upon us which might not have been worse, 
when viewed with impartiality. But all do not 
see the same side to the picture. While some, in 
affliction, are always looking on the silver lining 
of the cloud, others see only the dark and gloomy
