first-rate farmer,” thought Mr. Streeter. “I can 
safely trust the old place in hiB hands, when I 
have done with It.” The little cloud was forgot¬ 
ten, and the family seated themselves at the table. 
“Well, father, how many loads did yon get oil' 
from that mowing lot to-day?” ashed Nat with a 
good deal of interest. . 
“ Ten,—good, round loads they were, too. The 
grass is all cut now except the south lot, and I am 
going to try and get that down to-morrow, so as 
to fiuisb tip this work.” 
Nellie rattled her teaspoon nervously, and 
Mrs. Streeteu looked uneasy. 
“Nat and I wilt be at home to help about the 
wheat Examination comes off on Tuesday, and 
then we shall be free for six weeks.” 
“You will have to help me to-morrow,” Baid 
Mr. Streeter, without looking at George. “I 
dare say one day will make no difference.” 
Georoe was like his mother, timid and yield¬ 
ing, so lie only glanced despondingly at Nat, and 
said nothing. Nat applied himself diligently to 
his supper for a moment, and then said, in a voice 
that betrayed his effort to control it, 
“We are reviewing the most difficult parts of 
our studies, sir, and the lesson for to-morrow is 
one wo lost when we had to stay out in planting 
time.” 
“It is in cube root,” chimed in George, “and 
I never could explain it. The examination will 
he public, too.” 
“ You’ll live just as long if you never learn to 
explain it The long and short of it is, that I 
have engaged two men to cut that hay and I want 
both of you to stir it” 
“Simon G arrest's boys want work to do, and 
they are good hands,” suggested Mrs. Streeter. 
"Joseph Streeter’s boys want work to do,” 
said the farmer angrily, “ and they shall have it, 
too,—enough of it to take all foolish whims out 
of them.” 
The meal was finished in silence, and at its con 
elusion Nat went into the garden, with a hard, 
defiant look upon his face, and worked until dark 
among the vegetables. When he came in, the 
look had changed for one of resolute but qniet 
determination, lie had gone through with otic 
more of a series of struggles with himself. The 
first of which lay some years in the past, and he 
did not like to think liow far in the future the last 
might he. It was a struggle between a feeling of 
discouragement that pleaded in this fashion:—“It 
is of no use for you to try to he anything more 
than an ignorant, delving man. Everything is 
against you,—yon have to fairly fight for every 
day of schooling,—why not give up, and throw 
your whole energies into the work of getting 
rich.” This, on one side, and on the other, some¬ 
thing better and nobler that said:—“No, never 
give up. You settled this matter two years ago, 
now stick to your resolution. You must yield to 
circumstances now, that are beyond your control, 
but don’t lose sight of your mark. Above all, 
don’t get angry,—don't get discouraged,— rule 
your own spirit, Nat Streeter, — rule your own

don't care if I never open you again. To be dis¬ 
graced *0 before all the town, after trying as 
hard as 1 have.” The excited boy fairly broke 
down in a fit of passionate tears. 
“Seems to mo, George,” said his mother, in a 
soothing manner, “ it would he a great deal more 
disgraceful to fail if yon hadn't tried as hard. 
You know now you have done the best you could, 
and you must try to bear the disappointment.” 
“Never mind, George, ''said Nat, “we all know 
you are not to blame. Mr. Foster and the 
scholars think just as well of you as ever, and 
I don’t see why you shouldn’t think just as well 
of yourself. Do you 'sjiose I should think I was 
blind if Judge H ammond should tell me 1 hadn't 
any eyes? He'll see the day when he’ll be glad 
to take off his hat to the lion. George Streeter.” 
“If I ever do come to anything,” said George, 
wiping his eyes, “he will think it was all owing 
to the rebuke he gave me to-day.” 
Chant low thy solemn dirge, 
Impetuous, ruling stonn! 
Let thy low, moaning wail 
Die on the passing gale, 
Like 8udc)«n Lope forlorn.

By thee is reckless swayed; 
And thy cold, piercing dart, 
Round many a true, warm heart, 
Hath bitter ruin made. 
Beside that cottage hearth, 
Where ruddy fire-lights glow, 
Where smiles the bright lips wear, 
Most beautiful and rare, 
Tbou hring’st darkness,—woe. 
There, dimpled bands are clasped, 
In guileless, child-like glee; 
They feel not thy cold stiDg,— 
They reck not on tby wing 
Death there enthroned may be. 
But list to that low sigh 
Borne on the moaning gale; 
O, Father! stay the storm. 
Their tears are flowing warm, 
Grief in thetr hearts prevail. 
No cheerful fire-light's blaze 
Doth gladden with its light; 
Cold shivering limbs are there,— 
Hearts dying with despair,— 
And sorrows crushing blight. 
Gon of the storm! protect 
Hearts wrung by penury; 
Let Infinite command 
Restore the zephyrs bland , 
To sweet tranquility.

Tins valuable improvement piyaaea-cs many important 
advantages over all other Porks, among which are the fol¬ 
lowing:—The tines being allowed to drop to discharge its 
load, the tilting of the handle, as in other forks, is avoided; 
hence, hay can be unloaded with the utmost facility and 
ease into shed windows or beneath routine beams, and 
other places where other Horse Fork* cannot he used. It 
can in all cases be managed with greater ease than any 
other Horse Rock, It is equally adapted to stacking. With 
this Fork a ton of hay may be unloaded in from five to 
seven minnlcs.

“What kind of an apple Crop are you getting 
this fall, Mr. Sthpetsr?” asked a neighbor, lean¬ 
ing over the orchard gate, toward the middle of 
October. 
“Rather small, this year, and somehow the 
apples arc not very fair. This orchard Beeins to 
be running out. Nat wants to plow it up, and 
cultivate about the trees,—some new-fangled no¬ 
tions he got out of the papers,—but I tell him 
it’s all nonsense. A tree is a tree, and I don't sec 
any reason why an apple tree needs any more 
tending than an oak. I have about made up tuy 
mind to give up raising fruit,—my land isn’t the 
l ight sort for it.” 
The neighbor smiled, but said nothing. Pres¬ 
ently he said, “Borne of us have been thinking it 
would be ft good thing to have a course of Agri¬ 
cultural Lectures here this winter. Wc might 
get a great deal of valuable information, and then 
it would rouse the farmers up, and set them to 
thinking and experimenting for themselves. We 
need something to start us out of the old, beaten 
track.” 
“The old track is good enough for me, neigh¬ 
bor,—good enough for m<*,” said Mr. Streeter. 
“I nover knew any good to come of this experi¬ 
menting, and then these lecturers are a parcel of 
men with their heads full of fine-spun theories, 
that nobody can ever put to practice. There was 
that Professor W-. Why, he couldn’t even 
call things by their right narncB. He talked all 
the evening about the Brassi/a family, and all 
the time he meant cabbage and turnips.”

Onr boys need something of the kind to stimulate 
them to study, and show them that farming is 
work for educated minds, as well as muscles.” 
This last was the very worst argument he could 
have used. It roused up the farmer at once. 
“ 1 want no sneh thing for my boys, I can assure 
you. They have got too many such foolish no¬ 
tions nmy. i f;rit n decent amount of learning at

then l went right to work on the farm, and never 
troubled my head about hooks. When my father 
died, he left me this farm, and I have always 
worked on it just as he did. and followed in all 
the ways of farming that he taught me, and I 
have made out to I/ve, sir, and reckon I am about 
as forehanded as my neighbors. I want Nat to 
do the same, and if he does not. he shall never 
have to blame me for putting high notions into 
his heath” 
“Then yon won't subscribe anything toward 
the coarse of lectures?” 
“ No sir, I shall not.” 
“ How anxious he is for your good,” whispered 
George to Xat with a comical grimace, as he 
lowered a basket of apples from the tree to his 
brother, “You ought to feel deeply grateful to 
him. He don’t seem to caro so much what be¬ 
comes of me.” George was giving way of late 
to a sort of reckless spirit Nat said nothing, 
but he looked grave and troubled. More than a 
year had passed since the examination, and 
wrought changes in both the boys. [To be con¬ 
cluded next week. 
The sun was just going down, in a smoky July 
sky, and sending long bright gleams over the hill 
tops. Some of them, straggling across acres of 
green meadows, and brown, nodding wheat fields 
strayed through the window into the great 
kitchen of Joseph Streeter's farm house.— 
Pretty Nellie Streeter, busily setting the table 
for supper, glanced a welcome from her cheery 
face as the sunbeam stole across the white cloth, 
and carolled, half to herself, 
“ Oh I 1 love the merry, merry sunshine. 
For it makes the world so glad.” 
.At the sink stood farmer Streeter, with his 
Bleeves rolled tip above his elbows, vigorously 
dashing the cold water upon liis sunburned face 
and arms, stained with the dust of a day’s lahor. 
“We shall have a good hay-day to-morrow,” 
said he, looking out at the window as a long red 
ray stole in. “ I mean to try and finish that south 
lot to-morrow, so as to take a fair start with the 
wheat next week. Nat and George must stay 
out of school and help. One day won’t make 
much odds with what they’ll learn at school, I 
reckon.” 
Farmer Streeter was a very positive man, and 
as he concluded his remark, he polished off his 
ruddy face, and hung up the towel with a look 
that said, very plainly, “ it will be of no use for 
any one to oppose me,— I shall have my way.” 
Nellie stopped half-way iu the tune she was 
humming, and sliced the bread in silence. Little, 
meek-faced Mrs. Streeter looked up with a 
troubled face, from the steaming coffee-pot, aud 
ventured a timid remonstrance. 
“Now, Joseph, I wouldn’t. Y T ou know next 
week is examination, and the hoys want to stand 
well in their classes.” 
“Examination! well, they’ll study all the bet¬ 
ter for a little hard work.” 
“ But you know you kept them out two days last 
week, and N t r said he would not be out again for 
five dollars,” and Mrs. Streeter's voice grew 
more courageous, pleading for the boys.

moments, talking cheerfully with his mother of 
some little jobs he had planned for vacation, to 
improve the yard and garden, then took his light 
and went up stairs. 
“Are you going to study to-night,” said George, 
sleepily, as Nat seated himself at the table. “I 
wouldn’t touch a book. I have just made up my 
mind to stop trying, for it isn’t of any use at all.

Nothing won is lost;

Will repay the cost.'”
