FARMER JOHN. 
IIomk from his Journey Farmer John 
Arrivoii Mils rimming. safe anil sound. 
Ills black coat off. and ill* old clothes on, 
“ Now l’iu myself,” says Farmer John; 
And lie thinks, “I’ll look around." 
Up leaps tin- dog; “ Got down, yon pup! 
Are you so glad yon would cut mn up?” 
The old cow lows at the gate, to greet him ; 
The hor.es prick up their ears, to meet him ; 
“ Well, well, eld Hay 1 
Ha. ha, old Gray! 
Do yon not set good feed when I’m away? 
“ Von liav'nt a rib!” says Farmer John : 
“ The Cattle are looking round arid sleek; 
The colt is going to he a roan. 
And u beauty, too ; how hejhas grown ! 
We’ll wean the calf next week.” 
Says Km mof John, '* When I’ve been off, 
To call you again about the trough, 
And watch you, and pet yon, while you drink, 
lb a greater comfort than you cun think!” 
And lie pats old Huy, 
And he slaps old Urey: 
“ Alt, this Is Uni comfort of going awfiy! 
“ For, after all,*' said Farmer John, 
“ The best of a journey Is gelling home ! 
I’ve seen great sights,—but would 1 give 
This spot, and the peaceful life i live, 
For all their Furls and Homo? 
These hills for the city's stilled nlr, 
And big lintels, all bustle and glare, 
Hand all hou.icH.nnd roads nil stories, 
That deafen yourflurr and batter your bones? 
Would you, old Bay? 
Would voai old Gray? 
That’s what one gets by going nway ! 
“ There, Money Is king,'’ says Farmer John; 
“ And Fashion Is queen; and it's mighty queer 
To see how, sometime*, while the man 
Is railing and scraping nil he can, 
“ The w ife spend-, every year. 
Enough, you would think, for a score of wives 
To keep them In luxury all their lives ! 
Tim town l» a perfect Babylon 
To a quiet chap,” says Farmer John. 
“ i ou see, old Hay, 
You see, old Gray,— 
I’m wiser than when 1 wont away. 
*' I’ve found out this,” says Farmer John,— 
” That happiness Is not bought mill sola. 
And clutched tn a life of waste and hurry. 
In night* of pleasure mid days ol' worry; 
And wealth isn't all hi gold. 
Mortgage, mid stocks, and ten per cent.. 
Hut in simple way s, and sweet content, 
Few wants, pure hopes, and nohle ends, 
Homo land in till, mid a few good friends, 
Jake you, old Buy. 
And you, old (fray ! 
That’s what. I 've learned hy going away.” 
And a happy man Is Farmer John,— 
O, a rich and happy man Is he I 
He sees the peas and pumpkins growing. 
The corn tn tassel, the buckwheat blowing, 
And ft nit on vino mid tree; 
The large, kind oxen look their lliaiiks 
As he rubs their foreheads and strokes their 
flank*; 
Tlio doves light round him, and strut and coo; 
Says Farmer John, “ I’ll take you, too,— 
Ami you, old Hay, 
Ami you, old Gray, 
The next tlmo 1 travel so far away ! "

FROM RURAL CORRESPONDENTS. 
A Short Answer. 
Tiif. inhabitants of Brownvjlle have a new 
minister, a mild-mannered, reserved man, 
whose wife is young, pretty, and fashion¬ 
able. In the church are several old fogies, 
to whom Mrs. Minister’s pretty toilettes and 
lively manners are very obnoxious, and, con¬ 
vening in solemn session, they discussed tiie 
enormity of her offenses and determined to 
send one of their number to represent their 
feeling to their pastor. 
Deacon Fi dok, prolix and conceited, was 
delegated to “ bell the cat.” The minister 
received him with his ordinary grave cour¬ 
tesy and listened with polite attention while 
the deacon enumerated the offenses of his 
gay young partner, winding up with the 
emphatic declaration, “ Wo don't approve of 
her, sir; we don't approve.” Three words 
closed the conference, and the answer in its 
sententious comprehensiveness was worthy 
of Git ANT. 
“ She suits me,” mildly answered the min¬ 
ister.—A lpha, 
Census Taking Humor*. 
A shout distance from the residence of 
the writer lives a well-to-do farmer, about 
sixty years old, who married Ids second wife 
eight years ago. A few weeks since the 
census taker called on this old farmer, whom 
we will call C-, and alter some other 
questions, asked him: 
“ What is your wife’s given name ?” 
As the narrator, who saw the circum¬ 
stance, says, 0- looked up, then he 
looked down, then opened his eyes, appar¬ 
ently perfectly astonished ; finally his mouth 
opened mid he said : 
“Well, I declare! I really don’t know! 
I think it is Betsy Ann Philips, but I’ll go 
round into the cow yard and ask her.” And 
away lie went. 
At a further stage in the proceedings he 
said to the census marshal: 
“ There’s a little gairl here, and she ain’t 
worth a lm’porLh here nor nowhere else; but 
I suppose you better take lier name down.” 
The above is well authenticated and un¬ 
doubtedly true.—. t. p.

Reading a capital letter in the Telegraph, 
our friend, Mrs. Jones, came on the words, 
“ France is pullulating ” “ Meaning of that 
word, quick ?” she demanded of her nephew, 
Sammy. “ Germinating, aunt,” promptly 
responded the “ well-educated infant.” After 
some thought, Aunt Jones observed, " Very 
right; if I were French, 1 should be Ger- 
inan-hating, too.” Sammy hooted, but bolt¬ 
ed in time to escape a box on his irreverent 
ears.— Punch. 
Not Very Far Wrong. 
Mrs. Malaphop says that every one

Owing to recent improvements in mechanism, they 
arc adapted equally well to light and graceful music

No Instruments afford such a sympathetic und 
satisfactory accompaniment to the voice. 
Those tvho have formed their opinions of reed 
organs from their recollections of the antiquated 
“ Melodeon,” should now hear the full volume of
