almost with carriages. It is true 
many have forsaken the main roads

so seldom venture.

“The institution of Old Home 
Week, established but a few years 
since, has become a well-beloved

“Massachusetts extends a hearty 
invitation to her wandering sons 
and daughters to return in the va-

A SUMMER RETORT. 
BY JOSEPH A. TORREY. 
’Twas Summer in the country, 
The sun was pouring down 
Its rays upon the head of one 
Who lately came from town,— 
One who had left the city streets, 
(Which have a shady side,) 
And sought the country’s green retreats 
Short season to abide. 
And as he took his walk abroad, 
All on a Summer day, 
He saw at work beside the road, 
A farmer, raking hay. 
He paused awhile to view the scene, 
And, taking off his hat, 
Against the fence would idly lean 
To have a little chat. 
By way of a remark, said he, 
“I think its deuced hot; 
Oh, what a blessing rain would be ”— 
Said the farmer fiercely, ‘‘ What”! 
“Would you have rain in haying time 
And spoil the season’s crop? 
Your ignorance is quite sublime, 
Worthy a city fop”! 
Then did the city man resume 
His hat and walk away. 
His face took on a shade of gloom, 
He knew not what to say. 
No more along the country side 
’T was his delight to roam, 
Within the town would he abide — 
His place were best at home. 
Next week as on his way he ran 
To business in the town, 
He saw the selfsame country man — 
*T was surely Farmer Brown! 
Amid a knot of city men 
Brown mopped his steaming brow. 
The citizen to himself said then, 
“T’ll speak to him, I vow.” 
Just then the farmer from the crowd 
His city friend espied, 
Familiarly to him he bowed, 
And hastened to his side. 
His greetings o’er, he talked about 
The crops, the trade, the weather, 
And how the dreadful dust and drought 
Had held for weeks together. 
And furthermore, he said, “‘’Twas plain, 
As any man might see, 
That what we needed now was rain, 
To lay the dust,” said he. 
The citizen essayed to speak: 
“Ts not this haying-time? 
When you were raking hay last week 
The thought of rain was crime” ! 
“Oh yes, ’ twas just a week ago,” 
Said the farmer, with a grin; 
“Things now are different you know, 
I’ve got my hay all in”.
