"You say that my life is a round of toil 2v
The stalyvart farmer said,
That I scarce can wrest from the • oft•tilled soil
My pittance of daily bread?
Well, what you tell me in part is true.
. I am seldom an idle man, •
But I value the blessing -of -rest, as yen,
ho have much of it, never can, .
" t• surely, I never have worked in vain,
, role the spr4ng to the golden fall; •
Y The harvest has -ever brought waving grain;
Enough and to spare for all.
And when in the evening.iresdfrom care,
I sit at gay farm -house door, •
Hy Wife and little ones waiting there.
Oh, what has the millionaire iafore?
" My children may neverhave hoarded wealth,
Their lives may a4 times be rough;
But it in their homeirthey have love and health
They will Haft these riches enough.
The'only land they will ever own,
Is the :and that the Owing right arm
And the patient, fearless heart alone
Can till to Rierbilo farm.
"I have nothing beyond my simple wants
•
' And a little for Cloudy daya •
But no grim spectre my homestead haunts,
Such as silver and gold might raise.
Around me are eyed that with sparkling mirth
. Or with placid contentment shine -
And no wealth•ologged lord upon all the earth
Has a lot time blessed than mine,"

PHILOSOPHY OF NIGHT-CAPS.
One' of the most prosaic explanatione
ever .givet for the ;source of dreams is
that whioh aphyeloianahas just put for-

wea
r eg nighli-eape. "When cold weather
seta in suddenlyaud is much felt at night,
the head which is uncovered bas the blood
eupplied to it driven from the surface to
the deer parts, notably the brain -the
results are light sleep and dreams. The
obvious remedy," he continues, "is to wear
a nigbtontp as long as the cold weather
lastie" Thie reasoning may be, no doubt,
sound enough. from a dootor% point of
view, but the conclusion is, nevertheless,
not one that everybody will agree with at
once. • It Is cbvious, of course, that if a
man goes to elder on it cold night with the:
head uncarvered, he ma;dream of being
verareold. • The sleeperraor, iestance, may

his head frozen fast in an iceberg, spg that
