'Poetry,
A WOItW OF ADVICE TO THE SONS
OP T1IOSl. EARLY PIONEERS,
Young noble 0011e of noble sires, just 000
short word lo you ;
But don't arise i11 irniie rage if I speak
plain and 10111 ;
With all life's mnuforts, wealth and 1au,ls,
did you ovor think ray boy,
Haw your old father toiled and sera Whoa
for what you now oujoy
Your stately bonito of brick or stone, shade
trees to lteop it dark,
Your father's first—a low log hut-00w0r0d
with basswood bark ;
Yon pleasant porno affords you hath, both
eye and taste to 111100.01,
But don't forgot the dear old man that bo't
and cleared the farm.
Past horses with your shilling rig, you drive
00 stylish smart ;
Your father, just as good a lean, rodo in
his old ox cart,
And when ho tolls you how ha lived, or rode
long years ago,
Don't say they kept up fashions then, or
old folks were too slow ;
You now can look on well Bleared flohls you
plough and sow with ease,
Look back to your old father's time when
they were clad with trees,
Give him duo honor for his toil, 111(1(3101 ful-
lest, truest toren ;
"Ptvas he that ohopp0d and cleared for you
that precious pleasant farm.
You farm nllteh with machinery now, with
art and skill combined,
With all those helps at your command, atlll
take a glance behind,
To days when your o1111 father farmed, ho
no such helps did know ;
By hand ho sowed and threshed fila grain,
by hand did reap and mow ;
Don't laugh at his uItl fashioned work,
though crooked he did plough,
Tho stumps and stones aro all removed,
you inay plough straighter now ;
Don't call hint childish, when ho boasts of
his once powerful arm,
Think on the anffo'ing ho endured before
ho cloarod the farm.
Pont snap and snarl at the old man, if
with you he remains,
Remember what you now possess caused
all his aches and pains ;
(live him the hest place in your house, no
comforts him duty,
He surely had his share of trials in tho o1(1
days gone by ;
As you behold his tottering steps, each clay
your love renew.
Yon cannot do ton 111001 for him that brav-
ed so mucin for you.
And while around his quivering knees your
own young offspring swarm,
Just tell to thorn, how their grandpa had
cleared for you the farm.
Look back, 0 think what ho endured since
110 chopped the first tree ;
IIe born it all to gain a home, that hope ho
gives to thee ;
Food, cheer and comfort your old sire, and
strive him to repay ;
Bestow on hint a moll reward, before ho
pass away ;
And as his life blood ebbs away, hold rip
his drooping head ;
With gentle hand and loving heart, 0 suotho
his dying bed,
And when tho grave hides hint from view
still koop his memory warm,
And with it koop tiro old homestead, your
father's (hear bought farm.

1,Yes, A firm in Ecliand, who were
engaged in the wholosato sugar trade,
have failed for 81,000,000." "le it
possible ?" exclaimed Mrs. Smith.
"The recent reduction ill the price of
sugar caused their failure ; didn't it ?"
"I don't know," said Smith, "I guess
the reason of their failure was becalm
