THE FARMER'S TOES,
DV I'. J. WOOD,
The farmer's lot h a hard one, lure,
You cannot imagine all he has to endure,
No wonder he grumbles and frets at kit lot,
For he can not rest easy in any one spot.
In the spring It commences; it's too wePtd sow,
The weather turns colder; his crop's under the'
snow ;
Then comes the strong wind, which blows them
away,
And starts a prairie fire, which burns tip h!s hay.
And just as the weather begins to let up,
Along come the cut worms and eat it all up,
The little striped gopher comes in for his share,
Who divides wish his couiin, a rascally pair.
So the farmer rcpUnts it, working early and late,
While sitting on the fence, looking sober, sedate,
Are the craws and the black birds, both laying
their plans
To take the corn raising all ofT of his hands.
Well, the wheat has come up; is about to get ripe,
When ten billion of chintz bugs open the fight.
They come, and they comiucr, and they march
up the hill,
His harvest is past, without any bill.
Sometimes, the grasshoppers, to help out the rest,
As black clouds of heaven, come out of the west
And cat all they want, of anything green,
Till no living plant on the earth can be seen.
And cholera comes, too. and takes oft' the hogs,
His sheep are all killed, by somt- neighbor's dogs,
The wolves come and get his chickens at night
And the tax-gatherer keeps him in continual af
fright. He is hindered at morning, by a lightning rod
agent,
Who wont let him ofT, to fill his engagement,
Till he has agreed to pay so much for his tod
That lie wishes all agents were under the sod.
Hut he is hardly gone, ere another one comes,
Who has a new book that will help him do sums,
He'd very much like his name on his list,
And he talks it so nicely that he puts down his fist
He is met at the door, when he comes up at noon,
By a different fellow, and a different tune,
Who has a huge fortune in an iron fence scheme;
Hedrivesa finecarriage,drawn by a matched team,
Who sa)s there's money in it, and tells it so true
That he pays for the right of a county or two,
But when he is gone, he rinds out too late
That lie is the worst swindled man in the State,
And so it goes on, from morning till night,
There's hardly a thing that comes out just right.
The order he gave for the book was a note;
In order to pay it, it will take the last shute.
Vou can't find any fun in farming for me;
I'm going to town, and then you shall see
That I'll learn a profession of an honorable kind,
And lead a life that is more to my mind,
An old liquor dealer, now retired
frym business, in an interview says:
"in most of tho gin sold thoro will be
found oil of vitrol, oil of turpontine,
oil of almonds, sulphuric ether, and
extracts of grains of paradise. It is in
tho manufacture of whisky, however,
that the adulterators do tho finest
work. You can purchaso oils and es
sences fiom which 'whisky of any age'
can 1)0 produced. This stylo of whis
ky when tested will show sulphuric
acid, caustic potossa, benzine, mix
vomica, and other poisons. This is tho
sort of stuff that bores into tho coat
ings of tho stomach and creates ul
cers. Pure whisky, in my opinion, will
hurt no one when taken iu reasonable
quantities, but this adulterated stuff is
murderous. In porter you will find
opium, horbanc, capsicum, cocculus in
dicus, copperas, tobacco, and sulphur
io acid. In boor, alum, opium, mix
vomica, green copperas, vitrol, sub-
carbonate of potash, and jalop are
used."
Mouoy for a Rainy Day.
"For six years my daughter was sick
from kidnev and othor disorders. We
had used up our savings on doctors,
when our dominie advised us to try
Parker's Ginger Tonic. Fopr bottles
effected a cure, anil as a dollar's worth
has, kept our family well for over a
year, wo have been able to lay by
monoy again for a rainy day," A Poor
Man's Wife.
