THE FARMER BOY'S SONG.
Let others boast of wealth and fame,
Pursue them those that love them,
Be mine such wild - desires to tame,
And raise myself above them.
Content may find a resting place
Within a lowly cottage,
And Love will think it no disgrace
- To dine with me on pottage.
•
If happineis is what we need,
In palace of in hovel,
Pray, is it found' with greatest speed
With sceptre or with shovel
I tell you that the Farmer boy
Staodsin the greatest peril
-Of reaping in those fields of joy
That to the prince are sterile.
Oh yes! oh yes ! I love my lot,
Though it be rough and narrow-.
All Kansas' gold can tempt me not
To leave my plow and harrow. a.
We delve, and chop, and clip_ the fleece,
With hopefulness and vigor; ,
We are the nation's pride in peace,
In war can pall the trigger
Tea Baer Idaszatt.—One of the speakers
at a late public meeting in Boston, revived
the following pleasant story:
In the good old days when General Jack
son was President, be was making a tour to
visit the-northern portion of his dominion,
and was received at every city and every
village by a ceremonious welcome. Coin
miueee were appointed, and every man hid
a little speech of his own to make. It hap
pened that in the city of New York, the ar
rangement was to have the committee of the
city to go to Amboy, and meet the General
on board the steamboat, and there welcome
him to the hospitality of New York,. and es
cort him to the city, the chairman of the com
mittee was an alderman, distinguished for
more soundness in the Democratic faith than
for shining talents is an orator, one of the
very few .persons in our country who ate
wholly unaccustomed to public speaking
When the committee reached Amboy, the
General came as boaid the boat, and they
stepped forward and were presented. The
Alderman, making a most profound bow, and
having prepared himself most ,elaborately,
'begat): "May it plows you excellency"—
and then suddenly seemed struck ilth.t:on

help, but nothing was. suggested, and again
he began with a, profound. bciw-s." May it

It was early in the spring, and the- old
bunter had just returned horn Columbia,
where had been to carry the produce of his
winter's labor, which consisted mostly of fore.
He had received 'quite a sum of money. and
bad brought it borne with him.. The old
man had for several. ears been accumulating
money, for oiviliistion was rapidly approach
ing him, and he meant that his children
should start on fair terms with the world.
Que evening, just as the family was sitting
down to the frugal supper, they wereattraeted.
by the sudden howling of the dogs, and as
Slater went to the door to see what was the
matter, he saw thre&nten approaching.
He quickly quieted the dogs, and the
strangers approached the door. They asked
for something to eat and also for lodgings
for the night. John Slater was not a man
to refuse a request of that kind, and he asked
the strangers in. They 'set their rifles be
hind the door, unslung their packs androom
was made for them at the supper table.
They presented themselves as travellers bound
father West, intending to cross the Mississippi
' in search of a settlement.
The new comers were far from being
agreeable or prepossessing in their looks,
but Slater took no notice of the eirperostanT
ces, for he was pot ova to doubt say man.
The boys, however, did not like their appear
ance at all, and quick glances which they
gave each other told their feeling. The bun,
ter's wife was_not at the table, but she sat
in her great easy chair by the fire.
Slater entered into conversation with his
guests, but they were not very free, and after
a little while the talk dwindle to occasional
questions. Philip, the elder of the two, no
ticed that the men cast uneasy glances about
the room, and he watched. them narrowly.
His fears bad become excited, and he could
not rest. He knew that his father bad a large
sum of money in the house, and his first
thought was that these men were there for
the purpose of robbery.
After supper was over the boys quickly
cleared off the table, and then went out of
doors. It had become dark, or rather the

tLe younger boy.
"So am I. I believe they mesa to steal

looked around I"
" Yes."
"So did I. If we should tell father what
we think, be would .only laugh at us, and tell
us we were perfect scarecrows."
don, and then going to the doghouse, they
set the small door aback, so that the bounds
Might spring forth if they were wanted. If
they bad desired to speak to their father
about their suspicions, they bad no chance,
for the strangers sat close by him all the
evening.
At length, however, the old man signified
his intention of reiiring, and arose to go out
of doors to see 'the state of affairs Without.
The three followed him, but they did not
takeitheir weapons. The old lady was asleep
in her chair.
"Now;" whispered Phillip, "let's take two
of father's rifles up to our bed--we may want
them. We are as good as men, with the
rifles."
Daniel sprang to obey, and qtrlck as pos
sible the boys slipped two rifles from their
pocket behind the great stove chimney, and
then hastened back - and emptied the priming
from the stranger's rifles; and when that
father and the straogdrs returned they had
resumed their seats.
.The hunter's cabin was divided into two
apartments on the ground floor, one athletes,
in the end of the building, being the old
tmaws sleeping room, and the other room in
which the present company sat. Overhead
there.' wise sort of scaffolding, reaching only
half way over the room below it, "and in the
opposite end of the building from the little
sleeping apartment or the hooter. A rough
ladder led up to the scaffold, and on it; close
up to the boy's bed. There was no partition.
at the edge of the scaffolding, but it was all
open to the room below.
Spare bedding waa spread-upon . the floor
'of the kitcken for the three travellers, and
after everything bad been arranged for their
comfort, the boys went up to their bed; and
the old man retired to his little toom.
The boys thought not of sleep, or if they
did it was only to avoid it. Half so bout
had pawed away, and then they could bear
their father snore. Then tbev bean' a move

lends to where he could peep down through,
nd saw one of the men open his pack, from
which he took several pieces of raw meat,
by the rays cf,the moon , and moving towards
the window, be shoved, the sash !Nick and
threw the pieces of flesh to the dogs. Then
ho went back to bis bed and lay down.
At first 'the boys thought this might be
thrown to tbi dogs, toslistract their attention;
but when the man laid..down,:the idea flash.
ed through Phillip's mind of poison. He
whispered his thoughts to his brother. - The
first impulse of little Daniel, as be heard that
his pisor dogs - were to he poisaced, was to
cry out, but a sudden pressure from the hand
of his brother kept him silent.
At the end of - the boys* bed was a dark

directly over the dogs' house, Pbtllip iesolvial

A. Tale of Western Life.
When Kentucky was an infant State, and
before the foot of civilization had trodden her
-giant forest., there lived upon a branch of
the Green river, an old hunter by the name
of Slater. Ilia but was upon the southern
bank of.the stream, and save a *smell patch
of some dozen sores that bad been - cleared
by his own axe, be was shut up_by dense old
forests. Slater bad two children at twine
with bim—two sons Philip and Daniel—the
formerfourteen and the latter twelve. years
of age.
We elder children bad gone South. -Dia
Wife was with bin), but she bed been for several
years an almost helpless cripple from- the ef
fect of severe rheumatism.
"But we can watch them."
"Yea, we will watch them, but dun's let
min know it."
The boys then held some further coosulta-
be in his hands! The thought was a .tower
of auength in itself.
Phillip opened the window without mov
tog from his bed, and it swung on its hinges
without noise.- Then he threw off the sheet
and tied the corner of it to the staple by
which the window was 'hooked. The sheet
was then lowered on the outside, and care: .
fully 'the brave boy let himself out upon_ it.
Ile enjidned his brother not to move, and
then slid noiselessly down. The hounds had
foetid the meat, but they drew back at their
young master's beck, and Phillip gathered
the flesh all up. ,Ile easily quieted the faith
ful brutes, and then quickly tied the meat in
the sheet. There - was a little ladder standing
near' the dog-house, and vetting this up
against the building, Philip made his way
back to his little loft, and when once safely
there he pulled the sheet in after him.
The strangers bad not been aroused, and
with beating' heart the boy thanked God.
lie bad performed an act, simple as it may
appear, at which many a stout heart would
have quailed. The dogs growled as they_
went, back idto their'kennel, and if' the
'dangers hearfl ,them„ they thought the poor
aniquils-we're growling over the repast they
had found.
I At length the hounds ceased their noise,
and all was quiet. ',An hour passed' away,
and so did another. It mast have been sear
ly midwgbt when the metittroved again, and
the lad Phillip saw _the rays of a candle Bashi
up through the cracks of the floor on which
stood his bed. He would have moved to the
crack where he could peep doWn, but at that
moment he beard a man upon the ladder.
He uttered a quick whisper to his brother,
and . they lay perfectly still. 'The fellow seem
ed to be
for
sadsfied that they were
asleep, for .he soon returned to the ground
door, and then Phillip crept to the crack. He

whispering :
We'd kill the old mats and woman first,"
said one of them, "and then we'll hunt. the
money. If those little brats up there. (point

of them."
But we =IA kill them all," said another
of the *Allem
," Yes," returned the speaker, "but the old
°lie first,"
' Phillip's heart beat with horror.
"Down the ladder outside! quick'!" he
whispered to his brother. " Down, and start
op the lilts! lan fur the frOnt door, and
throw it open—it i.sn't fastened. Oh; do let
the dogs in • the Eloise as quick as you can !
I'll look out for fattier while you go."
-Daniel quickly crawled out through the
little window, and Phillip seized a title and
crept to the Lead of the scaffold. Two.of the
viliians wets just approaching the door of his
father's room. They had set the candle dawn

One of the men had his hand upon the latch
The boy hero uttered a single word of heart

The villian whose hand was On the latch, ut
terstd one sharp, quick cry, and then fell upon
the floor. Tha bullet had passed through his
brain.
For tin instant the two remaining villains
Were confounded, but they' cluickly compre
hended the nature and position of their ene
my, and they sprang fur the ladder. They
did not _reach it,,bower, for that instantuhe
outer door was dung open, and the houndro—
four in number—sprang into the house. With
a deep, wild yell, the animals leaped upon
the villain; and they bad drawn them upon
the floor just as the old butttertame from his
room.
"Help us! help us, father!" tried Phillip,
as he hurried down the ladder. "I've shot .
one of them! , They
_are muderers I robbers!
Hold 'eat, bold 'ens!" the boy continued,
clapping his bands to the dogs.
Old Slater comprehended the nature of the
scene. in a moment, and sprang to die spot
where tbe bounds had the two men on the
floor. The villains had both lost their knives,
and the dogs bad so Wounded them 'that
they were incapable of resistance.
,With
much di ffi culty the animals svei>e called off,
and then the two men were lifted to a
seat. There was no need of binding them,
for they neetUd some wore restorative agent,
a• the dogs •had made quick• work in di,-

After they bad been looked to, the old
man cast his eyes about the room. They'
rested a moment upon the hod} of him who
had been shot, then turned npbn the boys.
Phillip told him all tiq, had transpired. It
seemed Bomb time hefcire the old hunter
could crowd the whole • teeming truth
through his mindi but as be gradually coin
preliended it all, a loft, grateful, proud light
broke over his features, and be held, his arms
out to his sons.
Noble, noble boys!" be uttered, sidle
duped them to his bosom, " God biers you
for di+ I Ob, I dreamed not that you bad

For a long time the old man gazed' on
boys in silence, while tears of love and grati

face, was lighted up with the moat joyous,
holy pride,
