§Ile is surely a fortunate fellow:

And though hard is his lalior in suiiiincr,
In winter he lives at his case.
\‘v'li;ir. the reign of winter is broken.
And Spring comes to gladden and bless——-
\Vlicn the flocks in the meadow are sporting,
And the robin is buildiiig'licrucst——
And manly and firm in his tread,
As he scatters the seed for the harvest
Thiit yields to the nations their bread.
Ilis banks are all chartered by iiat.ure——
Tlieir-ci'edit'sare ample and sure;
Pursiied by the curse of the poor;
His stocks are the best in the inarkct;
His shares are the sliares of his plough ;
They bring the bright gold to his coffers,
And pleasure and hoaltli to his brow.
\Vhen his fields with rich harvests are teoniiug,
And the rcupcrs go Iortli to their toil,
None so happy and free as the fiiriner-—-
Posscssor and lord of the soil ;
As none buta fariiier can sing,
Aral would not cxcliango his condition
For the splendor and pomp ofa. king.
\Vlien his crops are all g:ithei'ed and slieltered,
And his cattle are sung in the fold,

And laughs at. the tompcsts and cold.

morning was so fine, l’d just step in and
see whether you were all alive, for really
it seems an age sincel saw any of you‘
——you’ve not been at all neighborly of

I know it, Mrs. Shaw, but you must ex~;

feeble for some weeks past that we have
not been able to lcave—-nsotlicr is with her
now and desires to be excused. =
Certainly, she is very excusable. I was"
iiot aware that your grandmother was
sick—l'm excessively sorry to hear it-
should assuredly have been round to see;
her before, had I been aware of her illness.
Ido think so much of your g|‘dntlti'i0lll8l'—-l
she is certainly the sweetest old lady Illtl‘:
I ever knew. I I tell ll-Ir. Shaw she reminds
rr_ie so much of my own dear dead moilieri
—lias the same dignified manner and be"-I
nevolent countenarice that she bad. And
her character is very much like my moth-
er’s too, always doing good among the
poor and sick. I regret excessively that
I was not aware :of her illness-—sbou'd

Good morning, Mrs. Sliaw; you look,

'Ihank you, Mrs. Smith, I will, for I am
‘quite weary; Iiave made several calls this
morning; calls are an awful bore in me

It’s miserable, Mrs. S-mith—miserable.
Ircally oiiglit to be at home and in bed

ing was so fine, I must get round and see
Mrs. Smith, I vc so long been wishing to
come. Mr. Shaw thought I was impru-
dent to walk so far; butl told him I would
stop and rest several times on the way. I
wouldn’t attempt to take such a walk
except to see a very ]iarn'c-u/or friend,
which I hope I may call you, Mrs. Smith.
Certainly, Mrs. Sliaw-— you do me much
honor. I hope you‘ll not be the worse for
the exertion. Have you been long an in-
valid ?
I have so, my health has been very pre-
carious for some years. 0. Mrs. Smith-
you cannot imagine how excessively tired
I’ve become of taking such quantities of
medicine as the old fashioned doctors give.
I tell Mr. Show the very sight of it disgusts
me.
Sure.
l’ve heard so much of Dr. Smitli’s aston-
ishing success in liispracticc, that I should
not hesitate ii moment to place myself
under his care, and go through a course
of liomoeopatliic treatment, if it were not
‘for fcuir of offending old Dr. Billings, who
has always been our family pliysicim;
and we are fearful he might feel hurt you
know.
Snre—but I do not think he would be.
Dr. Smith has one of Dr. .More’s patients,
