The Farmer'- Trouble.
I UN 1ST IMRTB.
I am greatly trouMed about my son,
Pray tell nie, neighbor, what can be done,
For he studies liy niht and studies by day
A wasting lamp oil and brains away,
And he looks so pale and so thin and white
He might be taken for a ghost at night.
He tells about kings and queem and wars.
Invention of steamboat and railway cars,
Of wonderful places beyond the sea,
That do not interest either you or me,
And tell about eople a thousand years dead
Till I think the boy clear out of his head.
Speak about stars, he can name every one,
Knows the distance from my house to the
sun;
But how he found out I can't understand,
For it isn't measured like I measure land;
nd something else, neighbor; I must not
fnnret.
He says the sun does not rise and set.
But not a useful thing does the boy know,
For he cannot plow even a cotton row,
Nor dig my potatoes, nor hoc the corn,
And he'll starve to death when I'm dead and
gone,
For the laziest vagrant in all the land
Is a ten time better fanner's hand.
But there's something stranger yon must
hear,
The boy has been offered a thousand a vcar
To fill some position of honor and trust,
I know he's my son, but then to be just
He'll lose his position when the people all
know
He can't hoe potatoes nor plow a straight
row.
Though the farmer thought his prediction
wise
The boy gained favor in other men's eyes
By industry, study and honesty too
His father's old maxim he proved quite un
true, That a man can't succeed because he doesn't
know
How to manage farm or handle a hoa
