BY ERREST 1IARTE. In a little country farm-house On the corner of the lane, Not many years ago, there lived A little girl named Jane. . In another country farm-house, Farther up the lane, Lived Tim, a handsome farmer boy, Who loved the little Jane. And often in the Summer time Did merry little Jne, Looking for the blackberries, Wander up and down the lane. And oft she met the farmer's boy, But only smiled at him, And once she made him happy By saying "Neighbor Tlm.n - "Timothy," his father called him, Timothy, don't you see, I want that piece of land eleared, There, next to neighbor Lee." At this Tim's heart gave a bound of joy, For he knew it was the place He had often seen our little Jane, With her happy, smiling face. He kaew it was the very place Where her turkey-nest was found, And that she'd come to get the eggs " While he cleared up the ground. . "All right," said Tim, with a smiling face, As off he went to clear the ground; But scarce had he begun to work, When a turkey nest he found. Jaue went that very evening She didn't know he was there And afterwards regretted That she didn't gg elsewhere. "What are you doing, Tim?" she cried. "Clearing up the ground. And here, Miss Jane," he said, "Are your turkey eggs I found." She placed them In her bonnet, And quickly ran away To see if she could find the nests Where the other turkies lay. But scarcely had she left the woods, When it began to rain, And Tim came driving p uthe way O'ertook the little Jane. "Caught in the rain, I see," said Tim. "Jump in my cart, Miss Jane, You'll find a seat on that lightwood log, And I'll take you up the lane." He asked about her turkeys, How many she had in all, If they were very gentle, And would they come at call? She answered all his questions, But asked not one of him, And when he stopped at the corner, Said "I thank you, neighbor Tim." "Tim I" called good old neighbor Lee, "Come in here out of the rain." And when he started off for home, Asked him to call again. So Tim but not without excuse At the corner of the line, Oft stopped to get some water, Or bring some eggs to Jane. So folks for folks will talk, you know Began to say "Little Jane, We fear, will not much longer stay At the corner of the lane" One day when Tim came by, she asked Where will my turkeys lay?" "If you do not care," he whispered, "I'll tell you where they may." "Of course I want you to tell me, Tim." "Well, don't you know," said he, "That new house over yonder Is being built for me ? If you'll be mistress of it, There's plenty of brush around. If you can ever'love me, I'll 1lta f fttn A ii.1.ii1 wt.s1 ' She answered with a blushing smile And he softly said good-bye That new house over yonder Is the one they occupy. A MIXTURE.

The Goldshoro Argus says that one of the strongest arguments that the farmers of this section would be inestimably bene fited and enriched in more than kind by having their smoke , houses at home and stocking them for themselves on the farm, is contained i 1 this fact, that Mr. W. R. Hollowell, has put up this season over five thousand pounds of home-raised meat ; and from the sale of one hog alone, in the way. of hams, sausage and lard, he has realized, in round figures, fifty dollars and five cents.
