THK PLOWBOY'S SONG. Like honey, or fine amber oil. Spills the sunshine on my soil; The weather weaves a charm of gold, a time my plow upturns the mold. The bluebirds, fluttering an they fly, Winged iris-blooms, go by; Hark! the woodpecker newly come Amid the maples beats his drum. I feel the cold loam round my boots, I hear the snap of puiiK'-nt roots.

In bulbous mats and tangles laid, That part before the coulter-blade. Pull, pull, my team! 'tis good to hold The plow-helves while the glebe Is rolled Above the share and tumbled free In dark brown waves by you and me! This furrow is the" way to health. And golden stores of honest wealth; The plow. It Is the magic kty in the strong lock of destiny. The seasons come, the seasons go, And warm winds sigh, and cold winds blow; But, snow or plcf-t.

or drouth or rain, There must be grass, there must be grain. J'ull, pull, my team! his work Is best. Who, close to nature's a i breast, In dewy morn, or noon-day heat. Can hear her deepest pulses beat. Open, old earth! the millions wait For bread before thy ample gate, And know, whatever may befall, The plowman's hand must feed thorn nil! --Maurice Thompson, In the Companion.
