The Farmer Never Satisfied.

On a Wisconsin Central train I, met an old friend of the late Thaddeus Stevens. He told a little story related to him by Stevens thoroughly illustrative of tho fact 'that the farmer is the most discontented person on earth, whether his crops be bountiful or net. It was in an early day, and Mr. Stevens had been conducting an important suit for a wealthy old Pennsylvania fbrmer. During its progress he was the latter’s guest. While strolling over the farm, Mb. Stevens observed that the farmer’s corn crop, which was just ripening, vjss remarkable beyond anything ho had ever seen. “My friend,” said Mr. Stevens to the farmer, “this is truly magnificent! There is nothing left to be desired in your corn yield this year.” “W-e-1-1,” responded the farmer guardedly, “it is party fair; party fair. But,” and this with a noticeable tinge of sadness, “thar might be a few more cannels—just a few more cunnels—at the end of the cob"”— Chicago Cor. Louisville Courier-Journal.
