At his feet are farm animals milling around, including a horse, two pigs, ducks and chickens. A basket of potatoes rests on the ground, surrounded by loose apples. In the background on the left side of the page is the capital building with Uncle Sam standing on the portico, and a farm homestead on the right of the page]

Never lays aside the hoe-always chores to do, you know; Loves to dig and dig and dig; always up against it. big; Hates the "clash of rude alarm;" rather work upon the farm. Simple life! Well! that's the fun: over there, in Washington.
