THE  BOY THAT WENT TO COLLEGE.
Every acre -we had mortgaged,
"When we hoped for better days.
In  our lofty aspirations
After more aesthetic ways.
Till  our farm  was   over-burdened,
And  disaster loomed apace—
But we sent a hoy to college.
And 'twas that that saved the place.
We  had  filled  him  with  the wisdom
That our fathers handed down,
With the  rural dispensations
That   are  rife to  every  town;
But We more than half suspected
That our modes,  antique and gray,
Were   exceedingly  tads-numbered—
So we sent our boy away.
In  the  school of agriculture
Learned  he  new  and  better ways.
Weighed  he  all the  trusted  precepts
We inherit from old days.
Sifted out the  chaff and  cockle
From the body of the grain.
Till  he saw for future  mowing
Only perfect seed remain.
Then  our farmers saw what science
And a fertile brain c^n do
When our boy came home from college
Filled with aspirations new;
For our fields grew somehow fairer,
And our trees in fruitfulness
Bent beneath their heavy burdens—
And our debts grew ever .less.
We  have  other boys  true-hearted,
Just  as brave and  strong as he,
Always  dreaming of and planning
For the work that is to be.
Always using brain with muscle,
Not a whit behind in grace-
But the boy that went to college
Was the boy that saved the place.
—H. F.  Thurston.
