BACK ON THE FARM.
A HAPPY EX-POLITICIAN.
A wayfarer came across an ex-M.P. 011 his farm the other day. He extended liis sympathy over his recent defeat. "Don't worry," said the ex-politician, "I have never felt happier or freer in my life. I can now attend to my own affairs instead of the public's, and call my soul my own. This political game is a dog's life and I am pleased to be out of it. I never could have realised how sweet life can be working 011 one's own farm, doing what one wants to, and living a cafp-frce lifp. follies are thraldom, nothing else, and T nevef want to enter them again." And the wayfarer went on his way wondering what it was that kept men in politics with all their restrictions, ljardslnps nnd uncertainties.
