Slightly Selfish.—A Scotch farmer was greatly exercised regarding the safety of his hay crop. The weather, though often threatening favored his efforts till he succeeded in getting it safely gathered in, being in this respect more fortunate than several of his neighbors. After seeing the last wisp of straw tied round his stacks he exclaimed, with a self-satisfied air, 4 Noo, sin’ I hae gotten my hay a’ safely in, I think the warld would be greatly the better o’ a guid shower.”
