WHAT AN OLD FARMER SAYS.
old
for

fifty
experi-
This is the advice of an
who has tilled the soil
years:
1 am an old man, upwards of three"
score years, during two of which I
have been a tiller of the soil. I can
not say I am now, but I have been
rich; and still have all I need, do not
owe a dollar, have given my children a
good education, and when I am called
away will leave them enough to keep
he wolf from the door.—Mv
enee has taught me that:
1. One acre of land well prepared
and well cultivated produces more
than two, which receives only the
same amount of labor used on one.
2. One cow, hog. horse, mule or
sheep well fed, is more profitable than
two kept on the same amount neces
sary to keep one well.
3. One acre of clover or grass is
worth more than two of cotton where
no grass or clover is raised.
4. No farmer who buys oats, corn
or wheat, fodder and hay, as a rule,
for ten years, can keep the sheriff
from the door in the end.
5. The farmer who never reads the
newspapers andsneers at book farming
and improvements, always has a
leaky roof, poor stock, broken down
fences and complains of bad “sea
sons.”
0. The farmer who is above his
business and entrusts it to another to
manage, soon has no business to at
tend to.
7. The farmer whose habitual bev
erage is cold water is healthier, weal
thier and wiser than he who does not
refuse to drink.

but five hundred.”
Again he busied himself with his
pen.
“Suppose you would have paid it all
had vou not been disabled'/"
“I hoped to be able to do so, but
God in his all-wise providence has
seen fit to order things otherwise.
When will you offer this place for
sale/" The old man's voice was very
sad.
“It will not be necessary to offer it
publicly,” was the lawyer's low reply,
••for I have privately found a future
owner for the place and it is that
which has brought me here now.”
‘‘When doe -the come itno possession ?”
asked the old man. thinking more of
that than the price that had been
offered.
“I think he would like to come in- f ciation
to possession today,” writing bnsily
again. “I have brought all papers (
with me.” .
“Today, today? said the old man.

“It is the Lord's will, wife and we

way, sadly. “I have prayed long
and earnestly that he would provide
some way for us out of this great
trouble; but He knows best and He
will be with us even when we have to
leave the old home. 1 hope they
won't come to notify us today, the
New Year: and yet, I suppose we
might as well look this in the face
first as last.”
“O, Nathan,” said his wife, as she
fell on her knees beside the chair to
which for months he had been con
fined; “if you were well and strong
I should not mind it so much; but I
know how hard it will be for you, as
you are, to make another place seem
like home.”
“Wife.” said his companion, laying
his hand fondly on her head, “with
you by my side any place would seem
uke home. Do I not know how you
have struggled and toiled so that we
might stay here even until today?
Where should we have been now had
you not so bravely taken things into

render me so helpless, it cannot be.
and we must try to find something for

him of it to-day. Let us make this a
happy day for him, so that when we
are gone he may remember with plea-
-ure the last New Year's Day he ever
spent here.”
"Yes, Nathan. I’ve—”
“There wife, I see Lawyer Turner

best.”
"Nathan, I wish you would let
me stay and see the lawyer with
you.”
"No, no, wife; 1 can stand this bet
ter alone.”
His companion arose, pressed
her lips to his brow, and left the
room without a word. “Happy New
Year!” said the lawyer, as she met him
at the door. “Happy New Year!” he
repeated, as lie entered the room where
■ he invalid was awaiting him.
"Awkward,” hemuttered, as though
to himself. "It don't fseem right to

During this speech he had been

brought with him.
“I suppose you know what brings
me here, Mr. Holy way?” he added,
helping himself to a seat.
of the New Year,
over that paper?”
Nathan Holywav took the paper
handed him with trembling fingers,
for it was a shock to him to think of
passing oyer, that very day, the old
place to a stranger, but though his
eyes grew dim at first, he bravely
steadied himself until he could read
the words that would pierce his heart
like knives. A frightened look passed
over his face. A moment later he
handed the paper back, saying sadly:
“You have made a mistake and given
me the wrong paper.”
The lawyer looked at it a moment
and returning it said:
“No; if you examine it, you will
find it properly made out and signed.”
“But it is a release of the mortgage;
and it is no use when I have no money
to pay it.”
‘But suppose some one lias paid it :
for you.”
“There is no one to do that.”
On the contrary there is.: for it has
been paid and the release was made
out yesterday.”
“What does this mean?” asked the
old man excitedly.
“It means," was the reply, “that
your grandson, who is but a lad in
deed, has paid off the mortgage, and
he now sends his grandparent the re
lease as a New Year's offering!”
“Walter! Walter! How—’’
“Listen, Nathan Holyway! Two
years ago your grandson—he tells me
he is butjliirteen—came into my office.
He's a bright looking lad and I have
once or twice sent him on errands
and given him a trifle for it. It seems
now that for the past year he has
spent his holidays and all his spare
time in running errands and doing
qdd jobs for which he has received
small sums of money, all of which he
has carefully saved: so that when I :
opened the bag he brought me I
found these small sums had amounted
i until they made one hundred and
enty-five dollars and fifty cents.
He had heard, he said, that his grand
father must sell the farm unless he
could pay some money he owed be
fore the first of the year. He had
asked if what lie had given me Avas
enough to pay it, and I told him yes,
and that I would come down myself
and tell you about ir to-day.' 1
“But," began the old man in a faint
voice, and beginning to tremble a-
gain. “wait a moment; I have more to
say.” *
"Never mind where the rest of the
money came from. It has been paid.
What I have to say is this: I am gen
erally considered a hard and crusty
old bachelor. Perhaps I am: circum
stances may have conspired to make
me seem so: but I haA’e a vivid recol
lection of my younger days. I know
what it is to begin life with a dot

• know what it is to struggle against
adverse circumstances. 1 have seen
life in its hardest phases, and since I
have been what the world calls
wealthy I have been called stingy and
mean because I have refused to en- !
dow colleges and universities, to found
hospitals and pay off church debts*
But I have my own ideas about the
disposition of it. or at least I have
wished to use a portion of it hi saving
others from the struggles that beset
so many in early life. Your grandson
strikes me as one to whom I could
lend a helping hand, feeling confident
that I would not regret it in the fu
ture. With your cosent I will under
take to see that he is well educated;
will send him to college and give him
a start in life. As for you and your

“No, I am not prepared to pay.”
“Fity you have not got some friends
TO borrow the money from. Five
hundred is a small sum to give up
such a fine place for."
“I could not ask any one to lend me
money, when there would be no pros
pect of my ever being able to pay
back the loan.”
“Wise, very wise; but your grand
son might be able some day to pay it
for vou.”
“Walter is a lad,” was the reply,
“and it would be long ere he could do
it: nor would I be willing to burden
his voung mind with a heavy debt.
No,’the old place must go."
“And yet,” said the the lawyer,
writing on one of the papers he had
with him, “I am told it was for his fath
er to pavoff some of his debts that the
place was first mortgaged. 1 don’t see
when his conduct almost ruinep you,
why you took upon yourself the sup

* “That’s all a thing of the past now.

-True, the original mortgage was

"No. no,” was the reply; “call my

“Oh, Nathan, Nathan!" cried his
wife, when she had been summoned,
“what is it?”' And once more she fell
on her knees by his side.
“It is joy, wife joy! Tell her please.
I can’t; it chokes me.”
Once again the story was tokl what
a grandson's love had done; as he fin
ished the lawyer saw the tearful face
of a wife raised to that of her hus
band. There, as both heads were
bowed, he stood reverently by, for he
knew that prayers of thanksgiving
were ascending to the throne of grace,
Even when he elapsed their hands in
token of farewell, there were no
words spoken. Tlieir hearts were too
full for utterance. It remained for the
grandson, who came shyly in not long
afterwards, to bring them to a full
realization of the change in their pros
pects.
