WHAT AN OLD FARMER SAYS. old for mau 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. have paid all two thousand, and you 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. starting The Old Colony Railroad of Massa chusetts is said to have more pension ers on its pay rolls than has any road in the country.

If he is disabled for life, he receives just the same pay he was getting at the time of the accident, so long as he lives.

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 your hands? I feel badly about Wai ter, for I had hoped to givehiui a good education; but God has seen fit to render me so helpless, it cannot be. and we must try to find something for . him to do. But, wife, we will not tell 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 coming up the lane. You had better go now.. I did hope that they would let us feel that the old place still be longs to us to-day; hut God knows 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 .urn him out of doors, as you might SilV. During this speech he had been fumbling* over a bag of papers he had 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 and weight dragging me down; I • 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.

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 port of his child.” * “That’s all a thing of the past now.

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. On Your Table?
