Such was the prospectus issued by my
friend Mr.. Homespun. Feeling q lively
interest in his welfare, 4 visited his FARM
although it was long journey from my
home, and was pleased to find deverylhing
in.nice order. He informed me that he;
had contracted large dpbt IN the pnr- !.
chase of the premises, stock and imple-
ments Of husbandry, but thstEhe hads no !;
doubt of his ability to discharge every
obligation in few years. he also stated
that he had already received many hun
dred subscribers, and that in fpuror FIVE )
weeks he would commence The delivery
Of the wheat according TO his; proposals. Z
The scheme appeared plansable; and
my friend was SO confident of shis success.
that had not the slightest doubt Of his,
prosperity. Il enteredmy name asa siib- J;
scriber, and whenI left him he was pre-
pairing many thousand quar-, sacks.

so extensively .palronized as he is, the

would be but a drop in The bucket. 1t

The notice, however became more fre-
quenl; and having leisure, i concladed I
would visit my friend, s:the propfietor of
the Granary. He greeted me cordially
but I saw there had been trouble. he !.
was evidently worn with toll and anxiety;
and in the conversation Of the evening"
he entered into particulars.

almost night for two years; andsl am more

"Yes, a very large list was the reply,
"but too many Of them are like you!' -
"Me", Iquickly rejoined in amazement;;
TOO many like mel" 80
"Pardon me-" said my friend, in me-
lancholy tone-"pardonsme for oppression
