TWO WAYS TO MAKE MONEY.
A PRACTICAL STORY For FARMERS.

conr,aing the real Names of the parties con-
ccrntd md as the story bears its own
roral we will not tire with any reflections.
John Poland and Arson Lyman bought
farms adjoining each other The land had
formerly been owned by one man, who lad
carried IN the whole. employing heavy
force in the work When the two friends
Bought the land it was as equally divided as
possible ard after the line Of separation had
been run, those who had worked much on
the land declared that they would not give
the toss Of "A COPPER for choice between
the two farms. The old buildings were
almost useless, so n,w unts were rectcd.
and at the Same time both NON commenced
farming in earnest. They We're poor, having
paid their last pennies for the farms, and be
ing Obliged to run son in debt to get stock
and tools.
In all respects the two men commenced
evenly. They were both married, and while
Poland had one son and two daug htciS,
Lyman had one daughter aud TWO sons.
'Iook ye," said Lyman, as they sat togeth'

money is not The first consideration "
What is the reason it isn't!' asked
Lyman.
If YOU have money you can have every
thing. Money is the KEY that unockS all
doors-the card that admits you to all places.

and the bargain was made. The animals
were brought home, and Poland was not DIS
appointed IN his purchase.
"Phtw' brokr from Lyman's lips, as he
heard the price which his n,ighLor had paid
for the new stock. Two hundred dollars for
