1t is often said that farming don't
pay What, then, will paya That's
the question. Farming is the basis Of
all bus ness, and therefore it must paw.
If farming don't pay some one individ-
uaI, or some class of individuals, it is
because they are at fault-not their
business. We should DO "head work
as well rs .'hand work." Individually,
or even directly, you may do this in get
ting ready for the Fair. We may begin
on a small scale. and then by following
up the advantage gained, we may learn
70 make farming profitable. Attend the
Fair.

CHAPTER IV.-InG BARNc0TE BAN

CHAPTER W-IHE BARNcOIE BANK IN 1857
The announcement of he Bamcoto public ball for Newyears Eve
had appeared for several weeks in the Buncoe Herald, with a long list
of stewards and lady patrOnosses, low down ON watch, as beseemed their
mere local position, stood the names of Alderman Tom and Mrs. Bellamy.
Toms thoughts were not, however, On balls, as he stood at the tall desk
in the brewery comtnghouse, which looked out into the brewergyard.
lie held in his hand q sheet of figures. 1t was Toms profit and loss &C
count for the year just ending, and it wasn't an unsatisfactory one 1t
Showed in round numbers a profit Of two thousand five hundred pounds;
and Toms drawing had only been one thousand two hundred pounds.
Tom called his manager into the cOmtng-hOuse, and showed him the
balmcesheet. Very satisfactory indeed, sir said Mr.. BirEs, who, from
much porng over watts and inhalation Of Worry wapOurs, was rather husky
in the throat.
I'm greatly indebted to you, Brbs, for the way you We worked for
me. I've signed a cheque for your salary and the wages. we great
pleasure in giving you this cheque for fifty pounds, as anew-years present
/ shmt be here tomorrow, Br6, as m going to Lufhaven to collect.
and can't be back till late at night. So III wish you a happy new year,
Birks; and goodbye, and God bless you!
Birks was embarrassed by the warmth of his masters manner and
the Iargeness of his Gift. A five pound note was about the figure he
usually had. Fifty pounds Frks salary was ten pounds a month, and
when it came, it was usually forestaIled; and there were also numerous
little scores against him, which were troubling his mind, this festive
Christmas tide. Indeed, Mr.. par5ns, the draper, had been very sharp
with him about a small account which he owed for mourning, for a little
boy who had died two years ago; and ParEins had threatened to complain
10 his master of his dishonesty in not paying his bills. Poor Birks had
fmded that he had seen Parkins walking up with Mr. Tom, and he INA
oined the summons to the cOuntnghOuse was a prelude to Instant dis
miSSal
, 1870-03-22

Fifty pounds was to Bhks salvation: it would pay off his old scores,
it would start him afesh, it would make q man of him.@ But he couldn't
thank his master for 1.-THE words stuck in his throat: they couldn't
struggle through the deposits of the watts. His master smiled andnodded.
and passed out. Bhks followed him to the door, and watched him down
the street
Hes just the kndest, t]houghtfdIest soul is the young master; but,
dear me, how he be aged the last few Yeas surey|
Toms face was not that of q youngster as he entered the private
parIour Of Brkn's bank. Arthur Brkm rose and shook him cody by
the hand, and then took his stand with his back to the fire. He was a
short dark neat little man, excessively ceanIoolng, dressed quietly and
plainly, as became banker, but with a little touch of the country squire
breaking out in his blue brdseyo scar, his roomy shooting-coat, and we'll
shaped ridngtrouseS.
After a little chat about the weather, the last run with the East
Wessex hounds, and the town drains, Arthur, without cmcumloeuHon,
went to the pupOrt of their interview.
I sent for you, BeIamy, TO tell you we must have our advances
repaid. gave you a hint of the sort a few days ago, and l find that it
is now absolutely necessary
[ don't suppose that the bird fairly caught and fuHerng in the paws
of the cat. its captOr, suffers much terror and agony of mind: the thing is
over; a sort Of tatuOus wonder as to how it will feel whilst its bones are
being crmched, and a stupid amazement at being in such a plight are in
its mind; it recks not of its modest mate, the peaceful nest, the caIloW
brood. So with Tom; he had discounted his troubles; he felt supefed,
that was all The long, long while he had suffered, the trouble he. had
had, seemed to surge into his head, and prevented him from thinking.
Only one thing could he hold on to, that he must shew no change to that
backwhBkered face with the dartgray eyes, and wide mouth, and white
teeth he must hold on to that face and not let himself 60. He sat down
on the bankers table, and taking up some pens, began sticking them,
jayeln fashion, into the leather cover. 1t was an old trick Ofhis boy-hOod.

The French armies of the Loire under

to-day for the purpose of hearing an srgu-
ment from Mr.. Hubbard, of Boston, in reply
to the speech OF Gen. Wsshburne, in favor
of the Postal Telegraph bill. Mr..
Hubbard has o scheme of his
own which is for the Government to build
an opposition line to that of the Western
Unionand other ompanies. He travelled over
the same ground to-day that he did last winter:
he came TO the same conclusions, viz : Thai
ell other schemes besides his own, are
unwise and impracticable.
Mr.. Wsshburn the Chairman of the Com
mittee, viii probably make reply to Mr.
Hubbard.
The hostile attitude which the House
maintains against land Jobs, does not appear
to discourage friends of such schemes.
In the Senate yesterday, four new railroad
land grant bills was introduced in that body,
proposing to subsidy roads in Alabama,
Louisiana, Texas, Wisconsin and California.
These bills will doubt

sion OF the Republican party had ended, and
remarked that the recent democratic chan
ges in opposition demonstrated that a ne
phase of political developement was upor
as. The exhaustion Of old issues, snC
growing classification and insubordinstioI
within great parties, we're c0nhrmatory evi
dences, while, on the other hand, the ques
tions of Revenue Reform, Civil Service Re

the whole, while the prospect of q new part,
might at present appear obscure, yet il
would come with the necessity of a nationa

Mr.. Schurz closed with the expression ol
his confidence in the ability of the republi
can party to become that new party, claim
ing for it the possession of elements of q
healthy regeneration.
Mr.. Drake rose to reply but yielded to q

notice that to morrow he would reply to hii
colleagues speech at length.

HoUsE.-Several bills were introduced
and appropriately referred. after which the
House resumed consideration of the amnes
ty bill.
Mr.. Barry argued against the exceptions
contained in the bill and in favor Of gene
eral aud unconditional amnesty.
Mr.. Folgar argued on the same side.
Mr.. Mackenzie argued that Congress
ought to pass general amnesty bill with
out any exceptions and let the coxnsry
have peace.
Mr.. Farnsworth stated to the House thai
the bill reported was not unanimous report
of the committe on re-construction, or even
a msjority of the committee II was simply
permitted to be reported to the House. Mr.
Fsrnsworth denounced the bill As not being
what the people all over the country expect
ed or desired. Instead of being a bill to
quiet suits in the south it was q bill tc
foster and revive suits now dead.
Mr.. Lawrence opposed the bill as too lib
eral
Mr.. Syphers advocated universal suffrage,
declaring that the Republican party oi
Louisiana stood squarely on that platform,
The worst men in the South were those re.
lisved of political disabilities, because they
were men willing to commit perjury in order
to hold office.
The debate finally closed for the day, and
tomorrow being private bill day, and the
House agreeing not to hold . session on
