~ .S-'. EHlI.I ON !
Mr.. A. L. BEARD, whom eV-
cry body hereabouts knows as,
the popular and successful
manager of Hamden Furnace,
in remitting his subscripuon.
for the ensuing year, from, his
new home in Illinois, under,
date of 21st ult., concludes his
letter as follows: -
"You would probably ask
how We like the country. Hayt
ing been here now a few days
over one year, must say We
like it fully as we'll as we ex-
pected. Tne very best thing
about it is that 1t is quite a.
healthy neighborhood. My
family have not used ten cents
worth of medicine in the yearb
except bread and meat. u
have seen better soils, although
it is good here. We have good
water timber handy, plenty Of
good store OF different kinds
along the streams, which are
not far apart and supplies the
country tolerably we'll with
water. The soil produces ev-l
erything that is raised in Ohio;
some things better than others.
So orfruit, apples take theleads
but peaches, pears, cherries and
grapes do well. 1t is generally
believed in OHIO that the
grasses do not do we'll in H.
linois, that Timothy grows very
coarse, and that it will last but
three or four years. This is a
mistake. / have just been hav-
ing twenty-five acres OF mead
ow broken up that was sown in
Timothy in the fall Of 1888, and
has been moved once a year
for thirty.two years. | break
it now because it is very much
sod bound aud has too much
blue grass. Glover does we'll,
but redtop does not do so we'll
as it does in Vinton county.
The farming operations are toll.
erable we'll divided between
grain growing, stock raising
and stall feeding. AS for mer!
chandising the trade is rather
overdone, but grain and stock
traders are doing we'll. There
is good opening for millers,
or wool carders here; for there
are no good mills near here,
and those that are take large
tolls and charge high prices.
We had quite a dry summer,
very nice winter and early
spring. A little corn has been
planted this week; grassls very
fine; wheat never looked bet,
ter; trult trees are in full bloom.

under the mortgage he was
about to foreclose-never was a
poor sinner more unawares.-
The black man whiskad him
him like a child astride the
horse, and away he galloped in
the midst Of thunder storm.
The clerks stuck their pens be-
hind their ears and stared af-
ter him from The windows
Away went Tom Walker, dash
ing down the streets, his white
cap bobbing up and down, his
morning gown futtering in the
wind, and his steed striking fire
out of the pavement at every
bound. When the clerks turn
ed to look, the black man had
disappeared. Co.,. lu
Tom Walker never returned
to foreclose the mortgage. A
countryman who lived near
The swamp reported that in the
height of the thunder gust he
had heard a great clatterlng
of hools and bowling along the
road, and that when he ran to
the window he just caught
sight OF a figure such as | have
described, Oh a horse that gall
loped like mad across the fields,
over the hills, and down into
the black hemlock swamps to-
ward the old Indian fort, and
that shortly alter thunder

which seemed TO set the whole

tees were appointed to take
charge of Toms effects. There
was nothing, how ever, to ad-
minister upon. On searching
the Golfers, all his bonds and
mortgages were found reduced
to cinders. In place of gold
and silver, his iron chest was
filled with chips and shayings,
two skeletons lay in his stable
instead of his half starved
horses, and The very next day
his great house took fire and
was burned to the ground.
Such was the end of Tom
Walker and his ill,gotten
wealth. Let all gripping money
brokers lay the story well to
heart. The truth is not to be
doubted. The very hole under
the oak tree, from whence he
dug Kidd's money, is to be
seen to this day, and the neigh.

dian fort are often haunted in
stormy nights by a figure on
horseback, in a morning gown
and white cap, which is doubt.

resolved itself into a proverb,

THE DEVIL AND TOM
WALKER.
A Story of the Last Century.
BY WASHINGTON IRVING.

AS Tom waxed old, however,
he grew thoughtful. Having
secured the good things Of this
world, he began TO feel anxious
about the next. He thought
with regret on the bargain he
had made with his black friend
and put his wits to work to
cheat him out of his condl.
tlOns. He became, therefore,
all of a sudden a violent church
goer. lie prayed loudly and
strenuously, as if heaven were
to be carried by force of lungs.
Indeed, one might always tell
| when he had sinned most dur,
ing the week by the clamor OF
his Sunday devotion! The quiet
Christians who have been mod

onward were struck with self.
reproach at seeing themselves
so suddenly outstripped in
their career by this new made
convert Tom was as rigid in
religion as in money matters;
he was stern supervisor and
censurer of his neighbor, and
seemed to think every sin en-
tered up TO their account be-
came a credit onshis page. He
even talked Of the expediency
of revivlng the persecution Of
the Quakers and Anabaplists.
In word, Toms zeal became
as-his riches.al aNcr o0g
Sull, in spite of his strenu-
ous attention to forms, Tom
had a lurking dread that the

ken unawares, therefore, 1t is
said he always carried small

had a great folio Bible in his
counting>house desk and would
frequently be found reading
when people called on bust
ness; on such occasions he
would lay his green spectacles
on The look to mark the place
while he turned around to drive
some usurous bargain. 81,
Some say Tom grew a little
cracked Drained in his older
days and that, fancying his end
approaching, he had his horse
new shod, saddled and bridled,
and buried with his feet upper
most, because that, at the last
day, the world would be turn>
ed upside down, in which case
he would find his horse ready
for mounting and he was de-
termined at the worst to give
his friend a run for it. This,
however, is probably a mere
old wile's fable. If he really
did take that precaution, 1t
was totally superfluous-at,
least, 50 says the authentic old
legend which closes his story
IN the following manner:
One hot afternoon in the
dog days, just as a terrible
black thunder gust came up,
Tom sat in his cap and India
silk morning gown. He was
on the point Of forecloseing a
mortgage, by which he would
complete the ruin of an unhap-
py speculation tor whom he
protessed the greatest friend |
ship. The poor land-jobber
begged him TO- grant a few
months indulgence. Tom had
grown testy and irritated, and
refused another day.
