Two Men.

knew two neighbers. old Calfor-
mans, who had about equal fortunes.
They were both old settlers, both rich
and both much respected. In that
fearful year, 1852, when the dying
and destitute immigrants literally
crawled OH hands and knees over the
Sierra, trying to reach the settlements,
one of these men drove all of his cat
tie up to the mountains, butchered
them and fed the starving, He had
his Mexicans pack all the mules
with flour, which at that time cost
almost its weight in gold. and push
on night and day over the mountains
to meet the strangers there and feed
them, so that they might have
strength to reach his ranch, where
they could have shelter and rest.
The other man, cold and cautious,
saw his opportunity and embraced it..
He sat at home and sold all his wheat
and mules and meat, and with the
vast opportunities for turning money
to account in that new country, soon
became almost prince in fortune.
But his generous neighbor died a
beggar in Idaho, where he had gone
to try to make another fortune. He
literally had not money enough to
buy shroud and as he died among
strangers by the roadside, he was
buried without even as much as a
pine board coffin. I saw his grave
there only last year. Some one had
set up a rough granite stone at the
head. And that is all. No name
not even a letter or date. Nothing.
But that boulder was fashioned by
the hand of Almighty God, and in
the little seems and dots and messy
scars that cover it, we can read the
rubric thai chronicles the secret Yir-
tues of this lone dead man on the
snowny mountains of Idaho.
The children of the prince" are
in Paris. Upheld by his colossal
wealth, their lives seem to embrace
the universal world. He is my friend.
He buys all my books and reads every
line 1 write. When he comes to this
sketch he will understand it. And
he ought to understand, too. that all
the respect, admiration and love
which the new land once gave these
two men, gathers around and is bur.
led beneath that mOss.groWn granite
stone and that know, even with
all his show of splendor, that his
heart is as cold and empty as that

A WILD MAN AT Walk.
er county, Georgia, in the vicinity of
Chattanooga, and as far south as
Pond Springs, is all torn up over the
temperance of the celebrated wild
man of Lookout. He was seen a
few days ago, and if descriptions are
correct he is a most remarkable lie.
ing. His hair and beard are describ.
ed as flowing to the waist, his finger
and toe nails are long, giving the
hands and feet the resemblance of
claws. He wears trunks of bear
skin. with bearskIn robe thrown
over his shoulders. He carries an
ugly bludgeon, and persistently
avoids coming in contact with any.
body. The tlmid people of the neigh.
borhood are greatly alarmed. and
there is little travelling about at
night, though he is generally believ.
ed to be harmless. This strange crea-
lure has been haunting the caves and
Businesses of Lookout mountain and
elevations in lower East Tennessee
for years, and nothing is known of
his indemnity. He has never been
known to do anybody any harm and
there has been no occasion for his ar.
rest, so he has been allowed to pur-
sue his strange lunacy unmolested.
He is said now to occupy a cave near
Pond Spring, Ga, but heretofore
when his place of temporary abode
has been discovered he has disap-
peared to be seen at other points at
considerable distance away.

Agricultural MULTIPLICATION.

We have always held that many
farmers are land poor, that they
would make more money if they had
less land that the thorough cultiva-
ton of small farm would produce
better results than large farm poor
~ cultivated. These truths are point
eddy enforced by a short dialogue in
the Western PoWnaan. The conyer-
sation runs thus
"How many acres of land have
you ?"
zone hundred"
"Then you have bought some
more ; you had only twenty"
mo. 1 haven't bought any. I
haven't had any given to me. l
haven't rented any. Still 1 claim
that have one hundred acres"
"How do you make it out ?"
"Just this way. l plowed it thor.
oughly.utllizing every foot fground,
making on an average one acre equal
to two. That gave me forty acres"
"Just so..'
II then fertilized the land 50 that
one acre produced as much as three
did before. That made me twenty
acres more, making the total sixty"
II see."
"Then I practiced persistent culti-
walton, which 1 can prove will
double the yield of an acre. Twenty
acres more, you see, which makes me
eighty"
Eyes, and now for the other twen-
IT,"
"The other twenty 1 got by only
using the best of seed and by putting
brains and system into my work.
And to prove that my farm contains
100 acres 1 am willing to compare re-
suits with the average 100 acres any,
where in this section of country.
Fittings equal to the same things
are equal to each other, you know"
