farming Does Pay

Galen Wilson says 10 the New York Tri'
buue that be travelled several miles to Sc,
a successful farmer Il one that made farm
ing pay. This farmer ran in debt for 4
poor, Rundown farm and succeeded 10 pay
ing for it and lettering his condition out
of the products OF the farm. He said he
did it by persistent effort and breeding NJ
his stock especially the latter he used
only thorough bred males, and before be
could buy, he hired their services. The
result is that "his scrub horses have been
bred up from those OF 800 in value &c
$500 Percherons; his cows now make 3OC
pounds OF butter year instead OF 100, h's
sheep shear pounds 10 place OF 4 f; his pig'
weigh as much at eight months as they
did at eighteen; and his fowls weigh 0
pounds instead Of 8, aud lay much larger
eggs aud just as many Of them" Now
this is common sense farming, and nc
other will pay. 1t is also scientific farm
ing. But there is nothing 80 difficult
about it that every farmer OF ordinary in
tellect caunot do it. The road OF progress
is free to all.

Fixed Mark.

"Mark Twain"-Samuel l.. Clements
while breakfasting with friend little
time back, told an amusing story at his
own expense which is too good to be lost.
There had been some talk at table about
Gen. Grants banquet, when Mr.. Clements
remarked, with a smile and his peculiar
drawl, "Speakingof banQuets reminds me
of rather all amusing incident that occurred
to me during my stop in smoky, dirty,
grand old London. 1 received an invita-
ton to attend banquet there, and went.
1t was one of those tremendous dinners
where there are eight hundred to nine
hundred invited guests. l hadn't been
used to that sort Of thing, aud didn't feel
quite at home. When we took our seats
ut the tables, l noticed that at each plate
was a little plan of the hall, with the
position of each guest numbered, so that
one could see at glance where friend
was seated by learning the number. Just
before we fell to, some one-the Lord
Mayor, or whoever was bossing the occasion
arose and began to read list of those
present-No. l, Lord SO-and.so; No. 2, the
Duke of Something or other, and so on.
When this individual read the name Of
some prominent political character or
literary celebrity, it would be greeted with
HloIc VI lcss applauSc' ue luulNluudl
who was reading the names did so in so
mOnotOnOus manner that became tired,
aud began looking ABOUT for something to
engage my attention. | found the gentle
man next tome on the right a well-informed
parsonage, and entered into conversation
with him. l had never seen him before,
but he was a good talker and enjoyed it.
Suddenly, just rs he was giving his views
upon the future religious aspect of Great
Britain, our ears were assailed by deaf
ening storm of applause. Such u clapping
of hands never heard before. 1t sent the
blood into my head with a rush, and got
terribly excited. L Strengthened up and
commenced clapping my hands with all
my might. | moved about in my chair
and clapped harder and harder. WHO
is it?' 1 asked the gentleman Oh my right.
Whose name did he read:' Samuel l..
Clements he answered. l stopped ap-
plauding. | didn't clap any more. 1t
kind of took the life out Of me, and sat
there like Il mummy, and didn't even get
up and bow. 1t was one of the most
distressing fixes l ever got into, and it
will be many day before forget it,"

san? Was lie sayed!"
"He got TO shorep dozen voices cried
aloud. He drifted down the current, and
got to shore and galloped away. It's true,
Sir Philip
"Heaven be praisedv'
That was all he said, but it came in a
deep sob from the depths of his soul. 1t
would have been bitter drop in his cup
of happiness if the brave horse had persisted
that night.
1t was the Grange carriage that stood
in the road, and as Darrell carried lima
towards it, one of his servants told him
that all was in readiness at that place.
Miss Durnford had "borme up splendidly"
when she heard that Miss lima was i'm
prisoned in the Mill and Sir Philip was gone
to save her. The man had brought q
change of raiment from the Court for his
master, and even now u messenger had
ridden forward to tell the joyful news.
"Drive for your lite" was DarrelPs
order to the coachman as he entered the
carriage.
And away, followed by the shrieking,
rejoicing crowd, sped the carriage to
Scarth Abbot. lima Jay motionless on her
lovers breast. The tension was over; the
noble, fearless spirit had borne up while
death and life hung in the balance; but
now it was past-all the dread, the anguish,
the awful suspence-and the oyer-wrought
system gave way in the deep swoon Of
sheer exhaustion.

was slowly trickling. Roland tried to
speak
Hlma-Dark Darrell-the curse"
"They are saved" said the doctor, his
voice trembling with emotion" Sir Philip
saved her. They are at the Grange"
A sharp spasm contracted the dying
mans livid features. He tried to speak
again, and in the effort rush of blood
stopped speech and life at once, At the
same moment Mrs. Sabine and her two
daughters fastened breathlessly through
the crowd.
.Keep her backw cried the doctor,
hastily drawing a mantle over the crushed
form. "This is no sight for his mother"
A great fragment of the Mill had been
washed ashore nearly a mile down the
river, and man was seen clinging to 1t.
Sir Philip DarrelPs groom and another had
ridden into the water and rescued the
hapless creature-Roland Sabine-and the
groom then rode OH to the Grange to tell
his master what had happened.
At one o'clock in the morning the village
was still astir, and hardly house was
closed. Another servant from the Court
rode into Scarth Abbot and up to the
Grange with the joyful news that Hassan
had galloped into the courtyard half an
hour before. The animal must have gone
miles down the river before he could find
bridge, for that below the Mill had been
washed away by the flood, and he had
made his way unerringly to his home.
An hour later Sir Philip himself went
out to see what damage had been done,
and to ascertain if any lives besides those
he already knew Of had been lost, and
especially to make inquiry about Zeph.
"She was one of them that stood by
when we got the Squire ashore" said an
old farmer. sI didn't see her after that,
Sir Philip"
One or two others thought she had been
outside the inn when the unhappy man
was laid on his bier within. All doubt
however was set at rest three days later,
when Zeph's body was cast ashore ten
miles below Scarth Abbot. The poor girl
had evidently flung herself into the river;
and with her persisted the last Of the ten
ants of the Weir Mill.
The yiolets were blooming along the
banks of the Coalmere when lima Costello
| became Dark Darrelps bride; and now
| the vacant place beside the portrait Of the
last Darrell is filled by the picture of la
dy with golden hair ana Soft dark eyes,
and there are gay dOings at the Court, and
old Marsh's heart rejoices. But people
| cannot call the handsome Sir Philip the
last of his race any longer; for winsome
lad not three years old, with the true
Darrell beauty, is laughing gleefully in
the sunshine while riding round the court
| yard on Hassan's back. The noble animal
seems proud of his tiny burden, as If he
knew that he was carrying the heir of an
ancient race and his loved masters son;
and the golden-haired mother looks on
smiling. She has no fear for the little one;
| for her husbands hand is OH the child, and
| Hassan walks as gently as a lamb.
When he is older, Philip DarrelPs heir
will learn the story of "THE GIPsY'S
| CURSE" and how his fathers great love
redeemed it on that awful night"
