Representative Tewksbury was on his fec in
an instant and, with emphatic wave Of his
glasses, asked that il be read a second time ~
he didn't know who this man Reed was. The
resolution was accordingly read for the eenile-
mans information. IL Was greeted in the nr-t
instance by a storm of misses and grosns from
the democratic side. which the republicans
drowned with laughter and cheers.
A number of amendments were proposed

THE FARMER KING OF PENNSYL-
WANNA.

Tie name of Colonel James Young
is familiar to every Que in this yinci-
nifty. He is president of the Amer.
lean Tube aud Iron works at Middle.
town, Dauphin county, and is inter-
ested in many other industrial enter.
prises, but his whole time and ener.
gies are devoted to the improve
ment and cultivation of his 1880
acres of land.
The thirteen farms have cost the
Colonel 100000 and in improving
them as much more. There is not a
square foot of woods or waste land
to be found IN all the 1880 acres.
This year he harvested 425 acres of
wheat and has 80 acres of CORP,
$50 acres in oats and 325 acres of
hay, 26 acres of potatoes, 10 acres of
orchards and $50 OF fine pasture land
into which be turns his Go head of
beautiful Jersey cows. These cows
furnish the milk for a dairy at Mid.
dletown which nets Mr.. Young the
snug sum Of $4,000 annually. Each
farm has its name. The farm build
lngs are among the finest in the
United States, and many travellers
along the Pennsylvania railroad
often take these farm buildings for
county institutions OF some kind.
Every building is painted with green
shutters, and cupola to cap
the whole. His hay barns are often
mistaken for churches, and more
than one visitor is amazed to learn
that the comfortable looking cottage,
with its glass windows and green
shutters was not the farm house, but
was the home of colony of Chester
White hogs Of all ages. The fences
are all post-and-rail of sawed lum.
Der, whitewashed, and the gates are
painted red. There are % miles,
which costs $3.50 to whitewash every
year. The fields average about 100
acres. Some fifty men are confirm
ally employed, all of whom Mr..
Young sees himself at least once a
day. Forty mules are kept to do the
work and six horses for driving.
This beautiful estate has been won
by Colonel Young through his own
energy. He is one Of the remarka-
BILE self made men Of this State. He
began life without cent, his father
having been landlord Of q small no.
tel at Middletown. General Simon
Cameron was for thirty years his
fast friend. The colonel is rather
eccentric and has taken an odd way
to insure that his memory don't per-
ish with him. The largest boulders
along the miles Of stone fences on
the farm have the initials 81. Y. "
carved deep in them.-Shippensburg

UNCHARITABLE CRITICIsM.-It
is so easy to criticise ones neightor
who has gone wrong in morals, or
made a failure in business, and so
hard to give him credit for the effect
of the influences impelling him to
disaster, over which he had no con
troll, that our criticism of others is
often very uncharitable. Men often
say how good they would have been,
or what success they would have ac-
complished, had they been in an
other mans place. They did not
stop TO ask why the fellow that was
in the others shoes did not succeed.
If they did they would often find
that the man who went wrong, or
failed, was entitled to great credit
for standing up so bravely under
forces and burdens that might east
ly have overthrowD his accusers.
Sometimes the man who fails is
a greater hero than another who
wins.

AN ENGINEERS PREsENTIMENT.

Charley jenkins was an engineer on
the b. q o. for years, and he had many
hairbreadth escapes. His run was be-
tween Garrett, Ind. and Chicago juno.
ton, o., and nearly everybody along the
route came to know him personally. His
friends could tell his engine every time
by the peculiar toot, and, whenever
the engineer was in sight, there would
be wave of the hand as recognition
of friendship. His engine the 720, was
the best on the division, and, if fast
run was to be made, Jenkins and the
100 were sure to be on the call board for
it.
One day the old engineer was taken i'll
and for weeks he fingered on his bed ,
when it seemed only thread held him
on to life. He was sadly missed along
the route, and the peculiar 3" foot y of
the whistle was heard no more, for
although 720 was kept running, there
were other hands at the throttle.
The crisis of his illness came. The
family surrounded his bed and watched
with breathless eagerness for any sign
of change.
The stiffness of the room was oppressive
Nothing could be heard save the regular,
heavy breathing of the sick engineer.
Suddenly he arose on his elbow, He
stared wildly around and his eyes looked
like madman's. Then he sat up in bed /,
clutched an imaginary sheet Of paper,
and gasped =
"Tiffin train five engine SEVENTEEN
ty prepare to meet thy God"
He sank back exhausted and fell into
a quiet, easy sleep. When he awoke he
was on fair way to recovery, but by
that time the news had reached the place
that terrible accident had happened,
that No. 8 had collided with freight /;
that engine 720 was wreck, and that
the engineer and fireman were dead.
Charley jenkins insists that he had a
presentiment from Heaven. From the
Cereldnd World.
