A TALE WUICU EVERY PERSON WILL READ
.WIS. Ctn'l Supi,
“ Whoso readotb, let him understand ”
Jonathan Hardwork, having purchased
an extensive farm, and haying provided
himself with every thing requisite to
prosperous husbandry, -proposes to fur
nish subscribers with one quart of wheat
weekly, at the low price of two dollars iu
advance; at two dollars and filly cents if
paid after six^wceks.
The facilities afforded by the govern
ment for the transportation of wheat to
every section of the country and adjacent
provinces are svoh as.must prove satisfac
tory to every subscriber; and the.proprie
tor of the Granary assures all who may
patronize him that he will exert himself
to supply an article of the first quality.
N. B. —Agents will bo hllowed a gener
ous per centage.
Address (post paid) proprietor of the
Granary, Hopewell.
Such was the prospectus issued by my
friend, Mr. Hardwork. Feeling a lively
interest in his welfare, I visited his farm,
although it was a Jong journey from my
home, and was pleased to find everything
in nice order. Ho informed me that be
had contracted a large debt iu the purchase
of the premises, stock and implements of
husbandry, but that he had no doubt of
his ability to discharge every obligation
in a few .years. He also stated that he
had already received many hundred sub
scribers, and that in four or five Weeks ho
would commence the delivery of the wheat
according to proposal.
The scheme appeared plausible, and my
friend was so confident of success that. I
had not the slightest doubt of his prosper
ity. I entered my name as a subscriber,
and when I left him be was preparing
many thonsand quart sacks.
Every week for the space of two years
I received my quart of wheat, and con*
eluded) fnqu its ; excellent quality and
prompt delivery that everything was pros
perous with Jonathan Hardwork and his
farm.' So I gave inyselfpo concern about
my .indebtedness to him, for, said I, to a
farmer so extensively patronized as he is,
the small pittance of two years arrearages
would he bat a drop in the bucket. Xt Is
true there was occasionally printed on the
sacks a general notice to delinquents; but;
I never suspected this was intended for his
friends.
This notice, however, became tuore fie*
quent; and having leisure, I concluded I
would visit iny fHchd, the -proprietor of
the Granary. He grectedmc oodially, but
I saw that there had been trouble. He

THE GRANARY.
BY REV. A. C. THOMAS
was evidently worn with toil andanziety,
and in the conversation of the evening he
entered into particulars.
“Here I have been laboring day and al
most night for two years, and am more in:
debt now than when 1 began. My credi
tors are pressing for payment; l am con
scious of inability to meet their demands,;
and can' perceive no result but bankruptcy,
and ruin.”
“-But have you not a Urge list of sub
scribers,” said I.
“ Yes, a very large list,” was,the reply
“ but too many of them are' like you 1”
“=Me 1” I quickly replied, in amaze-,
meet; “top many like me?”
“ Pardon me,” said my friend in a mel
ancholy tone j “ pardon me, for oppression,
will make even a wise man-mad; you have
had a quart of wheat for two years, and I
have not hud a cent ,pf payment. I have
a large list of the same kindvof patrons,
scattered here and there over thousands
of miles j if they would pay me the trifles
they severally owe, I should bo directly
freed from embarrassment, and gOon my
way rejoicing. But they reason as you
reasoned; and among you lam brought
to the door of poverty and ruin.”
I felt the full force of the rebuke, and
paid promptly, arrearages at the increased
prices named in the prospectus, and also
a year in advance. I bid adieu to the
worthy and wronged farmer, and resolved
to do everything in my power to repair
the injury which had accrued from my
delinquency.
0, ye patrons of Jonathan Hardwork !
—wherever ye are, or whoever ye are! —-
Ye have received and eaten the wheat
from liis Granary, without making pay
ment! Y"o are guilty of a grievous sin
of omission. Therefore repent!—pay the
farmer what-you owe him ! Uncle Sam’s
teamsters bring you the sacks of grain ev
ery week, and Uncle Sam’s teamsters will
carry the money safely to Jonathan Hard
work.
A THRILLING PROPHECY.
In last February Alabama seceded.—
That brave man, Senator Clemens, who
had until then breasted all the storms of
wild fanaticism and clung to the flag of
our Union, yielded to the popular clamor
and unsheathed big sword in the cause he
hated, and one he knew could not suc
ceed. He wrote the following to a friend.
“ We are out; we have bid adieu to the
Stars and Stripe?, and abandoned the
hinli privilege of calling ourselves Ameri
can citizens. lam not ashamed to con
fess that I could not restrain my tears
when the old banner, which I have fol
lowed through so many dangers, was torn
down and the flag of Alabama was raised
ia : its place. 1 cannot restrain them now
when lam writing; but the deed is done
—a new era has dawned, and all that I
can promise is’ that no effort shall be
spared on my part to prevent it from be
coming an era of disgrace. If wc are not
involved in a war we soon will be. There
is no hope of peace; and he is but little
better than a madman who dreams of long
exemption drom invasion. I shall meet it
when it comes as a soldier should, and
fiirht through it as long as hope remains.
When everything is lost, as I fear it may
be, unless wiser counsels should prevail
than those which have heretofore directed
us, I shall drug my body to the nearest
battle field and lay down a life which has
lost its value.”
How swiftly has this prediction been
verified. Ere the echo of his voice,
pleading to the fanatics to “ stop,” had
died away, the cry ran out “ to arms.” A
State then prosperous is now bankrupt,
and all the horrors of war are upon them.

itants ofa country. The proportion be
tween. deaths of women and those of men
is 100 to 108. The probable deration of
female lives is sixty ; but after that period
the calculation is more favorable to them
than men. One half of those who are
born die before they reach the age of 7-
Among 1,826 Who die, it appears by the

In a recent hook of travels in Ceylon,
the following ineideat is related:—We
visited the estate of an Englishman
named Lindsay, situated about twelve i
miles from Kegombo. A rogue elephant
, considerable injury to the estate at
that ttmepand one day hearing that It
was then on the.plantation, Mr. Lindsay
and myself, accompanied by seven or eight
people of the neighboring village, went|
out to hunt the animal, carrying with ns
six rifles loaded; and primed. We con
tinued to walk along a; path' which, near
one of its tarns, had sdthe bushes bn one
side. We had calculated to come up.
with the: brute‘where it hud. been aeon
half an hour before; but no sooner had
one of our men, who was walking.fore
most, seen the animal, at the distance of
some fifteen or twenty fathoms, then he
exclaimed, “ there! there!’’ and immedi
ately took to his heels, and we all followed
his example. The elephant did not-see
us until we had run some fifteen or twenty
paces from the spot where we turned,
when he gave us chase, screaming fright
fully as he came on- Lindsay managed
to climb a tree, and the rest did the same,
as fur myself I could nor, although I made
one or two superhuman efforts. But
tiiere was no time to be lost; "the ele
phant was running at me with his trunk
bent down in a curve towards the ground.
At this critical mpmenf Mr. Lindsay held
out his foot to me, with the help of which
and then of the branches of the tree,
which were three or four feet above my
head, I managed to scramble, up tb a
branch. The elephant came directly to
the tree, and attempted to force it down,,
which be could not. He first coiled his
trunk round the stem,and pulled it with
all his might, but with no effect. He
tiicn applied bis head to the tree, and
pushed it for several minutes, but with
ho better success. He then trampled
with his feet all the projecting .roots,
moving, as ho did so, several times rouo.d
and round tbb tree. Lastly, failing in all
tliis, and seeing a pile of timber, which 1.
had lately cut, at a short distance from ns,
he removed it all, (thirty-six pieces,) one
at a time to the rout pf the tree, and piled,
them up in a regular business-like man
ner ; then placing his hind feet on this
pile, he raised the fore part of his body,
and reached put bis trunk, hut still he
could not touch us, as we were too far
above him. Mr. Lindsay then fired, aud|
the ball took effect somewhere on the ele-1
phant’s head, bqt. did non kill him- It;
only made him the more furious. -The ;
next shot, however, leveled dim to the
ground. I afterwards brought the <skuU
of the animal to Golumbo, and it is still;
to be seen at the house of Mr. Armitage
there.
On.the banks of a rivnlet in the
North of Ireland is a stono with the fol
lowing inscription, which was no doubt
intended for the information of stringers
traveling that road.
‘•Take Notice, that when this stone is
out of sight, it is not safe to ford the
river!” ‘
The above inscription is something
similar to the famous finger post which
was erected by’older of the surveyor of
the roads some years'ago in Kent.
“ This is a bridle path to Eversham;
if you can’t read this, you bad better keep
the main road.”
