COUDF.RSPORT, POTTER COUNTY, PA., JANUARY 4, 1855.
In the'town of N , up a pas
sage lea to ) the Bridle-smith-Gate,
there lived a man named Barnett. • He
was about sixty years of age, but
though his hair was somewhat sprink
led with gray, and his form was t,ome
what bowed he had the energy of a
younger man, and a frame that seemed
of iron. His brow was lofty, and gave
an idea of intellect, but the hard lines
bespoke craft.
His dwelling was an old mansion
which had seen better days; secluded
on .all sides • from public gaze, its
gloomy courts and still gloomier cham
bers accorded well with the character
of its occupant, whilst the iron-bound
shutters te.stifit:d to the care. he had
taken to secure the treasure he was
said to have amassed. For . Barnett
was reputed to be rich despite his
eloquence on "hard • times,"• "dear
food," " losses in business," &c.
seemed' to be chanting a perpetual
dirge in honor of poverty; but the
world never believes a man while he
pleads her, unless lie wears her livery
unmistakable: Otherwise it shakes its
head and smiles skeptically, but then
it treads him under, and passes on its
way ! Thus Barnett had got the repu
tation of being rich, and certainly
deserved it. There were many in that
town who could haVe told of bank
ruptcies he had hurried on, widows
he Plundered, and orphans he had
stripped' of all,—legally, of course,
(for “ruspectal,ility" reTects 1.1 w.)
but flu•gutful cif a higher command

. man-made statute, from the
great Lawgiver of all !

With a bitter earnestness words can
na express, the miser liissed out these
words, and, drawing his wrapper more
closely round his forM, stalked sternly
and hastily from the room.
His son sat for some minutes with
his f.:ce in an agony of sorrow, buried
in his hands. Then, heaving a deep
sigh that sounded of despair,. he stag
gered forth into the silent streets.
Thus they parted, and the last words
they were destined to interchange
were words of bitterness and ttrifi!.

Brought. up by his father, even then
stern and inflexible, he became ac
quainted with a set of " choice spirits,"
that haunted the corner of the streets,

All this was in secret.. Titus hypoc

furious at his son's delinquencies, for

he married, and brought upon himself
increa-ed burdens. But toil and pen

age crept upon hire. Bereft of home,
hope; and family, he threw himself
upon a mercy that never existed, upon
an affection that never • I;vas. It had
ended in this! •
And now we return to. the miser.
\Vhat -words can paint . the struggle
within his breast! A last faint spark
of natural ibehing strove with the-mist
of - selfishness. The hope of having
one to care for hini amongst the thou
sands that cursed his naive, tempted
him to forgive. The hate he had cher

Suddenly were heard along the
passage ,teps, and voices, "Who lives
in this dismal honse!" said one. " The
miser," said another and they passed
away. A black. scuwl 'gathered - over

shriek of agony rose from the tumult,
which sent the bloodcurdling through

thick pool of blood, in evidence of the

This can properly . be dune better by
establishing ; town fat wets' clubs, than
in any other way. Let some of the
best and most enterptisim , ° farmers in
each .town: start the subject, call a
meeting, at which there will be a
greater or a smaller attendance, as
there is more or less interest 11 - 21 t in
the subject; let them adopt a sliort
and simple code of by-laws, and agree
to meet once a week, for the discus
sion of practiCal questions,. relating to
agricultural subjects, at a central
place," and we think, that while the
members would be benefited by such a
course, the whole town would gradu
ally acquire an.interest in the subject,
-that would be:seen in the better man

A farmer to succeed in -his business,
wants not only all the information he
can acquire, individually, from his
own trials 'and experiments, but also
all the knowledge to be obtained from
the experiments and acquired knowl
edge of other i i, and this he cannot
gain if lie remains at home. He must
go out :MOW , his brother fhrmers, be
willing and desirOus to impart and

establishing farmers' club::, than in,
any other way.—Granite Farmer.
