JHE FOOL'S FARM. -
John Mosgar was a wealthy fnrmpr. with
stome few hundred acres of land, half of
which was l'ertiic aad well tilled. the other
half a range of rocky Uj.LanJ, from which
Krew forth netMit? bat scanty, almost worth
less woois. The better half of tJie farm
was well storied add well ordered ; the
faruihnuss wa-j the, best in the village of
J uli-fnrl, aad the outbuildings were the
envy of the ncijrhbiTA.
John Mosgar had a knavish brother and
i'oolih son his only relatives llobert,
the brother, ty a just I:sjjensa.tku of I'rov
tlc, was a nan ct comparative itHligeuee,
but his brother John rvorlooked ItU faults,
and saw only Ins j-overty, and relationship;
ami when dying called Robert l o hi bedside
and placicg rfce hand of his son Janiel in
bis, abjured hiui to protect the iniuecile for
Li? fatfcor'sejakc.
Th iiwl swiJed, ami tUe knave smiled,
too; the one tfckled ftt-the idea of having a
friend, the other at Laving a uew victim,
easily plucked and rw"mci.
'fwi!! ett after hiM, Joiia," raid Rob
tit, with a Uk of a.-sumc.l aiTTCtion for his
nephew. "I w!;! prove a father to him af
ter you arc goue, and I will turn the farm
to the best possible account, that your spir
it, if it Mill hover a!ve the earth, may bo
pleased with what I hlin.il do.M '
"Jviough. Robert, adsen. We shall meet
aain iu Heaven. Farewell, my brain
wrecked son,'' capped the dying man.
"Good bye, father,' 'irrit:ied Daaicl, twis
ting his bdy awkwardly about. "Hope
yuu'li have a plea,-r:i journey he, he!"
John Mosgar died, and Lawyer Twist
well's assistance was called in to settle the
affair. It had been the expressed will of
Mr. M. it gar that bis estate should be equal
ly divided !ciween his brother and his son.
"Half toorie and half to the other," were
bis wonts, though the wisdom which promp
ted them was not eiiual to that of King
Solomon.
Lawyer Ti.-t well, at the iostiiration of
llobert Mosgar, made a cruel construction
of the will, and awarded the better halt, all
fertile and ara.'ile land, to the uncle ; while
the Bieaner poition consisting cf meagre
woodland and.rucka, tell to the share of poor
l'aniel.
The more heartless and unprincipled of
the neighbors laughed at the fool when they
heard of the award, and congratulated him
on receiving so much ''good upland." He,
too, wai wcil pleas 3d, and capered about,
fingmr. tiiad songs, to find himself master of
w much good land. He thought his the
belter portion, and bounded over it with
boisterous glee, climbing the trees, tearing
up and hurling the rocks shout, plucking
up the bushes, leaping down declivities, nd
driuking of the streams as if he would con
vince eaL-h inanimate object that he was
their sole lord and proprietor.
The rough waste that had been bestowed
upon ti.e widess, frieudless creature, thro'
the crafty o-'inivanee of the lawyer, Twiat
well, suited the fool's taste 'o the charm ;
for there he would w?nder in undisturbed
soiitud' in idiot "mt-luition, fancy free,-"
unconscious of the weai Ji of which lie had
been robbed by his uncle. One little hut
Mood alone on it, and that served for his
home; and his bodily wants wei? supplied
by such of the neighbors as obtaiilt.il their
itxe IV mi his "I'srui." a ;-" .
''The Lord will never nrosDCT? him who
Meals his treasures from a fool," said one of
these neighbors to her husband,
fle shrued his shoulders with a 'humph!"
for be was conscious of having repeatedly
drawn more wool than hehae bargained for
from the "fool's farm," and was unwilling
to believe in Heavens angry threat.
"Heaven helps those who help them
clves," he dryly replied, easting an eye out
at the maaiiuoth pile of brush wood, which
be paid but a trifle for, in barter.
Ilis wife seemed to understand the look,
but Mie sighed as she poked the fire on the
hearth.
"1 W Daniel !" he txelatmed ; "I hope
he will not suffer from cold or hunger; but
be seems to be in a fair way for it, with his
unelo on one side and a selfish world on the
other. His half was little enough as it was,
and all that is good upon it is fast dwind
ling away. What will he do when the wood
is all gone?"
"We had better he thinking of our own
circumstances," said the husband snappish
ly, "and let the town take care of the fool.
As for Daniel, no doubt he is happier now
Ahan many wiser people."
"Happier than his uncle, I'll be bound,"
said the. woman, "well off in worldly goods
though he be. Old Mosgar always distres
sedsuspicious and timid as if he thought
althc neighbors despised bim for taking ad
vantage of his nephew. And so they do.
And though everything looks well for him
in a worldly way, there will come some
change yet, depend upon it,"
''I'erhaps so, and perhaps not," replied
the husband, indifferently, "but get the
pudding ready, at any rate, for I'm in a
hurry to be off."
So they smothered their sympathy with
pudding and forgot thoJboI. t
Some one talked with Daniel about ais
farm and found him satisfied.
"What will I do with my rocks?" said
he, with a vacant, self-satisfied smile. "Pile
'cm up. Make walls and forts. They will
last longer than wood, and never burn up."
"But you have got no cattle, Daniel, nor
crops."
"I couldn't take care of them if I had. I
can get enough meal and milk to eat, and I
don't want to work. I want to play with
the children, and walk about. Uncle Rob
ert can't do it I am much better off than
he is." '
"Tour wood will be all gone soon. Then
what will you do? You have got no mon
ey." "It will be time enough for me then to
pull up rocks and plant seeds," said he.
looking wise, "And I'll do it all myself,
so that the seed will know me when it comes
up, and bow to me in the morning, when I
walk in the field?. O, I don't care for any
thing or anybody, with my farm !" he
chuckled, flinging himself on the ground,
and turning somersets in his torn clothes.
''Ha! ha! ha! liut I'm not proud," he
added, rising and looking grave. "That's
the reason I lay th the dogs; and the
boys and the ducks and the geese laugh
when I roll in tho straw."
The idiot seemed so contented that none
cared long to dwell upon the great wrong he
had suffered ; and so his uncle was left in
undisturbed possession of what he had
fraudulently acquired. Pity for the friend
less was nut deep enough to arouse opposi
tion against the influential uncle.
Hut it was not long ere Daniel's wood was
thoroughly swept away, leaving him but the
barren surface of the rocks oa whieh to
rest his hopes of support J and now hunger
compelled him to beg at the doors of his
neighbors, for his uncle forbade him to cross
his threshold averse to the presence of
such a standing reproach to his iniquity,
aud thinking to draw him upon the pauper
maintenance of the town.
Alas 1 the lord o( the farm was a pitable
sight to sec, as he wandered half naked,
from door to door offering shares in his
rocks for bread, and with no more of those
vacant smiles which had shown his relation
ill his time of imaginary wealth. Distress
now joined hands with idiocy, and the
dream of comfort had vanished from the
fool's brain. The haggard skeleton, in his
life of chance, had found casual sustenance
enough to keep his soul with his body still ;
but that ghastly aspect of human life wns
more mocking than ever his sterile apology
for a farm. Slow and sad was the stop of
the sauntering scarecrow through tho town;
the melancholy cynosure of pointing fingers,
the desclate victim of shuuielesj relation
ship and shattered brain. Alas for the
spectral laud proprietor 1 Had Heaven's
all embracing glance ao ray to guide his
listless feet? .
Oue day, as instinct set him begging,after
dinner time, for the dismal miscellany of his
daily food, a summer storm darkened
the heavetis and the earth, the peals of
thunder startled all the animated things.
The flowers bowed in terror, and the invisi
ble milliners who decked the bonnets ofc na
ture flew to their most secret haunts. But
the (ool stalked abroad iu the pelting rain,
and lifted his lusterless eyes to the furious
source of the tempest, half amazed, half de"
li,.l-t.l at 1 lie intermittent fires.
Suddenly a shriek was heard along the
road, and looking backward, he saw upon a
frightened horse a young maiden of the vil
lage, clinging to the mane of a galloping
animal, which, snorting with arlarm, ap
proached him.
Dauiel Mosgar was a fool but he was a
man. A wise man uiiiiht have stepped
aside in fear, but Daniel seized a broken
bough by the wayside, and brandishing the
huce weapon tor a moment, darted into the
middle ol the road, as the wild, careering
steed eame thundering on with his insensi
ble burden, with a well directed force the
limb was brought in contact with the horse's
head. The concussion wai treniendous, and
the animal panting and quivering, with
swelled veins, fell heavily to the ground.
Happily for the girl, whose hold was upon
his mane, she was hanging upon the oppo
site side, to that on which he fell ; and be
fore the half etunned animal could struggle
to his feet again, the idiot inspired by the
emergency, sprang forward and pulled the
maiden fiom her perilous position. The
shouts of approaching inen.oneof whom was
her father, now attracted his attention, and
in a few moments, the girl, still uuconcious.
was in her parent's arms,
"Well done, Dauiel I God bless you for
saving my daughter's life I" was the grate
ful exclamation of Mr. Fontley, as the party,
bearing the girl and leading the horse, pro-
eeerirtii to 1113 nouse. uear uv.

will do what I can to repay you, poor fel

frk,1 nn nroxf inc. followed them, proudly
brandishing the huge branch with which he
felled the horse, ana not smiling ac an
-What acents the Almighty sometimes
-hnnK4 for liis- works I" continued Fontley.
"A fool has been the means of saving my
onlv child from a ride to a bloody grave !
Helen Fontley was but fifteen on that day
.-?f treat dancer, and was returning home
imin a eiistomarv iaunt when overtaken by
i,a storm. The father was wealthy, and
-v,l in her all his most cherished hopes.
The heroic deed of Daniel affected Fontley
.j rt filled him with active compas
sion fb'r the yotiig man. He resolved to be
f,;...,. i nrl was so. Out of the
month of the thunder followed blessings for
.i. witU thn tsace .of the clonds
on that day came sun upon the soul of his
fortunes. . ,
Having inquired after his affairs, the next
day Mr. Fontley rode over to the fool s
farm?" and made a brief survey of it Dan
iel and a few others accompanying him.
wi,t An rnn think of the division of
the property?" was the question of one.
"Was it not cruel?"
"Doniolmme to mv house. Cruel C no l
renlied Mr. Fontley, his face brightening up
with a mpftninfr ftniile. S.S thev left the ster
ile uplands. "Ptobert Mosgar did a greater
favor to his nephew by the division than
liia iimnranee intended, if I am not much
mistaken. But we will see. SOOO, how
turns out." From that day Daniel was am-
ilv nmvidpd Tor in the house of Mr. Font-
ley, and meanwhile the secret of the latter' t
words became revealed. The fool 8 farm
proved rich in eoaL The experienced eye
of Fontley had detected, in the course
his visits to it, indications which had escap
ed the notice ot all others, and which sub
sequent prospecting proved true. The bar
ren undulations of sod contained a mighty
mine of coal, and the wealth of the grateful
and delighted rontley developed the black
treasure lor the icncut 01 uauiei.
Numerous workmen were soon employed
upon the before derided waste, and Dle
ford in a few years derived its chief impor
tance from these fields. Capital and enter
prise were attracted to the town, and hun
dreds of families were supported by labor in
the mineral "bowels of the harmless earth,"
and the star of the fool rose suddenly up in
the sky of benefaction. Fontley, his patron,
and self-appointed agent, was true to his
grateful instiets and his important trust, and
Daniel Mosgar became the possessor of un
told wealth.
As if Heaven's rebuke were designed to
be immediately manifest, the strata did not
extend into the land of llobert Mosgar, and
he saw with double mortification the con
trasted wealth of the nephew be had de
frauded. Between his efforts to purchase
any part of the "fool's farm," or all of it, at
any price, 6tood the sagacious, watchful and
honest Fontley ; and of what pitying Provi
dence had held in mysterious reserve for
the day of the idiot's destitution, the mind
and heart of Fontly became the guardian.
Nor was this all the fortune of the fool.
In his youth he had been "bright," as the
saying is, but disease of the brain had set
tled there, converting it to idiocy. Years
of mental darkness had left no hopes of rev
olution of reason, but now the reign of folly
had expired. The sudden change in his
lot threw Daniel into a state of feverish ex
exultation, which resulted in severe sickness
from which skillful treatment raised him
gradually to health and sense again.
It appeared as if joy. had startled and
loosened from his brain- the disease whieh
had made him idiotic, and the long, latent
bane was expelled forever, lie rose a man!
Man in the same and glorious control of all
his faculties! Man in the full ' possession
and free use of that immortal mind without
which he would be no kin nor part of the
Creator nor "dream that our final home and
harbor is the bosom of yearning God. A
man ! . Fool no more, and like one who
wake3 from a long vision of dread images,
he moved and spoke with an unladen mind,
and wept for joy at the coming of the morn
ing of his liberty.
The tears of Fontley and his daughter
were freely mingled with his-a happy trio".
And still prosperity with brigher smiles,
marched fondly on with him. The dark
nessjitly fell on the other side of the can
vass, and the justice of God was truly vin
dicated. The harvests became the prey of various
misfortunes. They were backscant, mildew
ed, here scorched by too much heat, and
there destroyed by tempests. Murrain
blighted his cattle, fire destros'ed his build
ings, and as if the hostility of elements, and
ot men were not punishment enough, sick
ness prostrated him and in the midst of his
ruining adversity, his only children sickened
and died.
So fled the promise of a better farm. So
perished, like the golden mist a sunset, the
vision of the viliian. When he recovered
from the couch of physical prostration, he
learned for the first time of all the good for
tune of the nephew he had wronged bis
reason added to his riches his further bliss
'his union with his benefactor's daughter.
Then walked llobert Mosgar forth into the
air and Confessed, in anguish, his wretched
ness. He beat his breast, and strod ; among
the ruined fields, and knelt and sobbed
alowl !
'Now, oh. Lord, I know my sin 1 And
though my heart is broken, it is purified."
SKAnd so ends the story of tho "fool's
farin;." So closes it, with a moral. Let
not the oppressor be too confident. The
changes of New England's April is not so
great as changes of man's estate ; and they
who exult in cruel sell reliance, over the
unfortunate and unhappy, may take their
place to-morrow.

Learn a Trade-Don't Be Idle.
"A man that is too well born for a trade,
is-very well born for the gallows." There
is a deal too much disrespect for honest la-J
bor tor the healthful maintamaoce of either
morals or government There obtains a no
tion among great class of people that when
a I person is relieved, by the possession of
property, from the necessity of arduous toil,
it becomes a degradation for him to labor at
all If dfefeabit of work is so fixed that the
moneyedmaTh cannot remain idle, he apolo
gizes to it as a sort of vice, and refers to
"habit" much as he would to addiction to
opium or rum, as something to be ashamed
of, but which, unfortunately, had got the
better of him. His children are carefully
educated to "sink the shop" aud turn up
their noses at those who work tor a living.
In seeking matrimonial alliances for them,
he looks for wealth rather than industry,
and chooses as a hnsband for his daughter
the man who has his inheritance in the bank,
no matter how unfitted he maybe to cope
with misfortune, rather than the man who
has a fortune in his brain, and will win his
own way. Idleness and extravagance are
curses worse than the plagues of Egypt to
us; they breed sorrow, wretchedness, crime
and infamy ; send our sons into drunkard's
graves and felon's cells, and put our daugh
ters on the streets, into mad bouses and gar
rets of poverty. Every boy, rich or poor,
should be taught that idleness is crime
and girls should be taught it no less than
boys. h,very child should be taught some
trade, and our school system should be so
reformed and improved that young children
hould acquire the rudiments ot a technical
education.
A Curious Legend.
When Adam was far advanced in years
and at the point of death, he sent his son to
the angel Micheal, who kept the gate of
1 aradise, to pray tor the oil ot mercy so that
he could be healed. The angel answered
that it could not be until fifty-five hundred
years, but he gave beta a branch of the tree
of whieh Adam had eaten, bidding him
plant it on Mount Lebanon,-aud that when
it bare fruit his father should be healed.
Scth planted the branch on his father's
grave, it took root and grew, and from it
were made Aaron s rod and Moses staff
with which he struct the rock ana sweeten
ed the waters of Marah. It also formed the
pole on which the brazen serpent was lifted
n, and the ark oi the testimony. At last
t came into the hands of Solomon, who used
it in building his palace ; but it continually
resisted the e Sorts of the buildors to adjust
it. Now, it was too long, and then again
too short. The builders, being angry, then
threw it into a marsh, so that it might serve
as a bridge. The queen of Sheba would
not walk upon it, but adored it, and told
Solomon that upon it should be suspended
the man through whose death the kingdom
should be destroyed. Solomon then had it
buried deep in the ground, where after
wards the pool of Bethsada was dug, and
from the virtues of this tree, healing prop
erties were imparted to the waters. After
it had been buried three hundred years it
rose to the surface ot the water, and the
ews toot it and made of it the cross of our
avior. Lipincott't Magazine.
Woman Suffrage A Sensible View

woman s suffrage : 1 just don t believe in
these new women notions. I have raised
six boys ; four of them vote now, and the
others will soon be old enough. Then I
will have six votes. Now these good-for-nothing
women, who have fooled their time

around' and want every woman to vote for
herself. I don't believe in such nonsense.
have raised my six boys, and I am going to

they say they are just as good as I am, and

no dots to do so tor them, it is not true, it
thev are as smart as I am, why did they not
raise some boys to vote for them ? I tell you
I do not intend to be cheated out ot my six
