I had just left college ; I was hopeful, enthusiastic, and the pros pects were rose hued and enchant ing. A year later fV great financial crisis swept over the country and wrecked my journalistic venture, leaving me a bankrupt without any available resources. Vi.re iva3 h man living in Daven !'! t at that date named McGuire. lie was eon'ue'ed with a family of otne wealthy and h?u been a steam ho.d mail far many year?, ana had closed his career in that line through the loss of his e3 esiht. Although totally blind, ho preserved his energy ard sotnewhut of his ainbi tio.i , and determined to e.irn Lis own living, Many schemes were deviled and discussed, and finally one was adopted, it consisted in a panoramic exhibition . The Mor mon matter was at that time on of Considerable prominence, and it was believed that the public interest in the history of the saints might be depended on as a source of profit. Accordingly McUuire ordered the painting of a panorama in which, in n score of pictures there were pre sented the principal events in the career of the Mormons. McGuire needed some one to oversee his movements and to act as the iec'.ttrer. It was offered the posi tion st the then munillieent salary of !iv,0 Vtc-k, to be p ud mi gold, with the promise of a lavish share in the prospective inevitable profits of the entei prise. Albeit somewhat given to pessim-i-tie views of life and inelir.e 1 to ie-poi:ilout conclusions, I became :;' hu-ed oer his brilliant colorings of the future, and saw rm Sell the po-sessor of unlimited wcal.h. If. i T i i e opening night of the panor-i an. ;c. ven ture was in June, 1858,; Tiicre ws a fair audience, who lis-! tehe I patieatly as I waded for three J hours through a paper which I had! 1 !'c)ired ior the occasion, ana which; w'as in the mum a Oung man s Miv-j fl'i- denunciation ,,f the ner.-f ciit.ions fa the unfortunate saint?.

The attendance was light, 'od as I hail cut my lecture to one fadf its original dimensions, I had rea-.on to think that the sudier.ee at least better pleased with this feature of tiie exhibition. A blind n-.i..';ciau named I'aikcr vvas t!ie j ore! es'ra for tiie evening". A course of days later we weieui roi I- l :s f -.vrd, and made our first fa.k at (ieneseo.

I stcUied the h'.tle hall contained i n 1 1 e town , and distributed pro. ted ;' tvertiseanrnts. The trains caine, 1' 'd no panorama. Tvo da s thut p kSM d, when a letter from MeGuire iuforru'd me that lie was about to rifi:rn to Davenport to obtain some more money, and that he would come back in a few days. III. When, afte some time had elapsed, and the promised panorama did not come, I began to feel my situation embarrassing. The hotel proprietor ha 1 accepted niy explanation of a lack of funds, and readily agreed to await the arrival of McGuire. At the end of a week matters began to chaige. There was no MeGuire, and I was not the possessor of a single nickel. I was ashamed to write for assistance to any of mv friends ; in fact, I could think of none nf them that would probably respond to a request for mocey.uudcr tlie circumstances. I became des pondent ; my bright promises of a vejr before had all faded, and I felt myself an absolute failure, I was a wretched castaway in a sliane region without a friend, or resource, or hope. One day, wheil sitting in a bowl ing alley and watching a game be tween a couple or local expert", a stianger entered, and after lookh.u around in an indiffelcnt manner, finally , ri5 If by accident, dropped into the seat adjoining mine. Some peculiar stroke by one of the play ers elicited a remark from me , to which he responded: This grew in to a con vernation, and later into an intimacy. He was a tall man, about 30 years of age , with a smooth, open face, keen brown eje3: dark hair and a physique indicating the pos session of great strength. He was very socianle H Ins methods. tre-.t-inff freely at the bar, and had at his command a large supply of money, especially in the shape of gold coin, a handful of which he was in the habit of pulling from his ooeket when he had to pay for some pur chase. He seemed to take a liking for me. He cultivated my acquaintance. He had been about the world a good deal and kuew many curious people and wonderful things. In my loneli ness he was a welcome distraction, and I became attached to him and we were inseparable. IV. One bright Sabbath he invited me io take a walk into the country. We strolled along the wagon road for a mile or &o, and then turned into a meadow near the center of which was a large tree. To this he led the way, and when we reached it we sat down within the grateful shade. My companion seemed unusually happy. Ills idea? ran on the splendors of wealth, the glo of travel, the favors of beautiful women, and other maU ter3 kindred in their roseate 8ug ges;ions. At length hs thoughts drifted insensibly, pa it were, into the far east. He seemed familiar with ancient history ard tlie legends of the fabulous we alth of the orient il rulers and princes, of their ex cesses, their armors, and their lux urious dissipations He relatid many curious legends, among which Solomon was a prin cipal figure. Finally he told mo the following : 'Some fifty years ji&o there, was a traveler engaged in examining the ruins of the temple iu Jerusalem. He was a m;n of gnat learning, espeei ally in antiquarian history and iu chMiiistry. For many weeks he searched throug'ii the foundations of the temple, carefully examining every foot of its accessible surface. He consulted constantly during his search a small diagram made up or puzzling line??. One day, in a remote recess which he discovered , and whose c:, trance ! ;i apparent!.) been concealed for ;,os j he clou dy examined the wall-", and on one of them found smic my .rerious characters. Tti moment in f'iv ine;- lie cuniiuKiitiu unu ate inspection of the floor, in one j corner of which, after a long cxamm- :tion , he found in'iu. d ;n the stone Mi iron ring.7 To make the story brief, he said lhat ti e old man discovered a nar row stone stairway beneath the stone in which the iron ring was fixed, rnel at I he bottom a small apaitment. in which was a chest , from which he look a metal plate engraved With bieroglydhics. This he concealed about, his person, and alter carefully replacing the stone and filling up the entrance to the recess with rub-, bish. lie disappeared. e,.ll i,l,ici,nr lifc.MinR of lllfll?') ...11 . ,..!. .11. ... ..----. 7 1 asked 'and what was the m'Sten - out plate?' He looked all round as if tht-re might be a listener, and then wfiis phred : -t was a recipe of a form ula for the making of gold.' And the old man, what of him?' 'See here, let me tell you some-! thing , and here his voice sank so! low as to be almost in distinguish- j able, 'Lp In the peninsula of Mich igan, io a place eurrounde 1 for mile with rocks and timber there lives a man so old that nobody Can guess his age. He lias surely lived more than 100 years. He is entirely alor.e. and no one. so far as tiie world knows, has ever visited hhn. Once a year he appears at Some point, purchases some supplies, and then I'.sapjlears. What he buys he pays for in gold pieces always $20 pieces, bright and new, j jst like one of these,' and he pulled a handful of double eagles froril the packet or his trousers. 'Are these made by him?' I asked. 'Every one of them,' he replied, as lie tossed a ban Iful of them into the sunshine, l.tting them fall in a shimmering cascade, whose golden waters mingled with the green grass 'Why , that is counterfeiting ! isn't :t?' 'No, sir! There is no difference between thefe and those coined by thetfOvernme.it. If they are exact ly the fame, wild is defrauded by their circulation? No one.' I ttill expressed some doubts as to their being so like the government coinage that the ditference, if any, could not be detected, 'Wait till tomorrow, and I will convince you,' was the answer. V. The nest day he purchased tickets for Battle Creek and we went to the place on the firtt train. We first wut into a shoe sts-iv, whet he purchased a pair of sh ies, ai d in payment threw down a double eale. The proprietor took it and gave him the proper change without any 1 esit ation. 'He may notice ajjdge of coin,' I sa:d aftir we Lft the store. 'Well, ltt us try some one that is an expert.' We entered a bank and j he threw several of the pieces on the ; counter and saul : j 'Please give ir.e change for one of! these , and be good enough to ex amine them closely , as I have reason to suspect they may be bogus." The banker weighed them and j term in the penitentiary. then applied an acid test. -They j I was enlightened. When 1 think are ali right,' he said, 'and if 3 on j ,,f inV position at that time, the in ure afraid of them I will take all j duccmeuts otfeied by the conseience- you have otXyour hands and give you currency in their place.' 'No, thank you. I only wished to be satisfied the)' are goo.' I was astonished and convinced that the money was as good as the genuine. And now a rew phase in the con duct of my associate was developed. At first he began to enlarge on the splendors of career with lllirnita' Ie wealth at one's co'mand. And then he advonced a step, and sug gested that we should obtain some of this gold, an! then go our wny through the world rejoicing. He was iu a position to obtain all that we required at a mere song. I had told him oi out the panorama vm ture, and he proposed that we should redeem it, purchase a wagon and hordes and go through the country, ostensibly giving panoramic exhibi tions, but in reality distributing the coin. ' I tell you,' he said, "I know how we e&n carry ell the gold we want We will bore lull of holes the bar that crosses under the box and fill the holes with $20 pieces. Nobody would ever think of looking for it in any such place.' Thus did h& ply me for several days. I listened to him with a live ly curiosity. His plan seemed safe, feasible, and certain to be produce tive of unlimited weaLh. Often in looking back at this period of my life I wonder that I did not yield to his glittering promises. I was entirely alone. I had failed disastrously in business, and saw no hope in the gloomy future. I was in teat con - dition when I cared for nobody and nobody seemed to care for me. For some reason, however, I never"! reached the consenting point. I was ; the sun. ! self to the co t and labor ot repe; T -l interested and delighted, and with-!

VI. Oae day, during the war, while riding along the lines between Shiloh j snd Hamburg. I came across a sultei'j tent, and dismountel to get something to quench my thirst. I here w is a man inside whom I at once recognized as my old Michigan Hssociate, At first he denied know big me, but at ler.th admitted that he was the mrn. 'How is the gold business, and the old man up in Hie depths of the j wilderness in the peninsula; and are j you still pushing the double eagles?' 'Oil, all that be d- d !' was his answer. What do you mean?' Are you a fool? Haven't you tumbled to my racket up in Mich ignnf 'I can't say that I have even yet. What was it, anyhow?' 'You must be the biggest fool in creation !' lie answered with a look of contempt. 'Honest, now, don't you know what I was up to?' 'Honest, now, I don't. What was il?' 'Well, that beats me! Ill Ull you, although it doesn't seem pos -ihle that any than rrlth a pinch of sense would have filled to hive got on to my work. At that time Mich igan was dooded with counterfeit money, especially along the line o! the Michigan Central railway. You came to town an entire stranger , and were looked on with suspicion. I was in the secret service and was down to look you ovor.' 'And the boaus money?' 'AH genuine government coin. Of course the bank found no fauk with it. 'And the venerable antiquarian i.p in the vveods?' 'Only n blind. I'll be plsin with you. I intended to get j-ou to go in to the business of my shoving the queer.

And then the consequences would have been that you now would be serving about, jour fourth less scoundrel, ami all the surround isigsof the case. I sometimes wonder that I am r.ot in the penitentiary. I gave my old Michigan friend a piece of mind in the most vehement English at my command and then lode away.

Much of the unproductiveness of the light, sandy fands of tiie South is owing to the want of lime, which is an element needed in every soil : and if it is not there naturally it should be applied. The difficulty with most of our farmers is that litre is expensive, and they aii uu- able to obtain enough to be of much benefit. Hut near liuie kilns the material may ba had cheaply, and in these parts farmers cannot do better than apply it liberally. It matters not much how it is got into the t il the main point is to get it there, where it will gradually dissolve and do its own good work. The addition of lime to land has prevailed in nearly all well cultiva- ted countries for a long perio l. In Europe its use is almost universal : ana us vuiue is lecogu .mi ueie i- our ;Alest farmers. In all soils its effects "-ire to promote the dee r' of vegetable matters and manure-;, and also to aetuallv conlr.bnle to the for- j mation of the plants themselves. In j tenacious ana clayey :so dis- integrates the 1 articles, renders them more easily worked and l.-ss liable to be packed by tie lie.it of itself a fertilizer in the sense thai hniano is ; its effects are more me - disaj-pointment ; and it is this that has given rise to tiie proverb, ' Lime , :!.!, n f,ntlir- lnO i.niwicm- niru-ncui 1 oc i.in.v. , 'jl 'ru , isheth the son7 Laid on m repeat - ed doses, an 1 for a length of time , the luxuriant crops it causes at first gradually fall off, until even with the stimulant of iarger doses the soil refuses to respond, Alike' re-u!' m".- ''- ' sr.v.i from the freq n :.t ipp'ie.iliori of yp - um. at ( r potash.

Hut the addition of this substance aloae, year after year will uol keep up the produc'.i ja. be cause the crops are extracting other substances also from the eoil, and unless these are restored the yields must diminish. While lime is es sential to all land, the farmer who nopes ts make his fields produce large crops bv the continual applica tion of this one substance will be disappoin'ed. Any treatment that crops extract frilil it , will ultimate ly make it poorer. It is often observed n the South ttutt cow peas do not thrive on cer tain sandy lan Is , but die out so-jm after they have become four or six inches high. This ia owing to the want of lime in the soii,sn i we have found, in our own experience, that a liberal application of lime to such land invariably produced a good crop of peas. This is a matter of importance, as it is only by the use of cow pea vines t ii.it lirg; tract of such poor lands can be be brought up to ferlibt . A. P. F., in Fn i.t dii'l Fir'isii'". HOW TO 2ii:i:i' .tlAB SSf h A great deal e?f needless expense and trouble is incurred, by atttmpt ing to shelter the stable a id barn yard manures from the rain, com posting it, keeping it iu cellars, etc., all of which necessitates the con struction of extra buildings and greatly increases the labor of hand ling, and consequently the co-t of the mnnure. All this trouble and expense is easily avoided. The place to keep stable and barn yard manure is where it will do Hie most good, an that is in trie fiel Is where crops nn 1 fruit trees grow. As fast as this maiiu-e acc i:n u 1 lies, carry it to the field and spread it upon the land, or put it under or around some crop. So long as you keep it in the barn ard, in cellar, or under shed it is doing no good but harm rather, and it cost something to keep it there. It is not until it is got upon the land that it begins to accomplish any good fcr the farmer therefore the sooner it. is put there the less t rouble it is and the sooner it will begin to pay. As often ai the stalls are cleaned fie once a day or once a month, have the'earts standing by to receive the manure, and carry it direct to the field, or to the fruit orchard , if you j have no other immediate use for it , ; and spread it upon the land. will ; not be wasted , the ammonia will not j be lost, it will do goo I, and it v. ill be cheap manure because there is no extra handling, no cost for sheda , itc. Of course we would not put the j manure down 01 i.n open untilled j ; field or orchard, i f there was any! j other place or inc for it at the time, j And there is most always such place, no matter how often it mt.y be necessary to clear the sti lls. All through the year there is some crop ! ti; t ir a r "er or at :ive t' t il - - :- mar, ure .-lueliiing v. tatoes, corn , rra- ..obis, turni s. iV , to plant, or a g- as-, '.over, or grain field to be top- i;e--'-d. A I'.rni.'r had Infer 1 l tie r.ccu-muhitii-ns iii iri the .si ii.s until he does have occasion to apply the ma- j riUre under some crop, even though the bulk gets troublesome far the j want of removal , than subject him- j and there is no crop 10 be .b ote 1 or ' fertil:zed to whrch this shoit of nr- 1 carried direct to the field, and al once spresd upon the land, than to . 1 in.Mir n.u eviii lop 1 hp ! iso il nrii- i.iu., - , ! is very trilling, and certam-y li is nothing like the cost of keeping under hel'er.

It is now appreciated that a calling in which all science, varied culture, busii ess apt itudes an i social grace have an appropriate ami helpful place, stands on a par in dignity and desirability with any o'dier in which a bread-winner can gain a livin.'. There are now graduates from our highe-t institutions of learning, who have chosen the farm ar the theater of their future ca reer. Nor are they lost to fhf world of culture or of society by their choice. When the physical, mental, and social capabilities of boys of the farm have adequate and equal opportunity for development there will be no complaint of their distas'e for agriculture. It would be quite impracticable, iu a brief article, to indicate the myriad forms which the idea ef rural recivafioli might suggest, Tlie opportunities are limitless; any view of them must be kal.i hwopie. In the winter, the season of com parative leisure, the young peop'e are at no loss for amusement, with sleigbridcs, partus singing schools and social gatherings under vat ions conditions.
