E announce with a great deal of pleasure
a serial that is somewhat exceptional, even
in these days of active fiction. It is a story
of unusual power, of wonderful pathos and
yet dealing with practical, every-day life in
a way that stirs the soul and teaches a
lasting lesson.
The story begins with a description of
the home and life of David Corson, a young
Quaker, whose career has been so peaceful

whirl of pleasure by the mountebank. Finally, he induces

Such an Kden existed In the extreme
western pan of Ohio In the spring of
1S41V ll was a Valley surrounded by
wooded lulls mid threaded by a noisy
irook which hastily made Its way. as
If upon some errand of Immense Im-
ortance. down to the bin Miami not
many miles distant. A road cut
through a vast and solemn forest led
Into the valley, and entering as If by
corridor and through the open portal
of a temple, the traveler saw a white
farm-house nestling beneath a mighty
haokberry tree whose wide-reaching
arms sheltered It from summer sun
and winter wind. A deep, wide lawn
of bluegrass lay In front, and a garden
of (lower, fragrant and brilliant, on
Its southern side. Stretching uwav In
to the background was Ihe farm newly
carved out of the wilderness, but al
ready In a high state of cultivation.
In this lovely valley, at the close of
long, odorous, sifn -drenched day In
early May. tlie sacred silence was bro
ken by a raucous blast from that most
unmusical of Instruments, a tin dinner
was blown by h bare-legged j
who scented to take d
light In this profanation. Hy hi side,
lu the vine-lad porch of the white
farm-house stood a woman who shad
ed her eyes with her band as she look
ed toward a ag.ie oblect tn a distant
meadow She was no longer young. As
the light of the setting sun fell full
upon tu r face it seemed almost trans
parent, and even the tmobserv tug must
nave perceived that some deep experi

to l.er character tin Indescribable
charm.
"Thee will have to go and call him,
Stephen, tor 1 think he l as fallen Into

llgure with a stealil y tread, and pluck

brim.tcd neck. Tho hand of the plow
man moved automatically upward as
If to brush away a My, and at this un
i nusi-ions" action the child, sel.ed by
a convulsion of laughter and fearing;
lest it explode, slurred his fists Into
his mouth. In the opinion of this Ir
reverent young skeptic his t'nele Pave
was In a "tantrum" instead of a
trance." and he thought such a dis
ease demanded heroic treatment.
I-'or several years this Quaker youth.
I lav Id Corson, had been the subject of
remarkable emotional experiences. In
explanation of which the rude wits of
the village declared that he had been
moon-struck; the young girls who
adored his beauty thought he was In
love, and the venerable fathers and
mothers of tills religious community
believed that In him the scriptural
prophecy, "Your young men shall see
visions," had been literally fulfilled.
Pavid Corson himself accepted the last
explanation with unquestioning faith.
The life of this young man had been
pure and uneventful. Kxistence in
this frontier region, once full of the
tragedy of Indian warfare, had been
gradually softened by peace and rel.g
j ion. In such a sequestered rcgioiT
I books and papers were scarce, and he
' bad access only to a few volumes writ

, soil of th s young heart were fertil

Th etiiM i,niindin forward, the
tired procession entered the barnyard
The plowman fed his horses, and stop
pod to listen for a moment to their
deep-drawn sighs of contentment, and
to the musical grinding of the oats In
their teeth. His Imaginative mind read
his own thoughts Into everything, and
he believed that he could distinguish In
these Itinrtlculatts sounds the words
"Good-night. Oood-nlght."
"(Jood-nlfcht." he said, and stroking
their groat flunks with his kind hand,
left them to their well-earned repose.
(in his way to the house he stopped to
bathe his face In tho waters of. a
spring brook that ran across the yard.
and then entered ths kitchen where
supper was spread.
' "Thee la late." said the woman who
hud watched and waited, her fine face
radiant with u smile of love and wel
come.
"Forgiv e me, mother," he replied. I
have had another vision.
"I thought as much. Thee; must re
member what thee has seen, my son,"
she said, "for all that tnee Denoias

"It was delivered to me that on the
holy Sabbath day I should go to the
camp In Baxter's clearing and preach
to the lumbermen."
"Then thee must go, my son."
"I will," he answered, taking het
hand affectionately, but with Quaker
restraint, and leading her to the table.
The family, consisting of the mother,
an adopted daughter Poro boa. the
daughter's husband Jacob and son
Stephen, sat down to a simple but
bountiful supper, during which and
late Into the evening the young mys
tic pondered the vision which he be
lieved himself to have seen, nnd the
message which he believed himslf to
have heard. In his musings there was
not a tremor or a doubt; he would
have ns soon questioned the reality of
the old farm-house and the faces of
the family gathered about the table.
He was a credulous and unsophisti
cated youth, dwelling in i realm of
imagination rather than In n world of
reality nnd law. lie hnd much to learn.
His education was about to begin, and
to begin s dots nil true and effective
education, in a spirltunl temptation.
The Chebers say that when their great
prophet Abriman was thrown Into the
tire by the order of Nlmrod, the flames
Into which ho fell turned Into a bed of
roses, upon which he peacefully re
clined. This Innocent Quaker youth
had been recfllilng upon-a bed. of roses
which now began to turn Into a couch
of flames.

Arranvea for Two Settlements.
Two localities In Taa are to be
the scenes of a new plan in coloniza
tion, according to a report from Rome,
eays the New York Herald. An Ital
ian syndicate will establish la the
middle part of the State two agricul
tural colonies, each composed of 100
families, or about 1.000 persons In all.
brought directly from the agricultural
districts of northern Italy.
The entire scheme calls for the ex
penditure of about $1,000,000. One-
third of the amount has been subscrib
ed by Texas capitalists headed by
Capt. Nicolinl, Italian consular ageut
at Galveston. The rest has been fur
nished by a syndicate organized last
winter hi Milan, and presided over by
Lulgi Lu.zatU, former minister of
finance ta the Italian cabinet.
The scheme calls also for the estab
lishment by one of the Italian steam
ship companies of a direct Hue be
tween '.he .Meu:tf rranean ports and
Galvesio-.i.
The idea of colonizing the Italian
ally, and onee ( Immigrates In the agricultural dis
tricts of the south d.ifes back to tho
time the Italian ambassador, Sig. P.s
Planches, made a tour of Louisiana
and Texas, and was favorably im
pressed by the prosperity of the sev
eral Italian agricultural settlements
already existing In those two States.
The splendid possibilities of the
Southern States for those taking up
laad soon attracted the attention rf
j northern Italian capitalists, whiv la
; ferested Senator Pe Martlno. president
i of the colonial institute of Rome. He
said ho was willing to lend his sup
: port to the enterprise provided the
syndicate would accept a cenafn con
trol ou the part of the colonial Insti
tute. The result was that a commission of
three members was formed and sent
here to Inspect the land. The com
mission arrived In New York In Jan
uary, and after a brief stop In Wash
ington went directly to Texas, where1
it remained for A month making a
thorough survey of the laud from t.ie
point of view of practical farming, j

Filled with the tales of wind and bee,
Of cricket and moth and bird;

Thronged with the dreams of a har

O'er fields drenched deep with dew.
Oh. homely barrel, I'd fain essay
Your marvelous skill again;
Take me buck to the past, I pray,
As willingly now as then

Of the orchard over the hill.

While vegetables are given a low
value as food for man or beast on
account of their large percentage of
water, the dry portion is highly nu
t.itlve. In the potato the 22 per cent
of solid matter Is nearly all available
for food. The proteids as flesh form
ers and the carbohydrates as fat pro
ducers are essential parts of food.

Bad roads are an extravagance that
no farming community can afford.
Just what they cost in unnecessary
expenses It takes but a moment to de
termine. A team and driver are -asonably
worth ii a day, na by the use of
these It is a-f?ible to deliver to mar
Wat trom your home luo bushels of
corn. Hauling over pood roads, the
cost of delivery is 3 cents per bushel.
Rut if. In consequence of bad roads,
but fifty bushels can be delivered, the
cost Is doubled and the difference is
what the impassible roads cost you.
Continue this calculation, applying it
to the hauling of all your crops, and
it quickly becomes apparent that It
amounts to a very burdensome tax.
Good roads help la every way; thev

and relatives accessible, and by means
of them it Is easier to reach the
