The etlitorinl licad laj in suggestive near ne to a phenomenal cabbage which some laicil c iiiutr Mib-criber had " left upon our table," ami the cdi:oria! braia va doz ingovtr an utitini-hed .struggle with the lnci - of grain a allected by the charges for transportation, when tlie Man with a Hob h .stepped in at tlie open ollioc-door. He u'a- n little old man in a long Hneu coat turned back at the wrists, with blue eye 'tititl a tiro id, beaming fiee, fringed by thin gray whisker a ! ro-ty Miurie sort of face -and he c.irried over his houldcan un bleiched cotton bag. His tread was uft, liut steady, and as lie lowered his burden to the floor be-ide him, lie said in a pleasant though -lightly impetuous tono: M name is Joshua Craybill; I live in Burr Oak ltottom, wliere.l"hn Brown bta ed the l:i-t night he was in Kau-as." The editor had frequentlr heard of Mr. Crabiil, he miJ with a yawn; had once miile mention of him, he believed, in the .Ytr Eri; and was very glad, indeed, to meit tun. He was al-o familiar with the t fact that HA Sawattonne had tarried ovcr- .ight in lturr O.ik ltottom on his wv to HarptV- lVrn. "An age ago, that seeih-," added the editor, musing. "Ye thank you yes," said the little old man, slipping into a chair, and pushing the hair from a forehead sphered like that ol Horace Greeley. " I'd like to show you mv Claification of Credit ray key to the solu tion of the great financial problem and ex plain it t you, brieflv." After a short ssufe, "If you'll listen?" he queried, with i vl itlush and a touch of urging sadnes. LJ -Trien he drew forth from his cotton bag my pillow-case," he called it a large roll of ilow oil-cloth, which being spread out, tl -flayed upon it, created and glaring sur ' if. a"-erie of diagrams, as Jobhua Crav bill was pleased to term them, painted in aggressive colors and emphasized by sundry mottoes, quotations and caricature. This was his Classification of Credit, figuratively represented a bewildering invention at lirst glance, but yet having a latent method in its tangled lines and its'gaudy, grotesque emblems, that Craybillf pointed out withcon tident fondness, and in the rather hurried manner of one impatient to bestow a favor. There were three separate, but cognate, "plans" in the classification. The first he named "the ash-hopper" plan, or banking upon a specie hisis, snown oy an inverted pyramid (;t-ramid.the little old man pro nounced it), haing at the bottom a bright r.TfftMl red. spot labeled, "devil's net-egg." Tue next was "the store-box" pln,"or banking upon tona, shown by a square, w ith various queer inscriptions about "cen tralization." "monopoly," "sepulchers," and so on. The la-t was the "corn-crib" plan. tiosuut crjymii's noooy, shown also by a nvramid (he insistbd upon pronouncing it p-ramid). but a pyramid standing upon its natural and fixed ba-e, and denoting, as the little old man earnestly put it "the honest dollar as opposed to the rascally dollar" a currency issued directly to the "people upon real estate mortgages, drawing a nominal rate of interest, renewable at pleasure, and ja be redeemed "only when the bae ceases to cover the issue," he explained "which will bs never:" he called out in a raised and peremptory voice, while a big exultant smile overspread his face; and then he Etood gazing at the diagrams in rapt, oblivi- - ous silence. The editor had given careful heed, but somehow he did not altogether comprehend the corn-crib doctrine. People seldom did at first the little old. man innocentrr re marked. Aad yet there was evident thought, and perhaps logic, in 3Ir. CravbuT giddv "" diagrams, the editor was free" to confess. Most persons, no doubt, would hare dis missed such contrivances with the pitving Idea that the fashioner thereof was slightlv out of gear about the head. But he did no't so strike the editor. On the contrary, that estimable person was sure hehad in his time heard far more Incoherent financial theories' advanced by men or conceded and applauded levelness of brain, whose talk evinced much s reading man dosnuacTaynui', and who ild sot on the iorlett of the-r lives have ibrprorertof their whimsies with Sifca1 suc-ess achieved bv this little old b wkh his chart and his pillow-case. "ReaMr Craybill interested the editor He waaUsd ho office, he was proselyting for bo party. Tae most that he desired was an autUeace, aad anew eet of diagrams "paint ed on rolling canvas." lie did sot dUguNc the feeling that he regarded hU key to the rotation of the currency riddle a "worth at leant ilO.OTfl for the purpo't-n of a lecture to the Orange;" and jet hr wa willing to take a an equal prtcr in thin lecture enter prise any reputable pcrnon who would ad vance fund to pay for the ncwrolllng-can-va diagram. He wihcd to let hi Hsbt shine, that wan all "and pay my dcbt," he said with ahrug. Tbey talked an hour or more tagrther, Craybill and the rdltor, mainly with regard to getting the corn-crib doctrine thoroughly before the public; and at length the conclu idon wa. reached that, all things considered, the best way would be for Craybill to go forth among thcyeomary of the county and cefc their vote-. He mut go in an inde pendent rote, of course, "scorning the party lash," and all that ort of thing, sn.I asking favor only upon the genuine merits of the corn-crib policy a nppo-cd to the ahbop per and the store-box device. It took con fldcrable argument to win Craybill over to the idea of striving for e.on crt- to bi reform by soliciting vote, for himself: but finally hr agreed to make the trial. "If only they'll If Men to me," he Mgbcd ; and the editor sld theM be sure to when once he got fairly started. And then aroe a new question; to get otes he must be a candidate, and what should he run for? It would never be known, I suppoir, whether or not the edi tor wa serious In hiit suggestion of the office to which Craybill ought to look; butatan , rate it was settled that the next .Wir Era should announce him a People's candidate ' for Coroner. And upon thi understanding, j they shook hand-warmlv and parted. I All nature was a gladdening harmony to Crabill as he trudged along the bottom road tint ecnlng on hi wmv home. He hid found a chance, at Iat; and it re-created the world for him. Hi inner Joy, new-born mid j exalting, went out from him like a benedic tion, and blecd everything o little does , It require to satisfy us with Iif when that" little is lust what we want. He lifted his hat I anil walked with uncovered head under the branches of the clustered elm, anil in among the great gnarled sjcamore-that overlooked the bluff behind them like so many giant sentinel. For the first time, the song- of the birds feeinedtohim not entirely aimlesor Useless. He even stoop'-d and p ticked a casual bunch of wild daisies, they looked .o unaccountably bright and fresh to him; and lie carried thtin along with him a- indiffer ently as though he h id been doing the like all his life, neer once thinking how odd it made lilin appear, until he reached home and -aw the look of surprise and que-tioniug in the face which conrronted him at the door and brought him suddenly back to himself. It wa not a pretty face, 'his woman's. It was of the pinched and Julceles kind, gh ing an impression of It- having been blown upon alwajs by a north wind. The eyes were gray, full, and" vaguely engaging, but there were curious little crea-es about tlie corners of them, like "gathers" in a piecof muslin, the chin asserted it.-elf prominently overanar row while collar fastened with a small, in tensely scarlet carnelian pin. And tlie form, like the face, also lacked the conventional plumpness, though certain cunning ameni ties or lire which women leirn, I wonder how? did considerable to soften and dis guise this unhappy fact. The woman was Mi-s Abigail Munger, a kind of amateur govcrne-s m the family her si-ter's familv though ostciisiblv a boarder there, a- Craybill was. he was strong-minded, after a fa-hion, and kept a scrap-book, and was of that equivocal age which courty puts at T Hie had no con fidence in ati t lung unless. Ituould be demon strated, as she expre-sed it- She reckoned scriou-iiess (which she confounded with lione-tv ) among the first of virtue-; and when -he .smiled, which she did but rarely, it wa with the precision of a spirit-level, tjtlil she was kind, considerate, and, in her way, ten der, anil 1 make no doubt that manv a night her sleep was touched with splendor bv those dreams of apocryphal ctValiers on in credible steeds which unmarried women are said to go on dreaming to the end of their day-. Cnlike mo-t of her sex, she wit- a good listener, and this was probably her strongest point in Crav bill's estimation; for, of all things in human nature, Craybill mo-t liked a good listener. And then, Miss Munger hail a predilection for figures and problems, and Craybill furnished them In abundance. hc understood, too, or seemed to under stand, even thing he said, which plea-ed and encouraged him; and, furthermore, had she not with her own willing hands made that uniquu pillow-case' In which ho kept his diagram-? Ye, they Were ver good friends, and when he stood there in the door-way with his pillow-ca-eon hi- shoul der and the bunch of daisies lv ing at his feet where he had dropped them, and told her , in hasty, general teimsof his interview with the editor "such a nice, reflective man," he said she actually looked almost de lighted enough to laugh; and then, at her suggestion, they went into the house and sat by the center-table, to discuss the good news in detail. I The next Vctf Era contained the an nouncement of Craj bill's candid-icy, a I promised, and the editor thoughtfully di- I reeled attention to it in a neat local para- graph (which Miss Munger cut out ami , pasted in her -crap-book), saying, among other thing-, that "the ollice "of Coroner being so clo-ely connected with the mo-t -oleum and tender episode- of human life, it ought not to be made a football of the partv caucus or a perquisite of the ordinary political trickster." This stroke was in tended, the editor privatelv a tired Crav hill with what sincerity I can not say "to capture thu Grangers," and at the same time, if possible, " head oil nominations by the Count Coin cntioiis." But in the latter respect, at least, it failed. The opp isition paper promptly came out with a -cubing column artlcledenouncingwhat It felicitous ly termed "this solitary horseman nonsense" as an insult to the intelligence of "a people whoe fitness to select their own standard ly arers was their pride and security." And so two other candidates were duly put into the field against Craybill one an telectie physician of limited practice, and the other a" dealer in furniture, vvho-e stock included "a full line of ready-made coillns." Craybill vvasa good deal dismayed by these movements, and it required allof the edi tor's knaek of persuasion, re-inforced by the efforts of Uncle Clif Tompkins, a Well known local wire-puller, to prevent him from beat ing a retreat. By degrees, however, he re gained his composure, and Uncle Clif vol unteered to assist him n managing his can- vass. 'This doctor." said Uncle clif, "is I irh.l flio (IriniTAPi. r..t! i nnn.iimiliiiutr- tii know. He don't rai?e any thiu, and you can turn the farming element all arain-t huu on that showing. Andthecoftin-fellovv, h 's a middle-man; he don't raise any thin: either. He lives on the hard earnings of the laboring population, and you can upset him with that. And then those diagrams, that store-box, that ash-hopper " "And the corn-crib," Craybill prompted. " And the eorn-enb," echoed Uncle Clif. " How are they poiiiK to set over those, I want to know- They lut can't do it not thi8year. Mr. Crav bill, when labor is up in arms and soint: forth to drive the money changers from" the temple." And what a summer that was for speeeh- raakiug in Kansas! Men talked glibly of the dignity of labor" who had seldom tried any more serious exertion thau the manipulation of dominoes, and biwled themselves hoarse over "the tyranny of capital," while they adroitly shifted their property to their wives' names to avoid the payment of their honest debts. Meetings were held almost daily in the several town ships; every school-house "had its Grange; in every shadv corner lounced a group' of fatigued patriots, in their Sunday" clothes, evolving, opinions about "the hard times." In this pervasive and clattering choru, Crayhill's voice was heard as frequently as occasion offered, piping the virtues of his corn-crib theory, and calmly, though point edly, denouncing the ash-hopper and store box iniquities. That he would succeed, he had no longer a hint of doubt; as soon would he have distrusted one of his own diagrams. But Miss Munger, much as she would have liked to share this view of the situation, was yet unable to smother her mi givings. She believed in Craybill's doc trines thoroughly; but sho was skeptical of the popular intelligence in the matter of choosing a Coroner. Her uppermost desire was to have him beat the opposing candi dates. She was as anxious as he that his scheme of reform should prevail; but still more did she long to see him Coroner. The man had become mare to her than his hob bythat was the truth about it,I conjecture and between her faith on the one hand and her fears on the other (like most wom en, she mixed her emotions with her con victions, and could not readily separate them), it was Impossible for her to strike a balance; but when she took occasion once only, and guardedly to speak this mood to him, he merely smiled in a kfiow ingmanner, and said, "It's all right, it's all right." And so, when, a few days later, a mass meeting for general discussion was adver tised to take place at the countv-seat with the numerous candidates of all kinds for speakers, and the editor Informed him that an aaare was expected, from him the same a from the rest of thera, he speedily sought Miss Munger to show her that here was definite proof of a ruling desire to hear him, and to compare his opinions with conflicting ones; the result of which could not but be the utter confusion and defeat of the ash-hopper and store-box parties. He pictured it minutely.and talked with her about it a lone time; and far removed as he always was J iiuui eucu a iuiu as vauuy, ne couiu not al together get rid of a little throbbing of se cret pride as he thought of the speech he would make. ' I wish I had my diagrams painted on rolling canvas," came into his mind for a moment, bat it was for a moment only, ill confidence roo superior eten to j tbe'dlagram.

There wa a procession, with numerou banner, and ' martial muIe; a dinner In the grove down by the ford; an afternoon of speechei in the public tquarc; and in the evening a bonfire of tar-barrcl and dry-good lox-.

'My vest (s a bit short for public speak ing," he said, after a pause, giving the gar ment a little iw itch, " aud I uppQje It did look odd to them when 1 wa. gesturing. I forgot about It." And then, pre-entlv, " The tar-barrels made every thing so light," he suggested, In asjft, indulgent tone. w J Miss Munger moved uneasily In her chair, but said nothing, and he proceeded: " After that, though, they lUtcued quietly, until I unrolled my diagrams; but at sight of the diagram-, and before I had time to say a word about them, several asked at once, I)oe that chromo go with the story?' meaning by the story my speech. I Inferred -and I had to stand there while they all , I uighed, and laughed, and tos-ed their hat aruiud, and crowded up to the wagon to ! look closely at the diagrams and shake hands I with me, a dozen of 'em -t a time; and then, allof a sinldeii, somebody cried, 'ahoot It, shoot it!' and " ; "Oh!" screamed Miss Munger, starting to her feet and trembling. ' " It was all in fun," he assured her with a '. wan smile; "I never saw folks seem to en- Joy them-elves more.' "It was shameful," she returned, as -he took her seat again "it was shameful I" !

"It was all good-humored the hand shaking," he hastened toay, but eniliar-ras-ing," he added.with auotherfaint -mile. Tin n, buttoning his queer old coat aero-- hi breast, " I think mj-clf the meeting ought to have been in a hall the evening meeting, that is for tlie air wa- suitc cool, notwith standing the bonfire." He seemed lost in thought for a little while, and did not speak again until Miss Munger moved her chair, and the noise arou-ed him. "Well," hen -limed, "1 got their atten tion oner more, after a few minutes, and they were very patient, onh they would cheer so frequently, until finally, jiist a- 1 was making read to sum tip, vv'ith the di i grams held out before them, two or three voices In the edge of the gathering sbi.ut td, '(Jive Us a rest,' and I stopped; and at th it they all surged up to the wagon to shake hands with me again, one after another. And then they seized hold of the wagon and went running with it up the strict so fat tint I could -circel keep my feet; and when they halted in front of the Court-house, I thanked them for their kindness, aud climbed down and came away." He a limed a reflective aspe 1 again, ob serving a- he did so, more in soliloquy than otherwise, " It would have been HI -bred in me to try to talk to them any more; " and a minute later, he said, in the amc musing, absent manner: "If only I could have luid my diagrams painted on roltiug canvas!" Then he was silent and his head dropped; and when, directly. Miss Munger arose and started toward the dour, and passing him, stopped to bid him good nuht, h s iw thai his eves were shut, and his mind in dream Smd. She did not wake him, she only touched his shoulder with the tips of her lingers. " IJIesss his old heart!" she said, tinder her breath, and went softlv out. The next morning. Uncle Clif called to congratulate Craybill tipun his speech, and to declare to him that if they did not " spring something very smart at tlie, last moment," his election was as good as settled. " We can't figure desd-stire on Sandy precinct," he sain, " for they're a slippery lot down there; several of 'era have lately troved in and don't talk, several of 'em are on the fence, and several of 'em can be bought: so it may go three or four either way. Hut the town's for you, after that speech; and most of the country precincts, except Sandy, will do to tieto, unless there's been some fob put up that we hsven't dropped on and I doi.'t reekon there has," and with a parting in junction to Craybill to "keep a stitT upper lip," he mounted his horse and rode away. "A man of parts," said Craybill, watch ing him till he passed out of sight " a man of parts!" Later in the day, Craybill made atrip to town to see his friend the editor, who as sured him, with a profusion of adjectives, that every thing was ' working like a clock." And when he returned home, after stin-et, in the sparkling October twilight, there was Mis M mger by the from window waiting for him or at least she was alone, and ap parently waiting for him and he noticed that her hair, ordinarily oplain aud smooth, was combed in droll utidsover her forehead, with "beau catchers" on either side; and there were some honevsuckle-blosoms at her throat. She had knots of ribbon curi ously pinne I to the cuffs about her wrists, too;" and her scrap-book lay opened in her lap, anjshewas fumbling over a little bunch of newspaper clippings, several of which es caped her fingers and fluttered to the floor as he came in. " I'm glad you've cot back," she remark d at once, in a tone that was low and un usual with her: and then, as she gathered up the fugitive clippings, be added, with an affectation of girlish chirping which was a melancholy failure, " The stars are very pretty to-night." " I'm going to be elected!" Craybill inter posed, bluntly tinregardful of her speech, and leaning bver toward her eagerly, his face aglow and his voice hold and positive. " I'm going to be elected!" he repeated, still more emphatically, and he wondered why she did not clap her bands and tell him how .happy she felt about it. " Don't be too certain," she replied pres ently, in a quiet and kindly manner, a if so licitous to avoid wounding him; and when the radiance left his face, and a sort of dis may settled over it, and he would have told befall the uplifting things Uncle Clif and the editor had been saving to him, she sim ply raised her hand like' one admonishing an over-talkative child, and he lowered his eyes and kept silence. " But no matter," she said quickly, and in an evident flurry; "let's not talk of it anv more, at present. Do you like poetry?" Then she nervously fumbled over her little bunch of scraps again, and picked out one, saying, " Here's " something" this with averted face and a pretense of hearkening to some possible noise "something that I think's real good." He did not look up, and so she read the verses to him. They were commonplace enough, with feet that limped and tripped, and rhymes that were excruciations of verbal surgery; but they related to the sea, the much-sailed and evarlasting sea, and to a supposititious girl with blown hair and be seeching arms, standing upon the beach and singing to her unapparent lover, "in his ship so brave and gay," somewhere out " on the waves so high" and gray;" and thi, I take it, was what made it" "real good" to Miss Abigail, for a man with half an eye for feminine artfulness could have seen that she was trying in her unprscticed way to read to him between the lines a secret of her own. But Craybill had not even half an eve for such pranks. He could not help observing that she read with a'disturbed air, very dif ferent from the direct, arithmetical manner which was her common habit, but he attrib uted it, if be thought of it in a critical ense, to the novelty " of her reading poetry; she had never read poetry, in -his presence before. The ver-es had no hidden meaning for him. In fact, he was usable to see anv meaning at all in them (which was no great wonder), and after sitting a few minutes with his hands to his head in a reverie that made her heartbeat very fast, he raised his blushing face, and said slowlv and de batingly: " T can't make it out." "I'll read it for you again," she responded, promptly suitingtthe action to the -words, with a little more deliberation, in certain places, than before. i!

But it limners little what feed wo give to our fowls, more cpccidly InjiiiK hens, if wo neglect to give them gravel This is quite as important as the food itself They require a daily supply of broken clam or oyster shells.
