cents a pound will not justify r.>

Lord for protection, or watt until

up his mind to do without for one
year, except what compost heaps
he made at home. It would lift the
mortgages off of a thousand farms,
because a man once relying on
homo eompttet would cut his guano
bills down one-half hereafter, 1
takes a million bales of cotton to
pay for the fertilizers wo use in ton
south, and it forces a million baioc
of cotton into the market early is
tho season- The spsculatcrs know
this, and they run cotton down just
when the farmer lias to sell. When
wc control our own cotton, and sell
at pleasure, the price will go up.
Wliat we need is to go baok to
the simple old talloM candle clay.
When we do this we will begin to
get rich, and not before then.

I can immediately. But this Is
indeed a welcome change; to spring
from deep poverty to such wealth
in a moment by tho death of an an*

silent about it. The fact of my

but shall fulfill »n ,n

small boys residing, plice strango to vo
late, in the same where lies
this new estate. In taking the
property you say I am requirod to
assume the name of its former own

months spent in the neighborhood
as a poor teacher. I havo met sad

(]calh vi ol(1 Belmont, a
widovvcr pussed i nt0 the hands of
ft young relative, cxpccUd soon to
visit the premises. ZooOorsaii and
her piudcnl mother had decided to
uppvopi .j ate both owner and estate
as soon as possible after his arrival,

; Jecame tt great favorite with his
pupils. Living as he did in the
fami , j lC goon became well~ ac
quainted with all, while lu evident
ty admired the beautiful Zoe, who
treated him with cool •politeness,
Of Blanche he saw little. Sho was
only the poor rttation, depending
upon her uncle for support, there
tore compelled to bear every ini
position and caprice her worldly,
selfish aunt and cousin saw fit to
inflict. Only a little enjoyment was
hor’s; a solitary spot, a deep ravine
wild.y romantic and secluded, not
fur from her uncle’s residence.
Thither sho went on> beautiful af
ternoor, about October 1, tripping
along down tl.« winding pall, that
ied to the depths below. But sud
denly .ho paused, a groan and a
taint call tor help arresting her
steps. Hastening to the spot where
she judged the sufferer to be, she
saw a man lying at the foot ot the
n,vine, rootiinieua, and now quite H
ti „.
In a few minetes sho was beside
him, and on lifting his head from
the ground.she found Mr. Hamiton,
the tutor, unsconscious.
Running to the stream of water,
she dipped in her handkerchief and
hatlied his brow.
At last he opened Ins cye3 and
g»*ed long and vacantly upon her.
Ah, yes, I remember, I did fall
lost f leaned my bafance. over to pluck Bat a I flower feci better and
again, thanks to you for your care,
U nd I will see if I cannot rise.
Lean on me Mr. Hamilton. mm
think I can get you up to the path
if it is too sleep to the road, and
from thence, after a rest, home.
Slowly, yet surely, leaning on
the young girl for that susport be

So saying, tho unfeeling Zoe
i swept down stairs, followed by her
motlier, while a soft voice murmur
ot * by tho invalid's side: *
You are not sleeping I seo—
What shall I do for your relief?

Let me bathe it, then.
How soft hor fingers were; how
gentle her touch, and what a depth
i ot largo womanly pity beamed from those
brown eyes.
About two weeks after the acci
^ cnt Blanche wandered onco more
to her favorite resort, and seating
herself at tlio foot of tho descent
she was soon lost in a deep rover-
This is a charming spot, Miss
Blanche, said a well-known voice
behind her, and I. soo is a favorite
of yours. Now that 1 know how to
avoid its dangers, I also am charm

of the young as sho blush

by her side. But jours is tho only
1 havo cvoi soon when here,
*»d 1 cannot but wonder how you
discovered the spot,
'Ono of my little pupils told mo
of it, and that day when I foil tf«s
nty first visit. Thankful am I that
you wore in the habit of coming
here,else 1 might havo died, alone
and uimnsscd.
Alone, 1 grant, bat not nnm.ssed

1 would like to toll you, dear
Mtsa B anche, how strongly attach
ed I have bccomo to my tender
nurse amt how much l long for her
*to return % devoted affection,
Dearest, oan yon love s. person oc
cupying so humble a prisiiinn ns tu
tor to your uncle’s children ? If
you can, and if you will allow me
lo present my deep loye, and will
consent to be my wife, it will bo the
delight of my life to try to make
you happy. Then he drew her op
toward him and their lips met.
No opposition was offered when
Mr. Hamilton asked the hand ot
Blanche Gilmoio from her uncle,
all thinking that their poor aelative
did well even in marrying a tutor,
In tho meantime tho news came
that the Belmont owner was soon
to take possession of his property.
Ono of his oddities was that on the
evening of his return a large party
of friends and tho select neighbors
were to assemble to welcome him.
This party, as it happened, was to
take, ptaco the evening beforo the
marriage of Blanche. Cards of in
v itation had been left at Mr. C'or
sair’s, and, much to tho surprise
and chagrin of Miss Zoo, Blanche
was also remembered.
Just as if wc wanted to introduce j
onr poor relations, she said scorn
t«*fly. I wonder that tho tutor ulsO
was not included.
Tho evening canto. The room*
were thronged, but singular to re
mane, tho young owner had not as
yet made his appearance. The
guests were received by Ins most
intimate friends, Mr. and Mrs.
Metcalf, and tho latter, as R >pn as
Blanche had beei, introduced, roan,
aged in to draw her to ono aide, and
another moment Zoe wondered
as she saw them leave the rooms
About half nr, hour la
ter, after all the gdests had assem
bled, Mr. Metcalf said r
“Ladies and genflcman, Mr. B c
mont has just arrived and in a few
minutes will be pleased to nice!
you and introduce to ail assembled
the beautiful young lady, who to*
morrow morning will become his
bride.”
Scarcclj T had he finished speak¬
the ing when the young man entered
room with Blanche hanging on
his arm; ncr face radicrit with hap

' “impossible
!” cried Zoo, sinking
into aeiiair.
“lt is quite true, madamc,” said
the young man, “and now let ino
hope to sec you all at our wedding
to-morrow"
All were present except Zoe,
digs-appointinent was too
grea* to permit her' to form one of
the wedding party.

A. Pearl King,
Sho looked down at her hand:
’Twas slender quite; the bund
Of gold so brightly gleamed,
Each day it yellower beamed,
“My love, he’ll came,’* she said—
The days and weeks fast sped
She looked down at her hand ;
The pearl set in the band
Seemed strangely dark to grow.
“ He’ll come, v-es, soon I kno\V.
The leaves turned rod and fell—
“ My love, he loves mo well.”
She looked down at hor hand
“ I wonder in wliat laud
lie roves, arid if thin ring
* C6nld me to sorrow bring ?
O, docs this shining gold
Portray ihy untold.”
“ And call the petfrl, so dart,
Set forth a faithless heart ?
False emblems, yon .deceive !
I’ll die first than believe
He could unworthy bo—
'I know my love loves' me/’
She looked down at her hand : .
’A ith age aud toiling tanned,
And loosely in the gold,
Now worn, but bright otold,
The blackened pearl remained.

Then pressed I closer to her side'/
And stole the kiss. With heart Awake,’
She gave me all I choose to take.
