Too bad!” muttered tile judge u trilie anxious ly, glancing nt his little daughter dubiously. “Oh no, papa, I am not afraid.— Poor Uncle Kulie! Don’t worry about me; Mrs. Smith steeps in the adjoining room, you remem ber.” Bill tlie judge did,worry and fret not only for tlie danger of his daughter and his money, bill blamed himself severely lor his carelessness. IMhi among Ids graver fears for liis brother, the thought ol thieves and burglars * Wonted him. “ I ought, to bn ashamed of my self to have that amount of money in the bouse even-for a day, for the place is so isolated, the servants such arrant cowards, and cousin Sally such a weak help. Only .fancy’s brave little heart is to be depended on. Ilenven bless the child. Now wlmt can lie tlie mat ter with Ituhc I cannot imagine; lie was well enough last week.” Mrs. 'Sallic Smith a forty-sec ond cousin of the judge’s and a confirmed invalid, occupied the room to the right of Jalley’s, while that on the left was her father’s, and in it the iron safe that contain ed the money refored to. “I am afraid—I am a bit ner vous,” mused Janey, looking about her room with a shudder. “The servants are quite a way oil, and cousin Sallic takes so much laud anum that she would never waken. I wonder if X would feel safer with the money under my piliow.” And foolish little Janey, having the combination of the safe, went to it and took out the roll of bills. “Oh, ho,” said a soft voice be hind her. “That is exactly what I want, lint 1 had no idea that you would be so accommodating Do not scream on your life !” And tlie bold fellow actually laughed as lie seized her wrist. Janey did not cry out. She as you thought. How can you feel provoked or nngry ? I am so glad it was not true.” COTTON’ CROP OF 1881-8 A Comiunllv, Eillmtli of Receipts Msile In New York. New York Commorcl.l Advertiser, Wrdnetulsr. In 1879 and 1880, the rccepts at the ports up to January 1, was C.7- 3-10 per cent, of the total receipts. If we accept the theory that this crop has inov:-d in the same pro portion, allowing 750,000 hales for overland and Southern conaum|>- lion, it gives us a crop of 5,050,000 bale-*. But as all the-evidence tends to allow this crop lias been picked and marketed earlier than any pre ceding crop, we will give a table showing Jrcsulls at several estim ates, so each person can adopt such estimate as agrees with his infor mation on the moveuent of tlie crop: halos. If fiS nor coal, rccoirod by Jan. 1, makes crop 0,620,000 If (lltij per cent i-ecoivoil by Jan. 1, makea crop 5,400,000 II 70 per cent, received by Jan. 1, makes crop 0.17H.07O If 70 per cent, received by Jan. ‘ kes makes crop 4,H83,3;t:l And some contend for the largest estimate in the above statement. Another statemeni which shows that the receipts ate very unrelia ble in indicating the total of crops: On flrst day of May, 1880, the re ceipts of the crop of 1879 and 1880 were only 335,000 bales behind the largo crop ot 1880 and 1881. Yet . . ,, ,, , „ it proved to be 844,498 bales less, 'he next morning Ous Rybolt T ,‘e B | IO rtage on Unit day of March of that year is about the same as Imd disappeared. Ten years later Janey Johnson was a lovely, stalely woman. The radient promise of early girlhood was more than fulfilled, while the brave, lender heart was unchanged. The wife of the governor was re ceiving, und her rooms were filled with distinguished guests. The lust coiner was a young mail ol thirty, of commanding presence, whose grave and noble face made him scum somewhat older. After paying bis respects to the hostess lie made his way slowly forward and was met by many smiles and greetings, lie was evidently a great favorite in society. “Oil ! there is General Kybolt, who lias refused the Austrian mis sion, papa says, because lie Ims u better mission among the poor ol New York. Yon know him by reputation, dear; but very few know the Imll of the good tilings lie does with his wealth und tal ents.” The speaker was the gov ernor’s daughter. Janey Johnson turned her love ly hazel eyes toward the pc:ion pointed out—looked onu instant coolly upon him, and her face un derwent a sudden strange change. “|l is—yes, it must be Gus Ry bolt! How marvelous are thy ways, O, God," she breathed. Slowly yet steadily he worked his way to her. Her face was no longer pule, but Hushed, and her upraised eyes show ed pleased recognition. His first words were: “I Imvo kept my irromisc; have you kept yours?” “Yes, oh, yes,” she breathed, then added, “Thank Heaven!” to which lie gave a low “Amen !” To say tlmt tlie judge was aston ished is putting it mildly. To find in Llie eminent editor and reformer liis old—us he siqqiosed—incorri gible (Jus Kybolt, utterly nonpluss ed him. To an old friend lie said confidentially: “Yes, lie; Isiy 1ms turned out a tramp, and the wonder of it is Janey thinks so too,” lie laughed.

This would lie genuine independence. We are glad to known that the grain crops in this section look green and nourishing. Let them lie supplemented with other pro vision crops, so tlmt we can declare our independence of the provision crows of the West. When the farms of the South be come self-sustaining in the matter of provisions, and foreign Govern ments, in retaliation for our prohi bitory tariff, impose high d.itics on provision exports from this coun try, wlmt are tlie Western farmers going to do about it? l’lace a lot ol political skugks on a sound platform nnd uli the disin fectants in the world could not pre vent the whole concern from be coming enveloped with tlie aroma of decayed fragrance.

A crude old farmer, living on tlie line of one of the recent rail road surveys, and who is owner of u barn of largo dimensions, with huge swinging doors on both sides, observed a posse of surveyors busi ly driving a row of stakes through bis premises that extended to tlie very centre of his large barn. Sauntering leisurely toward tlie trespassers with on air savoring somewhat of indignation, he ad dressed tlie leader of tho gang as follows: “Imytn’ cout another railroad ?" “Surveying for one,” was tlie re- ply. "Goin’ threw my barn ?” “Don’t sec how we can possibly avoid it.” “Wa’al now, mister,” said tlie worthy farmer, “I calkcrlatc I’ve got Huinthin’ tew say about that. 1 want you lew understand I’ve got Kumthin’ else tew do besides runnin’ out tew open and shot them doors every time a train • wants tew run threw.” Tlie man who feathers his nest by dislio lorable means deserves to- have tar mixed with the feathers.
