VOLUME VII.
CHEWTON ABBOT.
BY HUGH CONWAY.
Chapter II.
He was a handsome young fellow,
and without a cent to his name
might have given many a wealthy
competitor long odds in the race for
a girl’s heart. Tall and broad
shouldered, clever face, with deep
set eyes, large chin and firm lips.
He sat his horse gracefully, looking
every inch a gentleman and an En¬
glishman. Not, one would say, the
man to win a woman’s love and
throw it aside at the bidding of fath¬
er or mother. Not the man to do a
thing hastily and repent the deed at
his leisure. Rather a man who
when once engaged in a pursuit
would follow it steadfastly to the
end, whatever that end might be.
It was scarcely right that Millicent
Keene should allow fear to mingle
with her grief at the approaching
long separation from her lover. She
should have looked into that hand¬
some, powerful face and understood
that years would only mould the boys
intention into the man’s determina¬
tion.
Naturally he was at the present
moment rather down hearted. His
mother having learned hi s secret,
had refused him sympathy or aid.
Too well he knew she was to be
swayed neither by entreaty nor ar¬
gument.
He was now riding over to Clifton
to reiterate his love to Millicent and
to consult as to future steps. As he
passed the carriage be wondered
what had brought his mother in that
direction. She had not mentioned
her intention of going to the town,
nor had she asked for his escort as
usual. Could it be possible that she
had driven over to visit Millicent?
If so, he knew it boded ill; so, prick¬
ing on as fast as he could, he reached
Clifton just as the girl had grown
more calm and had washed away the
traces of her recent tears.
Frank was terribly upset by her
recital of the events of the morning.
Although she did not repeat the
whole conversation, he knew his
mother well enough to be able to
supply what Millicent passed light¬
ly over. The proposed separation
was a thunderstroke to him. In vain
he entreated the girl to reconsider
her determination. The promise
was made, and her pride alone would
insure her keeping it. Of course
Frank vowed, after the usual manner
of lovers, that love would grow
stronger in absence; and as he thor¬
oughly believed what he vowed, his
vows were very consoling to the girl.
He declared he also would go to
Australia, marry Millicent, and take
to sheep farming, leaving the pater¬
nal acres to shift for themselves. All
this and many other wild things the
young fellow said; but the end was
a sorrowful acquiescence in the sep¬
aration, tempered by the firm resolve
of claiming her in four years’ time in
spite of any home opposition. Hav¬
ing settled this the heir of the Ab¬
bots rode home in open rebellion
against bis parents.
This they were quite prepared for,
and had, like sensible people, made
up their minds to endure his on¬
slaught passively. His mother made
no reply to his reproaches; his father
took no notice of his implied threats;
but both longed for the time to come
when Miss Keene would sail to dis
tant shores and the work of supplant¬
ing her might begin.
About one thing Frank was firm,
and Millicent, perhaps, did not try
to dissuade him from it. Until they
were bound to part, he would see her
every day. Mr. and Mrs. Abbot
knew r why his horse was ordered
every morning, and whence that
horse bore him at eve; but they said
nothing.
The fatal day came soon enough.
Frank went down to Plymouth to see
the very last of his love; and the
mighty steamship Chimborazo bore
away across the deep seas one of the
sweetest and truest girls that ever
won a man’s heart. A week after
j she sailed Frank Abbot started on
CONYERS, ROCKDALE CO., GA., JULY 11, 1884 .
bis continental tour.
“I don’t care much about it,” he
said to himsel dolefully enough; “but
it may help to make some of the time
pass quicker. Four years, my dar¬
ling. How long it seems.”
“He will see the world,” said Mrs.
Abbot, “and learn that a pretty face
is not everything.”
“He will fall in and out of love
with a dozen girls before he returns,”
said Mr. Abbot, cynically.
It has been before stated that for
many years there bad been little
change in either the possessions or
the position of the Abbots of Chew
ton Abbot; but, like other people,
they had occasional windfalls. Some
years after M r. Abbott succeeded to
the estate a new branch of a large
railway passed through an outlay¬
ing part of his land, and he who
made it a boast of never selling or
mortgaging a single acre was com¬
pelled by the demands of public con¬
venience and commerce to part with
what the railway wanted. Of course
he obtained a good round sum as
compensation. This lay for a long
time at his banker’s, waiting for any
contiguous land which might come
into the market. After a while, as
no fields which he wished to add to
his own were open to buyers, at his
wife’s suggestion lie sought for ano¬
ther and more profitable investment,
and in an evil hour became the pro¬
prietor of fifty shares in a bank whose
failure has now become historical.
He bought these aliares at a pre¬
mium; while he held them, they
went to a much higher premium, but
no doubt the same tenacity which
led him to cling to his acres made
him keep to the same investment.
The high rate of interest also was
very useful, and kept another horse
or two in the stables.
We can all remember the aston¬
ishment we felt that black day when
the news of the stoppage of that par¬
ticular bank was flashed from end to
end of the kingdom, and how, after¬
ward, the exposure of the reckless
conduct of its directors, and of the
rotten state in which the concern had
been for years, sent a cold shudder
dow n the back of every holder of
bank stock.
Mr. Abbot was not a man of bu¬
siness. He did not at once realize
what being the registered owner of
these fifty shares meant. He de¬
nounced the roguery of the directors,
and vowed that if ever again he had
money to spare, into land it should
go, nowhere else. He had an idea
that no more than the money which
he had invested would be lost; but
w’hen, after a few days, be gathered
from the newspapers the true mean¬
ing of unlimited liability; his heart
grew sick within him. The rental of
his estate was about 6,000 a year; so,
when call after call was made on the
shareholders, Wm. Abbot knew that
he was a ruined man, and lamented
his folly for not having entailed the
estates. Lands, house, furniture,
plate, all came to the hammer, and
so far as county people and landed
gentry, the Abbots were extinct.
Mrs. Abbot had a jointure of some
500 a year, on w r hich the unfortunate
couple were fair to live as best they
could. They took a house at Wey¬
mouth, and in that retired watering
place mourned their woes in genteel
obscurity.
So Frank Abbot came back from
Switzerland to begin the world on
his own account, with nothing but a
college degree, a perfect constitution,
and a few hundred pounds scraped
together by the sale of his personal
effects. How should he earn his liv¬
ing? He w r as sorely tempted to emi¬
grate. He bad the frame and mus¬
cles for hard work, and out-door life
would suit him. Yet he shrank from
the idea of giving up as beaten in his
native land. Other men had made
their way; why should not he? He
felt a consciousness of a certain abil¬
ity which necessity might force into
full play.
His mother suggested the church.
“A clergyman of good family can
always marry a rich wife, and that
you are bound to do now.”
Frank shrugged his broad shoul¬
ders and thought sadly of his prom-
ised wife, so many thousand miles
away. Eventually, he decided to
read for the bar. He knew it would
be slow and dreary work to win suc¬
cess there; that for many years he
must be prepared to endure penury,
but a career might be made, If a
hundred fail, one succeeds; why
should he not be that one?
Millicent must be told the bad
news. He had no right to keep a
girl’s love during all the years
which must elapse before be could
offer a home. He must at least re¬
lease her from her vows. If—and
as he believed it would be—she re¬
fused to be released, they must wait
and hope. Now that the reality of
marrying on nothing came home to
him, he saw what it meant—what
misery it must entail. “Now that
the earning his own living, of which
he had spoken so bravely when there
was no need of his doing so, was
forced upon him, he became quite
aware of the sacrifices he must make
He w r as 110 desponding coward, and
indeed had little doubt as to his ulti¬
mate success. He felt that he could
bear hardship himself, but he could
not bear it if Millicent must also
share it. At any rate it was right
she should know the change in his
fortunes. So he wrote a few words:
“My Darling —We are all ruined.
I am going to try and make a living
as a barrister. Of course I must now
release you from every promise.”
He signed his name, but before
sealing the letter could not help ad¬
ding:
“But I love you more than ever.”
Then he sent the letter to Milli
cent’s aunt, and begged that it might
be forwarded to her niece.
That letter never reached its des
nation. Whether it was mislaid or
misdirected; whether a mail-bag was
lost either on the voyage or on the
long land journey; whether Miss
Keene’s aunt, who had learned what
reverses had befallen the Abbots,
simply threw it in the fire, will never
be known, All that can be said is,
Millicent never received it; and af¬
ter months had passed, Frank, who
was looking eagerly for the overdue
answer, grew very miserable, and
began to doubt the love of woman.

DOMESTIC RECIPES.
Queen Fritters.—Boil one pint of
milk, and stir in flour enough to
make a stiff batter. Let it cool, then
beat in five eggs, one at a time, and
fry in hot lard.
Beet Salad.—One quart of boiled
beet, chopped, one quart of raw cab¬
bage, one small teaspoonful of black
pepper, one cup of horse radish, two
cups of brown sugar, one teaspoontul
of salt, cover the whole with vinegar.
This is excellent with meats.
Every cook knows how disagrees
ble it is to have the nutmeg or cin¬
namon which is added to cream aud
sugar for pudding sauce rise to the
top of the sauce; and, when it is
served, to have the first spoonful ta¬
ken out too highly flavored, and the
rest without taste. To remedy this,
mix the nutmeg or cinnamon with
sugar before pouring on the cream ;
it will then be gradually distributed
through the sauce. Pour the cream
on a little at a time, and the spice
will tend to dissolve.
Mrs. Case's Spanish Cream.—Set
a pint of milk and a fourth of a box
of gelatine, in a dish, into a kettle
of water. Stir It frequently while
the gelatine dissolves. Beat the
yolks of three eggs and a cupful of
sugar together; and when the milk is
hot, and the water boils, stir in the
mixture, and set back the kettle, and
keep stirring until the water boils
again. Set your dish on the table,
and stir in the whites of the eggs
beaten to a stiff froth; then pour it
at once into your mould to cool.
Serve cold as a dessert for dinner, or
at your tea-table. This is nice.
A good addition to scup is made
by entting bread into little squares
and frying them in butter till they
are browned on every side. About
three minutes before the soup is
taken from fire add the bread, so that
it will be flavored with the soup, but
will not be soaked so it will crumble.
NUMBER 18 .
THE COUNTRY PIAZZA.
Ella Rodman Church, in Gody’s Lady’s Book.
The piazza, veranda, or porch of a
house can scarcely 1-e called an “in¬
terior ;” but to the country house it
is really an outdoor parlor in warm
weather, and should be made as at¬
tractive as possible. It is some¬
times so cramped in its proportions
as to offer little opportunity for dec¬
orative improvements—but with a
reasonable amount of space, it can
he made a very delightful adjunct to
the country sitting-room.
If large enough to admit such a
piece of furniture, a settee, or rattan
lounge will be found a most conven¬
ient addition, and a thin, flat cushion
will b« an improvement both in
looks and in comfort. Scarlet is tlie
most effective color for this, as con¬
trasting well with the masses of
green outside. Scarlet painted chairs
have been in vogue tor rural piazzas
for some years past., ami although a
superabundance of the cobr is rath¬
er dazzling, it is toned down by the
background oi'green.
Another pretty device for piazza
furnishing is to make three or more
large pillows of very broad striped
bed ticking, ami cover the blue
stripes alternately with scarlet and
green braid. This gives a Moorish
or Algerian appearance to the cush¬
ions, which are to be piled in a
corner, and in front of ihem may be
spread a cheap Persian or Turkey
mat—or one made of the same inex¬
pensive materials with varied color¬
ing, substantially lined, and edged
with worsted fringe.
A rustic table at one end ol the pi¬
azza to hold newspapers and maga¬
zines, the writing portfolio, or the
basket of crewels, looks cozy and so¬
ciable. A bird house fastened to
one of the pillars and draped with
light vines, is ready ornamental,
and the winged residents, with rest¬
less flashings in and out, and their
funny little airs of importance, form
an endless subject of interest to the
invalid whose sole view of outside
things must be taken from the pi¬
azza.
It sometimes happen that one end
of this roofed balcony is exposed to
a hopeless glare; no friendly trees
stretches forth protecting loughs
across it, no vine weaves a web of
tender gnon from end to end; the
vegetable world, for some occult
reason, avoids it. An awning is the
usual resource iu such a case, but the
striped hood forms only a partial
screen. A more effective one is
formed by making a net work of
heavy twine, or wire, with a square
or diamond shaped opening left to
form a window; at the base of the
net-work plant Cypress and Madeira
vines, and you will have a shade
pleasing and refreshing to the eye,
covered with verdure and bloom, and
one that will admit of the air freely
passing through it.
Hardy vines upon all aides of the
country piazza are taken for granted;
but die selection should be made
with care. For steady wearing qual¬
ities, after it has once decided to live
and grow—and it is somewhat slow
in coming to this decision—nothing
is more satisfactory than the Japans
ess Ivy. The summer foliage is of a
rich, tender green, and the young
leaf-sprays are vt ry fine and beauti¬
ful; while it has additional recoin*
nu-ndation of varied autumn color¬
ing. The Evergreen Honeysuckle is
another desirable vine sor the piazza,
while the large, blue Clematis Jaok
manm is very ornamental. The
three combined will make a delight¬
ful leafy bower.
ADVICETO YOUNG MEN.
President Porter of Yale, recently
gave this sound and wholesome ad¬
vice to the students: “Young men,
you are the architects of your own
fortunes; rely on your own strength
of body and mind. Take for your
star self-reliance. Inscribe on your
banner, Luck is a fool, Pluck is a
hero. Do not take too much advice,
keep at the helm and steer your own
ship, and remember that the art of
commanding is to take a fair share !
of the work. Think well of yourself ;

When the Cows Come Homo.
With klinglo, klankle, kingle.
Far down the dqgky dingle.
The cows are coming home ;
How sweet and clear, and faint, and low,
The airy tinkiings come and go,
Like chi tilings from a far off tower,
Or put’rings of an April shower
That makes the daisies grow ;
Ko-ling. ko-lang, ko-lingle-linglo.
Far down the darkening dingle,
The cows come slowly home.
The old-time friends and twilight plays.
And starry nights and sunny days
Come trooping up tho misty ways,
When the cows come homo.
With jingle, jangle, jingle,
Soft tones that sweetly mingle,
The cows are coming home—
Malvine and Pearl and Florinnel,
Lilly, Lucille and Gretchen Schell,
Queen Bess and Sylph, and Spangled Sue,
Across the fields I hear her •• loo-oo, ”
As she clangs her silver bell.
Go -1 lug, go-lang, go-linglo-dingle.
With faint, far sounds that mingle,
The cows come slowly home.
And mother songs of long gone years,
And baby joys and childish fears.
And youthful hopes and youthful tears.
When tho cows come homo.
With ringle, rangle, ringle,
By twos and threes arid single.
The cows are coming home;
Through vt’let air we see the town,
The summer sun is slipping down.
The maple in tho hazel glade
Throws ’cross tho path a longer shade.
And tho hills are growing brown;
To-ring, to-rang, to-rlngle-ringle,
By threes and fours and single.
The cows come slowly home.
The same sweet sound of wordless psalm.
The same sweet June day rest and calm,
The same sweet smell of buds and balm,
When the cows come home.
With tinkle, tankle, tinkle,
Through fern and periwinkle.
The cows are coming home;
A-loltering in the checkered stream.
Whore the sun-rays glance and gleam,
Clarine, Peachbloom, Phoebe, Phillis,
Stand knee-deep in creamy lilies.
Each wrapt In a drowsy droam;
To-link, to-lank, to-linkle-linkle,
O’er banks with buttercups a-twlnkle,
The cows come slowly home.
And up through memory’s deep ravine
Comes songs of brooks and old-time sheen.
From eresontof the silver queen,
When tho cows come home.
Withklingle, klanglc, klingle.
With loo-oo, and moo-00, and jingle,
The cows are coming homo:
And over from you purpling hill,
Sound plaintive ories of whip-poor-will,
And dew-drops lie on tangled vines.
Through the poplars Venus shines,
And over tho silent mill;
Ko-ling, kolaug, ko-linklo-lingle.
With a ting-a-ling and jiugle,
The cows come slowly home.
Let down tho bars; lot in tho train
Of long gone songs, and flow’rs and rain.
For dear old times come back again,

FORCE VS. REASON.
Florida Journal.
One of the most surprising things
in modern civilization in this free,
Republican country, is the disposi¬
tion among men, while protesting
against any abridgement or refringe
ment of their personal liberties by
the Government, to voluntarily
forge chains of social tyranny and
enslave themselves to secret, oatb
bound ass ociations and irresponsible
organizations.
All over this land, where the rights
and liberties of citizens are more
fully guaranteed and protected than
in any other—where labor is more
fully remunerated and the unfortu¬
nate and dependent are everywhere
secured against want by the most
ample provisions which philanthropy
and Christian civilization can invent,
and where competition in all branch*
es ot business and in all public enter¬
prises is so close as to almost pre¬
clude monopoly—all over the coun¬
try organizations of all the various
classes of our labor are constantly
being effected to subvert the individ¬
ual freedom and render it subservi
ent to despotic dictation. Mechan¬
ics, operatives, laborers and employ¬
ees, all classes combine to force
terms incompatible with the free ex¬
ercise of constitutional rights, and
inconsistent wi;h laws of demand
and supply.
The final result of these organized
conspiracies is always destructive
and subversive of right and justice—
injurious to the originators, dishon-'
oiable and in derogation of law and
the fundamental .principles of Re
publican government. They oppress"
and wrong tho poor and place the
laborer at the mercy of unprincipled
anc j designing men who foster insob-'
urdioat'on and live eff the industry
ot others.-
