VOLUME VII.
CHEWTON ABBOT
BY HUGH COXWAY.
Chapter II.
Five long years have passed by.
Frank Abbot is now a barrister of
three years’ standing. He
hard, is frequently on circuit,
and if as yet he lias not achieved
any brilliant forensic triumph, lie is
neither brieflless nor without hope.
Some small cases havo been intrus¬
ted to him, and he finds the number
of these slowly but surely inercas
ing, and knows that if the opportu¬
nity comes, and if, when it does
come, he may be able to seize it and
make the most of it, success may
soon be his. Even now he makes
enough to supply the modest wants
to which he has tutored himself.
But for some time after the last of
his little capital had vanished, he had
been hardly pressed. Indeed, in or¬
der to live at all, he had been com¬
pelled to accept some aid from his
parents’ reduced means. They gave
this readily enough, as, with all
their faults, they loved their son.
Even to this day Frank looks hack
with a shudder upon one or two
years of his life.
The five years have c Hanged him
from a hoy to a man. He is as
handsome as ever, but his look is
more serious; his features express
even more character. He has given
up all dreams of the woolsack, hut
is conscious of possessing fair abili¬
ties, a good address, a commanding
presence and a great deal of ready
self-confidence. He feels that in a
few years’ time he may have a home
to share, if the woman ho loves is
still willing to share it. He has not
again written to her. He has heard
nothing from her, although the time
by which he promised to claim hei
has long passed. He is, however,
that as soon as he sees the
future fairly promising, he will seek
her and learn whether she is still
true to him, or whether the sweetest
episode of his life must be linked
with the memory of a woman’s faith¬
lessness and inconstancy. He sighs
he thinks of the time which lias
elapsed since she waved him that
last farewell at Plymouth. “She
may be married years ago,” he says,
“and have three or four children by
now. ” Then he thinks of her stead
fast eyes, and knows that he wrongs
her—blames himself for his mis
trust. To sum up, Frank Abbot’s
constancy remains firm; hut he is
obliged to do what thousands of otli
er must do_hope for better days,
w’orking meanwhile with might and
main to bring the dawn of those bet
ter days near.
Does he regret the loss of bis for¬
tune much? Of course he does, be¬
ing neither a fool nor of a superhu¬
man nature. Many a day, as ae sits
in wig and gown iu the stifling court
listening to learned arguments on
cases in which he has not the reiiio
test interest, his soul longs for a da>
with the pheasants, a run with the
Duke’s hounds, or a ride round the
home farm; and he anathematizes ail
jotaHtock banks as soundly a, Lis
lather may bo supposed to have
done. But, nevertheless, Frank is
not a soured man, He is somewhat
grave snd self-contained, but pleas
ant compauy enough to the few men
whom he chooses to call his triends.
He has not been near Chewton
Hall since the family downfall. It
had been bought, wit h a great part
of the furuitnre, by a rich London
merchant, whose name, although he
had heard it at the time of the sale,
had slipped from his mind. Frank
cared little who held it. He knew it
is only in romances that a ruined
family regains possession of its king'
dom. Some day he intended to run
down have a lock at the old place
which he had loved so well; although
he feared the sight would not im¬
prove the tenor of his mind or make
him less inclined to rail at fortune.
Just about this time Frank made
a new acquaintance. It was long va¬
cation. The Lord Chief Justice was
yachting; his brother Judges,
CONYERS, ROCKDALE CO., GA., JULY 18 , 1 SS 4 .
Queen's counsel and learned leaders,
were recruiting their jaded energies
as it best pleased them; gay juniors
had thrown their wigs into their
boxes and veeve away on various
i, oliday pursuits. Frank, however,
who had recently succeeded in get¬
ting some occasional work on a jour¬
nal, and who hoped to get more, was
still in London. One m orning a
gentleman who wished to See Mr.
Abbot was shown into his chamber.
The visitor was a tall, middle-aged
man, strongiy built, well dressed,
and with pleasant features. He
looked like one who had led a hard
life, and lines on his brow told of
trouble. His. hands were large and
brown—it was evident they had uot
been idle in their way. Not per¬
haps, quite a gentlema n, as we con¬
ventionally use or abuse that word,
but a noticeable, out-of-tlie-common
man. Me gave Frank a sharp, quick
glance, as if trying to guage his in¬
tellect and powers. Apparently sat
isfied, he took the chair offered him
and explained his errand. He had a
law suit pending, and wished Mr.
Abbot to conduct the case.
Frank interposed smilingly, and
told liis new client that it was eti¬
quette for his instructions to come
through a solicitor. He explained
that a barrister and the man whose
cause he pleaded must communicate
through a third party.
H s visitor apologized tor bis ig¬
norance about such matters, and said
he would see his solicitor.
However, after the apology was
accepted, instead of bowing
out, Mr. John Jones—tor by that
name he called himself—entered in
to a general kiud of conversation
witn Frank. He spoke easily and
pleasantly on a variety of topics, and
when at last he left the room, shook
hands most cordially with the
man and hoped he should meet him
soon.
“Wonder who he is?” said Frank
laughing over the sudden
ness this stranger had exhibited.
“Anyway, I hope he’ll make his so¬
licitors send me that briet.”
However, no brief came; but tor
the next few days Frank Abbot was
always stumbling across Mr. Jones.
He met him in the street as he went
to and from his chambers. Mr.
Jones always stopped him, shook
hands, and as often as not, turned
and walked beside him. Frank be¬
gan to like the man. He was very
amusing, and seemed to know every
country under the sun. Indeed, lie
declared he was a greater stranger to
London than to any other capital.
He was a great smoker, and as soon
as he found that Frank did not ob¬
ject to the smell of good tabacco iD
his chambers, scarcely a day went
by without his paying him a visit
and having a long chat over a cigar
Frank was bound to think that Mr.
John Jones had taken a great li¬
king to him. Perhaps the inau
wanted a friend, as he said he kne.w
no one in London, and no one knew
him.
So young Abbot drifted into inli¬
macy with this lonely man. and soon
4 nlte looked forward to thei sound of
his ciiee.ful voice and ih« fragrance
of those particularly good cigars he
smoked. He even, at Mr. Jones urs
gent request, ran down to the seaside
tor a couple of days with him, and
feund the lime pass yery pleasantly
in his society.
Although the young man was very
reticent on the subject of ms family
misfortune, Mr. Jones had somehow
arrived at the conclusion that he was
not rolling in wealth. He made no
secret of the fact that be himselt
was absurdly rich.
“I say, Abbot,” he remarked one
day’, “if you want any money to
push yourself up with, let me know.”
Perhaps Mr. Jones fancied that
Judgeships were to be bought.
“I don’t wany any,” said Frank,
shortly.
“Don’t take offence. I said, it you
do. Your pride—tue wois p*r
you. It’s very hard a man can on
lv help a fellow like you by dying
and leaving 6 him money. I don’t
want ^ to die just . , yet.” „
Frank laughed,
‘‘I want no money left me. I
shouldn’t take yours if you left it to
me.”
“Well, you’ll have to some day,
you see.’’
Then Mr. John Jones lit another
cigar from the slump of the <*!d one
and went his way, leaving Frank
more puzzled than ever with his new
friend.
But the next clay an event occur¬
red which drove Mr. John Jones,
money, and everything save one
thing out of his head—Millicent
Keene was in England, in London.
Nobth and South.— The Indus¬
trial South, of Richmond, Va., says:
“The resources of the South are at¬
tracting Northern capital, and North¬
ern capital brings along with it
Northern men. These men see for
themselves, and, having interests in
the South, they soon find, naturally
that in their Southern associations
they have Southern sympathies too.
They learn much of truth and they
unlearn much of falsehood as to the
characteristics of the Southern peo¬
ple. They soon become defenders
of the South. And they are the host
defenders the South can have, for
they are partial witnesses made im¬
partial by a removal of traditional
prejudices and delusions through the
agency of their own intelligence per¬
tinently applied in practical inquiry
and observation.”

I11TS OF SCIENCE.
German ingenuity has produced an
explosive for mining purposes or
firearms from coal tar. This result¬
ant is a mixture of saltpetre, chlo¬
rate of potash, and a solid hydro¬
carbon, the latter being paraffine, as
phaltum or pitch.
An early human skull has been
found near Prague in a bed of chalk
from which the tusk of a mammoth
had been dug a few days previously.
The skull has an extremely low fore¬
head and a great developement of
the ridges.
Mr. Bradlee, an architect, has late¬
ly proven beyond all dispute that
Portland cement does expand. He
filled three glass bottles with cement
and closely sealed them. One ol the
bottles burst in two days, another in
eight days and the third in ten days.
A committee of the Royal Medi¬
cal and Chirurgical Society of Lon¬
don, appointed to examine the mi
cro-organisms forwarded hv Dr. A.
Strass, of the French Dholora Com¬
mission, reports ail inability to dis¬
cover anything peculiar in them, as
they are identical with germs com¬
monly seen in ordinary diarrhoea.
A writer in the British Journal
says : The best remedy for cramp—
the simplest and most efficacious that
I know of—is a band of cork. It is
easily made by cutting a small new
wine cork into thin slices, which
must be sewn close together upon
ribbon or tape an inch wide. It can
be tied around any part affected and
worn during the night.
Investigations concerning the ef¬
fect of different forms of artificial il¬
lumination on the health show that
the tallow candle is the most un¬
wholesome agent and the electric
light the best. The incandescent
electric lamp produces only about
onethirteentli as much heat as the
tallow candle, while it gives out no
carbonic acid or water. One gas-jet
in a room is said to vitiate the air
as much as six persons.
L. A. Johnston writes the South¬
ern Cultivator as follows : I. notice
in the May number ot The Cultiva¬
tor, that you ask some one to tell
Mrs. Pruett how to make milk stop
foaming while churning. Put the
churn in a tub of. hot water and
churn fast, or put boiling water iD
the nulk, churning rapidly while do¬
ing so, and when it feels warm to
the hand, stop the hot water. The
cream won’t foam when the milk gets
warm &nd & little hot water won’t
hurt. Old housekeepers say hot wa
ter ma kes firm butter even in the
summer. When we set the churn in
hot water we churn it so until the
butter comes-
NUMBER 19.
Improved Methods on the Farm.
There are very few farms in this
country, that have ever been made
to produce over fifty per centum of
their capacity, and very few farmers
capable of making even 100 aceesdo
more than this. A vast majority of
those who own more would be ben¬
efited by selling the surplus and us¬
ing the proceeds as a capital to im¬
prove the remaining acres, and by
purchasing better stock.
The Island of Jersey is said to
maintain one animal for every two
acres in the Island, including roads,
fences, and the ground occupied by
buildings. Their farms average ten
acres. In a very few instance* in
this country one animal has been
supported to each improved acre.
This proves what is possible under
the best management. The best of
talent; the intensest study, the most
knowledge and the best business
methods should be, and will be de¬
voted to agriculture for years to
come. The professions are overstock¬
ed. Doctors are without patients,
and lawyers without clients, as most
of them ought to be ; but good land
is cheap and plenty. Intelligent la¬
borers on the farm are scarce and
better paid than any other class.
Farming has been accepted as a
last resort for those unable to live
by their wits, or good enough for
such as were considered incapable of
or indifferent to thorogh culture. The
mentally active boy has taken a med
ical course or a law course of lec¬
tures after completing his education
at the academy or college. These
avenues are now full to repletion.
They are in great need of thorough
drainage. Now that farmers begin
to see that they need more culture,
more knowledge and better business
methods to attain any standing in
their own business, and to fill credi¬
tably such public stations as their
numbers and their occupation entitle
them to, let them win back their
sons from the shops and offies to the
farms, where all of their intelligence
can be more profitably employed.
Let them send their sons to the ag¬
ricultural college instead of the med¬
ical school ; let them attend a course
of lectures on botany and chemistry
instead of law, and they may possi¬
bly do something to make farming
more attractive as well station as profitable, in life
and take and hold that
to which the poet’s fancy has assign¬
ed them.
Sunlight In Stables.
We tried an experiment, some
years since, to test the effect of ab¬
sence of light up\i a calf. We had
two deep-red calves of the same age
(60 days), one weighing 180 lbs. and
the other 182 lbs. The latter he
placed in a dark room, with a
through that could be filled by a
spout through a partition. The oth¬
er was confined in the same amount
of space, but in full light, and both
were fed exactly alike for the next
three months. The object was to
test the effect of light upon such a
growing animal. At the end of the
time, the one iu the light weighed
430 lbs. and the one in the dark
weighed 360 lbs.; and its eo’or had
faded to a very pale, dirty red. Its
eys were so much affectod when ad¬
mitted to the light, that i‘ kept them
closed most of the time, lor the first
week or two. The two calves were
kept on together, but the one trou
the dark room never fully recovered
from this three months of darkness.
It never recovered its bright red col¬
or, although the color improved.
Any one who noted these two calves,
during this experiment, would nev r
after doubt the impolicy ot a dark
stable. Sunlight is iudispeusable
to healthy vegetable aud animal life.
Every farmer e«e« his cat and dog
select a belt of sunshine on the flour
to lie and bask in; and if he will
watch his cattle when turned out, he
will find them seeking at once the
sanny side of the barn yard. Aud
with all these indications before his
eyes, still the farmer keeps his ani¬
mals in a dark statue, much to their
discomfort and his pecuniary loss.
We do not, of course, include all
farmers in this statement, lor a
small minority fully understand the
importance ot sunlight in stables,
and make ample provision for its
introduction.

HINTS FOR JULY.
The following sensib'e remarks
were written for the Mirror and
Fanner:
Here we are again, with the grass
crop waiting for ns. It is very im¬
portant to finish the hoeing in good
shape and kill all the weeds before
we leave them, for it is hard to get
back to hoeing after we begin hay¬
ing; but some of that June grass has
got its growth, and the sorrel on
that knoll where the clover died out
is going to seed, and we begin to be
in a hurry. In such a case we must
bear in mind that we can do only
one thing at a time ; decide which is
the most important, keep cool and
busy and we can do a great deal.
Fretting is a dead loss in many
respects. It destroys our pleasure,
injures our health, makes it unpleas¬
ant tor all around us, and we cans
uot do as much work. When any¬
thing happens that needs immediate
attention see to it and let other
things go; and call that a part of the
business.
Things will wear out or break
sometime, and wo know it; and if we
are not prepared for it. iu mind and
material the fault is our own and we
should not make others urteorafotta¬
ble for our failings. If the pigs get
out, it is as much tun for the hoys to
orive them back agaiu as it would
be to chase rabits iu the woods, it
ibey onJv think so.
It is fashionable for agricultural
writers to begin alnut the first June
and continue till the last of July
telling ns to put in a little more lod
d; r corn, or millet, or turnips; scrape
over the baruyard and get a little
more manure, and put in a few more
beans, as if we did not know when it
was time lo plant and time to stop
planting. There is little danger but
we shall plant as much as we shall
get time to hoe thoroughly; and a
patch of turnips over-run with
weeds and not thinned looks much
worse than the ground would if let
aione, and the time is lost besides,
ff you have planted enough, don’t
plant any more. Take care of what
you have growing, and keep in mind
"11 the time that providing absorb¬
ents to save the manure is the most
important work to he done at any
season; for it is less waste to let hay
stand a few days longer than it is to
let the liquid manure run into the
ground. and
Take a good rest at noon do
your chores before dark. That is
what these long days are made for.
Take off your sweaty clothes and
take a bath at night and you will
rest better and let! better next day.
While you are haying you cau be
planning what to do next; but be
sure to arrange for a rest and vaca¬
tion of a few days for your self and
family. A change of thought and
scenery is so desirable that people
often weary themselves more to get
a day off than they would to stay at
home, and then Borne one, too often
the woman of the house, must stay
at home and look out for things. A
better way would be to club with a
few of your friends or neighbors, and
get a tent and camp out a few days
in some fdeasant spot near home
where all could enjoy it, and all help
look out for things at home.
Early cut hay is more easily in¬
jured by wet than later, after the
juice has hardened in the stalk,
which fact ought to show that it is
more digestible cut at that time. I
have no fears that the dew of one
night will injure hay. It changes
the color a little, but hay that has
been exposed to a dew or a light
shower smells sweeter and is rel¬
ished better by stock than hay of the
same lot that was secured entirely
dry. The fact that it gives offisir
odor in the air has no more signifi*
canoe than the fact that fruit or any
other substance can be smelled while
drying. Don’t stop for foggy morn¬
ings till you get as much down as
you cau handle. It will take no
harm till it wilts and then it can lie
turned over or raked. Be sure and
