VOLUME VII.
CHEWTON ABBOT.
BY HUGH COStVAY.
Chapter II.
When be saw her letter lying on
his tabic, Frank Abbot feared it could
not be real. It would fade away like
a fairy bank note. No, before him
lay a iew lines in her handwriting :
“My Dear Frank— I have return¬
ed at last. I am at No. 4 Caxton
Place.
“Yours,
Millicent Keene.”
Early as it was he rushed out of
his office, jumped into a cab and sped
away to the address she gave him.
We may pass over the raptures,
the embraces, the renewed vows, the
general delicious character of that
long deferred meeting. We may
suppose the explanation of the lost
letter accounting for the girl’s silence;
and we may pictuie her sympathy
with her lover's misfortunes and her
approval of the manly way in which
he had gone to retrieve them in some
degree. Let us imagine them very,
v»ry happy, sitting hand in-hand in
a room at No. 4 Caxton Place. Milli
cem by the by, looking more beauti¬
ful than ever, her charms not lessen¬
ed by the look of joy in her dark
eyes.
Their first transports are over.
They have descended to mundane
thiogs. In fact, Frank is now telling
her that lie believes he can count on
so many hundreds a year. What does
his darling think ?
Miss Koene purses up her pretty
mouth and knits her brows. Tojadge
by appearances, she might bs the
most mercenary youug woman.
Frank waits her reply anxiously.
“I think we may manage,” she
says. “I have been accustomed to
poverty all my life, you knew.”
Frank Mould have vowed to work
his fingers to the bones before she
should want anything-; but remem¬
bering just in time that Ids profession
worked with the 'ongue instead
the hands, checked himself. He
thanked her with a kiss.
“When shall we be married?” he
said.
She looked up at him shyly.
“Would you think it very dreadful
if I said the sooner the better ? In
fact, Frank, I have come from Aus¬
tralia to marry you. If you had for¬
gotten me,I should have gone straight
back.”
“Next week ?” asked Frank, scarce
ly believing his own happiness. “Will
next week be too soon ? One advan¬
tage of being poor aud living in lodg¬
ings is lhat we can be married with¬
out any bother ‘about a house. »> >
Millicent gave him to understand
that next week would do. She was
staying with some distant relatives.
No one’s consent had to be asked.
She had told her father all. The day
Frank chose she would be bis wife.
“How is your father ? I forgot
Lo ask,’’ said Frank.
“Much the same as ever,” answer¬
ed Millicent in a way w hich inferred
that. Mr. Keene’s struggles to redeem
fortune were as great as before.
Then she dismissed Frank until to
morrow, Hc went home walking on
air, and, like a dutiful son, wrote to
Mrs. Abbot, telling her that Millicent
had r turned, and next, week would
marry him. Mrs. Abbott’s reply may
be here :
“My Dear Frank— I say nothing.
I am too much horrified. If any
young man was ever called upon to
marry money and build up the fallen
fortunes of a family, it is you. My
last hope is gone. The obstinacy of
your character I know too well. If
I thought 1 could turn you from your
purpose, I would come and kneel at
your feet. If I knew Miss Keene’s
address, I would make one last ap¬
peal to her. She, I believe, was a
sensible young woman.
“Your affectionate
Mother.
CONC 1 .C 6 ION.
’
Frank laughed , at the , idea of . Mrs. , r „
Abbot kneGinp at his feet, and had
I not the least intention of sending
: I
Millicent’s address.
He saw little of any one for the
next few days except Millicent ,,
:
CONYERS, ROCKDALE CO., GA., JULY 25, 1884.
poor friend, Mr. John Jone 3 , called
several times, but each time found
him absent.
“Your master is neglecting his bu
siness,” he said sternly to Frank’s
small clerk.
“Got something pleasanter to at¬
tend to,” said the youth with a wink.
He was a sharp lad, and able to
form bis own opinions.
One day toward the end of the
week Mr. Jones did succeed in catch
ing his young friend, and, moreover,
in smoking the whole of a long cigar j
iu his society.
“Look here, Abbot,” he said,
“what’s up with you ? Are you go
ing to be married ?”
“Yes,” said Frank, “I am.”
“Thought so,” said Mr. Jones.
“When?”
“Next Tuesday,” answered Frank
as laconicill} r as his strange friend.
“Girl got money?”
“No ; poorer than I am.”
“That’s bad. Tell me all about it.”
Every man in Frank’s plight likes
a friend to unburden his heart to; so
Mr. Jones bad the whole history of
his love affair, from the moment his
mother intervened down to the pres¬
ent bappy time. Frauk waxed so
eloquent that his friend’s eyes glis¬
tened, aud when the history was fin¬
ished, he grasped the young man’s
hand and wished him good wishes
which were certainly heartfelt.
“I have a favor to ask,” he said, in
a very humble way, quite different
from his usual energetic styleof talk¬
ing. “I haven’t known you long, so
it’s presumption on my part. But
I’ve grown very fond of you. May I
come to the church and see you mar*
ried ?”
“You may be best man, if you like;
or you can give the bride away. It
will save us having recourse to the
sexton. Only one condition, though,”
continued Frank, struck by n sudden
thought: “that is, you don’t go ma¬
king absurb presents.”
“I must give yousomething.”
“Give me a box of cigars then.’’
“Very well,” said Mr. Jones. But
you’re distinguishly proud.j
So it was settled. To Frank’s
great relief—for be disliked paining
the man by refusing anything—Mr.
Jones brought him a box of his big
cigars, and on the Tuesday morning
accompanied him to the quiet town
church, where in due tjme Millicent
appeared, accompanied by her dis¬
tant relative. Mr. John. Jones acted
in his two fold capacity with great
decorum. Frank had laughingly
told Millicent of the strange arrange¬
ment he had made. She raised no
objection. “What does it matter,”
she said, “so long as we are really
married?” So, when the clergyman
asked who gave this woman, etc.,
Mr. Jones stepped forward and per¬
formed the office. When the cere
mony was over, and the happy pair
stepping into the carriage, thinking,
no doubt, his services entitled him to
some reward, he kissed the bride on
her forehead—a proceeding which
rather staggered Frank, although, as
Millicent did not seem annoyed, he
said
“That old Jones is a strange fel¬
low,” be said, as Millicent and he
were safely ensconced in the brougk
am.
“Yes. How long have you known
him?”
“Only a week or two—quite a
chance acquaintance.”
“Chance acquaintances are not to
be depended upon,” said Mrs. Frank
Abbott, sententiously.
Then, as was but natural, they
talked of other things, and dismissed
Mr. John Jones from their happy
minds.
During the last week they had held
many debates as to where they
should spend the honeymoon. As
yet they had only partially settled
the important point. By Millicent’s
express wish, the first week was to
be passed at Clifton. “Dear old
rum.nnt’’ C.Jcon. she she said. earn “We e met there
,
first; remember that, sir J I rank
did not particularly want to go to
Ciifton, but he yielded without a
or Ireland afterward, w as to be de¬
cided at their leisure. So the brough¬
am dtove to Paddington, and Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Abbot took the train
for the West. -
They spent five bappv days at Clif¬
ton ; although they knew the sceneiy
by heart, it looked more beautiful j
than ever under the present auspices ’ |
Then Frank began to talk about go¬
ing elsewhere; but M.llicenl seemed
in no hurry to make a move. “I
wonder, Frank,” she said one even*
ing, “you don’t go over and have a
look at your old home.
“1 haven’t the heart to go,” sighed
Frank. “I might have gone myself;
but I can’t stand it with you. I shall
he thinking all the while how you
would have graced it.’’
“Who lives there now ?’’
“A Mr. Tompkinson—a London
merchant.”
“I should so like to see the place,
Frank! Do take me to-morrow.”
Frank, who, in truth; was longing
to have a look at the old place, con¬
sented. They decided to go the next
day. “We will have a carriage, and
drive,” said Frank.
“What extravagance !” said Mill!
cent.
“Never mind. I shall only be
married once. When our honeymoon
is over we will go in lor strict econo¬
my.”
Millicent agreed to this. So a oai
riage was hired the next morning,
and they started for Frank’s ances¬
tral home.

The Grape Worm.
It is within a comparatively few
years that the Western vineyardist
found they had an insect which
served tlieir grapes much in the same
manner that the codling moth does
the apples; the caterpillar or “worm”
living within the green fruit, ar.d de¬
stroying it. It has on this account
been called the “grape codling,” but
is more generally known as the grape
berry moth.
When the grapes are examined
early in July, a small spot bill be
found where the worm entered. If
a grape thus marked is opened, there
will be found within a small white
caterpillar, with a cinnamon colored
head, which feeds upon the pulp of
the berry, and usually eats out the
contents of the seeds. If one grape
is not not enough, it fastens the re¬
mains of that to a sound one, by
means of silken threads, and makes
its way into the second berry. The
result is that the berries thus attack¬
ed shrivel and die.
The worm is vevy active, and when
the fruit is disturbed it will wriggle
out of it, aud let itself down by its
silken thread. At maturity it is olive
green or dark brown, with a honey
yellow head, and it then leaves the
ruined grape to seek a place on the
leaves of the vine, where it forms its
cocoon. Having selected a spot, it
spins a covering of silk over it, and
then cuts out an ovai flap, which isal
tached on one side, as if hinged; this
flap is rolled over, its free edge fas¬
tened to the leaf, thus forming a
shelter, within which it in two days
turns to a chrysalis. The cocoon is
sometimes made by cutting two
pieces and joining them together in
the middle.
Tbe insect has been especially de¬
structive in Ohio, where one year it
destroyed about half the grapes in ,
tbe vineyards on the lake shore; it ie
also abundant in Illinois and Missou
n, attacking in preference the grapts
with the most tender skins. As the
last broeds pass their winter in their
cocoons on the leaves, it-is evident
that raking up and burning the fallen
leaves will do much to diminish this

Yengan Rice.
John F. West, of Fayette, Miss.,
writes to a Southern journal: In the
spring of 1882 I received from Prof.
Steele, of Mobile, about two ounces
of upland rice to experiment with in
this latitude. This variety was call
ed the “Yengen rice, from the State
of Yen gen, Chinese Empire, it hav¬
ing been brought from that country
by Bishop Marvin, while on his trav
els in the “East by way of the West.”
After giving it a trial, Prof. Steele
noticed that it grow splendidly on
the uplands and that it displayed
several qualities of decided value. It
was earlier in ripening than the Hon¬
duras or any of our varieties of up¬
land rice. The grain was much
whiter and hulled more easily than
any other variety he had ever seen.
It stood drought better, with no blast¬
ing worthy of mention, and the yield
was immense. I selected a piece of
high ridge clay land, prepared as for
corn and well pulverized. I was
careful to drop only from three to
four grains in a hill, about 1 U or 12
inches apart in the drill, to make my j
limited supply of seed go as l’ar as |
possible. Gullit ated as corn, except :
that I used my cultivator more often j
to keep down weeds and vines, and j
in the latter part of the summer bar- j
vested considerably more than a
bushel of nice clean rough rice to
each ounce of seed planted. On land
capable of producing good corn it
will give a yield of from sixty to
eighty bushels to the acre. I am
surprised that upland rice is not
more generally cultivated, as it cer¬
tainly can be made a profitable crop
even if there are no rice mills in the
immediate vicinity. It is easily
handled and can be shipped to mar¬
ket in the rough. It is excellent
stock feed and a valuable auxiliary
to the corn crop. The straw being
very soft and spongy, is highly re¬
lished by stock. Besides, it is use¬
ful in many ways on the farm, ma¬
king excellent horse-collars, mat¬
tresses, etc. I think it will grow
and can be made profitable in any of
the Southern or Middle States; in
fact, anywhere that there is a season
of five months without frost, A
spring frost does not injure it. in the
least, as the young plants may be
nipped off by the frost, and then
spring up from the roots and do well,
and probably better than if they had
n evev beep bitten.
Words of Wisdom.
Entertain no thought that will |
blush in words. j
A cheerful countenance is the in- j
dex of a good disposition. ;
Memory is the granary of the.
mind and of experience.
Avoid as a serpont him who writes
impetuously, yet speaks politely.
Keep thy heart, and then it will be
easy for tliee to keep thy tongue.
Laziness grows on people. It be¬
gins in cobwebs, and ends in iron
chains.
There is no malady or sickness
more severe than to be dii-contented
with one’s lot.
The most important lesson of
morality is this: Never do an inju¬
ry to any one.
Aneermay glance into t tie breast
of a wise man, but it rests only in the
bosom of a fool.
Remarkable Climate.
Remarkable climate this, isn’t it ?
