The stage stopped at tho porch of the Great Mumpington Hotel; the travellers alighted—amongst them a striking-looking man, in a hand some boat, that, with its length and breadt h of shoulder, iis fur cuffs and fur collars, gave him something of a Russian aspect. He was handsome, elegant, and about thirty years of age. Supper was ready. At the head of the table sat the landlord, who presided with great affability. He spoke to one, and then to the other. There were permanent us well a* transient boarders in the house. One lady, dressed in light silk.^with an elaborate coiffure, Imd a sort of gala air about Lor. “Been to the wedding, Mrs. Cros by?” he said. “And did it go. off well? And was tho bride as pretty and the groom us unimportant u- ttsuitl? A man is never so entirely overlooked as at his own wedding, unless, indeed, his mother is then to wonder why so fine a fellow chosi such a girl.” “He, he!” laughed Mrs. Crosbv “What a man you tiro for jokes. Captain Peeler. “Well, his motliei wasn’t there, I assure you; for sin must be too old to get about, if sheV living. He’s eighty, I urn told. To think of a woman of twenty-fivo tic oeptingsuch an old creature)” “But lie’s rich,” said tho captain. “She’ll bo a darling widow in a yew or so. • One of our belles, sir,” lit said, addressing thestranger of wkon we have spoken. “Miss Beulah Blair, I)u. Bla’r’s only daughter, n pretty a young lady as tho sun shine- on.” Every one at table noticed' llu strangers face as this comtpijmen tion fell on Ins ear. His ruddy col or faded; his eyes dilated; lie sul there as white as though smitten with death; for a moment lie did no speak. Then the blood rushed back to hi* face. He lifted the glasB at his plate in the air. “A health to the bride,” lie cried, “and l »ng life to the bride groom.” They drank the toast, one or two of them forming the opinion that this fur coated stranger ..wa- some great tragedian, who had re solved to astonish them. They dispersed away to their own duties or pleasures whon the meal was over. Ho ascended to tho room to which his luggago had been car ried. His sudden pallor hud been no ridlpr’s trick. The blood had forsaken his check at tho bidding of a torrible emotion. From distant lands, where lie had toiled for nine long years to win fame and fortune, he had returned, crowned with suc cess, to marry precisely this Beulah Blair—this bride of the old man of eighty. She had vowed herself to .him, worn his ring, written him the tenderesb of love-letters, and jilted him at last—that is, if these people spoke truth. lie was not one to go away without making sure that there was no mistake about that, Wtap- ping liirnscif in Ins fur eoat lie stulked out of the house into the lo.ig village street ami took his wav toward the well-known spot—the garden gate—from winch years be fore Dr. Blair had bidden him de part, reproaching him with his au dacity in courting his only daughter —tie, poor, and young, and without prospects. But she had met him in tho bit of woodland they knew so well, and vowed fidelity. Was this the-eha of it .ill? ‘ V " Y k Sp jc t s$emed. >,Tbe hpuee iugySn ablaze with ligtit, and upproacliing tRe long windows that opened on t lie garden, lie saw her—Betllan ; his Benia!), as he hud so often culled her, Yv.., Bhe stood there in her bridal diess, her rich vail falling to her. feet, shading but. not concealing her love ly face and hair, and the exquisite outlines of her figure. He gazed at her as she stood there, and asked himself wliat lifo offered in the fu ture. His wealth and his position were no longer of any v-iluo to him. He lmd lost her by a nifirc cruel blow than death itself could give. Returning to tho hotel ho wrote a long and bitter letter, full of ‘re proaches and of sarcasm, posted it, and paid his reckoning. Before daylight the handsome stranger had left the town behind him. Ho sought in travel the peace which no man over vet fount! save in Ins own heart. v • i He remained away five years. At the end of that time he returned. He had left his home—the home to which lie had hoped to return with his bride—just as it lmd been timing ed, merely locking and barring win dows and doors. There was a letter box at the entrance, and into this n number of letters and papers had bedn thrust from without, for lie lmd lelt no address behind.him. Turning these over wit h a careless hand, lie came to cno addressed in Beulah’s writing. Hoiv well lie know‘it. Sl.o lmd, then, replied to Lis letter. With a trembling hand lie tore it open, and read these words: “Dear Archibald—yes, always diyir to me—Had I deserved yonir raproaehes I should not write these words.

Since then she Ims supported herself by sewing. She lives in a little two-roomed house on the West Road, near the eagle Rock. I’ui afraid her life is a Imni one.

Later, Archibald Barton walked in the moonlight along the road thut ran (Mist Eagle Book.;; tie knew file little two-roomed cottage well. A light burned within.

She started to her feet. “Archibald!” she cried. “It is I, Bunlab,” ho said; and as they utterod thoso words tlvo years dropped away as a dream loaves one who wakens; and lie clasped her in liis arms.—Mary Kyle Dallas, in "New York Lodger.

My experience has taught me that: 1. One acre of land well prepared and well cultivated, produced more than two which received only the same amount of labor used on one. 2. One cow, horse, mule, sheep or hog. well fed, is more profitable than two kept on the same amount necessary to keep one well. If. One acre of clover or grass, is worth .injure than two of cotton Where no grass or clover is raised. 4. .No farmer. who buys oats, corn or wheat, fodder and hay, as a rule, for ten years, can keep tho sheriff away from the door in the oiid. 5.

Preservation of the Soil. The reckless mid exhaustive sys- tom of cultivation practiced upon mir large farms, before tho war, lias left, us n legacy of poverty in tho soil. The natural increase of the labor, under the system of slavery, tnudo corresponding demands for open lands, and forests were merci lessly slaughtered, and fields, failing m maximum yields, were left to bo washed away by the r; : igs mid scarred into gaping gullies, pm many places the prospect now ia; unsightly and tho outlook for intensive farming is not full of hope, at least upon tho face of appearances. It is a great, satisfaction to know, howevor, that nature lias done much for our soil, not only in its original fertility, but also m its poww to re cover itself under proper methods and judicious manuring. Tho state ments already presented to our read ers as to tho possibilities of our sec tion, and tiie actual results upon the farms of the State, are a sufficient guarantee that farming will pay handsomely in Georgia. To raise good crops upon our roll ing lands, proper attention must be given to tho preservation of the soil. If year after year tbo land is to re ceive a deposit of expensivo. plant food in Uto shape of commercial fertilizers, farmers must not be oou- tout to take the siuglo crop it may furnish and feuvo trio residuo of -ma il uro to bo washed iqfp tho brunches and crooks before another crop can bo grown. If the soil does its host service,.its resources must be hus banded. (hiltivuled fields must bo preserved fiom tho tramping and grazing ot stock, protected against the washes of the ruins; they must be made to absorb mid hold all tho plant food put into them. Tho matter of soil exhaustion has gone far enough with us, mid it is time now we had called a halt. The farther wo go into evils of any kind, llie more difficult we find it tu re trace our slops. Moro mid more ij this mutter pressing itself upon us, and we are gratified to find a corres ponding response on tho part of far mers at the South.
