He would read an old almanac any time in o preference to a volume of poems, b and when I told him one day e about the trials and sufferings of that dear 'Claude Clonett,' in r Stringemont's new novel, he coolly r asked me, when I-had finished, if i 'C. C. took sugar or drank his whisky straight.' Qb, my ! whaL a a trouble he was to me, and I a really do not know how I ever I came to tolerate him. He R"ouldn't act one bit like a hero, and when he said 'good bye' at the gate, t after spendhg the evening with I me, he would walk straight away I through the field whistling 'Yan- n kree.Doodle,' and never turn and r kiss his hand to me once-. Then wben I flirted just a little with a nipe fellow to make my Charlie jealous, he never said one s word, and I had expected he would vow vengeance on the nice t fellow, and threaten to take pros- t sic acid himself. No, there was no romance in I Charlie Marsh. iIe drank two cups of coffee for breakfaist, ate t lots of pork and beans for dinner, I and pourpd 49wn three cups of tea for supper. H~is hair was always a parted on the right side of his ead, a moustache ne.ver graced t his lip, apd bi g~oic instead of' b being soft and low and sweet, wasa loud and coarse like the sound of ~ a bass yoiu. It will be proper to state, before ~ I go any furt.her, that Charlie was ny promised busband ; and I r tink he loved me, aitbough he was unromantic. As I said before, how I came to love him has al ways been a profound mystery toa me, for be was as different from my ideal as night is from day; gund when b-e proposed to me, infl place of dropping on his knees y and telling me that I was the ~ whole world to him and he could t pever, never, never exist one mo- t ment withoig mne for his gudn j star, he just turned to mce one evening, as we were sitting to gether in the parlor-, and said, ast coolly as you please : 'Sis'-tbat's what he always called me-'you t know I have been head over heels ~ in love with you for more than , two months -won't you be M.rs. Marsh, and make a fellow happy ?' e 'Bead over heels in love' with ~ me iwbat anl prpression ! I was really shocked and I never ought e to have said 'ys/ but 1 took pity on t.hp poor fellow, because I thought he sincerely loved me, and would become more sensible in time. I do not think I would ave loved him so well if Pa had not detested aim. Pa did not like him, because it was rumored that his great grandfather sold pea nuts on an old ferryboat; but I never' beliced it. Fa~ at last for bade him the house; but that made me all the more anxious to see my Charlie, and weo met under the great maple trees. He, of course, should have proposed an elopement; but be was too 1mmtp-of.fact to ever think of it.; I nd when 1 asked him what we ad batter do under the circum- li tances, he thought for a few mo nents and said - '] 'I think I'll give your father a :ood thrashing when I catch him nr lt, and then he will think better g f me.' a 'No, Mr. Marsh,' 1 replied, 'oull do no such thing. Just lay k our finger on pa, and I'll never' g peak to you again while I live.' I said this in such a tragic man- cl er that poor Charlie could do othing but stand and look at me p nd whistle. u 'What shall we do then ?' he Ic sked. li 'Why, if you are too dumb to w bink, I will tell you,' I answered, I :eling dreadfully provoked at im. 'To-night, when pale 4una as-' 'Whbat's that ?' he asked. 'The moon,' I returned, impa iently; 'and you will oblige me y not interrupting me again. Vhen pale Luna has sunk to rest ehind the horizon, and our cot age is hushed in silence, come tealthily to the back yard, and-' 'That confounded dog will get fter me.' 'Mr. Marsh,' I replied, getting a ntirely out of patience, 'if you in- d errupt me once more, I will leave on, and return to my home.' 'Go . n, then, Sis,' he replied, 'and I'll ci e as silent as a tombstone. Pro eed, as Parson Sagby says.' 'Well,? I continued, 'when you each the back yard be sure that o one is up-see that the house shrouded in darkness-and if it , throw a little gravel stone c gainst my window, and I will 01 ppear to you like ,Iuliet did to omeo 'But where wi!l that dog be-' 'Silence!' I said ; '1 will see that be dog is shut up in the kitchen. d )on't interrupt me again, please. d will be all in readiness to leave iy father's mansion, and you c iust stand beneath my window f d catch me, for I will have to imp down-' 'Suppose you should f411 and - kin your nose ?' said he. I could not stand that. All pa- e ence was gone, and 1 commenced sob hysterically. 'Don't cry, Sis,' he said, tender- t 7, taking me in his arms. 'I'll ee that you do not fail. Tell mec e rest of the progi'ainme, and '11 listen in silence.' I then ceased sobbing, p.nd re-n umed : 'After we are safely away from I he grasp of my cruel pa, I will ecome yogr own wife forever; ; d then we will return to him, ~ ll on our knees and ask for- t :iveness. Do you like my plan,a ear?' 'Al! right, Sis; your arrange rent is A No. 1. I will do ex- b etly as you say. When pale b iat-you-may-call it has sunk to e est, a chap of my inches will bev ,bout.'-. - 'That's a dear Charlie,' I re-7 lied; 'you'll try and be good Lereafter, ga have a soul above uttons, won't you ? And now I it aust return home. Tra-la-la tille o-night.' And, kissing my hand o him, I turned and walked b iome.f It was awfully dark. Murky, ombre clouds floated through ~ he sky, and hid pale Luna corn letely from view. I had every hing in readiness to leave my ather's house ; and I sat by the d vindow of my cosy chambers waitng the sound of the gravel tone against the pane. It came t last, with a sharp crack thate nade me half jump from my hair, andi silently I slid the sash pas high ais it would go. i 'Are you there, dear Charlie ?'r asked in a low voice.r 'Yes,' was the reply, and hisr iead appeared on a level with the ~indow-sill. 'I got on this hogs- ~ bead, and now I can lift you out asily. Is that dog shut up safe. 5 'He is,' I replied, 'and now help ne out. Be careful. That hog's-0 iead is full of water, and the cover s weak-C), gracious !' b My admonimon came too late.. ~)ur combined weight was too nuch for the cover-it gave way,d ud in we both went up to our 'Just as I expected,' said Char. e. climbing out. 'You're a brute !' I returned, Iift me out of this.' He did so, and at the very mo. ent I was deposited on the round, pa and the dog Towser, )peared on the scene. 'There's that dog !' c:ried my ver, and he disappeared over thc arden fence in a twinkling. 'What means this?' asked my 'uel father. I made no reply ; but pushing ist him I entered the house, ran p to my room, and had a nice ng cry. I would never see Char e again, and he married a widow ith five children. Poor fellow I pity him ! 'ONDERFUL LEAD VILLE. irther Facts of Interest About the Famous Silver City of Colorad;. Colonel Elisha W. Davis, a ember of the Pennsylvania leg lature, said to a Philadelphia 'imes reporter, on returning from trip to Leadville, Col.: 'Two years ago a little tumble )wn shanty or two stood on the t. now occupied by Leadville, a ty containing to-day nearly for thousand inhabitante, and bich I do not hesitate to predict ill have one hundred thousand 3ople. before the end of another aar. 'Talk about the wonderful rise "San Francisco and other places, )ntinued Col. Davis, 'but think Leadville in comparison with my of them and you'll acknow dge that it must get the palm. Tith ats fine banking concerns seupying elegant buildings and )ing a very large business ; four ily newspapers-three 1Repub ,an and one Democratic-not ex iled in enterprise and general atuires by any other papers out de of Philadelphia and Newv ork ; several flourishing weekly urnals ; three first-class thea ~rs ; numerous fine churches, in uding Episcopal, Methodist and oman Catholic; whole streets i of business structures that are ie architectural eguals of those many df thie 1srge Eastern ties, and a fine post office build inow being erec.ted of brick id stone-it is already a city of > little importance. Except in le outskirts, it is not scattered ke many other mining towns ,but compactly built up-more so la'n Barrisburg,ofwhbieb I think,it the equal, if it does not go beyond sat city in population. Nearly I the temporary wooden struc ires have al:-eady given place to ibstantial buildings of stone and rick. Any q,uantity of go.od ricks can be made there, suitable ay being found in the immediate icinity. Leadville looks just as uch like an Eastern city as doe ~arrisburg. 'The city is 14.000 feet above 1e evel of the sea anid all around in the distance loom up) snow ipped peaks. During my stay E three iveeks there, however, I ave perceived little, if any, dif. ~rence between its chmate and at 2f Philadelphia. Neverthe ss, the soil thereabouts is not itable for farming to any con derable extent, and the per. ~anency of the settlement must spend upon the supply of the 2rrounding silver mines, wbicb r many generations will be in baustible. Thbe location of the ty on a gradually sloping moun n is such that during a thunder ~orm the people can see the gbtning flash below them. Snow amains all the year on the sur >unding peaks. It is amusing to se ow strangers in the city re deceived by the apparent istance of these mountains. I arted one morning to take a roll to the base of one them, apposing that it was about two r not more that three miles off. udge of my astonishment upon eing told that it was not less an twenty miles away. The urney was postponed. Another ay, as a waggish friend and my. af were out walking, we came on a little sr.ring,ruen or 5rook. less than a yard wide. My friend stopped at its edge, and, after ap pearing to measure it with his eye, proceeded to direst himself of his garments. 'What are you doing ?' I asked, in surprise. 'Going to'swim across, ofcourse,' was the reply. 'I've been fooled enough on Leadville distfnces ; but after this I'll try to make due allowance im my calculations.' 'Take it all in all, the cost of living in Leadville is no more than in Philadelphia, while the remuneration for labor is from two to three times as large as it is here. Beef is cheaper and better there than here, The only sup plies that command a higheri price there are vegetables. Day laborers earn from $2 to $4 a day ; carpenters, $4; miners, from $4 to $4.50, and other workmen in like proportion. Any plucky man go ing there with a little capital ought to get rich if he minds his business. The entire surround ing country abounds in raineral wealth, chiefly silver and iron. The fact that lead is tound in large quantities, combined with these ores, gave the city its name. Silver, however, is the most abun dant, and, of course, the chief treasure sought for. Antharacite coal was recently struck, and the supply promises to be very grea,. Every trade and profes sion flourishes. Undoubtedly Lead ville will be tbe penter of the sil ver mining business for the next twenty-five yoars. It is now by far the largest town in the State. 'The population is not so heter ogenous as Philadelphians might suppose. The majority of the people are of American birth, re cruited largely from New York State and the oil regions of Penn sylvania. New Yorkers are get ting ;ol4 of aii t[ao big mines. Several mines, including the Rob ert E. Lee, Pittsburg cnd Cryso lite, have been paying at the rate of $100.000 a year for the last six months. If Leadville has done 80 mnuch w ith no railroad nearer than thbirty-two miles, what may be ex pected when the road now run ning from Denver to Buena Vista will be finished as far as Lead ville ? gdeed it is probable that the D)enver and Rio Grande road also will Boon be extended to Leadville, opening up traffic along the Arkansas river'. At present passenger, travel and hauling must be done by means of stages and wagons between Leadville and Buena Vista. There has been no rob bipg qone, however, since Judge Lynch hanged two fellows last fall. Indians are not feared as there are none nearer than the Gunnison country, thirty miles distant, and they are fast disap pearing from there' A MAN WITH'f A RECoRD.-Mr. Ben. F. Wilson, of New Haven, Nelson County, Ky., is now eigh ty-t wo y-ears of age. He has been magistrate twelve years. H~e fines every man one dollar for each time he uses a profane oath, and has receipts for payment of the same. He never used a profane oath. Ee never tasted a drop of liquor. He never smoked a cigar or tobacco, or chewed in his life. He never saw a horse-race for money. lie never was at a theater. He never knew one card from another, though he is known from his home to New Orleans He has been a MIason for forty years. He has been a member of the Methodist church for sixty years -class-leader*and steward for fif ty..nine years. Hie has been going to Sunday school for sixty-four years. He has traveled through eleven States of the Union. Whoever thinks of life as some thing that could be without re ligion is yet in deadly ignorance of both. Life- and religion are one, or neither is anything. The greater the difficulty the more glory in surmounting it. Skilful pilots gain their reputa tion from storms and tempests. and on the whole the rice planters are more hopeful. One gentleman in Oconee County harvested last week 1,952 pounds of cured red clover from one-third of an acre, and with good seasons this clover can be cut once or twice more this year. Timothyr hay and lucerne are also grown to a l,trge extent. The correspondent from Colleton County devotes considerable space to the lands and phosphate beds in that county, and his letter will be published in a handbook of the re sources of the State, to be published by the commissioner. At the last meeting of the board of agriculture a resolution was adopted instructing the commissioner to ascer" F certain from the various railroads leading from New York to South Carolina their lowest rates of fare for immigrants to this State. In re sponse to these inquires the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad and its connections agree to take immi grants at the rate of 1 cents per w mile; the South Carolina Railroad will bring them from New York to Columbia for $10, and on to any way station at 2 cents per mile. The Air-Line Railroad is actively engaged in inducing immigration. having an agent in N.ew York. The road is anxious to co-operate with the State authorities in this matter, and agrees to carry immigrants to their destina tion for 11- cents per mile, MIGHTY SLOW ScHoyR.--Our Northern brethreu are mighty slow scholars. Every year or so one or more of 'em come down to make a reconnoissance, and they go back and say we are all right-great people-splendid people--have been slandered awfully, and so forth, and right straight -e hold up our heads and wag our tails, just like a dog when he gets a kind word front bia master. Mr. Beecher come down, and Dr. Vincent come dawn, and Gen eral Grant come down, and General Sberman and several others, and they ,o back and say: 'Boys, there's nc harm in them fellers - down South ; they are all right.' But bless. my soul, nobody believes 'em, and we have got to enlighten 'em one at a time, just like we did Brother Talmage, and it's going to take two or three thouw sand years to do it. Mr. Talmage says the North has not done us juotice. Well, that's so; bnt we want to know about what time they will do it. There was a~ darkey in the calaboose, and he aent for Judge Underwood and told him what he was put in there for, and the Judge said a Well. Jack, they can't put you in here for that. It's against the law?~ Is dat so, Mas' John ?' said Jack, It's so, Jack,' said the Judge, 'they can't put you in here for that.' 'But I is in here now,' says Jack. 'Mas' John, shore as you're born I is in here right now.' ([Columbus ( Ga.)Enquirr-S'un. SAW T aaocuGI THE MEAT.-Mad ame C-, dressmaker, has a great deal of'trouble with sewing girls. The other day one of them came to her to say: 'Madame, I fear that I will not be able to work much longer. I think I am getting blind.' 'Why, how is this ? Yo'u seem to get a long pretty well with your work.' 'Yes; but I can no longer see any meat on my plate at din ner.' Madame C.-- understood, and the next day the young ladies were served with very large but very thin pieces of meat, 'What happiness,' exclaimed our Miss. 'My sigrht has come back, I can now see better than ever.' 'How is that, Made moiselle ? 'Why, at this moment I can see the plate through the meat.' Youth will never live to age unless the young keep themselves in breath with exercise, and in heart with joyfulness. Everything that truly and nat urally belongs to a human career has its sacred side.

Promise of a Great Crop in South Carolina. Special Dispatch to the News and Courier CoLMBIA, May 18.-From num erous replies received by Col. A. P Butler, in response to queries pro pounded by him to the special cor respondents of the agricultural de partment throughout the State, I an enabled to condense the following gen eral information, which is of more o less interest to all classes in the State A willingness is manifested in everi :ounty in the State to sell real estat< to bonafide settlers, at prices rangini Form $2 to $50 per acre for improved and from 25 cents to $10 for unim proved lands, making an average o ibout $12, and $4, respectively Flourishing agricultural societies exis n each county. and there is a grow ng interest in pisciculture.

Favorable reports are being dail eceived from all sections coucernin= rowing crops, and the prospect for ;ood fruit yield is said to be fair. Fetilizers have been used in largei uantities than last year.and in som< ounties more than in any previous 'ear. The stock and cattle of th< state is reported as in good condition 20 destructive diseases having madt heir appearance in any quarter. Planters are purchasing about th ame amount of supplies as last year tnd in the majority of cases are re sorting to the lien system of securing tdvances. Field labor iS reported as more effi ient, and in only one county is any ;carcity of labor reported, and there ii s attributed to the negroes renting nore land than foraierly. The ave "age amouni of wages given is 5C ents per day, $G to 88 per month and 775 to $100 per annum.
