I heard it first, for I used to sleep in a little snug basket near the dre ; but. I didn't speak for I was frightened. It was repeated still loud or, and then came a cry : "Con Cregan I Con, I tay, open the rioo. ! I wapt you." I kiew the voice well ; it was Peter McCabe's ; but I pretended to be fast ot-leep, and snoied loud. ly. At l'ast my father unbolt ed the door,-tl I kcard hin say "O, Mr. Peter, what's the matter ? Is Ole Pould nian wor,e V" "Faix that', what lie is, for lie's dead," ieplied Peter. "Glory be his bed !'V When did it happen 1" -'About an hour ago," said Peter, in a voice that even I, from my cor tier, could perceive greatly agitated. "Hie died like an ould heathou, Con and never Imlade a will.' "That's bad," sa% s my father, for he was always a p -,ite man, and said whatever was pleasing to , the com p .ny. "It is bad," said Peter ; but it would be worse if he could'nt help it. :,isten to mte now, Corucy ; I wanl ye to help Ime in thii bisiness a d '-wre are live guiveas in gold if yu do what I bi-I ye. You kno w that ye were always reckoned the very image of my father, and before be took ill ye were mistaken for each other every day of the week." "Anun !" said my father, for he 1 was getting frightened at the notion, I without well knowing why. "Well, what I want is far ye to come over into the house, and get I into the bed.'" "Not beside th i corpse I" said my father trembling. .By no means, but by yourself ; and you're to pretend to be my fath er, ahd that ye want to make yer will before ye die ; and then I'll send !.ir tlhe. nAighbors, and Billy Scanlan, %ho vhoolnaster, and ye'll tell him what to write, leaving all the farm an.1 everytbiag to me, 5o understand. And as the neighbors will see ye and hear yer voice, it will never be be. lieved but it was himself that did it." "The room must be very dark," says my father. "To be sure it will ; but have no fear ! Nobody will dare to como nigh the bed ; and ye'll only have to make a cross with yer pen under the "And the priest 1" said my fath er. "My father quarreled with him last week about the Easter dues and Father Ton said he'd not give him the rites ; and that's lucky now ! Conic along, now, quick, for we've noe time to lose ; it must be all finished before the day breaks." "All right," was the reply. My father did tnot lose much time at his toilet, for ho just wrapped his b.ig coat round him, and slipping on the brogues, left the house. 1 sat up in the basket, and listened till they were gone seime minutes; anid then, in a costume as light as my parent's, set out after them to watch the course of the adventure. I tihoug'ht to take a short cut, and be there before them; but by bad luck I fell into a bog hole, and only escap ed drowning by a ebhanso- As iet was, when I reached the house, the performance had already begun. ~' I think I see the whole scene this *instant before my eyes, as I sat on a *little window with one pane, and that a broken one, and surveyed thle proceeding. It was a large room, at one end of which was a bed, and be. side it was a table with physic bot times, and spoons1, and teacups ; a lit. t.lo further off was another table, at which sat Billy 8eanhan, with all manner of writing mat,erials beofore him. The country people sat two end sometimes three deep round the walls, all intently eager and anxious for the.nming event; Peter himself went from place to place, trylag i.e smother his grief, and occasionally helping the compatny to whiakey; which was suppli.ed with more thtan ,aco3ustomed liberality. All my consoeusness of the deceit and ,tdokery oould tiot depr ive thie scene of a certain solemnity. The misty dibtanee of 'the half-lighted room; the highly wrought expres sion of tJe country people's faces,' neover more intense ly .excited than a1. so-mle moment of tAiis kind ; the low, deep-dra wn breath ings, ubro ~%ken sano by a sigh or a sob ; the tri bute of affactionate .sorrow to semi lost friend, whose memory was thus forcibly brought back--these were all so real,that, as i looked, a thrill iDg sense of awe stole over mne, ad I - nctually shook with feat. A low, faint cough frm the dark corner where the bed stood seemed cause even a deeper stillness ; a then, in a silence, %here the buzzi of a fly would have been heard, i father said : "Where's Billy Scanlan I I wa to make my will 1" "He's here, father," said Pet taking Billy by the hand, and loi iug him to the bedide. "Write what I bid ye, Billy, a b) quick ; for I haven't a long tii 'afore we hote. I die a goot Cathol though Father O'Rafferty won't gi me the rites I" A general chorus of muttered, "C imusha, musha 1" was now hea through the room ; but, whether grief over the sad fate of the dyi Iman, or the unflinching severity the priest, is bard to say. "1 die in pace with all my neig bors and all mankind." Another eborus of the compai seemed to approve these charitab Dxpressions. I bequeath unto my son, Peter and there iiever was a better son or lecenter boy !-I bequeath unto n oi Peter the whole of oj two farr >f Killimundoonery and Knockst boora, with the fallow meadows I iind Lynch's house ; the forgo ai -ight of turf on the Dooran bog. ;ivo him--and much good may it iin-Lanty Cassarn's aere, and t [eary field with the lime kiln ; ai hat seainds me that my mouth just a leetle dry. Let me taste wh re have in the jug." Here the dying man took a ve tearty pull, and seemed cousiderab -efreshed by it. "Where was I, Billy Scanlan iays he ; "oh, I remember ; at ti iie-ki'n. 1. leave him - that ?eter I mean- the tro potato ga ;en at Noonan's Vel' , and it is t] ilegant, fine crops grows there.'' "Ain't you getting wake, fathe larlin' I" says Peter, who began )a afraid of my father's loquaciou toss ; for to say the truth, the punt ,ot into his head, and he was great isposed to talk. "I am, Peter my son," says; I a ,otting wake ; just touch my li) Igain with jug. Ah !" Peter, Pete (ou watered the d1rink." "No,iudeed, father, but, it's tl ate is laviu' you," said Pettr, a igain a low chorus of compassiona ity murdered throu hi the wi iabin." "Well, I'm nearly done now," sa ny father. "There's only one litt 6pot of ground rcmaining, and I p it on you, Peter-as 3e wish to li t good man, and die with the sar )asy heart as I do now-that ye mii my last words to ye here. Are Listening ?" Are the neighbors I 'ening I Is Bibly Scanlan liste ing V" "Yes, sir ; yes, father, we're i minding," chorused the audience. "Well then, it's my last will ai testament, and may-give me ov the jug"-here he took a long drii -"and may that blessed liquor poison to me if I'm not as eager abo this as every other part of the wil [ say, then I bequeath the little pl tt the aroes roads to poor Cun Orega fur he has a heavy charge, and is honest and as hard working a man ever I knew. Be a friend to hi Peter, dear ; never let him wa while ye have it yourself-think mue on my death-bed whenever aks ye for any trifle.

Ah, blessed be t saints 1" But I feel my heart gros lighter after that," says he, "a got work makes an easy conscience. A: now PIl drink all the compan: good health, and many happyi turns-" W hat he was goinig to add, ther< nio saying ; but Peter, now teri bly frightened at the lively tone t sick man was assuming, hurried the people the another room to let]i fathier die in peace. When they were all gone, Pe slipp~ed back to my father putting his brog ues in a corner. "Con," aays he Tye did it all we but sure that was a joke about the t acres at the cross." "Of course it was, Peter ?" saysal "sure it was all a joke, for the mat for that ; won't I make the neighb laugh hearty to.-morrow when I t thema all about it t'' "W hat I' exclaimed Peter, amazement. "'Toll 'cm all abc it g" "Faith, rind why shouldn't I 2" turned my father dryly. "You wouldn't be mean enough betray me V" says ?eter, tremi with fright. "Sure ye wouldn't be mean enoi to jgo agaieast your fatiher'. ?1y worisi1" says my father ; the sentence ever he spoke ;" and hi he gave a low, wicked laugh t' mnade myself shako with fear. "Very well, Con l' says Pe holding out his hand ; "a bargain bergain ; ysr a deep fellow th all." Father only ehuckeled a littis this ; but said. nothing. And so ended, and my father slipped qul away over the bog, mightily welt isfied with the legacy be left hima And thusa wo beoame the ow. to of the little spot known to t1his day as nd Con's Acre. ng - - - . . - - ny ICotton. t ITS HISTORY IN GnORGIA AND SOUTIJ CAROLINA. er, ad- From the "0hronological and Statistical History of Cotton," recent nd ly published, we glean some inteurest He ing Items in regard to the great sta .io, ple. ivo We find that in 1791 the cotton crop of the United States was 2,000, h1 1 000 pounds, of which three-fourths rd was grown in South Carolina and one in fourth in Georgia.
