It was not difficult, Mrs. Fane rouud j to please her charioteer. To listen wiih I an air of interest to her constant rlo v of small talk sufficed, and it with* a sense of relief that Mrs. Faie said ' good-bye" when the drive was over. Mrs. Baylev was still out, and calling Midge, Mrs. Fans set out for a walk on the sands, as the day.thouzh somewhat dull and leaden, was mild and ' almy. Skirting the Links to avoid tbe bails of golf pla>ers,she approached a footbridge which crossed a smail burn, where it ran down to the beach, and leaning against tbe handrail?gazing out to sea ?she rjproaived a <remleman. a tail. diJ tinguished-looking mun. whoii she instantly recognised. \VLilc hesitatin.: whether to advance or retreat, he stood upright and turned towards her. "AL! I am in greater luck than I dared to hops," he exclaimed, rapidly descending a couple of steps which led to the bridge. k,l have just been at the hotel and found you were out, aad your return uncertain, so 1 strolled down here to dream away the time." ktAnd pray what has brought you rack?" asked Mrs. Fane, looking up at him with a sunny, welcoming smile, us she gave him her hard.

While she spDke they m-.ived on, aud without any apparent design walked side bysldealong the smooth.tirmsand. Words did not conic readily to either. Cartington was thoughtful, and Mrs. Fane too anrious to avoid any topic that would lead up lo forbidden subjects, to be iIjenu lie was vf ry anxiows to ascertain ' positively what day she would be in town. She explained her intention of joining Miss Onslo.v and her uacle the day after to morrow. This started a safe theme for conversation.

Iler room was next to that where they were to dine, and she could hear Morton walking to and fro. At last, after what seemed a vast period of time, the waitress knocked at the door and announced that dinner was ready. Mrs. Fane, therefore, was obliged to return to the sitting-rco n, her annoyance ai.d embarrassment increasing every moment, yet not likeing to seem foolishly prudish. "There is no use in waiting longer,'' said Sir Frederic, coming to mee; her; "the iast train is in, aud our friends have not arrived. We must enjoy our dioner without them."

A tide of 1 memories, of painful mortified feelings 1 and tremulous indecision, flooded her soul. What trying moments, what bitter regret;, he had inflicted! Could i she forgive? Could she trust her fu- ( ture to him ? By some strange mental ; operation the dread of her husband , neutralised the attraction of her new admirer. Yet there was something ( touching in the sort of humility of tne haughty-looking man who laid his rights at her feet. '\L liked Colonel Carrington, I con- , tess," she said at length, looking down, ( ,:but I am afraid of Colonel Fane." 'They are alike in your hands," he returned, gravely. "But you must be 1 worn out with the day's adventures; will you not rest?" "It is quite impossible I can .-tay 1 here." she interrupted;-'it would be a 1 frightful breach of propriety! How can I get back? Do help me." Carrington smiled.

"I am atraid you are awfully done up,*' he exclaimtd, looking tenderly at her. "Come near the Ore: you are trembling: with cold." "Not with cold,'' ste returned.

Galveston, Tex, July 19.?The >i ews will tomorrow publish a crop report from every agricultural county in Texas. The greatest' care has been exercised in the collection and editing of the statistics and the true present condition of the Texas crops on the 15 th to the 17th inst., the dates on which the reports were made. The statement is far "from encouraging. The bright prospect for an abundant yield of corn has been swept away by the continued dry weather, and the yield will fall far short of what was anticipated. The drouth has done a great deal of harm to the cotton crop except in Eastern Texas, where too much rain has : fallen, and where dry weather was just lust wnai. we rarmer neeaeu. xu neutral Texas, where something over onethird of the cotton crop is produced, cotton has suffered from several causes, and the gross receipts are not bright. Grasshoppers and other insects did injury in the Northern part, while worms aie reported from many points in the South. Northern Texas is baaly spotted. Reports from Southwest Texas are almost uniformly bad. Complaint is made of the drouth, and the plant is shedding'badly in some neighborhoods. The coast district needs rain in same portions, but on the whole is in better condition than others. worms are reported 111 many localities and farmers are busy destroying them. In West Texas the long drouth has parched everything, ani even with good rains now, wcarcely more than a Km ill crop can be made. , From a careful study of the reports as a whole it is apparent that the Texas cotton crop is in a most critical condition, and considerale harm has been done already, and if the present dry weather continues ten days longer, the whole crop will be badiy damaged.

' Speak ye :omtor!ably lo Jerusalem." What au a'.v'ul six weeks :n commercial circles! The crashing of banks from San Francisco io Sew York ana from ocean to ocean. Ttie complete uu certainty iha<, has halted all styles of business for three mouths and the pressure of the money marked for the last I year have put all bargain makers at their wii's eu<i. Some of the best men in the land have faltered; men whose hearts arc enlisted in every iiood work and whose hands have blessed every <:ieal charity. The church of God cau all'jrd to extend to them her symtliies and plead bjfore heaven with all avail ng prayer. The schools such men have established, the churches they have built, the asylums and beuelicient institutions they have fostered, will be their eulogy Ion? after their banking instiutions are forgotten. Such men can never fail. They have their treasures in hanks that win never oreakuruu win be millionaires forever. The stringency of the money market, I am "lad to say, begins to relax. May the wisdom of Almighty God come down upon our national le?islituie at their convening next month in Washington and suob result? be reached as shall restore confidence and revive trade and multiply prosperities! Yet not onlv now in the time of finansial disaster, but all through life, our active business people have a strussle, aud I think it will be appropriate aud useful for me to talk about their trials and try to oiler seme curative prescriptions. In the iirst place, i have to remark that a <rreal manv of our business men feel ruinous trials and temptations coming to them from small and limited capita) in business. It is everywhere understood that it takes now three or four ti nes as much to do business well as once it d'd. Once a few hundred dollars were turned into goods?the merchant would be his own store sweeper, his own salesman, his own bookkeeper. He would inanaye all the affairs himself, and everything would b?i net profit. Wonderful changes have come. Costly apparatus, extensive advertisis?, exorbitant store rents, heavy taxation, expensive agencies, are oul parts of the demand made upon our commercial men. Aud wjen they have fouud themselves in such circumstances with small capital they have sometimes been tempted to run against tne rocks of moral aud tinan/.iol floori-notinn UUUV.U4 UW?IUVWVW, J The temptation of limited car.iial has | ruined men in two ways, Sometimes tbey have shrunk down under the te uptation. They have yielded the battle hefore tne lint shot was tired. At the L'rst hard gun they surrendered. Their knees knocked together at the fall oi the auctioneer's hammer. They blanched at he huaucial peril. They did not understand that there is such a thing as heroism in merchandise, and that there are Watcrloos of the counter, and that a man can tight no braver battle with the sword than be can with the yardstick. Their souls meHed iu them because sugars were up when they wanted to buy and down when they wanted to sell and unsalable ^goods were on the shell ond bad debts in th^ir ledger. The gloom ot their countenances overshadowed eveD their dry goods and groceries. Despondency, coming from limit ed capital, blasted them. Others have felt it in a different way. They have saic;: '-Here I have been trudging along. I have been trying be honest ail these years- I find it of no use. Now its makes or breaks." The small craft that could have stood the stream is put out beyond the light-^ house on th< great se* oL-specatetiOff." Stocks arc the dice with which he gambles. lie bought for a few dollars vast iracu. orwestern land. Some men at Hie east liviog on a fat homestead meets this gambler oi iorlune and is persuaded 4r\ A<r Kio Jiorn Ynv 1nt.fi in#a western city with larse avenues and costly palaces atid lake steamers smoking at l>'e wharves and rail train?. coming down with lightning speed from even direction. There it is all on paper! The city has never been built nor the railroads constructed, but everything points that way, aud the thing will be done a* suie as you Jive. And that is the process by which many have been tempted through limitation of capital into labyrinths from which they could not be extricated. I would not want to chain honest enterprise. I would not want to block up an v of the avenues lor honest accumula tioD thai open up for young men. ?n the contrary, I would like to cheer them ou and rej ;ice when they reach the jroal but when there are such multitudes of men going to ruin for this lile ami the life that is to come through wrong notions ol what are lawful spheres oi enterprise it is the duly of the ministers of religion and the friends of all young men to utter a plain, emphatic, unmistakable protest. These are the influences that drown men in destruction and perdition. Again, a great many of our business men are tempted lo over anxiety and care, l'ou know that nearly all commercial businesses are overdone in this day. Smitten with the love of quick gain onr cities are crowded with men resolved to be rich at ail hazards. They do not care how money comes. Our best merchants are thrown into competition with men ot" more means and less conscience, and it' an opportunity of ac- < cumulation be neglected one hour some one else picks it up. From January to Decernner the struggle goes on. Night gives no quiet to limbs tossing nor to a brain that will not stop thinking. The dreams are harrowed by imaginary loss and flushed with imaginary gains. Even the JSabbath cannot dam back the tide of anxiety, for this wave of worldliness dashes clear over the churches and leaves its foam on Bibles and prater! books. Men who are livin<r en salaries or by the culture of fhe soil caauot understand the wear and tear of'body and minu to which our merchants are subjected when they do not know but that their livelihood and their business honoraie dependent upon the uncertainties of the next hour. This excitement of the brain this corroding care of the heart, this strain of eilcr^ that exhausts the spirit, < sends a great many of cur best men in midlife into thr?. gjave. They find that i Wall street docs not cud at the East river. It ends at Greenwood! Their lile dashed out against money sales. They no with their,"tore on their backs, i They trudge Kke camel3, sweating from s Aleppo to Damascus. They make their life a crucifixion. Standing behind desks i counters, banished irom the iresh air, i weighed down by caiking cares, they I are so many suicides. j' Oh, 1 wish 1 could today rub out \ some of those liaes of care; that 1 could lift some of the burdens troiu the heart: i hat I could give relaxation to some ot i bese worn muscles. it is time for >ou i lo beyin tn take it a little easier. Do i your best and then trust God for the rest. Do not fret. God manages all the affairs of your life, aud he manages them for the best. Consider the lilies ?thev always have robes. Behold the toffls ot the air?thev aiways have nesis. Take a long breath. BethiDk betimes that God did Dot rake you for a pack horse. DU: yourselves '-ut from amnn<; the hogsheads and the Phelves, and in the li^ht of the holy Sabbath day resolve that you will sive to the winds your tears "sod your Fretfulness and your distresses. You brought nothing into the world, aud it is verv certain you can carry nothing out. Hiving food and r.iment, be therewith cou'eit. The merchaut came home from the store. There had been great disaster there, lie opened the f> outdoor and in the midst ot his lamily*circlf; and said "I am ruined. Everything is ?one. I am all ruined." His wife said, "I am left," and the little child threw up its hands and said. "Papa I am here." The aged grandmother, seated.iu the room said, "Then you have all the promises otGod beside. John." And he burst into tears and said: "God forgive me, that L have been so ungratelul. I tind i have a u.uuj LiiiUi;a vruu lurmvc me." Agaiu 1 remark thai many of our business men are tempted to neglect their home dutfes. How often it is that the store ar;d the home seem to clash, but there ought not to be anv collision. It is otlen the case that the father is the mere treasurer of the iamily, a sort of ageni to see that they have dry ^oods aud ?rocsrie3. The work of famdy government he does not touch. Once or twice iu a yt ar he calls the children up ou a Sabbath atternoon when he has a hall hour he does not exactly know what to do with, and in that half hour he disciplines the children and chides them and corrects their faults and gives them a great deal of good advice and then wonders all the rest ot the year that his children do not do better when they have the wonderful advantage of that semiannual castigation. The family table, which ought to be the place for pleasant discussion and cheerrulness, ofien becomes the place of perilous expedition. It there be any blessing asked at all, it is cut ofl at both ends, and with the hand on the carving knife. iJjci.ints on his lingers, making estimates in the interstices o? the repast. The work done, the hat goes to the head, and he starts down the street, and before the family have risen from the table he has bonnd up another bundle of goods ard says to the custo mer, "Anyming more i caa ao ior you today, sir?" A man has more responsibilities than those vvtiich are discharged by putting competent instructors over his children aDd giviuir them a drawing master and music teacher. The physical culture of the child will not be attended to unless the father looks to it. He must pometimes lose his dignity. He must unlimber his joints. He must sometimes lead ihem out to their sports anu games. The parent who cannoL forget the severe duties of life sometimes?to fly the kite4 and trundle the hoop and chase the ball and jump the rope with ihe chilJren? oughtnever to have been templed out of a crusty and unredeemable solitariness. If you want to keep your children awav from places of sin, you can only do it by making your home attractive. You may preach sermons and advocate reforms and denounce wickedness, and yet >our children will be captivated by the glittering saloon of sin unless you cau make your home a brighter place than any other place on earth to them. Oh gather all charms into your house! If you can aflord it, bring books and pictures and cheerful entertainments to to the household. But, above all, teacii those children, no' by half an hour twice a year on the Sabbath day, but day after day, and every day teach them that religion is a great gladness that throws chains ol gold about the neck; that it takes no spring from the foot, no blitheQ3S3 from the heart, no spearkle from the eye, no rinse from the laughter, but t*iat * her w lys are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace." i sympathize with the vr_ork being done in may of our cities by which beiulilul rooms are set apart by our Young Men's Christian Associat.on, and pray God to _prosper. them in all things. Buil'tell you there is somthing | back of that and before tliat. We need more happy, consecrated cheerful Christaio homes in America. Again, I remark that a great many of our business men are tempted to put the attainment of money above the value of the soul. It is a grand thing to have plenty of money. The more you get ol it the better, If ;l come honestly and go usefully. For the lack of it sickness dies without medicine, and hunger liods its cGflia in the empty bread tray, and nakedness shivers for lack ol clothes and tire. When 1 hear a man in canting tirade against money?a Christian man ?as though it had no possible u3e od earth, and he had no interest in it, I come almost to think that the heaven that would be appropriate for him would be an everlasting poorhouse! While, my friends, we do admit there is such a thing as a lawful use ol money ?a protitable use of money?let us recognize also the fact that money cannot satisfy a man's soul; that it cannot glitter in the dark valiev: that it cannot nav our fare across the Jordan of death; that it cannot unlock the gate ot heaven. There are men in all occupations who seem to act as though they thought a pack of bonds and mortgages could be traded off for a title to heaven and as though gold would be a lawful tender m that place where it is so common that they make pavements out of it. Salvation by Christ is the only saltation. Treasures in heaven are the only incorruptible treasures. Have you ever ciphered out in the rule of loss and gain the sum, "What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul?" However fine your apparel the winds of death will flutter it like rags. Homespun and a threadbare coat have sometimes been the strndow of coming robes made white in the blood of the Lamb. The pearl of great price is wore more than any gem you can bring lrom the occean, than Australian nr Rrovilion minp<* st.rnncr in one car cauet. Seek after God; lind his righteousness, and all shall b5 well hert; all shall be well hereafter. ]jut 1 must have a wort! with those who during the present commercial calamities have lost heavily or perhaps lost all their estate. If a man lose his property at 30 or 40 years of age, It is only a suarp discipline generally, by which later he comes to larger success. It is all lolly for a man to sit down in midlife discouraged. The marshals of Napoieon came to their commander and said, "We have lost the battle, and we are being cut to pieces." Napoleon tojkhis .vatch from his pocket and said: "It U only 2 o'clock iu the afternoon, i'ou have lost that battle, but we have time enough to win another. Charge upon Lhe foe!" Though the meridian of lif^has passed withjou, and you have been routed in cuauy a ctnflict, give not up in discouragement. There are victories yet for you to gam. But sometimes monetary disaster comes to a uian when there is snmoihinor in his nctp nr something in his health or something in his surroundings which make him know well that he wiil aever iietup a^ain. In Ls57 it was estimated that fji many years previous to that time annually there had been 30,000 failures in the United !State3. Many of those persons never recovered from tHe mistor i!

Some of you remembar the shipwreck of the Central America. This noble steamer bad, I think, about 530 passengers aboard. Suddenly the storm came, and the surges trampled the decks and swung into the hatches, and there went up a bunired voiced death shriek. The toam of the j aw of the wave. The pitching of the s reamer as though it wece Jeaping ix mountain. The dismal d ;re of the signal rockets. The long cough of the steha n pipas. The hiss ol the extinguished furnaces. The walking of God on the wave! The steamer went not down without a struggle. As the passengers stationed "themselves in rows to bail out the vesseJ, hark to the thump ot the buckets, as men unused to toil, with blistered hands and strained mnscle, tug for their lives. There is a sail seen against the sky. The flash of the distress gun sounded, its voice is heard not, lor it is choked in the louder booming ot the sea. A few passengers escaped, but the steamer gave one great lurch and a as gone! So there are some men wmo sail on prosperously in life. All's well, all's well.
