Malcolm Thome sat in the cars, bound for Malvern, absorbed in a deep reverie, and a pleasant one it was, too. He was a lover, engaged alao, and he waa soon to lead hia bride to the altar. He was now journeying toward tho home of her who had filled, and would fill, he hoped, in the happy yearn to come, many of his hours with "silken splendor." In it, then, to be wondered that his thoughts, hi3 day-dreams were profoundly delightful ? "Malvern!" cried out the conductor. The* conductor's announcement startled hnn from his reverie. "Here already," murmured Malcolm. "Why, tho timo has passed very quickly." He removed his satchel, caue, and umbrella from the rack, vacated his Boat, and when tho train stopped stepped off on to the platform. A largo crowd was assembled .it the station awaiting the arrival of the train, for Malvern was quite a flourishing town, and lie was making his way through the concourse of people as rapidly as ho could, when a pair of arms were clasped around his neck, and a soft voice whiepered: "0, George! I'm so glad you've come;1' * and then almost as suddenly added, "0, I beg pardon, sir, I've made a great mistake, bat the resemblance is wonderful." Before tfie astonished Malcolm Thorne could make a reply, the young female with the fair, lovely face suffused with blushes, had disappeared in tbo crowd, and was quickly beyond his sight. .,t>_ i,rt thought. "that youn^ "x> y uvic. ?v c, . _ woman must have tak?n mc for her lover> whom, I suppose, she expected would come by this train. Why, bless me, it's the funniest adventure with which I've ever met." The whole affair struck him as being entirely ludicrous, and he stood still for a moment and gavo vent to a hearty laugh. He moved on again, got clcar of the; Crowd, and then gaze 1 along tho platform,' where a row of various sizes and styles of vehicles were waiting to eonvey the arrivals to different points in the town. "Minnie promised to meet me here with tho carriage, but I see neither her nor it. Probably something has delayed her; at any rate, I'll sit down and wait a few minutes longer." Ten minutes passed away, but neither his lady-love nor tho vehicle appeared. "She must be ill," ho murmured, glancing at his watch; "but it's strange she did not order the carriage to come for me, even if she couldn't come hers ?lf. He calleda cabman tohua. "Do you Know whore Mr. Itangton resides?" he asked. The man replied in the affirmative, and Malcolm ordered him to drive there as quickly as he could. The vehiclo stopped in front of a stately, handsome residence, aud Malcolm Thorns 6praiig out of the conveyance, walked rapidly up the graveled walk to the door and rang the bell, which was almost immediately answered by a servant. ."Is Miss Rangton indisposed, or is there any sickness in the family?" cried Malcolm. "All are quite well, sir," replied the domestic, "and Misa Ring tos cannot see you and bado me givo you this note." She thrust it into his hand, and then shut the door, as the saying is, in his face. Malcolm, bewildered and astonished, stood there, making no movement, but having the appearance of a person who is not really awavo whether he is in his right eensos or not. "Cannot see me?" he at last admitted. "What have I done to offend her? What is the meaning of this strange action of hers?" He sceiiioi to have forgotton the dainty, pink-tinted missive which the servant had given hi-n, but suddenly recoils;,,,, ;t. he tore open the envelope, and ?> - _ read these sarcastic iiiu*: Ma. Thorns?Dear Sir:?"I waa not aware, until quite recently, that your heart was large enough to entcrt tin an affection for two women at the same time. Such being the case, I must decline the share of love you have been wont to lavish upon me, as, in affairs of the heart, 1 am very selfish, and not for a moment could 1 think of looking to a rival. Let all, henceforth, that has passed between us bo forgotten. ? i ?.. th.-> whole wtaltb X leave juu mv - _ of your elastic affcction upon whotnsoevei you choose to honor in that way. Should we chance to meet let it he as strangers: for my vocabulary contains no rrord bj which i can fully expre-s the scorn in which I shall ever more re/urd yon." I remain, very respectfully, AIikkik Rangton. "Good heavens! What is the meaning ci {hit? lias her lovp for me departed since I last saw her and been bestowed on another, and is this the paltry manner in which she seeks to rid herself of my com pany and sevor the engagement? It is one series of falsehood from beginning tc end, and is plainly of her own coinage, too !" It is strange how quickly, when suspicion is once aroused, people jump to conclusions, v. .. be they true or false; and this is especiallj the case when two of man's strongest passiohs, love and jealous}', are at all concerned in the matter. At this juncture the cabman approached Malcolm, who was excitedly pacing up and , down tho verandah which surrounded the house, and said: "I'd like to have my fire, sir, for I musl be off. I can't wait here all day unless you pay me for waiting." "You may remain, for I'll want you tc take me back to the station, and I'll paj you tor your time," replied Malcolm. "All riyht. sir," said the man, going baci iHMi'.r< i V - X ! to 11is vchicle, tiut wondering at the pr>-1 culiur ina;!?iir in v.lii.-'n l!io gentleman was i I acting'. I "1 will ?oc 1km !" cried Malcolm, "and ' wring1 the truth from her. Tlie meaning1 of this scandalous unto, in justice to my- j self, must be explained before I leave Mai- j vern!" lie rang the bell, and again the servant! made her appearance. "Tell Miss Rangton that I must have a few* minutes' conversation with her." The servant departed to deliver the mes- ] sage, and quickly came back with an an- j ! siver. "Miss Kington desires me to inform you ! ; that it is imposnible for her to graDt your I request, and wishes you to cease annoying I her with such solicitations, and to leave ! i .1: 1 j UUi?> U'ni.x- imiuv-.ut + wij . "But alio shall speak with mo," cried the now infuriated Malcolm. "I was instructed not to admit you," and j with that she shut the door in hie face, and locked it also. "She is afraid I'll force my way into the house?as if I were some cowardly ruiiian and not a gentleman. I will go, for I J ri^lit to hare granted me. jls is n?ru, wij j hard thougfe not knowing the cause, to part in this w.iy from the woman you love. Perhaps I may judgeher wrongly?perhaps some persona-have slandered me in my absence, and she has believed them. It is possible, and yet she has not acted like a woman who has been injured, but like one who commits an injury. Well, she won't see me, nor shall I try to force her again, so I'll go from here, and, in time, I may learn to forgot her." He walked slowly, the picture of a griefstricken man, down the graveled walk, but j as he reached the gate, a lady approached j it from the other side. "ily dear Malcolm," she cried, "what is I the matter ? You look as if some great mis fortune had befallen you." "And so there has. Mi's. Rangton. Read this aud judge for yourself, and then explain it if you can," he replied, handing her Minnie's note. "I really can't conjecture what has cans ed her to write you in this fashion," said Mrs. Rang ton, when she had perused the missive. "This morning," she added. "Minnie was looking joyfully forward to your coming." "And you don't doubt that my affection for her is as great as it ever was, Mrs. j Kington?" he asked, interrupting her. j "i have had no cause for doubt, Malcolm, j uor will I till I have full and sufficient j {.roof. I am convinced that there is some great mistake, hut what it is, I can neither I s ly nor think." "I hope it in ty prove nothing worse," he jpplied, sa lly. "I sought an explanation of j iior utrunge conduct, but sho would not brant me an interview. Good-bye, Mrs. ! Ri-.ngton, for I must go, else I shall miss j '.lie nest train. You may tell her that I | rcr ... "Malcolm, you sli-.ll do nothing of the kiad. 1 have known you since you were a child, and I'm suit- you would not do anyj tiling wron0' or unmanly. 1 have always I placed as much faith in you as I have in y Minnie, Malcolm; tm ivfore as you say yon I cannot explain what lias caused her to take this sudden dislike to jou, she herself must do so, for your "satisfaction and mine. Come | with me into the house; we have already I delayed too lonjc. The sooner this matter is cleared up, the better lor all parties concerned." "My pride, Mrs. Ruigfon, will not permit me to en*er until Minnie summons me and I doubt if she ever will. Twice to-day the door has bejn s'.ammed in my face, as if I were some low character, and, unquestionably, by your daughter's orders." "I did not think she could act in such an unladylike manner, one smut ueg juur pardon for so doing," Said Mrs. Rangton, iu her decided way. "Well, as you're resolved to stand upon your dignity, like all you foolish lovers?and you're all well inat< Led in that respect, or there would be more reconciliations and fewer broken engagements?just remain where you are till i return. I'll find out the why and the wherefore of this matter, and be back again in five minutes. The stated time had scarcely elapsed before jolly, resolute JIis. Rangton appeared. "Why Malcolm, she's in her room sobbing ,;s if her heart were breaking. The silly roature says that sue saw a woman kist ,iud embrace you at the depot to-day. I gflbss she fell asleep in the carriage and creamed it. JJlaleuiio's gravity changed quite suddenly to merriment, and it was with difficulty that he manacrcd to say, "The woman call cd me George, and, a3 I resembled her lover, thought I was he, but she quickly discovered her mistake." Mrs. Eanytou had a keen appreciation for the ludicrous, and 6he joined in Malcolm's laughter. "What's all this fuss about/' Baid the cabman to himself. "If I didn't know it ; was Mr. Rangton's place, I should say it i was a mad-house." "Well," said Mrs. Rangton, "you'd better pay and dismiss the hackman, and then go in and forgive Minnie for acting so foolishly.'' Malcolm put his hand in bis pocket, but found that his wallet was gone; and soon ; made the discovery that he was also minuB hiB watch and chain. "Mrs. Bangton, I've been robbed." "Yes, Malcolm, and it was that very loving woman who robbed you," said Mrs. Ilangton, bursting into a hearty laugh. ''"Well, don't keep Minnie waiting any [1 longer, but go to her, and I'll pay the cab | man." 11 Malcolm did as he was bidden, and when ; Mrs. Rangton joined the lovers they were j as smiling and happy aa any two aflectionj ate mortals could bo. J That day tho proper officials were notiI fied of the robbery; detectives were put on I the track of tiio affectionate pick-pocket, I onil tu-i-i <->r 1 )ir.'p rluva nftorward she was 1! caught in the net of embracing another ! man at a station above Malvern.

Twenty-two years ago, as the story rurm, Mr. Pendley was living at Sugar Kill, Ga., and was then engaged in gold mining with Moses Lott. Lott had heard of a very rich silver mine from John Lumpkin. Lumpkin had heard of it from a Baptist preacher, who lived near Carnesville; the preacher had heard of it from a man who had died near him, and who on his death-bed had given the preacher a minute description of the mine and its surroundings. Lott told Pendley that the stranger on his death-bed said that he and other South Carolinians had come out among the In dians hunting gold and silver ore; that they crossed the Oconee at Hurricane Shoals, proceeded along a well-known Indian trail to the Chattahoochee, went down the Chattaooochce to the mouth of a large creek, and in hunting a place to cross, vent up the creek some distance, where two of the Carolinians?the stranger being one?were captured by a company of Spaniards, were carried at night some four or five miles "south of the head of the creek, and were put to work in a silver mine during cacli night, and just before day ~-they took the silver ore upon their backs, went due^ .aouth from the mine five miles to an island cohered*1rith an immense swamp growth, and in the middle of this island, in a rule sliop/they worked ore and moulded the metal into Bilvor dollars ; that when the Indians found thorn out they fdled up tho mine with timber and dirt, l>uried as much aa a wagon load silver dollars in the middle of the shop, burned down the shop, released the two South Carolinians, and left; that one of the South Carolinians was lost, and that the dying man was on his way home with the groat secret, which he revealed to the preacher on his death-bed. With this account Jlr. Pendley sot out in 1S53 to find the mine answering to the description received. In 1855 he found an old mine, exactly answering the doscr'P" tion. It is situated five miles due south of Suwannee crock, in Gwinnett ?ounty, and the island is on Beaver Kuin creek, five miles due "south of the mine. On the island Mr. P. found cinders, Indian vessels and ? * - ? >- - j implements, ana me noio m me KfWUUU< which had been filled up by old Billy Chamblee, who clearcd up the island, and who testified to having found the hole open. Mr. Pendley went to work on the old mine, and continued until his small capital was spent, when he suspended. When again his means enabled him to renew his labors, the war came on and forced him to defer it. In 1S71 he resumed work again alone, followed the old tunnel by sinking shafts for nearly two hundred feet, without finding anything except unmistakable evidence of the old tunnel, which was filled with leaves, brash, oak post and timber. A few weeks ago he reached the end of the old tunnel, and found a vein of mineral ore one and a hall feet thick and fifteen feet wide. Above it there is a layer of white clay; beneath it there is a hard yellow rock, and on each side tliere is a wall of very hard, blue sandstone. The ore consists of two layers, one blueish, the other reddish brown; is very soft?somewhat cohesive?and very heavy. STAY WUEHK YOU ARK. One of the greatest drawbacks to prosperity is the restive, roving, and unsettled spirit of the people. Each ono imagines that there is an El Dorado somewhere, or that some section is more prosperous than his own, and that he must get to it before he can accomplish anything. The idea unsettles him, and if.hc does not "pull up'1 and migrate at once, he is forever thinking about it, and neglects to improve his present home :ind farm. The delusion has boon wide spread since the war, and much individual disaster has been the result. Tht curse of Beubeu seems to rest upon th? people. It is a great mistake. Contentment if the great secret of life. Old Horace struck the right key when ho said: "Happiness depends not upon pi ice nor climate, but upon the state of one's mind.'* "Boiling stones gather no moss," and the experiment of selling out and moving, in the hope of bettering the condition, often ends ir bitter disappointment and iri-etrievablc loss. Letter stay where you arc. If you arc in n o-r.ofl community, and vour lands have ?

Cultivate less ground, and make it richer every year Make plenty to eat and some to sell, anc let yonr crop be cl r profit. Plant fruil trees, have your rjv, oats, barley, wheal and clover patches; line horses, fat cows and rich butter. (Jive your wives and daughters flower gar'vns, and assist then hi collecting a goo.l assortment of roots anc cuttings. Do these simple things, and, ouj word for it, your houses will tike new hole upon your affections, and, instead of th< rickety, dilapidated establishments, anc solemn, hungry-looking countenances a< common in our country, we will find com fortable and inviting homes, where al! is love, contentment and happiness.

It appears that the signal service Bureai is embarking quite heavily in the work o constructing telegraph lines. During thi last war 550 miles of line were built fron Prescott to San Diego, on the Pacifii Coast, and when complete with its branche this line is to extend into Texas, and wil cinbrace 1,200 miles. It is proposed ti build lines on all the lakes and on the At lantic and Pacific Coast, and betwoen mili tary posts.
