HOW I WAS CAPTURED.
I was sitting in my stUjdy, reading
Moliere, when she entered the room
-perfectly unannounced at that.
I looked up, and saw an angel in
white Marseilles, flounced ; jaunty
blue hat, about the size of .a saucer,.
%ped: to* on? ?de, inj? vinost. bew??t^
ing", heart-breaking mattier; aTidsfie
wore cream-colored kids and carried
a white pongee-taken all in all, a
fairy !
She smiled at me, and held out her
hand.
I took it mechanically. What did
this mean ?
She pouted, ah ! those cherry lips !
She stamped her little No. 1 impa
tiently on the floor.
" You don't seem, very glad to see
me,'1 she said pettishly
?I murmured that I -was delighted
-entranced. So I was-such vis
ions were not of every day occur
rence to me.
" Wejl," said she, gleefully, " that's
comfort ? Now, they told me that you
wouldn't receive me-^that I would
be turned out of doors.", ' j .,
' .Reptile," said I. \i j jj
" But'I came-ana you are not an
gry ?"
" Angry !
I ?ould say no more..
Then *h# walk ed np .and down the
room.
" How do you like my dress ?" she
asked, revolving beforif me as if on a
pivot.
I murmured something about an
g?l?c superbness !
" I did intend," she said, half
c7ouoing4y; * to get a dress of gray
satteens, with the underskirt cut as
usual, and trimmed with deep plating
-the spaces to be filled with bias
folds above the platings, in.a band of
velvet silk-the side gores rounded
Up Jciur injcli^? ilpnger, Riid.'looked up
in a panier. That, with a pretty lit
tle sacque with open sleeves, trimmed
to match the unuer-dres64 would be
nice, wouldn't it ?"
, I.rquruiured an unqualified assent
-riot'that ? Understand' what ahe
was talking about, for she uttered
the full description in one breath
but then I did not know what she
was saying.
" But," ?aid' slie, " I bought the
,Marsei|les,b.ecause I liked it. Don't
?yon J*Vf; J , Fi ;<??.-!
"I adm,ire .yow .taste,", I said
faintly, for I was fast losiug my sen
'sps.jtljough .wandering as to who arid
what she was. '
"You're a' dear, good fellow!"
said she, rapturously-; and I know
.we'll get on famously together !"
So ?he intended to stav here! I was
getting into very deep water.
'^cnjitueii,'' ^hiKco^tinoexlt show
'meWriirplace'td pit my ririrres, and
then you and I will have a talk."
I mechanically pointed out a small
room opening out of the library:
She hurried in. I sat like1 a statue
carved from adamant. Deep water.
Presently she returned, divested
of little hat, pongee and kids; I
She cast a searching glance areund
the library. .
" Horrid dirty !" she said disdain
fully ; when has it becn cleaned?"
u About* yearago-,"-Isaid meekly.
She gave vent to a pretty little
IferAnt ? " A yea?f Shoeing ! " Oh,
I c?ttldh'< sit doit? in ? ?riom that

must be put to rights."
1 She aaicf this in a very determined
tone, and then set to work. She con
verted my li??n eotit into' an apron,
tied a- eunnibg little handkerchief
?verthat^rettf'^ie?d, and snatching

What did all this mean ? I consult
ed Moliere,, my standing authority,
but Moliere could give no explanation.
Could she be an angel sent to cast a

life? Perhaps? But did angels wear

She suddenly paused, and heh
her arma,: and said ; " Roll np

Tdid roll the. white sleeves
and then" immediately"'1 scouted

My feelings during this brief apee
had been very painful * I gradna
awoke to the feet that it was all
hlunder-rthatnhe visit of tbis ani
was not intended for me, and I f
very bitter .over the ?discovery ; b
my duly'was plain.
"My de?r child;" said I, humbl
" will you have the kindness to i
form me what your name is !"
.She opened her eyes, and th<
laughed.
" Why," 8he said, " surely you Ci
not. have forgot me ? Little Bess, y<
know."
" Little Bess ?" I repeated.
" Bessie Ludlow," she said grav
ly. " Your niece."
"No," said I sadly; "not m
neice. -I have no neicd ! There hi
been some error-my natue ia'Floyd !
"Then," said she, "you-are m

Now you do remember me, don't you ?
" Sorry to disappoint you, Mis
Ludlow, ' said I, oalmly, " but I ai
not your une'e. You saw the nam
of R. Floyd on the door ; my nam
is Robert."
" Then, said the helpless, " wher
is ray uncle ?"
I felt bound to confess my ignc
rance, where-at shesatlooking credu
lous. I explained that, strange as i
might seem, I did not know every
body personally, who happened b
rejoice in the same surname as my
self.
" But," I said, cheerfully, seeinj
her look blank, we can soon find out
Here is a directory. Now, your un
clea name ie Richard Floyd?"
" YesT; ; -
. V Hie occupation or profes ion ?"
" Eh?"
" What does -he do for a living ?'
"Nothing. Henrich-awful rich!'
"Ah! a gentleman? Let us hop
they are. ; Now get ready, and we'l
go and find your uncle."
She stood by my side in the street
and looked ten times more bewitch
ing than ever. We walked alone
streets, and how male friends stared
and wondered and envied me.
We found Mr. Floyd just stepping
intohi8 carriage, in front of his house.
He was big, pompous and vulgar. I
tapped him on the shoulder :
" Your neice, Mr. Floyd," I said,
and commencer! to explain, when he
cut me short.
"Nothing of the kind-not my
neice-an adventuress, no doubt.
You're a su/indler, I suppose. Drive
on."
I inwardly vowed to assassinate
that man some dark night. My com
panion grasped her pongee fiercely.
" Oh, I could beat him," she said
savagely. I trembled at this out
burst
" But, however," she said laugh
ing; "that's not my uncle. 'He's!-a
very quiet man.? He only came to
see me once-I suppose because I ?ra
a poor relation.
Here she laughed as if being a
poor relation, was something funny
which it is uti Then we tried the
second Mr. Floyd ; he was the uncle.
We found him reading a book of ser
mons. I accosted him, and introdu
ced myself- and nis neice. Theta I
explained everything,' and turned?to
go... He stopped me, and inquired'if
X would do him a favor. I answered
him that I would.
Thon,* ?ua?d he . cahniy, " take
this young lady and put her in the
?cars. I desire her to return immedi
ately to Cedar Farm.".
?. Uncle ?" ahe-said.
* " Neice," said he, " do as I bid you.
I ?ra your only friend. Don't maka
me your enemy by foolishness. Stay
at Cedar Farm, and I am your friend ;
leave tl?dar Farm, and you may re
gret it. Go!"
We went. She sobbed-looked
pretti?r.ithanr ever.
" I can't go back," she replied.
"They don't know I.left. 1 am
afraid to go back."
"Then," said I, "what will you
do?"
" I don't know, said Bhe defiantly,
and looking prettier still, "but I
won^t go back."
I found myself in a nice" predica
I ment-young lady, aged eighteen, on
' my. hands,.a bachelor, aged thjriy.
A sudden thought ! I would !
" My dear ?ri," 8aid I, " I will
take care of yo(i."
" Youl" (astonished and prettier.)
" Yes, I. Marry me, and instead
of my neice, be my wife. Will you ?:.'
, She could not. give an antfwer im

mediately. Such important que

silent about two minutes, and the
said)'" I like you."

For the Advert?-ter. .
MIAMI, Mo., Jan. 7,1873.
Dear Advertiser,-After my ratur
with my family from Arkansas, I wrol
you on the 19th November- last, an ax
count of my trip, which I suppose di
not reach you.
Since then I have been highly favore
of the Lord in my work in Miami. Ou
Church has been revived and much er
couraged, in a series of meetings whic
continued for three weeks, twice eau
day. At its close we baptized nine tee:
happy converts, which added tb th
number, seventeen, which had bee
baptized during the summer, mak
thirty-six since I became pastor of th
Church. ' ' "
The Lord laid his hand upon me h
your State about a year ago, and put m
down in this place ; and my life has beei
attended with, remarkabla displaya o
his mercy from that time, to thia. O
these, I have not time now, nor yoi
space for an enumeration?
Since November 19th, we have ha<
winter indeed, at least in this part o
Missouri. Our Thermometer has Btoot
as low as twenty-two degrees below zero
During the last four weeks our weathei
has been generally somewhat milder
yet freezing cold, and the fall of sub*
twenty-two inches, twelve inches o
which fell in one day, Jan. ?).
In places it is drifted in beds to a deptt
of six feet; and now the clouds and al
aspects of the weather indicate more
snow. The t*. oldest inhabitant" remem?
bera only two snows in our State as deep
as this now is ; one about seventeen, and
the other about thirty-five years ago.
About a'month ago our River became
gorged with thin floating ice. Within
forty hours from' that time, men were
walking across the River on the ice, and
within about three days men were dri
ving two-horse teams across, and droves
of hogs were crossing ; and the Miami
pastor, to enjoy the novelty of crossing
River on ice, felt impelled to lead his
wife and babe across and back. They
did not need to be led however; ice un
der their feet seemed so much like a
rock that they began at once to move
with perfect sang-froid.
Now, the ice is safe for any common
team, and much hauling is done on it.
^Walking or riding over_U1you. would
imagino thafrHCB RlVCrTs a HO
ice ; but no, you might see squads of
men in various directions cutting ice, kt
us turn aside and see. Some men are
scraping and piling up snow ; some are
running cross-cut saws, ono end down
in the River, and some with ice-hooks
arc pulling the great blocks from the
water as they arc flonted down by the
rapid current to the end of a long gap
which has been made by taking out the
ice. These blocks aro about two and a
half feet long and sixteen inches square.
We ask, is it possible that this ice is
only sixteen inches in thickness, and
one of the men replies "Yes, hore in the
current, near the edge it Ls not moro
than two feet thick." Where men are
thus cutting, tho water of the River is
within half an inch of the top of the ice.
The men stand, and even the wagons
pass near its edge. We express surprise
that such loads do not break otf the ice,
and our attention is called to six loads of
ice gotten up and laid near the edge, and
we are told that if we were to, pile six
loads more there, it would not crack the
solid sheet of ice on the water.
What a trip the waters of that old Riv
er are making now, from Montana to St.
Louis-further than from me to you,
under that great sheet of ice !
An old Confederate would call this
"going into winter-quarters," a thing
which many of us.as soldiers desired
long, but did not live to see.
I and Mrs. H. and Lula are quite well.
Very truly yours,
V E. W. HORNE.
MIAMI, Mo., Jan. 17, 1873.
Bear Advertiser,-A friend in your
County writes to me under date Dec. 31,
saying, " Wo hear of your burnlug corn
for fuel out West. This staggers us very
much in our poor plnoy-woods."
Jn conversation with a friend this,
morning, I mentioned this, and he pre
sented me with the following, which he
says he clipped from tho "Kansas City
Time? :
Cora for Fuel.
[? rom Council Bluffe (Iowa) Nonpariol,
Dec. 5.]
Wc are glad to seo that many of our
citizens are taking advantage of tlie low
price of born to lay in heavy Supplies af
it for fuel. We have oxpori in en ted wi th
it the last week, and fina that it is an ad
mirable substitute for (both wood and
coal, and that at present ?trices there is
both economy and comfort in its use.
A toa of <?rjB. 33' buahelSj^at 17 cents
per bushel, is $5 00. We consider this
equal to a cord of hard wood, as supplied
and mei-8tired in -our market, at $7 ,* tho
cutting of this-'cord; VH fof tot* $8?0.
Thus makinga saving of nearly $3 acord.
For k: tchou fuel it Ls superior to wood,
except hickory, and cheaper than that.
It makes a very hot fire with a great deal
of blaze. We judge that three tons of
corn are equal to the heat of one ton of
hard cos.l, while In economy of its use it.
ia equal to one and a half tons' of coal.
In small families and small houses there
. is ni ways great waste of hard coal, while
there is none In the use of corn. Besides
this, there is the public benefit of retain
ing in the country all the money we send
to Po un sylvan ia for coal, and feed our
farmers by consuming their products.
Corn i? being delivered in 'Miami how

! I am not ai all stagger od, however, but
.tm fully, prepared to loam, and to teach
others, that a maa living in, a vast prai
rie, rich enough to produce three tons of
corn per acre, whole pinn tn tion^gf which
do not produce one cord of wood, where
he must send across three states fdr coal,
may burn corn foriuel, and may at the

in so doing. ,. 'j*

among :our( Reading, agriculturists

possible, repealed. , . ' . ,j
A s-there has been for some..til
great difference of opinion, iq
State.as to the legal,provisions.w
should be established IQ regard tc
subject of fencing, I desire ito ?
at Borne length, some of the rea
which induce me to recommend i
abolit iou of eur present laws, and
substitution .of others;- :f .>.?..?./ ?
? lat. Th?- building df "? fend?,
eluding the splitting and^hauliri
the rails, is a tax upon 'the' cs j
and labor of the' farmer, equal,'1
eatimated',' to'atrleast one-third of
market value of our ?verage co:
landa. The mon?y and work 1
expended would, if applied to
cultivation of the land, increase,
a very large, per cent?ge, both
area cultivated and ' the product
thereof.
2d. Vast 'bodies"of arable Ja
that are' now untilled' for want
fencing timber,, and' for which,
that account, there is no .sale,"'wo
then find ready purchasers among
agricultural laborera? and be yield
plentiful harvests,-thus cheapen
many of the necessaries Of lire, i
adding' to the wealth Of the State.
3d. To require the farmer to fe
out hie neighbor's etock, instead
requiring the owner of the atock
fence it in, is a palpable act of inj
tice, and a monstrous instancaspf :
ly in a State whose wealth is agrie
tural, and depends almost entir
on tillage, ana not on pasturage.
Why should I be required to bu
a fence around my farm, at a hes
cost, in order to keep my nejghbc
cow out of my growing crop, wi
I derive no' benefit from that cow ?
Why should his propertv, consi
ing ot a few roving animals', be m<
sacred in the eye of the law th
the few acres, fi om which, by indi
trioua toil, I derive my daily brea
. 18 it not just and fair,'thai eve
man should be. required 'to exerci
j^sxmaUejCare for hie own p;:opert
and not aubject ma neigntfor-ccns;
cost to prevent that property becoi
ing the means of injury to any otb
'clasa of property ?
4th. The fences themselves occu]
a considerable portion of the clean
land, thus reducing the cultiv?t!
area.
5th. In proportion as the demar
for fencing timber exhausts the suj
ply of trees in any locality, the pri<
of wood for fuel increases, which
a consideration of great moment in
country where there is no develoj
ment of strata of coal.
6th. Science and experience unit
to pro verbat, in regions where th
forests are being exhausted, the fa]
of rain is proportionally lessenec
and the lands .. re parched by lon]
drought, that not only destroy vege
talion, bnt, from the failure of watei
prove fatal to stock of all kinds tha
are permitted to run at large. I havi
read that this is notably the case ii
the prairie belt of Texas and New
Mexico ; and I have been reliably in
formed that it is strikingly exhibitec
in those sections of Virginia where
in the late war, the trees were de
stroyed for fuel and other purposes;
along the lines of military encamp
ments. . . ' --
7th. Cattle and other fctook- tan
be fenced in more cheaply and se
curely than th?y can be fenced ont.
8ti. The system of fencing '.n stock,
whiie it lessens the original expense
of establishing a farm, will tend to
increase the yield per acre, by pre
serving a large quantity of the nat
ural manures, for application td the
tilled soil. ? ?. .
9th. Enclosed pastures will tend
to incite among our agriculturists the
cultivation of improved grasses, and
also to an improvement in the breed
of stock;.in both'of which particu
lars South Carolinais far behind most
of her sister States.
10th. Our farmers may .be better
enabled to rest their lands, by culti
vating several tracta in rotation,
without the necessity of fencing each,
thusrecuperatingsoils that are thr?at
ened witn total exhaustion by con
tinuous cultivation, unaided by prop
er fertilizers'.
11th. The fence law repels "the
agricultural immigrants of the North
am States, whose cultivated indus
try and thrifty modea of farming are
BO much needed in thia State, where
there are three acres of arable land
lying fallow for every acre there is
that is tilled. That most valuable
class of laborers shrink from coming
into a country or State, in which, be
fore they can safely runa furrow in
Et fifty acre field, they must expend,
in some cases, ,more money ana la
bor to build a ; fence, than J ar?. re
quired to build a houee wherein .to
live. ? / -
12th. It ia not only cheaper to
fence cattle in th?ri to fence them'
out, but it is far safer for the 'farmer,
rendering .bis crop lesa liabl? to dam
age from the inroads of stock run
ning.,at large. ?any vexatious law
auita. and the. killing and wounding pf '
hunaroda of head of cattle that! make
breaches through, the .fences, to the
Sre&t injury of growing-orops? can
ms surely be pf evented. ' .

erty'un our raji roads ii ;greattjr; fn- |
creaked by stock, running altyrg'?. 14

? The answer to-the fi rai.'. obj
maybe lo und-in the following,,
mate decuc$on from.the prinpij
which it seems to.be/basedi: u<. u
Suppose that ten persons,,eet

the .theory pfth is, obj ?cii?n ]B?& ?

of the i money; . of tie, j nine v iaxj
must be locked, up aa .so much, i

of their industry against destruc
by their neighbor's, fi ve hundred
lars worth of .cattle.. ,
'. Indeed, the eame expense of,f
ing would be -required ii the ; ne
bor owneit but one head of, -roi
stock; and thus nine: tanners W?
have to expend at least a thoue
dollars each to build a fence to 1
out from their crops one twenty
dollar cow. '
This .fair 'and simple statemeii
the theory underlying th? fenc?
se?ms tb'me'sumcient to dembnst!
its injustice and impolity id'our a
cultural community.
That the consequences tb 'the sc
landholder, who is obliged to enc
his stock, will not be as injurioui
is asserted, in that objection,'is eyi
ed by;the fact^that this .very plas
cattle owners; are, .I haye.'; been^ t<
.notably..prosperous on the.'sea..?c
?3la?7?brrtr purH?tete,-w &ckJx?gL
though.of great extent, and conta
ing an ahundanoe of winter past
age for outlying stock, have been
many years exempt from the, ope
tions of -the. fence laws, and, now, c
tain but few enclosed farms.
Thesecond objection can be E
by having a sufficient area of the v
bottoms and pine barrens enclosed
pastures, the proprietors charging
small fee per annum.
The third objection, would be ob
ated by driving the cattle to wati
or taking the water to the stock ;
by having a well and a trough in t
pasture ground. ?
The sum of tire" "whole nrgume
against ?ftr pres?nt-disastrd?s fen
system is, that all farmers are "coi
pelled to: build and keep up' fenc
which they do not need, because son
jattle'-owners'' desire to' graze the
stock on land which they do m
jwn. . .I-.J(III?.
I should ad j that ? provender f<
stock would be grea?ly 'increased ?
product, and consequently cheaps
sd, by the greater area that will sun
