With tearful ere* and trembling band*

'Now, air, go and finith chopping that

P " * "*
The nest morning at breakfast, John
w?t mitted. An examination of hi* room
ho wed thet he bad taken hi* little bundle
of elothe*, and gave evidence to hi*
1'ather that he had gone for good.
"Naver mind," eaid he, ube,ll toon be
back."
Thirteen year* have pa**ed since John
Morton left the old homestead, and eon
trary to hi* father'* prediction, he had not
I come back.
[ In the meantime, thing* had not gone
I on smoothly at the farm. Fanner Mor
I ton had given up the whole charge of the
I farm to George, who had married a girl
I in the neighborhood, and was now the
' father of five children. Years before, In
| a caie of emergency, Farmer Morton bad
mortgaged the farm to a small amount, j
and ever aince the marriage of George, in
| spite of alt bis exertion*, the mortgage
had been gaining ground, until now the
place tnu?t be sold, as he could not meet
the terma of agreement.
mi.:. ? * ? ?
. < vim m iHTioia mow to <teorgo and
the old man, hut there wa* no help for it;
their friend* and neighbors were no beti
tar off than theraeelre*, and therefor*
could not help them had they been ever
ao much inclined.
| It wa* a hitter cold night in December,
and they were seated around the kitchen
fire. It wa* to be their laet night at home,
for the next day would be the aale, and <
then they would be houaeleaa. Farmer
Morton ant with hie head buried in bia
hand*. At times he would raiae it up and
gaxe upon some cheriahed article, aa if to
take a laat farewell, and then bowing it
again, would aob aloud.
| "Coma, coma, father," aaid George,
"don't be to down hearted. Chaer op,
cheer up. I am young yet ; and If I lire,
and hard work will do it, you ahall coma
back (o the old placa yet."
"I cannot hope for it, George," return)
ed the old man. "It will require year* of
auceeaeful labor; and I am old and cannot
laat long. I had hoped to die in the old
nouae, out l am arrant it cannot b?.?
Sixty y#nr? I bar* paaaed hare, boy and
man, and it ia bard to leare now?"
They wara interrupted by a knock at
the door, and upon opening it, there entered
a young man very shabbily drened.
For a moment be atood eurreying the
group, with teara in bia eyee. and than
reached forth hia hand, exclaiming:
"Ooorge, do you not recognize roe F*
"Father, it ia John," exolaimed George,
joyfully seizing hia hand, and leading him
toward* hia father. #
The old man aroee, and turning towarda
him, exclaimed :
"John, my aoo I" at the same time
etretching forth bia arma?then suddenly j
drawing himself op to his foil height, he
aid, "John, for thirteen year* yoo hare
been a stranget to roe; during that time
wa bar* known neither where you were,
nor what yon were doicg; can you give
me the hand of an honeet man I"
* 1 can, sirP replied John, proudly, ap?l
the next moment he wae folded in his
father'* arm*.
Next fallowed inquiries from John as
to how things had gone in his absence; J
and he soon laerned the whole atory.
"Ae for you," said George, * ! do not
need to a?k how the world baa gone with
yen?that coat speaks for itself. Bat
newer mind ; I hare soma better clothes
op stairs, and you are welcome to take
your pick. But what bare you been do
ing. Jack ; trying to get a living by
books I"
"Yea," replied Joha, "I bare lived en?
tirely by booksP
"And a poor living you hare bed, III

oat much."
"Hot ft Mama that we shall be equate
to-morrow, father,H a*id John, p!eae?eti
I/.
"That'e very true," aaaivered hie father,
rather Ratify, "but bad you ateek to the
tmrm with George, r.hia had not beeet"
"Nevsr mind, father," aaid John, "go
to bed now, and George and I will try
and make eonoe provision for the future."
After the old man bad left then, John
aaid he wee rather fatigued, and believed
that he would retire aleo,
-Hut," aaid George, "you have not in?
quired as to our future prospects. Do
you not wish to know f"
"No," aaid John, rather shortly, "oot
tonight; I don't feel interested." And
taking bia light, with ft yawn, be left the
room.
George felt hurt. "After nil," thought
be, "he has changed, lie don't teem to
are what becomea of ua. Nevermind?
poor fellow, no doubt he baa aeeo hard
timea, until thej have hardened even hie
heart."
The next morning found John Morton
engaged in a noi*y romp with the whole
of his brother's children. Indeed, eo far
did he carry it, that he received a cutting
rebuke from hia father, for his heartlessnesa.
"I cfn't help it, father,** he replied,
"everything reminds roe ao much of child
hood, that I cannot realize that I am a
roan."
At twelve o'clock the auctioneer appeared,
in company with thoae who were
disposed to bid for the place. Immediately
upon their arrival, John took the
auctioneer aside and oonversed with him
earnestly for a few momenta. Soon after
the auctioneer mounted upon the atepa,
sod said :
"Gentlemen, I have been requested by
the celebrated author, Morton J. Hall, of
Hoston, to bid upon this place for bim as
high as thirty five hundred dollars. If
any of you feel disposed to bid higher
than that we will proceed, otherwise, there
is no need."
As do one seamed disposed to make toy
advance upon that bid, tka place was de<
clared sold, and aoon (be family was
again left alone.
"Well," said the old man at dinner,
"the worst is over ; and I shouldn't won
der if we could hire the place frotn this
Mr. Mall, who seems to be a city man."
"Oh, yea," said John, "I know you
can. Me don't care anything about farmi
tng. I know him well."
"Dou't say any more !" cried George,
jumping up, and seizing both his brother's
bauds, "that one expression betrays you ;
he don't like fanning.' John, you John,
you are this Morton J. Mail ! I half sua
peeled it this morning; for you never
was bard hearted when a boy, and you
didn't act the part very wall."
The old man cried for joy.
"I see now, John," said hv, "I did not
understand you as a boy. I thought
books wonld he your ruin ; but, instead,
tbev have saved me from want."
'You are right, father," said John, "I
am worth, to day, ten tbousaod dollars,
all earned by my pen ; while, had I stay
-j i - si ' - *
eu uy me urm, I anouid have been aa
poor?yea, poorer than I found you ; for
yon and George are good faimera, while
f could never fix ray tnmd upon it; in
fact, it ia evident that T waa not born to
be a farmer."

Atrooioui Murder In Jones County,
Horth Carolina.
On Sunday night the 8th, at 9 o'clock,
a party of armed negroes, fire in number
went to the bouse of Col. John II. Neth
ercutt near Trenton, and demanded ad
mittance. Col. N. opened the door to see
who was there when he was immediately
shot and almost instantly killed. Tbey
then went into the bouse and after beating
Mrs. Nethercutt severely with a chair
and locking up the children in a barn
proceeded to rob the bouse. We have
known Col. Nethercutt, for a long liioe,
and know him to b&vo been one or tbe
most inoffensive living,and tbe only thing
that these fiends in human shape could
have murdered him for, was plunder, and
bis having taken an active part in tbe
Rebellion.?Newbern Commerce.
Col. Nethercutt commanded the 00th
N. C. Regiment. Tbe Newbern Nepub
lican gives tbe following aceoant of the
horrible affair :
"On Sunday night, while Col. Nether.
I cutt end his family were seeted around
I tbe fire in the sitting room, some persons
I entered the house, and before Mr. Neth*
ercutt who was facing tbe fire place, could
turn, some one discharged a musket, almost
instantly killing Mr. N., the ball
j passing through his chest.
"The murderers, who are reported to
be five colored men, then attacked Mrs.
Nethercutt by striking her upon the head
I with a chair- T?Anor? ?t.?* \I?
?r-.. ??? ?'?
Nethercutt's skull was broken by the
blow nod that she cannot survive. The
murderer then proceeded to lock the chib
dren of the family in the smoke house
next to the dwelling, and ransacked and
robbed the house. During the night the
children made their escape from the
smoke bouse and gave tho alarm to the
neighbors.
"WorJ was at once sent to Trenton and
Newbern and parties were started to ferret
out the murderers or pursue them.?
Major Van Horn the commandant of this
post, at once sent a detachment of troops
I ...j ? ?
| uuuer command oi LI. Fletcher to the
I scene of the outrage.
Sheriff Colgrove of Jonee county ii
also in pursuit.
' "This horrible murder hu caused great
excitement and gloom throughout the
counties bordering on the scene of the
tragedy, and the opinion ia universal that
the most energetic steps should be taken
to punish the fiendish murJerers. No
steps, labors or mooey ought to be spared
in the effort to bring these out laws to
justice and it is to be hoped that rewards
will be Offered to aid in bringing tbem
to light.
"Col. Nethercutt was a gentleman in
middle age, who bad served hia Country
as Sheriff before the war and held a position
as Major and afterwards as Colonel
io the Confederate service. Many com
Aiding rumors were in circulation as to
' the probable motive of the murderers,
but there can be no doubt, if the above
report be a true one, that robbery was
their object. Col. Nethercutt has been a
very quiet and peaceable ettizan since the
close of the war, and no act of bis since
then could have made him an enemy.?
It will be remembered by our readers thai
the Uniou soldiers who were husg at
Kinstoa in 1864 were alleged deserters
I from Nethercutls Battalion. The men
' alleged that they were recruited with the
, understanding that they should not b?
taken out of the State and deserted when
the battalion started for Virginia. This
unfortunate affair made enemiee for Col.
N., who was, however entirely blameless
for the order which sent his command out
of the State.
