Perchance you two will walk alone Next year at sumo s wont day's ol"0'", And your voioe will fall a tenderer ?o..o As you liken her chock to a rose; And thou her fuco will flush and glow With n hopeful happy rod, Outblushing all tho flowers that grow Anear lu tho guidon bud.

That sheds its hulo round us still Of soft immortal light, Whcu wc change youth's gold corouul For a cr >wn of silver white; A love for sickness and for health, For rupture and for tears; Thot will live for us, and bear with us, Through ult our mortal years. And such there is -thero aro lovers here On thc bnnl; of thc grave that stand, Who sholl cross to thc hills beyond and walk Forever hand in hand, Pruy, youth and muid, that your fate bo theirs, Who arc joined no moro to purl; For death comes not to tbs living soul, Nor ugo to tho loving heart! "Ma, why don't you ever dress up'/" uskctl lite lo Ncllio Thornton, as her mother fiu ished brushing tho child's hair, and tying her clean apron. There was a mometitury surprise on Mm. Thornton's face; hut sin; answered carelessly, "Oh, uo ono cares how I look." "Don't pa lovo to sen you look pretty?'' persisted tho child. Thc mother did not reply, but involun tarily she glanced ot her slovenly attire, tho faded und worn calico dress and dingy apron, both bearing witness to an intimate acquaintance with thu dish pau und stove - tho slip shod siiocs and soiled Blockings and she could not help romemherir how thut morning sho had appeared with un~ combed hair, and prepared her husband's breakfast before he lett homo for the neigh" boring market town. "Suro enough!" mused she, "how 1 do look!" And then memory pointed haok n few years to II neatly and tunefully dressed maiden, some times busy in her fut tier's house, again mingling with her young companions, but j never untidy in her ?ippoiiruoco, always I frosh and blnouiiutr; und this she knew, full woll, W'S a piuturo of herself when Charles Thornton first won her young heart. Such wiiB thc bride ho hud taken to his plousuut home. She waa still comely in foulures, graceful in form, but few would oall her a hand some or an uooomplishcd woman; for, ulnt! ul I other oharuotcristics wero overshadowed by this repulsivo trait. Yoi ?ho loved to seo others neal, and her house und chil dren did not seem to belong to her, HO weil kept und tidy did they look. AH U I IOU sc keeper she excelled, aud her husband Was long in acknowledging to himself tho un* welcome fuot that hu hud married un in? corrigiblo sloven. Whoo, liku too muny other young wives sho began to grow neuliuenr. io regard to her dress, lie readily excused her in his own mind mid thought, "bbc is not woll," or "abe has HO muob to do;" and perceiving no abatement in his kind attentions, sho not nrttlly concluded ho was porfVotly raiisliod. AH her family cares increased, she went less into company, shu beoatno still moto euro less of her persona! uppoarnuou, und con tented herself with s.-oing that n .tiling wai* lacking which could oontribote to tho CAM o? ..tort of her bunba nd und ehiidien, new j supposing that "o tri val a mailor a? l?if'o\V'tV . apparel could possibly effett t/'icir hopfi?'OSS/ All this ohain of circumstances, hitherto unthought of, passed beforo hor, ns tho little prattler at her sido repeated the query, "Don't Pa lovo to sec you look pretty?" "Yes, my child," sho answered, and her resolve was token. Sho would try au ex - p?riment, und ptovo whether Mr Thornton wero really indifferent on tho subject or not. Giving Nellie u picture book with whioh to amuse herself, shu went to her own room, mentally exclaiming, '"at any rato I'll never put on t!ii? rig again - not even washing day." She proceeded to her clothes press and removed ouu dress after another. Some were ragged, otb rs faded, all out of style, and some unlit to wear At length, she found one which had long ago been laid aside, as ''loo light to wear about the house " It was a nico French print, rose colored and white, and sho remembered it had once neon a favorito with her husband, Thc old adacc, "fashions como round in seven yours,'' seemed true in this case; for thu dress was mudo in thc then prevailing stylo. I '-This is just tho thing," sho thought, and shu hastened to pcrfoitn her toilet, saying to herself, "1 must alter my dark ! ginghams to wear mornings, and got it uti 1 ready before Charles comes home," Thou she released her long, dark hair from its i inprison tuon t in a most ungraceful twist, and carefully brushing its still glossy wave; I hbo plaited it in tho broad braids whioh ! Charles used to so much admire in tin ! d i}s of her girlhood. Tho unwonted task brought back man) reminiscences of those long vanished years and tears glistened in her eyes us six ' thought of the many chances timo hac ! wrought in those sho loved, but sho tuur j mured, ''What hath sadness Uko tilt I change in ourselves wo find?" In that hour she realized how tho appa reiitly trivial fault had gained tho master] . OVer lier, and imperceptibly had placed t barrier hulwacu her and the one she lovot on earth, True, ho hover chided her never apparently noticed her altered ip pcuranec-but she well knew ho no loirjc urged ber going into society, nor did In caro about receiving his friends ut his owi house, although ho was a social man ant had unco felt proud to introduce hi young wife to his large oirolc of acquain tances. Now, they seldom wont out together excepting to church, and even dressing fd that was general y too much of an effor for Mrs. Thornton. She would stay a homo '*to keep house," after preparing he. little ones to accutupuny their father; am the neighbors soon ceased expecting t meet herat public worship or in their .so cial gatherings; and so, ono by ono, tho neglected to call on her until very few o the number continued to exchange friend! civilities with her. She had wondered a this, had felt pained and mortified hereto lore. Now she clearly saw it Was her ow fault. Tho veil was removed from her oyc and tho mistake of her lifo was revealed i its true enormity. Sinocroly did sho re pent I her past error, calmly and seri oubly resolve ou future and imm?diat aim nd ment. Meanwhile her hands were not idlo am at length thc metamorphosis was complete Tho bright pink drapery hung gracefull about her form, imparting an unusual bril I ia ney to her complexion. lier bes wrought collar was fusteueJ with a costi brooch, her husband's wedding gift, whio had not scan tho light for many u ?a\ Glancing once more ut her mirror, to fa OOM ui ti her toilet needed no moro fi umhin touches, sho took her sewing and rcturuc to the sitting room. Little Nellie hud wearied of her pi ot in Imok, and was now playing with thc kittet As Mrs. Thornton entered, she clupped h( huuds in childish delight, exclaiming .?Ohl Ma, how pretty-pretty!" und run ning to her kissed her ugain and uguit Then drew her little chair close to ht sido und eagerly watched her as sh plied her needle, repairing her gingini drcs9. Just beforo it was completed, Nellie brother oumo from sohool, and pausing i thc hulf open door, Willie whispered I Churlio, '*1 guess wo'vo got oompany, fi mother's all dressed up." It was wit mingled emotions of pleasure and pain tin Mrs. Thornton observed her ohildren wei unusually docile and obedient; hastening l porform their accustomed duties withot being even reminded of them. Childrc oro natural und unaffected lovors of tl beautiful, and their intuitive porooption wi not ?lten suffer from comparison with tl opinions of maturo worldly wisdom, was with a feeling of admiration that the: ohildren now looked upon their mother, ac seemed to consider it a privilege to < something for hor. It was ''let mo g the kindlings"-"I will mako tho firo" und "may I fill tho teakettle?"-instead c .?need I do it'/"'-"I don't wont to," "wi oun't Willie?" Nellio wus too small to render much a sistnricc, hut sim often turned from li frolic with her kitten, to look nt her moth and utter some childish remarle cxprcpoi of joy and lovo. At last tho dook struck tho hour whi Mr. Thornton was expected, ond his wi proceeded to lay tho tublo with unusc earn, and lo piuco thereon several choi vianda of which sho knew ho was partim larly fond. Meanwhile, let ns form tho aoquaintun of tho absent husband nud father, who Wo find in tho neighboring town just con ploting his day's truffle J lo is u fino loo ; ing, middle uged uinn, with an unmistuk j bl? twinkle of kindly feeling in his e?

Tin y woro friends in boy? hood aud early youth, but sinco, Mr. Mor ton huo been prnotioiug law in a distant city, they havo soldom met, and this is no place to exohange their uiuny questions und answers. Mr. Thornton's fine spun of horses and light "Democrat" uro standing near by, and it needs hut little persuasion to induce Mr. Morton to acct m pa ny his friend to his, homo whioh he never hos yet visited. Tho conversation is lively and spirited. They recall tho feats of their school days aud tho experiences of after lifo, and comparo their present position in the world, with tho golden future of which thoy used to dreum. Mr. Morton is u bachelor, and very fastidious in his taste as that class of individuals are prouo to l e. The recollection of this flashes oh Mr Thornton's mind as they drive ulong to wards 'heir destination. At once his zoul in tho dialogue abates, and ho becomes, thoughtful and silent, and docs not urge his team onward, but seems willing tc afford Mr. Morton an opportunity to ad miro tho beautiful scenery on either hand -tho hills and valleys dad in tho fresh vcrduro of June-while tho lofty mountain ranges look bin ) and dim in tho distance, Ile oinnot help wondering if they will fiuii his wife in thc sumo predicament in whicli ho left her that morning, and involuntarily shrinks from introducing so slatternly ti personage to his relined and oultivatc? friend. But it is now too lite to retract his po lite invitation. They aro entering tho old ''homestead " One field more and his fer? tile farm, with his well kept fonces, ap pears in view.

Ho rushes ?uto tin sitting room. Words cannot cypress hi amazement, There sits tho very imago o his lovely bride, and a aolf conscious blusl mantles her check as he stoops to kiss he with words of joyful surprise, "Wh; Mllon!" Ila'Irr.s limo for no moro. Georgi Morton has followed him, and ho exclaims "lia!

Toa ia upon tin: table, and th' gentlemen do ample justice to ibo tamplin*, repast spread bu foro them. A happy mun it is to Charlea Thornton, who gazes will admiring fondness upon his still buautifrj Supper over, Mr. Murtoa coaxo little Nellie to sit on his lap, but sho sooi slides down nnd climbing on her father' knee, whispers confidentially, "Don1 mamma look pretty?'' Ho kisses her an answers, "Yes, my durling." Tho evening pusses away pleasantly nnc swiftly, and many n half tbrgotton smile o their lifo pilgrimago is rooullcd hy som woyinark which still gleams brightly in th distance. They both feel youngor and bet ter for their Interview, and determine neve to bocouic so like strangers again.

Such a hand some wife und children-and she's so goo a housekeeper, too! Maybe I'll settle dow some day myself-whioh pleasing idea thu night mingled with his visions. Thc next morning Mr. Thornton watohc his wife's movements with HOUIU anxiety Ho could not boar to have her destroy th favorublc impression which he was certai alic had mude ou his friend's mind, and yi some irresistible impulse forbade his offer ing any suggestions or alluding in any wu to tho dcltoiito subject so long uumontiotic betwecu them. But Mrs. Thornto needed no friendly advice. With tru womanly tact sho perceived thc advanfun, sho had gained, and was not at nil incline to relinquish it. Tho dark gingham drusi linen collar and snowy apron formed a appropriate and becoming nioniiotr Qt til for a housekeeper; and thc fabio afferde thc guest no occasion for altoring his opiti ion in regard to tho skill or affability of h amiable hostess. Marly in tho forenoo Mr. Morton took louvo of hit) hospital, friend?, being called away by pressing ul fairs ot business. Mr. mid Mrs. Thornton returned l their accustomed avocations, but it wi with renewed energy, and a new sense ? quiet happiness, no less deeply felt beean uuexprcsisod. A duy or two afterword Mr Thornton invited his wife to noemi puny him to town, saying ho thought si might do some shopping, and she, with i apparent surprise, but with hourtfolt pion ure, acceded to tho proposal. Tho follow ing Sabbath tho village gossips had amp food for their hungry eyes (to bo digeste nt tho m xt fcwiug society,) in tho nppjui onooof Mrs. Thornton ot church, clad plain but rich costume, an cntiro new outfi whioh they could not dony ''made her lo< fon years younger."

[From tho Atlouta Constitution] Pennsylvania Cotton.-A Speci men Sont by a Philadelphia Firm. Fallon Bros , a firm of Philadelphia cen t?n factors, writing under dato of the 14th, to Dircctor-Gonoral Kimball, givo eoaio lutoresting facts concerning au experi ment iu cotton raising iu Pennsylvania. Thoy say iu their letter to tho Director (J enera I: "Your notuo being tho only ono wo kuow in connection with thc Atlanta Exposition, and even that imperfectly, aud having .something o( interest to have pluccd there, wc tako tho liberty of addressing you. Should you not bc tho proper personage, our letter aud exhibit can bo hatidcd to tho proper ono Wo forward you this day a small paokago of cotton and a plant us specimens of a half acre grown by us this summer iu Dolawaro couuty, Pcnnayvania. As this is tho first attempt ever made on so largo a scale, so far North planted iu thc opcu air whioh has becu fruitful. Wo feel proud of our Buooeos and desire to exhibit it at your exposition.

As a muller of interest wo beg to stuto tho following facts os to thu timo of start" ing aud method of glowing. Cur spriug being very late-fiost up lo tho 28th of May-wc wore unable to plant before theo, our earth being rather sandy and well fer tilized. In thc first month thc growth was very slow, owing to the drouth which greatly stunted thc plants. Thc first bloom appeared July thc lOili. From that time forward rapid progresa followed, so that by September 10th bolls wcro had. These, howevor, did not break for a long time, not till thc 20th of September, when they opened very faBt, and now present a very fino appearance.

Notwithstanding it is "Yutikcc cotton,'' it will compare with tho gcucral Southern cotton, and is better than most of it that is grown at tho South. Tho plum we forward is to show the average sizo of our plants and number of bolls. On the 5th of this month wc had a very heavy frost. Out of one thousand of our plants to-day only four hundred plants aro in any way effected. Tho balanco oro rather benefited, as tho bolls wore oponed by it.

"'here is a groat deal of weather this year. Increasing Cotton Production. Tho lust hsuc of Harper's Magazine I contains tin interesting paper on cotton and tho rapid increase in aorcugo and produo tion, from thc pen of Henry W. Grady, from whioh tho following is an extract: "lb may bo well to remark at tho outset that tho production of ootton in tho South ia praotiottlly without limit. It waa 1839 be foro tho Ainorioun ootton ?fop reaohed 1,000,000 bales, and tho highest poiut cvor reaohed in tho days of slavery was a trillo ohovo 4,500,000 bales. Tho orop of 1880 81 io about 2,000,000 in oxocssof this, and thoro oro tho3o who boliovo that a crop of 8,000,000 hales is among tho certainties of tho uo2t few years. Tho boavy inoroaso of tho cotton crop is duo onliroly to thc in-, oreado of ootton ucrorgc brought about by tho usc of fertilizers. Millions of aeres of lund forinorly thought to bo boyond tho possiblo limit of tho cotton bolt have boon made tho best cotton lauds by being artifi cially enriched. In North Carolina alono tho limit of cotton produotiou has boca moved twenty tuiles Northward oud twenty miles Westward, and tho half of Georgia, on whioh no cotton was grown twenty yoara ago, now produces fully half tho crop of thoStato. Tho 'area of low production,' QB t li o Atlantic States aro brought to tho front by artificial stimulation, is moving West ward, nud is now coutral in Alabama and Florida. But tho inoroaso io aoreago, as large us it is, wilt bc but a emull factor ia tho iooroano of production compared to tho intensifying thc cultivation of tho laud now in uso. Under tho present looso sys tom of planting thc ovorogo yield is bolter than ono halo to ikroc acres. This could bo onyity increased to a bale au nore. In Georgia five bales have been raised ou ono aoro, and u yield of three bales to tho aero is credited to several localities. Presidont Morehead, of the Mississippi Valley Cotton Planters' Association, says that tho entire crop of tho prcsont year might bayo becu easily raised in fourteen cuunlie , along tho Mississippi Uiver, lt will bo r?en, there fore, that tho capacity of tho South to produoo ootton is prAotioally limitless; and when wo' consider thc enormous dcmp.ud for ootton goods now opcuing up from new climes and peoples wc may eoncludo that the near future will ace crops compared to whioh tho orop of tho post year, worth $300,000,000, will seem small."
