CHAPTER I.
Npbilj dear out fellow, bow glad I sin
to seo you again !"
"Aud I to seo you, Bertie !"
Thc two brotherr clasped band? in tiiat
strenuous grasp which, with Anglo-Saxon
men, expresses KO much, and gazed into
each other'? faces with eye? that were
slightly misted. Fivo years lind passed
since tn cy last saw each other, aud many
arc the changes which can be wrought
during that length of limo on human
faces, us welt as in human lives. Col
onel Philip Thureton, of tho Egyptian
army, bad grown many'shades darker,
and somewhat older in appearance, since,
liku Childe Harold, he bode his native
land good-night, anti sailed away to* tbc
climes of tho sun ; whilo Bertie Egerton,
whom be left a gay stripling, with tho
world all before him-a world i<?ady
enough to show ita most attractive Bide
to one so sunny in nature, so charming
in manner, so libr: jtiy endowed with tho
good things of fortune-had undergone a
deeper change. The bright boy whom
Thurston well remembered, bad vanished
forever, and left in his place a man w:f .<
u somewhat worn and almost reckless ex
pression on his handsome face, when the
light of cordial gludness died out of it.
Of this change, Thurston, however.
WILS too wiso to Speak. Thc bro th ors hat!
met on tho deck of nu ocean-steamer, and
there were a hundred things to say
questions to ask and answer-while they
entered a carriage and were driven to
Egerton's hotel. It was nut until after
dinner that anything like confidential
conversation took place. Then, an they
were smoking together, with the Hummer
twilight dying away over tho city roofs
and Bpires; Egerton said, in n studiedly
careless voice: "If you lind delayed your
coming u little longer, Phil, you would
nut have found me on this sido of tho
Atlantic. I lind mado nil my arrunge
menta to go abroad when I received your
letter."
"Indeed!" said Thurston. "Whcro
did you think of going ?"
"?b, X don't know," replied tho other,
indifferently. "To Europe for tho sum
mer. I suppose. In thu autumn I meant
to turn eastward, and pay you n visit.
Egypt must be a pleasant couptry to live
?11, I think. If I pitched niy tent tliw.-o
wo might have ti comfortable time-you
could drill, and mureil, und counter
march, to your heart's content, while I
reclined limier a palm-tree, or floated on
the Nih. "
"So that is your idea of life in Egypt,
is it ?" said Thurston, with n laugh. " J t
is A good enough country for mc-a sol
dier by nature nnd profession, with no
fortune besido my ?word-but it would
not suit you. Thc novelty of everything
might amuse you for a time, but I should
bo sorry for you to think of pitching your
tent tbero permanently."
"As well there as anywhere else," said
Egerton, with a shadow of gloom falling
over his face. "Novelty is what I. want.
I nm tired to death of tho life ? know-I
might forget myself, perhaps, in on'pthat
I didn't know. I have felt lately us FT I
should Uko to escapo from tho tumult
and fret of modern civilization, to tho
ancient and unchangeable East."
Thurston took bis cigar from bis lip:.,
and knocked tho feathery ashes ott |
agni 11 MI tho ?edge of the open window by
which they sat, before ho said :
"Tbero ls not a great deal of tho un-jl
changeable East to bo found in Egypt
now-unless you go to Thebes, which' ia
not at tho present time a cheerful place
ot residence, whatever it may hnvo 'been
three thousand years ago. Cairo, under
tho new regime, luis quito aa much
'tumult and Irct' in it as any city of Eu
rope. But this disgust of modern civili
sation is altogether now with you - what
has caused it?"
"Satiety, I suppose," Egerton replied,
looking at tho young moon os it hung, a
Boldon boat, in tho pearly sky. "? be
eve tbero is no doubt but that if a mnn
wero restricted to a diet of ortolans and
champagne, ho would tire of them after
a vylulc. For five years I. havo run
through every fi,ru* of social -dlaulpation,
and been ?ufiiciently courted and amused.
But it baa palled at last. I nm tired of j
tho frivolity that has mado tho sum of j
my lifo I I am sick of dancing and flirt
ing, of clubs aud.drawing rooms.. If f
db not go away and turi? idler or savage
for n time, I think I shall blow out my
brains I"
Ho" had forgotten himself, and in thc
last sentenco there was so much passion
ate earnestness-on tho outlines of tho j
handsome face such a deepening reckless
ness-that Thurston was fairly startled.
Yet what could he say ? .Tho malady
was plain enough, but it must needs bo a
skillful physician who can minister to a I
mind or spirit deceased. So, for tv min
ute, there was silence. Carriages wero
roiling below, pedestrians passing, iamps
gleaming through the deepening dusk ; a
child's laugh floated up together with a
red balloon : some diatanco down the
street a band of musicians were playing.
On this medley of sound Thurston's voice
broke.
"If tho necessity for chango of sceno is
?o urgent," he said, witli a tolerably suc
cessful attempt at lightness of tone, "vori
must not let me d?tala yon in America.
So long os I am with you. it does not
matter whore my furlough is spentj
After I have transacted & little necessary
business, ? ain jruuuy tu ??COQlp?iiy y OU
to Paris or Stamboul."
"Nay, i am not quito BO scrSsh a dog
as that," said Egerton, with a smile-but
Thurston uoticsd that his lip trembled
uudor the silky-brown mustache. "It
ought to be enough for mo to bo with
you," ho wont on, "without dragging you
over thc ocean again? when you nave just
mad. a long journey to seo your homo
anti your friends. You'll be patient jjfrith
mo, I kuow. I'm not quite myself in all
respects, but with regard to you"-and
his hana foll on hts brother's shoulder
-"I havo net changedjOdM iota."
"Do you think I doubt that?" asked
Thurston. "Do you think I could doubt
it under any circumstances? "Wo bave
not been like ordinary brothers,. Bertie,
at any period of our lives-you know
that as well as I do." 'Th?Qfc God, no bit?
remesa has over como ?olwvcu us-nor
eyer will, I think! Of course, I saw, ns
soon aa I looked at your face, that some
change had passed over-you; but you
must understand that I do not ask tho
cause of it. Qb er stay, sneak or be
(dient, without fear of misconception
from mo." ?\ j
Egerton pushed back his chair abrupt*
ly and rose. .

until I met her : but, compared to what
I felt for her, every feeling that I had
over known for any other WOUIAU was like
water unto wino ten times told. I was
warned from tho first that she was a cruel
coquette, and would throw a man's heart
?way like a useless toy when she was
dune with it ; but such warnings were
leas to me than the idlest wind. To bo
with her was sufficient ; to hear her voice,
to touch her hand, to look into her eyes
-such eves, Phil I I have never seen uny
others of thc same tint ; and as for ex

Hut"-with an impatient accent-"I
must not maunder like this. Thc cud
came os it had been foretold. Whcu I
grew too earnest to amuse lier any longer,
she turned to ice and bude me go. I
wearied her, alie said, coldly ; she had
I nothing to give mo ; she fancied that I
had understood that flirtation was only
flirtation ; if I had made a mistake it
was not her fault. And so all ended ! -
Well, no doubt you think mo weak to
suffer such a woman to rob life of all
saver for me. But most women who play
this gamo arc bunglers more or less, while
Agatha Loring la an export. When ?hu
is dons with a man, he is fit for nothing
but to go to tho devil as fast as may be.
."And do you think such a woman
worth going to thc devil for?" asked
Thurston, with indignation. "Why can
you not put her out of your heart through
scorn? Great Heaven ! if I loved her
hotter than my life, and she showed her
self in such colors, it would bc enough.
I should thrust her aside, and go my way
aa if abo did not exist."
"Your theories would fall away like
cobwebs if Agatha Loring once laid her
apell on you," said Ejjerton. "I know I
am a fool, but the is a sorceress. No
ordinary woman could fill u man's life
with tho consciousness of her and the
need of her, and then wreck it us she
does. When abo acnt mo away, J waa
Uko a wretch hurled in ono moment out
of heaven into hell ! I do not under
stand yet how I fui lcd to blow out my
brains, unless it was that I shrank from
hoing tho subject of n three days' talk.
I did not cvon think of you, Phil-con
sider that !"
"My poor boy !" said Thurston. In
voluntarily he roso und put his arm across
trie young man'? shoulders in their old,
boyish fashion. More ho could not say.
Iiis heart was hot as hu thought of the
woman who had wrought such work
through cruelty or c?prico, but he kn wv
that to apeak of her as silo deserved
would for the present avail nothing.
Egerton, on hia part, was touched by
this sympathy. "Youarc exactly what
yoii u?wuy/i were, F?i??,*' ur, oniu. grate
fully. "Dear old fellow ! ic would bea

All our relations are cager to seo you,
and welcome yon I to their hospitable

lieve.) People are nmuzingly hospitable,
you know, when thoy are only caned
upon to appreciate success. I havo press
ing invitations for you from all uncles,
and aunts, ?nd cousins to thc tenth de
gree."
"Not ouo of whom I care to meet,"
aaid Thurston. "Apart from my desiro
to you. 2 have chiefly como ic
America to rec:uit my health-which ia
a littlo enervated by five years In Egypt
-and to attond lo somo business con
cerning which there is co haste. There
fore, iu order to accomplish the first two
objects, I proposo that we abai! turn our
faces toward tho old homo of our boy
hood. Let us go to Beechwood. I
should like to ride through tho woods
and ash in the river again, i used to
think, in tho East, that ono whiff of the
pine-odor.; would bo- better thnn the
fragrance of Araby the Blest."
"I havo not been thero for years," said
Egerton. "My agent attends to tho busi
ness. The plantation is rented out, you
know, but tho house is unoccupied, and
if you desire we can go there. All places
are alike to mo. WV will go to-morrow,
if you like,''.
Bo they started tho next day, for
Thurston perceived more and more clear
ly that hts brother's caso' waa one de
manding prompt treatment of somo kind.
The Beechwood idea had come to him
like an inspiration, and os an inspiration
ho acted upon it. To tako Egerton away
from all associations which intensified
his pain, to break tho chain or later
habit, and recall tho fresh, simple pleas
ures of earlier years, was what he wished
to do, and ho felt sanguine that the rc
I.cult would be all that LQ d*?irod;
This impression lasted for a few days
a?i?f iuoy had taken up their abode at
Beechwood--ono of those old Southern
houses around which, even whon desert
ed, still seems to linger the charm of the
hospitable existence they once enshrined
-but il did not last more than a few
tdays. It was soon apparent thafcEger?
ton's malady was beyond tho reach of
auch remedies os this. Aa Thurston
watched him, he realized how deeply tho
poisoned shaft had struck. Tho spriug
of all joyousuf^a. and, hope seemed broken
with tho young man. He exerted him
self to appear cheerful, he made an effort
to feign interest In the old pursuits, but
bis brother's eyes-rendered by affection
almost aa keen os those of a woman's
saw through the pretense readily, saw
tho deadly indifference, the apathy born
Ol. pnitl, lim nsu?ic??uw?? ?uai> m w?iv?
was almost fierce.
Nevertheless, ho still honed that thia
acute stage of tho discaso might pass, and
coalescence Bot in. But ?daya length
ened into weeks; and. after a month had
elapsed, he acknowledged to himself that
such an expectation waa fruitless. In
deed, Egerton had of late seemed to grow
worse instead of better. Ho '-as at times
intensely irritable, and again depressed

"Light n cigar, then, und join mein

to say."
To this Egerton made no demur. The
cigar was lighted, and, as they welted
back and forth over the grassy slope,
Thurston said :
"I sec plainly that this lifo doc* not

are restless and wretched ; therefore, as I
projioaed to come, let inc propose to go.
There ja nothing to detain us herc. I
am ready to start to-morror to go any

"You arc very kind, Phil," replied
Egerton, after a moment's puuae, ''and
you have borne with my mooda better

alarting to go anywhere I like, you make
a mistake. There ia nowhere I like.

turned from over the Canadian horde
tells us these stories. He waa in thu hi

two votera ns of thc hotel bar, layir

Tho keeper of a certain bonrdi
house, when Andrew Jackson was Pr

plained that a Tennesseean, who !

"Get his note," said old Hickory, '

LETTER FROM HEW YORK.
From alt (teeasioi.as t;orrcapou?eni.
What ie to bo seen at Gilmore's Gar
den? Music. looney is sweet, oed in
ancient times it was highly esteemed.
Virgil called it "donum cadette." Vvxto
critus recommended it to uti who would
live. On OIK occasion a man was pre
sented to thc Emperor Augustus, who
arked him how it was that he obtained
such an old agc. He answered, "Tutu*
inrite CJ?M cleo." As honey in strength
ening to the body and sweet to the taste,
so is music strengthening Ul thc soul and
sweet to tl e ear.
What a beautiful song ia "Good Night,"
which runs:
" 'Tis time t?> go," I .?aid, and you
You kissed mc twice upon the cheek ;
No? tell me, love, do dreams come true?
Most nrchly did my darling -moak :
"Why some come true mid Mime do not ;
Dreams like this do, I quite believe;"
And then idie kissed me twice, and got
Her waist entangled in my sleeve.
And thc beautiful ballad:
When wc are parted let me ii"
lu some fond corner of thy heart,
.Silent, and from the world apart,
Like a forgotten melody ;
Forgotten by the world beside,
Cherished by one and one alone,
For ?onie lolled memory of ?is own.
So let me in thy heart abide.
Yes, such are the fancies which crowd
one's mind while bc listens to thc beauti
ful music at fillmore's Garden. As a
summer resort Gilmore's is now the
favorite place. It is now open for the
season, and ls far more attractive than
heretofore. It is completely transformed
and re-arranged throughout the entire
building, (the old hippodrome.) Thc
walks ure moro spacious, ^larding ample
room for the immense crowd which at
tends every evening to enjoy thc superb
music of Gilmore'? Military Band. This
garden is truly til*) only respectable sum
mer retreat in the city, except the Park.
Without doubt it is thc most magnificent
place of public entertainment in the
world. Tile decorations are all now, and
of the richest designs, consisting of na
tional flags and coat of arms of each
State in the Union, surrounded by stars
and stripes. Thousands of different col
ored lights are arched across thc dome,
and lovely fountains of cold water dash
ing their spray hither and thither, and
tine statuary, and an enormous stage in
the centre, tastily adorn the Garden.
Everything is gotten up on an exten
sive and elaborate plan. No time has
been spared in gathering together the
most expensive planta, trees, flowers and
shrubs that could be found in all parts ol
thc world. The statuary aud fountains
arc scattered among thc soft palms and
rarest exotics. Tho "Grand Cascade,"
villi its mountain of falling waters, add?
^.brilliancy to tho charming ?cone, where
^millions of vari-colorcd lights and calci
ums illuminate the enchanting rpectaclc
of unexampled beauty, and bring out all
tho glories of u grand panorama.
Gilmore'? great Military Hand, wliicl
has been proclaimed the finest in thii
country, has bceu making extraordinary
efforts, tbiough a tedious scries of rehear
sal?, in preparing their "rej>etaire" foi
this season which, from tho difficulty ant
variety of thc music to be produced
cannot tail to win tao appreciation am
approval of all lovers of music. It is Mr
Gilmore'? intention to attend the np
proaching Paris Exposition with thc en
tire band, where they hope to bc able t<
carry away tho first prize ns the ronrc
acntative band of America. The fol
lowing will give your readers some fain
conception of tho extent of thin militar
organization : Thc favorite soloists ar

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Minaret*
We call especial nttcntiun of our farmer
readers lo Un second paragraph under
our caption in another column-Chips.
We have simplified this selection from
Prof. Ville'? little book by reducing his
"Hectares" to acres, aud his "Kilo*
grammes" Lo pounds. It will be thc im
mediate conclusion of mr^t of our readers
that this is very heavy manuring, and
costs to much for lands that are not
worth in market half ibo prico of thc
manure to be annually applied. Tiny
may bo so, perhaps is so, but then cadi
farmer can reduce the quantity recom
mended of each ingredient to suit tho
capacity of his soil.
There is ono idea in II'IH formula that
docs not exactly agree with our expe
rience. Prof Ville suggests a cheaper
manure fur barley than for wheat, and
the same for oats and rye that he does
for Barley. Our experience is ilia-, land
can bo stimulated by commercial fertili
zers or oy mauurcs lo such nu extent as
to make tho wheat crop overdo itself, and
therefore fail to remunerate by producing
a greater proportion of straw than grain,
and no such result Inn ever occurred with
us in manuring barley. Thc heavier
manuring the better thc barley crop.
Wo once saw 06 bushels of wheat taken
from a single acre in Fairfield County.
Wo never have grown over 35 bushels on
a single acre. We have frequently grown
GO bushel* of barley on an acre, and have
averaged over 25 per acre on ten acre?.
And similar treatment of similar laud
would not yield us an average of over lt)
bushels of wheat.
Our experience, too, with oats and ryo
would not suggest that they and barley
should bo treated exactly alike or bc
classified together as Professor Ville sug
gests. Wo have known seventy bushels
of oats grown upon a single nero in Ab
beville County, and wc have even found
that on manured upland oats will pro
portion to thc manure applied. Land so
manured that it would produce fifteen
bushels of wheat, would, under tho samo
circumstances, prod nee about twenty
bushels of barley or over forty bushels of
oats.
As to rye, wc scarcely know what to
say. Every farmer knows that "rye will
grow as high as the fence that encloses
it," bc tho laud rich or poor ; but wheth
er tho application of caustic fertilizers
would increase thc yield in equal propor
tion lo the increase in other grains, we
aro unable, to say. Wo once sowed one
third of au acre", that had beeu heavily
cow penned, in rye, and harvested nine
bushels of excellent grain. Tho same
land under the samo circumstances would
bavo nreduced 'irebabl'* eighteen bushels
of barley, twenty bushels of oats and as
much wheat as rye. We give these in
stances of our experience, and venture
our judgment upon the comparative re
sults of the same laud in different grain
crops, eo as to advise our renders, that
however perfect agricultv 1 chemistry
may bc in fermentation a pt.Tectmanure
for any crop, there is much behind these
simple prescriptions that must bc reck
oned in tho calculation beforo the results
can bc anticipated with unerring certain
ty. The preparation and productivo
rapacity of the soil, tho climate and sea
sons, tho time of attack upon the crop by
dry or wet, hot or cold weather, and per
haps other hidden influences wrapt up in
tho arcaua of Nature, arc all influences
or. contingencies that must bc considered ;
so that whether thc farmer bo Paul or
Arp?los, be must saliently await results
that will bo boyonu his power to control.
Any farmer, however, who understands
the capacity ofilia farm, and itsadaptcd
ness to grow any kind of grain, can with
these formulas in his hand prepare a mu
mire that will, under ordiuary circum
stances, warrant his anticipating an
abundant harvest of grain.
We need not tell them that if the
farmers combino together mid purchase
in bulk, thc acid phosphate of limo can
be bought in Charleston at about one and
a quarter cents per pound. The two in
gredients, nitrate of potassa and sulphate
of ammonia, aro nbunduutly supplied for
all red lands by n liberal application of I
cotton seed. Tho sulphate of limo is
plaster of Paris, and is worth about half |
as much ns the acid phosphate of lime.
Gray lands will ticed nu additional quan
tity of potash, which h cheap,, cr can in
a great degree be supplied by a liberal
uso of ashes. j
If we were called upon to suggest a
manure for small grains anywhere in the
cotton bolt, we would answer thus, basing
our reply upon our exp?rience compared
with the thoughts advanced by Prof.
Ville: Wheat-On all red lands that
needed manuring, acid phosphate, 800
lbs. ; cotton seed, 40 bushels, or J,Gu?) or
1,200 lbs., and a sprinkling of loo or 150
lbs. of plaster of Paris applied broadcast
in latte- part of February, just after the
grain had ocen harrowed with a two
horse barrow. Oats-200 lbs. acid phos
Ehate, 20 bushels nf cotton sred, ana pcr
aps no plaster. On gray or sandy landa
we would mix in 100 lbs. of potash per
acre for tho wheat. We don't think nay
application of commercial 'fertilizers or
cotton seed ou worn lands would be re
munerative to barley and rye, because
tho rye would not produce enough bushela
of grain to warrant the application, aud
because the barley does not seem to yield
80 wo'i upon any lands fertilized with
these 'ommerciai manures, ss it docs
when n.. ..le rich by cow-penning or sheep
hurdling. On fresh landa we would not
apply either of these manures so heavily,
simply because tho increased yield would
not warrant tho expenditure. There is a
certain capacity In all lands, beyond
which a superabundance of manure can
not carry thc product the first or any
Bingie jv?., uu. mien tua laiuiar anuir?
thia capacity from experience he should
manure up to it, and gradually increase
it by anually enlarging tho at.ount of
manure applied.
This, wo take it, ia scientific farming,
and thal is tho kiud and only kind we
now nerd in thia country. We want
reason, thu^ht, brains, applied to the
daily experiences of tho farm, and until
we get this there can bo but little hepe
of material progress in our system of
farming. And tuero ia no branch of ag
riculture to which more thought can and
ahould be applied than tho one of which
wo are now treating-Ibo raakiog and ap
plication of plant food in just such quan
tities aa will increase thc capacity of the
soil at the same time thnt it increases
tho annual product.-News and Courier.

- "You seem to walk moro erect than
usual, my friend." "Yes ; I have been
straightened by circumstances."
O, ticorge! What a Damsd.
She was young and fair, and a tear
f[listened in ncr eye aa aim laid her curly
lead ou his shoulder aud exclaimed :
*'0, George! I think if I found you
did not love me I should die."
"My darling," he answered, passing
his hand gently around her dimpled chin,
"I will always love you. Do you think
I would marry you if I did not feel sure
of it. In a few days at thc altar I shall
vow to love you all my life, and I will
keep my vow."
A lovely kind of beatific happiness:
played for a moment like sunshine oil
lier lips, and then she whispered :
"O, George! I like lo hear you talk
like that; you have been KO good to me.
You -have given mc a diamond locket,
und a gold watch and chain, and ringi
that au angel might wear outside her
gloves ami not he ashamed, aud if I
thought that one day you'd he sorry you'd;
given mu all these nico tilings and want
theui back again I should break my
heart !"
He held her gently against his manly
breast, ami answered with a quavering
voice :
"O, my own darling ! there is nothiog
on earth that could happen that would
make mc repent giving you a few tokens
of my love, or make me want them hack
again."
.She sprang from his arms like a joyous
deer, she shook hack her sunny curls, and
with a whole poem in her hazel eyes, ex
claimed :
"U, George! you have taken a load
from my hc'irt. I've come to say that 1
can't marry von alter all, because i've
seen somebody I like better, and I
thought you'd want your presents hack
again."
Au American Dish.
An amusing story is told, of which it
ia averred that no less a personage than
the late George Peabody, the celebrated
American banker, was the hero. It ap
pears that Mr. Peabody had invited three
Englishmen to meet two Americans at
dinner, and on this occasion, having re
ceived as a gift ten car? of green corn,
determined to renew the rccollectbns of
bia youth, astonish bis English and please
his American guests by having it served
up in the well-known American style.
Accordingly, at a proper time, plates
of butter and salt were placed before
each guest, and the banker, with soiine
thing of an air ol' mystery, aiiiiuuaced
that lie was now about to treat his guests
to a well-knovn and delicious American
dish of food, cooked in thc American
manner. It would be no novelty gp his
American guests, hut the Euglijliiicn
must watch how it was disposed af by
them, and follow their example nndjunu
nor in disposing of it, Then, ntattrnal.
entered a stately servant bearing ajargc
covered dish, which he deposited soi
ly before Mr. Peabody. In a m
more, in obedience to the baukcr'i
he whisked o?r thc cover, and iii
fore the astonished guests, was dLir?ayed
a pile of ten boiled corncobs !
Thc banker gazed for an inst nt in
mute horror and dismay, and then found
voice to demand an explanation, vhich
was finally reached when the ca k was
summoned-a fellow who had ne er be
fore seen an ear of Indian corp, n his
life. He replied that he had ? lowed
his master's direction to "strip oft ill thc
outside before boiling," which I c had
done most faithfully, not only he des, as
was intended, but grains also, so Sat tho
oanker had only what is, in Amalea, the
mute evidence of the feast to indicate
whnt were his good intentions! to his
guests._
