After Thurston bad accompanied bia
brother to the seaport whence bc cm
barfcjd for Europe, and had aeon tho shir
which liore him %lnk below the verge,"
be waa couacioua of a strange setae of
isolation 'ul dcaolation. It waa true
ri Kat the andre on which bo stood waa
,l?t Wlij4 Oltivo land-a land where be
itnd'rcTntioitg by the dozen, and friends
(in the conventional senao of that term)
by the score ; but he had come to sec
Hortic-and Hortic was gone. As ls
^mutinies the case with men of bis order,
the ?unburned soldier bad a very tender
heurt, and this heart ached now not only
with tho devolution already mentioned,
but with thu thought of bia incapacity to
relieve one single pang of thc pam which
bis brother was suffering.
It was the latter reflection chiefly
which drew bis dark brows together as he
\set'his fuco cityward nguin, leaving the
docks and shipping, tho tossing waves
and vanishing snip behind. "God grant
Unit all the Bullering she has caused inav
bc returned upon her before abe dies 1 '
he : aid to himself; and it is noe difficult
to tell to which ono cf all thc daughters
ol Evo his wiall referred.
Turning b<a thoughts from Bertie, it
became a serious question, what be should
. do with himardf during thc next month.
It waa true that certain uffairs of busiucss
demanded bis attention, but ut the most
thev would only claim a part of his time,
and how he should dispose of tho re
mainder was an enigma. He might
travel ; but to travel alono is a dreary
undertaking, unless tho traveler has some
definite object in view, or is so wrapped
up in an absorbing feeling aa to stand in
nr> ticed of companionship. Thcro w?ro
summer resorts ; but the idea of lounging
with a newspaper and u cigar on an
hotel-piazza, listening to wate ring-placo
gossip, or floating on the tide of watering
place dissipation, required more fortitude
or more frivolity than.Thurston possess
ed. Ho thought of his relations, for
there occasionally comos ? *\mci in a
m nil's: lifo, when be feels inclined to seek
those bf his^own blood ; but such length
of absence, sud? difference of association,
intervened between himself and all of bia
kindred, that there was not u singlo door
to which ho could go certain of a vel
como or of congenial aociely. Ho aighed
slightly, and dismissed lue thought. If
tho worst came to tho worst in the matter
of ennui, ho could follow Ucrtio's ex
ample and go abroad as soon as lila busi
nesa would permit bim to do ao.
li.ll happened oddly-aa things some
times do-that nn hour later, as he atood
by the counter of a bank which ho bad
entered, n gentleman, after watching bim
closely for a minute, came up with out
stretched hand.
"I hard!" think I car* be mistaken "
ho said. '.'Aro you not Philip Thurs
ton?"
"Tbs sanie," Thuraton answered, turn
ing quickly. Kia glauco bad scarcely
fallen, on thc fnco before him when a
laugh" carno into bis eyes. "You aro
Cameron Jenninga," lio said, shaking
nanda warmly. "I should have known
you any wt ere."
"You ought-if only by thia token,"
sahl |he oilier, touching a slight near on
lil? forehead. "You gavo mo thia with a
hatchet when wo were both about five
years old. When did you como back to
America? 1 did not Know you were in
tho country."
Thurston replied by a brief detail of
tho why and wherefore of bia presence.
Ms.;-Jeruirngs looked rt little surprised
wjiejii he:heard:of Egerton's doparturo for
Europe f but ho was a mah ot sufficient
tact to mnke no further comment than to
say : "I aaw Hortic ot tho Mardi Gras in
* ' Now Orleans last spring, and I thought
ho was not in quito hia usual health and
spirits. No doubt ho nceda chango of
air. Wo ail need it more or less, especi
ally in aumtner. Havo you aeon nono of
your old friends? Why, thia is ahamc
f ul I You shall gb home with mo, und
my wife will kill a fatted calf for you
with tho greatest pleasure. Don't vou
rcniomberlier as Lucy Den maad i Sh o
is a cousin of youre."
"I rem vi iiber ber," answered Thurston,
conscious of an absoluto thrill of regard
for Lucy Donmcad, whoso existence up
to that moment ho bad forgotten. "She
uscdjpjbp ycfyiPretty." - ri_
,"?3?;ois very pretty yet." sold Jj(r.; Jen
nings, with commenuablo pride, "and
Sy as n lark; Bbc Alls ! Sans-Houci
at's the name of my country-place
with company every aunimer, and makes
things as pleasant as they can bo made.
Sans-Soucl ia the plana for you, my dear
- fellow I Can't you leave tbo city with
mo to-morrow? I am only hore on busi
ness, and ? find it excessively hot."
In Thuraton's press?t frame of mind it
did not require "much persuasion to in
duce bim to entertain thia proposal very
favorably. Ho dined with Mr. Jennings,
and tho noxt day found him by that gen
tleman's side in tho train which boro
thom away from the placo where he had
last seen poor nertie's haggard face. .
Hans-Soucl was several hundred miles
distant-but what are hundreds of miles
when .steam annihilates time and spaco ?
On the evening of tho second day they
- djf^oharked at a .way ?station, and found
a laudau drnwh by two black horses
waiting for them.
.-, "This is pleasant." said. Mr. Jenn inga,
ia u tono of relief, as they rodo along a
shade-flecked road, with, fresh breezes
corning to their faces, green hills on all
sldca, and breadths of rich mcadow-iand
making a pastoral foreground. "I think
you'll like the country, Thurston, and I
hope you'll Uko Sans-Souci, Lucy lind
? ?ay house fall when I left, and wo are
pretty eure not to find it ?mptv now."
A drive of five or six miles brought
them to this! homo of hospitality-a pic
turesque villa crowning a gently-swelling
hill, with n winding stream and fertilo
valley below. On tho placea as they
drovo up stood a very small lady very
elaborately dressed, wno welcomed Mr.
Jennings affectionately and Thurston
warmly.
"Of course I remember you." she said
to tho latter, when bo hazarded the ex?
? pression of a ?ei?r 'thitt she did scV "I
think wc had ? flirtation before you went
away, and five years is not auch an age
j u thisjiart of the World, whatever it may
be lu Jivgypi. ? um charmed io see you,
and. I hope wo shall keep you with ua
. Bomo time. Yes, Cameron. I received :
your telegram. Cousin Philip's room is
ready."
Aa Cousin Philip waa conducted to his
room ho felt thaL after all, rclatlona had
their uses. Thia bowery chamber, ao
tastefully yet Inexpensively furnished,
with a background to all its windows of
green foliage touched with Iow-alantiug,
' golden sunbeams, was very different from
eny apartment In which he had found
Eiiiins^f for a long timo. He made his
toilet with an old. sensation of satisfac
tion, and then ?st down by< one of these
Windows to wab-j the srmscL while wait?,
lng for the sound of ? beti which he felt
sure would presently rinjg below. In
stead of tho sunset, howover, .he soon?
found b&Mif Ubt?^?i? a Very'. different
S<_nft-. " .
immediately below the ground . ela?frdj
atrfiy its a d?pression, and, as shrubbery
. had been set cut thickly, and grew lux
iviaotly bore, tho dell thua inclosed was
altogether concealed fromUio lower win?:
dows of the house. Thurston's casement
commanded a bird's eye view of it, and
when he .glanced down tho first thing
which ho perceived was a woman's dress
thrown into relief against the deep-green
boefc-ground.r. >/??te?%rth?ttg about, thia
dreas-perhapa'the grace of ita fashion,
or tin) manner in which lt was woro-faU
tracted lils attention, but he could not
seo the face of the wearer for a broad
straw-hat which effectually concealed &
s. ' Sho was alu.!*? on a rustie bench, ?nd by
INICIA 3s3 oJ??u Crdkiug eagerly, ft.?
wo? evident from his gestures, though uo
word reached Thurston's ears.
He watched the scene for sorao timo
amused, as trifles will amuso ono under
cert*!;- circumstances. Thcro is an ex
presi?n of iiguro as weil os of face, and
r.ttAtudcs. often betray as much os the
countenance. Tho attitude? iii the
present instance betrayed a good deal.
"Tho man is in earnest, tho woman in
different," he said to himself. As tho
thought passed thrqugb hi? mind, ho saw
lha man suddenly toke ona of tho lady's
hands and raise ft to his lips. Tho sig
nificant little actiou mude Thurston draw
back with a sense of playing the spy.
Ho rose .iud left thc window.
A moment later thc bell for which he
hud been waiting rung, and he went
down-stairs. As lie entered tho drawing
room, full of sunset light and gay with a
ripple>of voices and laughter, bis hostess
met him with the samo cordiality which
made her welcome so charming.
"You havo no idea what a lion wo aro
prepared to make of you, Cousin Philip,"
sho said, smiling- brightly ''It is not
often that wo have a genuine nineteenth
century free-lancc in our midst, and if
we bore you with questions about life in
Egypt and tho court of tho kh?dive, you
must exemo us. You shnll take mo in
to dinner, and then I will have an oppor
tunity to ask my questions first."
Needless to fay what Thurston replied,
and when a fow minutes after he found
himself by Mrs. Jcnning's. side, over
looking a dinner-table round which a
company of eight or len were gathered,
he began to feel more and more that Fate
had been kind to him. Before leaving
thc drawing-room ho had been introduced
to the majority of tho guests, but, glanc
ing new over tho assembled face?, ho no
ticed two '.hieb he had not seen before,
and whi'.h instinct assured him belonged
to the figures which had played a bit of
comedy below his window.
I havo written "two faces," yet in truth
ho saw for some time only one-and that
was feminine. Not n strictly beautiful
face. I*?:? a faco that he felt at once might
hold a fascination deeper than mero
beauty. A palo complexion, clear-cut
features, odd limpid eyes under dark
lashes, dark, straight brows, and a Greek
forehead, from whicli rich masses of
dusky hair waved-these things made up
a wholo which wakened not so much ad
miration as interest. Tho mouth was
cold and almost disdainful when at rest,
but, when tho mobile lips Hpoko or
smiled, their play of expression was sin
gularly winning.
Thc man by this woman's sido-ovi
I dently tho samo who hud kissed her
hand-was dark, slight, and handsome,
with something of French grace in his
manner and bearing. Thurston watched
tho pair with a good deal of interest, and
presently under cover of an aiiimated
conversation near by, asked Mrs. Jen
nings who they were.
'.Those," raid she, "aro the most noted
members of our party. I fancy you may
havo heard of tno young lady : shu m
Miss Loring, a famous bolto and beauty."
Thurston H brow lowered.
"Do you mean," ho said-and uncon
sciously bia voico grew stern-"that sho
is Agatha Loring V'
Mrs. Jennings shot a significant ghiuco
at him. i
"Yes, that is Agatha Loring," she an
swered. "You havo probably hoard of
hor from poor Bcrtio, who was ono of her
victims. No one can deny that sho is
a heartless coquette, and yet ono cannot
help liking hor. Even you will find
?ourself fascinated by her before you
now what you aro about."
Ho smiled a little grimly.
"You must allow mc to doubt that,"
hs said. "Nevertheless, I will ask you
to present mo to lier after dinner, and, if
you will bo HO kind, I should prefer that
?ou did not mention my relationship to
tortio."
"If vou desire lt, certainly not," said
Mrs. Jennings, who was very quick to
take a hint or suggestion. "No ono herc
knows of tho relationship except Carno?
ron^arid I will request him not to men?
lion it. Do you observo that handsome
man sitting by Agatha? He belongs to
tho genus lady-killer, and is as noted in
hi? une os sho is in hers. It was a coso
of vnecV aiv'oting Greek, but I think
Agatha hos vanquished hi'. : already,
though they only met three o- .our days
ago. His ?ame is Virien, and ho is from
Now Orleans."
After dinner, when tho ladies retired
to the drawing-room, Mrs. Jennings sat
down by Miss Loriug's side.
"You were so lato m making your ap
pearance before dinner, Agatha, that I
was not able to present my cousin. Col
onel Thurston, to yon," sho said. "I
shall do so, with your pern??i?uu, pres
ently-but mindi ho is not to serve as
food for po?* dor."
"On what ground is ho to be exempt?"
asked Miss Loring, with a laugh. "I
rather Uko his appearance, if you mean
thesunburaed Dian who WAS talking to
you at dinner."
"He has a right to bo sunburned,"
said Mn?, Jennings. "He ls in the Egyp
tian army."
"Indeed 1 Well, I did not question his
right: vou know ; and I havo often felt
that if I wero a man I should go to Egypt
or Spain, or somewhere eke whoro fir-M
ing waa to bo done and honor wes, in
stead of sitting down in tho old, old rou
tine of social and agricultural life, I at a
tired to death of tho ordinary men ons
meeta. If your cousin brings a fresh
element into my life, I shall bc pro*
foundly grateful to him."
"I doubt if ho will bo profoundly grate
ful to you in the end ; but I have warned
him, and I ca.: do nc more."
"You woro very unkind, thou. Do
you imagino that with a mau liko that
n simple, straigthforward soldier, I havo
no doubt-I should bo tho samo creature
that I am with Autoino Virion, for in
stance?"
"You aro liko Cleopatra in your 'infin
ito variety,' I know very woll, my dear ;
but I have never heard that you were
lesa dangerous in one form than anothor ;
and 'a simple, straightforward soldier* is
lust tho person you will take pleasure in
beguiling."
"You flo mo injustice-but hush I hero
lin comes.. Introduce him, pray."
Mrs. Jennings beckoned with her fan
abd, / ty ?beetiorfeo to her surohions,'
Thurston crossed tho drawing-room. A
moment later he had bceu presented to
Miss Loring, and when, after a fow more

down in her vacant chair.
It was willi a very deliberate purposo
that ho did so. In all his lifo ne had
never felt a deeper, moro bitter enmity
toward any human creature than he now
felt toward this fair, graceful woman.
?8 ho looked at her face, tho vision of
?/oor Bertie's haggard countenance rose
before him and blotted out all ita beauty.
An almost savage desire, tc return Tipon
her pang for pang the suffering which
sho bad caused took possession of him
vir l can find some means to strike har, ?
shall not hesitate to do so, in memory of
Bcrtio'a wrong," he said to himself ; and
3hilo these thoughts were in his mind,
catha Loving looked at him and felt in*
etinctively that there waa something
strange--something to which she was not
accustomed- --In the steady regard of the
deep-set ey?*"' t <*? ~t~\y
"Mw. Jennings was just telling me
that you are in tito Egyptian armyCol
oriel Thurston," she said, "and I ro
marked to hor that, if I were a man, it ia
where /should like to be^; Women are
porfcrce born te live in a social tiead
raill; but I cannot imagine how a man
caa do so, when freedom, fortune, and
honor, ore all to bo won, os of old, by hia
?w?M."
"You forget," said Thurston, "that to
the majority' of fighting, even in case
of necessity, ls irkxoqie.work. There, are
only a few hero and thcro who' are soT
dicra by nature, And to thom an active
lifo ia so necessary-tho profession of
arms, with all its drawbacks, so atttac
tiv?-th?; they deserve no credit for cm
braclup it."
"I kHould belong to that claw if I were
a man," aha said. "I have always had a
passionate longing fur adventure, novelty,
conquest. No doubt," with a smile,
"you think that ? am talking like a ro
mantic young lady, who 'reckons not the
battle and the march,' nor tho price that
must be paid for everything worth hav
ing. But this longing of winch I sneak
is more than a mere sentiment. It ia
sometimes so atrong that I feel ns if I
were possessed by a power urging mo to
bc something, to do something, to achieve
something ; and then ! look round and
ask myself- what?"
The dladainful expression which he
had noticed lurking in thc lines of her
mouth came out aa alie uttered thc last
words, and still curled her lip after abe
ceased speaking.
"From what I have heard of you, Misa
Loring," Thur: Um said, with a directness
of manner vcrv different from tb o gal
lantry with which many men would have
uttered the words, "I should notjudgo
that you havo been greatly in doubt
what to do and achieve."
"I have achieved a certain degree of
social success," alie answered, carelessly.
"But if you could know-if you could
eveu imagino-the weariness and little
ness of tho lifo which it represents, you
would feel inclined to pity mc."
"What an actress !" ho thought.
Aloud, ho said, "Women generally do
not seem to bo oppreascd by thc weari
ness and littlcnesa of such a life."
"That is very true. Will you think
me st rong-ini ruled if I any that I often
look at them in wonder? A new dress,
a new lover, a flirtation, or a ball-these
things are enough to satisfy most of my
sex. They don't satisfy me, and in that
sentence you have the secret of my dis
content; for I own, Colonel Thurston,
that I am a very discontented woman !"
"80 you belong to thc class of women
who taire part in what is known as thc
modern revolt," he said, with n slightly
sarcastic laugh. "I cannot congratulate
you, Miss Loving. ? think that \n many
respects tho old ways are best, it is even
better for women to bc content with
dresses, flirtations, and balls, than to be
clamoring for new careers, und aiming at
heights of which their mothers never
dreamed."
"Men of your class always feel that
way. I believe," said abe, without any sign
of discomposure. "The more distinct
ly feminine a woman is, the better you
like her-is it not KO? I auppae I do be
long to the claw of women who revolt,
but not exactly in thc manner of which
you speak: I do not clamor for a career
which ia closed to mc, nor pim nt heights
beyond my reach. I only feel that I
have a fund of power and energy within
mo which, for want of a proper outlet,
often finds an improper ono, and will
continue to do so to tho cud, I suppose."
"You menn to imply, in other words,"
said Thurston, bluntly, "thnt you break
rucn's hearts because you cannot break
lii?ir li?fu'?."
She uttered u low, sweet peal of laugh
i -.
"That is a terso and epigrammatic way
of Bumming thc matter up ; and perhaps
it is a true one. But do you believe 111
brokon hearts, Colonel Thurston ? Hon
estly. / do not. Fancy may bc disap
pointed and vanity mortified, but a
broken heart is n phenomenon I have
never seen."
"Probably you have never seen it bc
sause you diu not caro to recognize it,"
mid Thurston ; and ao deep was the
?vrath which he felt that his voice sound .
:d as never man's voice had sounded be
foro in Agatha Lonny's cars.
Sho gazed at him iu surprise, waving n
fun back ?nd forth In a hand so white
iud slender that ho was constrained to
jbacrve it.
"Perhaps you are right," she said, after
1 moment's pause. "Sympathy is some
times necessary for comprehension, and I
.?onfess I have no sympathy with mala
iies of thc heart."
"And yet you nra a woman 1" aaid
Thurston,' indignantly.
"A woman!" abe" repeated. "Well,
rca, I cannot deny tho fact; and yet I
often feel inclined to echo Clytemnestra's
words :
'.You g?&t gods,
Why did you fashion mo in this soft mold?
alvo me these lengths of i::lky hnir? these
hands
Too delicately dimpled? and these arms
Too white, too weak ? yet leavo the man's
heart in mo .
To mar your mastcrp.i '.c?'
Now if you think mo ridiculously mock
heroic, you will nt h?_? nut think that I
flatter myself, Colonel Thurston, since
Clytemnestra was not an estimable char
acter?"
"I think that you may ?md your
womnn's heart acme day, Miss I<orir*g,"
ho said, "and then you may learn abettor
appreciation of thc suffering you now re
gard so lightly."
Hu ruse os nu spoke, for be felt that bu
had had enough of thia, and Viricn waa
approaching with bia eloquent eyea and
finely-outlined face-tho moat irresistible
of heroes of flirtation.
Thurston gave a glance at him as ho
walked away-a critical glance, which
tho creole naturally foiled to understand,
sinco he could not possibly bo aware that
tho other was wondering if he was tho
man destined to teach Agatha Loring
that ebo had a woman's heart." "Mrs.
Jenninga says that he ia a noted flirt."
the aoldicr grimly thought. "I would
givo all I possess if ho would flirt with
tliia woman and make her feel what abe
has inflicted ao mercilessly on others."
"Monsieur lo Colonel is jealous al
ready," Viricn 8nid, with a laugh, ns ho
sank down by Miss Lori tig's aide. "Ilia
mbjugatios la accomplished, I perccivo,
j von in thia abort time."
"Pray don't bo absurd," abo replied.
"Colonel Thurston ia tho last man In the
world whom I should bo likely to subju
gate. Ho is-what shall I sny ? -si m plo,
literal, stern, old-fashioned in his ideas
that ho not only disapproves ol me, bnt
he has plainly told me BO."
Her companion arched his dark, doll
iatoly-pcnciled brows. "I hardly know
whether to pity his obtuseness or bia
temerity most, bo aaid. "That mortal
mun should venturo to dis ap provo of la
belle dee bellet, and-bright of audacity I
tell her ao?"
"It docs seem bad taste, does it not?
But it is n consolation to feel that I havo
your good opinion to fall back upon."
Virlen waa too weil trained for his re
ply to be audible at two paces distant,
but lt is very essy to imagine what turn
tho conversation took after that.
Fifteen minutes later Mrs. Jennings
went our. on tho dttaky, flower-scented
piazza, and, after looking round her fora
moment, perceived tho dark outlines of
two figures and the glow of two cigars at
the far end: She at once walked thither.
"I thought I should fiud yon both
hero," she said. "Cameron, are you not
.ahamm) tn ?arrw C?nafn Phill1"1 off !"
this way? The girl? ar? all anxious to
cultivate hia acquaintance. By-the-by,"
abe added, turning to Thurston, "what
Aid you think of Agatha Loring?"
"She has 'come specially to ask you
that," said Mr. Jennings^ with a laugh.
Thurston, who had risen at her ap
proach, answered with tho quiet decision
af s?. ?rltO -C-v-t U0?~ POOd to hesitate
over his opinion :
"I think that Miss Loring is a prac
tised coquette and a thorough actress.
Like all women of her type, her vanity is
ao great ?hat she would ensnare every
man who approaches her if she could ;
but it strikes mo with wonder that such a
woman can win tho admiration of any
man, even for an hour."

LONDON, ENGLAND, June G, 1877.
MY DKAK MK. CHILDS-After an un
usually stormy passage for any season of
thu year, and continuous sea sickness
generally among thc passengers after the
second day out, wo reached Liverpool
Monday afternoon, tho 28th of May.
Jesse and I proved to bo among tbo few
good sailors. Neither of us felt a mo
ments uneasiuess during tho voyage. I
had proposed to leave Liverpool imme
diately on arrival and proceed to London,
wbcro I knew our Minister had mado ar
rangements for a formal reception, and
had accepted for me a few invitations of
courtesy. But what vt?", my surprise to
find nearly all the sbi( ping in port, at
Liverpool, decorated wita tho (lags of all
nations, and from thc mainmast of each
the flag of the Union ?Aas most conspicu
ous. Tho 'locks wore lined with as many
of tho population tts could find standing
room, and thc i tree's to the hotel where
it was under-' .od my part,, would stop
were packed. Thc demount, utioa was to
nil appearance as hearty atm enthusiastic
as in Philadelphia on our departure.
Tho Mayor wa? present, with his State
carriage, to convey us to the hotel, and
after that lo his beautiful country resi
dence, some six milos or..., where wo were
entertained nt dinner '?th a small party
of gentlemen, and remained over night.
The following day a largo lunch party
was given at tho official residence of the
Mayor in the city, at which there wero
some ono hundred and fifty of tho distin
guished citizens and officials of tho cor
poration presr >t. Preasing invitations
were sent from most of '"to cities in the
kingdom to h ive mc visit thom. I ac
cepted for a day at Manchester, and
stopped a few moments nt Leicester and
nt ono other place. Thc uamo hearty
welcome was shown at each placo, as you
have no doubt seen.
Tho press of the country has been ex
ceedingly kind and courteous. So far I
havo not been permitted to travel in a
regular train, much loss in a common car.
Tho Midland road, which penetrates a
grca' portion of the island, including
Wales and Scotland, havo extended to
me tho courtesy of their road, and a Pull
man car to take mo wherever I wish to
go during the whole of my stay in Eng
land. Wo arrived in London Monday
evening, tho 30th of May, when I found
our Minister had accepted engagements
for mo up to the 27th of June, leaving
but few sparc days in the interval. ')n
Saturday last wo dined with the
Duke of Wellington, and last night
tho formal reception at Judgo Pierre
ponl's was held. It was a great success
-most brilliant in numbers, rank and
attiro of the audience-and was graced
by tho presence oT every American in tho
city who had called on tho Minister or
Ic?t a card for me. I doubt whether
London has ever seen a private house so
elaborately or so tastefully decorated os
was our American Minister's lost night.
I nm deeply indebted to him for the pains
ho has taken to mako my stay pleasant,
nnd tho attentions extended to our coun
try. I appreciate tho fact, and cm proud
of it, that tho attentions which I am re
ceiving aro extended more for our coun
try than for mo personally. I love to seo
our country honored and respected
abroad, and I nm proud to believe that it
is by most nil nations, and by some even
loved. It has always been my desire to
see nil jealousy between England and tho
United States abated and every sore
healed. Together they aro moro power
ful for tho spread of commerce and civil

Plant Peas.
Wero our farmers in thc habit of pro
paring their oat land as well os they do
their cotton land, wo would fool sure that
tho past light harvesting had baroly paid
tho expenses of preparation ; but usually
tho oat crop is thrown in os that much
extra, flud making much or little is in a
?uajori / of instance considered as just so
much train. After ? while we will learn
chat this crop deserves more uttention,
and tho more caro hestowed upon it tho
better it remunerates tho farmer.
Thcro may be, howevor, many of our
readers who sowed their oats In good
land, nnd who prepared tho land
thoroughly before sowing tho grain.
Such mon foci that they have not been
repaid by tho light crop just harvested.
To aa such men wo say, you need not
grumble, for there is ample timo to get a
hue net income from that very land if
you have time to cultivate it. The recent
continued rains have prepared tho stubble
fields beautifully for a second crop, and
nothing will pay botter now than peas.
Tho speckled pea, known as tho whoo
porwill, and tho shinoy pea will make a
crop it planted by tho middle or last of
July if it get? soasons in duo time after
it is up. Tho cow pea will maturo if
sown by the first of July, and tho red
stock pea will grow an bundanco of for
age if it doc s not maturo boforo frost.
Now if tho grass is pushing tho cotton
planter, (and doubtless thoy all now wish
the day. was forty-eight hours long,) ho
will not have tho timo to prepare tho
siubblo land thoroughly before planting
his peas, and, therefore, must ''hit it SL
lick and a promise," so ho should simply
run scooter furrotrs about thirty inches
apart, drop four or fivo peas every^oot,
oud cover with two acootor furrows. If
tho ground is in good season, tho crop
will 1)6 up and ready for a working bo
foro tho season is out of the ground.
The middles ("bawts") should then be
broken out by deep and elmo ploughing,
and ten days after tho croo should be
carefully hoed. As soon os tho gross bo
Jins to show itself ofter that, two sweep
urrows should bo run betweor:. tho rows
of peas. Possibly tho crop may need
three furrows. At nny rotc, it should bo
left clean, for this is tho "laying by"
working. If tho seasons provo favora
ble, tho growth of tho crop will astonish
the planter.
?omo farmors prefer sowing peas broad
cast. -Wo do not. To sow broadcast re
quires too much ploughing, just at tho
?.m*. ?|iAn tf tm difficult to 2niire the
teams from tho summer crops long
enough even to lay off tho furrows and
cover the seed. And broadcast sowing
will seldom produco as much forage, and
rarely ever as many peas as the drilled
culture.
If it is proposed to convert this crop
into "roughage," that is provender for
stock, thc vines should be cu? ?vlth a
gross blade just when tho first peas begin
to ripen and before the whole crop is
ripe. If the peas are to bo picked, or if
the crop is to be given to hogs, the peas
should not be picked nor the nogs turned
on tho crop till tho peas aro all ripe. Il
the crop is to bo turned under as a manu
ring, thc plough should bo started just
when the bulk of tho crop is turning yel
low and before tho leaves begin to drop
off. Except crab giess nothing is moro
difficult to turn undor with a plough
than pea vinca, and tho best plough tor
tho purpose we havo ever nats*, even on
level land, is tho hillside turning plough.
Just how much forago an acre of peas
and pea vines, cultivated as above, will
make, we cannot tell, but we believe it
will winter a mule very comfortably,
i or thic reason an extra effort sbould be
made to put in this crop. It will hand
somely repay thc farmer, and perhaps
prevent his taking odd trip.; to thc depot
lor bought corn next spring.
If any farmer has an acre or more of
good laud that was in oats, and has no
pea*, let him at once break up that land
with aharp acootcra, wait a week and
cross plough it, and then harrow, brush
or drag it until Luor.mghly pulverized
and ?mooth, and then await results. It
will grow him a ton or ton and a half of
excellent hay.-Newt and Courier.
Profit In Sheep.
"We have a flock of near threo hun
dred sheep ; most of them are scrub na
tives, except thc lambs of last year, which
are the progeny of a fine Lciceatcr buck.
We wish to buy two more bucks of pure
blood, because wc ace clearlv the improve
ment from thf first crossing. Our flock
rangea on thc Santec bottoms, aud wool
ia our chief object, but mutton forms
some part in the economy of our flock,
as we are sufficiently convenient to reap
the advantages of thc Charleston market.
Now, will you advise us what breed to
invest in to satisfy our wants, climate and
all considered ?"
The writer of the above says ho lias
seen our views in the News and Courier
but would rather hear from us as to his
especial investment. And we regret in
our replying to hi? particular case to say
that we fear ho has begun with the very
worst ?tcp towards improvement. The
Leicester ?ueep is thc samo as thc old
Ilakowcll ; very -rgc and lubberly, al
way? fat, but a heavy and good feeder,
and tho most delicate and liable to dis
easo of ull the larger breeds of sheep.
They arc not held tn high esteem any
where, except in thc immediate vicinity
of mutton markets, where they can bo
pampered .md highly fed, so as to pro
duce a large carcass in the smallest possi
ble time. They have frequently been
known to dress one hundred pounds net
at a year old, and sometimes three hun
dred pounds nt full growth or four years
old. Their fleece ia fine, ailky and very
white, but not heavy, averaging not over
eight to ten pounds from t' 3 choicest
apecimens.
The South Down would be a far moro
desirable sheep for the Santee country.
They are smaller than the Leicester,
round bodied, small boned, with black or
dark legs, fine breeders, and at a year old
will yield a carcass weighing forty to fifty
pounds, and at growth about eighty to
one hundred pounds. Their average
fleece ia not more than five, perhaps four
pounds. The mutton from thc South
Down is reputably auperior to any in the
world. To thia, however, we do not at
tach much importance, for if any ?heep
i? domesticated and properly fed to pro
vent a wild rank taste to thc i lesli, we
think ona kind ns palatable as another
We have often had friends to say at om
table, "Why thia ia equal to any English
mutton !" and thc choiceat piece of mut
ton we ever tasted, and one which drew
from a professed epicure thc remark, thal
he lind never eaten anything equal to it
"even in the valley of Virginia," was o'
roast quarter of a four year old goat that
had become seal fat from stealing his
meals from the stable troughs. So wc
don't attach much value to thc breed on
the point of mutton. Any of them will
make superior mutton if properly handled,
fatted, butchered and cooked, all equally
important points in growing mutton for
the table.
As wo havo said before, however, the
South Down proved a delicate sheep in
our handling, and by no means equal to
tho Merino. This, after ali, is thc sheep
for our climate, latitude and pasturage
The Merino is a small sheep, ofawkward
yes ugly shape, slow of growth, and doe?
not maturo as carly as other sheep. Foi
mutton thc lambs nro worthless*, but a
four or five years of ago when fat, th<
weathers arc equal to any Bheep we hav<
ever eaten, aud the older tho sheep tin
better thc meat. As breeders the Merini
is perhaps not ao prolific as tho otho
breeds of ?heep, and possibly not aa goo<
milkers, but they will reproduce rapid!
enough to increase tho flock amazingly j
carefully handled. Thc bucks are a
vigorous as any breed of sheep. A tw
year old may serve 25 to 80 ewes, and a
maturity from G5 to 80, if highly fed an
judiciously treated. In 1867 we weane
56 lambs from 48 ewes and a single hue
threo years old.
No sheep ia fond of rank pasturage
and all low wet lands aro unfavorable fe
the growth of sheep. The foot rot is
diaeaso created by too wet pastures an
is said te bo fatally contagious, and ha
carried off thousands of sheep nnnuall
in Southern Europe. We do not knoi
that this disease was ever acen ir. Amei
ica. We certainly never saw it, but w
mention it to advise our Santeo friend
that it may be provoked by pasturin
sheep too much in the bottoms. Wo ar
convinced that ?heep ahould at least huv
dry land to ruminate upon, and for thi
reason where they ramble in bottom
during tho day, ahould be driven to high
er and drier apota at night. If left t
themselves they will seek these apota au
way, and will never be found standing o
lying in wet places. They prefer rum:
nnling upon bald, dry apots, which don
remain so long after tho sheep nppropr
ates them for a season-News and Couric
