CUAPTEtt V. A very safo and delightful retreat this cave Keeractl to tVem when they found themselves sheltered, within it-notwith standing the facta th? they wore in deep darkness, and wet aioivit to the skin. "Stnna still," said Thurston, releasing Miss Loring's hand for thc first time, "and I will Btrike a nutch." "Is it possible you hive matches with you?" she asked. V "I am an old soldiertand an inveterate Mooker," he answered "I am novel caught without matched and I carry m> case wrapped in loathe*, so that damp ness cannot affect them! Boo here!" . The next instant a feble, short-livec1 blaze lighted up theirplaco of refuge and showed Miss Lin hg a stone, or which she immediately i;.t down. "Wo are nt least sintered from tin rain," said Thurston, :?)the tempor?r} illumination died away, I'and safe fron the electricity, since wateria a non-con 1 ductor. Now, if yoi- c?? possess youi soul in patience for a whin, I hope tha j thc storm will exhaust ttskf, and we ma} go home by moonlight after all." I "I can possess my soul in patient* very easily," she answered; "It is bette to be hero than to bo rifttg along i forest-road in suth a ?torin MUI?H. Hov i Ibo rain pours I I I 'And ligbtningH, as they plnyj Hut show wherorocksourpatli^i..ct..^.iseil Or gild the torrent'? spray.' " "You cannot be very nervous, Mis Loring, or you would not bf able V quote poetry." "I am not at all nervous," sbf repli?e ?"Pray sot your mind at rest on t':at poinf I have always felt that if I wire calle i upon to face death itself-I mein deat r in some sudden and violent form ! should bc as calm and collected as I ai this moment." "You might find yourself rcistakei " Facing death is not such an cns) matu as you think. I, who havo facetlitmaii times, know whereof I speak." "Hut there was always doubt in tha was there not ? If you were absolute, certain that death was before you-sa; for instance, that you wcro on a sinkiu ship iii mid-ocean-you would haye r ifear of losing composure, would rou ?" "I suppose not-the inevitable is sal to have always a sustaining power. Ul der some circumstances, however, I ci imagine that, apart from courage, a mt might shrink from the prospect of lea ing those whom he loved helpless bebit him." "And would that bo your case?" The abrupt question did not sound it would have sounded at auother tin and in auother place. So utterly unco ventionr.l -.vere their surroundings, strange the darkness encompassingthei that tb?. ordinary rules governing soci \ life seamed for tho present laid ask and Thurston replied without a momcn thought : "Not at all. If this stream before wero able to risc and overwhelm us, should have the satisfaction of feeli that I left no human being in the wot worse for my death, and but one pcrs who would feel any active sentiment regret." ?She laughed slightly-not a mirth laugh, by any means. "Then you have an ndvantange o mo in thc possession of that one pere I should leave several human heil better for my death, inasmuch as my 1 tuno would be divided muong them, i not one who would mourn mc beyoni week." The instinct of distrust was so stn in bim with regard to everything wh she Baid or did, that he set this spc down to mere striving after effect, ; answered more lightly than ho wo otherwise have dono : ; "You have surely forgotten all y admirers." "Thank you fo; reminding mo them," she said, but her tone chan from earnestness to mockery. "I won how many ainoug them would mourn a week I Well, we reap as we h sowed, I suppose. People call mo I liant, beautiful, and fascinating, many a commonplace woman is riche love than I am." It was impossible even for Tburstoi doubt the sincerity with which tl words were uttered. Half bitter, wholly sad, tho magnetic voice soutu and ho felt his heart strongly stirred its tones. -A doubt of himself-of own capabilities of resisting this wont. 1?owcr-began for tho first time to c tis mind. Had Mrs. Jennings I right? Was he, after all, playing t fire? "If you are poor in lovo," lie said, is because you havo flung it away I you in csrelessncss or scorn. I li Miss Loring, that devotion thc most sionnte nud truo has been poured like water ut your feet." "Do you know it?" she asked; there wu? not a little skepticism in tone. "Then you aro wiser than I But I confess I have always been inc UIOUB where protestations of passion A involved. Perhaps I did not feel inti enough to put them to any test. Li a riddle to which I have never foin key, and 1 have often thought that not worth searching for." There was something so pathetic the half-weary, half-reckless ring of voice that Thurston said, involuntai "You aro too ycung, and far too orally endowed with over-' good gi Nature, to feel anything like that. ? ly, you cannot seriously do so."

When darkness again fell, veiling 'bight tho white sheets of rain, tho i ing, whirling torrent, Agatha said : "Can. wo not go farther back ? rain or the spray front the stream is ing over me. _ I? u? .........

In tho farthest corner of the rock-r ho placed hv t and then established self before her so os to shield her os i as possible from the blast and dr snrav which even hero sought tuera " "? nm afraid:you aro very tiocon able," he said. "That Iedgo on v vou are sitting is a tilting perch, ] peet. If you will rest ono hand o shoulder, you may be ablo to s yourself better." "lt is not nccc?B?ry,'' sho ans* "I can steady myself very well -vi troubling you further." 1 hen sho a abruptly : "It is very kind of vou tc ns i?"ich en're of me as if-as if you me, Colonel Thurston. I assuro j appreciate it." i There was ? minute's pauso I Thurston said, in a vole? which soi constrained : "Why should you think that I ri like you, Mis? Loring?" . "Pray do not ask Buch a foolish lion," u?ie nuswerd. "You know as well as or better tbau I do that you do not like ; and you aro very straightforward and thorough, Colonel Thurston-far too much BO to pretend to bo whnt you are not. On that account I liked you from tho first," she added. "Don't be fright ened because I say so-I mean don't think that I am bent on your conquest. I would not add you to thc list of my captives if I could ; but I should like to win you for a friend if such a thing were possible." "It ia not possible," ho answered, hoarsely, "it is absolutely impossible. So far from being your friend, Miss Loring, I have never felt such deep and bitter enmity toward any human creature as I felt toward you before I ever saw your face." Ho saw that face thc next instant, for another vivid lightning-flash showed it turned toward him with an expre&aiou of astonishment on its pale, clear-cut feat ures. "Deep and bitter enmity !" she repeat ed. "Did what you felt go as far as thal ! Enmity is generally associated with the desire to injure-did you wish to injure mc, Colonel Thurston ?" Even in tho darkness Thurston wa? conscious that a flush rose to Ata face. At that moment he felt as if his desire that Bertie's wrong might bo avenged had been a very paltry thing. "If you will allow me to waive that question, Misa Loring-" he bogati, but sue interrupted him impetuously : "I cannot allow it. I would rather much rather-hear the truth, if you will tell it. Dislike is one thing, enmity an other. Why should you have felt enmity toward mc?" Then he told her, with the accompani ment of tho raging storm, in tho obscuri ty which shielded their faces from sight, save when tho fitful glare of thc light ning revealed them for a moment. Who has not observed what strange capabili ties of expression thc voice dovelops in circumstances Uko these ? Is it becauso our attention is not distracted by the play of eye and lip, that tho cadences of tone reveal so much when we ?6ten to them in darkness? Certainly Thurston's revealed a great deal to Agatha Loring. To make her understand hew much more than an ordinary brother Bertie was to him, he touched briefly on the history of his childhood ; be told her how his father's early death left his mother al most destitute of fortuno ; how her sec ond husband had been a wealthy, gen erous man, whoso kindness to him (Thurston) had been unvarying; how ho was killed in battle, and with his dying lips commended Bertie to his step-sou's caro ; how his mother repeated the charge when she died soon after, and how near to his heart the hoy's happiness had al ways been. Simply as tho story was tol?, ail its details were made very clear to the woman who listened. "I was forced to go to Egypt," Thurs ton went on. "A career there was thc only ono which opened to me ; but when I turned my face homeward at last, aftci five years' absence, it was to see Bertie Bertie alone-and renew for a few montln our old association. My thoughts were full of tue Bunny-hearten boy I left, ant] I found instead a man whoso whole u?i ture had been wrecked by passion, !oi whom all tho hopes of life nan turnet-1 t( ashes, and whose reckless misery wat pitiable to witness. He could not endun even my society ; and when I came hen I had just seen him start alone with hil wretchedness to Europe. Considering this, you may judge how charitably I fel toward you, Mi?? Loring, who from be ginning to end had wrought tho work." "So Bertio Egerton ?3 your brother,' she said, slowly, after a moment's pause "No one told me-I had no idea of it Not," she added, "that Bertio Egerton i more to mc than any other man, excep that I knew him t>nd liked him until-' "Until, like Mr. Vitien, bc ceased ti amuse you," said Thurston, bitterly. " am sorry we began to speak on this sub ject. It can do no good, and, howeve cruel and heartless ono may think t woman, one is in courtesy bound not t speak according to ono's thoughts." Silence for a full minute. The Blore by this timo began to abate its violence the lightning grew leas frequent am vivid, tho thunder rolled more remotciv One of tho peiils was dying ?way wit) many distant reverberations, who Agatha spoke : .'You have only heard your brothor1 story, so ? cannot blame you for thinkin, of rac in this way-nor have I any intcn tion of trying to chnnge your opinion, havo never believed in men'8 hearts, as told you once before-so perhaps I hav not treated them very tenderly. You brother seemed to mo a pleasant, impul sive, undisciplined boy. who miatoo fancy for passion, and who troubled m not a little before I dismissed him. am very sorry that I should h?vo cause him ?o much pain, but I could not bel it." "I do not arraign you." said Thurstoi "Your owf conscience may &omo day d that-som] day when even your hear Miss Lorjig, has been wakened to eenso of stucring." "I thouiht you were couvinccd that have no heart?" said sho, quietly, fe "How ein I toll ?" asked he, quickh "Women fee enigmas. God only know what you]are. I only know that yo havo ruinai Bertie's life-and that yo would rub minc if I gave you th chance." He uttered; thc last words impetuoual -uttered them without thought orcalct lation-and, If there had been a flash < light at .that moment, ho might ha\ been surprUcd at their efle.ct uno Agatha. She atartcd and clasped nt hands tighUjr together, while for tho fir failed altogc&er. Sho desired to Bpoa but no fitting ?ords occurred to her, ac so it was ho who went on : "I did not mean to say that, but, sim it has been said, I owe you an explan tion. I am not in love with you Mi Loring, but since. I havo known you have appreciated for tho first timo how man might be fascinated by tho charm such a woman ai vou aro, even while Ho paused, M* 8ho finiah'.-d his se tenco calmly and clearly : "Even while ?0 not respect ht Thank you foi being franU to tho la? Colonel Thurston." "You miaunderuor? J me," he said. 1 did not mean to be so rude aa that. If had completed my scnteuco I shou have said, 'even whiic it would ho ma ness to truat hcP-^^diicaa to stifler on? peace of mind and,; heart to bo wreck in order that a coqocttc might add oi moro victim to her Usl." Silence again, ra\n had cease now, and tho durttat roll of thuntl [?roved that tho clor^? wcre drawing i ike sullen battalion? p]10 f,re ^ they i treat. Agatha's hand involuntarily wc to her heart. It maybe that Bertie a many another wcro avenged in what s suffered at that moment. But woma gride ia equal to most emergencies, a er? steadied her vole? whcn nt lenj she spoke : "It i* as well, no d?ibt, that you i not 'in love' with me \ hardly thinl am tho kind of woman to make a m happy, oven-even if I mfyi him. I nature is not likely to nove a ?oil a which tiie domestic virtues could ever flourish, and a woman without domestic virtues is-what shall I say ?-only nt to live and dio n coquette, for whom admi ration takes thc place of iovo, flattery of respect. Weill'- what a low, soft, hit ter laugh it was she uttered !-"ono must pay a price for all empire, hut you may rest satisfied tbat I nm not a happy woman, Colonel Thurston." Strango to say-considering how ar dently he had desired that she might ?"uffer-this assurance did not satisfy Thurston. Mad though he knew tho impulse to ho, ho would at that moment have given a great deal to make Agatha Loring happy-grsnting that it was in his power to do so. "I ara sorry-" he began, but she in terposed hastily : Do not think that there is any neces sity to express what you cannot possibly feel. Extorted sympathy is not worth much-and I only mentioned tho fact becauso you seemed to desire so much that I should tuffer. Tho feeling is very natural, no doubt, and I do not blamo you. Meanwhile I think it has ceased raining. Can wo not leafo here ?" "I am afraid we shall fiad it very diffi cult to do so," he answered. "Tho stream has probably increased in volume, and if it fills thc gorge-ai it may do we shall b? forced to stay here until it r ms down." "That is a pleasant prospect ; but do ?'ou mean to take it tor granted that it ias filled tho gorge ?" "So far from that"-ho roto as ho spoke-"I mean to go and erploro the passage. I a~ sorry to lcavo you here alone, but there is no help for it. I can not take you until I have ascirtained whether or not it is Baie to do so.' "Oh, pray do not leave me bcuV !" sho pleaded. "Let rae go with ym. I will be very cautious, ai?d surely if it is safe for you it is safe for me." "By no means," ho answered. "To have you on my hands would cmbaTass me greatly, and in case of danger mght bo fatal to us both." "Then do not you go. It is better to stay herc and wait for daylight than to risk anything." Ke put out his hand and touched hit dress. * "I thought so," ho said. "You aro at wet as possible, and yet you talk of stay' ing hero-until daylight. We may be forced to do so, but I shall not think ol such a thing unless it is a matter ol necessity. You have a stout heart, Mis: Loring, 1 know ; but do you think it ii stout enough to stay here in thc darkness alone?" "Yes," she answered. "If you insis upon going without me, I am not afraii to remain ; but I hope you will not bi rash." "I shall certainly endeavor not to bi drowned, since it vouid be very unpieas ant for you to Lo left here in absolut solitude-a feminine Robinson Crusoe i wiii leave somo matches with you, bu I beg you not to venture near the water fall until I return." He gave her tho matches, made bc close her palra over them to preserv them from dampness, then struck on himself, reconnoitred in tho neighbor, hood of tho fall, reported that the strcar did not appear to have risen very muci stepped around thc angle of the rocl and disappeared. A stout heart, as he had said, A gath possessed, but it challenged all i stou ness to keep nervousness at ba? in th position in which she now found hersel Nor was this to be wondered nt. L< any reader 01 moderate imagination fij ure to himself the situation, and he wi bo likely to decide thal it v.as not condi cive to serenity of feeling. Of cours the time of Thurston's absence seemt immeasurably long, and sho had qui decided that he must have been drowne when-by the light of a match struck ; the entrance of thc cave-she saw h figure. "I could manage to take you out, Mi Irring," he said, "but it would bo qui useless to do so since thc horses a gone." "The horses gone?" "Yes. I went to the place where tin wore fastened, and found that tho/ hi evidently broken loose-frightened, presume, by tho thunder-storm. Wi Sans-Souci ten miles distant, can y< BUggest anything helter for us to do thi to stay here ?" "But there arc houses nearer thi Sans-Souci. Wo passed two or three "We did, but tho nearest is four mil distant. Can you walk four miles ?" "I think I can-at feast I can try, ai it will bc better than sitting here in v> clothes." He felt that this was true ; so. lu; vi safely made their way through tho gor -a much moro difficult matter after t late flood than Agatha had at all roc oned upon-they set out upon a foi milo walk. It was a walk which neither of th< was ever likely to forget. The clot had by this time parted, nnd tho mo shone forth sufficiently to guido them their way and prevent their wnnderi from the road-sufficiently, also, to revi thc loneliness and mystery of the for which surrounded them. Every thi above and below was wet as wet coi be ; but they walked on courageous endeavoring tho whilo to sustain th spirits by cheerful conversation. T conversation ranged over a very w field, but it did not again touch in the motest manner on tho personal top discussed in the cave. It was past midnight when they rca' cd their destination. During t he 1 milo Agatha bad not declined Thursto assistance, and fe many along day afl ward ho was haunted by the picture flint moonlit forest-innd. und l?v memory of the lissome figure that" ht in weariness on his arra, of the pale, 1 face on which tho soft light fell throi overshadowing boughs. All things end at last, and this cm when they emerged into an open Bp and saw before them a substantial fa house standing in the moonlight, vi that supreme air of quietude wb houses wear nt night when their inhi tanti are wrappedin slumber.

All of these offers \ gladly accepted, and after Agatha somewhat dried herself, and the c* bad been made and drunk, they cut tho obliging farmer's "jersey" and > luven away. Sans-Souci presented no appearanc life ns they approached in thc w moonlight, and Agatha said, smiling "Our friends certainly do not seer bo suffering any anxiety on our count." "I suppose they quieted their tn hy fancying that we took refuge at r wayside house," Thurston artswi "and thc horse* have probably nol rived." A ncr they ?ind alighted at the door and tho worthy farmer had been dis missed with many ??? thanks, Thurston turned to his companion. "Beforo we part, Miss Loring," he Baid, abruptly, "I should like to hear you say that you pardon-that is, if you can honestly do so-tho ninny harsh speeches I havo uttered to you. I had no right whatovcr to utter them, and I should he glad if you would promise to forget tlicm." She looked up with a sort of startled wistfulness on her face and in her oyes. "You IIBYO uttered no harsh speeches that were not honest speeches, Colonel Thurston," she said, simply-"none which I have not already pardoned. Hut ] why do you ask this-now ?" "Because now is my only opportunity," lie answered. "Before you wake to morrow-nay, thit morning-I shall havo left Sans-Souci. I mad? all my arrange ments to do so before wo Btarted on our ?xcuraion." She did not heed thc last words-in fact, she did not hear thom. As he said, 'I shall have loft Sans-Souci," a change ;wift as thought came over her face-an expression et wonder, appeal, and, above ill, pain-which no art on earth could liave simulated, and which, liko a flush sf lightning, laid bare her heart before the man who looked at her. In that instant it was borne to him tvith tho forco of a revelation that his re irengo was more complete than he had iver dreamed of making it. For one r.'ild moment his heart leaped un madly -but it was only for a moment. Ho ?vas one of the men who in an emergency cannot only think but act promptly, ano, :i3 ho was about to speak again, the door suddenly opened, and on the threshold ippearcd Mr. Jennings, arrayed in dress ing-gown, with a lamp in his hand. "By Jove !" ho said. "So you arc liere ! Lucy insisted that sho hetird thc mund of horses' feet. Where on earth nave you been all this timo?" "In the Dovil'a Gorge, where you were kind enough to leave us," Thurston nn ^wercd, dryly. "I will give you an ac count of our adventures, out wo will not letain Miss Loring, who is very much fatigued. Good-night," he added, tak ing the hand of tho latter as they entered tho hall. "I hopo you will feel no ill affects from your drenching and excr 2?80." "Is it gootl-by?" she asked, in a low voice. "It is good-by," bc answered. If his life had depended on tho effort, ht could have said no more, nor did she ut'vr another word. Sho only drew her cot?, slender hand from his clasp, ?md, wita a slight salutation to Mr. Jennings, passed up thc broad staircaso and out of I sighs [CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK.] VilEKE THE MONEY WENT.

It will be seen that there was a large consumption of costly wines, liquors and cigars, ia the items containeu in these hills,' aggregating the sum of | $3,483.75, were consumed in eight days ! Tho bills were "ordered paid," signed "J. W., C.," '.u pencil. It was a mere bagatelle that the honest tax payers wcro furnishing to tho tired and overworked legislators, anq it was not necessary to particularize by whose order such enor mous bills were paid, nor did tho officials require much red tape in arranging for their prompt payraent. The bills were contracted from Varch 4 to March 12, and paymeut was ni ado on March 14. Quick work and large profits was tho motto of tho day. (Tho question which interests tho public, is to" find cut who "ordeied paid these extravagant charges. Did the order como bom the Senate, or was it a committee ? \lf the latter, was it "ordered" by Brick msk, Whittemore, Owens or nny other mau ? Let "dear ! Josephus" tell us all about it, whether tho paymaster was alloyed 20 per cent, and liimself 10 per conti leaving Hardy Solomon "a very moderate profit." Such appears to have been tho custom of tho time, and we would implore "my dear Woodruff" to give a clearer insight to this transaction.

Thc time is at hand when thc turnip patch should he prepared, and this means a'grcat deal. Farmers who have stock, (cattle and sheep,) and who have penned them nightly since about the middle or last of April, havo now a spot of ground upon which they can gow (drill) turnips with almost a certainty of making a fine crop. These pens should have been ploughed and cross-ploughed after the first rain that put an end to the dry spell in June, and at least once a week ever since. To prepare any other pieco of ground, not stock-pen nea, so as to secure from it a heavy yield of turnips, the land should be, or must yet bc, ploughed sufficiently to thoroughly pulverize tho Boil and free it from every vestige of a weed or tuft of f;ras9. This done, the land should bo nid ofTin thirty inch rows by running a twister back and forth in tho samo fur row, and then partially filling this up by running a subsoil plough in it, and then fill it completely with the best manure on thc premises and throw two furrows on it. Then on this ridge sprinkle from 250 to 100 pounds of superphosphates and with a twister complete the beds. As soon ns the land can bo ploughed after a rain, subsequent to 20th July; or in anticipation of a rain when tho land is dry, which is preferable, open tho beds, driil in tho seed, and cover very lightly with a hand rake. Ono pound of seed tc the acre is said to bo enough.. Wo oftener sow over two pounds ; ii, is easier to thin out than to replant.

Hut in tho Palmetto State tho r'tnpathctic Chamberlain took a warm itcrcst in tho emancipated, and aided y tho government at Washington, he ccamo thc Governor of South Caroliun. This tho patriotic Chamberlain pro Mids was a great sacrifice on Iiis part, Ithough it is said that during tho short oriod of his holding cilice in tho South 0 became abundantly rich. This, how vor, was only a proper reward for his xtraordiuary virtues and services, in is own estimation ho was a second Jo )ph, and South Cai ulina another Egypt, li i ch ho was to deliver from tho rulo of franny and save its down-trod'?eu people om famine But unlike toe first Jo pph, who stored up grain, for tho people 1 th J ir timo of need, he plunged them ito deeper poverty than they ever expo ienced bofoiu his advent among thom, lie treasury of tho Stato became deplo :d in tho samo proportion that his own ccamo full. The people, with thc range perversity which ignorance gen rally produces, could not appreciate the ?criticc ho was making in their behalf, nd at tho last election choso ano'.h?i mu as Governor iu his place.

Bu1 is opponent, a stubborn fellow namer lampton, said : "No ! neither tho sub ruction or addition of theso experts ii meet. I was elected Governor and an ling to act as such." Chamberlain owover, was not dismayed-tho chief F tho party ho was acting with caret jry little for majorities or tho popula ill-they had the reins of power it icir own hands, and wero accustomed ti do down all opposition. A now PresI mt had been boosted into office, with it being elected to it, and Chambcrlali iturally thought that this gontlcmai ouid sustain his position. But in thi rs was mistaken. Mr. Hayes thought that, though h id won his placo by a falso count, i ould not do to assist others in playinj io samo game. So tho late Governor o juth Carolina had to step down and oui id Mr. Hampton is ably filling hi lace. Now, people would Bupposo tha Chamberlain believed tho majority c io pooplo wero in his favor,'and felt th iterest in thoir welfare which ho prc sscd, he would remain among them ork for them-help them to regain whi tey had lost, and at thc next electio y at the ballot box to turn what he call ie usurpers out of office.
