Hy tin; time tho inmates of Sans-Souci were assembled round thc breakfast-table, discussing their adfipliirdua] t&riedigion, Thurston was many id i les awiy, travel ing as fast as steam could take him from the scene of it. Ho hardly knew-he certainly did not care-where he was going. He had spoken truly when he told.Miss Loring that he had decided to leave Kaua-Souoi after Mrs. Jennings had uttered her warning the day before; but, since that d?termination was taken, an age seemed to have passed, so entirely do wo "live in feeling, not in figures on a dial." Those hours in thc storm, thc lonely midnight walk, above all that glance of Agatha's which revealed so much of which he had not dreamed--these things made a gai; between his life us it had been and nf' life as it was, which even his thougbtt could scarcely bridge. It is not to bc supposed tiint, in thc course of thirty-three ycr.re bc bad not suffered more or le s in matters of lin heart, yet heriivw fuuud< bjnisdj' lbj, thc first lime uridet thc dominion ?f a pas sion-no fancy or sentiment, but a loci ing strong us deaih and overmastering life. Agatha Turing's face .vas constant ly before him, the music o' her voici dominated every sound that filled hil ears, but he thought that he could find ; cure for the infatuation in absence, as hi had found a turu .for life fever-fits of hi younger days. ' Tho ?den of yielding, as many mei would have yielded; die! not for a inc.nen occur te) him. Hu knew that with hi whole soul he loved thc woman who ha? ruined Bertie's happiness, and who wooli ruin Mn: felt assured). tue happiness o any man who trusted/ his life in he hands; hui he said to himself that thi love was a mere temporary m.ehr since no deep passion could flourM wliero trust was lacking. "It ia an insanity which will pllss a quickly as it has come," he thought "As for that expression in her eyes las night, I must haw iinagined ii-it i Mtuply impossible that such a womal con ld find her heart for HUCII a man ns am !" But to think this wa ? onc'thlng, to fei il another. Trust her/ No, lie did no trust her. He believed her to bc cotjuctt and actress through all lier nature ; bu nevertheless her lace as bo saw it last palo, appealing, with eyes that revcaloi a hundred-fold moro than speech coull utter-haunted him, turn "where li? would, do what he would. Nor was tb.Li.ibc rcc?lil of one day ono week, one month, lie put th breadth of State, between himself aui Sans-Soucl ;'< he plunged ?pto the buaiiie? which partly brought him to America he sought social distractions ; but th end was as tho beginning. "Whei Agatha Luring is dono with a mau lie i fit for nothing but to go thc devil as fa* as may bei" Bertie had fiaid in thc nm recklessness of his puifdoh; and thia i lesser degree Thurston felt now. Ho wu not ready to go to thu devil; but h found existence robbed Of its savor as I had uevcr been robbed before. Toi mente ! by passion, by longing, by rcgre by self-contempt-what wonder that a things seemed to him worse than einpt] lesa than uninteresting? If A gath Luring hnd treated him as she had trciu cd many another, hud flirted with nn discarded him, he fancied thal his eui would have boen rapid and complet! But he could not forget tiiat she ha showed him glimpses ot her nature whic he felt suro sue lind showed to no otb: man-of ite weariness, of its yearning, < its ciip^bilitics.fpr^liighc/lhtocs-and si )bcEwcpfi opposing bpi ni(i?Vnuuf Wa v?rin .feelings, tho fight went on. Nothing on earth is moro weary tim such a combat, and it was no slight nt dition to Thurston's trouble that l shrank frpip ^coting Bcfiit), ihough tl causo of this shrinking would'not bei analysis. His affection had not altere in the least; but he feit us' if the ililli enco whi'jh had entered tho lives of bm with such fateful result would stand i an estranging shadow betweon thor So tho months slipped nway, and Noven ber found him still lingering in Amcric By this timo he determined that 1 must lcavo ibo country. Ho had c: Imitated his last excuso for remainin and Berkie, who had.,,boen, waiting ., Paris for weeks, waa growing restless hr inquisitive. Desiring to go direct France, Thurston, therefore, took passa] on a French steamer, which chanced bo that vessel of tragto fato, tho Villo c Havre. Before inking InY departure ho hi ?cRSanJ^?

There is nb doubt that Fato see sometimes to take a malignant pleasi iu baffling Tia when wo feel our&eb mait secure. So Thurston felt-thou it waa a very drckry kind of security he paced the deck of tho Villo du H av and saw the great expanse of ocean front, tho lana receding far and faint 1 hind. "Tho fight is over, the viet? won/' he said to himself, and at that n ment a woman's laugh floated to him. A woman's laugh T Thcro was sur nothing remarkable in stich a sound, j as it fell ?nVhis.ear,:h'?B heart seemed LoringJ J^Wf ?*^?^ ?l^2wjtf?| . birt^T^t?d-afctt^^ or color i people of their class conventionalities second i nr.tuvo, : and tho lookers-on I no reason to suppose their meeting to other than that ot two, ordinary ncqua auces.

Perhaps she felt this-nt least abo looked at him with ecol, almost haughty, surprise. "One must pay a price for all diver sions," said ?he, carelessly, "and some times it is heavier than one anticipates. I'hope wc shall have a pleasant voyage, though the season is rather against us. Have you ever crossed tho ocean before in November?" After a few more remarks, they parted -.?Upjto'/?jo^h hot party, he to go and cndeaTor* to Control thc tumult of his thoughts alono with a cigar. To do BO was not easy. Uno glance froni those wonderful eros? om: torie of that magical voice. had Ijepii enough to shatter all his fancied victory. What had months of combat availed? ile asked the question in a sort of despair, ?md (ho answer was-less than nothing. Tho fascination which controlled him vina deeper now than when ho left Sans souci ; thc passion that he vainly im agined he had crushed was strong enough lo defy his utmost effort* to subdue it. A sense r>f impotence- ol' being over, mastered by a Fate relentless as that of (Ireck tragedy-began to possess him. Ho had thought that thc chapter in his lifo in whieh Agatha Loring's name was written was closed forever, and lo ! hero on the very ship which waste have borne him from even thc memory of his infutu ft ion lie found her. ? Wh:;! part in his ifo, and perhaps in'Bertie's mf, Was she destined yet to piny ? "Ono way or another slu- will como be tween ?B and separate us." he said to himself. "Ofthat I navo felt an instinct from the first. Well, it is useless to struggle against thc inevitable. 'If tho gods force him, who can shun his fate ?' " r. If ho could not aluin bis fate, ho found, however, that it was easy enough-easier, indeed, than be liked-to shun Miss Loring. Unless he sought her attention directly, she never seemed conscious of his presence. Here, as elsewhere, she had a court of cavaliers around her, mid it waa. with a very wre, joaUius feeling that he watched her graceful, subtile coquetry-the long promenade with one, thc quiet flirtation with another, thc seductivo charm willi ali. Plainly Agatha Loring was Agatha Loripg still, alia hud not lost a single attribute of lier distinctive character. The realization of this might huvo cured Thurston, but-it did not do so. Ho felt sure that he had been worso than a fool ever to dream that sho had given Mm a deeper thought than she gave any other victim of her caprice ; out thc assurance was by no means consoling. In fact, he had reach ed that stage of passion when reason for sakes n man, and he is ready to act with n recklessness to which hu often look." back as veritable madness. Several days passed, and thc steamer was in mid-ocean, before there c. me any change in tho situation. Then, toward sunset one evening, Thun toa. by a rare chance, found Agatha on leek alone. ,. Sim waa loaning over lbj? 5bulwark, watching the sim sink in thc vast ex panso of heaving sea-his last rays gilding thc tossing waves with red glory -and, as Thurston drew m r, he saw her face in profile before she observed his approach. Seeing it thus, bc wat struck by its expression of strangely wistful and almost'bitter sadness-an ex pression HO new to his knowledge of it, that ho hesitated for an instant befon advancing to her side. "I hopo I do not disturb you, Mis.? Loring,"" he said, "but your attention ii usually so much engrossed that I have scsn very ?iii?c of you ; thc re lore yon must pardon mo il I grasp ail opportunity liko tho present." "Why should you grasp it ?" she asV.cd turning toward him. "What is then t'.-nt you and I can say to each other Colonel Thurston ?

"Yes. I am glad, though God only knows whether it means misery or happiness." . If ho had known the fate toward which they were hastening, ho might have spared himself that doubt, it meant happiness for a few short /tours, and these hours comprised all their Hpau of life. "After long grief and nain/' the end which neither had anticipated was given them ivs a gracious boon of Heaven, while thc ship went forward to meet lier doom. Those in whose memory that tragedy has not been effaced by luter calamities will remember that thc collision which sunk thu Ville du Havre in less than twelve minutes occurred nt two < 'clock in thc morning, when the passengers were all wrapped in slumber. It chanced, however, that Thurston was not among tile number of these sleepers. He had turned into his berth not long before, and bc was lying awake when the ship ?truck. A knowledge f '.ho danger instantly flashed upon him, and springing to his feet hu threw on his clothes and went on deck. Here his worst forebodings were confirmed by the terror and confusion which reigned supreme. He took in thc situation Tn all its hopelessness at once, and after a minute spent in trying to learn what chance there was of launch ing the boats, he hastened back to the cabin, and mado his way to Agatha 1/oring's state-room. As Fie reached the door, it opened, and she can.'; out-pale, hut perfectly com posed. There was no time for MUcstions or assurances. Thu ship was sinking fast, and their only hope was in gaining the deck. Hy dint of struggling, Thurston gained it before tho vcasul went down. Then they had one minute-only ono minute -for any last words. "If you can save yourself, don't think of mc," Agatha said. "I will try and not cling to you as women are said to do." ito smiled n little. "Do you think I will over let you go?" he said. "Wo are together now-for life or death." He clasped her in his arms, and their lips mot in tho first, last kiss of love. So they went down together-to death. TUB END. Curious Case of Poisoning. Lalo last night a rather unusual case of "inistnlfor? identity" occurred on O'Farrcll street, above Mason. Mrs. Jornson, thc wife of J. F. Jornsen, the down town dealer, has long been nu in invalid, and under tho advice of her phy sician has recently been in thc habit of partaking, before retiring, of n harmless, if not helpful, prescription of peppermint and other innocent mid strictly herbal extracts, mixed with a glass of Spring Valley water. Just ns she was sinking into slumber '.brough the iufluenco of this pleasant sedative, by some inexpli cable, instinctive warning from tho boun daries of another world which only Col onel Ingersoll could adequately explain, sho remembered that instead of putting tho proper prescription into tho glass of water sho had poured into it thc whole contents of a bottle of iaudanum, which her daughter, Emeline, lind that day pro cured for tho relief of tho toothache, and which was sufficient to kill about twenty good and nblo-bodicd mon. Resisting, with ono frantic effort for life, thc sleep that was overcoming hor. she aroused her bashan I and told him of the utitoward circumstances, and in hastily assumed and slightly too midsummer raiment ho toro through thc silent streets for thc res idence of tho family physician. Mrs. Jornsen's stomach was pumped out with commendable dispatch, ana refilled at intervals of thirty seconds with blnck coffee. She waa switched around tho room with a cruelty or.'-y me?"' to JO kind, and ns tho deathly stupor gradual ly gave way, her daughtor, whe had been baaliiy summoned cn dahabiUc tu support ono sido of tho persecuted pedestrian, found limo to ask, "What is thc mntter with her this timo?" "Why, she has swallowed all that con founded laudanum of yours," roplicd tho distracted father. "Why, no sho hasn't," replied Emeline, "for I took it into my room with mt ana It is thoto now." Then tho doctor censed feeling tho unequal puLo and instituted Bomi-professional investigations. It was found that Mrs, Jornsen lind not made a mist abo nt all in taking her medicine ; tho lady becamo suddenly nnd abruptly wide-awake ; tho doctor loft a madder man-ho couldn't have beon a wisor and tho Jornson family generally put in tho slight remainder of the night in an unsatisfactory and rather sleepless man ner.-San Franchco Chronicte. Durability of Timber. The RivJ'cay Age gives somo interest ing facts in regard to tho durability of timber: . Tho piles of a bridgo built by Trajan, after having been driven moro than 1,(100 I'ears, wero found to bo petrified four nches, tho rest of tho wood being in its ordinary condition. Tho elm piles under tho piors of Lon don bridgo havo beon in uso moto than 700 years, and aro not yet materially de cayed.

Some timber of an old bridge was dis covered whllo digging for tho foundations of a houso at Ditton Pork, Windsor, which ancient records incline us to bc ?i?V? nero placed there prior to the year le 98.

On this stretch mosquito netting-dark green is best -and fasten with tacks to thc laths. Thc same net ting over a frame of reeds, of osiers or wires from an old hoop-skirts, makes serviceable cake and butter covers. Uend on ..oop into a round of the size wanted; then on this fasten two semi-circular hoorri,crossing each other at right angles in thc centre above the bottom hoop. This forms thc frame, which, if of wire, should be wrapped with worsted ; on this thc netting is sewed, and a button on top serves as a handle. Air every sleeping room thoroughly even morning, nod, if possible, let in the flin to shine on the bed and bcd clothe*. Often at night when the heat is wdi-nigh unbearable, a wet cloth hung ia tho window over the blind will cool tic room as if a shower had fallen, and aery one kr >ws how water poured on th? pavement in front of the door will freshen the hot, dry air. This principle of the reduction of temperature hy evaporation is capable of much practical application. In India, and other tropi cal countries, where ice is almost un known, thc natives cool their drinking water by suspending earthcrn jars filled with it in a brisk current of air, which process is said to cool it thoroughly and rapidly. So, also, when icc is unattain able, butter may be kept firm and sweet by -citing thc bowl containing it in a shallow vessel of water and covering with a napkin, thc ends of which are well immersed in thc water in a bottom di.:. A wet handkerchief or sponge worn in thc hat when exposed to thc sun, as in tlic harvest field, will prevent sun strike under the most intense heat known to "ur climate, and will often relieve headache arising from beat and exhaus tion '.'ombincd. A Xovel Iden. In these hard times some newspapers are compelled to resort to strange devices toiutnin themselves, and wo are inclined to think that thc scheme hit upon by the Ki:?ns City Times was not altogether lcr<ly. It introduced the lottery de nied into ?is subscription list, and ad vertised four distributions of prizes for the yenr among its subscribers. The second of these has just taken place, and itu announced that n thousand prizes, worth $0,000, wore given away. But there was connected with the lottery a nord contrivance for exciting attention aoJ amusing thc public, to which we baie already alluded. The Times called up.in all light-hearted young Western damsels inclined to marriage to send in their names and photographs, with a sk;tch of their characteristics, thc design bdng to put all ouch guis np us matri monial premiums to he distributed among tl? bachelors and widowers who sub scribed for the Times. Of course it was nut supposed that any girl would step forward to be raffled for, or that any ?oung man was willing to choose a wile j lot ; but there is always a temptation for women in the chanco to talk about themselves and venture into harmless littlo intrigues with a wedding in pros pect, and it is no less pleasant fur men to ruo risks in gallantry and gambling. Tbc real thing to bo disposed of in the lottery was of course acquaintanceship. A young fellow and a girl introduced by the turning of a wheel of fortuno might correspond, learn to like each other, and perhaps get married. Amid all thc sil liness and vulgarity of tho affair there wu a romantic element thnt redeemed it from didi ness. No less than 82.3 girls Carno forward and offered themselves as premiums, and of these 116 sent their photographs. As competitors there ap ?earea 1,000 subscribers to tho Times. he drawing of the prizes took place be fore a large audience, over which the county judge presided, ou Monday after noon, .and the next dry tho Times pub limed lists of the lucky bachelors and widowers, with tho number of each man's premium opposite his name. Unless for bidden, tho editar will forwaiU each lady's address to thc person to whom lot ios assigned her, and he can then fold iis hands and contemplate with satisfac tion tho progress of 325 courtships, in ?hich ho has played the part of Sir i'an iarus of Troy. ..Clilory" Carpenter. WASHINGTON, July 21. L. Cass Carpenter, rocenUy.Ccllcetor ?f Internal Revenue for thc Columbia, I. C., district, is in Washington on bnsi ess with thc Treasury Department, Ho iys that tho movement among thc nc roes of South Carolina in favor of ft gon ral emigration to Liberia lins spread ?th wonderful rapidity. Two very large lectinga havo been held lu Charleston, ?o in Columbia, and sraaUor ones at thor points. Tho movement scents to o encouraged by a class of white- people ho, before tho war and since, havo not old tho highest social position. All of tem are Democrat*. The few white Republicans who romain have had noth ig whatever to do with tho movement. Carpenter is unablo to BCD how thc col rod people expect to carry their plans BIO OwernviuM u> V?u??. i?oj" c?pcul io oin if they could. They have sent no ommittces to Liberia and have no recent oports from there; they aro without ncans and have no prospect nf obtaining ho money necessary to pay thc cost of | inmigration. Tho demand for labor in South Carolina, Mr. Carpontor says, is jreater than tho supply, and this move? neat can only bo explained by tho vague cara of tho colored people wh?f h havo JC-CU tuuuscd by tho class of -""?io men ?eferred to. Carpenter says akp, tbat Governor [lampton is a much metter man than tho najority of his D?<*y, ?nd if allowed to*i io BO would administer tho affairs of tho | State in si*n a manner os to leave no ;auso of complaint on ?he part of any :las3.>f her citizens; His liberal course, iinvrcver. has cnuwd a division in the Democratic partr, and it is feared that .ho Bourbons <?ul be in the majority aad ?viii prove** him from carrying into ef fect mo?r/ of his plans. If an issue be Lwco*" thc Hampton party and tho lead Br*of the Bourbons could bo distinctly nado in a State election, tho forrior rould no doubt carry the State, as a ma ority of tho colored people would sus ain Governor Hampton. Tho danger is hat th? 'Jlvi'.?ons in tho Democratic par y, when a new State election takes ?lace, will make themselves felt ou'y in ho convention, and that if tho Bourbons tro successful they will force tho entire larty to sustain their candidate and pol ey.-?/ot/r?m/o/ Commerce.

I f'.t feet long) Perpetual Evaporator, (gal vanized iron,) with which I made over eight hundred pallon* of Syrup rom Sor ghum and I m piree canes. I made, under favorable circumstance's, as high as ten gal lons ?ter hour, and think that I could make with suitable mill from 75 to 100 gallons per day. The Evaporator is simple in con struction, easily operated, and makes an ar ticle of Syrup unsurpassed by any other that I have seen. Tho cheapness, (as com pared with others,) greater amount of hoil .ng surface and simplicity of construction, certainly give it the pre-eminence over ult others. JULIUS R. EAU I.E. ANDERSON, June 1877. Jons B. WATTON, Agent 1'omona Grange, Anderson County, S. C. : DKAU SIu-Yours of thc 20th inst., re specting the merits of thc "Chapman Per petual Evaporator, is received; In reply, 1 used a No. 2 (galvanizeel) Evaporator last year, at a cost of fifteen elollars, with which 1 made one thousand and fifteen gnllons of | molasses, equal in quality to any I have seen. I made from 10 to 50 gnllons per day, (i. e., in ten hours.) The labor e.! making was light and pleasant. It is so constructed that in operating requires but very little lnbor. much less than that of "Cook's Evaporator." In fact, I feel warranted in saying that from observation and informa tion of others, that thc "Chapman Evapo rator'* has no superior, if an equal, ind at less than half the cost. I can certainly re commend it in preference to any other, hc lnglfully convinced that a trial will satisfy any one, however skeptical.
