Though once enshrined In lover's "me." That time, 'tis now long, long ago Its hopes. Its joys aU passed away; On life's calm nee three babbles glow, And pleasure, vouta, and love are, they. Hop? paints them bright as bright can be Or old when you ana I were "we." I parad?seo" some woodland cot, I built great "castles In the air;" And pleasure was, and grief was not. In cot or castle tfiou wert there. Tet it was not alone for thee, For fancy always whispered "we." The distant isles of future years Gleam brightly through the golden haze; Tune's sea a reflex heaven appears, . In which the-stars are happy days. At least 'twas always so with me. When lovers you ana / were "toe." MT ?fe was aU one web of gold, T?tere thoughts or thee lite gema were set; . But soon the light of love grew cold, '.And gems and gUdlng faded; yet ' The "gift" and "paste" seemed true to me, But 'twas when you-and I were "ice." " Long, long ago, with" life hope shone, These faded fancies ; now they seem Wild fragments of a gladness gone, Tbc memory of a pleasant dream. And wonder whispers "Can lt bc, That rrer you ana I were "toe." WTBKOWE'S WILL. BT "KUI." . -' f ? t " On my way do?n to a garden party at Ful : karn ona fine afternoon, with my frienl Char? il o Twist le ton, I heard the following story of a i lady concerning whom everybody waa Jost then taUtlng: Wybxowe, Brazilian millionaire, stat, seven? ty, or thereaboute, muries Helen Chetwynd, impecunious belle, ai tat, nineteen, daughter of a-, British diplomat in those parts; and, . . afterIWO years Of connubial felicity, consider? ately dies.. Wybxowe ia jealous as a Spaniard; , And bis jealousy Jocks beyond bis own life. Bo u be leaves a terrible will beb md bim. Thia cnn . Singly eon tm ed document provides that bis widow, ?ieri .Just twenty-one. shall receive ' ?ad ebjoy"an income of 215,900 per annum so io?g-ADdonly so long-aa abe shall remain ' namarried. That if che do narry .again, abe shall receive absolutely nothing-the entire ^c*afceof the deceased passing to 1*0 distant ' wLt?vea, behoved to be hying in obscure - poverty in London. ' t v, Now cornea the most curious part of the ^^^gcod many men besides oki Wybrowe went mad about la belle Helene ont in Brazil; ; notoblj a maa who wa? thought to be nearly as big a deesas- a balf-Spaniard, half-Eoglish man^bj nam o Alvarez: Smith. This'bybria WM' said to have the temper of a fiend, the face at a baboon, and the eomplexioD of a jaundiced p&tieDt. Tho frantic vehemence with wbiob. j I whereat last he did s pesie, Smith pleaded hm cweto her. nearly frightened Miss Chetwynd into hysterics; the mahgnant black scowl that tauted bis ugly taos till it grew absolutely awful Ja its hideoosrfess. when she unconditional!* declined bia proposals, and shrank away from I - ?. ann haunted her steep- for many a night I - Aiv?tez Smith went away and thought ont I tr, 1^ vengeance, fhos is how he took it, ofter ^ ? .

They were rVjected again-this-time with the tdfitihpp of esr sin words that Helen Wy bro w e wordd have bean more prudent not to bate I spoken,to anch a-m.n. I The same steamer which brought the widow htB?e to England Lad among its passengers Airares Smith. HS never spoke once-to her I -or molested berra any way eraring the" voyage; I bat hts hungry-black ey es wonld rest upon her in a wav that frightened her in spite of her- I irnj Those eyes watched ber into the railway I ' carriage at Soutbampton; met hers as she got out on to the platform at Waterloo; and, again, - aa the doors of her sisters bonse ia Park lane dosed upon her. Every time she went abroad she mot them: Bleeping and waking, Alvan z Smith haunted hur. It was intolerable; bat I wbat could she do ? She left town; he folio wed I ber. .She sbnt herself np in tbe house for I days; and tho first person she saw when, by day or by night, ehe came "oat again was Smith; al way a 'Alvarez Smith. Mrs. Wybrowe grew nervous and ill under this implacable' persecution, which it was impossible to put an end lo. And the worst of it waar that ah? I felt ber persecutor was gaming a certain power j . -over ber; that those terriblefyes of his faso!* nateaber like s basilisk's. She never avowed ?? this ieolintr to Lady Oswestry, her aisler, bat she couldn't bejjttconfessing it to herself. * ! I Ia a few weekS^fter her arrival in London, old Wvbrowe's lawyer communicated to her I tho foliowing-sriirtlmv: intelligence : A person bad bought np the reversion * ry interest of ber husband's two distant relatives in the income I - ..that had boen loft her, subject to ber remain-1 --j^gxiamatried. -Wybrowe's kroamen, too poor j '.?? be troubled WKh many ecru pl es, and con si dering that it was barely likely a woman .- wonld k>ive up fifteen thousand pouoda a year when ehe cor?d keep it on anon easy terms, had greedily accepted tbe offer that bad been .made"them: bad accordingly execrated the I ft?ceaaary legal documente; had received a ".flglisted som down, and had emigrated-to i"" The' person who bad ihue bought them out waa? consequently, the person who wonld okiui the heavy forfeit from Helen Wybrowe in the event of her marrying agtin. And it waa hardly needful to tell her that person's I name. She guessed it instinctively-Alvarez I " Smith. . Trna, then, waa her position she mast I - ! either, at twenty-one condemn herself to a life-long widowhood;' or relinquish a magnifl oent income to the man abe detested. True, I a ooort of law might, as her lawyer told ber, set the will -aside; bat bow coald a woman petition such a court ? Her woman's deli cac y, at all events, rendered that oat of the question j in her case. Again, there - mtght be men who would thick (and who could afford to I think) lightly of marrying a beggar; andi - among them there might be. one whom she could love. Bot; wiBeraher generation, Mrs. .Wybrowe built no castles in the air of this Bort. She accepted the situation telle -qu'elle I 1 ?Vt?y shut herself up no longer; Went among her kind; encountered her basilisk with anim passable visage, and tortured her tormentor by an ingeniously arranged sequence of flirta? tions with passed masters of the art. n. I knew it, in that moment ?hen oar eyes met. I knew that I, Franois Drasdy], world worn, case-hardened, pecocorante cynic of j ?even-and-twenty, was to love this woman; I that I did love her already. 11 Bather tall, graceful as Diana in her statu? esque summer draperies, a .

The ?ores black eyes, con- a tracted in then* wrath, which met min3 in one a briet, vindictive glare, could oaly belong to one man. r That lithe dark personage with the feline ? tread, and the ugly, yellow physiognomy, d most needs be the hero of Charlie Twist ?eton's c story, the man who bad bought up the arbitra ment of Helen, Wybrowes fate-Alvarez a Smith. JJ rr He never looked at her tbie time, only at u me. I wonder whether the mao's instinct r< told bim, even then, that ? loved ber ? Mrs. Wybrowe rose a little pale; the dark g - circle arider ber eyes more plainly visible, a tort b of hunted look upon her face that made my tl pulse throb angrily-, e -."Amy seems to have forgotten me," she n r?rt' *:Ietnsj go and look tor her."

Her pale cheek flashed painfully. .?Then yon have heard -?" "Everything," I answered, stopping ! "There is Lady Oswestry yonder." Mrs. Wybrowe quickened her pace and i no th ine more till she was safe nader Amy wes try's wing again. UL The season waa over; London empty fast; dons pressing: the heat rotolera Howb9it, 1 abode still in the Sahara of Bro street Aunt Medusa had gone down i Kent with the Boodles, having extracted fi me a promise to come down for the Septem shooting-a promise I only intended to k The "if waa in Park lane.

My lady was heaven kne where; and we had been alone all tbe til Commonplaces had languished and di There had been a silence, wbioh those bet violet eyes filled divinely enough, bat wh both of as knew mast be broken ; and only oneway. I leaked ap into her face. In its passic pallor, in the trembling lip, in the scarce etrained tears that bad gathered slowly to ( eyes, I read what made me take her swiftly my arms; and theo the silence was broken tbe sweet sound of ber own name-"Helen 1' She shivered, aa she had shivered in tl valse, only, this time, not with fear. And I bead, with its diadem of amber hair, sa down lipon my breast; and I bent mme till i lips touched hers, and clang to them. I h won her I Not yet. The next moment she had freed herself.

"Because thia should never have been, i between os mnet end-here and now." "In heaveo'sname, why?" I broke m, rath mad with this piece ot feminine cruelty. "Wi must i'/?"

And Helen rose, and, bafore I could stay her bad fled away swiftly upon her feet, leaving me to face my lady alone. To, which 1 did as best I might. For a while Lady Oswestry looked grave anc judicial;-, then, by degrees, benignant, bul mildly reproachful; when I took my leave, protective and i one st ly propitious. It wa arranged between ns that I should come to Park-lane early the next day. At a frightful undue hour I drove there. A hansom bad Jost paded ap at the door; tbe Ute occupant waa speaking to the groom ol the chambers in the ball. I was jost ia time to hear the reactionary's answer to the ques? tion put to him: "No, sir. My lady and Mrs. Wybrowe left town for the continent last evening." The other swuog round on bis heel with a fierce "corojo."' and again 1 stood face to face with Alvarez Smith, the man with the evil eye. rv. Thai- night, some twenty minutes past eight of the clock, my hansom turning the Brenton street corner at a sharp trot, was nearly cat over bv another hansom charging furiously down Bond street. The two drivers exchanged a broadside of double-shotted blasphemies, flogged their horses clear of each other, and started again, the offending Jehu leading. I was bound to Charing Cross, en route to Do? ver, Paris and Lindenbad, in the track of Lady Oswestry and Helen Wybrowe; and, in conse? quence of this delay, only saved the 8? mail tra o by about two seconds. Another man, however, ran it closer still. And a man in a for hoed travelling robe, and a peaked cap palled over his eyes, took a through ticket to Linde u bid after me, and followed me on to the plat? form, half a dozen yards behind. 1 heard bim harrying after me; josi as the guard had opened the door of an empty car? nage he caught me up andgotintoo. The door was slammed, tho whistle shrieked, and the Dover mail started. I bad dropped into one corner ; my companion rolled himself into tbe opposite one. I lit a cigar; so did he; and we cleared London, and had ian a dozen miles down the line bafore I looked at him again. I was thinking what Helen's sudden departure boded me; whether I was so sure of winning her, after all; and, deep in specula'ions of this sort, I had no eyes or thoaghtfor anything else. Besides, that shapeless travelling robe and that peaked oap that kept bis face in an im? penetrable shadow would have puzzled me, sven if I bad bad a BUBD?C?OO as to who the nan in the opposite corner was. Aud m the ?reparations for my sudden departure I bad forgotten all abont him. So that it was not till be tore off his cap and lang aside bis wrapper that I new that Alvarez Jmith and I were aloue together in* that cir iage of the Dover mail-train; and that he was Flaring at me with all the furious bate be fait or me ia bis evil eyes. I looked at him tranquilly enough, I think mt I couldn't help telling ?hat tue rencontre vas by no means aa agreeabe one; that the : apresa stopped nowhere between London 1 md Dover, and that Alvarez Smith was proba- i ?ly as mad BB any inmate of Hau well. I However, 1 am not easily put off head, and, t ?al say,returned his glare with a tranquil - tare, and went on sm ok i np.

If you do, remember I've warned yon." He flung a*curse at me, and, turning away rolled himself up in his cloak, and nevei moved again till the Mail ran into the Dove Station. Then he rose Buddenlv, opened th door, sprang on the platform, and disappeared V. "And so you ran away from me, Helen ?" lt was some three or four hoar? after my ar rival in Linclenbad. I bad forced the con signe, carried Lady Oswestry'* roo nu in tb rtussie by storm, utterly discomfiting tb garrison by the suddenness and vigor of rn; as'ault, insomuch that after abrief, nopelesi struggle, it surrendered at discr?tion.

Under tbe sommer stn rs, ia the hash of thi summ r night, Bbe and I were sitting on thi balcony of their room that overlooked tin river und the carpie woods beyond; at her feet aa I luffed bi st to sit, and watch the prca violet eyes torn slowly on me; at ber feet, wit! her hand in mine again. . And uo you ran away from me, Helen ?" "What else could I do ? I wa? so weak witt yon, Frank; BO weak against my love. And tor your eake, I felt it ought not to be. So . ran away.

Let voa go, who have given me new faith, new hope, new life-made life precious to me, now-how could I ? Heleo, my Helen, nothing can take voa from me now. Yon cannot take yourself frcm me." From my arms, where she bad nejtled, on a sadden ehe started. "ThereI" ehe whispered, pointing to the deserted river-walk; "there 1 Did you not see him?" On her face, yet wet with happy tears, had come the hunted look once more; in ner voice was the old fear, though my arms and my love were about her. I knew what bad done tbm; the sight of a man for wbom I was beginning to feel something ot the hate that kills. " I saw no one, you know. And if Alvarez Smith wants to do me a mischief, why on earth B boa id be turn out and do melodrama m the moonlight-threaten with imaginary daggers, and that sort of thing-to put me on my gnard ?" "I saw him standing there,"and she pointed igatn straight before her. "And how was be dressed ?" "Ia a sort of cloak, it seemed. I saw him throw it back when he lifted his arm." "And then he disappeared-where?" "Into tbe shadow of the trees. " That was perfectly possible. A couple of itrides would take any one out of sight, who lad stood oven in tbe centro of the broad alic. If Hele.i bad really sesn Alvarez Smith, be night be bidden m that shadow even no tv, retching ua. My blood began to stir at this. *?* ? ** * * I had been just a week in the Bad when the lenoccment of this story came out. Wo had gone up the river one morning In a .hen-coop," and landed some three miles or io above Llndenbad, and strolled away, out of light of the boatmen, along the bank, down to vnich extended the low scrub und brushwood j >f the forest. We had sat down on a sort of little crag vhich overhung the river, and from which ielen hnd discovered a view which she was loing her best to sketch under an organized ?rles of interruptions from me. Lying there it lier leet, watching her eves, and drinking n her voice, thinking of tliat new life she had riven me, and that was precious to mc lor her ake, I was terribly near my death. There was hardly a breath of air astir; and 'et, all at once, my pot-hat, that was tilted iver ray eyes to keep off the sun-glare, rolled .way lazily across the turf, flipped so neatly nd lightly that I hardly felt it off ray head. A sharp crack and a little puff of white moke rising above a clump of brushwood ex ilained this phenomenon. I saw at once what this meant. I was on ly feet aud halfway across to the cover which lieltered my would-be assassin in a couple of onnds. Another bullet whizzed by ray ear, nd then I had sprung into the thicket, struck y one lucky blow a smoking revolver from ie shaking hands, and flown at thc throat of -Alvarez Smith. It was as well L.had lost no time, he got no lance of using his knife. I heard Helen scream, and (hen saw her fall feless on the turf where we had been si tl inn*, id then I was wrestling for dear life with a ?adman. He had no science, bul he held me ke a fiend. I cut him off his legs again and rain; but he clung so desperately to mc that could'ut drop him. Eacli fresh struggle .ought us nearer and nearer the edge of thc , Hie crag. I guessed what he wanted to do, ? id put all my remaining strength into one , jrce. desperate effort to liing him. i Tliia time he went down, but my foot had ( ipped on the dry, short turf, and he mau- i jed to pull me dow a upon him. I felt his arms close around mein agrip of J eel as he twisted and writhed toward thc [ Ige; I heard his yell of ?diabolical triumph in s y ears; knew that we must roll over; felt the ?j rlh slip away lrom me; felt the mad rush i air by rae; felt a shock that seemed to stun 2 me; and then, locked in each other's arms, the water closed over us like a thick darkness. -T- ******** He must have struck against something in the fall, and have been dead or stunned when he reached the water. In a second I had wrenched myaef free from that deadly.grip, had risen to the surface, and was striking out for the bank. Ten minutes more and I was kneeling beside Helen, slow? ly recovering her consciousness under the sympathizing care of a forest-keeper's wife. * * * * * * * * The body of Alvarez Smith was picked up next day. He had disguised himself so well, while waiting his opportunity to settle matters with me, os to have eluded detection by the Polizei Amt: but I was able to swear unhesitatingly to his identity, and ddi, with some pardonable satisfaction. He is believed to have left no one to exact the forfeit from Helenl Wybrowe when she marries me; and, supposing his bargain with the original claimants to have been a lawful one, there is an end, you see, of "Wybrowe's WiU."

CHOP.-The condition of the crop appears to be as follows: Increase*area planted in cotton from io to 20 per cent.- .The- labor. has been increased 60,000, and perhaps more, hy a general movement from the poor lands of-.North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee to richer lands in the southwest. The preparation of tbe ground bas been alto? gether better than last year, and the amount of fertilizers much heavier; the season, so far, has been more favorable. The condition of all farm Implements and mules ls mnch improved. All that Is wanted to make an Increased crop is good weather. As for the picking, that question hos been settled. If the bauds employed last season conld gather over 3,100,000 bales, there will be no trouble In picking more this year If lt ls grown. PBICS IN LIVERPOOL.-It is a surprising fact that notwithstanding our large crop, the price of middling uplands In Liverpool from 1st Septem? ber, i860, to 1st Jun?, 1870, has averaged li-66d, while for same period the previous year the price only averaged ll-26d. How ls lt that with a crop of 500,000, larger than was expected last Septem? ber, that prices have been maintained at a higher range than when the crop was only 2? millions? Was lt not because the crops for the three previ? ous years were not large enough for the wants of the world, and that we commenced this season with a dirth or cotton and cotton goods all over the world? It has taken nearly a year of Increas? ed production to All up this gap, and as yet with very little effect on the prices of goods. But lt does not by any means follow that because this crop has been disposed of at full prices, that another as large, or larger, will go at same rates. No; give the spindles or the world cotton enough to run full time, which has not been the case for years, and there is an end to the competition for the raw cotton. Three and a half millions In this country, with the supplies from other sources, would, we believe, be sufficient to keep all the mills busy. When that ls the case, the planter cannot expect to realize such profits on his In? vestments as lie has been receiving, but only a fair and reasonable return for his time and labor.
