There was so much danger for him in the bare desert, with his scanty supply of water, that she might well listen to fear as soou as it had any reason to make itself heard; and .with this dread, when she next drew water from her ?scanty supply, came the horrible torment of the anticipated death by thirst, which seemed descendingupon her children and her. Tho day sho had thoughl he would return rose and set, and sc . did another aud another; and frone fearing she had begun to believe, in deed, that Paulott's earthly hours Avero passed; yet hope would not tn subdued entirely; and then she felt that perhaps by prolonging theil lives another day only, she shoulc savo them to welcome him, and tc profit by his hard-earned treasure The store of water was sacredly pre cious. She dealt it out in tho small est portions to her children, and sh< herself scarcely wetted her lips; sh hardened her heart to see her boy' pale face, her girl's feverish eye; sh checked even the motherly tender ness of her habits, lest the softenini of her heart should overcome" he resolution; and so sho laid them i: their beds the third night of he dread, when, indeed, there wa scarce another- day's supply. Sh herself lay on her's, but deadly ans iety kept her from sleeping, and he ears ached wfth the silence whic ought to have been broken by a ster And at last, oh, joy! there was afoot Yes; a few moments made that oei tain which, from the first, indeed she believed, but which was so fain that it wanted confirmation to he bodily sense. Up sprang Ellen, an darted to meet him. She held foi ward thc candle into the air, and lc it was a woman. Ellen screame aloud; the woman had seen her bc fore, and said nothing-only presse forward. "Who are you?" erie Ellen; "are you alive?'' "Yes, jus alive; and see here," said the wc mon, uncovering the face of he young child; "my child is just aliv? too. Give me water before it dies. " "Then my children will perish, said Ellen. "No, no," said tho woman; "ho' aro you alive now, unless you hav plenty? All mino are gone but thi one. My husband died yesterday ours has been gone days." "My husband is dead, too," sai Ellen, "anti I have only one draugl left." "Then I will take it," said tl: mother, rushing forward. Ellen caught her and struggle with her. The poor child moane in its mother's arms, and a pang sh< through tho breast of Ellen. "Ft God's sake, miserable woman," si said, "do not go near that basil You aro mad with want; you wi leave none for my children. Sta here and I will bring your chi water. You and I can want, ar . :r.< and mine can drink." lint tho desperate woman passe on, her eyes fixed on tho water ar flated with intenso desire; her Iii ?..ide open, dying almost for tl draught. Ellen's soul was conoe: trated in thc fear that the last hoj of her boy aiK1 girl'? life was aboi to be lost; .sho struggled with tl woman with all her might; si ?erearaed aloud; sho lost her hoi she seized a pistol from tho tabl and, closo as she was to her adve nary, fired it full at her. Tho moth fell with a shriek. Ellen started fo ward and broke her fall, and la hold on the child to free it from h dying grasp. "Give him mo, givo him mo!" sa the mother, struggling to lift herse np, and stretching hor hands ont fi the boy. Tho trembling Ellen stooped give him to her, but tho child's het drooped on one sido as she held hi ont. Ho made no effort to v/it in his mother's arms. Ellen wild raised his faco, and ho was dead, to Tho shot had gono through b breast to his mother's, and a litl blood bogan to steal from his lips. "He's dead!" said the mother, wi was herself passing away. "Oh, u boy!" and then feebly, with her fai failing strength, she raised him, ail mor? than ono effort, in hw ?rn and pressed her lips to his. twice with all the passion that death loft in her. The wasted form of the child lay there, all pale and withered; the straight brown hair was parted on his thia forehead; the mother's un? covered breast, where his head rest? ed, was white, and the hands deli? cate; the raiment was luxurious; that head had not been reared in expecta? tion of dying on a bed of rock. Ellen burst into ft flood of tears, aad wrung her hands as she stood by, looking on what she had done. The woman hf ted her eyes and tried to form her lips into a smile; she no longer felt any vehement passion, and' the torment of thirst waa. now only one of the pangs of death. Her eyes wandered to the water, but when Ellen moved to fetch some, she stop? ped her. . "No; it was for him. He is at ease now. You did right.. Don't grieve." "Forgive me," said Ellen, kneeling at her Ride. "Oh, yes! the pour, precious babe suffers no more. I was mad; you said truly in that. I nursed him at my breast till his lips grew dry even there; wo lived not far from your cavern, and I have seen you, and been glad you Irad water. Wc had some. We? " Yes; is not my husband dead; and my boy is dead, too! Sec! there is blood on his face; wipe it away; he will die else." Ellen's sobs caught her wandering attention. "I remem? ber now; you killed him! Oh, good angel, guardian angel! You have killed him, and there is only I to suf? fer. He is gone from this dear, dear body ! I wish it did not look so like him still-it looks in pain, too-it looks thirsty." Ellen hid her own face on tho mother's shoulder for au instant-her children had awakened at thc noise of the pistol, and they were out of bed and clinging around her; her sorrow roused theirs, and the sound of their lamentation reach? ed the dying woman's ear. "There are my children crying. Alasl I thought they had all been dead." "They are mine," said Ellen. "Yours are at rest; yours are all dead." "Thank God!" said the mother; and, though the words were earnest, the voice was faint; all the effort of nature was in them, but they came feebly from her lips. After that, in? distinct sounds and murmured names only were heard; her breath came in gasps, and at long and longer inter? vals, till the faint shuddering of her limbs ceased by degrees, and, after it had been insensible to the world foi awhile, the spirit quitted it forever. Ellen's heart died within her; hei senses were troubled, and sho pressed herself in Paulett's arms without knowing when he came or being sur? prised that he was there. "Oh, Paulett!" she said, atlast, "1 have not done wrong, but it is sc dreadful!'/ Paulett soon gathered from her a]. that had happened, and gazed witL pity on what had once been a beauti? ful form, but rejoiced that it suffered no longer. Ellen, shuddering, ar? ranged tho dress, composed th? limbs, and, with a thousand tears, I placed the infant on that breast which j had been so faithfully its mother tt the last. Aud there they slept-mo I thor and child-the day of trouble ended for both. I "My poor Ellen," said Paulett, "] wish it were thou and my childrer who wero there at rest!" and Ellei pressed her Charles and her Alice tc her heart, and would have been glac" if they had, indeed, been dead.

A fat candidate for office in Ala bama, who is said to weigh 87: pounds, asked the peopls of hie din tnet to try him. A clergyman,, at the examination ol the young scholars of his Sunday school, put the following question: "Why did the children of Israel set up a golden calf?" "Because they had not money enough to set np an ox," was tho reply of a little chap who took a dollar and cents view of the matter. A mau in Harrisburg wishing to gat rid of his eat and four kittens, placed them in a sack and took -them five miles into the country. They returned the next day, with - their number increased to nine, by ?he ad? dition of-four kittens, picked up on tho road. A cow in Cincinnatti, in a mistake, the other day, took a feed of pine saw-dust instead of bran. In the evening she gavo turpentine instead of mirk! So says the Cincinnati Herald. A doctor who has been trying to establish a practice in Wisconsin, says that the village is so extremely healthy that a man was murdered there on the Fourth of July for the purpose of starting a grave-yard. A man who is advertising lodgings "to let for early risers," at Danbury, Conn., adds: "Cochin China fowls of unusual voe?l powers are kept on the adjoining premises."

The present condition of our labor will cause our farmers a ul planters to seek out such implements HS will enable them to reduce tho number of laborers, and, as far as possible, make themselves independent ? of the most unreliable and unruly. To aid therain this desirable object, a pract ical and I intelligent planter, connected with thc i RURAL, will be assigned the duty of searching for and testing thc many labor? saving implements now used in all parts of our country, and report upon them through our columns. Those found adapted to our section will be finely illustrated, and ar- ' rangements will be made by us with the \ manufacturers to supply our* farmers and planters with them at tho lowest prices. In this way, a liberal support of the RU RAI. will secure a practical benefit to the South? ern people. To accomplish these good intentions, tho RURAL must first receive a reasonable assurance of support. All we ask is 2,500 good subscribers.
