"And tliisisvour fund decision?") "It 13." j The full, lustrous eyes looked . unwaveringly into his; there wasI no sign of tremor in the ripe, eur-i ving lips. "I thoughtI loved a true woman;! I find th:it 1 am mistaken," paid j itaync ISuiighton, bitterly. "Youj are as fulsc?" iler gesture was .half c::treaty, j half command. "Sparc your commctit; this con-1 versation is distasteful to me.! Let us end it." Kayne Houghton bowed coldly j and turned away. She watchcd him as he went down the walk, his proud head thrown back, every motion expressing powerful manhood, tonsc and nerved by sudden controlling passion. Flame-colored leaves floated slow ly down; the sunbeams danced g*yly upon the path.; and in the vflllnw-rn'hnil T\ncrr? rwl.-l J "'"1"^ ? gray s^irre-l chattered shrilly; but lie took no notice of them. At the gate only ho turned and saw her watching him. lie lifted, his hat, mockingly, bowed low, am', strode firmly down j the road. "With a choking eye and dimmed j eyes, Hope Warton turned, and fled to the privacy of her room. "O Charlie, Charlie !" she moaned, "what have you done ? Must I loae all now?all joy, hope, love ? God ! how I have thirsted for love ! how I have hungered for some one who should absorb every feeling, emotion, and give equal passion in I A . .1 1 O. luiuiii jvhu tu iubu n now, arccn years of waiting; to go back to tho husks and poverty of divided hearts, to feel the bitterness of a lonely, solitary existence! Heaven! it is more thai) I can bear." She wrung her hands despairingly, The prido that had sustained her was all gone now. She was a woman, wretched, solitary, stripped of woman's primestnecd?love. "And to be condemned b}- him! Looked upon as false^trifling, guilty ! Condemued, and yet unable to reveal the truth! But I am true, Eayne Bouglilou?true as life !'' She looked up prdudly through her tears. She was no weak-hearted, sentimental girl, Hope Warren; hut a glorious woman?resolute and ossertivo. After that first concession to suffering womanhood, she put aside w eakness, and was Ilope "Warton again. Thirty-four years had crowned 1 11 jicrwiiQ queenly gracc?a form fulll rounded, and commanding, a regal head, and v truthful, noble face. Weak, presuming dandies had dashed their vanity against her selfreliant nature, and pronounced her heartless; strong, noble men had . caught glimpses of her true worth and nature, and gono sorrowfullv - ^ I away because they were tmablo to stir its deepest impulses; and at thirty-four she ?vas Hope "Warton still. But Hayne Boughton that summer in the country had gained > \yhat many longed for. Hope Wart. Lj, toxjlfound in him what her heart braved, and her surrender was complete.apd. entire. i v ftf seemed like a dream to her A that this man?courted, flattered | nonorea by his fellows?should ^Lorne and lay at her feet, honors, s^Hfome, heart, and supreme love. In jpretorn ?he yielded her most perfect ^SRv'e; all the longing of, lonely ^mirs found complete satisfaction ll^his love, every thought, feeling, i ' *n<* desire in him. Warton's nature was proud ;A.. ^uSHrong; and liko all self-relian^ k '3HV' w^Gn s^e succumbed, her 5- iramppon was perfect and total. I u . . V A'. - Quietly entering the shaded parlor some days before, she hoard voices on the piazza?Rayno Boughton conversing with his friend, Frank Wilbur. "I would never marry a poor girl," said Rayno; "I should always Idistrust her lovo, and fear that she 'married for money. To retain my love a wtfman must bo beyoud suspicion." Hope "Walton laughed softly. "Dear Rayno," she said to hoi-self, 'S ou can never suspect me of doing that. My fortune is large enough to make me independent of that consideration." llow carelessly she heard the words tficu: how unimportant to licr they seem ! Hut how chillingly they come hack afterward ! llow cruelly she remembered them when Charlie?fair-haired, irresolute, dissipated Charlie, resemblance of his weak mother?her only brother, wrote to her from the fashionable resort where he was sojourning with his helpless babywife that his fortune was gone, that lie was penniless. And worse still ?-alas unfaithful to hi:? trust, and the fortune of an orphan-ward intrusted to his care was squandered. "Weak, sellish Charlie, how earnestly lie implored 3:er to relieve him ! His trust must he accounted | for; exposure was at hand, would die not save him '( Give him her fortune, he wrote, and ho could escape exposure, restore the trust, and be safe. He would care for her afterward ; she should not want; he could work for her, heg. do anything?only save him, spare his helpless wife the shame. Hope YTartou's whole nature rehelled; a spirit of justice burned within her. "lie has sinned," she said ; "let him miller. Why should I bear the burden of his faults ? Give up m\ fortune!" How terribly Rayno Boughton's words came back! how they rang in her cars, and made her brain whirl! "Xevcr!" she said, "never! 1 will not saerifieo all to liim; lie shall not strip my lifo of all hope and love." Memory made her pause. There came back lo her that frial scene, when a gentle, dying mother bade her be a mother to the wayward boy who knelt by her side. Again she saw tho light of peace and rest come into those troubled eyes as she promised. She had been faithful to her charge; should she desert him now ? Bitter was tbe conflict, but Hope Warton conquered. >Sho put the woman under foot, and was the strong heart again. "I will save 3*011, Charlie; God help me," slic said. "The path of duty may be bitter, but its end is bright." lfayue Boughton wondered at her cold, constrained air at the breakfast-table next morning. If he could only have known the lire that was raging in her heart! She joined him on the lawn after breakfast, os ho stood looking dreamily up into the dancing leaves of a bright-liued maple. What she said she knew not; she only knew that she stood before him cold, calm, decisive, and asked him to release her Irom her engagement. She gave no reason, assigned no cause ; she wished to be free?that was all. AVnnld hp. vnb>nan linv No outward sign of emotion, 110 trace of tlio lierco conflict within, no cvidcuco of a tortured and quivering heart \va3 visible. Her voice was calm and even, her manner gmxand self-possessed. And Ilayne Bonghton, manlike, suspected not the anguish within, the wild longings struggling lor utterance, the bitter agony of her throbbing, bursting hoart. lie eaw only a woman tired of her conquest, anxious to shake off her irksome bonds, that sho might do* rive from the cnsnnrcment of some OtllOP .fliA Vinnrtlnoa _ ww w iiUO>l CA^/1 ll^LHUU t which he could no longer afford. His heart had been the plaything of her fancy, his love won but to be cast a3ide ; he had served her vain purpose and was useless now. Why should she be fettered longor ? After the first sharp, cruel throb of agony his pride rose supreme, lie was not one to sue for unwilling favor. She cast his love coldly, contempuously aside; why should ke plead for its continuance! Pride concealed his grief; his indignation alone was visible. Aud thus they parted, and one week later Rayhe Boaghton was on his way to Europe^, to bury in foreign travel the sense of his great loss. Hope "Warton had deceived him; what woman eoiilH oft** ^ __ *?v wards trust! ^ Hopo Warton's disappearance from the fashionable world famished the gossip of a few days and then was forgotten. Life has too many activities; each hea^t too many purposes and desireo of its own to, io:ig heed the fall of another. Bravely alio took up the cross uncomplainingly bore it. No useless sorrow, no fretful complainings marred the worth of her sacriiicc. [The past had been a sweet dream ; ' it had vanished, but she could [thankGod for its memory. After cverv dollar had been hon !orably repaid, a small sum remained to them?enough, In tlic bands of an earnest, prudent man, to be !ilic basis of future independence, j Hut Charlie was not such a man. In is indolent and luxurious habits overcame all - manly rcsolvos. j Weak, vacillating, ho was a burden I instead of an aid. Uis own capacity made him reckless; ho could not bear the silent rebuke of Hope's 'manner, more cutting than angry words. Tn senseless riotings lie squandered their slender store; in drunk' Oil t?l i l I 1 V t \ Hill iio ?i\ m UWV.U OUH illUIL* litis weak womanhood. Drunkard, ! loafer, a whining suppliant for drink, and then the separation came. The brother waa a fugitive i from justice; his helpless wife and 1 new-born babe dependent on the 'efforts of the strong-hearted sister. I And this was the end of Hope | Warton's sacrifice?made more hitler by its uselestncss. This was the result of her agony, so shameful and yet purchased at how tcr rible a cost! iS'o wonder her strong j heart trembled , no wonder her noible spirit bowed for a moment. But with unrepining lips she took J up life's weary load and carried it 1 bravely onward. j And how often thus ? Life's purest deeds, humanity's noblest actions, produce here only bitterness and sorrow. 1'ut .beyond? Earth 1 1 /??! 1 ? * * : n;t3 uu nonors ntieu to crown tliom; their reward is in hoavcu. The evening breeze blew softly 'through the opened windows of a i Southern hospital. It lifted the 'swaying covers of pure white, spread the odors of newly-gathered ilowers, and toyed lovingly with (the crolden curls of a sufferer who lay babbling softly to himself in the wanderings of fever. Ray lie Bougliton, walking slowly up the aisle, between the long rows I of snowily-draped beds, paused to | listen. lie had never seen that I face before, and yet there was isomething strangely familiar in it. ! Something in the arching brows, Jin the graceful curve of the busy | lips, in the tones of the voice, called up slumbering memories in his 'heart, bitter memories that lie thought bad been forever put to rest. "Unknown," said the attendant. ; 111 answer* to Ray no Boughton's 1 questioning look "lie cannot live j much longer, the fever will reach jits height to-night, and he is too ; much broken down to rally. To{morrow morning he will be dead/' It ay 11c returned sadly to the patient. The fair hair was damp with sweat, the blue eyes flashing witu icvcr-liglit, the restleas tongue busy with wandering words. lie raved wildly of guilty drunken scetios, of fierce brawls, and wild revels. Then lie was a fugitive, wretched, despairing, imploring in fraiUic words his pursuers not to slay him. A softer look camc into the wild eyes: there was a mournful entreaty in the lowered tone. j "Nellie, dear Xellio, come to me. 11 am waiting, waiting for you and j baby. Will you never come? They j lied, Xellie, X did not desert you. |I am waiting, darling Will you ! not come ?" Jiis tono was inexpressibly tender and pleading. "And Hope, brave, strong, true IT izope, you will not desert men ? Whcro arc you, Hope? Coino tome. They *aid you were to bo married, LLopo; but he loft you when you bccumc poor. It was not 1113' fault, illopo; they took it?theflondB, Hope. | And tho3* are coming now, coming for me. Savo me, Hope, save me!" A wild hope was leaping in Rayno Bou^kton's heart, a nnw _ 1 pouring into his mind- Could it bo? He almost shuddered to ask himself the question. Far into tho night ho gat there lis* tening to the ravings- of tho dying man?sat until tho fluttering hands grew quiet, the babbling tonguo hushed, the restloss eyes motionloss. Then ho drew the covoring reverently over the stiffening form, and turned silently away. The first beams of tho coming sun wcro flushing tho east; a solitary bird cliirped sweetly. Hayne Boughton's eyes raisod with adoring thaukfuluess. Tho sun of hopo had risen in his heart; doubt had given place to truthful certainty. Noxl day he followed tha Ho?wi form to tho grave, and tbon took his way northward. . The morning-sun cast straggling [beams betwoen tho hoasc-tops into thija scantilj'.furnished room whore Hope Warton sat busily writing. No roftt for the aching fingers; their brefd depended on the copying which hcjx, weary fingers performed. iJ \ On the neat bed a wasted form lay wearily complaining. Life was low in tho dull, sunken eyes;- the weary one was fust sinking to rest. "IIusli, Nellie," suid Hope Warton's sympathizing voice. "You wear yourself out by your fretting. Compose yoursely, Nellie; you have a baby to live for," "Ho will nevor come again, Hope, I shall never sco him again. 1 am dying. Hush, Hope, I feel it?dying. O baby, baby, how can I loavo you !': Bho caught tho wondering child besido her, and pressed it closely to ner breast-. I "I will boa mother to your child, Nellie. Fear not, I will euro for baby." llopo "Warton's memory brought up that pronii.se of long ago. How bitterly had it cost her to fulfil it! She had carried her cross bravely; she would not falter now. The peace that catno into the dying mother's eyes amply repaid her. It was all over. Hope AVarton sat mournfully ga/.ing upon her little charge. Site was alone now. J low dcsolato seemed the future! What agony to remember the past! She heard not the eager steps :isjcending the stairs; she knew not that I tho 111'OSlMlPfi fill' W'liicli k1i<? !fiii#rn?) : above all others, was coming to ]?er. j A quick-knock at the door aroused her: but before she bad advanced a 1 ' s>tcp it was Hung open, a strong pair I of arms were about her, a wellremembered voice sounding in her ears. "Hope, darling! Thank CJod 1 have lbtn.d you !" One blbsful moment she rested there ; the joy of years seemed compressed into that moment. Then she remembered, and struggled to escape. "Be quiet, Hope, I know all. How could you imagine that I loved you less bceause of poverty." Ray no Boughton's voico was re proachful ; but Hope's gaze fearlessly met bis. "1 beard you say that you would not marry a poor girl ; that your wife must be above the suspicion of having married for money." Hayne Boughton understood all now. How clearly the words came back to him. Brave, unselfish, wrong ly-judgcd llope, content to bear the flame rather than to expose another. "Foolish words, darling, and bitterlv atoned for. lint it. is mist Will you not forgive me? Jie my wife, darling. Henceforth nothing shall separate us." t:I cannot." Her gaze rested wearily upon the child. Must the new peomise mock her as tho old had done?dash the brightness from her life just when it was most precious. Iiayno lioughton's gaze followed hers. Tho words 6i)ok?!ti in *i?? Southern hospital came back; the black garb of Hope revealed a fresh grave. "Poor child 1" ho said, mournfully, "motherless, fatherless!" Hopo "Warton knew that her brothOl lirwl irrwio TT|? flioclm/l til" she would utter. "I will he a father to it," lie said, solemnly. Nay, Hope, you shall not refuse me." And Hope AVarton, leaning on that strong breast, could not deny him. Softly, amid her falling tears, she murmured : "Through the shadows?" "Into the light I" said the deep voice of llayito Boughton, reverently. Native J'kktiuzkr.?Vast quantities of money are annually sent out from tlio South for foreign fertilizers. A discovery .has been made, which we hope will result in retaining tho most of this annual expenditure at home, thus adding greatly to the available resources of the South. It has rcjcently come to light that there are, in the caves of Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, immense quantities of hat fiuano,, which analysis has proved to be superior to tho Peruvian. These eaves, of which thero aro r.lnvrm in number, hnvc been infested, probably for hundreds of years, by millions of bats, which have hatched, lived aud died there without ever seeing tho light. Tho deposits that havo accumulated from them aro said to be almost lnexhauslblo. Ono of these oavo.s alono is twenty-ono in length. This guano has been tested on veg. etation with tho liappiost cffect. Be.; sides stimulating the plant, it is said | to act as an oflcctual safeguard against worms and bugs. It contains a large percent, moro of ammonia than tho Peruvian article, and is pronounced more valuablo by thoso who have tried both. Wo saw some of this product yesterday at tbo*commission houso of JHessrs, Jjoo & Taylor, and on smelling found thp ammonia fa it nearly as strong as in hartuhorn, The eaves aro owned by fivo Confederate soldiors, who purchased them for fivo hundred dollars, and their means aro too limitod to permit them to work thorn on a scale that their importance domands. They, therefore, we learn, dMuro to disnowo nf ?r? JT """ *"*" interest in thorn to procure capital with which to enlarge their opera* tions. The secret was discovered by a nitre agent of the Confederacy daring the war, and communicated to on# of the present owners.?Lynthburg Virginian. ^ "Pete is yon into ther# sweetmeat*, again V "No marm, them aweipt-, meats is into me." \ I Straw for Horses.?The value of straw as feeding substance was never hotter provod than by the following fact. A firm having a largo number of heavy wagon horses, had frequent occasion for tho veterinary surgeon until they wore recommended to mix a certain portion of fine cut straw with the clover hay. This has been practised now for some years, and their bill for doctoring is sit a mimimum. Tho partner of tho linn, who told mo this, said how advantageous it was not to bo deprived, as they formerly were, of several horses?to 'say nothing of tho saving in expense and los:?. Tho fact is, tho food was loo rich or loo mucilaginous, lor I luivo oflcn been loM that lino hay, 'unmixed with straw chair, hulls in (.lie stomach, and thus i.s deprived of .action of (ho gastric juices. Wo know ! thut too much succulent or rich grasjscs arc injurious, and 110 doubt straw chair mixed with it acts mechaniualjly, if not chemically, with advantage. U would bo well for our agricultural friends to know thai for .several thousand horses belonging to the London '(Jeneral Omnibus C'?>mpany, the food lis all passed through the chaff culler with, 1 believe, a certain proportion 'of straw. "While Spring grazing our j bullochs tares, we mix straw with it j i:i their early growth, but as I hoy adj vaacc to flowering ami podding, this ^is not required, because there is much I wheat and oats grown with Ibis, which gets intermixed on pacing j through the chaff machine.?J. 21 (.cut. .
