The full, lustrous eyes looked .
unwaveringly into his; there wasI
no sign of tremor in the ripe, eur-i

"I thoughtI loved a true woman;!

"Sparc your commctit; this con-1

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.

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,

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.

stir its deepest impulses; and at
thirty-four she ?vas Hope "Warton
still.
But Hayne Boughton that summer
in the country had gained

entire.
i v ftf seemed like a dream to her
A that this man?courted, flattered |

^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

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**

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

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.

litis weak womanhood. Drunkard,

drink, and then the separation
came. The brother waa a fugitive

And this was the end of Hope

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

and sorrow. 1'ut .beyond? Earth

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

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.

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.;

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

on smelling found thp ammonia fa it
nearly as strong as in hartuhorn,
The eaves aro owned by fivo Confederate

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
