When he saw what great ehane time had wrought in his son, he was haunt ,ed with the knowledge of his unjust will. But how -change it now and ever expect peace in the household again, should his son possi,bly back slide on his home coming? Jake took all things easy and was anxiously awaiting the return of Miss Caroline from school. One day Cage hata an opportunity to have a little gossip with his young master. "Now look here Marse Jake, dis here 'still wedder' ain't gwine to las, case I heard ole Miss talking. She sav vou bledge to fall back in your ole way, ef Cage staid aboat.

His young tr smiied, as the long ago came aek 'o him, thrugh t0ages mention ing t.h?t changeful epoeh in his life. Jake began earnestly to revolve Cage's advice in his mind and one day proposed it to his father and it was readily accepted. His father took the occasion to speak highly of Cage a,s a trusty field hand. His mother ,was suspicious of the arrange menit, and doubted Jake's ability to withstand the influence of Cage, but both the ladies gave- their acquies cenee. In due time Miss Purdee came home ifrom the boarding school, the emWodiment of all the graces of a "young girl graduate," the picture of loveliness and beauty. It must be said to her credit, that she was not poiled by her beauty and aeom plshments, nor had she any vain con ceit. Miss May was frank enough 'to say, "She seemed 'to know her plaee and had not forgotten she was an overseer's daughter.'' But old Mrs. Baldwin said, "she 'ouM'n 't stomgeh these poor white * olks, who tried to 'take on the ways o'f their betters." * Take did not meet her at the spring as of yore. He had an inspiration.

After much beating about the bush, it was all arranged, that the two should be married near the end of the year, which was accordingly con summated. Maj. Baldwin did the handsome part by his son. As soon as the Pur dee family moved, the overseer's house was renovated, additions put to it. in all it was made to look neat I and comfortable. Jake and his young wife started out to housekeeping with the highest of hopes and pros pects. Everything was bright and rosy to the blissful young couple. To them the sun seemed to shed a more brilliant luster, the great full moon, looked like moulten silver, every rose and shrub was a lilly. The birds ichirped sweeter than in days gone by, and all in all, they were just as hap py as "when the morning stars sang together." Jake started with his farming op erations with energy and a will. Fences swere changed, old ones torn down and new ones built, grounds were ,cleared, and ditches dug. Or chardis were set out, and the young wife was busy with. her yard, her roSes and flowers. 'The negroes no longer rwore that dejected and care worn look, but sang again the melo dies of the old plantation songs. In all his operations, 'Cage was Jake's ,man' "Friday," and it really looked lke, as Cage said, "We jist natural ly is gwine to tear things to pieces there, if God gibs us grace, and we gits plenity rain." It was the talk cif the neighborhood, "What great improvements Jake Raldwin had made in his daddy's old quarter place, and that he was worth two overseers.'' He took great interest in the poli tics and rwelfare of the community, became an advisor to his friends, and an all round useful citizen. In time a little girl came to bless the lives of the thoroughly happy couple, and when all -the negroes came in to see the ''little miss" of the Baldwi quarter, Cage said. "hit was shore enough des zakly lack Miss Calline, and hit look lack Marse Jake too." But a great rumbling and disturb ing sound could. be heard, rolling away southward from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, gathering force and strength,with the passing of every day. Many talked lightly of the gath ering storm, and declared it would soon pass away. But Jake Baldwin viewed the matter differently, and he had many serious talks with his wife of the coming eataclysm. He baad often declared no tie could bind clos er than his State, and if hostilities came he would go with the South right- or wrong.

That is a novel experiement that Mr. Henry Caldwell of (Spartanburg is making, that idea of breaking up -corn land with dynamite, and it will be watched with: great interest. How it is going to turn out, we confess that we 'have no idea, and we shall not attemipt to predict. There are those who think that the deep break ing up of land in the spring is fatal to a good crop the same season; but are of opinion that the result will be beneficial later on. There is a com monly accepted theory that b,acteria is one of the most important, and an absolutely essential requisite to the production of good crops. The ex prts assert as a fact 'that lightning ~kils the bacteria in the ground sur rounding, wherever it strikes. We have an idea that this killing is due to the intense heat as well as tosthe shoek. The explosion of dynamite would be accompanied by both heat and shock, but it may affeet the bac teria adversely. Of course, also there may be hbad effects from the tarning up of too much elay subsoil at this season. But, however, all this may be, we do not want to 'be understood as sugesting any unfavorable eriti cismn of Mr. Caldwell, whether his crop is a gqod one or not, we admire the ori'ginality of his experiment, and we think 'he is entitled to applause for trying to do something.
