A Defeated Conqueror, l'eoplo said I was the luckiest fel low living, and I auito indorsed thoi opi-nion, for I had not only entered int.) possesion of a decent little legacy left mte by my uncle, but I had als won the hand and heart of Ada Miller the prettiest and most charining young lady in the whole county. Peoplo said her father was im uuensely rich, and that she would come in for a handsome fortune athis death but what cared I about that? Por had I not suillicient for us both, even If sht were penniless ? And did I not lova hto with the whole strength of a pure and disinterested lovo ? I cannot begin tc detcribo her to you, for the task il quite beyond me. Sullico it to say that she was admired by all who knew her, and loveu by not a few. The ltter circumstances ceased t< disturb me when once I became het accepted lover, though before tha time it occasioned me a great deal o anxiety. and caused me to spend many a restless night. Of one lover in particular had I beet jealous, for to my excited and fear laden magination he seemed to liosses cverythring that a young lady couli desire. lie was tall, broad-shoulder od, handsome, with a pleasing man ner and faultless dress, and in addi tion to all this, lie was endlowed witd more than an average share of thi w orlh's goods. He was madly in love with Ada, bit conducted his wooing in a way with which not even his closest rival could find fault. Kind, considerate, an gentlemanly, never obtruding his pres enee , unnecessarily, he yet managet to pay her' considr.aI'Ible attention, an many an anxious time) did I spend fearinug that his superior attractipn: would put me in the shade. 'ate, however, decided otherwise for when I Sti summnonied u) courage t< put my fortunes to the test, Ada shyly accelted me, informing me in a mios engagzing manner that she had nevel love I anyone else. You may be sure that I was in cestasies, and scarcel: knew for the next few months wvhethe I walked upon air or upon solid ground Our engagenent was to last a yetr at the end of wihich time out' marring was to take place. The time had almost elapsed. pn nothing t-'!d occurred to natr the at m1ooV ' h scene, when. quite \a expectedly. Something happenme( whi tiiled Me With the deepest horror, ani which eauses ime to shudder even tiot as 1 recall it. It has partly to do with my rival Horacec Hishton, whose existence to the time I had almost forgotten. lie had received the rews if outr en gagemecnt in an appar'ently enhan ant ie it man netr, and his subsequent be hanvior heal not, led us to regard him al oc ing titore titan ord iniarily affected b~ it, lbutt in the event I amt about to do twribe~i, I was enabled to see-how dlee andi tPr..ic the effect upon him reall: Trho revelation came in this wise. It wanted but two days to outr wved ding, and 1 had occasion to go on: little business connected with it to neighborir.g town, a place some fou miles distant from my hiome. Havinj accomplished my errand, and findinj that I had some considerable time t wvait for' a train, I resolved to wall boack, so striking out, I soon left thb town behind me. it was a line moonlight night, ani as it proit~iUsed to continue so, I dIe termined to take a short cut across thi countr'y, which I treckoned would savy a qunatert of an hour at the least. Thi r'oad would be very lonely for it wat a path that was seldomn used, but tha throubled me ilttle, for' my thought were corupany ernough~ that Oiyht.

A (tmt a considerable timu10spont ini soarcin g dutring which the frull hor'ror of thet situation began to dawn utpon me, at last (ldscovered a1 picc~Oo f woodwvori fixed in the eldo of the pit. This I eagerly g'rs pod and, rostin partially on it -with hall my body-ir the wvater', I begani to consider mn3 position. I knew at once the place into which: I had fallen, and as the kinowlodgi flashed rciross my mind I cursed .my self for 'aving been so careless- as te stumble oto It. It was an old, disuisedI shaft wi ch had been there for goner'a tions. No it many people were awart of its existence, for it was in a wild and solitaryaspot scarcely ecycr visited by anyone. I, however, had soon it several times in my moor'land wander-. ings, and had always regarded it as ii dangerous place. It was partiallly fenced r'ound, but I must have wander ed in through one of the gaps. Trhero was no footpath anywhere near It, so I must, In the darkiness, hatte lost my way. However, here I w as, and the (Iuestion confronted me how was I to geotouit? I tr'ied to discover I'it was posible to chimb out., but the sides of the pit off~ red nio hold of any kind, so I had to abandon that Idea. I nexct shouted in the hope that soo solitary wandierer might hoar my cries, but- no answ-ring voice was heard, tintil, after I had shouted my self hoarse, I was obliged to oink back in silence and despair. My heart sickened 'as I thodght of the loneliness of the placd, and how days, and eveia weeks might elapse before any one passed that way. I. struck out frantically round the pit to seek again for some means of escape, but my search was as fruitless as before. Despair took hold of me. I thought of Ada, of our approaching marriage, of the preparations which had been made, and the planb which had been formed. How bright the world had seemed ibut a few moments before, and how 'keenly I had anticipated its pleasure I And now it was all over. I must think no more of entering again the bright region above and sharing In the joys that awaited me. I was doomqd to die -to die a lonely, solitary, horrible death, and to lie in -a watery grave. As I hold on to my feeble support and thought 'of all this, my brain reeled within me, and I feared that my reason must give way. Death instead of marriage I What a contrast! Just when I ought to be leading my bride to the altar and stepping across the portal of married life, to lot go my liold here and aill into the cold, relentless arms of Death! And what of Ada then ? Surely she would sorr'ow, and grieve, and be disconso late. But .Horace Rishton I What of him? Might they not become wan and -But, no, the thought was tortur ing, and drove me in a fit of frenzy to shout again with all my might. But it was all in vain, for no one board. I-low the night passed I cannot tell, neither doI know bow the morning hours dragged on, for I was numb with cold, and faint with hunger and fatigue. I only know that after what secaned to me to be ages, footsteps drow near, and a v6ico called out from above: " Are you there, Fred ?" My heart, leaped into my mouth, and for a moment I was unable to utter a sound. At last I murmured, in a faint voice; "in llneaven's name, get me out! I'm dying." " (an you hold on another minuto ?" the voice asked. " I've got a ropo here. Keep up till I fasten it to this - stake. Can you slip a J001) round your - body, or shall I come down to you?" "Send the rope down, I'll manage to pass it round." I shouted eageriy. Iii another minuto it was dangling before ny eyes, and was soon passed uader amy armS ' aftr which I gave the word to draw up. Slowly I as conded, and at last emerged into the light and freedom of the upper air. As I lay, upon the ground-for my legs wero'iuseless to me-t looked at my deliverer, and wept for very joy at my release. It was iorace Rishton who had saved me, and if ever my heart went out to my rival, it was then. "I 'cannot sulliciently thank you," I began. " Give ine no thanks," he interupt ed harshly. " Thank Heaven instead. Heaven and hell have been lghLting over you, and Heaven has won. llut you little know how near you have been to denth." I looked up in wonderment at him, for his words were unintelligible to me le took no notice of my look, but contiauud : - " I guessed where you were, call it instinct or whatever you like.

I watched him wonderingly with a 'dazed mind, when all in a maoment, be C fore I could think or speak, he reeled, fell over, arnd toppled headlong into the pit from whenco h.c hand drawan ame, carrying the I'OpC with him. -H'fl's gone'" I shirlcked, iead eprinig -itg to my feete-for the numnbness left, mec for a maoment-l rushed to the mouth of the shaft crying frantically, "Ioaoi lorace !"

Rev. Thomas A. Hoyt, D.D., of Phil adelphia, has contributed the follow ing article to the Now York OWservor. Dr. Hoyt Is a native of Beech Island 01 S. C., and Just before the war ie was pastor of the Presbytorian church at Abbeville, S. C., so that ho is quito familiar with the history and chara- B terintics of the district described: a The district comprised within aci-cle - of a radius of sixty miles, the centre being near Augusta, Ga., and embrac ing counties in Georgia and South Car olina, is one of the most roImaILkable small areas in the union in respect of the number of national characte--s it has produced. hlero is whero miany of what are knownit as the great "Southern Questions" originated, or had tleirl ablest and most, earnest support or an tagonism, for it is nothworthy that both sides of the3e great questions havo always had powerful advocates. This district gave birth to "nulllli cation" and "secession." It has .fur nished the country one presidential candidato, four vice presidential can didates, two Speakers of Congress, four cabinet ministers, id several ;oreign ministers. And yet none of these men came from a town of more than 2,000j or 3,000 inhabitants ; nearly all calime from the country and the llantations; and the total population to-day, of all the counties, is only 189,000. It is doubtful whether any other territory I of as small s z3 and population in the Union can make so conspicuous a how ing. This is the dhtrict of John C. Cal houn1, who became Vice IIesident, See rotary of War, Secretary of State, and who was for years a great Senator of the tn ited Stattes. Andrew Jackson w ts bori juit outsile the l imits of this district, in South Carolna. William H. Craw ford, a candidat i for the Pres idency in 1811, came from this district. In the election Of that \ car', Crawford i r2ceived 11 electoral votes, Andrew Jackson 09. John Quiney Adams 8-4, and Ilenry Clay 37. 'hec election be ing thr'own into the llouse, Adams was chosen with the assistanco of Clay. craw ford wvas Senator and presideit pro tem. of the St-nate, Wias once See -etary of the rreasury and Minister to Prance. Herschel V. Johnson, who was on the electoral ticket with Douglass in 1860, I came from this distric't. Alexander 1I. Stephens. w ho opposed secession, yet b.-came Vice Prmesidlent of the Con federacy. and who enjoyed the respect of both North and Sonuth, was from this (district. -loweil Cobb, who was Speak er of the Ilouse, Secretary of the 'reas ury and 1'resident of the Confederato constitutional congires, was front this district.
