The People's Journal. PICKENS S. C. ONE NEW YEAR's EVE. Thle swish of a blue dress, a faint breath of violets, as in passing, and he felt rather than saw Marie Summer fild go by. Standing a little apart from the knots of merry young people thronging Ile pleasant rooms, he was coisciouis of a thread of pain running through the last night of the old year, touching only Miss Summerfield and himself. By he, I mean Leigh Reyburn, the owner of the old fashioned, low-roomed grange beneath whose roof the young people of Gladbrook had gathered to keep a merry watchnight. With music and laughter and gay repartee they meant to dance a welcome to the joyous New Year without much thought for the staid old twelve-month which had served them so faithfully. But Leigh moved uneasily, sending imploring glances after the blue grown, all to no purpose. Marie was absorbed with the fascinating company of Mal rice Davenport, and was smiling her sweetest-and Marie could smile di vinely.-and entertaining him mimira bly. Reyburn was imking hard, and, it must be confessed, uncharitably. lad he worshiped and petted and lived for Miss Stii meriln-'d these two blessed sun1lit years, o have 11011 and hap ness go into the ganve of tlie frail ol year leaving nothing but memories?

't'ing out the old, ring in the new: The year is dying, let it go; Ring in the new; ring inl the new." H1er voice seemed to falter a littie on the repeat as it tell to a St ent adteince. Was it possible sIt was tIhinking of the old so tenderly--t lie old love, for inl stance? Ah! well he0 did not know. The yule log had burned out a week ago, but he had not Ile heart to take up thte silv' ry ashes from tl e ltI, red brick hearth . as yet. l ver since that other night he hat kept his vow amtI closed his doors to all inei111it.hni Itot two long years.

At Rockland he had only a few minl utes to wait between trails, and already the home-bound one was waiting on a side-track. Purchasing his ticket, he enseonced himself where he could plainly sOC the passengers leave the cross-trinfl. "Now for the bridal party, at least the bride and groom," he said, trying to be jocular with himself although his face wts very white and his mouth twitched nervously. At the cry "train, train," everybody began to bustle about. Friends, bag gage anld good-byes were mixed u) in discriminatiely, but Leigh wias very still. Ile could hear his anxious heart beat out its suspense in great suftocating leaps, as the fateful ttain thundered in. Sure enough, there was Miss Su n nertield; and the line-looking young man who helped her alight also took charge of her baggage. Heaven have ierc I Were gossip and Joe Antrim right, after all? lut pshaw I any chivalrous fellow traveler would have done as mueh.

Although the terms, prolific and pro(luctive, have both been deIllned as nianing fruitful, it by no menns fol lows Ihatt they are to be regarded as synonyoliOls, meaning one and the same thing, or that they are inter. chlnIgelble, the one with the other. In the case of vegetation in general, ai plant, may be exceedingly prolille, without being what tay be justly ter med productive while on the other hand, it plant may be enormously pro ductive withouit being exceptionilly prolific. This lifference is plainly exempli lied in the case of pop-orni 1111d the So ciled seven-ear corn, which ntay be iegrde(l as being exceediingly prolific, but not Iecessarily prodluctive; or at least not so much so as other adil lar ger varieties ; while such variet ics as Welborn's Conscience, Kenituckyi amm111oth, Chiester County Motonoth an11d matny otheri equally large varitties, arI*e enloriotusly pro(uctive, yet 'couil hardly be teried prolilic.
