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?
What was that M iiic was sining to
the sweet-t onied guitar stie ield so dainl
tily, stral)ped inl phice with a bhle ri'b
anld?
'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

lie was loing lie had given upi the silent
rooms agin to a ('rietinias parfy. Buit

haps 31adbrook would never see him
again.
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.
Notwithstanidiig this plausible
thought, Leigh slippel ito th lie hoe
bound coach like a thief, taking tlie
coriner seat in the rear end of the car.
When Miss Suiierliele caime inl,

Somnething fr'oin nothing you cant't

t'eahtze the truth of' thlis~ trite sayintg in

arec to lay eggs, they must have sonme

his egg sutpply in the winter by carefu
stutdy of egg-prodlucing foods. Pronut

plies that element of animtal food 5<

the place of the bugs and worms whticl
the hents devour so greedily upon thi
range. Moreover, the bone suipplie
the mtineral matter needed for eg;
formation, the lime, the phosphate

egg food. Whin we consider hm~

and how little trouble it is to prepar

PROLIFICACY VERSUS PRODUC
TIVENESS.
Correspondence Cotton Plant.
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

iegrde(l as being exceediingly prolific,
but not Iecessarily prodluctive; or at

ITEMS OF? GENERAL INTERECST.
Quaint and Curious Paragraphs
Gathered fromi Various Sources.
-Tbo goodness of our intentions
never excuses the badness of our ac
tions.
-Small t1.nks of pure orygen, to be
used for resuscitating persons over
come by smoke or gas, have been sug
gested as part of the desirable equip
ment of hook-and-ladder trucks goin g
to fires.
-Mr. Louis S. Cohn, a Jew, has just
been elected Lord Mayor of L'verpool.
He has announced that he will accept
no public or other engagements which
would demand his time on Feiday
evenings or Saturdays.
--So vast is the sun that if it were a
hollow ball the moon could revolve in
the orbit which it now folows and still
be entireiv enclosed within the sun's
interior. For every acre on the sur
face of our globe there are more than
10,000 acres on the surface of thbe great
luminary.
-The manufactare of Christmas toys
is one of the youthful industries of the
United States, at loeat so far as dolls
are concerned. Several years ago
there were no doll factories on this
side of the ocean. Now thero are three
large ones, each doing a thriving
businees.
-The records of Rookbridge County,
Va., show that the Natural Brideo ivaa
once owned by Thomas Jefferson who
secured a "patent" for the property
on July 5, 1774, over the signature of
" Dun more, Lieutenant Governor of
thn Colony of Dominion of Virginia."
Jefferson devised the land to his
daughter, Martha Randolph, subject
to the payment of his debts, and she
sold'it in 1833.
-Some years ago thenson of A. Hal
berg, of Osago City, Kan, loft ho
and enlisted in the navy. Nothing was
heard from him until the wreck ofthe
Maine, when his name was found
among those of the dead. From that
time until last week his parents and
Ifriends mourned. Then came a letter
from the lad saying that he had never
been on the Maine, and that he was
alive and well.
-A dispatch from Niagara Falls
says that heavy rain is againg paring
off the Canadian cliff. A large mass
of rock from a point close to the Horse
falls dropped into the river that morn
ing. Table Rock is slowly but surely
becoming smaller. The upper end of
Goat island shows the wear made by
water aid marks of recer sion are plain
ly visible at the foot of the Atmerican
Horse Shoe falls.
-Seventeen yoars ago the govern
mont hogan the publication of the re
cords of the " Wairof Re~bellion." The
work has gone steadily on, including
the reports of battles and campaigns.
until it has become the most expensive
publIcation the government bas ever
undertaken. The cost of it is somo in
dioation of this. It has now reached
the sum of $2,800,000. The work Is
practically done, for thn ggports, dim
patches and orders whielf" chronicle
heacua history of the war have all
beprnted, and as a reference library
it s te mstcomplete that was ever
published in regard to any war the
world ever know. In all there are 111
volumes, and several more in the form
of addenda and index are yet to ap
pear.
