CHERRYCOTE. | : "And you expect me to travel ovei nine miles of muddy roads behind that beast ?nd in that rattle-trap?" a gentleman said, discontentedly surveying the ( conveyance provided lor him by an obliging countryman residing near the station \ of the Virginia railway where a way-train had recently deposited the stranger. , "Well, 'tain" as ef thar was much.to ( choose from, mister," was the answer. "If you've a mind to wait till evenin', the stnge mout happen along, liut, bless yore Soul, sah. o!e iiuck '11 carry you thar j ef you only give him time enough. An' I reckon the buugy won't break down 'tween this and the blacksmith's at the cross-road-t. Thars string an' rope an' a lot o' nails under the buttter-robe, an' little Ross here'll manage to mend -the damage ef so it be that tliar's a rock to ^ pick up 'long the roadside." ] "May I drive, boss?' was the liesitat iog p:ayer of little Poss (short for 'pos- , Bum), us the dilapidated vehicle, drawn by a spavined plow-hot se, got linully under way. Looking down with amusement at his excited petitioner, Barksdale saw a droll l'ttle negro, eostumcd in meal bags, hat es^, and with plaited twigs of wool, who, when the rope reins were relinquished into his hands, assumed the post of charioteer with dignity ineffable. Barksdnle forget Poss und everything besides, as the overmastering power of early association took possession of him. Ten years before, he had left the neighborhood through which they were now ] assing, at the outset of the war between tho States, and during all that time the history of its places and its people had ; been almost a sealed book to the wanderer in many lands. Ho had fancied himself weaned from his sentimental love > for old Virginia; but here he was craning his neck to look at the ancient landmarks, recalling rides ending at this point and picnics at another, his cheek flushing, and a lump coming into his throat, like the veriest school-boy home for the holidays. The country was beautifully erreej. und ns old Hunt along there whs nothing to do but resign ] himself to memory and anticipation, 1 * while the spring wind, laden with fragrance from the blossoming woods, blew over him refreshingly. ? At last Cherrycotc Farm was reached, but before they could enter it, little Poss jumped down to have a struggle with an 1 old red gate of such persistent inliospitality that Barksdale himself could only force it open by half lifting the gate post from the crumbling soil. 'Barren acres," he 6aid, with * sigh, glancing over what were once prosperous fields of grain. Grass grew on the roadway, and a multitude of little -blue star flowers were crashed beneath their wheels. Emerging from a bit of pine woods, be caught sight of the gables of the old house. They at least were unchanged, half veiled from sight by Virginia creeper and wisteria, jasmine 4ind roses. His old room was that one with 1 the window over which grew the branch of a mulberry-tree, its foliage so ihick that neither blind nor curtain was required. As Barksdale gazed he saw, coming from the shrubbery around a turn in i the roa:l, a cavalier bestriding a mule. This was amim seemingly between thirty and forty year.-! old, his once clear-cut fea luicau\cijjruwn wilii iiesn, una w?annga long brown bt-ard of liberal proportions. His frame, a trifle unwieldy, was muscular, his eyes were of an honest blue; his teat in the snddle, even thoutrh the steed was of the present unenviable class, admirable. His clothing consisted of h pair of corduroy breeches tucked into spurred cavalry boots, and a nondescript | shooting jacket laded by sun and rain, with a broad-brimmed hat of straw showing marks of home manufacture. At the first sight of Barksdale his brows knit inquiringly; in a moment he charged down upon the antique buggy with military da>-h. 1 'Lance, old fellow," he cried. "It isn't possible I" "Hal!" exclaimed the other, simul- 1 taneously, in a tone that meant much. Immediate lv two hands m?t in fprvf-nt friendship. Since these hands had | i grasped each other Inst a river of blood had flowed between them. Bitter words ' had been spoken, hot discussions hud i ruged, party strife had swelled resentfal ' hearts; but now, when the half-brothers i met again, neither thought of anything 1 but the early ties of blood and affectionate companionship. Barksdale, thin, -1 active, and embalmed with an atmos- ' phere of foreign travel, his clothe? scru- J pulously well cut, his speech refined to nicety, appeared at least five years ] younger than the bluff, sunburnt Virginia squire, who was, in reality, considerably his junior. They were the sons 1 of a Virginia gentlernau, who, left a 1 widower with one small boy when he ' was hardly out of college, had consigned 1 the little Lancelot to the care of his 1 mother's relatives in the North. Marry- 1 ing a second time in Virginia, Mr. Barksdale had settled down to apeaceful agri- 1 cultural existence on the estate belong- l ing to his bride, "one of the Carters of Cherrycote Farm," as that lady was ' styled. < Hither Lanceloc had come to spend many happy hours of irresponsible holi- ] dav in the free and easv life of nW.timp ? Virginia. Here he had learned to feel 1 a sincere affection for his kind step- 1 mother and her boy Hal. But at the 1 outset of the war his Northern training and sympathies in political faith set a < terrible stumbling-block in the path of i family "pleasantness." Unwilling to i contest the fervid torrent of secession talk, he at first kept silent. This led to ' suspicion, and finally to open warfare on i the part of the generous people who bad j once extended their arm9 to him. His 1 father had died, and the widow, an ar.1. J ? 7 . - - - - - aent ooutncrner, learned to look on bim < with constraint. Even Hal, merry, band- i ( some Hal, who bad adored tbe ground i Lance trod upon, began to quarrel with him. There was nothing for it but re- i - treat. Lancelot returned to bis Northern i borne, and soon beard the news that 1 Hal bad become a volunteer at Manassas. ] After that there was a long and painful i 'v 'r . " ' V x: ' ?ap in their relations. It -was white wandering- aimlessly around Europe ;en years later that Lancelot made lp his mind to return to America, ind to visit the home of his fathers, rhe resolution once taken was acted upon with almost fevorish zeal. Now that tie lind again shaken Hal's hand, had satisfied himself that the slim !ad of nineteen was still somewhere lurk' ig behird the veil of adipose matter surrounding the man of twenty-nine, Barksdale breathed a long sigh ot relief. As for the squire, he was one of those guileless Dauires content to ta?te tnings as mcy Qnd them. Bavksd ale's foreign airs excited in him wonder not unmixed with amusement. He fell to speculating over what the women would say to the coming of this importation of fastidious elegance into their impoverished household. In old times Cherrycote had never speculated; secure in homely plenty, it had simply flung wide open its doors and bidden the stranger in. "Suppose we walk the rest ot tne way," Barksdale said, springing with alacrity from hiS mouse-trap equipage. "I have bo much to say to you, Hal, I don't know where to begin." "I don't walk much nowadays; but still?" snid the squire, getting down in rather a breathless fashion, and leading the mule, followed by Poss and his srmvined steed, alonsr a road carpeted with pine tags and bordered with wild aoneysuckles. "I haven't asked you about your svifc," Lancelot said, when it appeared that the question could no longer in common courtesy be deferred. "Kitty? Why, she's splendid," said the squire, heartily. "And if you'll believe me, Lance, I've six young ones, all nrilO o rvl/1 Krtnon ?n no fn 11 i ui/ uui uuuog jo as lull its ever, but you'll find things down at the heel, L reckon. The same story everywhere hereabout: no money, po3r labor, no repairs; the l women struggling with inefficient servants, worn-out furniture, worn-out clothes. But Kitty's temper lon't wear out, thank God I You've not forgotten what a splendid girl 6he was, Lance?" UI have not forgotten her in the least," tiis brother answered, in a tone of slight constraint. Launcelot thought of the time when he had last seen Kitty Morris, then a youthful cousin of Mrs. Barkdale's, on a summer visit to Churrycote. She was standing in the deap grass of the old Drchard, under the cherry blossoms, in the spring of 'til. She was a mere slip of a girl then, with large dark eyes, ana a weight'Of dusky hair upon her small, proud head. He remembered the gown she wore, a sort of full-bodied, thin white stutf. with a sash of crimson, and the trick she had of interlacing her small brown Southern lingers while she talked. 'Never! never!" she had cried out, in nn A. 1.1- i-1. a - c 1! 1 mi jwi(itrnums iruuiu, liiu buunu oi Wilicn still echoed in his cars. 4'What I promised was not to an enemy of my country. I would rather die than marry you." She had f:\ced hhu bravely, defiantly, two red spots flaming in her ordinarily clear pale checks, but there was a tremble in her voice, as if she would have been glad to cry instead of speaking. Thus they had parted,and now Lancelot was again to meet, her as the wile of his hall-brother, the mother of Hal's six twirls. For a moment he felt 1 ke turn- i ing back upon the threshold of his visit, but after poor little vagabond Poss had bc-*n sent to the servants' quarters in rjuest of refreshment for man and beast, the two walkers struck into a well-remembered path across the orchard leading to the house. The berry blossoms were again in bloom, and there, under a preen arcade of snow-laden boughs, was Been a merry group of ladies aud children picking violets in the grass. Lancelot caught one glimpse of Kitty, recognizing her instantly.. From the girl of seventeen she had expanded into a splendid beauty of twenty-seven, lithe and brown as ever, with a rich color in her cheeks, not in the least suggesting a matron oppressed by many cares of maternity and house-keeping. Swarming overherwerea number of affectionate small girls, and at a little distance sat Mrs. Barksdale, the elder, looking thin and care-worn, engagt d in conversation with a lady whom he dimly recalled as another coutin of the by-gone days, then a coquetti>h personage with dimples,and wonderful plaits of hair worn in a crown I around her head. The dimples were I cflll ntri/Iorif aV%/>/.L*o I ty v * h (.TiUWUlj UUUU^Ii blio l/UUCIVO UUU faded, but the abundant braids were perceptibly thinner. Barksdale took in all these details, although he wondered at himself for observing them in face of the immediate powerful impression made on him by the first view of his sister-in-law. The color had receded from his face, leaving him deathly pale. The trial had been to the full as painful as he had expected. Often as it had presented itself to his imagination, the reality of suffering was not surpassed. Her face had shone upon mm iikc a star Irora Alpine heights, across wiirtery seas, in desert reaches, at the opera, in his dreams, on the pages of his books, .everywhere, anywhere, during ten long years of absolute non-intercourse. It was not until she had been his brother's wife for several years that he heard at nil of this marriage, seeming to him so extraordinarily incongruous and unsuitable. He oould not reconcile it with her appearance, her manner, her pretensions, now that he had seen her once again in the splendor of youn?r womanhood. ) He felt as if he could not bear to see liusb.ind and wife together, to hoar Hal's girls claim her as their mother. But Lancelot Barksdale had a noble nature I and a strong will. Resolutely he trampled out the fire that had so suddenly been kindled up within him. Kitty was no longer?it was long indeed since she had ceased to be?the sovereign of his dreams. This brief madness at an end, he -would be able to take her by the hand like a loyal and honorable gentleman as he was. At this moment in came Mrs. Barkstlale the cider. She had been told by the housemaid of the arrival of a guest, and, with the usual cordiality of her kind, hastened in to do the honors. "My dear Lance," she cried,after a momentary Burvev of extri?mn ??tnnicl?in<?nf "I om glad to welcome you onco more to Cherry cote." "If you knew how much those words convey to me I" returned Barksdnle, with real feeling, taking her thin old hands and kissing them. "I am alone in the world since my old aunt died, a year sgo, and the ties of early association ?eem more potent as we get on in life, I think. At any rate, I have fairly longed to make friends with you all igain, and such a welcome as you and ITal have extended to me lien's many a wound of time." "And I am far too old to indulge in rancor," said the old lady, tears coming into her eyes. "Now that our fearful war is over, I can regret tlie violence of feeling with which we went into it. Oh, Lance! I am glad your poor dear father was spared seeing his State conquered. I think it would have killed him. Hut let by-?ones he by-gonos. We must) agree not to talk about the war.

And those sweet cmidrenl Dear me! here I am forgetting that Kate wants you to come out to tho garden, Hal. She wishes to consult you about her flower beds. Don't tell lier Lancc is here for she has not the least idea who it is. The children said it was Mr. Lewis come to see their papa about the sheep. They have gone with their auntis to pick strawberries for tea, but you shall soon see them all. Lance, you must be taken to your room. But hero comes Hal again with Kate. Dear boy 1 he is so allectionute, and though you never knew her intimately, 1 believe, Kate knows you well by reputation." At this point, when good Mrs. Barksdale paused for breath in lier flow of cordial greeting, Lancelot felt his temples throb, and a sort of mist pass beforo his eyes. Through the op?n door of tho veranda Hal hurried, followed by a lady, and in a single brief and blissful moment Lancelot became aware of the fact that Hal's Kitty was not his own "bride oi old dreams, whose spell went with him still." In plain words, Mrs. Barksdal* the younger was the cousin with the dimples?also a Kate Morris?whose given name had long ago departed from Lancelot's recollection of the lady, had he ever thought of it, indeed. In thfl confusion of his ideas during the mo menta that followed thia discovery he ;was absorbed with a longing to satisfy himself at once about Kitty. ,4Tho only one worthv of that sweet old-fashioned name," he said, in his joyous heart, 101 lovers, as we know, glorify everything, even the homely nomenclature of ancestral day 8. She came in soon to answer for her self, the little girls, as before twining around her waist and clinging to liei skirts. "I wonder, Kitty dear, if you remembei mv oldest son. Lancelot." said cood Mrs Barksdale, with an accent of pride in hct presentation of the stranger. The evening sunlight- slanted through a western window of the okl oak-panelled dining-room. Lancelot stood witl his back to it, his face in shadow, but the searching radiance brought out even expression of her changed face nior< lovely than he remembered it. "You have not done me the honor to 1 ame the laxly," 1:? paid, taking hei hand in hR "Still Kitty Morris, though a grcntei belle than ever." cried hearty Hal. "It1? just occurred to ms\ Lat:ce, that you and Cousin Kitty used to be fnmous friends, till you quarreled about the war. What an idiot I was to forget it!" *I have forgotte'i nothing," said Lancelot, for the second time that day, and Kilty uuderstood him. ? l/arper\i Licumr. Adipose Tissue. Fatness, or stoutness, is still looselj mentioned as evidence of health, although everybody acquainted with ih< laws of hyciene knows that it is nnthino w Q of the kind. ''You're getting fat." is u common formof greeting intended to be complimentary: l>:it if it be true, it is seldom so regarded. Stout persons, particularly women, are very sensitive on the point, and would be glad to forget it, not to l e continunlly reminded of it. Tlxey are but too well aware of the inconvenience, awkwnrdness and discomfort of the condilion to be pleased by any reference thereto. Js'ot only this, any excess of lle>h is a sign of disease, if not disease itself. It it,' altogether preferable, on every account, to be thin rather than fat, to have too little rather thun too much avoirdupois. Stoutness, although not so called, is unquestionably a misfortune. Everybody that is stout wishes to be otherwise, and many that are stout are trying various ways to reduce them selves. A man of ordinary height and build who wnirrhn 9.(10 unnnrlo irniinrnll.. ~1. 0 ~ , "figua more thuu hu ought to, and is made conscious of it in divers ways. Thero are exceptions ; but such is the rule. One of the extraordinnry exceptions, as reported, was the noted Daniel Lambert. In youth he was very strong, excellent in athletic exercises, and gave no indications of corpulence. But, before twenty, he began to increase rapidly in size, which ho ascribed to sedentary habits as keeper of tho prison in Leicester. At twenty-three, when he weighed 448 pounds, he walked from Woolwich to London with little fatigue. He excited so much curiosity that he decided to exhibit itself, and he drew crowds in the chief cities of Kngland. He was live feet eleven inches high, measured nine feet four inches about the body, more than three feet around the leg, and weighed at his death, which occurred at thirtv-nir?f> 7an pounds. No doubt his immense bulk was due to some organic disease, which nn autopsy would have disclosed. Pathology was not nearly so well understood seventy years ago as it is now. It is preposterous to suppose that any man of so extraordinary accumulation of flesh could have been in good health. If a very stout man were healthy, the fact of his stoutness would, after a while, bo very likely to cause some physical disorder.? New York Commercial. \ TIio Terrapin and the Tailor.

The season lasts until October, and we get the crabs all along 1 the coast, from North Carolina to Mon' tauk Point. The price? are lower than ; ever before, nnd there is scarcely any money in them for the dealer. AVe sell ' them for $1 a dozen, and twenty-fivo to r thirty per cent, die on the way here, while we have to pay sixty cents a dozen when they are bought at the catching i place, and besides must puy freight ^ charges. There are some curious fea> tures about shedders that people gener: ally don't know much about. For instance, tak-e one that measures three and ' a hnlf inches from tip to tip w.th the ^ shell on; as soon as the shell falls off the crab will begiu to grow, and by the end or the season it is eight or nine inches long. The shell opens gradually, bo r that the crab can creep out. The crab is then found to be covered with a soft skin, which quickly becomes very tough. ; This is what makes it excellent for bait. i as it holds the hook firmly. Many acres i of low water land are taken up by proi duccrs f?xr the exclusive raising of crabs. Wo keep the shedders in floats and the > hard-shell crabs in what we call pounds, i 'I he floats are shallow boxes, kept just under the water, and the pounds are 'large spaces of low water land fenced in witli galvanized iron latticed fences. Some of thesn pounds are three and four acres -each and surrounded by f< nces 1,200 to 1,500 feet long. "NVe feed them small fish caught by fishermen in their seine*, and useless to them. One of our great annoyances is trom crab thieves. So great has this become that wo have had to build barbed wire fences 'around our floats, with gates that are kept locked. The?e fences extend four and five feet above tide water." The first printing done in America was in the City of Mexico in 1539.

We have so often seen fatal results follow the declaration that it can be cured, that wo have unconsciously settled down in the belief that this disease must necessarily prove fatal. It is true that occasionally a community has witnessed an isolated ca&e of what may appropriately t>e termed spontaneous recov- ; ery, but to what combination of favorable 1 circumstances this result was duo none have i hitherto been found able to determine. We have now the gratifying fact to an-I nounce that the process by which nature effects this wonderful cuange is no longer a , mystery to vhe medicai profession, and that the changes brouhgt about in the system un- j der favorable circumstances by extrinsic | causes may Ik? made as certainly and mure ; exjieditiouslj' by the use of the pro|>er remedy. ! In other words, nature is imitated and assisted. Tuberculous matter is nothing more or less than nourishment imperfectly organized. Now, if we cnn procure the organization of this rood material so that through the pro- i cess of elective afiinity it may take its place | hi luuMMviii, wis i-fiii uure me disease. mis is just what liso's Cure f<ir Consumption ] does. It arrests at once the progress of the disease by preventing the further supply of tuberculous matter, for while the system is under its influence all nourishment is organized ami assimilated. It thus controls cough, expectoration, night-sweats, hectic fever, and ail othor characteristic symtoms of Con sumption. Many physicians are now using this medicine, and all write that it comes fully up to its recommendations and makes Consumption one of the diseases they can readily cure. The forming stage of a disease is always the most auspicious for treatment. This fact should induce persons to resort to the use of Piso's Cure when the cough is llrst noticed, whether it has a consumptive diathesis for its cause or not, for this remedy cures all kinds of coughs with unequaled facility and promptness. In coughs from a simple cold, two or three doses of the inedicince have been found sufficient to remove the trouble. So in all diseases of the throat and lungs, with symptoms simulating those of Consumption, Piso's Cure is the only infallible remedy. The following letter recommending Piso's Cure for Consumption, is a fair sample of tho certificates received daily by the proprietor of this medicine: Albio.v, N. Y., Dec. 29, 1SS5.
