OVER A OABIDJ TABLE.
COXTJXUKI) FROM I.AST WEKK,
' "Amy, living included i with her old
domestic, Betsy- Floyd, was ignorant of
the nfl'uv at the lank. She knitted
worsted work, and .lit ted hall-dresses for
her seh< olmates of old days. Young
Skiunom ci:'. i\ d her what he' called hfg

WotdH h:rvecome .forward for her hand,
but there \yas something in her way that

offer it. BUinnom thought his iiiagnan
imity twenly per cent, abovo par. lie
had inherited from bis father trc mo;'l
g'nge on the Yfoodson' hoim stead", which
he thretitened to foreclose. Troubles
came in troops.
"Lookiiiy .over her. father's papecs one
day, Amy disfcov'crecl ? note adtlrcsscd t<>
her.' it was in the mat band of the
general. It told her that lie wrote this
for her in ea.-e anything should happen
to him?that the wo*Id, after ho was
gone, might judge lnni amiss. That he
had, it :.; true, wronged her, his sAveet,
beloved dfuightcr; that ho had been
false to \m trusteeship ; that their tr.e^a,
were all gone with the broken land bub
ble?that his heart and thought were
long s'nk with tho sect et of it; that,
May tho 10th of such a year, he bad
found his cash unaccountably short, and
no man yet knew it. If he lived long
enough he should male it up; yes,
make it up, cverV 'coin ; but Amy must
wait, for hers; perhaps he could never
make that up, and if he did not, would
his thirling daughter forgive him?
"Amy bowed beneath this blow.
Now appeared the reason of the un
paid bills and the ill-supplied household.
And tHe thought eumc to the stricken
girl, bow once she had proposed lb sell
a share of her bank stock and buy a
gold watch and chain, and on New Year's
morning she found them under her
breakfast cup, a present from her fath
er. I get all this from sister Nell, of
whom she made a confident. Yes, Hal,
Amy bowed as the lily bows when
blown upon. She was lily without and
rock within. She .-out for Roy Elwcll.
She pressed Roy until she drew from
the reluctant fellow the affair as viewed
by the directors. It, was a plain ea?? to
them. A land enterprise?an opportu
nity for making money?and the cashier
yielding to temptation, borrowed the
funds of the bank, thinking to enrich
Himself/ and return the money. They
were till the more ready to look on the
dark tide lor him, as many of their dol
lars had gono the way of his. The fever
laid been Among them, too.
"This point of vfrw was not plain to
{?.my. Through Elwcll, who had been
cashier after the death of tho general,
she obtained permission from the officers,
to make a personal examination of the
books, to be aided by Roy! Her knowl
edge of bank- routine was now scrviccoj?
wo. ,ihmhAi;<;.>,
" A brilfc fi^o I returned* frbrnmuji
India voyage. . I served as a boy in.the?
hank'awhiie, you 'remember, and Roy^
with her consent, invited me to lendjtheraj
a hand. I was glad 'for her snke.^not to]
say my own.
"Hal, arc you yawning ?" I'

Hal, you ought to hove seen the \(jBk
Her perceptions were all ..^quiekeniftT^?
pride.and'love for tho honor of tho olej*
man. The theory of the djreelur .
was not:tlie theory of the daughter. Sh/
admittdd nothing but the existence of?a!l^
6rro'r that might yet be revealed, Rpv
and I followed her with a low assetir
We began.' We turned to that May. ilr
1 Oth, which he mentioned in the note
and named in the night of his speechless
ness. We took the iifst entry of lhc(d?>^
posits ; wc analyzed it. If bills, it wai^
rTOt po noted: if checks, we followed tlioni
to their jiunl .entry. And so through
civcjh,and alj. ^A.iyv surprised us by h. ?
tltorough'ness. Item?; that Roy and I "wen
willing to Cheek, as boing(cOrrect beyond
question, she looked to again and again
before dismissing. The general had beea
? l| fa]
too much harroY.ed by the trouble to
. make any systematic analysis of that day f
traso?tioy at the time. Who' know.? b;i.
tho errors, if one, would have been demo
ted had be called his?qu.icker eyed daugra
lor into his confidence ?
"We finally arrived at the end of the-.
day's laboV, and summing up the figure^!
wc found the balance on hand was t.\..
thousand dollar t less than the amour!
required. Here now was a chance i
Speculation. What became of'tho Eiu'q*
Amy was not long in deciding thai, i
equivalent had been mislaid?semi. ch*e&
m.isplaeed: but this was merely guest*
"Her proposition) at the" next meciinjf
was to search throughly the papers in the
safe. Not succeeding . there, books and
papers in the vault were taken, one by
one anil turned, leaf by leaf. Thorough ?
I think so. It was a blow, laborious pro
cess. Her patience wa? astontshiug.
Her glaneo seenu.d as though 'twould
burn the papers it fell on. But they
could not reveal a sec'?|et not in there
keeping.
lAVhere was the was to paper put ? In
a basket. And emptied where? Roy
couldn't say- The,old woman who swept
Ih'iM'ofifns was called. She emptied it,
when ftift into the dark closet. Some
times when out of shavings' she used a
littlo ?l" i\ to start the fire. Amy turned
pale. The search among the contents'of
the i !o?ct was assigned for the next day.
Was it narrows! to this, the chance 'of
Hading a valuable paper in the rubbish?
She .would htivo had more heart, but for
the knowledge of those occasional hand
fids taken for kindling. Pic'co by piece
we. went through tins nccnntulated heap
of dusty, gbiic-hy papers, and without
success..
"Boy and I had not foreseen the end?
failure. Wc didn't anticipate having t:>
see that noble girl sit down disconsolate
with the tears falling upoii her fallen
hands. By Jove, 1 wouldn't have begun
the worlc. It was joy for mo to labor
with her all the way, but when that la
bor W"s brought to tho bitter tnhv*-f-t?
see hope go out of her heart by her
blessed blue eyes! liny attended* her
homo.
j ''The next day he and I were seated in
the bank, talking over tho lifiair. "Roy,'
said J, 'the Borneo, Charlie T/.tno, is due,
can't we see, from the skylight in the
garret if she is in tho bay?'
lie proposed going up to sec. Roy
went ahead and opened tho 'skylight'!
The place was dusty as a grave, and just
au jolly. Thqrc was no Borneo in sight
Account books and bundles' of papers lay
here and there with dust; upon them near
ly an inch deep. And over those things,
that had one'day a meaning and a value
and neither now, the spider had woven
their home?, and were having turn their
littlo cares. We looked about us curi
ously. Roy remarking a book on top
ritfnpilo, loss dusty than the others:
proposed to mo to take it down stairs as
a curiosity. J uhj, The skyBght was
lowered,' and the funbonm?/that;)ind ynu
<iiiicd as ;wo: opened, the light came back
again and Jay rath wart, .one another* like

The writjijg. was neatness, itself. " KHV^ly'

Occasionally there"remained an unbalan

4enal we imagined a history for this

?married a . wife ; that he had left the.

While we were laughing over this,
the doer softly opened, and Amy "Wood

''twas'tho gho.'.t of tho said Jones.
?;J;*\?>ho^vishcd':agaiii to see the book con-'
itaining those entries of the 1 Olh of May.
Roy brought it, Amy sat at one side of
the table; F-lweJl and I at the other. She
pored over 'the page, as her father had,
douh:le.-.\ done before'her, with dreamy,
misty eyes. We mentioned the reason
o:' our mirth. 1 took the hook, care-'
Testily, and opened it, Roy mid Amy lock

can blow that away. There, staring
us ail iu the face, were two one thousand
dollar bank bills. I swear I saw joy
go into her eyes. It was pretty clear to
her. There was fresh writing on the
credit side of an account. The old
general had had the book from the gar
ret irid upon his table that 10th of May.
Exchanging tho bills, tor some customer,.,
he bad'laid them on the open book and
ab'sefctly closed it. It was then returned
to Jts old. place iu the garret. His mind
being distracted by his pecuniary troubled
the transaction ol the billsJttid mado no

theory. Amy bad dreamed, singularly,
that tho was greatly comforted by a bou!:
and this was the reason of her coniin?

''And j unsay Amy married Roy."
'Ay ay; and their boy they've named

seemed to demand an explanation. The
little man was silent, but he gave me a
look which said plainly enough, what i.
human justice to me, or injustice?

Origli* *?f the Ripe Mill.
DoRuw's Review lor September gives
the following singular account of the first
npplicajujon of machinery to the cl.anijtg
of rice. It appears that from the time of
tile introduction of rice ('own to the close
'Of tin* revolution, the grain was cleaned
by bond and animal power. Rut so tedi
ous was the process and so destructive
and cxhnustirfg upon both man and beast,
tjiat a good crop was rath'er regarded as '
an equivocal blessing, f r the greater tho
product the greater of .course, the labor of
preparing it for market. The account
then proceeds:
"W'ulo matters stood thus, the planters
were relieved by a circumstance, so curi
ous that it deserves a place in the history .
6? hnnuin inventions.. A planter from tho
Santee, while walking iii King street,
Charleston,.[noticed a, small wind-mill
perched upon the gable end of a wooden
house Iiis attention was attracted by the
beauty of its performance He entered a
store aud asked who the maker was; ho
was told that he was a Northumbrian,
then resident in the ho'.e-e/ io necessitous
circumstances, and wanting employmenti'
A eonferance was held, tho planter carri
ed the machinist to Santce, pointed out
the difficulties under which the" planters
til ?ored, and the result was the Rice
Pounding-Mill. This man was Mr. Lu
cas, and to his geniousdothe Carolinians
t)\v;e a large debt of.gratitude; for what the
cotton planter owes to Eli Whitney, the
rice planter owes to Lucas" His mills
were lirSt impelled by water, but more
'r?cen ly by steam, and though much
mechanical ingenuity and capital have
bcoii expended in improving them, the
Rico bounding Mills of this day, in all
essential particulars, do not differ from
the mill as it came from his hands"
We are informed that two of the great
"grand-sons of this illustrious mechanic
(one off them a member of th? bar, Ed
ward Cantwell, Esq.) are among the cit
izens of Wilmington in this State. It
was just about half a century before the
erection of the mill upon Santee, that
Miss Eliza Lucas (afterwards wifo of
(jhArles and mealier of Gen. Chas. Cotcs
v.ortb Pinckney of the Revolution)
planted the first Indigo seed which, ac
cording to Ramsay, ever ripened in
South Carolina. In 1783 there were ex
ported 20?1 casks, but about the begin
ning of the ninbtb^nth century it gave
place ns ft staple to inc. cultivation of cot

A Detroit boy knocked at the door
and carelessly inquired of tho man of
the bouse: "Are you going to move
today." "Xo," is the answer. "I'll
bet j}25 you are," responds the boy.
"Why, you impudent dog?" "Cos, your
roof's a blazing," screams the adolescent
rascal* ns he runs for life; ai.d it was
true.
"Why. Bridget," said her mistress who
Wished to rally the girl for tho amuse
ment of the company, upon the fantastic
ornament of a large pie, "did you do
this? you're quite an artist ; how did you
do it?" "Ir.dmle, mum, it was myself

pritty, mum? I did it with your false
teeth, mum.V
