All the summer be bad idled awny in lier company?hers and Boso Nurroway's; and be was couscious tbat neither of tlie girls could guess which ho liked tho best; or, iudeed, whether thcro was any moro than simple, friendly liking in tho matter; at least, (ins hoped ho. Ho hoped that ho had not niado love to both. lint then (Jtin was conscious enough of his powers of fascination, nud both wero so pretty, so sweet, so lovable. Only at last lie knew for certain that he loved Hetty. This was what he had to say ; this was what ho could not sav, because bo could never lied Hetty alone, Now ho hail come for flic last time, and ha<l bent over Hetty, and softly wliispered : "Come out upon tlio porch with mo, Miss Renter, won't you?' And Hetty had said: "Come, Rose," and he had mentally ejaculated, "Confound liose,' and hud sauntered out as amiably and gallantly as though the nrruugemout delighted him. No chance all the evening, not one. At last, as the clock struck ten, (Jus grew desperate, lie sauntered to the mantel, and with his pencil scribbled a few lines on a leaf of his pocketbook, and looking about hir.i, saw Hi t ty's gloves lying on a table. He l?Ue\v them to ho Hetty's, for her color was lavender; li fe's always lemon, j I'v and bv. no one looking that wav. i lie slipped his hit of paper into tLe paiui t)t" tin) right-hand glove, and rolled the left over it.

I've gut them ? lint shawl and gloves. Good-by all.'' But Iletty walked to the garden *ate with her, and watched her ti ip Iowa the latie in the moonlight. She danl there listening to the cricket's chirp, and looking at the moon. "Ho'a so nice," sho sighed, "a:. I perhaps we may never sc? him again. | 1 wonder ' lint she did not say what she wondered, At last she went in. A lump was 1st. The big Bible wu.i open. "W i are waiting prnyern for yon," , said old Captain Bonier, a little stern- ' ly. The mother tossed her a pair of glOVvH. "Hither Rose lias worn yours or mine," siio said. "Those are hers."

Aud so, going with her husband to New York, Hose ? now Mrn. Mailer? saw autl heard of him. She was very happy and shu knew that Hetty was less blest than shc?. Mho was not j really bud?and her heart smote her. 1 Hud she parted two true lovers ! Then she assured herself that (tus would | have followed up tho thing had he really loved Hetty, and that lietty | never cared for <?us. And so went home. Her lirst guest wns Hetty Homer. Hose never mentioned (his ; but licr j | husband, blandly ignorant, of ull,burst out with a full account of him forthwith "A fellow who left hero without a penny rolling in gold ? living like what's hidnatue iu the Arabian Nights, ' i you know?and as splendid a man us I ever saw. Hates women, though. I Has a house full of men servants ami j a cook from 1'aris " And so rattled ou, never heeding Hetty's pale face, though It iso nuv it. Soon Hetty, who had dome for a visit, escaped to her own room; but Rose followed. She found Hetty in tears, ami took her in her arms. "Toll mo nil, my dear," she said. And Hetty made confession. "It is so foolish. I was only 17 i then; but ? but f loved hire, and I never have forgotten him. That is why J never eon Id think of anyone' else, Ko.se. No one knows it, not even nian.iL i.

Just for one moment Rose thought of telling the truth, lbit caution overcame impulse. "Strange things happen in this world," she said. "Who knows? You are both young still. (rooil-night, lo vr !

She copied the note in Lack-hand, a idressotl it to Augustus Varioy, and the next niornirig she posted it. Throe days after, (his came down to th? village and wont to boo Hetty. What they said, we can only guess hy the fact that, at parting, ho kissed her. lie had spoken just once of the past. '"You remember the night of my departure?" ' 'Ye-.'' she said.

Homo oiio has said also that a launch is the most delicate part of tin; ship builder's work. It is very dillicult to say wlmt is the most delicate part of ship building, for the simple reason that there doesn't seem to beany part of it that isn't delicate. No more complex machinery is made than the woudcrful . marine engine , no more carefully do- i sigucd structure exists than the sail of of a modern steamship. A launch ia as much a matter of mathematics as any part of the work of budding a ship,and perhaps it is because launches arc always inspiring that they have : been called the crowning occasions of j ship building. It is only since the United States ; began to build a new navy that we j have had launches of largo vessels 111 i this* country.

They saw the picture-quo side of each of these events. They saw the foam as tin; christening bottle <>t wine was broken upon the bow. They heard the cheers and shouts ami helped to make them.

JUDGE SIMONTON DISMISSES THE DUNBAR ( ASK The Text of the Decision Showing th? K?>uitoii Why tli? Court Thrown the Contempt Prof-codlngH Out. While Judge Kimonton filed one decision against the State iu a liquor cane of uote Monday, ho rIho filed ouo in favor of the state. He has dismissed the Duubur-llunkin contempt ease brought by l>r. I'ope. The ciiho was heard some weeks ago in the Uuited States court. Dunbar hud some liquor seized by Constable Hankie and he brought suit against hun for $028.92 damages. Commissioner Mixsou being made a party to the suit. The decision reads as follows, being signed by both Judges Simonton and Jlrawley : The demurrer to the complaint sets forth the following grounds : First. That as it appears on the face oi the complaint, this court has no jurisdiction of the matters and things forming the subject of this action. Second. That as it nppcrrs upon the face thereof, the coinpluiut does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. According to the code of South Carolina these two objections may be taken by way of oral demurrer at tho trial of the cause. Code, section 1(59. ' Indeed, the first objection must bo taken by the court itself suo motu if it appears on an inspection of tho 1 coord."' A number of citations arc made by Judge Simontou of cases similar t > this contempt case. Iu this complaint the entire amount claimed as damages by plaintiff in$028,92. The learned counsel for plaintifl says imigo rsimonton reeognizeii tins. They seek to sustain the jurisdiction of the court upon the grouud that the action is brought under act of congress of July-, IKiK). "to protect t rude and commerce against uuhiwful restraint nud monopolies." This act gi\es this court jurisdiction without regard to the amount iu controversy ovcj matters forbidden by the act. Section 7 of this act give? a right of action to any person who shall bo injured iu his business or propel ty by any other person or corporation by reason of anything forbidden or declared to be unlawful by the act. In the tirst, second and third sections, the act declares what is forbidden in it. Every contract combination in the form of a trust or otherwise, or conspiracy in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States or with foreign nations, is declared illegal. Every person who shall monopolize or attempt to monopolize or combine or conspire with any other person or persons to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce iu any territory or the district of Columbia, or in restraint ?>f triub between such territory and auother, or the District of Columbia or foreign nations, is do clarcd to bo an illegal act. From the terms of this act it will be seen that it forbids any individual either bv himself t< monopolize or combine, contract or conspire with any other person to monopolize any part of the interstate <?r foreign eommeree. This is the essent ial feature of the act The action being on the statute the cause of action must set out something forbidden in the statute. The cause of action set forth in this complaint is the seizure by Kankiu, in transit, of a barrel of beer shipped to tin- plaintiff for his personal use by a merchant from Kiehmond to Newberry, without any pretense of ownership or claim of interest in or lien upon the said barrel of beer, but sob lv by virtue of some pretended authority to confiscate spirituous, malt or vinous liquors consigned to j rivate persons in South ('arolina. That lluukin after the seizure had the barrel sent to the defendant, Mixson, and that Mixoti received and presumably continues to hold the same, knowing it to be property ol plaintitV, bought by him in the State of Virginia, ami sent to him by a public carrier. Nothing whatever is said about any monopoly by defendant of any trade, interstate or foreign. The < nly charge is that he claims a protended authority to confiscate liquors consigned to private parties in South Carolina, It is not alleged thill llunkin is i:i n?v trade or business whatsoever. Nothing whatever is sunl of any conspiracy or contract or combination between Kankin ami his eodefendant Mixsoii or any other person or persona w hoinsoever to monopolize any foreign or domestic trade. The complaint is silent even as to my precousent between them leading to the Kci/.uro of this barrel. The most natural inference from the language used in the complaint is that Mixson, alter the seizure, received and now holds the beer. The essential re (piisites of a cause* of action under tin statute do not appear in tic complaint. It cannot he sustained under the statute a1.11 so is not within tiie jurisdictioi; of this court So far as the statciucub of tin? complaint go, they disclose an invasion of a common law right, which would call for a remedy at common law. Because of the amount involved, as t.ite I in the complaint, this court eoiil.I not take jurisdiction of this inv.i.-uoii <>f a common law right. In order to enable the plaintil) to sue under the statute there must lie a radical ehuige in the allegations of his comp! tint, and an entirely new ami di -tinet e.ei: e of action must he set forth, tin ler the practice in South ('arolinu such art amendment is not permitted. The demurrer is sustained, the cause not being within tlio jurisdiction of thin court. and the complaint is dismissed with costs. 'I'iiiit'N Itcttcr. Wo believe wirut. the Yorkville correspondent ol the News & Courier says 1 nhout York county can he truthfully said about every county iu tbe .State: There is less crumbling und com plaining by the farmers in this section ' on nccouut hard times this fall than ever heard before, not extopting tho years when they received 15 and 18 cents for their eotton, and made largo crops of it. They seem to have more , cash than ever before, ami ore able to buy aud pay for what they need, and have also paid their store accounts lor the year, which was very small, and ( have paid some old debts. They seem at hiHt to thoroughly understand that the living at home policy which was forced on them two or three years ugo by their inability to furnish the supply men with a satisfactory basis of credit, is responsible for their present condition, and the outlook is that tho farmers of Yorkville will not soon forget the lesson for which they have been puyiug so dearly during tho p?.st twenty-live years, aud will continue to raise corn wheat, oats, molasses, potatoes, hogs, etc, in future regardless of tho price of cotton.
