Better than ever land Charlie can visit
you as if his visits were intended for Eva :
said Marltop.
Therefore, you need not go to AbbeVille
at all but you must keep heselittle plans
of ours as a secret, said Ida.
sWe now understand each other, Miss
Ida, said Marlton; and, therefore, Ishall not
trespass upon your time and patience any
longer. I must now leave you for about a
week but as soon as Miss Eva arrives, please
write to me at Spartanburg, and will i'm

So saying Marlton suatched a kiss from
Ida's flushed cheek-for we can easily kiss
those whom we do not tlove particularly, dear
reader-and hastily left the room:

hands together, and stroked his beard, with
an expression of the;keenest satisfaction and
delight. >
'Upcle,' said Ida, who that moment eu~
tered the room, will you allow me to write
an invitation to Eva Thornwell, to spend q
month with me?'
Certainly, my child; you will need some
female friend just now to assist you in making
some necessary arrangements for the forth
coming event-certainly! said Undertook
the insinuating wretch

Ida, smiling.
Yes, my DEAR said Underdonk, looking
wise.
Ida could contain herself no longer 80
she left the oldman, ran up stairs, and burst
into 6t'of laughter
sForthcoming euent, indeed! said Ida,
as she seated herself beside the window, and
watched the old man as he hastily left the
house with letter in his hand. Il do be.

:Underdonk acts very foolishly, my dear read,

B@ When a man finds great deal Of
fault with newspaper which he never fails
to read, it is sign that he has not paid for
it. People seldom pick flaws in their own
property. When young lady signifies her
intention to devote the remainder Of her
days to taking care of 'the old folks at home,'
it is sign that she would rather not, but is
preparing to make virtue Of necessity
When a young gentleman begins to pay
marked attention to his legs and neither ex-
tremities, it is sign that he is 'shaky at the
other end. The calf is more than the man.
When the mother of six unwedded daught-
ers sregrets that the time will come when
the dear things must be parted it is sign
that she would like to 60 into mourning on
that account.

SMOKE FOR WouNDs.-A correspondent
Of the Country Gentleman mentions the case
Of horse, which was just ready to die Of an
old and festered wound. Fortunately, he
adds, at this stage of the case, an old Penn
sylvania teamster came to our relief and re-
commended smoking with old shoes A
smoke was made of old shoes, soles and all
cut in pieces, in hog-trough, and placed
under the swollen parts. In few hours the
swelling wholly subsided, and the sore com
menced discbarging matter; the horse was
saved.
Some years after this, I heard two persons
talking about horse which had been gored
in the abdomen. In this case everything
had been tried in vain the poor creature
must die. At mysuggesion he was smoked,
and when I next heard from him the old
horse was well. So much for old wounds.
In the same year I cut my foot with an
axe. The lady of the house, seizing the
foot while it was yet bleeding freely; held it
over pan containing smoking tag.locks.-
In few minutes the bleeding stopped, and
the smoke was removed, and bandage ap.
piled to protect it from accidental blows
The wound mever maturated, and conse-
quently neser panied me. Ihave seen this
remedy tried iu many similar cases, aad al
ways with the same results. Let the reader
bear in mind that no liniment or salve, draw
ing or healing should be applied; you have
merely to smoke the wound well, and nature
will do the rest .
I suppose the smoke of burning wood
would produce the same results, but it would
not be 80 manageable. There is principle
in the smoke of wood, which, when applied
to the flesh, coagulates the albumen, thus
rendering it unsusceptible of putrefaction.-
The same principle stops bleeding by coagu-
lating the blood. 1t promotes healing, and
may be applied with decided benefit to al.
most all ulcers, wounds, and cutaneous dis
eases. See Turner's Chemistry, by Liebig
and Gregory, p. 1912.
For ohapped hands and lips, molasses is
the best remedy ever used. If my COWS have
sore teats, or an OK chafes the outer skin so
as to occasion the blood to start, Iapply mo-
lasses. s.-C0untr.y Gentleman.

- BY J. FORREST GowAN.
&" limitation Of Lengfelow-l !
Kiss me nov, beneath the starlight,
Meath the starlight with each other,
While the dew-drOp stumbets sweetly
'Pon the bosom of the roses.
Kiss me now while lunar beauty
Breaks upon US Ger the mountain
Der the mountain sleeping sweetly
Gains, the star gem'd heavns around us.
Kiss me now, while every flowers
Ewes are bound In links of dewdrops,
And the songsters of the wildwood
slumbers meath the wing of evening.
Place your hand upon my shoulder,
Let my arm your waist encirele,
Gently part your silken tresses,
Turn your angel face toward me-
So. now let y moonbeam,, softly
Linger 'poa thy brow moment
And an unstained dew drop nestle
Pon thy coral lips and rosy.
Kiss me now again, and sweetlyi
All slone beneath the starlight;
Nature only heard the music =.
You and I the bliss but tasted;
And the eyes of flowers, at morning.
From their dewey chambers peeping,
Ignorant, shall look about them'
That beneath their roof of fragrance
Eva's lips we're tasted BY me.

FORWARD As WELL AS BACKWARDS
The Albany Atlas and Argus couples with
Vice-President Breckenridge's review of by.
cones on leaving the old Senate Chamber, a
string of golden predictions of things to
come. Says that paper:
A hundred years hence the American
Senate will doubtless still occupy the cham
Der into which it has just moved. Perhaps
that body will then be so large that it will
be somewhat inconveniently crowded, but it
will desire to remain upon the scene of its
glories as long as. possible. Some Eve orsix
new States erected out of she Territories Of
Washington and Oregon will have represen-
tatives there. Texas will have been divided
into Eve States, each as populous as she is
now. California will have been divided into
two. Utah and New Mexico into six or
eight. The city of Mexico will doubtless
be the capital Of an American State, and the
whole Of that country will have its Senate.
rial representatives in Washington. Daco.
tab will have two or more States. The Brit
ish possession on the North of us will have
scut up rich into any number of sovereign
communities, also represented there. The
schoolmaster will be abroad in Honduras,
YuOatan and Nicaragua, which will also be
members Of the great American Union.
The Senators from New York will repre-
sent an empire of twelve or fifteen millions
of people, and New York city will be larger
than London. And sitting also in their
Senatorial chairs viii be seen men of dark
Iberiau features, but speaking the Anglo
Saxon tongue, representing the several rich
apd populous States formed oas of Cuba aud
other West India Islands. The Pacific rail-
road will be completed, at, least three trains
day will start from the respective termpi
of the road, the ones going east being laden
with all the. productions of China, Japan,
and the rest of the Orient. The United
States of America will have become the
greatest Nation on the Globe. But that in
order that this splendid dream-may become
reality, it is necessary that we should study
still more closely and adhere still more strict
ly to the principles of the fathers of the
Republic. We must cherish the Union as
sacred legacy. Wemust silence the treas
enable talk of an 'irrepressible conflict be-
tween the different sections of our common
country. We must trample under foot the
hydra of sectionalism. The glories Of the
future will be the legacy of the theory and
practice of the Democracy.

UlGH Prices FOR GRAIN.-Ye ester
day fine article Of wheat was selling in this
market for one dollar and s'eren cents per
bushel. High as this price may appear,
there is every prospect of its being still
higher We noticed some few loads Of grain
in market that had been utterly refused by
our buyers, as it appeared but little better
than chaff This same grain is readily sold
at 75asO cents. In Chicago wheat ranges
tom 81 90 to S1,73 aud the market very
much excited Last Tuesday winter wheat
advanced 5as cents. and spring 4alO cents
That is coming up pretty fast. but should
the news from Europe prove favorable for
a war, it will rise still higher before the
next harvest. Wheat in New York has ad-
vanced in about the same ratio that it has
in Chicago, and in our latest advices it had
an upward tendency. With all these pros
poets ahead, we do not wonder at the smi-
ing faces worn by our farmers, who
although they may not now have dollar
In their pockets, yet have the satisfaction of
knowing that it will be but few weeks
till they have plenty, and to spare. May
they not be disappointed.
