sobbed Laurette.
There came at this moment
some demand for Mrs. Earn
shaw in another part of the
house and reluctantly, and in
great puzzle and bewilderment,
she went to answer it.
On the way she very unex-
pectedly met Ralph Henderson.
He had come home as suddenly
as he had gone away. After

She went away, and Ralph
Henderson, obeying some i'm
pulse similar to the one which
led him in the early portion Of
this story to crafty his curios-
ity at any risk, walked deliber-
ately down the passage and in
to the sitting room.
Laurette sat with hcr face
buried in her hands. She did
not look up.
Mamma 2 she said; and
Ralph, with a defiant backward
toss Of the curling lock that had
tumbled over his forehead went
lightly toward her. He could
step softly as a woman when he
chose.
Mamma Laurette went on,

must never, never tell anyone /

Ralph's eye sointillated curl
ously, and involuntarily his
arm touched Laurett' waist.
Perhaps she took the touch for
the promise she asked, for she
said, presently:

She nestled closer within the
encircling arm, and tried to put
her head on mammals shout
der, and looked up from the
broadcloth contact with a
smothered scream.
'What have said; oh, what
have I said?' she cried, in an
agony of fright.
Ralph's arm remained firmly
i'll its place. He held her
strongly within its clasp, and
his face had an expression Lau-
rette could not meet.

PEACH ORCHARD FORTY-FIvE MILES
LoNG.-G Gorge L. Akers, of Nashville, who
is at present on visit to Virginia, writes to a
friend in Nashville from Petersburg that "the
breast-w in front of Petersburg thrown
up by the Confederates during the late war,
extending to the left towards Richmond about
twenty miles, and to the right about twenty
five miles, for the defence of the city, have
grown up in continuous line of peach trees
of every variety, yielding an abundant crop
the present year. This is the only legacy left
by our poor fellows who were on the advance
line within one hundred yards of the enemy.
Having eaten the fruit while on picket duty,
they cast the seed aside and now they appear
in one continuous line of forty,fve miles in
beautiful trees, yielding the greatest variety of
the finest fruit

LOCAL MISCELLANY.

TURNPIKE NoTIcE:-We are requested to
state that there will be meeting of the in
corporators of the Shepherdstown and Hail.
town Turnpike Company, at Ertler's hotel in
Shepherdstown, on Saturday next, Septem-
Der .4th, when it is hoped there will be full
attendance of parties Interested. The Regis
ter, in noticing this proposed meeting, says:
"Too much importance cannot be attached
to this very desirable movement We under
stand that nearly one half of the required
stock has been subscribed by the citizens at
the southern end, aud this too under the OPP
position engendered by the plea that this
much needed improvement is to contribute to
making Shepherdstownt the permanent County
down as malice. But our entire business COM
munity are vitality interested-millcrs, mer-
s. chants and mechanics. Good roads are pleas
ant and inviting to travel. and promote the
real value of all property adjacent"
We cordially approve what is said of the
Importance of good roads, and would like to
see them extended throughout the county,
even if sit contributed to making Shepherds
town the permanent county seat" But we
have no fear of any such result. That place
will continue to be the county seat just SO long
as the voice of the people is stiaed and the
Chapline dssnaats rules the roast in this
county, and NO longer. The onward progress
of liberal ideas, and the early enfranchisement
of the people, which is inevitable, will ter
inmate these evils, and then the county at
will come hack to its rightful place. There
is no malicious feeling here that would do
aught to retard the progress of the contem>
plated road. or that would throw single OBJ
stacle in the way Of Shepherdstown's pros
perity and future magnifcence. If she can
become thriving sea port, We shall hail her
progress jIyfulIy. for then she may be able to
build her turnpikes, and relieve other portions
of the county from heavy taxation. The
Register says tl.at ''"ne, halt Of the required
stock has been subscribed by the citizens at
the southern euI" of this road. What has
been done at the northern end, which is SO
deeply interested in its construction? Has
like liberality characterized the action Of the
citizens in that section re should like to
know.
