PHILIP NORwOOD-s FAITH.

The grounds about Mrs. Atherling's
country home looked like faiTy-land on
one particular night in June.
The occasion was a strawberry and
cream festival, given for the benefit Of
the Presbyterian church.
COlored lanterns hung on every tree,
torches blazed be. .ween, arches Of ever
green spanued the tables, anG. there was
bright enjoyment.
Strains of sweet music l0ated on the
balmy air, and from the parlor Of the
roomy house came the sounds Of feet
lying in the merry dance.
Many beautiful ones were there; but
She who carried off the palm was stand
ug alone at one of the parlor windows.
She was tall and queenly, her skin
was ike polished ivory, her eyes were
hazel, large and luminous. She was a
woman whowlu.d be singled out among
a thou and
Her dress, of palest azure silk, trim
med with TuiIies heavily embossed with
darkest blue, became her well, and the
silver arrows in her hair glis,ened as
she moved her shapely head.
Many were admiring her as she stood
there.
Down by the gate stood two to whom
we will listen.
They were Philip Norwood and james
Newman, old friends who had not met
for years.
They had just discovered each other
ani had had about five minutes talk on
'Old times," when Newman stopped
short in what he had been saying, and
broke off with:
Il say, Norwood, who's that beauty
yOnder. In all my travels 1 haven't
seen such face as that.
That" said Philip, looking in the
direction Of his companions gaze, which
was toward the psrlor window; THAT, ;"
he repeated, his handsome face glowing
with tenderness and pride; "that, New
man, is my belrothed. "
"Iudeed! BY Jove! you're the luck
lest man I know Of, Norwood
Yes, am lucky. Newman. She is
as good as she is beautiful"
''Then she must be very good, for her
beauty is marvellous. Allow me to con-
gratuIate you, Old fellow When is it
70 be?''
"In the fall"
You'll ask me to be present, Of
course?"
Certainly"
"And what might the fair ones nam,
be?"
"She has an odd name-Pamilla.
Don't often hear it, do you?"
"No. PamiIll-PamilIa-I'ye heard
it before, though. Ali 1 remember.
Pamilla what?" eager y.
''Pamilla Hyatt"
GOOD graciousl" s1is Newman,
starting back as if he had esen shot.
whats the matter?'' asked My
wood.
''PamiIla Hyatt-PamilG x y1s5l. =
peated Newman, eXciteCly, as he tO0k
from his breast pocket a leathern case,
and with trembling fingers opened it
and brought out small gold locket,
blue enameled. Look at that, Nor
wood-look at the name-what do you
see?"
Norwood looked ard he sew and ejas-
ulated;
"Pamilla UYatt?'
Exactly; that Iocket must be hers.
/ It isn't likely that there is more than
one PamiGla Hyatt in the world"
"Wel, and what of it?"
"a good deal. Let me withdraw my
congratulations. You're not the lucki
est-yau're the most unlucky man ]
know Of, to be ensnaTed by the fatal
beauCy."
"Explainl" cried Philip, hoarsely
Explain at once"
"You remember my cousin Andrew
you've heard me speak of him at
! Ieast-a gay, merry, easy-going fellow.

When the communists of Par:9

carried away his bronZ s and curiOsi-

engraved or stamped upon his articles of

ornaments brought to him bearing this
mark, which he had never owned. Tie
dealers had cOuntcrfeilei the mark,

The Subject of Agency.

We toxic the following paragraphs from
the Pee Dee Watchman, and have no
doubt they will be read with interest by
the public generally:
A case that will perhaps be Of some i'm
portance 10 persons transacting business
as agents, has been argued at Chambers
before Judge Townsend, at Bennettsvllle,
against certain parties at Society Hill.
A, having Il judgment against b, at
tempts to levy under an execution, on a
stock OF goods run by B, alleging HIM
self to be his wite's agent, under tho firm
name of "B, agent" Tho Sheriff being
told that the goods were Mrs. BIS, and
that he would seize them at his peril, re-
turned the execution unsatistied. A,
therefore under supplementary proceed
ings, had B and his wife examined as to
ownership. The evidence showed that
B was %insolvent and unable to procure adj
vances from any one to set himself up in
business, as his old creditors would seize
everything. At this point, Mrs. BIS sis
ter, out of sympathy, as the defence
claimed, directed her husband, who was
also carrying OH business as agent, to sup
ply Mrs. B, with a small stock of goods,
the business to be conducted by her hus-
band as clerk and managing agent. This
was done, and since then the stock has
been constantly %replenished out Of it's
own proceeds.
A commended that the agency was o
dodge of BIS behind his wife to avoid
his old creditors, and in support
of this, attention was called to admission
Of the parties, that B had run the bust
ness as his own, not consulting his wife,
making NJ reports, &c.
Judge Townsend decreed the agency
and ordered b to pay AS judg-

A HORRIBLE CRIME.
Two Negro Fiends Confess their
Outlines of Robbery, Arson and
Murder in BarnWeIl County.

On the night Of Thursday, the Sd inst,
house on the plantation OF MIR. d. +. =.
Sprawls, some three miles from Willis
ton, S. G., was consumed by fire, togeth-
er with the occupants, Stephen Eneck
his wife and two children. On Saturday
inquest was held by Coroner Jack Flcm-
ing, which was adjourned until next day
on account of tho absence of several wit
nesses. From the evidence Of the wit
ncsses and the circumstances connected
with the burning, it was presumed that
the fire was accidental in its origin, and
that there was no foul play connected
with this affair. The matter, however,
underwent investigation, developing sus-
piciQp which terminated in the arrest Of
two negro men who confessed to q crime,
the wanton cruelty and revolving villainy
of which have hardly counterparts in
modern criminal d~epredations. Tho par
ties suspected were captured Thursday,
in Barnwell, aud according to their state
ment, the object of going to Stephen
Eneck's house was to steal a sum of
none which he was said to possess.
Their first acts were to murder Stephen
and his wife, after which they proceeded
to ransack tho house in their plundering
scheme. This accomplished, they return
cd to their victims, and covered them
with bed clothes saturated with turpcn-
tine. After firing this mass, they locked
up within the house an infant and a little
child to perish in the funeral pyre of the
murdered parents, and the sur Of their
fendishness was complete. The villains,
after arrest, were taken to Williston, and
thence to Aiken, to be locked up, as there
is no Jail in Barnwell.-NeWs and Courier.
