he, Margaret's husband, had never felt
this delight in her? Might he not have
met some other woman for the sake of
whom he would possibly have been
tempted to repent his marriageP
He was a good man, upright and true;
but he had often played at love before
his marriage, .'ere lifetime and love-
time were one, and he was being
pushed now, for he doubted whether her
love had not declined into that friendli-
ness which he had given her before, and
she was absorbed in the child
Was she, then, one of those women in
whom the instinct of motherhood is
stronger than all other? He worshiped
her now with the full sacred passion of
his manhood, and was his own child to
come between, and shut him away from
her? She would be always sweetly du-
tiful, he knew that-but duty. wifelv
duty. A man is nothing if he does not
want more than that; and what was his
life to be if she and the child dwelt
apart in little paradise of their own?
He was jealous of his own child. AT
this point the man threw himself on his
knees and finished his conflict there, and
it was well for him that he did so.

DECEMBER COTTON REPORT.
THE CROP ESTIMATED AT 100000 BALES


WASHINGTON, December 15.-The Deem
Der cotton report makes the aggregate ap-
proximating 100000 bales of AGO pounds
each The estimated increase in Florida is
eight per cent, making in round numbers,
IS 600 bales; Mississippi, eight per cent or
96l 900; North Carolina, ten per cent, or
42l 900; Alabama, ten per cent, or 76S, 900;
Georgia, eleven per cent, or SS5, 900; Louisi-
ana, twenty per cent or 571 900; Tennessee,
Carolina, twenty.si per cent or 625, 900;
Texas, 6fty-two per cent, or 1,322, 900; Ar
kansas, sixty per cent, or 6S5,000. In South
Carolina, Texas aud Arkansas, last years
product vas greatly reduced, which accounts
for the large percentage of increase. Vir-
ginis, Missouri, The Iudian Territory and
other districts may make $4,000 bales.
Serious injury wss justly apprehended from
the lateness and the vigor of growth, which
did not occur; killing frosts were every
where later than usual, yet the loss of i'm
mature bolls which resu ted in some dis
tricts ia estimated at ten per cent, as in parts
OF North Carolins, Tennessee, Arkansas and
Northern Texas, and in a less degree
in other States of the cotton belt. In North
ern Mississippi frost vas reported twenty to
thirty days later than in average years. The
weather Is generally favorable for picking,
at many points exceptionally good. the re-
verse is true in portions OF Louisiana and
Northern Texas. In some counties in Arkan-
sas and other paris OF the Southwest, from
continued wet weather, Losses from boil
worm continue 10 be reported, mainly west
of the Mississippi. This insect probably
caused as much damage as the caterpillar
this season. There will be one more return
at the close OF the season, estimating the
actual number of bales and acres of the
present crop.
