Whether it the air, or her great
liappinex*— f ur the passiunaie love she
hid ccimeivi'd fur ih* handsonie young
I farmer had preyed upon her heart fur
Ibrte loDg years—lsabella grew belter
instead of worse. When they returned
; and took possesion of their handsome
city house, she was br'glu ar.d handsome
and charming. Stephen hud had un ex-
I pel e> ce of such a wouiau. His life wa
one of luxury, au lhe had perfeot free
dom and he had as many blank checks
as he wanted. Isabella put all her &f
--i fairs in his bauds and ui-ked no account
of thrui, uud Sn plicn managed them
very well—.and this bad been goinc on
( lor three long years. When one day
' he took bis way, after dark, to a cettain
fa-hiuiiuble restaurant, where be had or
r Jered s upper, an t wit shown to a
tk« jei ood 3o«r. A.
lady sat t|cfe alone. She was elegunt
ly dreaM-d, and wore a thtck veil.
Neither of thciu spoke to the other un.
til the waiter had served suppor and
; bac.i dismissed. Then the lady removed
| her veil, and Stephen looked luto Kath
riue s face, and >he stepped back and
surveyed him from head lo foot.
"What a swell you are!" said she
"You di nt look as if you had ever
hand), d a plough.--and so handsome."
'•You ire very will ditpsed, too,"
! lie ssid coolly.
plic sighed.
; "I scud you plenty of nionjy, 1 hope?"
said he.
"Plent;," »hcanswered. "Hut I am
tired of living alone and calling tuyfe'f
Mrs. fuiiib and having mysteries."
"Well, that cannot be IHped," he
answered. "Remember, this nisetable
plan was all your own. You wanted to
be rich ; you liavo more money than you
know what IO do with now. You need
only to write to uic lor more. V\ l.at is
| the use of an iilcrview like Ihisi"
I "Diuu't you want to «ee me, Stopli
eu?" she asked.
I He looked at tur with a ouiicu*
smile, hesitated, and then answered :
"No; but let us eat our supper while
i it i* warm."
"I do not want supper," said she,
taking her place at the table. "I must
talk te you though."
He st down and helped her to the
, contents of the dish before him. She
| passed the coffee.
"Likeold times," said she.
He made uo response.
"You rotueinber old times?" Kath
j rine pleaded.
! "I try to forget them," said he, "1
am ashamed of what I have done, for
| my part."
She put out her hand and tsucbed
his; he drew it i.way.
' "How mueh longer?" said she, "bow
much Ini ger!"
"What do jou mean?" he asked.
"How Kuob longer will that woman
I live?" said the.
"She may oathve e'ther of us," said
i Stephen. "It seemi that the oould aot
have had eonsumption, aomtbing preyed
upon her mind. Now she it very happy
I and perfoctlp well "
j -'Oh, good lleavtn!" oried Kalh
! rine,
"Perfectly," repeated Stephen. "Oh,
I told you we could not arrange the
chances of life and death to please our.
| selves "
| "Hut will yeu let tier live!" oried
j Kathnoo.
"I pray that she may. I should be
I wretched if A* did Mt," said Stephtn.
j "For I adore her." _
"You soy that to yoir wife?" gts-.ed
Kathrine. He laughed scornfully
"You want"d money, you have monev,
he said. "You shall always have it,l»it
you are nothing to iu' now. I loved
you, I was content, j-o mnde me the
ruscal 1 htv  become ' but having had
the love of a we.uin lihe Isabella, it is
tctrculy liKelv that I should pine for
you—-you must make 'he bett of it."
" Make the best of it!" cried the
"No. I will cx| osc ."su. 1 will de.
•' at w
 tCnt ciattn my i ight! ~ '
"It will be a pretty tale to tell."»nid
he, "bu I jail forestall )ou. When
| a woman loves a man Isabella loves
uie, S'IO will believe ali be srys and do
anything ht asks. Come, Kathrine,
you wan ed money. 1 was content to
I spend my lite « n the old farm, and be
ono of you an 1 good to yon. You
planned and plotted—.Heaven has frus
trated you. But, for ali that, you hive
fiid clothes, jewolry, good food. 1
have found love aud happiness suo i as
I have never dreamed of. Were Isa
bella to die tomorrow 1 would ntvtr'ive
with you again as your husband. What
you did made tits bate vnu, and she is au
innocent angel—-.a lady, aouiithiiig too
good for me >o ti uch. But 1 love her
,—she loves me. And it you grieve or
burui bcr I will hill you."
Kathrine suppressed a shriek.
"Oh, Slcphuu," she said, "if I could
ouly briug old tiui-s back Money is
nothing to me without yo i. Oh, I love
| you—l love you!"
"I don't think you know how to love,
Kathrine," bo said coolly"; "and 1 don't
want your love if you do.''
She looked at hiui through her teara
—he. grief disfigured her plain fuee so
that it was hideous. He, though he
flushed aud frowned, wis still hand,
some.
' I must go," laying a chock
upon her knee. You'll want to quiet a
little before you go—then eall a cab.
You know where to writy, and \ou can
always a*k for all you wn.'c bet
ter not SJ« each other agt.'u."
"I'll expose you. I'll publish your
trick! I'll crush that woiuau's pride !
I'll be revenged !" she gasped, lut he
was gone.
Trembling with wraih, she paced thu
r ioui. Her mind wcut back to the in
nocent dsys when handsome young Step
en passed the prettiest girls in the place
without a look, tnd chu.e her, plain as
she was, fur his sweetheart; to the mar
ried life in tlie shabby little farmhouse on
the mountain top -oh, they were so
happy.
Why did she long for money? What
devil put it into her head in plot i.nd
plan as she had done !.—to Mice Siiph
en to do what she desired ?
"It was Satan, 'she said at last,"and
ho has deserted lue."
There was a fire in the grate. She
crossed .he r >oui "ud threw tbe cbeek
upon the coals, and uaicl cd it blaze and
turn to tinder, an? still gated astli" red
sparks that children eall "the parson,
the clerk aud- the people," followed one
another to the edge and went out. Then
sho went to the door and shut it ) and
cast herself upon a lounge which stood
iu a recess.
Later, a waiter said to tbe proprietor
of the restuarant.
"The gent and lady that had supper
iu the blue-room had a row. sir, before
he paid up; and as he went off alone, uud
she is there yet, I (nought I'd best men
tion it to vou; sit."
For answer, the proprietor ran upstair
to the blue-room. The wo i>un lay upou
tbe lounge, seemingly asleep.
"Madam," h« said.
She mado no answet.
He orosscd the room tnd touched her,
and cried out:
"She is dead !"
At first there wero rumors of murder
and suicide, but neither had happened
Grie f , wrath, remorse and thepaugaofa
guilty conscience bid ended Kathiine's
life, by soma'.biug the dootors spoke of

TOO MANY NEWSPAPERS.
We of-en wonder what opening the
publishers mty feel assured uf ss wo see
from nine to lime the too imiccu'cnt uf
the I irth of some n. w paper for public
patronage. We have alluded to this
more thaw once and the Sanford Central
Exp rem haa li'ely expressed itself oil
the same subject thus .
"The Stute has now nearly two hun
dred papers certainly too many fur a
sparsely settljd State,
ia not a rendiug pc >plu in the stViet
seiiM". The cuntrqucuce is, journalism
is a very poor business iu North Cnrn
tiaa. The best conducted journals inakn
no siuuey and the others arc ekeiug out
a bare liviug. Some of thu.u are a dis
credit lo their owner: null the coiiiuiuiii. ;
ty iu which they are published. The
inorc.-ise of newpspers ought at least to
be tfiteuuragod until the people learn to j
read and l«ain how lo take a newspaper.
At this time the supply exceeds thu de- 1
uiand and publishers in their eagerness
to gut circulation, send their papcison a
credit te persons who will uut cancel a •
obattil mortgage. The increase ot pa- '
pern and the credit they give patrons
make journalism a veritable drudgor ."
GOOD ADVICE TO FARMERS, j

COL. L. L POLK —.Dear Sir V—At
Correspondent of this Alliance, I will
row send in my first very brief lotter.
We wero org mixed in April last, but'

to the locatiun i f other Sub Alliai 0-a i i

as good as we hive in the community.
We have contributed very liberally to i
the Stato Agency Fund and hope to j
do more iu th* futnre, as all tbe mem- j
bert were not present it the last meet

1 have just read a part of the pro- j
coedtngs of the National Alliaj.-e, and
am very well pleaded with thi vork,
and etpcciailp with the plan adopted
'or breaking up the speculation in '
cotton futures, and 1 would here eng. j
gest to Alliaiics men everywhere to
look close after home-made suppplies,
home-made fertiiiiers, and every ih ng
that will en.ibie thorn to hold their
ootton crop to suit their own conveu- !
ience ; for let me reiuin 1 you of uuo
fact, we are paving to the manufactur
er of fertilizers one- fourth »f our cot
ton crop every year. Just think of
thit, one hundred thousand bales of
Oueton every year to pay fur cummer,
oial fertilizers in North Carolina alone
four miliums of dolluri. In North
Caroltlina we pay hoavy rent for our \
own land*. Brine your land up by soum j
otbrr means, pea-e, oomposting, rye and j
many other ways that would be more 1
lasting and benefiiei-■ I, at one.half th. ■
expense of buoiug fertilizers. Would j
like to say lo all Alliance men every- j
where to be punctual at your Sub. Alli
liiuce meeting at leant once a month ;
huve a regular timo for meeting and
arraitgoyour affairs so tint you can

There is not a distill jry nor a bar

STORING CABBAGES.
The tiei man town T /rgraph hat for a
number of years recommended that
jabb'iges be prcsorved ihrough w'titer
by setting tiicui up in rows as they
giew - that is, with the roots down.
Thon fill In with soil pretty freely ; then
make a covering by planting two posts
where there is a fence to rest on, or
tour where there is not, allowing for a
ditch to carry off the water ; lay bean
po'.js opposite the way of the pitch and
cover with corn and fodder or straw or
hoards In using . thiough the winter
avoid as much as possible the tun side
aud eloso up sguin. "We have not,"
says the ptper quoted, "found setting
the cabnage upside down in rows, as
many an, of an; advantage, at we have
kept ours for more than twenty years
in the way we nientioLed in a tonnd,
perf?ct condition through the winter
into the spring, and could even up to
the Ist ot May if desirable."
A rule, very commonly observed is
to set the cabbages to bt kept over
beadt down, when the beadt are firm
aud fully fiown, and roots down whea
(he heads aie loose and not fully ma
tured.
