A. n.MANTON. rfTni A-VE you the means to support 'ySIa fe" wa the question which practical old Mr. Worth asked me when I asked him, somewhat over forty years ago, for his daughter Effio. I never thought of that, and I'rn quite sure Effie hadn't. How to keep the kettle boiling was a problem far too unpoetical to engage the atten tion of two young people wrapped op in the contemplation of each otb But the question only needed to be put to prove its pertinence. Mr. Worth's fortune was moderate; mine was not hint?. At present, l was barely able to gain my own liveli bood. To take a wife under such circumstances, I was at no loss to perceive,' would betoken either uu pardonable rashness or an indelicate willingness to pension myself on an other's bounty. My resolution was at once taken. Stammering something in reply to Mr. Worth's question, I bowed my self oat of his presence and sought his daughter's. "Your father is right," I said to Effie, when I had told her what had passed. "No man haa a right to take woman from her home till he has another to offer her. Till I am prepared to do so, farewell !" In the gold mines of California, fien lately discovered, I toiled aud roughed it with the roughest. For tune, after manv frowns, at length begau to smile upon me; and I hop ed soon to be able to return aud claim, without humiliation, the prize for which, if I had not labored as long, I had at least encountered more of hardship and danger than the young Israelite did to win the choice of his heart. I carefully abstained from corres ponding with Effie. To do so be fore the conditions wer6 fulfilled which I had prescribed to myself I would have looked upon as a breach of faith. Through a friend, however, with whom I occasionally interchanged letters, I learned, in time, that Mr. Worth's affairs had become embar rassed. He had even been lorced to borrow money from an unconscion able old usurer on the security of his homestead, and the exacting creditor seas threatening to turn him out of doors I could easily spare the amount necessary to avert such a calamity, but how to do so without wounding the sensitiveness of Erlie and her father was a question ot no small delicacy. I wrote to my friend, iuclosing a sum sufficient to buy in the claim against Mr. Worth, with instruct ions to take a blank assignment of the bond and mortgage and to for ward them to my address, every precaution being taken to conceal my name in the transaction. My instructions were complied with, and, in due time, I received the papers ; aud, my good fortune continuing, it was not long before I J felt that I might present myself to Effie' s father, prepared to answer the question which had so discont certed me at our last meeting. I was on my way from the mines to San Francisco, whence I expect ed to sail for home by the next steamer, when, one evening, I was overtaken by a stranger riding in the same direction. People do not stop for au intro duction under such circumstances. I think if oue met his "dearest foe," a Hamlet phrases it, in the heart of a wilderness, old feuds would be forgotten, and a friendly chat would spring up. Tbe interchange of a few ques tions and answers disclosed that the stranger's destination and my own were the same, and we agreed to bear each other company. Besides the pleasure of companionship, tbe stranger suggested we should be more securo against an attack from robbers no uncommon occurrence in that region than if we travelled singly. It was some miles to the place at which we proposed camping for the night, and darkness had already be gun to Bt in. My companion and I freely exchanged experiences. He, like mvself had heeii a miner, and we both bragged a little ot our suc cesses. The subject was an interest ing one to me. It made me think of EffiA, and I had fallen into a rev- j erie when I was aroused by the re put of a pistol at my Hide, I can only remember a sharp sen sation of pain, and seeing, as I turn ed my head, the hand of the assas sin uo other thau my new compau ion extended toward me with the murderous weapon in his grasp. I ieturned to consciousness to find myself taken care ot by some min ers, who had found me and carried me to tbeit tent. It was weeks be fore 1 was able to resume my jours uny, and months before the San Frncitco doctor would permit me t embark ou my homeward voyage. My appearance had greatly alter ed. My face was bronzed by expo sure and emaciated by recent illness to say nothing of the change made in i t by a tnll beard of many mouths' growth. Few of my old acquaintances, I thought, would recognize me. I wondered if Effie would. 1 meant to take her by surprise, and try the experiment, at any rate. It was evening when I reached my native village. The old innkeeper, whom I bad known from boyhood, received me as a stranger. He was au authority on local topics, and I could not forbear putting a few questions toucbing the matters up permost in my mind. "Do you know Mr. Worth, who lives here V I began. "John Worth? None knows him better.'1 "How is he I" I inquired. "A leetle broke, latterly." the old man answered. "And his daughter, Effie !" I went on. "A nice gal, Effie do you know her?1' asked the innkeeper. "Slightly I replied. "She's agoin1 to be married to ?or row said the host, ''You've come to 'tend the weddin', prob?bly.:' "Married V I exclaimed with a start which must have excited tbe old man's attention, had his eyes been better "to whom V "Well, he's a stranger lately come to these parts a Mr. Garth by name a man of money, they Hay. Him and old John patched it op, some bow, between them, though they do say Effie was dead ag'in' it at the start. ' You see it's b'en whispered she'd 'd a sort o' likin' for a young chap that went off to Californy; but Effie's a good, bid able gal, an' obe- jent to her father." I resolved to be present at that wedding. I do not think I contems plated openly upbraiding Effie, or making a scene ; but a strange fas cination possessed me to witness the perfidy of her on whose faith aud truth I would, till now, have e'taked my life. The ceremony, I learned, was to take place in the little church in which 1 had sat so many Sandays, thinkiug of Effie's pretty face, and forgetting all about the text and sermon. I followed the crowd as it entered. I could not see Effie's face, but observed that she trembled vio lently. She and the bridegroom, with their attendants, took their places. The minister advanced to speak the word 8 which were to place an im passable barner between me aud my life'8 object. A turu of the bride groom's head enabled me'to catch a glimpse of his features. lie was the same man who had attempted my life ! However faithless Effie had proved, 1 could not look ou and behold her bouud to a fate like that. "This must proceed uo further !" I exclaimed, advancing and facing the nuptial pair. The dastardly assassin cowered as though be had seen a ghost. He may have thought me one, for he had left me for dead" that night. Fffie's face was as pale as death. Stretching out her bands appealing ly: ' "Ob, say you have come to save aie !" she cried, in tones that stirred ray heart to its depths. "aave you from what ?" I asked s'ernly. "Are you not here of your O'.vu will '' "I am here to shield my father against one who has the power to drivn hiiii forih homeless in his old age," she answered. A few words sufficed to explain all. My murder, as the reader has surmised, had been attempted tor too purpose of robbery. Fortunate ly, 1 had but little money about me, . .,-. . f i - iiiusl ui iuy gaiuB naving oeen pre viously forwarded to a banking bouse in San Fraucisco. I had with nir, however, Mr. Worth's bond and ixnrtgage already spoken of, aud tiiese fell into tbe hands of the rob btr, who, having written his name in tbe blank assignment, presented himself as one who had purchased Vie claim, and seeing Effie, he had offered to make her hand the price of abstaining from pressiug his r hts against her father. The vil b.iny had the more readily escaped detection because of the old mouey U nder's death, and the absence of t'te friend through whom I had ta k .n up the claim! I briefly recited the facts within ay knowledge, and the would-be bridegroom was conducted from tbe c inrch to a prison. The little church was the scene of a ceremony not long afterward which went off, I am happy to say without interruption, and at which 1 was also present though not as a spectator this time.

He treated Wilmington most shabbily. He has treated the South like a scurvy politician. He has been hostile, mean and heedless. ButBemjamine "raveus like a wolf He is a thrifty fellow. He had a brothea who died and left a widow. She hasjust received the nice sum of $8,329 tor arrears of pen sion, and is to get auuually $596 CG Comfortable that ! But she is not entitled to it aud Benjamine Harii sou knows it. Why do we say so ? Attend 1 The facts are exactly giv. en in the following we take from the Boston Post. Itt-ays: "Applications for this pension were iefused by the Commissioners uuder President Arthur's adminis tration and again under that of President Cleveland, Commissioner Raum, however, has fixed it for Mrs Harrison. Col. Archibald I. Harris sou died of consumption in 1870 Under other administrations the Pension Office held that his disease was not contracted in the service.'' In the lace of this B. Harrison permits the outrage upon the peo ple's pockets to help take care of tne widow of his brother. This ac lion ot the President of the Repub lican party is precisely in keeping his eutire record. He was prover-. bialty stingy as Senator. He knows how to bestow favors upon his own family. He has given office to a brother, to a brother-in-law, and so on. But there was another act of his that was even more reprehensible thau these. He was a party to a transaction that improperly put money in bis own particular pocket. Tiie Post says, aud it is unquestiou ably true, aud has been often com mented upon : "It will be remembered that in February, 1890, President Harrison signed a bill paying Ihe law fiim ot wjichhe was a member $2,500 in settlement of a claim which every Congress since 18S2 has refused to permit the Government to pay." He deliberately favors a bill that gives himself $1,250 which has been refused to him by Congress after Congress. Benjamiu "ravens as a wolf."

The South i the Plac. The desire of a large texile ma el; nery manufacturing company to re move its plant, where nearly ono thousand hands wero formerly em pltyej, from Philadelphia to some ceiitral location iu the South, maiks bu: the beginning of what must be ce;ae a noticeable tendency of Soathern growth. Where the cot tor: is grown, there must it be nian aft ctured, or, in other words, the m Is mum come to Mm cotton field. Equally tiue i it that where the ui Is are there must the machinery to: them be made. The rapid giow iu ui cotton manuiacture in the Sooth, the building of new mills at l the steadv enlargement of nM oi.'S, is cansint? nn immence il m.iad for spinning ami weaving m ichinery, and, in fact, for every lii 3 of machinery required in the best equipped co'ton mills. At present this machinery is almost wholly purchased in the North, Philadelphia and New England bes inutile largest makers of it, and for some years they will continue to reap the harvest of this business. W th the rapid progress of this hi de itry, Northern texile machinery m;.uufacturer8 are yearly securing gr later volume of business from the Soath. There must come a time. though, in the comparatively early fu ure, when makers of such ma chinery will locate iu the South. Tl ere they will find cheap raw ma te ials wood of every variety, the hi jhest grades of iron, and every th ug needed to produce the best m:ichineiy at the lowest cost. More ov-r, the market for their machinery wi aid be right around them. The heavy freights from New England would be saved, aud the combina tion of cheap production and low fn ights would be so great that well-located and welbmanaged es tablishments ought to have as great advantage over Northern comiieti- tors as Southern farmers have over those of Pennsylvania. The inevi table tendency of manufacturers to seek the field where the greatest advantages of production and dis tribution are to tie found, makes it certain that the South will in time develop a large texile industry, and thus add one more line of enter prise toward the diversification of her manufacturing interests. Southern Progress. Cultivating After a 1 la in. After every heavy rain soil that has any clay in its composition will form a crost on its surface The water that dries off or evaporates leaves all its mineral constituents behind, aud this forms a crust. These mineral elements are soluble, and if cultivated under they form excellent plant food, as they do not at once lose their solubility. Be sides, the breaking up of the crust as noon as possible admits air to the soil, and thus in decomposing, as fome of it undonbtedly does, in creases its fertility. American CaU tivator. A Tent Cawe, There was a case before Squire A. D. Shuford recently which hinged upon the publication of an adminis trator's notice.

But tbi s called for the production of such a rotice and proof that it had been pu ilishea six weeks in some news- pajH-r in the county. 'Ibis could not be done because the notice had nev er jeen published, and the justice of '. he peace properly gave judgment for the plaintiff. To avoid the pub licf.tion fee such notices are often stuck up in writing at the court hottse or on a tree by the roadside.
