A HIJOIIT IN SUJIMUK.
I wiw not tlio regular doctor, foi tho prac
tice at Burnley belonged to Fred Garnet, an
old hospital friend of mine, who hnd taken
to a simple country practice, whilo 1 had
been roaming about the word as a surgeon
in emigrant ships, and during tho Franco
German war. We had met after seven years
when Ivvantedamonth'sqiiictin thecountry,
and lie had asked me to attend to his prac
tice, while he came up to (own to pass n de
gree, for he was a hard-studying, ambitious
fellow.
A man nt tho door desired mo to come
over and see his master, who was dying of
gout, thisnvs the announcement by tho
servant, having that I had been consulted
about a "terrible vvherritin' pain" in tho
back of an old lady of "5, this was my
first cnl.
"There's Mis Kate a-walching for us."
I could see the flutter of a white dress by
Ihe gato as wo drove on, but my attention
was ton much taken up by the prettiness of
the pince, nnd I was gaping idly about,
thinking nothing of "Miss Ivale" nnd her
care, when the gig stopped and I jumped
Unwn.
"Here lie H, undo dear" she cried.
"Time ho was here," exclaimed some ono
w ith a -avago roar.
Alter giving various little orders I placed
the tender leg in uu easy positinn.tlin patient
breaking nut into furious exclamations the
while Then by means of some hoops from
a small wooden tub 1 made a little gypsy
tent over the limb to that the coverings did
not touch the exoui-itely tender skin, and nt
the end of half uu hour had tin; pleasure of
Hearing a sigli ot satisfaction, nf seeing a
smile steal over the face, which was now
smooth and Indewcd with a gentle perspira
tion, and directly after, in a drowsy voice,
my patient said :
'Kilty, my darling, he's a trump. Take
him into tlio next room nnd apologize to him
und tell him I'm not always such a boast."
lie was half asleep already, while I -even
In that short bonr--I hnd fallen into a
dream, a dream of line ; I, who had never
loved before, nor thought of it but ns sickly
boy ainl giil stiilf, unworthy of busy men.
I raui.ot tell you how the day passed, only
that Kate Antey had implored mo not to
leave her undo yet; and I ? I was her slave
and would havo done her bidding even to
tho death.
He was soon better, but my visits to the
farm were more frequent than ever. I went
one day as usual, but instead of Kato being
at the window aud running cut to meet me,
tho old gentleman stood at the door, looking
very angry, nnd ho at once caught hold of
my coat and dragged mo into tho kitchen,
"Is anything wrong?" I said, tremb
ling. '!Ves, lots," bald tho old man, "What do
you como hero for ?"
"For mercy's sake, don't keep it back I" I
said, for the room seemed to swim round me.
"Is Kato ill ?"
"Yes I think sho is," he nahl grullly.
"Hut look here, young man, what does this
mean?"
".Mean," I Bald. "Oh, Mr. llrand, if she
is ill let mo seo her at onco I"
"She don't look very bad," ho said, peep
ing through tho crack of tho door into tho
parlor, where I could seo her white dress;
"but I .bay, young man, you'd better not
come any more. Sho'a growing dull, and I
can't have my darling mado a fool of,"
"Mudonfool of I" I stammered.
"l'es," he said grufliy: "what do you como
here for ?"
I was silent for a minute, with a wondrous
feeling Mealing over me, as at last my litis
said I did not prompt them "becauso I
low Jier with U1 my htart,"
"And you havo told her so?"
"Not a word," I said slowly. My hand
was being crushed ns in a vise tho next
minute. .
"I'm not a gentleman, Doctor, but I know
ono when I meet one. There, you may go
and talk to her, If it's ns you say, for if it's
truoyou wouldn't mako her unhappy j but,
my lad, tho man who trilled with that girl's
heart would bo tho greatest scoundrel that
cycr stepped on God's earth."
Tho whole of thli part of my life is so
dreamy that it is all like some golden vision.
Hut I was at her chair, I know, and that
glorious evening I was content to watch tho
soft, dreamy faco besido me, a? she sat there
with her hands folded in her lap, watching
the sunset.
At last wo roso and walked together
through the wood, to stop at last beneath an
overshadowing tree, andthero In low,broken
words I told her I loved her, and in her
sweet girlish simplicity sho laid her hands
upon my shoulders, looked up in my face,
and promised to bo my little wife.
I went homo that night riding In a won
derful triumphal chariot instead of n gig,
and, to my great surprise, on reaching the
house there wns Fred Garnet.
"Hack already?" I stammered.
"Already? Why, tho month's up," ho
said laughing. "You must hnve had good
sport with your fishing, Master Max."
It came upon mo like thunder, this re
turn, and I lay that night awake happy,
but miserable, for this meant the end of my
visit, and what was to como in tho future?
I had not thought of that.
I put it oft" for tho time, nnd having ob
tained willing permission from Garnet, I
went his rounds tho next morning, aid, of
course, found my way to the farm.
I fancy the servant looked at me in rather
a peculiar, constrained way, as she said that
her master had gone to the ofl-hnnd farm.
"And Miss Kate?" I said.
"She's down in tho wood, sir," said the
girl.
I waited to hear no more, but ran along
the garden, leaped tho gate.and crossing two
fields, went through the wilderncss,and over
the stile into tho wood.
"My darling I" I kept repeating, ns I
hurried on, expecting to meet her at every
turn, and then I stopped short, with a horri
ble pang seeming to catch my heart. I was
dizzy, faint, raging with anger and mad in
turn, but that all passed off, to leave a bitter
crushing sense of misery as I held on by a
young sapling, and peered at the scene be
fore me.
There siood, with her back to me, Kate
false, fulso Kate with the arm of a tall,
handsome, military looking man encircling
her waist, her head resting on his shoulder,
and, even as I gazed, he bent his head down
and sho raised her arms her face her lips
to meet his kisses, as he folded her tightly
to his breast.
I saw no more, but stole blindly away,
went to the stable, saddled and bridled the
horse in a dreamy fashion,mounted and rode
back to Hurnley, threw the bridlo to the
man, walked straight to Iho station without
seeing Fred Garnet, and went oil' to Lon
don. Six months glided by, and then I was
once moro called upon to take charge
of the practice of a friend in the suburbs.
It was ono dark night in tho winter that
I was just going to be 1, half wishing that I
had a call for I knew that I should only
lie and toss about sleepless, and I was too
good a doctor to try my own drugs when
the surgery bell rang sharply, and tho sum
mons that I had wished for came.
It was a policeman ivitli a hansom cab,
and his oilskins slinno wet aud vividly in
tlie red light of the lamp over tho door.
"Axiden' case, sir," he said. "Dr. Barker
in tho next street's got in 'and sir, nnd ho
wants help."
1 learned from him that a gentleman had
been knocked down by tlio very same cab
wo were in, and trampled upon by the hor
ses betoro tho wheel went over aud broke his
leg.
We were there in a few minutes, and I
was shown nilo the bad' parlor of a com
fortably furnished hoifce, where thu sufferer
had bieu laid upon n mutlrcss.
A brief convolution with my colleague
ensued, and lie told me what he feared and
how he ivus tltuutcd, another important call
demanding Ins pit-seiice. Tho reoiilt was
that 1 agreed that wo would examine the
patient, mill .lieu 1 wouhUtny till Dr.llaikei's
icltirn,
A taint giu.iu from ihe iiultre.-n saluted us
as wo turned to our patient, and as I held
the lump over his Lice, aud the light fell up
on the lair hair and long drooping moils
taclie, 1 nearly dropped it.
"Neuio.sis !" I Untight. Mino enemy de
livered into my hand. Kate's lover lying
bruised aud broken crushed like a reed at
my feet. And now I need not kill him
to bu revenged I'or ull his cruelty to me, but
stand by supine, and he would die.
Fur a l'eiv brief nt jineuts told me that I
poisessed greater knowledge liinii my col
league's, uu I that it I withheld mine, noili
ing which Dr. Uarker could do would save
the llamo even now trembling in tlio socket
of life's lamp.
The soeuo in the wood flashed belore mo
onco a,;ain as I blood thee-Kale's sweet
faco upturned asking lor Ibis mini's kisses,
and all so vivid tlui my brain reeled and a
uiUl floated bol'oro my eyes.
"What do you think, Mr. I.awler ?" said
a voice at my elbow, nnd 1 stuited back in
to tho present.
"i'hat he'll bo past saving in an hour," I
said, quietly.
"I fear so," bald Dr. Barker, shrugging
Ills shoulders,
"Unless"
Hero I unfolded my plans as I said bitter
ly to myself, "And heap coals of firo upon
his head. Kate, take your lover, and God
forgive you 1"
"Kxcollent," exclaimed Dr. llarker, who
was a frank, gentlemanly fellow, without
professional jealuusii; and iu uu horn's time
wo had done all that was necessary, our pa
tient was breathing easily, and Dr. llarker
was shaking my hand.
"He's saved, Mr. Lawler. You'vo saved
his life. Now I'll bo oil' and get back iu au
hour's time. You'vo given mo tho greatest
lesson in surgery I ever hud lu my life."
Aud then I was alone, thinking bitterly of
what I had done.
"Kato Kato-slarlingl"
Those words feebly muttered brought mo
to myself, and I was the cold, hard wan once
more as I rose, and taking the lamp, bent
dowu over my patient, whose fyes now
opened and It stared at we.
"Where's Kato?" ho asked ; "nnd whero
what " Ho stopped short.
"Hush I" I said, coldly ; "you have had
an nccldcnt."
"Accident? Oh, ye?, I lcmeinbcr, I was
going to catch tho night train for Durnley,
when that confounded cab '
"You must not talk," I said, fighting hard
to contain myself. "You aro seriouslv
hurt."
That last was not professional, but there
was grim plenuro in piving him some pain.
"That's bad, doctor," he whispered, "for I
was going down to seo my darling sho's
very 111."
"1111" I exclaimed, starting.
"Yes," ho said, speaking with pain; and I
could not stop him now. "Consumption,they
say, broken heart, I think. Somo scoundrel-"
f almost dropped tho lamp as I caught his
hnnd and gripped it, and said in n hoarse
choking voice, for I was struggling to seo
the full light :
"What do you wish mo to do ?"
"Telegraph, at any expense, to my brother-in-law,
Take it down or you'll forget.
From Christopher Anstey to John Brand,
Grecnmead Burnley. Say Kato is not to
fidget. Y'ou know best."
"Yes, yes," I stammercd.my hands tremb
ling as I took out a pencil and pretended to
write "Miss Kate," then I faltered, "is "
"My darling child I" sobbed the poor fel
low, "and she's dying I"
He was too weak, too faint to heed me, as
with a bitter groan I turned away stunned
mad almost at my folly. For I saw it all
now, poor, weak, pitiful, jealous fool that I
was. I had seen tho girl that I worshipped,
petted nnd caressed by her own father, and
without seeking or asking an explanation, I
had rushed away, leaving her to think mo
a scoundrel, nay, worse.
When I turned once more to tho mattress
my patient had fallen asleep, und I stood
there thinking.
In a few minutes I had made my plans ;
then, watch in hnnd, 1 impatiently waited
for Dr. Barker's return.
He was back to his time, and in a few
words I had made my arrangements.
"Doctor," I said, "you said you were in
my debt for to-night's work."
"My dear sir, I'll write you a check for
twenty guineas,with pleasure," he replied.
"Fay mo in this way," I said : "See that
patients whoso names I hayo written on this
slip of paper are attended to well for the
next two days, and teil our friend here that
his message lias been seen to."
He promised eagerly, and the next minuto
I wa3 iu tho street, running to the nearest
cab stand.
I was just in time to catch the early morn
ing train, nnd half mad, half joyous, I sat
impatiently there till the train dropped me
at Burnley, where the fly slowly jolted me
over to tho Four Milo Farm.
It was a bright, frosty morning, and the
sun glanced from the river upon the trees,
but I could think Only of one thing as I kept
urging tho driver on, and he must have
thought mc mad as I leapt out and rushed
into the well-known parlor.
"Kate 1" 1 cried, as half blind I ran
toward a pale face lying back in nn ca3y
chair by tho fire.
"You scoundrel I" was roared at the samo
moment, and tho sturdy farmer had pinned
me by the throat.
"Yes, all that," I said ; "ouly hear mo."
His bands dropped as Kate uttered a low
cry and fainted.
"Quick 1" I said, "water and somo
brandy."
With a low growl of rage my old patient
for gout obeyed me, and iu a few minutes
Kate opened her eyes to look full in mine as
her head rested on my arm.
"Have you come to say good-bye?'' she
said, feebly ; and thcro was such a look of
reproach in that poor worn face that I could
only answer iu a whisper :
"No, no to ask yon to give and bless me
with your love ; to ask you to forgiye me for
my weakness, for I must havo been mad."
A deep groan made me turn my bead to
seo that the farmer's head was down upon
his arms.and his broad shoulders were heav
ing. "I thought you would never come again,"
said Kate, feebly ; "but 1 never gavo up
hope." (Antell's Family Mnja:ine.

Suddenly, I do not know how, or from
what quarter, tho feeling, for I could not
call it information, was)diffuscd that tlio suc
cessor of tho Prophet would pray at the
mosque, in Ortakcui, nnd that Jho would go
by caiquo ; nnd wo all scampered up the
road n mile or two, racing carriages, troops
and footmen, in eager ouUot lu order to ar-
rivo before .tho pious man. Tho mosque
standi upon the l!osphorou9, where itsbroad
marbled steps and pillared front and dome
occupy as conspicuous a position as the Dog-
ana at ' en ice. Wo secured a standing
placo on tho dock closo to tho landing, but
outside tho iron railing, and waited. A cor
don of troops in bluo regimentals with red
facings was drawn around the streets which
were in tho rear of the mosque, and two
companies of soldiers in white had stacked
their guns on the marble landing, nnd were
lounging about in front of tbo building.
Tho sccno on tho Bophorous was as gay
as a flower garden. The water wns covered
with graceful caiques and painted barges
and every sort of craft, mean and splendid
that could be propelled by oars or sails. A
dozen men-of-war wcro decked with flags
from keel to maintop ; on every yard, and
from bowsprit to stern stood .1 line of sailors
sharply defined against the blue sky, At
ono o'clock a, cannon announced that tho su
perior devotco had entered his caique,
and then from every vessel of war in tlie
harbor saluto answered salute in thunder
that awoke tho echoes of two continents ;
until all the broad water lay a thick battle
smoke, through which we could distinguish
only tho tops of tho masts, and ,tho dim
hulks spouting fire.
In the midst of this earthquake of piety,
there was a cry "He comes, he comes ;" tho
soldiers grasped their arms and drew a line
each side of tlie landing, a:id the officials of
tho moquo arranged themselves on the
steps. Upon the water, advancing with tlie
speed of race horses, wo saw two splendid
gilded caiques, tho ono containing the Sul
tan, the other his attendants. At the mo
ment a light carriage with two bay horses,
unattended, dashed up to tho side door, and
there descended from it and entered the
mosque, tho imperial heir, the son of the
lato Sultan and the nephew of tho present,
a slender pale youth of apparently twenty
five or thirty years. We turn (not knowing
how soon lie is to become Sultan Murad V.)
our eyes only to him for a moment, for the
Suitan's caique comes with imperious haste,
with the rush as it wcro of victory a hun
dred feet long, narrow, rising at tho stem
like the Venetian Bucenteur, carved and
gilded like the golden chariot in which Al
exander entered Babylon jiropelled by fifty-two
long sweeps, rising and falling in
unison with the bending backs ot twenty six
black rowers, clad in white and with naked
feet. The Sultan is throned in the high
stern bung with Bilk on silken cushions, un
der a splendid canopy on the top of which
glistens his arms and n blazing sun. The
Sultan, who is clad in the uniform of a gen
eral, steps quickly out, walks t he steps
over a carpet spread for his royal feet, tho
soldiers saluting, everybody with arms
crossed bending the body, and disappears
in the mosque. Charles Dudley Warner;

having been invented to do.the work, though
it would seem that such n machine in the I
shape of a coarse comb might easily bo In

whero they aro grown, which aro in the light
sandy soils of Tennessee, Virginia and North.
Carolina in this country. Peanuts are also
largely grown in Africa, India, Brazil and
other places. The best are raised in tho
valley of the river Gambia, in Africa, and
yield largo quantities of oil. This product,
when properly produced is equal to olive
oil ; but it is also used in woolen manufac
tures, in soap making, in lamps and for lu
bricating machinery. Last year the crop in
tho United States was as follows : Tenncs
see, 235,000 bushels; Virginia, "450,000;
Nortli Carolina, 100,000. The imports from
Africa last year were 846,000 bushels, of
which Boston imported 38,000 nnd New
York 23,000. Tho average of the new crop
this year is somewhat larger than that of last
year, and promises well, the nut being gen
erally better filled and matured than for two
years and of finer quality. The past year
was marked by fewer changes .than nny
former one ; by a moderate-but Steady con
sumptive demand ; by an . absence bf specu
lation, and by the small proportion.of cholco
white nuts. Tcnnesseejpeanuts arc. put up
in burlap bags of four or five bushtls capac
ity and are sold by tho pound, the grades
being respectively inferior,'' prime, choice
nnd fancy. The crop year begins October
1 and September 30 of the ensuing year.
Tho new crop will come forward under very
favorable auspices. The previous crop hav
ing been well sold up, stocks aro light in
the hands of commission merchants and
dealers. Ilofton Herald.
A Shot it.om a Pakhot. A'few dayB
sinco a well-bred and exceedingly dignified
young lady of this city entered n florist's to
make a purchase, when sho was accosted as
follows by a shrill voice resembling that of
an aged lady :
"Shut the door ; don't you know any bet
ter ? It's cold outside."
Very mucli overcome with mortification
and embarrassmentshe looked about for the
speaker, saying, "Pardon me, madam, Jiut
tha wind blew so I could scarcely close the
door."
"Well, mind your eye, miss, and don'tdo
it again," repeated tlie voice when to her
great astonishment and amusement, the
young lady discovered that she had been
conversing with n well educated and certain-,
ly very familiar poll-parrot. Evidently an
noyed at tho bird for receiving her so, tho
young lady turned her back to the cage and
was intent upon examining some .flow
ers. Suddenly the same voice, or what seem
ed to be, Faid to her, "What can I do for
you, miss?"
"If you hold your tongue I shall be grat
ified above all things," replied tho young
miss, turning around as she spoke, and dis
covering the lady proprietor standing in her
presence.
Tho denouement was all that might be itn-i
agiued.
A TmciiSTKii Caught. A somewhat,
amusing incident is told of a woman, whoso'
husband, a wealthy man, died suddenly,
without leaving any will. The widow de
sirous of securing tho whole of tho property
concealed her husband's death, and persua
ded a poor shoemaker to take his place
while a will could bo made. Accordingly
he was closely mullled in bed, ns if yery
sick, and a lawyer was called in to write tho
will. The shoemaker, in a feeble voice, be
queathed half of all the property to tie
widow.
"What shall bo done with the.reniainder?''
asked the lawyer.
"The lemaiiider," replied he, "I givo andl
bequeath to the poor little shoemaker across
the street who lias always been a good neigh
bor and a deeerviu man j" thus securing a
rich bequest for himself.

Farewell lu thu Potato llu.
The Colorado potato beetle, or potato bng,
as we generally call it, has at 1 ist found Its
match iu the shape of a mite parasite. Prof.
Hllny, at a meeting of tho St. Iuls Acade
my of Science, exhibited a potato bug which
was so completely covered with mite para
sites that the point of a needle could not ho
placed on any part of the beetle's body with
out touching one of the parasites. He esti
mated tho number of mites nt 800. Tho
bug had been attacked by theso enemies and
killed. The potato bug seems to havo ii
number of natural enemies, such as the
toad, tho crow, tho rose-breasted grotbeak
and domestic fowls. There aro no less tbau
twenty-threo insect enemies that attack and
kill it. The bug has also beeu migrating
eastward across the continent for several
years, uutil it has now reached the Atlantio
ocean, Wo hope it may find a watery grave
and let the waves sing its requiem, lloely
