Gavin* kept his won!, and rather osten tatiously ao, for he strolled slowly up the main street, with hia rod anil creel, ju-.t aa the people were going to church. He certainly hod the satiafaetiou of perfectly horrifying them. His drive with Miss Crief was a still greater offence. " A pretty, painted Frenchified infi del!" said Duucan Furbea, bitterly; " a lassie wha stxirua the kirk, an' meas ures e'en the word o' the L>rd by her am small understanding. Gavin Irwiu ia courting doll an' disgrace, an' uae guid lad will sort wi' him." EveryU>dy shared the lawyer's opin ion, anil the young men who sat at the same table witli GUT in gave the offender but the soautieet courtesy, aud quite ex cluded him from all their Utile social plana. While Jessie remained in Campeaile he did not care much. He chose to call it " jealousy " and " envy," and paraded his friendship with the harou of Cnef's sister very of fensively to all his old acquaintance*. But Jessie left Camptuule with the summer birds and flowers, and very aoou after thia event Gavin's time was out with Lawyer Forbes. He was anxious to bur a share iu the lawyer's busiuess, and liis father was now inclined to please him; but Forties declined all-Mr. Irwin's offers, and plain ly told the old man that his son's un popularity would injure hi* custom. "Our trtv y Icilk, Ken neighbor, like a man who walks in the old wav* ; we are a plain bodies, an' hue sma' skill of these new philosophies. The law of God and the law of Scotland is just as much as we cau manage." Gavin was much hurt and disappoint ed. He wna young and wanted friends and company, and uo oue responded to his advances. Wiuter came on and it was so dreary that Gavin took the next wrong step. As good people would not notice him he fell into bail company. Anyone knows how rapidly a man may travel oa this downward road. Gavin son l>egan to " take a glass," and then, uot tocore who kuew it, "bet ter men than he got before the wind occasionally." He had ioug ceased going to church, aud pretty Maggie Lindsey, who had dared to smile in his face, long after her mother aud sister cut him directly, liad now ceased to notice him. and given her smiles to Alexander Forbes, his special aversion. The winter passed, and in th* spring the news of Miss Crieff s marriage came to Campsaile. It was a very bitter drop a hied to his cup, for Gavin had felt sure that Jessie would returu with summer, an I explain, in some satisfactory manner, her mysterious silence ; and to the loss of this hope wa* added the spiteful con dolence* or the open sarcasm-- of all who knew him. He thought his cup was quite full, bat a greater sorrow awaited him. One evening, in the early summer. Bailie Irwin qnietly died in his chair, of heart disease, and people did not scruple to ssy tliat Gavin's conduct ha I has en ed his eneen gambling with princes in Baden-Baden, and fighting for his rights with the roughs of Nevada. Bat one night, ten years after his father's death, when he was just recover ing from an attack of the terrible vomito in Matomoras, he suddenly bethought him of the pleasant old home among the breezy hills. He heard in his sonl the chime of the church bells, and the faint, sweet music of the people singing, jnst as he heard them on that Sunday morning when he went fishing to please the fair and fickle Jessie Crieff, and an intense desire for those cool old rooms and scented garden wavs, for the mnrranring tront streams and broom-covered hills possessed him. He feebly Bought for his purse and counted lus mqpey. Yes, there was enough left to clothe him decently and carry him home ; and he would lie con tent henceforward to farm his father's acres and live as his fa'her had done. He had to travel slowly, bnt one evening ten weeks afterwards, lie got off a steamer and stood once more on the Campsaile pier. No one knew him. He stopped a little girl to ask if Doctor Anderson still lived at the manse, and then took his way quietly towards it. % As he opened the garden gate a lovely girl looked up from her carnations at him. He asked timidly for the minister, and she led him into the well-known par lor, with its low roof and old-fashioned furniture. Mr. Anderson came thoughtfully in, looked at Gavin carionslv, held out his hand, and the moment he spoke, said : "I thought so. Welcome home— welcome home ! I promised your father to say this mnch for him when this glad day came round. I'm a proud man to do it, sir. Lucy, Lucy! bring some cakes and a glass of cream. You'll be glad, Gavin, I know you will, to taste the , wholesome oatmeal again." I And Mhs ran on while he took off THE CENTRE REPORTER. Gavin's hat and coat, and gave a score of hospitable order*. 80 tlaviu stayed at the manse for some weeks, and what paaaad lelawii the minister ami hitu no oue over know ; but 1 tlnuk Gavin told him most of thoae ton years' aiua ami failure.

So" Qaviu stayed all summer with tlio miuietor, and by the end of it aa any ouo might have foreseen —ho had but ouo thought tu life- Lucy Anderson. Ho was almost euro Lucy loved him Um, but ho had never dared to }>euk to her. But one night, an he eat full of dreary thought, about hie wasted past, Lucy eaiue and touched him. "*Mr. Irwin," alio said, " you are ami. and YOU make luc miserable. W hat ia the matter?" ••j jo*e—and I am uuworthy to love/' *' Did eho any ao?" " Lucy ! oh, Lucy !" Love had manifold wave of explaining itself. Thoac two looked in each othor'a eyes and eaw all they wanted. But the father wan not so eauguiuo. lie remembered the pant ten year* and trembled for hia Lucy'a happiueaa. "I'll tell yon, Gavin, what I will do. You shall perform a tiling 1 auk of you, and then I will say amen to Lucy's yea." "I will do anything in the power of man to do." " My request may seem eccentric and purposeless, but I have good reasons for mskmg it. It is now the end of August, you shall go every night to your father's house at ten o'clock, and sit in his chair until midnight strikes every night, mind—and 1 will give you an answer at the New Year." " Your wish ia a singular oue, but I will fulfill it." "You are to take no company, no stimulant, and no light of any kind ; and you are to keep our tryst in spite of wind and weather." " I will strictly fulfill your orders." No one spoke more of the strange compact, but it was silently fulfilled to the letter. Only on Christmas Eve, the old man pressed his hand an he left, aud said : "Be content ; your trial ia nearly over." So Gavin went out of the oorv, lighted parlor into the dark, cold, lonely house with a happy heart. He bad eat aUmt an hour when he heard footsteps, and eaw the glimmer of a light. The door opened and the min ister and Lucy entered; but it was Lucy that kissed him and said: " Come home, Gavin! Come home. Papa save so, and I am yours, darling, forever and from this hour." " Yes, Gavin," said the minister, an they talked together afterwaril, "I thought to-uight is Christmas Eve; no better time to forgive aud forget, to trust and IOTC; and when I asked Lucy, she said it was God put the thought into mv heart, an I so we've both come for you. "And now, my dear *e©oud father, tell me why you put me through such an ordeal ?" " Because I wanted, first, that you should think well over the pent, and I knew that the lonely walk in all weath ers, and the lonely bouse, so full of ten der memories, was tlie beat place for thought. Secondly. I knew if you had the reso' utioii and love t> kv pa promise extending over four months, yn might l>e trusted with a graver promise. And now I hve a double reward for yon. H-re is the order for tea thousand pounds and iuteret for ten Tears; your father left it with me fcr yon.

" And Lucy, father ?" " Lucy gave herself to you, and I'm well enough couteut. lam proud of the way you kept your bargain, and every body has the good word for you now, Gavin." "And I am glad enough of their good word and kiud greetings, father. I'll do all a man may do to deserve both." " That's right, Gavin Irwin ! If a man ' doesn't care' for the respect of his fellow-creatures he will very soon lose respect for himself, aud when self-re spect is onee gone Salau has a good lien on everything else." A Perambulating Printing Office. The Virginia (Nev.) BntorprUe says : " Some printer* of this city are contem plating the tlttiug up of a small print ing office which can be moved from place to plaoe on wheel*, as are the traveling pbot-igraph galleries. They intend making their start in California, and will travel through the small towns where there are n i papers published and no printing offices. Once they are anchored in a town they will send their • devil' flying abont the place with all the latest news of the neighborhood and the advertisements of the business men. They will print oarU, hill-heuds, circu lars, and all else required, and when they have supplied the wants of a town in the printing line they will give seme ranchman or livery stable keeper a big puff and an acrostic on the name of his favorite daughter to hitch to their office and to haul them to the next town, where the devil will again be set flying almut and where the ' bugle blast of free dom' will again be heard. Thus they will go from town to town, remaining from a week to a month or two in a place, making money and friends wherever they go, and having a jolly good time at all the halls, parties, weddings, and funerals. They may even wrk their way up to Oregon, or down to Arizona, but what thy now think of doing is to establish s circuit of good towns for their business and visit them several times in the course of n year. The boys concerned in the enter prise are confident that they will lie able to make it a success as all three are gotsl printers and writers, and their contem plated ' devil' is not only a fair type-set ter, but also a gem in other respect* —in flying around, for instance. Their little paper will be called the Poatal Card." Peculiar Marriage Ceremony.

Yesterday the trial was to have occurred; and llur uam, partially recovered from his wound*, was in town. evidcuUy witli tlie determination of havuig revenge upon Maupin. He was backed by four of his friends, the chief of whom were Ballard and Coruelisou, while Maupin was liacked by his relatives, each armed heavily with heavy revolver*. The party first met in the corridors of the court house, ami re volvers were drawn, but Uy the lnterveu tiou of frieuda they wen- induce. 1 to re frain from ahootiug.

The Maupms, seeing this actiou, eousnlted for a moment, but only for a uiomeut, when Jasper, putting Ins hand upou his revolver, started boldly along the sidewalk iu the direction of the stable. His backers, uiauv of whom were already mounted, stopped about fifty feet away te watch the result. Maupin walked quietly down the street till he got opposite and nearly past Burnam, still liavmg his hand on his revolver and looking l>ack a* he paaaed. Suddenly Burnam drew a heavy revolver from uiuier his oat, and step ping quickly toward Maupin, without saying a word, plao*l the umxxle nearly agauist his forehead, ami, before Maupiu could ilraw, fired. The ball entered the brain, and Maupiu fell to the sidewalk. Then Maupin's friends opened fire from the corner, jumped from their horsea and rushing up toward the party. Lee Maupiu ran toward Burnam, and, leveling ins iev.dvcr, fired. Burnam fell dead upou the sidewalk, his feet resting across those of his victim. Lev Maupiu rushed uguiu to the l*ly of Burnam, and, sU-.piug over it, sent an other bail through his head.

The example of Lee Maupiu was followed by hia fellows, whodelibcr ately approached tlieir victims while they were dying, sending the heavy balls from tlieir pistols through tlieir head*. Then, there mung no more of the frieuda of the vanquish id party re . aining alive, tlie carnage ceased.

Adrlanople Hescrlbed. Adrianople ia about one huudred and thirty-five miles from Constantinople. It ta alnrnt five miles in circumference, surrounded by old walls and defended bv a citadel. It* street* are narrow and circular, bnt adorned with fountatusaud mosques, of which there are abont forty. It wa taken bv the Turk* from tlie Greek emperors in EWi. aud made the seat cf their empire, which it continued to remain for a great many years. It poaaewte* manufactories of ailk, w<*ilen, and cotton stuff*. Rose-water and other jierfuines are made here, while tlie dye ing and tanning establishments have quite a world-wide fame. It* exports are wool, opium (for the poppies here are the fluent in the world), leather, honey and wax. Tlie population ia about 100,- 000, of which one-third ia Greek. It ia here that the Turkish difficulty lies. The Greeks are to a man with Russia, aud in event of the civil war which has broken out in sub-Balkan Bulgaria reaching Adrianople, one-third of Adri anople mav, sword in hand, welcome the Kusniaua. " Tlie bazaar aud the moeque at Selim are the great attractions a* Adrianople. The former ia a building about two hundred yards long, and offers for sale all the rich commodities of the East. The mosque ia built like a theatre, and from the ruins of Famagusta, in Cyprua. It* principal balcony baa an ascent of 377 step*. Adrianople was, it not tw naicl, on* of the great clawir cities of ancient lhune, and it figures frequently in Gibbon's " .Decline and Fall of tlie Roman Empire." It re mained practically the nearest approach to an old Roman citv until it fell under the Turkish p >wer in 13fi0. It remained the favorite residence for the sultana until the last century. Adrianople onoe more awakened to political life u 1829. about the time of the great successful Greek struggle for independence and freedom from the thrall of the Turk*. In that year the city was taken by the Russians, who had overrun Turkey thus far south. Mm. NarMlllan.

She was dressed all in black, the silk lieing covered with real Spanish illusion —a very beautiful, costly, and perisha ble material, seldom worn in this or any other country, on account of its expeu siveneas. She was hauled with jewelry —the diamonds in her ear* wore almost as large as walnuts, and could not have cost lees than SIO,OOO. Even the handle of her parasol must have cost a large sum. Her carriage and pair outaide were enough to make one's mouth water, so splendid were they. This lady talked in a loud, shrill voioe, with a ring of com mand in it, as that of a person possess ing power and conscious of it. And no wonder she looks grandly, and talks as if accustomed to carry matters with a high hand, for this is Mrs. MacMillan the lady to whom Tweed, in those days wnen he was flush and liberal, U said to have presented ft mansion ou Fifth avenue worth $$H),000! And as fnrther proof of his oonfldenoe in her discretion and business ability, he is reported to have deposited for safe-keeping, until he abandons his retirement, the snug sum in bonds, eto., of $12,000,000 or $14,- 000,000, leaving himself, as he truly states, with only a few paltry hundreds of thousands. mis, (UKOKA AMI HOTJNKHOLU. f tra sad tlsvdra Nslss.

The Aral ready to cut tn the apriug ia rye sown now, aud at intervals up to Novem- Wr. 1 have found a few acres of fall aowu rye in a field near tlie barn yard a very valuable and acceptable addition to the fodder in April, when incoming cows need succulent food to enable them to All the brimming pail. NEW V BO mm. tea.—Tlie past season's expericuoe has proved the value of at least a few of the uewnr vegetables brought out by tlie seedameu. Among tomatoes the Trophy is by far the beat of ail the uewer varieties, although this ia now well established. The " Little (iem," for twenty-five seeds of which I gsve twenty-five cents, ia little, aud a gem certainly, aweet flavored, solid, smooth, and bears abuudautly ; hut it is uo bet ter than the Truphv. The "One Hun dred Days Tomato " is good for uothiug, being late, small, and very much mis shapen. " Keya Prolific "ia good, lieara abuudautly ; but it ia not preferable to the Trophy. It was the only variety, out of a dozen or more, that the potato bugs took a fancy to. Of peas, Lax ton's "Alpha," the "Little Gem," a dwarf, and Laxtou's "Bnpreme," have turned out excellently The second needs no buahiug, bears Urge pods very plenti fully, and ia very aweet For early, second early, and late, I shall plant "Little Uenis" next year. The "Su preme " is a fine pea, having long, fall puds. It grows about three feet high. Dreer's improved dwarf Lima beau is an acquisition. It is veryqirobflc, the pods are ciuaely filled, and it bears about double the crop of the common sort liut of all the prolific vegetables the "greeu prolific cucumber" lias taken the jialm. For Pickles, either for use or for sale, there can be uoue better. One hill of three plauts has produced more than half a bushel of encumbers, which grew in bunches and with remarkable rapidity. Peruvian guano may have helped, but there ia a great deal in the variety itaelf. Of squashes, a new cross bred uf Mr. Gregory, of Marblebead, named tlie Hut man, has proved better than the Marble head, one of its parents. For pies it ia superior to any that I have grown. The flesh, when cooked, ia dry, sweet, and very full of flavor, This variety ia vig orous enough to withstand a hundred borers in each vine without perishing.

The rate thai Melel a fart* •( TaartMa la • h the 1 eliawataae lUfIM Aa laOu Jar* aatf Their Calrlal UerUlaaJ A correspondent, writing (rum Helena, Montana Territory, arivcw a thrilling ar ouuut of tbe adventures of a party of touriata who fell among the hostile band of Ns I'eroca Indiana, under oommaud of Chief Joseph. The touriata consisted of Maaara. Diugel, Oldham, Mr era, Maun. Arnold, Cowan and Carpenter and tbe two aiatera of tba last-named, Mr. Cowan and MUM Ida. They bad a wagon and buggy with them, and were camped in a piece of Umber in tba Low er Geyser basin. At daybreak one morning they found three No* Perot* aaated at tbeir Are, who aaid that they belonged to Joaepb'a baud and that the camp waa a oouple of tnilaa away; that Joaepb, Lookuig-Qho* and Wbite Bird were tbe cbiefa, and tbey would not kill citisen*. After oouaultatiou tbe tonriet* concluded to go to tbe Indian camp, aea the cbiefa and try to get permiaaiuo to oouUnue on tbair way borne, and at noon reached tbe cauip of Looking-Glass, other Indiana baring joined tbeir guidea to tbe number of fifty or sixty. Look iug-Glaai abook hand* with tbem and •aid be waa a friend to citizens—" no i kill citiaeua"—and White Bird, who aoon after oame up, aaid tbe aame thing, though be waa going to " heap kill Lew- 1 iatou aoldirra." White Bird " traded ** l bormew with tbe party, took away tbe ; guna and piatola, and told tbem to go ! around through tbe wooda, hitch tbeir wagoua and be off. The main body then pressed on aud the touriata turned back, followed by aome twenty Indiana, two of tbe party, Dingae and Arnold, here be coming aeparaied from tbeir comrade*. Tbe Indiana then began to take tbe blankets and clothing of tbeir prisoner*, aud took tbe guna of Cowan and Old bam. *' Then, aaya Frank Carpenter, in hia dimple but intensely interesting narrative, " after going a few yards we were told that Joaepb wanted to aee na. We turned aud went with them to the foul of a hill, where tbey tried to get ua in a heap (to facilitate tba killing;. but I advised tbe bova to keep apart I told tbe young chief that we wanted to go where White Bird waa. He aaid 'No.' 1 aaid ' Yea, I go. You kill, kill now.' He aaid 'No; go aud we moved slow ly about twenty Tarda, when the young chief and 1 stopped and tbe party moved on. We moTnd about fifty yards further up in tbe timber, when the Indiana com menced flnng. We went a few steps to tbe left among tbe timber, jrben tbe young chief jumped off hia bum* and ran ilown tbe bill. I then aaw my aiatei running down tbe bill, shrieking, to ward Cowan. I looked about him and •aw Indiana on all aides, with tbeir guna in tbair bands, and escape waa impossi ble. I neat recollect seeing this young chief on hia knee, about thirtT feet from me, with hia gun oocked and pointed at my breast I thought my time had come, and instantly made tbe aigu oi tbe cross on mv breast, thinking he waa a Catholic. The Indian threw up bis gun and aaid : ' Come quick—no kill—me save you." We came near to where Cow an w'aa lying, with my sister rd* naproMttoi/e mugossloseiue (unprofita ble gabble!) The censorship, however, of late yeare has been considerably mod ified, and the preaent war will probably result in a great extension of liberty for the press. 1 New York Street Character. Among the street character* at Hew York, writes a correspondent, one of the most familiar ia Smith the raaor strop man, who has been far several years a fixture on the Nassau street ride of the sub-treasury. Twenty years ago Smith was much more widely known than he in now. He then traveled through the country, veiling raaor strop* and am ill hardware, and became quite famous, in his way. Everybody knew him, and he made so much money that he waa ena bled to open a well stocked store in '.few York, which be kept going for e?earal rears. But the store waa not a auoceaa 'Smith waa finally obliged to give it up, and report said at the tune that his fail ure was the result of too much spiritual ism He had become a believer (so said report), and instead of attending to his tmsiuem, he gave his time and his mind to the mediums. At all events, the store waa shut np. and Smith had to start out once more as a peddler. But time had told upon his strength, and after a while he gave up the hard work of peddling and started the little street stand which he still runs just above Wall street. He lias a good stock of pocket cutlery which he takes home with him, stand and all, everr night, and a* every one in toe neighborhood knows him and has a kind ly feeling toward him, he gets on pretty well With his gentlemanly drees, smart manner, gold spectacle*, end white hair and whiskers (be must be s man of ri*ty, *t least). Smith ia one of the most nwpectable-looking street mer chants to be found. Transfer him to one of the handsome offices in the vtcini tv and he would pass for a banker or lawyer, with a home on Fifth avenue, quite aa readily ae some who have mil lions to their names. A light heart has carried him well through life, and he is aa hearty-looking to-day as when I aaw him nearly twenty years ago, holding his nightly auction sale of odds and ends in a well stocked store on Grand street. The Stdftj #f Amass. An obscure communistic society, rolled A man a, occupies a tract of fertile land near lowa City, and has 1,624 mem bers. There are seven villages, and in each a boarding-boose suflkaeut to ac commodate the population at the vil lage. To these all the people go to get their meals, the hour for whioh is gri en by a bell from a central tower. There are also laundries, where all washing and ironing are done ; so that no house keeping really is done in the families, which leaves the members to .other de partments of labor, and every member of the society has something to do. Onoe in every year the executive officers make an annuity apportionment to each family or single individual, which ia to hefor use for that year for personal ex penses. There is in every village a store, in which all kinds of goods are kept, and which are delivered to mem bers at the society without profit; a record of each person's purchases ia kept, and at the end of the year the amount is deducted from the annuity, so that very little money is used. If a member withdraws from the society, what he put in is returned, without in tercut or increase. If a member dies, and is the head of a family, his share or interest in the society is divided among his legal heirs, and placed to their credit on the books of the society. There are three physicians, whose duty it ia to visit the sick. Their medicines and teams are supplied by the society. So, also, schools are maintained. Mehemel All'* Narrow Escape. A French correspondent in the Turk ish camp relates that, shortly before the reoent battle in the neighborhood of Karahasan, the oommander-in-ehief of the Turkish army and his staff very nar rowly escaped being taken prisoners. Starting from Basgrad, Mehemet Ali ad vanced in the direction of Karahasan, a small village on the right bank of the river Lorn, and at that time ooeupied by the Russians. On turning a sharp bend in the road the lanoes of a strong patrol of Cossacks were suddenly seen, almost olose in front of the general and his staff. The leader of the hostile party was ap parently aware of the preeenoe of the Turkish oommander-in-ehief in the group advancing, for He at once launch ed his men against it. cslling oat to them not to kill any one and on no ac count to Ore. Flight alone oould save the amall band of Turkish officers. A headlong chase ensued.

Bancroft, the Historian. George Bancroft has the reputation of being one of the most thoroughly edu cated of living Americans. When" he waa a student at Gcfttingen, he learned the Oriental languages from EichborU, ancient history from P!"sck and Heeren, natural history from Blumenbach, and Greek and Roman antiquities from Dissect. He afterwards heard the lec tures of Wolf, the famous Homerist, Hegel and Sohleierraacher. Ue has been intimate with Humboldt, Varnliagen von Ease, Cousin, Schlossei, Goethe, Benja min Constant, Manaoni, Chevalier Buu sen, Niebuhr, and a boat of dead celebri ties. One of the things of his youth was a small volume of poems, enthusiasti cally describing the scenery of Switser l&nd and the ruins of Rome. He pub lished the first volume of his " History of the United States rt forty-three years ago, and the work is yet unfinished.
