BoRRu WED 14 AG (IA E Cyrus Durham was very busy on a certain afternoon making an omelet. • At least lie called it an omelet, but in reality it was Roth lug but scrambled eggs. "Omelet" sounded better, but it would not have tasted half as good, especially if Cyrus bad had to make one himself. In order to understand why this young man cooked his own eggs it must be known that he was a medical student in Philadelphia, and the son oft' very respectable and by no means ungenerous physician in Maryland, who allow ed him for his expenses quite enough to keep him very comfortably, even in a large city. But Cyrus, who always had table-board on Walnut Street for about the first half of every month, had generally been accustomed from necessity to live in a "bachelor-hall" style for the remaining portion of the month in his rooms on Sansom Street. He was very nice ty situated in these rooms, and the high rent he paid for them contributed not a little to his slimness of purse during those days which im mediately preceded the arrival of his monthly remittances. Ills "study" was on the second floor of what is known in the city of Brother ly Love as the "back-buildings,'• and was ap proached from the long entry by n single short flight of stairs. This room looked out at the side on a pleasant yard, was very well furnished, and was altogether quite too good for a young fellow who ought to have been satisfied with any garret where he could study unmolested. Back of the large room was, a small bed chamber, generally tenanted not only by Cyrus himself, but by any one of his companions who might stay too late studying anatomy—or euchre. Cyrus was bending over his little wood stove stirring his eggs rapidly lest they should burn, and keeping an eye at the same time on his coffee-pot, which, however, had given no signs of boiling. It was only four o'clock, but Cyrus had had but n slight lunch, and so wanted an early supper. This power of hav ing his meals when he chose was another ad vantage of this mode of living. Ills table was set with a small linen cloth (the clean side up), a cup and saucer, and a plate. The 4 ` omelet" was just done, and Cyrus had giv en it the last scrape around the pan, when there was a knock at the door. "Come in !" said lee, and the door opened and the knocker entered. Cyrus looked around, and dropped on the top of the stove the frying pan which he was Jost lifting off by the long handle. In the doorway stood a young lady, dressed in the loveliest possible traveling suit, with roses in her cheeks far more glowing than the pink lining of her parasol. "Mr. Durham," said she. "Why, Miss Birch I" cried Cyrus (with his face redder than any silk n lady wnuld dare use to line her parasol). "I had no idea—l am very glad to see you, take a seat. You must excuse me—bachelor's hall, you know. When did you come on ?" Miss Fanny Birch was by no means unem barrassed. bite had hesitated about calling on Mr. Durham, and would certainly have postponed her visit had she thought she would have found hint cooking his dinner, supper, or whatever It was. But she took a seat which Cyrus placed for her (as tar as possible frinn the stove, but unluckily facing it,) and with a little laugh, which was intended to re store her self-possession, and . which had a partial success, asked him where he supposed she had "come on" from ; and then without waiting for an answ•er,proceeded to inform hint that she had not come front home, but was just going there (she lived about half a mile from Dr. Durham's place) from her uncle William's, where she had been for nearly a month. "You know," said she, "that he lives in New Jersey, just .a little way out of 'Frei'. Cyrus didn't know it, but he did not say so but asked her if she bad a pleasant time. She answered that it was at first, but she got tired as soon as her cousin Emily had been obliged to go back to boarding , chool ; and, he knew, those Connecticut schools always commenced their terms right In the middle of the finest weather ; and did all the students keeP bach elor's hall this way ? Cyrus Said the most of them did ; at any rate those who liked better and fresher food then they generally got at the boarding houses. Then Miss Fanny remarked that she thought that is was a very good way if you only knew how to cook ; and didn't he think that what ever was in that pan was all burning up? Cy rus turned round and said he thought it was ; and so he took the frying pan, fullf o blackened and smoking eggs, oirthe fire, and moved the coffee-pot a little back. When he sat down again there was a little silence. He knew she had not come to see him simply because they were old friends and neighbors, and he thought it very probable that she bad something particular to say, and was wondering how she should say it. lie was right. After looking out of the window, and remarking that she should think the peo ple in the next house could look right in liere, she said " Mr. Durham, I guess you wonder why I came to see you. Oh yes, of course you are glad ; but you see, I left uncle's this morning by the boat and sent the trunks on home by express, and coming off the bout at Arch street wharf, or somewhere—l haven't the slighest idea where—l had my pocket picked, or lost my porte-monnale ; and I didn't know a soul in Philadelphia who could lend me enough to pay my fare in the cars, except you, and I thought I'd borrow some of you. I knew you lived in Sansom street, but I had to ring at ever so many houses before I found you.' , Now:ita Cyrus had exactly forty-eighi . cents In his pocket, this was rather hard on the young man. "You see," she continued, "that if I take the six o'clock train for Baltimore, I will get there about ten, and then Icon stay with Mrs. Sinclair to.night. The passenger cars will take me right past the door, and father will send you the money" .'Oll, don't mention that," said Cyrus, who looked exactly as if he . was returning from the 1 grave of a pair of twins. "Ilutl haven't—l think not, at least—hut that need make no difference—l'll just step out and get it. Oh, I'm very glad indeed—no trouble at all—very glad you cornett) me. Just make yourself comfort able here for a few minutes. There's pipe— AY MORNING, AUGUST 4, 1869. perhaps you would ack directly. No I mean there's some Lod MEI like to look at. trouble at ail." So off went Cyrus Wit hls hat on bind part before. As for Mis r Fanny Birch, she first wished she hadn't cat e.: But then she thought that she couldn't elp it, for she had no other place to go to. ut she thought of coo ree he'd have money enough for that. 3 1 "What a pity about those NsHust as black as a crisp I What a limn way of living l I wonder if he calls these tinge clean. He ought to have somebody to wash his cups and plntesTor him ; but I suppise it wouldn't ho bachelor's ball if he didn'tllo it himself. All those books are full of hor#d bones, I expect' I'm sure I don't want to hok at them. I should think he did -nothi , but smoke; pipes every where. I wish o'd hurry back. Why it's six o'clock ' n v 1 Oh, that clock don't go—l declare, it q Ito frightened me. Why don't he have his el k w and up?" With thoughts like tiles Miss Fanny be guiled a part of the time tl t she was obliged ' to wait for Cyrus ; but at ngth, tiring of ex- amining the room, she ve m ured to take up a book, which fortunately p vod to be an odd volume of Macaulay, and so she forgot the world in the fortune of W I lam of Orange un til Cyrus returned. 11 That poor young man hat\ a hard time of it.' . oat poor young it..._ On On reaching the street he stood for a moment in doubt, and then hurried to William lids kill's boarding house, to try and borrow ten dollars. He knew that tivewould pay Miss Brch's passage through to lier father's house; but he could not offer her les\than ten. Heis• kilt was out. Then a quick, run round to Walnut Street revealed the filet that Seymour had "gone out walking, Sir,. with Mr.Hels. kill." Cyrus knew that there was but little chance or finding any of his Student friends at home on such a fine afternoon ; but still ho hurried down toSpruce street, to see if by chance little Myles was trybig to make up for lost time by a trifle of study. But Myles, if he was engaged in any work of self-benefit, was not doing it at home. " Continual It I" said Cyrus. "I'll try pi ous Arnold." "Pious" Arnold was so called, not on ac count of any particular religious tendency lie exhibited, but simply becau he attended lec tures regularly and studied lard in the mean time, refusing all temptatiot in the way of card parties, excursions, or titer diversions of the students. "Pious" was at home, but was very sorry he couldn't lend Cyrus a dollar. Ile had (al though he didn't say so) twOnty-seven dollars in a little black box in Ids trunk, which was exactly what was due his landlady at the end of the month, and In declinihg to part with any of it he did perfectly right, for It Is very doubtful if he would have had it back again in time to maintain his reputation as the best paying student In Jefferson College. Poor Cyrus was dumfounded. He knew not another soul to whom he could apply. One of the Professors, with whose he had a previ ous acquaintance through Ws father, might have helped him out but he lived over in West Philadelphia, and there was no time to go to him. It was now striking five, and the train started at six. Ile had nothing to sell. Ile had "lent" his watch to help pay for a walnut book-case that was one of the recent orna ments of his room, and he had nothing else on w deli at so short notice, he could raise a dollar. Ile stopped, on his way back front Arnold's again at Ileiskill's boarding-house; but of course he had not returned. What, in the name of every thing that was absurd, termite to do ? After some ten minutes of fruitless beat ing of his brains, he came to the conclusion that he must go back and tell his shameful sto ry, Mr if Miss Birch had any other way of managing this difficulty, it was time she was about it. So lie went home and up to his room. Miss Fanny rose, but the moment she saw him she knew that he had not got themoney,; And so there was no necessity of blotching the story.of his shame and p.....rt 6r .- ack much pity for his manifest embarrassment and downheartedness that she said,, laughingly, "There, you haven't got the money. All you students spend every cent your fathers send you as soon as it comes, nnd so you couldn't borrow any. But it don't make any difference. I have no doubt but that it will all come out right. Such things always do." "That may be," said Cyrus, "but I don't see how it is to come out right. You might go to a hotel and send home for money." " Wouldn't they make me pay any thing as soon as I got there?" she asked. " Not if you travel like a person who looks as if she had money—with plenty of trunks and things." "But I haven't got any trunks; they arc all sent on by express." "Oh, as for that," said Cyrus, brightening up a little, "I could lend you a trunk." This method of gaining credit seemed so funny to both IA them that they laughed as heartily as If there was no such trouble as money in the world. Miss 'Fanny declared, however, that she would not put Mr. Durham :to all that bother ; but Cyrus assured her that it was no trouble or inconvenience in the least to lain. "In flict," said lie, "it's ¶ splendid idea I Just think of it ! Why, I can make money out of you. I have a trunk with books and ihlng,s that I have packed up to take home for the vacation, and I should have to send it by express. Now you can take it right on for me, and it will go as your baggage, and will cost neither of us any thing. What do you think of that idea?" " Perfectly splendid I" cried Miss Fanny " And now how will I get to the hotel with toy baggage F' "oh, I will arrange that," said Cyrus "and now you don't know how relieved feel." "So do I," said Fanny. "But I knew it would conic out all right some way. I wish those eggs were not all burned up, for I would ask you for seine of them. Fin awful hun gry 1" It is astonishing how a common trouble and a common relief aceidemtes the growth of fa miliarity. Bur •thon Fanny and Cyrus bad known each other ever since they were child ren. ."Oh, I've plenty more I" cried Cyrus; "let me cook you some—you won't get any thing to eat the minute you get to the hotel." And he ran to his little wood-stove, where some embers still remained, Fanny demurred and "declared," but Cyrus persisted; and so a fire was quickly kindled with light wood, and he made fresh coffee, while Fanny took off her gloves and beat up the eggs as well as she could for laughing at Cyrus's funny ways of doing things—keeping his ground coffee in a porter bottle, and all that stale bread, as If he ought not to be able to know Just how much he wanted when he Bought it. "But then, you: know, I must always be ready for company," said the happy Cyrus ; and there was more laughing, and sonic dan ger of splashes of eggs on a new traveling dress. When it came to setting' out another cup, saucer, and' plate, Miss Fanny asked, would he please excuse her, but If he wouldn't feel insulted she thought she would just rub them off a little, if there was hot water in one of those spigots over there in the corner. And when the shining queens-ware was placed on the table Cyrus vowed that it had never been so white since it had been bought. They had a delightful meal, but no butter. Cyrus couldn't keep butter, ho said, in that warm weather ; but the bread was Dutch cake with ialsins in it, and the coffee, with cream that was just beginning to turn, was capital, and so were the scrambled eggs. Our friend was as happy as a king. Ile was so glad that Ilciskill and the other felloivs bad been out when he called, and be only hoped they wouldn't drop in on hint on their way back. But there was no danger of that. Miss Fanny seethed to remember that the afternoon was on the wane, and rising and declaring that she had never had a nicer supper, " prin , cipally because it was so funny," said she must be going; and which was her trunk "The smallest of those two yellow ones," said Cyrus; "and we will write your name on. a card and tack it on the eud, so as to make every thing ship-shape." This was soon done, and then Cyrus went for a hack. He. knew a man who "stood" near his college, and who had trusted bins bp fore, and who would do It again. Cyrus gave hint some private instructions in recard to making it appear that the lady bad just come from the Kensington depot. "That can be worked," said the man ; "the train's just in—about ten minutes now." So they hurried back. Miss Birch was es- cortcd down, find the man sent up stairs for the trunk. So far so good; but Mrs. Stacy, the landlady, a thoroughly good soul, but a little careful about students, now made her appearance with a look of anxiety upon her face. "Going to take your trunks away, -Mr. Durham 7" said she,. as soon as the lady was in the carriage. Cyrus led her buck into the hall, and ex plained that it was Unly one trunk, and added that he was not going to leave the house, and would explain to her in a minute. The thought of nil his furniture now came over the good lady's mind, and she retired, satisfied for the present. The trunk .was now strapped on, and at the deer of the carriage Cyrus was about to take leave of Miss Fanny, when she remembered the dispatch. Cyrus promised to attend to that (fur he had just about money enough) ; and it was agreed that it had better be sent to her uncle, as her father lived nearly three miles from a station. Then good-by was said, and away to the La Pierre House went Fanny Birch with Cyrus Durham's heart. Yes, she had it certainly. He had known her and liked her, ever so much, for years ; but he had never seen her in the full bloom of young womanhood until to-day. She had never before had such an intimate „ . the hit of sympathetic action ivith him ; she ad never before eaten nt his table I • . When poor Cyrus went back into tits room, after sending the dispatch, ho sat down dis consolately. How dark, dreary, and common looking was everything I How disagreeable that little stove, and how hot ; and how stu pid those dirty dishes I One cup, saucer, and plate he put away, and vowed he would never wash it. Ho was not a fool, but he was young. Then he lighted his pipe and sat down to ruminate. There she had sat and talked to him ; there slievjuid stood by the table while he was writing aft, name, on the card ; and there she had held it against the end of the trunk while he stuck the tack through the first corner ; yes, and there it was stilt! There was no doubt of it—the card was just where he had tacked it. What did it mean ? 011, that stupid hound of a hackman had taken the wrong trunk I • Cyrus bad scarcely comprehended the ex tent of this misfortune when there was a knock at the'door l and there entered Heiskill, Sey mour and little Myles. They had just got in from a walk in the country ; had had a capi tal dinner about four o'clock, and were now here to go to work, they said, after an after noon of play. In order to prove this assertion they each lighted a pipe, and seated themselves around the room, with their feet upon the highest article of furniture that they could reach. " What is the matter with Cy t" said little Myles. "What makes him so quiet? and why is he sitting.here with the room all full of the shades of evening, like a miserable tomb?" Cyrus made sonic joking answer, and ris ing, lighted the gas. After considerable talk and general chaffing, lleiskill proposed that the big table be cleared, and that they should go to work. kYou're professor to-night, Seymour, you now,o and try not to ask any questions you can't answer yourself." "Then let him stick to the spinal column," said little Myles. " I don't want him asking me to articulate a humerus and a fibula again.' "Oh, you needn't bother about who's to be demonstrator I" said Cyrus. "We can't do any anatotny to-night. The skeleton's gone." In ordet that the foregoing conversation may be understood, it may be well to slate that these yoting men had clubbed together to buy an articulated skeleton, upon which they rubbed up their anatomical knowledge, each of the party acting in turn for an evening as "professor," and asking questions of the others. This skeleton was kept in a long yel low packing-trunk, and the hackman had tak en it off with plies Birch to the hotel. There nut pare taken It, for it was near the door, and was indeed the only trunk visible upon first entering. Cyrus was so full of Miss Birch and the bother some landlady that he did not notice the mis take. • . Of course, with three such eager and amazed Inquirers as to the whereabouts of their com mon property, there was nothing to lie done but to tell, under promises of strict secrecy, the whole story. It was received with un bounded applause, and the joke was consider ed far more enjoyable than any studying of anatomy could possibly prove. When the laughter had somewhat subsided Heiskill asked Cyrus what he intended to do. ` Why, I'll have to go round in the morn ing and explain that the wrong trunk was taken (of course I shan't tell her what is in it) and then I'll have to get that Bill again to drive her and it to the Baltimore depot, and Instead of leaving the trunk, he must 'bring it back here. I bate the plan, for it not only gives trouble, but makes a lot of trickery about the young lady:that I don't like. And I was going to send down my books so nicely Conibund that man I" " Do you think she'll open it in her room ?" said little Myles. "Of course not, you blockhead," snapped Cyrus. "She hasn't the key, and besides, do you suppose she would open my trunk if she had r` The most astonishing surmises now ensued as to what would happen if so and so should be sound so, and when no possible combina tion of Unlbrtunate circumstances could be added to what had been already laughed over, they descended to puns. Some good and some very bad ones were made, and poor little Myles, after cudgeling his brains for the whole period of punning time, finished the perform ance by wishing to goodness that the man had been named "Cohen" when ho was alive, so that something might be said about m "trun cated cone." Nothing was bad enough to follow this, and so they got out the cards. The next morning Cyrus dressed himself in his best, and actually went to his washerwo man's house to get a white vest, if by chance it was done. It was about half past ten when he reached the lintel, and the clerk told him that Miss Birch had gone. "Done I" cried Cyrus. " Where could she have gone so soon!' The clerk looked very hard at him, and re plied, "How do I know where she went?" However, after Cyrus had explained how ho bad intended calling upon this young holy before she left for Baltimore, thus proving that he was properly aware of her destination, the clerk informed him that she had left, in com pany with an elderly gentleman, in time to catch the ten o'clock train. Cyrus went home in a state of utter bewilderment. Whets lie reached his room he found there a note—a note from Fanny, the • first he had ever re ceived : DEAIt Mn. DUIMAII,—TIIO telegram reached uncle last night, and Instead of sending me the money he came himself early this morning. I wanted to wait until you called and thank you for your kindness and your trunk (which I will take good care of); but uncle thought I bad bet. ter take the ten o'clock train, because that was the only train, until afternoon, which connected with the curs or end he thought the family would be worried ICI didn't get home until after my trunks arrived by express. Ile says be will leave this and stop and thank you himself. Yours Truly, F. On inquiry, Cyrus found that the note had been left by a gentleman just before he game in, who asked for him, but couldn'rwalt. Now what wax to be done I 4 Nothing,Xy: rus thought, but to write to his father, tell him the story, and get him to send over to Mr. Birch's for the trunk; and return It to Philadelphia by express. This course having been concluded upon, Cyrus wrote and mail ed a letter to his father. The rest of the day would probably have been spent by Cyrus in the enjoyment of raw ny's letter and his recollections of liar visit, had not his friends called upon him to know If he had got back old "Cohen" (for so they had baptized the "truncated" one, since little Myles's pun.) When they heard the rest of the story they were wild with delight, and the osseous jokes that were.made were worthy of the inmates of a madhouse. • "It's such a mean old trunk," said little Myles. "Nothing but. thinpackage.box any way, and I don't believe I locked it last time. I'll bet any man ten dollars that old Cohen's Out before this time." "They'll open it on too cars when they hear it rattle," said Seymour. "You know people can only take wearing npparel, and a skeleton is not wearing apparel—at least that one Is not wearing any." "If they think it's freight, and takes out it will result In fr(ghl," suggested Myles; and then, ns usual, the uproar stopped the joking. The next morning, About nine o'clock, just as Cyrus had finished his breakfast (got on credit from the grocery store where he dealt), be received a telegram. It was from Mr. Birch, and contained these words: "You are wanted here. Come on immediately." Cyrus clutched his hair, stamped his foot, clapped on his hat, locked his door, rushed round to Heiskill's, forced from him four dol lars and some seventy cents—all he had—and reached the Baltimore depot In time for the ten o'clock train. What his feelings, his fears, or his hopes were during the journey Is not to be put on paper. At two o'clock he had reached Baltimore. By half past he was on his way in the Martinville train to his dett. tination. Reaching the village, lie had no money or desire to hire a carriage, and so started out to walk as rapidly as possible the two miles and a half that lay between him and Mr. Birch's house. Arriving there, hot and thistered r he walk ed through the open door; and hearnig voices in the dining-room, walked quickly in and found a coroner's Jury 'sitting upon the re mains ()I' the unfortunate Cohen I • We will now relate the circumstances which led to this inquest. The trunk hail been ta ken to the hotel in safety, and Fanny, with her borrowed baggage near the foot of her bed, had slept the sweet sleep of an innocent maiden, without' being troubled by the ghost of her quiet room-mate. .Everything had gone on admirably, and she arrived at Mar tinville in good season, where her father was waiting for her in a buggy. He was surpris ed that she had brought another trunk, for her baggage had arrived early that morning•; but she explained the matter, much to his merri ment, and he ordered the station master (who was also express agent and several other things) to send the trunk after them in a wa gon. This the ,man promised to do ; but having taken two trunks up there that morn ng, and expecting no more Jobs for the day, his wagon was undergoing some repairs at the blacksmith's, and so he could not promise to send it much before nightfall. However, in an hour or two, along came Silas Hoopes, a peripatetic green-grocer and general vendor, who for hall the ordinary fee offered to take the trunk to Mr. Birch's. Ile was going that way, and was always glad of an excuse to stop any where on his route, even if It was not at the house of a customer. On the road Silas examined the trunk. "Well, I - reckon," said he, "I never saw such a common old trunk go to the Birches' afore this day. Shouldn't wonder if Miss Fanny'd been a-buying &insides up to Piny. It's light, too. Yes, that's so ; I thought it rattled when I put it in ; I don't doubt It's shells, or a sewln'-machine. 'Tain't locked neither—only strapped. They might as well 'a locked it, for here's a hasp' and all. I don't expect It's much, any how, or it 'tul 'a been locked." A slow drive of a quarter of a mile now fol. wed. "0' course, there's no harm Just lookin' in, when it ain't locked nor anthill. Every body else Las looked, I'll bet." Jutit alit tie ahead was a turn iii the road, tut a large tree at the corner with a nice hit f smooth grass under it. It was just the lace 11)r Silas's horse to rest and cool off a little ; and so the old man drew up there. Then he whistled a little and looked about him carelessly. Then he stood up and looked around carefully. Then. he unstrapped the trunk. Then he Whistled a few bars more, and raised the lid. On the other side of a pretty thick hedge of cedar trees and blackberry; bushes was Squire Curtis with his gun. He had been watching for a shot, but when he saw Silas stop and stand up to view the country he watched Si las. Ile had long suspected the old chap, and what Was he. going to do now.! "Oh ho ! open a trunk, eh I and not his either, or Ile'd wait till hetillrot_homa _ So. softly the hedge 'came Squire Curtis, and the instant Silas opened the trunk the Simko had him by the collar. The yell which Silas gave when Mr. Cohen languidly stuck up his two attenuated legs, which had been tightly doubled up in the trunk, was only equalled by the snout from Squire Curtis. The horse started ; Silas fell backward out of the wagon ; the Squire stood like a man of marble ; and away went the wagon, At ith Cohen's legs dangling carelessly over the end of the trunk. "Whose is that ?" snit! the Squire, when his voice came to hint. ",NEr-r.r—llireli's," chattered pour old Sihur. - ‘"l'llat's a lie," said the Squire. "Ile's not lead, I know. What have you been doing I" Silas then explained that lie knew nothing but that the trunk was to go to Mr. Birch's; and who the . "corpse,r was, bless his soul and body, he knew nothing about it, but it might go to—any place, fire nil he would touch it ; and upon this he was for cutting across the fields to la's home. But the Squire seized him, anti (breed hint to hurry on lifter the !terse and wagon. They Caine up with it Just as it reached Mr. Birch's gate . • ' and as Silas would not go near the wagon, t he. Squire hail to seize the horse's head and Urn hint into the -ard. It is useless to endeavor to describe the scene which took place ,in the happy family on the portico upon the advent of Mr. Cohen. Shrieks, fainting-tits, shouts to take it away, and a general scene of horror and confusion which had never been known in that part of the country, was succeeded by the exodus, on Mot, or in some one's:arms, of all the women, and a council of the men. 'Sliaslold Mk - Story, nut omitting in his fright his sin of curiosity. Mr. Birch,. Who- -wed up stairs to ;question Fanny, and only discovered that else knew nothing, and that it must have got changed oil the cars • and "Olt 1 please never mention it again I Oh dear ! Oh dear I" It was finally concluded to put the remains of the "murdered man" in the stable for the night ; and the Squire, who was the coroner for the county, declared his intention of sum moning a jury in the morning. That night, however, Mr. Birch, who thought that Mr. Durham might be able to explain this (though how he knew not), sent the telegram. When Cyrus appeared before the jury, told the history or the skeleton, showed how all its Joints and separate and individual bones were neatly joined and articulated by means of wires, and pulled from his pocket the, bill and receipt of the skillful artificer who had prepar ed the specimen, the 'jury found a verdict "Died of some cause unknown." Cyrus then repacked Mr. Cohen, and sent bins by one of Mr. Birch's men to the station, to await orders ; taking care this time to lock the trunk. Mr. Durham did not go over to his father's house right away, but staid to supper. Fanny was still very nervous, and he walked out into the garden with her to explain it all fully ; and he explained it all to such 1111 extent that she agreed, before the conversation closed, that when she travelled in the future it should be with him, and they bolls should have the scone trunks. THE . GRAIN CROP---AT HOME AND ABROAD. A correspondent of The' London Times, writ ing from Hungary on the Bth of July, says that "if this year's production of grain proves smaller, it is more than made up by the stores remaining from last year, which amounted to one-fifth of the crop.' l The London Telegraph df July 9, in an editorial, says "the prospects of both wheat and barley upon the principal corn-growing areas of England certainly indi cate deficient production ; our merchants and speculators are operating In the northern con tinental ports and In the Levant, and inquir ing also in the markets of France. Large im portations will be wanted."., The Mark Lane Gagne of the 12th — says - the recent - brilliant sunshine on that island "comes too late to al ter the character of this year's crop, which cannot by any possibility equal that-of 1898, while the first gatherings. In France show an , inferior weight and greatly deficient yield ; but oatspromise.great abundance, and the quality will be Mccellent." Alderman Medd, in a letter to The Times, dated the 14th, re marks that "no doubt the four million acres of wheat crop will be in quantity and quality much below that of last year, and perhaps un der average; but the22l - mUlionsaf acres of permanent pasture, and the .ten .millions of acres of root andgreets crops, will be very greatly in excess of 1808." .AdvicesfiSm the North-Western States indicate a large wheat ROBERT 'BEDELL, JR., Vain nub irrinctl 2ioli Witter, No. 47 EAST HAMILTON STREET, ELEGANT PRINTING, NEW DESIGNS LATEbT STYLES • Stamped Checks, Cards, Circular& Paper Books.

The conclusion to Which all this information may lead the farmer seems to be that we are to have a year of cheap and abundant fond everywhere. The California surplus was never so large. It will be wafted dlbect front the wharves of San Francisco to the Liverpool docks. This, with what she cad obtain from 'the ports of ie Baltic and Black seas, consid ering the largeness of her oats and root crops, will prevent England from calling loudly on our North-Western States. The Month, since the days when Washington was a wheat grower, has never come so near producing all her own food and enjoying a wholesome sense .of independence of the North-West. The. manufacturing States will of course re quire their bread from the West, and the West will be only too glad to furnish it at a 'price little above the cost of production. It seems to us that 1870 will require nicer and wiser calculation from the farmers of the North-West. They. have been running coun ter to some of the first laws of political econo my, but their vast area of land, at once rich and cheap, has enabled them, with the aid of the cutter-bar and the automatic raker, to avoid loss, and in some cases to win hand some profit. The wheat-growers of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, lowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin have been able to pay for farms and farm buildings by rolling their crop fifteen hundred miles to a shipping port, whence much of it was transported three thousand miles further. It is not in the nature of things for bread to travel forty-live hundred miles to a consumer. The Western farmers and mer chants see that screws are missing in their sys tem, and are consulting about it. Some be lieve that a reduction of duties 'of the canal navigation, and of the charges of railways and elevators, would cure the evil. Others propose St. Louis asthe great grain &niter, that city to be connected through the waters of Il linois and a canal 00 feet wide with Chicago. The true remedy lies beyond. The farmer who lives so far from the consumer of his sur plus must put his food in some more conceit tiltted form. Instead of sending such quanti ties of grain to the Atlantic seaboard, the I North-West States should ship East more flesh and cheese, more wool and butter. At present, substantial farming languishes at the East because the Yankee cultivator says, "I cannot compete with those men who plow up a black prairie that costs than a dollar and quarter an acre, and harvest a splendid crop with such tools that one man can do the work of six." There is another serious and lasting mischief in this wide spread of wheat. It is a royal, grain, and taxes the soil after it kingly sort. When the Western surface is first in vaded the settler finds a store of the most del icate and precious plant food—potash left there by annual burnings, phosphoric acid front ages of antecedent animal life, and the delicate but evanescent humus and ammonia front decay of organic forms. At first this teeming soil will give hint 35 bushels to the acre, and, with wheat at $1.50, a few days' labor to an acre gives him a return of, PO. This is brilliant, and he asks the generous soil to yield him her fatness again, and again, and again. What must ibilow overyhody can see. There is not in our national agriculture tisail der Met than the rapid decline in the produe- tive power of the Western States. For be it remembered that inability to grow wheat means feebleness for all the more important demands upon a soil. A fresh surffice, admi rable machinery, the derangement of a great war, the South impoverished, Europe hungry, have stimulated an excessive grain growth. But there are reasons why the decline in the price of grain will not be such as to alarm or dishearten the farmer. The sails of emigrant ships whiten the Atlantic Ocean, and their decks were never so crowded. They all want bread, and have money wherewith to buy. Kansas and Nebraska have a market brought to their doors by the Pacific Railroad. Where labor la.not difficult to obtain; nor unreasona ble in price, and where the expense of transit. from the place of production does not swallow more than a third of its value, wheat must continue to be a favorite, If not the leading crop with the American farmer. But the area on which our crop; grows has traveled westward too fast and ton flu•. Kansas and Minnesota give too much stater: to wheat— the Atlantic slope not enough.—N. Y.
