_with the air of one who felt
that he was no unwelcome partner, he

they danced off together.

'We will say pothing to him about it,'
I whispered - Reardon, t-. 43 low that his

warm blush, which invested her with a_

Just then the music ceased, and Rear

little ante-room adjoining the parlor.
'They have something beside cold

After, he was gone, two young ladies
approached the door , of the ante-room
and seated themselves where every
word of their conversation was audible
to Helen, although she was not visible
to them. - -
'Well, my dear,' said one of them,
presently, 'certainly indications point
pretty strongly to an approaching event
in'your family.'
'Pray explain yourself, Minnie, I
don't understand what y allude to,'
said the other, sharply.

Within a mains of - twenty Mikig of
Norfolk is the real garden of-the South.
Here is tide water, and here isa stretch
of country on winch one could Await
say that the sun never ceased to chine.
The farms vary in size from 80 to 800
acre:, with 100 acres to the average.
It is a grand sight to ride from Norfolk
among these big garden,. While the
land is saffiniontly elevated for drainage,
there are stretches seven or eight lapel
oog almost as level as a Soot. The
soil is wonderfully rich, and though it
luta been worked for a hundred years
past, it is only here snd there , that, a
spot-needs compost to renew its vigor.
The best farms or those briaging the
highest prices, are those having a; river
front. While they are no richer - Akan

and return.

fines himself to two or three cro may

city, will purchaser everything they can
raise. In a lair season,, taking the'
average variety of truck, a farm i of 120
acres will pay a profit of from $7O to $9O
per acre. They have paid even $l2O
per acre, and these lands readily bring
$l5O per acre when for any reaann, they
are for gale. • - -
The first lettuce, onions and ',scum
bers, come from North Carolina, but
Norfolk is only twelve or fourteen days
behind. All the early stuff is raised
under glass, and the high price it brings
in New York, offset the farmer for his
extra _trouble and expense. Long

A man who sees 175 acres of straw
berry plants hi one - unbroken field looks
upon a sight to be remembered. This
is the largest field in the South, - but
there are scores of fifty, sevehty-five
and one hundred acre fields in Eastern
Virginia. The owner of this big . field
last summer employed as ninny esl,7olfi
pickers at once, being mostly -women,
boys and girls, and a greater part of
them encamped close to the field. The
price paid for picking was two cents
per quart.
The first watermelons that reach New
York come by canal to Norfolk from
meput t s eVowgivtrizecA ir c aria%
folk the market to herself. Every truck
farmer pets aside a certain number of
acres each year for the growinglof this
fruit. Georgia is too far away, i to Bend
us ripe melons, and the distance makes
the price too high. Virginia can pick
melons one day and have theni in -the -
Northern . market the nei', and at suck_
prices as will `give them a ready sale.
The rule with some is seven hundred
hills to the acre, while others crowd iri
eight hundred.; If each bill returns ono -
good melon, the yield per acre is $64;
but each bill returns from one to four .
melons, which sell from seven to nine
cents each, and it easy to see whist profit
the grower mikes. •
Nearly every melon reaching Norfolk
comes by water: Such growers as do
not bring them in their own boats, sailed -
by their own crews, are furnished trans
portation by steamers which run up and
down in the season for the express
Pulse.
A great feature about this truck busi
ness is that every pentium is paid for
in cash as delivered. Every box of ber
rips, crate of cabbage or dozen melons
delivered at Norfolk is paid for on the
nail, and in return all farm bands and
berry-pickera aro certain of the money
the hour it is due. If there is any credit

at Norfolk and the sellers in ',the North

A Bzh Fain! Brom—The size of wes

the newspaper reporters have at last
got hold of the subject. The Brooklyn
Eagle reports a man who said ho owned
a farm in Dakota. This was the, inter-
view:
'We own some big farms up; there.
gentlemen. •A friend of mine owns one
which he had to give a mortgage on,
and I give you my word, the mortgage
was due on one end before they could
get it recorded on the other. You see;
it wee laid off in connties.'
There was a murmur of astonishnient,
and the Dakota man continued:
'The worst of it is, it breaks up
families so. Two years ago I saw a
whole family prostrated with grief;
women yelling, children howling and"
dogs barking. One of my men had his
camp truck packed on semen fonr•mule
teams, and he was bidding everybody
good-bye.'
'Where was he going ?' asked a
Gravesend man.
'He was going half-way zer oes the
farm to feed the pigs,' replied the Da

'Did he - ever get back to his family ?'
'lt isn't time yet,' replied the Da
