Our girls omasionally visited. the In-

that she was as welcome, as Harriet.
Henry Doster had seen them seldom, and
not at all since he had first gone to oollege.
One, day, when he had been -in the village
several weeks, Mrs. Ingram, happening to
enter one of the stores, 'mot at the door
Harriet May, who was about to return
borne in the family gig, in which her brother
had brought her.
. "Caught yoa at last," said Sdre.Ingram,
" just as you were about to steal off. What
have I done to all you people that not - one
of you has darkened my doors in weeks on
weeks? Will May, you may just go home
by yourself, and tell Aunt Mertha I kept
Harriet and carried her home with me,
that being the only way that I could get
her there. You young folks ought to be
ashamed of yourselves for not ceiling on

" Why, Cousin Emily," answered Har-
riet, looking down at her plain gingham,
" I couldn't stay to -night. I jest came to
town to get some things for ma, and—"
"Yon needn say you can't, for I say
you shall; and if Will is too busy With the
plantation work, or rather with his hunt-
ing and running, about, to come for you in
two or three days, I'll get Mr. Ingram to
take you, or I'll sena yoa in the carriage."
" Stay, Harriet, if you'd like," said Will.
" I'll come for yon whenever you say. You
needn't be troubled about your dress. That's
good enough for kinfolks and a preaoher,
Methodist at that." ,
" Methodist at filet I" retorted Mrs. In.
gram. "1 wish meg were as geodes Henry
Deaner ; and if you didn't think so mach of
your own good looks, you'd wish you were

Now do, my dear Will, you and Hiram,
pleage make anat. call soon on Mr. Doster,
and tell Ellen as yon go by there that if
she has anything against Emily Ingram,
that respectable lady would like to -know,
as soon as convenient, what it is; and you
tell her further that if she does not come to

I'll bring her up te-morrow in our carriage.
Maybe I'd better be with her when she
meets the Doster that's so awfully good-

"1 didn't so describe him, you conceited
fellow. I only intimeted that some people
might dare to think him handsomer than
even you. Well, off with you. Good -by.
My love to aunty and all the Joyners."
"How did you girla like the young

" Ohnina, I wae glad Cousin Emily kept
me, although I felt not quite comfortable in
an everyday frock in pregenoe of a young
man so well dressed and so cultivated.
However, the next day, when Ellen brought
me another, I was already at ease."
"Yea n Ellen sent me wordily Will that
she was going to join you .at Etnily's, and
suggested that you might like me to send
you something."

his little sweetheart in all ways within the
limit of impunity. In neither cam had
been that ardor of pursuit which is always
becoming, and which is almost 'always
necessary with neon girls as Harriet and
Ellen. Therefore, when aourtship began
to be avowed, the men were sarprised, and
Hiram indignant, though muoh frightened,
When, their proposals were checked by the ,
girls who said, smiling, that, having been
confined at school so long, they must have
rest of indefinate duration, with as much
freedom and fun in it as possible. They
were lovely girls. None knew that fact
better than Hiram and Will, and, I may

manners as he had his former, apparently
not noticing that they were different from
what he might have been better pleased to
see. His visits, especially at the oeynere,
continued as theretofore, infrequent and
Beamingly, if not really, aooidental. Several

but it was near the end of the sprintebefore
he made his long -promised visit to Tom.
Thia °conned only a few days after a call
which Hiram, responding to many suggest-
ions from both families thereto, had made
upon him. -
Daring the sojourn of a couple of days
the cousins paid a visit together to the
Mays and Joyners. The easy courteone.
ness of the preacher made a good impreste
ion on the mothers. Mint Joyner, a much
more ardent 'partisan of Horeb than Mrs.
hlay, said thee she could ,notabut wonder
and be sorry that such a fine, bright young
man could. ever have become a. Methodist
preacher. ' Will and Hiram, as in their
mothers' presence they must, behaved with
'decent hospitelity, although Ellen thought
her brother might have made fewer
allusions to the profession of the principal
visitor, and perhaps Harriet would have
been more pleased if Will had been less
punctiliously gracious.
,, Two remarkably fine young women,
Tom," Henry said when, having parted
from the Joyners, they had mounted their
horses .for the return. " I wonder you
haven't fallen in love with one of them.
Indeed, I em inclined to suspect yen have

you had rather more to say to her than to
the other."
Tora laughed and answered: "Yes, they
are very fine girls; but I've never indulged

courage by whioh he was now Iasi:need. In -
creased freedom of speech was noticeable
at both houses, particularly when one or
both of the young men were present. It
looked as if he meant to show that he felt
himself to be any man's equal in whatever a
man may strive with honor to achieve; re -
grading the risers and dangers at what they
were worth, no less, no more. Always

was plain that he had decided to be

whenever in their society. He saw the
girls always when they were in town, and
several times within the Bence of a few
weeks had visited them at home, sometimes
with Tom, more often alone. Though little
used to the sonety of young evomen, the
instincts of a true lover who had been born
and reared a gentlemen taught him at onoe
all the manners he needed. Before the

course he would pursue if he should' be con-

for it. But William May, outspoken
always, determined to find oat if possible
at least how far Harriet was interested in
Tom. One day, after returning from one
of the fields, having met Tom, whe had
just come out of the house seeming in con-
tented humor, he said to his sister:

the Razorbaolo-up which every partial° of
maChinery for Monnt Morgan had to be
brought, we reached the newly -formed
• - •
mining township. Scattered about among
the trees ' •
es were tents of venom desoriptione,
huts, huts of corrugated iron and.
,
wooden houses. In a central position were
two hotels, some etores or general shops, a
church in process of construction, a eohool
and ' an Odd -fellows' hall. There are
already about 5,000 inhabitants, and the
object which has attracted them all is st
conioal-shaped hill about 500 feet in height
above the water level, and with nothing, so
far as outward appearetioes are concerned,
to distinguish it, from numerous other well -
wooded hills which surround it.
At the foot or the mountain is one set of
works which are daplioated about half way
up it. Seine two hundred feet from the
top a tunnel runs in for about 700 feet when,
11 13 met by a shaft down' which the 'stone
is sent Is • isthen brought through, the
'
tunnel in small nude.. and shot down If
slide to *lee .upper ' works, While a cable
tramway supplies the lower works. At the
top of the mountain is a regular quarry
where some five dozen men are occupied in,
blasting and qaarrying the stone. Fifty-
twoneet have already been out away, and
they are now working at a seoond bench.
The preponderating stone is a kind of blade
ironstone with no appearance of gold what -
ever, yet it yields ae much as five and six
ounces to the ton. Some of the stone fe
reddish, and looks as if it might ciontain
copper, while here and there is a bank of
yellowish sand which yielde 11 ounces to
the ton. Formerly the • ore was treated by
the ordinary battery and quicksilver
amalgamation process, but the geld ia so
finely distributed through the stone that
most 01 11 was lost, and the tailings are being
treated with satisfactory remelts by the
onlorination process which' is now in use at
the mine.
Under this prooese the ore is firat crushed
by powerful machinery and reduced,to fine
sand. It is then roested in ft:tenet:me, and
when cooled is placed in the chlorination
barrels and sunjeoted to the action of
ohlorine gas, which dissolves the gold, and
it flows out in a fluid, the color of sherry,
into large vats. It is then placed in cher-
coal filters, and the gold adheres to the
charcoal beds, which ' are giabseqetently
roasted in, a reverbatory fternacis until
nothing is lett but an ash containing 75
per cent. of metallic. gold. The workei
which are lit throughout by the eleotrics
light, are kept constantly going night and
day. Nine huedred men are employed and
work. in three shifts of eight hours each. .
The expenclitare of wages is $100,000 per
annum; 4,000 tons of firewood are burned
per month, and the output of gold is
about a ton per nnonth. If the works were
stopped for a single day lei would mean a
loss to the iharehtelders of 44,000.

on which all doctors are agreed is "when
you have the inninenza, go to bed and stay

would not commit the imprudence of going
out and exposing themselves to the cold—if
they would take cafe of themselves, and,
