If he had had tif ty thousand dollart at hi command, he would atill have thrown it into the yawning gulf. But bo had not the fifty thouaand; no, nor fifty dollars. Need the reader be told tho sequel? The Great Trebeddon Mines proved a failure. Whether (Vom want of copper and tin, or from want of capital to disombowol tbatn, is of no con cquenue here ; they tailed, aud ruin overtook many ol those who bad connected thumaelves with them. The moat porfeca rain (ell upon Adam Grainger. Christmas was allowed to pass, and then all tho ill came rushing on at once. The bills be had accepted became due, and ba was sued I upon them; the report of the failure , of the mines flew about far and wide; I the landlord paid him a visit in tho I peculiar tasbion loved by landlord, ! and all the tradespeople camu down 1 upon him together. Aud so that wus the ending of the Great Trededdon Mines, and of tbobappinotsand pros1 purity of Adam Grainier ami his I home. If "Dine who road this would bot take warning for tliemsolvtal ! rnere are a lew aaoh achemea airnto ' notr. 1 mi$i In a short time after his failure, Adam Grainger, being reduced to poverty, came to tho horrible conclusion of oominittinir nnirido. Ho lont all oiiHdence in tho all-saving power of 1 hla Maker, and waa rtnahlo, like all 1 those who despair of hope, to bear np with hi fate Ills children and his Iwift looked to him lbr succor, and he, ; believing he would jnevor more be able to (five it to them, sit t'owu to j write them a farewell letter, asking l4otgivaaiN lbr the injury he was a bout doing thenv An ugly weapon of polished steel was at hia elbow, which he had toh ed troin hia bed chamber, lie wuh writing the lust words when u knock at the hoitbodüor was heard, and then his wife entrrod tho room, a couple of bottles in bor hand. He bad doomed i himself sah from interruption, and ho started liko a detected criminal as he threw his handkerchief over the ra-; aor. 'Adam, cried his wife, ''hero i a curious thing I Tho Claytons have I lent a present of lomo wine. u Claytons I' echoed Mr. Grainier, who are they.' 4:Tbe people who live up above, at Lime Villa. I waa talking to Mrs. Clayton tho other day , over her garden Kate, about her plants.' "Very strange! What should people scud wine to us for?' It does aoom stranue, but there cun be no mistake. Their servant brought it, with Mr. Clayton's compliments to Mr. and Mrs. Grainger, and begged they would use thoso two bottles of wine. We hoard ho wns a wine-merchant. We will open a bottle to-night." 'I toll you there must be some mistake, Murgaret. Strangers are not likuly to send wine to me.' "O, Adam, they aro kind-looking people; who knows but thev may have an idea wo are in want? I know it is all right.' 'People are not so romantic' Mrl. Graingor left the room, taking one of tho bottles with her. Ho hop cd she was gone for eome time, and turned to his journal to write a word of farewoll to her. "The clock havo chimed nine; in ton minutes, Margaret, your husband will havo ceased to oxiit. My lovo, my wife, forgive me! and you will, for on alone know how wretched has oen my oxistenee. Algernou! Isa- ; Ih.1 ! Caroline! Waltor! obey your in her in all things; and, when vou 1 grow up, cherish and support her better than I have boon able to do. I would steal up stairs and kiss farewell ( to you in your unconscious slumbers, but that my heart-strings would break with the effort. Margaret, when they aro of an ago to hoar it, pray to them fr forgiveness for their father; tell them it was for thorn, for you, that his sufferings became unbcnrublo. A I lone in the world, he could have borno . ami braved all. God bless you all 1 Marraret, my only love, farewoll forever: At this moment Mrs. Grainger suddenly relu -ned to the room, several things in her hands. "Look here, Adam, 1 have broken in the cork. That s the fault of the fork. What a many things we shall want when wo get into real housekeeping again ! Had any one offered mo a present of a cork-screw this morning, I should have declined as having no use for it.' Why. what are you going to do? be asked. "What s that hot water for? "To make some winv and water. I boiled it up on some of Jemima's wood. We shall reliah our supper of

dry bread now, but it was terribly dry before. We must dispenso with sugar, Adam. "I don t want any wine and wator,' he returued, speaking irritably, for ho was vexod at theae interruptions. "I have iomo writing to do, and wish to be alono.' 'Do your writing to morrow. Wo will keop festival to-night. It ii not often wo have wine to keep it on. What a rich treat after our wretched day!' ülomething called her from the room again. In his infatuation he determined not to loso a moment, flo lifted the handkorohiof and seiaod the razor. Still not in time, for her hand waa hoard too soon upon the handle of the door. Ho daahed the dangerous woapou back again with a muttered word, it might have been a curso; and, taking up tho bottle, shook it a bout, and preteuded to ba looking through it; anythiug to hido his confusion, coward that ne waa. She happened to glance at him, aa she sat down the glasses and some bread, and was startled. " Adam I how strange yon do look ! Quite wild! Are you ill? or liverish'.' "I think I am, he groaned, relinquishing the bottle, aud preiiing his hands upon hia templea. "Homo wino and water will do you good. Moke it, ploaae. It is all rea"Do you give wine for fever, Margaret?' "Yos, such fover as youn, which arises from want of support. Make it at once or the water will be getting cold.' Ue roae mechanically, and it is probable that his shaking hand may have poured moro wine into both glasaoe than hointondod. Mra.Graiugor silently added more water to hers, but he drank his, it seemed also mechanically. Suddenly sbi bunt out laughing. He looked up reprovingly, Tier gay mood did so Jar upou his nerves "Adam, I can t help it. I waa thinking, suppose the man should come for the wino back again, how foolish we should look !' "You aro gay to-night.' I urn so pleaeod at our delicious Upper. I wish Jemima waa not gone to bod. I would tuko her some; but she had a hard day 'a work, and waa tired. A.id for it to come ao unexpectedly ! Wo nover know what may turn up.' 'Or ouu hour what tho noxt may bring forth.' 7 She talked on, thankful to cast ahide, care for one brief moment, but hu ouly t huled at her sitting there with him. The cordial bad warmod him, had soothed his brokon spirit, and he leaned back in his chair, almost in onjoyment, but his fatal resolution ubatod uot one jot in its force. Honing to drlvo her from the room, ho kept iilence, and at Inst shut his eyes and feigned sleep. It succeeded, for she led tho room, and now theopportunity was come. He rose upright in his chair, determined not to lose it again. Yet he did puü for an instant or two. Hit thoughts were turning to chaos; all things of hia lifo seemed to eome before his sight, and yet nothing. He stootl on the confines of this fife, on the threshold of eternity; one minute more and he would have entered on its mysteries forever Etcrnityt . , Foreemr I Hi own art! He mad an effort to rid himself of the thoughts that were crowding on him. He untied his neckcloth, and it fell to the ground. Kven in that last moment do was conscious of this, und picked it up again. Ue was sick at heart Suspenso, dread, foar, overwhelmed him, shaking him with agony, as one In a convulsion. Yot, with ull this, thore wai no repenting, no turning (Vom his self-willed doom. Now or never!' he muttered; "if

I hesitate 1 am lost 1" Lout He throw aside the handkerchiof, and took up what was under it. He raised his hand. One convulsive shuddor, and Adam Graingor's spirit passed into another world. But to what had ho hastened ? O, horror, horror ! Tho pen cannot write it; words cannot utter it; living, waking beings cannot imagine itMercy, mercy, upon him and alt sucb! To bo dead, and yet alive; tobe In the next world, yet awak to what wit passing in this; surrounded by woe unutterable, aud hope gono forever! O fool, fool ! he had talked about 'despair.'' of "hope deserting him;" the film hud fulleu from his eyes now. As a grain of sand to tho dosert, a drop of water to the ocean, was the duration of his mortal oxistenee in comparison with eternity. And he had refused to encounter its short lived trials; he had shrunk from the in significant frowns of the race around him, suffering, weak, finite beings like himself, and rushed into the presence of his outraged Creator. Did ho think to gain ncavon by his mad exit? O, short-sighted man! O. awful, awful! Adum Grainger had passed by his own act from time to eternity, and the wide flood-gates of retribution were thrown back, and tho waters of ropontuuee came rushing on to his sonl. Hewrithod and struggled with the torrent, but on, on it came, and surrounded him. Repentance such as we can feel; what was it to bis ? He strove to tear himself in his anguish, to curso himself for his rash presumption, to howl aloud in his sharp torment; but he darfd not kneel in prayer to God! that privilege he had forfeited forever. And, alas ! bow short-sight-1 had been his wisdom ! for, behold, there, at a little distance, was a bright cloud, no bigger than a speck, and he saw that it had boon coming toward him, charged with relief ana recompense. Sow it was arrested in its way, and Waa vanishing into the air,

' for he himiclf had rendered its misi sion futile. i He stood in the spirit, and watched ! them as they crowded to view tho i lump of chiV which he had oast aside;

their comments though whispered but in tho heart , w ere loud enough to him. When, tho tirst shock of pity post, dastard ! wiukedl wore the best names they gave him. To deaert his wile ana cuildrou I to abandon their helplessness to a world which he had tbund so stem! His sons, wanting the guiding hand of a lather, might grow up degraded asen; his daughters to what in life he would not have dared to glanoe at. Woe, woe, uuuttorable woe! Woo and torture upon his soul, by day and by night, until the hour j of hi doom I They brought it in H Insanity , and the scanty iuiieral left the houao lbr the ehureii. bearing the remains to the place where they were to inolder. He lollowed in ita wake. He saw, now, the utter mockery of tho pomp and pride sometimes made to attend the uead. The decorated heads of the stately horses; the velvet trappings sweeping tho ground; the majestic plumes rising over the death carriage, tue tram of attendants, carriages aud trappings still again, a long line of thorn, ttcoffiu emblazoned witu enough silver to tempt the cupidity of the living, while wuat it contains, that tor wuich the show is made, is more loathosome than anything above the earth or below it. but where 's the spirit? Following, as his waa. The curate read tho services for the dead , little Ibar that any highor dignitary would attend to bury such a u "Forasmuoh osit hath pleaeod Almighty God of his great meroy to take unto himself the Boul of our dear brother here departed, we therefore commit his body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure hope of the resurrection to eternal life" He tore about tho church in dire distress; ire cannot picture such; he would have scroamod aloud, but that sound was donied him; he would havo dished himself with frintio violence against the tombstones; all in vain. I 1 1 1 1 1 the day of judgmont his punishment wte confined to mental torture, alter ward In his convulsive throes he swept by Algernon, and the boy shuddered aud sobbed; was he con soious that aomo blighting influence waa close to him? 0 tbit he could undo his work I He had talked of "tasting tho quiet of the grave." Thero wai no grave ; the body he had east oil" had t he grave, not the apirit. The space around wai of an awful immensity, beyond human comprehension; its color a dull, gloomy load. On its confines appeared a glimmering of shining; fight, telling of the realms ho had lost, and of Him who mado their brightness; and whenever hii vision encountered that spot, a dreadful foar shattered him, such as wo can only experience in a dream. The living God wee there; the God whom ho had rojoctod; and ho know that ho must yet be brought before Him for judgment. But notyet; not, aa it seemed, forages; and, until then, ho was doomed to whirl unceasingly about, his horrible remorse tearing at his heart-strings. But it appeared that somo power was impelling him toward that bright spot now. He struggled to ronist; to benr back; no I nearer and uoarer it urged him. "It is not time," he scroamod; "it is not time !" And with a yell, aa of madness, he AWoki ! He awoke. Thoae horrors, which had visited Adum Grainger, had been hut u dream. When lie hail leaned his head back in hii chair to feign sleep, hoping so to get rid of tho presence ol his wife, sloop had, indeed, mercifully overtaken him. The large drops of agony stood upon bis brow. He shook, as with an ague, from head to loot lie was still in uncertainty; was all tuit real, or had he, indeed, not lost heaven? Mrs Grainger, who had been watching him, during his sloop, now cume forward. "Margaret I Murgaret ! " ho hoarsely oxcluimed, "which is reality? Am I here by your side, a living man?" "I don't know what can have boon tho matter with you," she anawered. "Yon went to sloop just after drinking the wino and water, and I think you must have had a troublosomo dream, a nightmare. You havo been so much disturbed in it; and you awokowiih a positive scream." He shook and shivered still, staring in affright. Notyet could he take in tho mercy that hud been vouchsafed to him. "Adam, look here. I took up your handkerchief to throw over your head, and there lay your raaor; what did you bring it down lbr?" "Margaret, that raaor " Helookod at her and stoppod for utter unce. The truth flashed on her mind, and she cried out with a wild cry, as she throw herself on her knees before him. "0, Adam, what frightful project is this? We havo borno much, we can bear more; wo can bear all. can, while you are left to me.'' Ho was now weeping tears of relieved agony, thankful for the dreadful vision which hud savod him from such a fate, "You have destroyed my peace of mind," ihe wailed. "With tbii fear hanging over me, I shall never know a moment's rest. "I was about to destroy myself, Margaret; I avow it now. And God saved me by a droam; nay, a vision. I thought I had done it, and the horror' He stoppod and shivered again: She clasped him tightly. -Tell me it, Adam."

"I cannot tell it you. No human words could convoy an impression of its horrors. But it hii saved my soul." "You will boor all in future, as you havo done, without a thought of lifting your hand again! yourself ? You promise me?' "Ay, Margaret; boar all and woleomo all. No matter what it may bo, it will bo to mo a heaven, after what 1 havo escaped from. How long did 1 sleep ' "Half an hour.' "Halfan hour!' he ejaculated. " All that dread horror in ouly halfen hour ! "Adam," she said, in a low voice, "this must havo been a very foarful dream." "Ay. Although it came from God!" Sevoral years passed away . By hou eat industry and trust in God, the necessaries first, and then the comforts of litb were secured. On tho anniversary of tho dreadful day, the children were all asiemhlod. A feiit waa provided. "Children, sit down and enjoy it," said their father. This day is the anniversary of an eventful ora in my life, and I would keep it aa one of thanksgiving." "What event was it?" aikod the children. "One by which I was in great peril.' "Peril of your life?' ' inquired the eldeat boy. " Yee, Algernon, in peril of my life!" 'And who savod you?' "One that willsavo all who apply to Him." "Ah, you moan God. Tell ui about it, papa." "It is not of a nature fitted for your 3 ears. You shall hear itwhen you aro mon and women." "Did mamma know it?" "Mamma did." "And ii it a year ago to-day?" "It ii several yoars ago." "I know," cried the dancing Cary. Papa was run over." "No; Caroline, 1 was not'run ovor. I think you stand most banco of oncountering that calamity, if you fly

about so heodleeely. "Papa, I expect it was during tho time wo mere ao poor. How very poor wo wero! You don't romouiber much about it," added Algernou, turning to his brotheri aud siatera. "Tdo," aaid laabel. " Ay, children, mauy'a the morning 1 have got up, and did not know wbero to gut you a bit ol broad Give mo your hands, dour children, and übten to mo. 1 am about to apeak to you very seriously, and 1 wish yon never to forgot my words. You havo spoken, Algernon, of the poverty we were in, but you cannot understand half its misery, half its embarrassmont. It lasted so long that I rashly concluded 1 wus forgotten by God; my heart, crushed with misery aud wouriod out, wus almost brokon. my spirit quite. 1 waa tempted to aba nüon all, to to" bore bo put his hands upou hii totnploi ' to abandon you, my childrou; but a aiugulor ovent showed mo my error, aud led me to bolter thoughts. I no longer imagined I could not bear any ill which might be my lot to boar; but resolved to no so, aud I found that this resolution took away half its hardship. 1 recalled ono of the promises your mamma bus often read to you, which 1 had chosen to forget; t hut ui our day is, so, if we will it, snull our strength do. From that time I no longer gave way to despair, but struggled on, doing my very best in reliant trust antl hope. And you see, my childrou, you know how wo have boon brought through we havo regained all we had lost, oven former friends. Content, plenty, uud peace uro ours, and those duys aro remembered but as a drcum." ArjRICtJLTURAL TRUTH. Tho following statements will bo found correct as to the soils undor cultivation: 1. All lands on which clover or the grussos are grown, must either havo Mino in thorn naturally, or that mineral must be artificially applied in the form of stone, lime, or marl. 2. All pormunont improvement of lauds must look to limo as its baii. 3. Lands which have boon long in culturo will bo benefitted by the application of phosphate of lime, and It is unimportant whether the deficiency bo supplied in the form of bone dust, guano, nativo phosphate of lime, or marl, if the lands need lime alone. 4. No lands can bo proserved in a high state of fertility; unless clover iud tho grasses aro cultivated in tho course of rotation. jsVTherois, as tho Baltimore Amroican says, moro opon, undisguised rascality in the following advertisement, cut from tho New York Herald, than is often found in the same space: Merchants embarrassed, in want of means, or willing to suspend with means, by financiering, can to the amount of $80,000 without prejudice. Address 105 Hersld office. Kef erance given. "Willing to suspondwith means by financiering!" What a gentle phrase for cheat no' croditors and pockotinir the money of other.
