She's very careful, when I'm gone, to tend to all the chores, But nothing prospers half so well,;when I go go off to stay, And I will put things In shape when I get home to-day. The mornlu' that I came away, we had little bout; I cooly took my hat and left, before tho show was out. For what I said was naught whereat she ought to takn offense ; And she was always quick at-words, and ready to commence, But then sho's llrst ono to give up, when she has ha heOay ; And sho will meet me with a kiss, when I go home to-day.

Thorewas not muoh to explain, only that on being swung Into the doorway, where they Btood ollnging together, the tide of the little war Boon ebbed awny from where they were, and they were able to escape al most unnoticed from the other end of the street, wandering on till they en countered one of the police, who gave them instructions, after hurrying them along part of their way, and then left them to procure help, with the result'WeJhavo seen. "We can never bo sufficiently grate ful to you, Mr. Dawson, for your bravo defense of two strangers," said Mrs. Adams, pressing his hand warmly. "Well," said Dawson, In a quiet, nonchalant way, "I don't know that it was much to do. I'm like your man Larry I like a fight." As he spoke he glanced hastily to ward Mary Adams; but she did not look in his direction, although he had enunciated his strange declaration to tempt her to speak. "lam sure my sister is as grateful as I am myself," said Mrs. Adams, glancing in a surprised way at Mary, who now looked up for a moment, and met Dawson's dear, sharp gaze, be fore whioh,her eyes Jell, and she said, quietly, "lam very grateful to Mr. Daw son." "Perhapsryou'll just begin to talk gratitude, too," said Dawson, grimly, as he turned to Adams. "It makes a man feel so uncomfortable just as if he were being rubbed down with prai rie thistles. Why, what a fuss you all make! Wouldn't any man have donejustthe same? Not much ofa man," he added, in an under-tone, "if he wouldn't." He rose then with quite Old-World polite'ness, for Mrs. Adams and Mary were leaving tho room ; and eoou af ter Adams and his now friend were alone.- "Nice place this, ain't it?" said Dawson beginning to smoke. , "Nice placet" said Adams indig nantly. "I shall never rest till I've left it fifty miles behind." "But I wouldn't be in too great a nurry," said Dawson. "Hurry too great a hurry?"

He looked in a droll way at the young former as he spoke, and the other held out nis hand. "I beg your pardon Dawson," he said warmly. "I did misjudge you. I came a perfect stranger, and I wa9 suspicious of every one I met." "Of course, and the best way, too,' said Dawson laughing. -1 might have been a regular sharper for aught you could tell. But you don't think I'm one now?" "Dawaon," said Adams, warmly. "I shali never forget the aervicejyou have done me and mine." .H:if yeu bTt mc&4 up.- !WtM yoarixrieaa-ir-at HumreM9ftnteKt&8r. of us. But never mind that now. Tell me this how have you got on at the land-office?" "Weli," Baid Adams, "t've nearly made arrangements for a plot, which they tell me is in a very rioE district, and I am to go to-morrow morning to settle about it." "Told you they couldn't give you a flnul answer becauso some one else was after the plot !" "Exaotly that is what they did say," replied Adams. "That's what they always do say," said gDawson smiling. "And they said if you would pay your deposit they would see what they could do ?" "Yes," said A'dams, smiling. "And you paid it?" "No. I had to get a letter of credit cashed, and I was'too late.J But I am going on'to-morrow." "Thenll am just in time," Ts'aid Dawson. "In time!'' said Adams, suspiciously- . "Yes, in time to stop you from fool ing away a iot of coin.Now look here, AdaniB, drop that doubting way of yours at once. I'm a fellow full of fallings, but I'm genuine. I never swindled but one man in my life, and him I have served out often, T do own his name is Dawson, Caleb Dawson his name is and he always took It very kindly. And now I want to talk to you about your plans. You want to go fo farming?" Adams nodded. "To make money?" Adams-nodded. againr-rsMg.

"What would you do then?" said Adams. "Join me, ""said Dawson, rising. "Join you?" "Yes ; join me. Look here, Adams, I took a fancy to you as soon as I saw you." "No, you did not," said Adams, dryly. "But I did, man I swear I did." Look here Dawson," Bald the young Englishman, "you Yankees are, I dare say. sharper than we are ; but, all the same, wo old country folk are not quite fools. Do you really think now that I can't 6ee through you?" "Well, there, I'll be honest," Baid Dawson, "with his sun-burned face glowing hotly. "You ore right you do see through me; and I dou't see why a man shouldn't speak out bold ly about such a thing. You mean I took a fancy first to somebody else." Adams frowned and nodded. "You are right, I did ; for, though I don't believe in all that love stuff talked about In books, I no Booner set eyes on her than I felt that she was a woman for whom I could go through fire and" water ; lay down my life for her if it was needed; be her dog, her Blave, If she would ouly give mo a kind look now and then ; and Say, Adams," he said after a pause, "what fool3 we men are !" Adams did.uot answer, but sat look ing surly and frowning "Well," coritlnued Dawson, "then I saw you ; and I said to myself, 'Ono man can do a deal, but with a mate like that whom ho could trust thro' thick and thin in getting money and guarding it, share and share alike in facing dangers together, in a fight per haps for life what a deal more he could do!' and I said to myself 'I'll see if I can't know him;' and here we are." Adams nodded again, but ho did not speak. . "Now look here," said Dawson ; "I want a friend and companion for what I am going to do. I did mean to start, and do It with my man ; but now Task you to join me." "And where are you going?" said Adams quietly. "Bight up into the mountains,. far away from the ordinary tracks, to where the mineral riches of the earth are waiting for a bold hand to be stretched out to grasp them, and en rich himself and those who belong to him, for life. Come with me, English man, and you shall be rich. We'll I cla'sp hands together and swear to bo true through thick. and thin, to fight one for the other, if needs be, and share all that we drag away from where it has Iain hid from tho begin ding of the world."

Not with lis to act as their guards," he said, earnestly. "Adams, man, it would be for their sakes if wo did it at all ; and the journey there should be like a pleasure trip we could be travelers, with our mules laden with provisions, and without need to hur ry. It is no trifle I offer to you." "Perhaps not," said Adams ; "but it sounds visionary and strange."

Man man, I tell you that this Is not your own old land, where the seasons come and go like olook-work, in a quiet old effete way. This country Is grand, and one where naturedoesnothlng by halves. The sun shines as Jit never shines with you ; and when it rains It rains in floods. Bah! let your farming go ; what could you ever do with your patch but plod along and barely exist?" "And what should I do with you?" Eaid Adams. "Look here said theother, lowering his voice; "if I asked you, Frank Adams, to go on a wild hunt up In those mighty regions, I should say that you were wise to refuse ; but I tell you, man, that I have definite in formation ofa valley where the silver .crops out of tho rock in great veins and blocks a place where for many years tho foot of man has not trod.

"Well," said Adams, growing in terested, for the other had stopped. "But one man of that party escaped, the rest being cut off by tho Indians, and ho led a life of slavery for full twenty years.

" He stopped short, after speaking el oquently and vell, apparently asham ed of his earuestness,;forhe subsided at once into a regular drawl, and said, "I reckon you Englishers have as much goin you as a watch without a mainspring." "It's a habit we have, friend Caleb Dawson, of looking before we leap." "Good plan enoughsometimes, but fa-ta? when an Indian's after you with his scalpiug-Iron. Best to leap then look afterward." "And.do you thoroughlyibolieve in all this?" eaid Adams, after sitting back thoughtfully for a time. "Believe in it? 'There, man alive, what am I o say to you? I can't preach.

But no word passed bisjlips till he re leased thojother's hands, Bank back in his seat, relit his oigar, and, now that all was settled, putting sentiment reside, ho exclaimed, in a matter-of- fact, nasal tone, "Let's liquor!" His hand was stretched out to reach the bell, when hej stopped .short and listened. Then he started up quick, but without a sound. "What was that?" ho said In a whlsperrJvnd bO'Cloaked -thB'Whisper, uuiiHW.Mmiw.j-M ..j-l ,' ",Whtwaamwhat!?A8ldMErank., lliSlaiJgIjf!ti'giJ?lf!aKT3a lon. "That noise," he whispered, begln ing to whistle. "I heard nothing," said Frank. "But I did," whispered Dawson, and ho set his teeth and held up his finger to command silenoe. Tho next momeut he leaned over to Frank, and whispered,- "These walls are liko so muoh pasteboard. Tho hotel is.only wood from top to bottom ; and I have been chattering liko a magpie about our projects, with some one playing, the spy. Adams.old fellow, tho game has begun ; ours Is to bo a time of trouble, I'm afraid brain "against brain, hand against hand ; so hore goes." Then making a sign to his friend, he whis pered, "Answer me aloud,ond make the answer long. By-the-way, Ad ams," he said, "before I ring' for the waiter, run over your list of paokages. Tell mo what you brought with you." Dawson rattled the match-box as ho spoke, struok a JUght, 'and kicked a spittoon along the floor, while, taking the cue from his companion, and see ing his aim, Frank began to go over the list of agricultural tools ho had bought what-seeds he had obtained, and men tioned how the wero packed, speak ing in a quiet, deliberate way, as he watched hiB compauian's motions. The room thoy were In was of pan eled pine, and'very slight. It was plain enough to both of them now that any?one wishingitolisten to their conversation might have heard the greater part by holding his ear to a crack, and have seen them merely by thrusting'Ia knife-blade through the panel of tho partition or door, nnd, what was more, they had the window wide open all the time. They both asked themselves how they could have beenEguilty of such folly, now it was too late and the question arose how far it could be counteracted. Dawson was right thero could be no doubt about thai. Tho firs't thing to bo done was to find out who was the spy, if spy there was; for he might be merely a prying knave, and no enemy, andjif so, their fears were wasted; but on the other hand, they might havejbeen followed to tho ho tel by ono of the scoundrels with whom they had come in contact, aud ip such a publlo place thero would be no difficulty In such an emissary find ing bis way up ;to the door of their room. Moving silently, while Frank kept speaking, Dawson crept along by the partitiou, carefully avoiding the choirs, so as to get round to the door, for it was from there that a faint creek or two bad come, and at tho end of a minute Frank became aware that there was more in Dawson's words tbad.ho had himself anticipated, for there was a faint rasping sound com ing very softly but unmistakably from one panel about breast high, and Frank knew 83 well as possible that some ono was busy "with a gimlet boring a hole cautiously through the door, possibly that the actor mlghtob tain a view of tlioso within. It was hard, work, to keep on lalk- YOE. 19 NO. 46. ing In a calm, unconcerned way at euoh a time, especially with the knowledge that ono is being watched, perhaps by more than ono eye, and that the object of the hole made in the door may be to enable tho scoundrel without to take a good aim at the per son within before taking revenge for injuries received by Bending a winged messenger made of lead.

And now, aa Dawson stood with one hand outstretched, eo qb to be within an inch of tho handle and drajr tho door open, the gimlet was withdrawn, and tho talking on the part of Adams became one whose difficulties were extreme : but his voio did not fall, and he kept his eyes fixed in another direction, knowing that he was watohed. and feeling at the some time an almost unconquer able desire to turn and see the- next proceeding on the part of Dawson. But the suspense was not of long duration ; for as Dawson's hand was justjabout toclose upon the handle, and ho had gathered himself up, so that by ono rapid motion ho could throw open tbo door and selz9 the eavesdroppertherejwas a faint sound without, then a tremendous crash, and a head was dashed right through the panel, whicbsplintored in rays, and catohing thelintruder rouud the neok, after the fashion of an eol-trap, effectually prevented all retrograde motion. Thero was a volley of oaths, the sound of blows.3 and Frank Ad- ams sianea iorwara in amaze,- as me owner of tho distorted countenance strove to get free. TO BE CONTINUED.

We are in possession of facts that will be an answer probably the record of the spring of 18(, succeeding the lost invasion. Colonel Theo. S. Case has been for many years In tho habit of keeping a diary of events, and yesterday we had the satisfaction of looking over his memoranda, and In them found nil about their doings in that spring and summer. Colonel Case was then liv ing wherp he now resides, near the cemetery between this oity and West port, and the entries made have ref erence to our own grounds. The rec ord is as follows : May 8, 18G7. Saw several swarmB of young grasshoppers. Said to benu merbus in vicinity. May 20. Saw many hundreds of minute grasshoppers. Have done no harm as yet. May 26. Grasshoppers growing a little, and eating the weeds. Juue 1. Grasshoppers thlok. June 2. Very numerous. Just' bo ginning to reaoh tho garden. Done no harm yet. Captured 350 on one small weed. June 3. Grasshoppers Innumera ble. No harm done yet. June 5. Innumerable grasshoppers In garden. Eating cabbage lettuoei parsley, etc. June 6. Eating beans, cabbage, grapes, potatoes, etc June 7. Grasshoppers havo taken about half the garden. Juno 8. Havo eaten 250 oahbages, and all the radishes and lettuce on tho place. Also most of the beets and onions. Have not touohed peas, tomatoes, or corn. Juno 9. Eating strawberries n lit tle. Juno 11. Grasshoppers worse than ever. June 12. Have eaten all tho beets and carrots in thefie!d. Juue 13. Onions lu the garden all gone corn and peas going fast. June 14. Grasshoppers finish field onions. June 15. Grasshopper less numerous to-day. Juno 18. Grasshoppers searcer but still abundant. June 23. Thicker again. Eating fruit tress and evergreens. June 25. Grasshoppers beginning to fly away very high In the air. Juno 28. Leaving rapidly Juue SO. Grasshoppers eating corn, cutting down stalks one and one-half inches in diameter. Also finishing up tho pumpkin vines. July 1. Have eaten replanted beans before they wero out of the ground flying over in vast numbers becom ing much searcer here. July 8. Have eaten the leaves of most of tho pear trees also cutting the cherry trees, but not eo badly. July 13. Necrly all gone. This is the lost entry in regard to the festive insect, ttnd we may con clude the last of him in this locality. We thus find that from She time first noticed in his minute form until finU disappearance was sixty-six days. It was twenty-tight days from the lime of discovery before thoy com menced destroying vegetation, or as tho diary hos it "doing harm" nnd thirty-eight days thereafter before they finally disappeared. From these data calculations may be made as to '.vhat we may expect this year. The young grasshopper this year was dis covered a w ek ago, so that the brood now out may be expected to leave about tho middle of June, but hatch ing is a matter of locality those on open ground or on hill-sides with a sonlhcrn exposure comming'first. The spring of 1867 was backward, as Colonel Case has a record of tho ground being covered with snow on tho 2d day of May. RTISEEi a.W.rAIIUJBOTMl. T.aUACKEB. FAIIIBROTHER& II ACKER J. Puhllsliers &.

Peter Compton, tho wife of an invalid husband and mothor of sever al children, is descended from tho old farmersjof Havana, a weirknowrj and uot rich, yet a respeatablo stock. A womanof sound, uncultured intellect, she married a carpenter,"-and on his permanent failure in health fourteen years;agoand their.'snbsequent desti tution of other resources, Bhe support ed him and their numerous childrdn by washing the clothes and scrubbing tho houses of their neighbors. Two years ago Mrs, Compton was developed into a full blown spiritual medium of the most vonder-working kind. Her own body ohanges Into strangeother, andjsometimes beauti ful bodies, according to whatoverspir it takes possessionjof her. Sho may be fastened to ajcabinet in any man ner, the cords are loosened, not culor untied, the nails are tSkenout, and a new being walks forth, man, woman or child, anoient eago or modern sav age, and tho new person walkaabout, talks, can be felt of, shaken hands with, patte.d on the shoulder, nnd meanwhile thero Is not to be found on this earth the body of Mrs. Peter Com- ton Tho oaoinet j8 empty no Mrs Compton, nor hericlothes. POSSESSED OF A DEVIL. Dr. Newbrough procured some shoemaker'stbread, gand the man who was waxing tho ends" for him said they would bo of no use, for sho waspossesspjdofa,devil?rIrJNw' brouzh ua-ed'them. however. ' J3HTJ- .f J . . . t ,s so procured nana wuttousuoaos m; so fine that thd!ufoc&rafiird'inoh "holdfbfwsthetdi andjil:U.tUH&ly nailed her gown all around tha bot tom to tho floor. Out of tho cabinet walked a strange and Gne lady, of different stature, compleslonyandmanners from the plain, tho homely washerwoman, who, a few minutes before was nailed to the floor in antlalpaca gown. Dr. Newbrough rushed to the cabinet. It was empty; his nalld were nowhere visible, and his waxed ends had also evaporated. Tho new lady's dress was a brown, summery texture, that looked as though It might have been made on a material loom. Dr. New brough said to the ghost: "Kind la dy, I have a'palr'of remarkably sharp solssors In my, pocket. Will you ob lige meby fallowing me to clip a sou venir from you lobo?" The beau ti- Lful being smiled on him graciously, but answered: "NOTHINO TO WEAR." "My medium has but one gown. If you cut a piece out thero will, be a. hole In it, and shoj.will bo entirely destitute."- , "But," porsfsted tho doctor, "I will see that she has money to buy anoth er gown." "Ah, myjdearslr," sadly answered tho beautiful spirit, "perhaps you would, but I do not know It. For Mr Storerand Mr. Olcutt of Boston were here, and they both and many others, said they would do something to re lieve the poverty of our medium, but they have not, and I cannot let you out a piece out and make a hole in her only gown." After the beautiful lady stepped away, and after a six-foot tall ghost had como and gone, and no more gho3ts would bo evoked, Dr. New brough again inspected the cabinet. There sat the homely anfl motherly Mrs. Compton, with' tho waxed ends all rigidly fast, a:d ,her alpaca dress, nailed to the floor again, tho fino litn tie nails being with almost perfect ex actness driven into tbo holes- they had previously occupied. Mrs. Compton has lately been as sisted by the overseer of the poor of tho county, for these changes to which her body has been subject dur ing two years have ruined her health and in addition to being unable to work, tho reputation of being possess ed by spirits, has de.prived her of her former employers. The people of tho town say nothing against her except that she is a sorceress. The little chil dren had mended th-eir clothes with yarn and with twine or with whatev er they could get. A mortgage on their house, addnd to other obliga tions, narrated them with debts am ounting to nearly $000, and the pros pect of the county poor-house for a more permanent home. Dr. Newbrough announced that be raised $120 for the poor family before he left Havana, and from the spiritu alist meeting yesterday morning in Republican Hall, $52. Ono of his?' hearers asked him whether tho pers ons in Havana who contributed the $120 were infidels, spiritualises, or christians. Ho answered that two wero infidels, one spiritoalist, aud: himself. Three or four ladles passed through the 'audience and collected $Q2. Money has been now raised tot nearly the amount of Mrs Compton'. debts ewThrirSntLl KgjMujj?'iijiipigwspiHyw r W H 1.' A. i?a s".
