THE ViLLieH CONVICT.

[From Seribner’s Monthly for August. | (CONTINUED. )

The spring came slowly on, and the that season was Kph’s. Thatday was one of unmixed delight to him. Whata sense ef abso- lute freedom when he was fairly out be- yond the light-ship, with the fresh swiit- ness of the wind in his face! What an exquisite consciousuess of power and contiol, as his boat went beating through the long waves! ‘Two or three men from another village sailed acress his wake. His boat lay over, almost show- ing her keel, now high out of the water, now settling between the waves, while Eph stood easily in the stern in his shirt- sleeves, steering with his knee, smoking

~ a a pipe, heaving and hauling his line

astern for blue-fish.

‘Takes it nat’ral ag’in, don’t he? Stands as easy as ef he was loafin’ on a

pect it’s quite a treat to be out. But they do say he’s gettin’ everybody’s good

opinion. They looked for a regular ruf-'

fian when he come home,—cuttin’ nets,

| Tean’t stand this,’ said Eph to him- ‘self; ‘I dont wonder that they always used to put Jeshua off at first port, when he tried to go coasting. They said he talked theim crazy with noth- ing.

‘T’ll go into the house and see Aunt Lyddy,’ he said aloud. ‘ I'm loafing this afternoon.’

‘ Lyddy’!! be glad to see ye, that is, as glad as she would be to see anybody,’ he added, reaching out fora poley * Now, I don’t spose that sounds very well; but still you know how she is,—she allus likes to hev folks to talk, and then she’s allus sayin’ talkin’ wears ov her; but I ought not to say that to you, because she allus likes to see you, that is, as mach as she likes to see anybody, in fact, I think, ou the whole ——’

‘Well, Vil take my chances,’ said Eph, taaghing, and he opened the gate and went in.

with yourn.’

Eph was taken all aback at this mark of confidence. He would decline the) offer, sure that it had sprung from some passing vexation.

‘I can’t buy fish,’ said he. no scales to weigh ’em.’

‘ Then seud ourn in separate barrels,’ | said one of them.

‘But [haven't auy money to pay you,’ he said. ‘I only get my pay once a month.’

‘We'll git tick at William’s and you can settle ‘th us when you git your pay.’ -

‘ Well, said he, wnable to refuse, I'll) take ‘em, if you say so.’

Before the seeson was over, he had still another customer, aud could have had three or four more, if he had had ice enough. He was strongly inclined that fall to build a larger ice-house, and al-

‘IT have

upon himself in’ case uo fish should be brought to him the next summer, he de- cided to do so, on the assurance of three or four men that they would deal with him. Nobody else had such a chance, he thought, with a pond right by the shore.

One evening there wos a knock at the door of Eliphalet Wood, the owner of the burned barn. Eliphalet went to the door, but turned pale at seeing Eph there, |

‘Oh, come in, come in!’ he panted. *Glad to see you. Walk in. Have a chair. Take aseat. Sit down.’

But he thought his hour had come ; he was alone inthe house, and there was no neighbor within call.

Eph took out a roll of bills, counted out eighty dollars, laid the money on the table, and said, quietly :

‘ Give me a receipt_on account,’

When it was written he walked out, leaving Eliphalet stupified.

Joshna Carr was at work, one June afternoon, by the road-side, in front of his low cottage, by an enormous pile of poles, which hz was shaving down for

‘ Hard at it, Joshua /’ he said.

‘Yes, yes !* said Joshua, looking up through his steel-bowed spectacles. ‘Hev to work hard to make a living’ ;—though I don’t know’s I ought to call it hard, neither ; and yet it is rather hard, too ; but then on t’other hand, “taint so hard as a good many other things,—though there is agood many jobs that’s easier. That's so! That's so!”

Captain Seth had once sagely remarked, ‘Prob'ly it sounded then like a putty piece on a seraphine; but I allers cul’l- ated she’s git her fili of it, sooner or later. You mest gin’lly git your fill o’ one tune.’

‘How are you this afternoon, Aunt Lyddy ?-asked Eph, walking in without knocking, and sitting down near her, ‘So as to be able to keep about,’ she replied. ‘It is a great mercy I aint afflicted with falling out of my chair,like Hepsy Jones, ain: it?’

‘I’ve brought you some oysters,’ he said. *] set the basket down on the I just took them out of the water myself from the bed I planted to the west of the water-fence.

‘Il always. heerd you was a great fisherman,’ said Aunt Lyddy * but I had no idea you would ever come here and boast of being able to catch oysters. Poor things! How cculd they have got away? But why don’t you bring them in? They wont be afraid of me, will they?’ .

He stepped to the door and brought in a peck basket full of large, black, twisted shells, and, with a heavy clasp-kuife, proceeded to open one, and took out a great oyster, which he held up On the point of the blade.

To be Continned. A Bre Rewarp.—A. D. Williams (care of Williams & Co., Room 30, Times Build- ing, Chicago, Lil., U. i. A.,) offers a re- ward of $2,000, and no questions asked, for the return of money stolen from a parcel in 1864, nearly twenty years ago. We quote from the advertisement in the Halifax Chronicle :

TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD AND No QUESTIONS ASKED, FOR THE RECOVERY OF THE FOLLOWING PROPERTY, VIZ.;

Six thousand two hundred and eighiy

dollars in bills on the Georgia Railroad and

Banking Company.

One thousand dollars on the State Bank

of Georgia.

Kighty dollars_on the Central Railroad

and Banking Company.

One thousand four hundred and forty

dollars on other Southern Banks.

Said Bank Bills were stolen in 1864 from

parcel addressed te Theodore Knowles,

eare of T, A. S. DeWolf & Son, Halifax, and were my property.

The ubiquitous. housefly has got fairly to work, and has with unanimity been voted the plague of the season. An exchange thus humorously dilates upon this subject : ‘*The housefly has only just embarked upon his midsummer career Now he winks at us from behind the cubes of sugar, or flings himself in playful gymnasties upon the ebon rasberry. Already he begins to skate on the butter dish, and leave his forefoot in the inkstand ; he will presently infest the cream-pot, and plunge madly into the soup. Later on he prevades every- where. One experienced fly in a_ bed- chamber will do the business of several muezzins, though he wakes the sleepers to anything but prayer; and a family that keeps a fly will have no use for an alarm clock. Then with the coming of dawn’s roseate humes, the suddenly awakened head of the family wil! wildly fling his hand across hig nese and say things he will be

On feathery beds of ease?” Though I don’ know’s I oughter quote a hymn on such a matter; but then,—] non’t know’s there's any particular harm in’t neither.’

Eph sat down on apile of shavings and chewed a sliver; and the old man kept on at his work.

* Hoop-poles goin’ up and hoops goiu’ down,’ he continued. ‘Cur’us aint it! But then, I don’ know as ‘tis; woods all

ne |

bein’ cut off—poles gittin’ scurcer ; hoops | bein’ shoved in from Down East. That |don’t seem just right, now does it,—but ‘then other tolks must make a livin’, too,

isuthin’ else; and yet they might say

sorry for, while the flatteriag bird that woke him sits on the pillow taking a dry wash and musing over the utter depravity of mankind. For the next six weeks at least, we may be sure that to Mr. Mallock’s earnest question, “‘Is life worth living?” the human family will unanimously respond ‘* Not in fly time.” litte
