"Tray, how is it that Mr. May no has never written to inform me of tho allowed will?" , .' , , "Because, in the first plr.co, I doubt if ho is awaro of the Colonel's death; cut, if ho la, ho has probably forgotlon that tho Colonel left Irs will with him, for his memory isn't what it was," snid nir. uruiiiDBr, growing more muni ui m h'a manner in lo remarked Alfred I liking s white lips and agitated do meauwr.

It win iuipossiblo to Ignore tho in- ftidiouH purpose of tho man's visit Evidently bo whs nn unscrupulous scoundrel, who desired to turn the dis covery he made to account. Alfred l.nkihg looked at him with newly awakened (iiriositv, and was by no menus favorably Imprcs-od.by his tip pcMiauci. Tho man had a forbidding expro-sion, and it suddenly occurred to Mr. Lnking Hint this was an impudent nt tempt Ui ox tort money by false pro teliHcH. "I don't bellovo a word of what you Ray,", ho cried, suddenly rising from his scat and confronting tho unwel come visitor " Your.Htury Is a tissuo of falsehoods." "I was afraid you niie-lit think so, sir, so 1 ventured to bring Iho will with Inn, Haul 1 1 io man, slyly. " What! you have actually stolon UP" cried Alfred I. akin-'.

Ho lir-t turned to the limit page, which bore tho aignnturo of tho testator and the atlestinrr witnesses. So farna ho could Judge the signature were genuine, ami tlio document liad ovidcntly been prepnrod several months ago, tiiocit,"os of tlio jmper being dis colored and tho ink faded. Jl wiu dated a few weeks before Colonel I.ak ing' s dealt), and was, therefore, in all probability, tlio lust will ho had made. When ho came to rend It carofully Alfred I .liking's lingering hopo that tho document might lie a forgory was quick ly dispelled. From Internal ovidenco it wag undoubtedly genuine, tlio ninnB of various persons nnd places being men tioned which no stranger could havo fabricated. The Colonel appeared lo havo left his property to Home distant relatives, subject to a few charltnhlo boiuost. His nephew's namo was not mentioned and an old military friend wits appointed executor. Mr. Alfred Lnking rend tho will ovor Iwo or threo times, kecnlnir his fneo concealed from Mr. Crumber, who man ifosted a good deal of Impatienco. At length ho roused himself from his un pleasant rellections, foldod un the fatal document and llxod a half-frightened, bnlf-delinut gazo upon his visitor.

But Alfred Lnking did not hasten to advise this atralghttorward oourao. Ho kept silent for a long time, lidgoting norvously wllh tho dooumont ho had in his hand, and at length Crumbor anokn.

Upon hi return to London, feel ing, in apite of sundry misgivings, more relieved and light-hearted than he had done since his uncle's death, his exuber ant spirits received a sudden check in consequtneo of tho rocoipt of a letter from Mr. Mayno, which ran thus: I,i nciii.sV-I n s-KiKi.na.

If the dot timcnt hnd already been missed, immediato stepa would, of course, bo taken to recover it, which might lend to the arreat of CrumLcr, and even re sult in bis own apprehension on a crimi nal charge. Tho bare notion of such a calamity brought beads of perspiration to liia brow, and his first impulse was to i!eo tho (onntry. But upon second thoughts ho aban doned tho idea. Even supposing Crumber should bo suspected of having destroyed the will there was no proof. Tho man would deny tho charge for his own Mike, besides wh'ch ho was out of tho country. I'pon the whole, Alfred Lak'nir thoueht tho wifest course would bo lo laco tho matter ou:; and mii' li as ho would havo preferred lo avoid nn in terview with the lawyer, bo determined to call upon him without nclav. Accordingly ho presented himself at Mr. Mayno s ollxo the mornina after re ceiving tho letter, looking very pale and nervous, though making every ouort io appear at case. "I wrote to you," Mr. I.aking, fnid tho old lawyer, when they had ex changed greetings, "becauco I havo reason to believe mat you iinverecoiveu a communication from a man named Crumbor."

The yield of corn per aore, according to the roports of the National Departs ment of Agrioulturo, is very small the prosont year. Slrango as it may appear, the largest yield is credited to Maine, where the orop averagos 33.5 btishou per aero. Kansas comes next with an average yield of 82.5 bushels por aoro. In Florida, the land of flowers and por potual sunshino, the yield is vory small, being only 10.3 bushels. Tho yield in Michigan, Wisoonsin and Minnesota is larger than in the throo States that Ho south of them. In all the States where cotton is tho loading crop, tho average yield of corn is very small. The entire South appears to bo very poorly adapt ed to tho production of corn. '1 ho seasons are long, tho sunshino bright, the temperature all that can be desired, and thoro is no loss on account of late or early frosti. Stilly corn is not a profitable crop. Much of the soil is vory poor, and protracted droughts are .ikoly to occur In placo' whore thoro is a rich soil, vory largo crops of corn stalks and loavo can bo raised. The former havo no market value, however, and tlio cost of gathoring the latter by the usual mothod of plucking them from thn stalks is vorv crcat. Whero corn stalks shoot up to a very groat height, as they uo lo sonio portions oi uiu South, It I necessary io jocaio mo uiui a long distance apart, and, as a conse quence, there aro but fow of tliora on an aero. Tito amount of grain on a stalk of corn which is sixteen feet high is no largor thnn on ono that is but eight, and tho valuo of tho forBgo is less. Tlio corn grown in thn South is more valua ble for making uroau man matraiseu in tho North, as it is softer and swootor. This accounts in part for tho proforenco of the Uouthorn people for bread inado of oorn. The avorago yield on corn In what aro Known as "tho great corn-prod. .3- Ing States" is small, owing to tho inree amount nlantod on inverted sod. The sod is turned with a view of preparing the soil for some cultivated crop, and corn is preferred to any other. As the planting is done lato in tho season the sod is not sulliciontly decomposed to furnish much material for plant growth, and its condition is such that cultivators can not bo used botweon tho rows. Still tho yiold of corn raised in this mannor Is reckoned in with that pro duced on well-prepared soil, which is oflou manured and always cultivated. A bad showing is accordingly mado of tho productiveness of our finost Wostorn lands, (in thn other hand, a remarka bly good allowing is mado for tho natu rally poor or worn out lands in somo of tho Eastern States. Tho averago yield is reported.probablytrnthfully, as largo, or at least as larger tban that of tho Wcstorn States. 'J'ho aggregate amount produced, however, is vory small. Possibly it is produced at a loss if all tho expense of fertilizers and labor wero estimated. Nearly every farmer has a "mall portion of land in corn, nnd on this ho puts a very largo amount of manure nnd ex pends a vast amount of labor. Tho land appropriated to this crop is tho best on the entire farm, (uito likoly it has been 'in training" for somo years before it was planted for this crop. It has pro duced a crop of clover which was turned under. Perhaps coarso manure was also plowod undor and lino manure scattered broadcast before tho harrow was used. Compost or aomo excellent fertilizer was placed in tho hills in order to give tho young plants a start. A top dressing of ashes or plaster is applied aftor tho plants havo appeared. Tho ground is worked with a hand-hoo as wull as with tho cultivator and plow. A largo crop is tho result. Farmers in the more fertile portions of tho Wcstorn States can hardly bo ex pected to tako so much pains with a crop of corn, especially whero land is cheiip and labor is comparatively high. They find it more proiitablo to plant more acres and to expend loss in labor and fertilizers. Still it is likely that Western furmors would ba tho galuors by following tho example of Eastern farmers more closely than they do. Not enough pains aro taken in tho produc tion of a corn crop In tbo most favored regions of tho Wost. Land is often ap propriated to tho crop thnt is unsuita ble either on account of deficient drain niro or other natural defects.
