ASHBURTON STOCK MARKET.

Mr David Thomas reports aa follows upon the live stock market ia the Aehourton county for the week ending August 28 :— On Tuesday at the Tinwald yards the usual weekly sale was held. There was a good attendance of farmers and others interested, but owing to the acarcuy of grass biddings were very Black, and a large proportion oi the entry had to be passed by auction, bu> m some cases tound buyers, m all cases, how ever, far below owners' expectationa. Stook m the butchers' pens were scarce, and the trade had to give high prices or go without, lhe totals for the day were nude up o! 3254 sheep, 19 head of cattle, 46 pig 3 , and 14 horse?, and my entry consisted of 1914 sheep, 4 head of cattle, 38 pigß, and 14 horses. A this fixture a consignment of horses came forward from the north, and 'all found buyers at good values.

jasir— - CHAPTESi viL "": ''. ABSENCE. j White and beautiful and still, lay Sophia j Paulovna Eczardy, dead. On Monday moraing the post brought \ me a letter. It was a letter that I had been expecting for a good while, and, \ other things equal, it ought to have caused me the liveliest pleasure. It was ! a letter from Mr. Archibald Winthrop, a wealthy citizen of Boston, inviting me to come and stay at his house and paint the portraits of his wife and his two un- married daughters. It ought to have ■ afforded me the liveliest possible satis- faction, for it meant a good lot of money, and it meant also, what was more im- portant, the first serious step m my ca- reer. Yet, as a matter of fact, it afforded me no satisfaction whatever, but only , vexation and regret. Of course I could not think of saying no to it; that would , be to fly m the face of Providence. But if I said yes to it I should have to leave New York and remain away for a couple of months at the shortest; and for rea- sons which the reader will divine I was loth to leave New York even for a seven- night. However, like a true American — the issue lying between business on the one hand and sentiment on the other — I cast the choice m favor of business, and two days later found me aboard the after- noon express train bound for Boston. The exterminator and 1 had had an af- fectionate parting, and I had exacted from him a promise that ho would write to me and let me know "how things went on." I did not mention Miss Ec- zardy's name to him, but I felt sure that when he wrote to me his letter would | contain new 3of her. Of my sojourn m Boston, which lasted on till after New Year's, I will only say two words — it taught me the truth of the adage about absence making the heart grow fonder. I thought so much of Miss Eczardy; her beautiful pale face was so often visible before my imagi- nation; I so passionately regretted the wasted opportunity I had had to make her acquaintance; I so eagerly looked forward to my return to NeAV York, when I might have another oppor- tunity, I hoped and believed, that by aud by I began to realize what seemed very strange, that I was not simply in- terested m her, but that I was m love with her. Yes, that I was m love, head over ears m love with a young woman between whom and myself never a word had been exchanged and who, doubtless, was scarcely more than half conscious of my existence. Meanwhile, I waited anxiously for tho letter Musello had promised to write me. But clays grew into weeks, aud weeks I were lengthening into months, and no let- * ter came. This mado me very restive and unhappy. I tried to comfort myself by ' repeating the old commonplace that no news is good news; but I discovered that s that sort of comfort is very cold comfort j indeed. Finally a few days before \ . Christmas I took the pen m my own hand and precipitated active operations by writing to him. covered three pages a and seven-eighths of a fourth page with ~ perfunctory tidings about myself and ' inquiries about him; then I gave the re- s maining eighth of the fourth page to the genuine point and purpose of my epistle. "Do write to me at once and tell me ev- erything that has happened m St. Mark's , place since my departure. And, by the by, how are the Eczardys? What news from Bermuda of the doctor's health? And mademoiselle? Is she always the same?" I looked for an immediate answer from the exterminator; but ten days passed , before his answer came. When m the 1 end it did come — but I will copy it be- low: r Dear Mr. Eliot— Your favor of 22d ultimo to hand and contents noted. Glad to hear you get along all right. Yes, thank you, I am pretty well and had a very busy season, wich com- jj' mence now to slack up little. The roas^nj dldn^t v write to you before I hadn't nothing to*say, as nothing had happened. But since your letter was I, received a great deal has happened. Dr. Eczardy Is died clown there m Bermuda. I always said he never could get well, and his body come home on * the ship and been buried, and Miss Eczardy she pack up and leave New York to go to Russia. All since I receive your letter. The steamer from Bermuda was due to arrive here on Saturday morning last wick, and she expect a letter by It from ber father, when instead she got word ho is died down there, and his cadaver is on board the . ship m a box. She went crazy, and I had to man- age the hole business. Wo buried him m the com- etery over on Long Island, wile it snowed, and then she tole me she made up her mind to leave New York and go to Russia. She paok up m a hurry and sail on the boat for Havre Wednesday morning. She tolo me, now my father i 3 dead I got nothing more to live for, so I go to Russia and offer myself to serve tha revolution. I strike one blow m the same time r to avenge my father and to help tho struggle of Russian liberty, and then I die. Good-by. If you let mo know twenty-four hours before you como back I have the rooms cleaned up nice and fires to warm them. Otherwise everything is the same as always. Take good care of your- self, and believe me, with the highest esteem, * your devoted A. Musellh. I remember what followed as one re- members the delirium of a sick bed. I remember reaching Muselle's house and hearing, viva voce, from his lips a con- firmation of what he had Avritten. Miss Eczardy had gone to Russia, to St. Petersburg. She had gone, she said, to strike a blow for Russian liberty, to avenge her father and to die.
