I'm not machiurpriaed at your preference for Henry over Tom partly because he is not in Tom s place sod partly became yon consider him more brilliant, perhap* ; and I haven't a doubt ibal Mrs. Joyner bai pat teloro pxir, diar Kllen the lame companion reversed, em pham/.ing Tom'* being auchagoorl Baptiit." You are right there," replied the mother, her natural ohterfulness icmewhat restored. " I was over there a little whil thi* morning when >oa and Ellen went to the Anlerto-.s'.

" Didn't mention Tom's name , but hie mother did, and while ahe was praising '.in. lo the skies he looked oat th) window, nd let oa a* if he were not hearrig. Poor eort of behavior, to my opinion. Well ! well I but it showed that if ha find* oul here's anything aerioa* between Henry Josler and Ellen, he'll do hi* very best to reak it up. They are tbe itrongeit kind f Baptists, yoa know ; that is, all exoept liram, who, I'm afraid, ba* no religion of ny tort , al lean not enough lo do him ny gcod ; but Klleu and her mother are, Ir. Joyner being ihe original alerter of loreb, and Hiram, il hecan'i work il with .lien, will bring iu old Brother Bullmglon nd .ft him at hi* mother. I pity tbe <.r little thing when that'* the oaee." Then Mr*. May laoghtd. thi* charitable " ^ lit having brought thai muoh relief, larritl joined in hoortily to enhance thi* rame of her mother'* mind.

Jo>nsr might have feared and Ir. Itnllington would have known to be mprndent. Thii good man lived in a imall house lib a small farm attached, about a mile orlb ol Ihe Duster*', and aboal half that Utanoa from Uoreb. Tall like Mr. winger, bnt much heavier both in body nd in spirit, gloomy-looking at all time*, I* brows grew darker al any thought of arm done or meditated againil either imaelf or the religion* faith ot which lor lany year* he had been a very bold, a very u.l, and a reasonably acceptable public xponent. It wai not often thai he laughed, Ithough he did laugh, at leant he tiled to augh, sometime* when b* had gained some personal or denominational triumph or lelieved he had aome well founded hope of The aeasons of his hearti**! gayt ty , il ie word conld be employed fitly in his >, were wedding feasts, th* degree* of i* enjoyment thereat depending upon oon- ngeucie*. Country oh n robe* in those ines oontribaled bnt small stipends to heir pallors, some exauting themselves ith the authority that at its first insliln- ion, and admitted lo have been done then I ill very best, preaching of the gospel wa* tumuli"! without money and without rioe. Mr. llulliugton perhap* had never aid *o ha wonts, yet hi honeetly snipe le.l hat lomewhere or other ther* might be a . aw in thi* argument. Hiill he felt con ented to think thai the turns received rom hi* fuur obnrohei, with the occati jnal mite dropped in from a fifth Sun lay, wtre I leait a* muoh a* he could hav* earned ad hi* powers been exerted in other pro- visional or in agricultural endeavor*, ipecially cooioling and grateful wa* the upplemrniary help ol leea, ranging from me dollar to five, obtained- from liberal, lappy bridegroom! ; io muoh io that he waa a noted enooorager of marriages mong hii own rlo >k, not only early bat epeaied, whenever death had made them possible. Al wedding feasts, notably when lie enoloinn in Ihe license was at msxi- mm or approximate lo it, and when he 'a* full up to the brim of good thing*, hii trnggle* to be merry like the reul were both oromendabli and interesting. If hi* faoe n inch occasion! roald have oorreiponded ith hi* huge body, those effort* woald ave been entirely, even immensely, satis ,olory. A. it was, when his side* were taking, that countenance, ai il reilrained y a sense of dnty behind an expression of ilarily not becoming hi* sacred office, took n a moil painful aternnesa that teemed to i a just equilibrium. For two or three year* la.t past he had wen counting upon being called to the Mays' and the Joyner*' on aome flue evening! at uandle-ligbt, where he would far! sure they bung tbe richest and moat liberal among all hi* people that handsome thing! would b* doua for him who ihonld lie the knot* a* fond a* innitiolable. Only one* had he encountered faoe to fao* bis rival, Mr. Swinger, and lha latter admitted afterwards that he bad the worst of it. Now that Mr Swinger, or any other Mathodiit preacher, would come within the verge of Horeb on a mission which, next to hi* public ministrations, il bad ever been hii fondest pleasure to serve, bad not entered hi* mind, liable ai it wa. to gloomy appre- hension!. Therefore, when the report arose about Ellen Joyntr and Henry Do*- ler, a iprout, a. it were from the trunk of Mr. B winger, ha triad lo looat il a* an evil, malic i)ui, idle tale, Yel be conld not but be ar.xioui, and, while meditating on hii own moit prndant line ol action, new* came that both Ihe girl* were going to the camp meeting, now at hand. " Thar, now ! " he exclaimed to hi* wife ; for of these .ooaaioi be ever had a dread, not aomingled with horror. " However, mighty Bigh everbody, special young people, will go to that whirl) pool. A body mu*l try and hope for the beat." Bol a deep groan told lhal thii reflection had brooghl no relief. CHAPTER V. To ao o'd lime Geor^iin il i* very pleis ing cow io recall the camp mewlioga ot the .: ago, particularly thoee in Ihe county wherein Ihe soenei recorded in Ihi* story are laid. Four mile* south of Oatealcn, and nearly ou* mile dinanl from the P iblic thoronghlare, ground of about ten acre**, parallelogram in shap*. had bean elected by the Mt ttuxlist* for thii purpose shortly after the nr.l settlement of that region. Here tbe level land on three side* ended, and at a few rods' diitanoe in their ronl declined aeveral feel, becoming some what precipitous shortly after leaving the oamp al a spot where wa* a spring of abun- dant oool water. A large wooden shed, called " Tb* Stand," without floor or ealher board ing, capable of covering, Bay, 'our thousand people, stood near the centre. Knlely conitrncted tent* of unplaned board*, also without floor*, were on three siile*. and on tbe only rising ground of Ibe ait wa* one floored and otherwise more elaborate, known ai " The Preacher*' I'ent " ; for ih- clergy, mtrried and single, luring the oamp, which lasted four dayi, not often longer, were domiciled together, but took their meal* promiicooaily among M t' ni holJers. Ubaerving the waggon* and ox-oar s luring a couple ol days before, laden with lou ehold good* cf every kind, moving in inediriclion, a strang-r might be led to aspect thai a large number of the popu- anon were emigrating to foreign part*. By 'c .lay night, where three dayaago naught f anin ate nature wa* to be Been exoept he bird* and gray squirrel* in the sur oundiiig forest, wa* a village ol several undnd* ol inhabitants ready for tha nter tan, men I of relative*, friend*, ao uaintances, an i itranger* o alma* every egree. On either lid* ol the pauage, ex- ending f/oan th* front to the eating-plaoe n the rear of eaoh lent, were tbe sleeping- heinb. rs. In f ronl wai a (bed lo defend rom the ion'* ray* Ih* men who cat there nd smoked oigari and chatted, while the 'omen, except in Ihe evening!, remained within. Behind the ten! wa* another shed or th* cook and her nleniils. II she slept uywhere, I luipect il mail have been nder the dining table. Farther yet in the ear were rail peuahiMing pig*, lamb*, and nmeslio fowl*. Vehicle* of burden revellei baok and forth continually for uppliee for th* ever threatening void. Hun- red! cf waggon load* of wlnat and oat traw were brought daily lo be spread freah upon Ihe ground inside. Beyond ie carriageways aom* near tha edge, aome eeper within the wood*, were booth* In nat one could purchase oigari, cinfeot- on* of various kinds, and prhapi, in a aiet way, a bottle or a flask with some hing whioh ooul 1 not b* lioensed, bat hiob claimed to be excellently good, con- i lermg everything. Al nighl lha ground* were 111 with bonfire4 kindled from pine i"te upon wool scaffolds thickly covered ith earth. Public service* were held four me* a day, al eight and eleven in the fore- oon, three in the afternoon, and candle- All were expected to riee from btd or morning prayen, which were offered by ne ol the preachers or other pious person, nd lo retire at bsdlime, the signal lor Inch occasion, being announced by a long n trumpet. After the service* for the bile* were over, reasonable time was al twed to the negro** beneath tbe tree* in ie rear of Ihe (land, who, then a* now, referred to do their own worship among iem*elve*. The number* eating at any one of theee arge. People from all part* of the | aeveral adjoining oonld be gfjned from tbe number* hurry ing to the stand. Mr. Swinger, devoted with all bi* heart to bi* calling, always feeling prepared with a termon ol any Itngth requisite upon any test of Scripture, yet, with becoming oon lideratiou for visiting brelhern, had re- ijueited lhal he be not called upon during the meeting, proposing, however, to " do tbe ex ortin'," a* he styled it, after the ser- mon ot Henry Docter, which had been ap- pointed for Bonday night. " Young man 1 ko Henry, you know, brothin, it'll mayby sorter encourage him up in tbe back to know hi* old father, a* I call i myself, ii behind tbar a-ready and a- waiiin' to prize him out if be git stuck in hi* flnt camp-meetin' iplurgin' He'* a powerful modest boy, but il be can keep his head clear before io many people, I sha n't be ontaiy ; for th* the thing's in him, if ha oan fetch her out. Let me baok him up in hii flrit i IT mart. He know, Henry Daw- .trr do, he oan 'pend on old Allen Swinger till everything tarn blue." I ihoald remark here that although be had not aooght from hi* young friend ihe confidence which he doubled not hi. having good reason* for withholding, yel be had been intensely interested in the rumor con- necting him with Ellen Joyner, and he had been aa deeply recentf nl a* so piou* a man could be at what he htd heard of Hiram's fierce hoot lny, a. evinced by utterance* nol only most ciisnipxciful, bat threaten- ing, towaid* Henry. Other thing* had con- tributed to put him raiber out of hi* ao coilomed humor by this lime. A rcu :h smaller number cf moorner* loan with some confidence ha had counted on had responded to most persuasive and urgent appeals to coma up to the altar. Never Before, il seemed to him, bad sinners been more obdurately nuoouoered about their spiritual condition. More talk than usual, ie felt lore in hi* mind, had been about ralitici, crop*, money -making in general, :ounty ami neighborhood news, than alany camp-meetin*; in he would not hk to say low long. Lastly, there wai a matter of family trouble oa hii mind. Jerry Pound, on cf hii own dear, widowed miter, a great, lubberly, carelet* fallow, hii mother had bes jugol her brother lo Iry yel again lo do fcometbmg with, a* it did aeem to bar thai be oared no m ore for his coal's salvation than if he never had a soul to be saved. Mr. Swinger during Ihe Iwo pail day* bad held aome talk witn tbe youngster what time* ba had been able, in spite of bii dodging, to oatch him within bearing, and bad be- come sufficiently diagusled with tbe little impression made by hii remonitranoea. Thai very evening be had laid to Jerry, loud enough to be overheard by several young persons of both aexa* who war* alt- ting or Handing near : " Jerry Pound, your hide'i ai tough ai the jography booki telli about them rhinoaeronee* thai U ain't worth a man * while to shoot a ride at 'em ; and your back i* hard same as a lo^ger- tira I turklelhat yon bai to pal acotlof tiro on him before he'll move when he don't wanl lo. But never yon mind." It wa. not Ibal Jerry wa* not a hard- working youth ; but aver aiuoe be had grown too big to be whipped for doing suoh thing* slyly, ne waa ia the habit of playing :narbl*( openly on Hunday, and going with other* to Ihe creek a-iwimming. and by hi* mother wai suspected even of occasional wearing. On the whoK therefore, the Hale of mind in whioh Mr. Swinger found himself all that afternoon wa* far from confident or oheerf al. Yet he wa* not a man to be put back by inch consideration* from the proeeootion ol hi* duty. Indeed, luey oon- pired lo make him more eager to pal forth hi* word of exhortation. He said after- ward : Fast ot the bnsinr**, I were sorter mad, and I had to let oal Then, ipile of it all, I couldn't Iu coowinoed in my very bone* bat what to much good preaohin' and 11 ortin', aul *o muoh hard wraitliu' in praar, wasn't a goin' to be let fre&tle out jes M lo the little end o' nothin'. I had heerd older people than ase say th* darkest time o' nighl uje* before day, and I deter m'ed lo govern myself aooordin'." Thm far Henry Doater had seen littla ol Ibe Ugtechee girls, except when in ihe great congregation, or at the In* rain lent doorway when happening lo be walking pail. People laid that il looked well lhal al suoh a aolemn time he postponed tor a more exalted society that of Kllen Joyner, whom they were lure that, pnaohar a* ha wa*, be wa* dying to be with. Once Sat- urday afternoon il was he did stop in lor a lew minute* only, but even then be talked more with Harriet than her. Al tha time of thii visit Will May wai not preeenl, being at the tent near by, where Mus Mary Andereon, whoee family dwell across the river, wa* staying. Hiram wa* on hand, and itioky a* a leech, com* laid. He barely nodded to the visitor on hi* entrance, and, ore on those oamp meeting nighto.
