"Heritage" is cer- tainly not in common use; although, when one gets acentomed to it, it sonde oft and other pretty, (specially so when coupled with my surname, "Heritage Riven ' is nob at all lead. 1 am quite mire thee in most instances people's natures accommodate themeeives to their names. Nearly all the eiturys I have known have been len and romaneie ; nearly , *the Janes and Swine homely and fond of le nsekeeping, A girl's career news often to be monied, by her mune. So, having no precedent to show me whab the owner of the name of Heritage ahouldbe like I alwasis plead it as an excuse for any pectiliarities of diopoeition. Nevertheless, I am not gelled upon to divan!' my mental qualities for the benefit of the ingunitive, ao shall only 'say that one of my chief clutressteristice is that of being a good hater. I like and respect a good hater. No doubt, it ie unchristian - like; ' but it is so natural. 1 ani not ashamed to say that if people injure me, I don't forget or forgive until I feel I am about even with them. Of course, if any one who had wronged me asked forgiveness, I should forgive freely enough—I don't see how that Cell be avoided—but I should never be eager to do my enemy a good turn unless I felt quite sure of heaping coals of fire upon his head I Now you know what manner of being I am; and very dreadful the desorip- tion looks as I write it ; so dreadful, that I am oblige I to' comfort myself by thinking of the reverse of the picture—that I can be aa true a friend as an enemy. It is not so many years ago that I, Herit- age Rivers, a slim girl of seventeen, left school, and stepped out into tbe grown up world to meet what fate awaited me. For the time, my only idea was to enjoy my freedom. It was delightful to think thee maiden and mistresses were finiehed and done with for ever and a day. So I bade them a glad adieu, and went down into the country to stay with an annb of mine, and for several weeks revelled in sunshine and liberty. Then, in accordance with a Went promise, I spent some little time with an old sohool-friend—one like myself, just emend - Imbed. Her people lived ab' Twickenham, in a delicious old house with a large garden. I was made heartily welcome. The mother took 'me to her heart, as her daughter's dearest friend. The father, a courtly gray. haired man, with literaey tastes and pursuits, was kindness and politeness itself; wbilet -Clara Rainsay's brobhers were in an hour my devoted slaves and lovers. Surrounded eby such pleasent attentions, 1 began to real- -has the fact that I was row a grown-up young lady, not altogether unateraotive ; and so valued myself accordingly. As the Ramsays were quiet people and kept tittle company, an announoement made by Mr. Reineay that a dinner -party was projected, was sufficient to flutter our hearts. For several daes before it took place, we discussed again and again the gnats who It were to be present. As Cleo knew them all exoepb one, her interest was centred on — the probable appearance of this gentlein.a,n. As even mamma did nob know him, all information respecting him mus b be extracted from Mr. Ramsay, whose friend he was. Girls, being inquisitive creatures, -Clara, at breakfast -time, egged on by me, began her erquiries. ttWho is Mr, Vincent Hope, paps?" "A friend of mine my dear. A very clever young man, Who will one day, I think, be 9 most distinguished member of eniety." So far as it went, this reply was satisfac- tory ; but we' wanted a categorical testi- monial, not a general one. " How will he distinguish himselt ?" asked Clara. "Be is a rising author—little known aa yet ; but all that must come." "0 dear I" sighed Clara plaintively ; "1 know exacbly the sorb of man. I have seen so many of them here. Of course he wears spectacles ?" "1 don't dab* he does—or if so, I never noticed them," replied Mr. Ramsay. "1 ou never notice anything you ought to, papa. But he is entre to have a horrid beard --unkempt and neared for. They all have." "He has no beard, I fancy," answered Mr. Ramsay meditatively. "Is be good-looking and nice 2" demanded the audacious Clara. , Mr. Rainey looked much attuned at his daughter's question, "1 find him nice," he seid. "Bat what a chit of a girl like you may find him'is another matter—a very small matter. I should think that inost peo- ple would call him extremely good-looking" "Ie he dark or fair—tall or short ?'' "My dear girl, I shall answer no more question about him. Why don't you imi- tate the discretion of Miss Rivers, who seems free from your failing—curiosity ?" I blushed at such undeserved praise; whilst Clara, toishow her opinion of my fain pretences, ndged me under the table. Although Mr. Ramsay would tell us noth- ing more, we, in our idle memento which were many, speculated a great dal as to the , probable personal appearance of Mr. Vincent Hope. 1 had a certain right to feet acme anxiety about the matter, as it tran- spired that it would be my, lot to be taken in to dinner by him; therefore, it was a great comfort to me to hear he wore neither speotaoles nor beard. "1 know he will' be delightful I" cried Clara. "1 feel sure the whole matter is arranged by fate.. Of course he will fall in , love with you at once! Who could help doing so? You will look so nice, Heri- tage 1" Xhie is the way in which foolish young women chatter at tittles. It would be my firsb dinneieparty—an ordeal always trying to a young girl. Any- way, I eroded ib. In spite of Clara's well. meant compliments, my mind was not easy. mistrusted the appearance I should pre- sent. My new drown 1 fancied, fitted me badly; and I was haunted by a presentiment that my hands and the backs a my minis wen deetbaed to grow Minnie. So (hareem ing were my feare, that, eet the hour op - preached, I Would much rather have joined the boys, who, not being Admitted to the feast, had gone off for a jelly lotig reW on the river— to get out of it all," they said. As I dented tee/molt 1 wondered whether I should quite know whab to en, what to drink ; and above all if any one should deign to speak to me, vvhs.6 to talk about. 'Peehape, X thought, all this nines intinotivitly. If, happily, min is the one, could it be poseible, as Clara boldly predloted, thab I ehould cerry the little world by *tor& ? t melt one last glance at the mirror. After all, I don't look se vory men antics. Then, a few minutes past the knot a gent e.I wee (rompolt- OA the Iwn, near to me, grew one of thoee nein' tea—e spoons of laurel, the foliage of which towhee the groencl, and leavee the °entre nearly hollow.

In a few nun meats I became aware that volume were drawing near to Me—so alarmingly near, tiled' very soon I was able to recognize them • distinguish what bhey were slaying. It was Mr. Vincent Hope Micl his hosb, who had atrolled away feera their friends, "You have a fie ;specimen a the Pow. tuguese laurel here, said the former. "Yes," replied Mr, It anew. "It's a fin tree of the kind. They seldom grow larger. indeed, thie one is beginning to die down. There is an entrance out on the other side; so it makes a shady, bleb cornfortble, warm -weather retreat' Then I knew that the two gentlemen were coming round to ihe entrance. I was in despair. I cowered down In the darkness, and prayed that Mr. Hope's curiositymight not induce him to pursue his botanical re- searobes into the interior. I saw his head and shoulders fill up the entrance and hide the moonlight falling there. For the me- ment, I was uneeolded whether to shriek with horror, to endeavour to scare him away by growling like a wild beast, or to lie still and trust to chance. On the whole, the lamb seemed the wiriest course to adopt. I breathed more freely: when I found he had no intention of entering—the raceme*, were not tempting at night. I hoped the two men would now remove themselves. But, alas 1 my imprisonment was nob yet to be ended. They stood exactly in front of the entrance, and from my hiding -place I could hear every word they spoke.

We sank into our appointed placee, and as the soup was being handed round, Mr. Hope eddressed a few ordinary remake to me. Then I began to realize how shy—how stupid a person I was, The only words ray foolish tongue seemed capable of torming were "Yes" and "No." Connoted words had left me for an ineefinite period. I felt my conversational ohortoominge so acutely, thet it was scone little while before I was able to look et my neighbor, except furtively and timidly. He was tall, I knew ; thet fact had made itself manifeet es we walked arm- ba-artn. I had also received a sort of ha - premien trliat he was good looking. At Int, when able to really look at hira, I found that Mr B,o,msay'e enount, so far as it went, was a true one. The young man was un doubtedly beeadeorne. His eyes—the fea- ture a woman first looke at—were good, gray, I decided, with dark lashes, His face was pale, and bore a look of reflaemene His forehead was high—not too high—and hie chin was large, and gave hiin the appear - alum of posseeaiug considerable foroe of character. Above all, his nose UM straight, and his hands well shapen. Twenty-eight, ehould have gueseed his age. Altogether, a very oredinble young man. Fate had been kind in selooting this companion for me, if only I could find something to talk abont—something so gifted a oreature as he was reported to be would not be bored with. Alas, for me, the conversation field eeemed to have become euddenly barren of flowers' of epeech—not even a bud was left 1 Yet amongst people with whom I am an home, I ha a never yet been accused of taciturnity. For some short time the lady on the other side of him saved me. She appeared to know him, and complimented him on the success of an artiole in one of the ,reviews, which she attributed to him. He thanked her for her praise;. spokea few words on general subjects; then, as I suppose, in duty bound, turned to me and recommenced. con- versation. In film minutes, I positively hated myself and Mr. Vincent Hope I It may be kindness to bring one's intellect down to the level of the listener; I call it conceitl lf, in spite of my elaborate new dress, he could not help seeing I was but a schoolgirl, was there any reason why he should so plainly now me he saw It Was there any reason why he should quite change the man- ner -of his diseouree as he changed his listener—should talk to me in a way he evidently thought suited to my calibre? If he meant it kindly, what right had he to think I should esteem it kindness? I dare- say I deserved nothing more; but who was he to judge of my deserts? It ruffled my vanity, and destroyed my sal econfidence I was beginning to feel. The Went of it was he meant no rudenees. He did nob even pre- tend to patronise ; he simply chose to talk upon subjects which he was pleased to think were welt within my limited range. It was mortifying 1 I twisted up my dinner napkin under, the table, as a sort of vent to my vexation. Soon I grew desperate. I would chow this man I was not the inane, empty- headed school -girl he fancied me, or I would perish in the attempt My fluency of speech came back as suddenly as it left. On my acoount, I began to talk—of topic's about whin I knew nothing—of places I never visited—of people I had never seen—and of books I had never read. Ffe seemed amused at my new departure'and fl altered myself, to lead me on to talk. So talk I did, and thought no evil. It was not until I had once or twice gone completely out of my depth, right over head and aboulders and was com- pelled to flounder back as best I could, that I fancied the wretched man was laughing at me—not openly of course; his manner was politeness itself. Yet I had an unpin - sant suspicion that more than once I had made myself an idiot in his eyes. I positive- ly detest people who have the misfortune to me me at a dieavantage ; so, when I rose with the rest of the women and left the table I felt that ib would have been a great satisfaction to have given Mr. Vincent Hope's broad shoulders a Parbhian stab with a dessert fork. I had not been a 1311000Sii' and, what was worse, I knew it! It was dull work in the drawing.room. The women were strengers to me, and talk- ed about their own friends' Meeks, in none of which I bad the slighesb ineerest. It was very hot too. I peeped out of the window and saw the garden looking most tempting in the light of a lovely autumnal moon. How delightful ib would be if I could have one walk round it 1 I doubted whether it would be quite right for a young lady to walk about the garden alone and by mooulight ; but the temptation' was very great. After all, I have always found it nuich easier and often pleasanter to, yield to little tenipta Hens of thio kind than to reeist them; so I goon gave In, Even at the riek ef a cold or a scolding, I would have one, just one turn in the soft September night. leslipped from the room, covered my head andshoulders with a, shawl, and stole through the library window whin opened to the ground. The chew from the close atmosphere of Mr. Ramsey's drawing -room waste as I pre - dieted it would be, simply delicious. The clear sky, the full moon, and the bright stars which had tempted me out, made me feel quite poetical. I forgot ell met little annoy. anima in the beauty of the night; I became quite cheerful and happy. The one turn round the garden, whioh I had pledged myeelf not to exceed, grew to a great many; yet I was loath to leave the enchanting scene. But duty trent not be altogether neglectred. With a sigh, / turned for the last time, and began to retrace my steps to the hone.

It is not generally known, but it is, nevertheless, the truth, that Prof. Phelps was the discoverer of what is known to the Medi- al Profession and Chemists universaliy as Paine's Celery Compound, unquestionably one of the most valuable discoveries of this century. This reined:able compound is net nervine an essence, a sarsaparilla or any devised ajticle, but a arcovely, and it marks distinct step in medical practice and the treatment of nervous complications. It has been freely admitted by the best medical talent in the land, and also by the leading chemistsand scientists, that for nerve troubles, nervous exhaustion, insomnia, debility, eenflity and even the dreaded and terrible Paresis, nothing has' ever been discovered which reaches the disorder and restores health equal to this discovery of Prof. Phelps Paine's Celery Compound is now being prepared in quantities, and can. be procured at any reputable druggist.
