I took Helena with WO to Weir Cotage. Blanche had in- vited as, and we found Mr. Cheri - um (there. 1 saw in a moment,.from this way In which he looked at her, wharf his feelings were, hie eyes lingering upon her beautiful, happy face, asthough drinking in such pure, sweet beauty, his voice soft- ening as he spoke to her as I had never heard it before. The man's whole heart seemed bound up in her; it was ,not the Bret happy love of youth -et was a deep, absorbing, tragical passion, and I wondered how It would end. Blanche never seemed to notice It in the least ; she was too much engrossed—too happy in her own love to think about him. He Was laying his heart at her feet ; and ehe walked over it smilingly and unconbolously as site would have donne over dead leaves. When she sang his whole face softened and brightened. I thought how mtleh I should like him 1t he wore that expression always. The gloom faded from hie face as ben voice, soft, clear and sweet, fell upon his ear—a tender light came Iu those dark, grave eyee. Allan Charlton was a handsome man when under the influence of his love. He brought us home, but all that night I could not sleep. I could only think of the danger that hung over Blanche Carew. The next morn. log I saw Mr. Charlton leave the Grange with a most exquisite bou- quet of rare flowers !n les hand— white rosebuds, white heaths, white lilies and camellias; they were beau- tifully arranged, and some iustinet told me they were for Blanche, and that he had gone that morning to ask her to be his wife. In vain I tried to give Helena her usual lessons; my thoughts were at Weir Cottage. Between the two— ber helplese old father and • her wealthy lover, who held her fath- er's Itfe and happiness in his hands —what would Blanche do? I set Helena a difficult chapter of Schil- ler to translate, and gave myself Up to my meditations. To my in- tense surprise they were inter- rupted by a. knock at the sehool- roomm door, :tnd the visitor proved to be Blanche herself. Bright, blush- ing, and happy, she seemed to bring eunsdtine and beauty into that gloomy old Grange. "I was obliged to come, maman," she cried; "do not be angry 11' I Interrupt you. I was so happy this Morning I could not keep my hap- piness to myself." "Have you seen Mr. Charlton ?" T asked, in surprise. "Mr. Charlton ?" she repeated: "no—never mind him. May I come and talk with you? Come out in the garden ; Helena will not mind." Helena, busy with her translation. looked up with a smile, and I went with Blanche into the garden. "Sit down here," she said, "under elite lilac tree. Leave such good news to tell you. I could fancy this bright sunslstne sympathizes with me. Oh, maman, I um so happy ! He is coming home." " Hugh Mostyn ?' I interrupted. " Yes," site replied, with a smile bright and gladdening as the sun- shine ltnr•lf, •'he bas been wounded —nothing much, you know, or I should not Emile ; but the doctors there say he had better return to England, and he says ho will not leave me again. Here is the letter—read it yourself,"' In After days I wished 1 had not read the letter ; it made me so sad to remember all the love and hope it contained. ;He had been wounded in an expe- dition against one of the refractory hill tribes, and was coming home to claim her ; he had heard et her cruel reverse of fortune, and it made him love her en much the more. He had not liked to urge his suit upon her father before, be- cause he had felt the difference be- tween her wealth and his comparative poverty too keenly; but now that ob- stacle was removed and he concluded by saying how glee .ie was that he could prove the disinterestednese of hie love, and flow happy they would make the closing years of her ratio er'e life. et was a letter no woman could read unmoved; the love that spoke through It so true and loyal, the heart that dictated it ea noble and trusting, that f could not wonder at the girl's sunny face, her glad, bright eyes and radiant smiles. What a we al re, the troubles roubles of thls world heaped together with such a love am this to rest upon? That scene fastened itself upon my mind --the (sunshine, the flowere, the beauty of the emitter morning, the fair young Mee that looked into mine. Is he not good and true?" she asked, when I had read the letter. lovehim verymucic "Onglit notto i 1 I , g mannan ?,. I did not answer; knowiug what I knewt I felt like a traitor to the ' Yount; girl, so utterly unconscious of the .trial that awaited her. "Do not look so grave," she said; "smile at me, and let us talk about Minn, Let me ile quite happy for at least one hour this beautiful morn • - .11- I had a lot the heart to refuse her. She gave herself up to the charm of the love that filled her heart, of the etihshine that fell around her. Many . a long day passed, many a sun rose ) and set before she spent a happy (tour again. ' ;she could not write to him in reply, she said; he would have left India before her letter could reach him. "But there is no need to write," she went on. "I shall want nothing more than the thought that I ata to see bine so soon." Poor child, she was so utterly un- conscieus of the coming trial that I feared for her. She scolded me, and said I was dull and tiresome—that I did not sympathize with her ; but she left me with the same bright smile upon her face, ,the ,same gay words upon her lips. Late that afternoon a note was placed in my !rands; it was from, Mr. Carew, saying that Blanche had gone to Richmond and that he wanted to epeak with me. I knew then that my fears were realized, and I felt that he wanted nee to break the news of Al- lan Ohariton's, proposal to his daugh- ter, and to urge its acceptance upon leer. I foresawa (tow this girl's heart would be torn, between love for 13ugh biostyn and the desire to see her father happy again. I resolved that I would not be the one to spealt to her. I would mot derail from the sweet lips the cup of hap- piness that had so lately brimmed over ; mine should not be the hand to snatch the hope from that young life. Mr. Carew was alone when I reach- ed the cottage. He welcomed rue warmly, and seemed anxious to de- lay- as long as possible naming the purpose for which he had requested tee interview; "You are my child's best friend," he began at length ; "Miss Wood, yd:u have been almost a mother to her ; you will be pleased to hear some very good news I Dave to tell you." "'Indeed I shall," I replied heart- ily. and then there was an awkward little pause. "You must see It in the same light as I do, Miss Wood," lie continued, rubbing Ills thin stands nervously to- gether. "It is an offer of marriage I have received for her, and such a good offer, too." From Captain Mostyn, T sup- pose?" I said, innocently, "I am glad Blanche will never care for anyone else." t, . 'No," lie replied, angrily ; "that was all childish nonsense. '"itis is from a rich man. Will you believe me, Miss Weed, when I tell you that Allan Charlton has aiked me for my daugh- ter's hand, and says that if site will but marry him lie will settle the Croome estate ppon her as a wed- ding gift ? Oi ly think of it, I eh :•uld go back to Croome once more." He Iooked to wistfully at me, so old, so shrunken and helpless, that I could net help my heart aching with pity for him, although I felt the bargain was a cruel one, a mere matter of Bale and barter. " You will be on my side, will you not," he urged in trenulous tones, "and if Blanche still has any non- sense about Captain Mostyn in Iter mind, allow her alt tate advantages of such a marriage as this? I have not grumbled, Mise Wood, but I miss my oft comfort so much. Sometimes I feel weak, and would give anything for only one glass of wine such as I liad at Croome.

The postoffice in Sit, Paul is an old affair, and great caution has to be taken with the mails to prevent their being nibbled by the rats and mice. Many efforts have been made to get a cat that would appreciate its official position and work in the interest of the government, but all failed, until finally a cat came that evidently meant business.

Hie courage and good conduct won for him the favor of I)luetetlan, and he was rapidly pro - nutted by that Emperor to the] rank of tribune, but 'viten that tyrant be- gan las persrcutions of the Christ - lane, George threw np his commis- sion anti boldly ll0n4000 !tins for his cruelty. So bold on act naturally led, to his being thrown into prison, where lie was first tempted by promises to re- nounce his faith, and, on refusing to do so, was tortured but vainly with the utmost refinement. On the followingday le was beheaded atfoo pmts. These facts are, d c a , ac- cording to the investigations of learned writ ere, absolutely authentic, but round the history of the Saint many graceful legends, mostly of Slav origin, have been woven. not the least quaint of which are his hand-to-hand encounter wittt the magician Athanaslus and his ad- ventures with the Dragon whilst en- deavoriug to rescue a captive maid. Tho Slav legend concerning St. George le exceedingly plettneeque, end is the one generally chosen by painters and sculptors. It seems that under Diocletian the fair Slavontan princess, Sophia the Wise, brought in- to this world a beautiful child, whose legswere of maus,eive silver np to the knees and whose arms were a1 pure gold from the elbows to the wrists which did not, however, pre- vent the ineant from using his limbs freely. When he grew up to man's estate lie asked leis mother to al- low him to go earth and fight for the cause of Christ. "Willingly, my son," said she. "Go thou and May the Emperor of Rome who is the arch -enemy of Ouir Lord and His Holy Church, but first of affil go forth in- to the beautiful land of Russia and convert the people there to the faith." The youth sett' out upon a milk - white steed. In those fair -off times Russia was covered by dense forests, wide were full of snakes, dragon's, and outer loathsome reptiles. George rode on and on through these terrible forests, slaying thousands of hor- rible creatures and converting hun- dreds of thousands of poor savages, so many indeed, that he had to bap- tise them with a kind of eyphon, or colossal squirt, at least so we be- hold hire engaged in the vividly col- ored looms which are to be found in every Eastern church. At length he fell into the hands of the Emperor Diocletian, who was so exasperated with him that he caused him to he thrown into a cauldron of boiling pitch. As he emerged from this or- deal unscathed, the angry Emperor next oast shim In a cave, the en- trance of which was bricked up so that no air could possibly enter, lett alone food or drink.

An angel now said to George, "Take this ar- row and shoot at the tyrant, and you will kill him." George obeyed, and Diocletian fell dead, but at the same time Our Lady, who wished that the Saint should win the glori- ous crown of martyrdom, allowed a pagan soldier to slay him with a poisoned arrow, and thus it happen- ed that as the Saint ascended to heaven he was privileged to behold the soul of the .wicked Diocletian descending into (tell.

It is strange, but it often happens. Somehow the ounce produces the pound; it seems to start the digestive machinery going prop. erly, so that the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food, which he could not do be- fore, and that is the way the gain is made. A certain amount of flesh is necessary for health; if you have not got it you can get it by taking Scoll,s# RION emosamistesla 1 You will find it just as useful in summer as in winter. and if you are thriving upon it don't stop because the weather is warm. 5oc. end :;r.00, all druggists, 6COTT & DOWNS, Toronto, Canada.
