' Women sometimes give up met; nay, would even seek out and kneel before their future wives; let them be models of wisdom and good- ness; but "let him marry his grand- mother," is the inner thought of that agonized heroism, It was a selfish, feeling akin to this, which made Georgy accept the vision of Mr. Erskine's marriage, which rose :before her. She was brought back to the ball, "he people, and the recollection of .airs. Evelyn Lorraine's greatness, by Ur. Erskine, who had come to ask her to dance with him. She assent- ed, struggled through a quadrille, laughed and talked, and explored the refreshment -room; till suddenly he asked, in mentioning the day when . she had first arrived at their house, "Was I not in a detestably gloomy; humor u thatmorning?" It was said laughingly and gently, and yet, it an- noyed her intensely she did not like l that cool way of making amends, if any were required. She answered laughing, but shortly: "Indeed, I did not remark any alteration in you."

Eta- ' -kine went rapidly upstairs and George' followed, but stood with her hand upon her door, and listened as .she heard Mr. Erskine's voice down- • stairs, and his footsteps as he went into his sitting -room. f he would not have prolonged her visit there a day, if by her own wish she could have done so; and get, she reckoned up every hour that yet remained to her, as a miser would his hoard; :every footstep that she heard, and • every time she looked at him, she • computed as a sort of gain. Then a twinge of vexation came upon her, •• as she still heard those words, "Was I not in a detestable humor that morning?" They had been said with • a faint tone of royalty, which made the remembrance of thein intolerable to her. She felt that she was in a false • position. What had she cone there for? and the words returned to her again, carrying 'With than a homily of their own. Then she tried to turn .against him, to criticise hila, and to reflect coldly; but she could not find ;in her heart one harsh thought. All • that he said was well said; all that he did, was well done. She loved i ; hint in all ways, as mothers love their children; for his virtues, and " still more for his Malts. Then she started again, and her heart beat violently as she heard his footsteps when he carne upstairs and shut the door of his room. Life was very long, she thought, as she lay down that night, and remembered that one morn day would end this. The next morning passed quickly. • Georgy never saw Mr. Erskine, and in the evening she was left alone .again. There was a lurking hope in her breast that perhaps he would come again; it had grown up in spite of herself. She had not seen him all that day, and so—perhaps; but it grew late, and her vision was not destined to be realized. She sat at the window, watching the line of lamps which seemed to urge the de- parture of the summer twilight. Those lamps, and that dull, bald • street, they meant home to her: and to -morrow she would leave home, -and never find it again. She always knew his footsteps, and felt his ap- proach ; but this time Mr. Erskine had pushed back the curtain which -•hung between the drawing -rooms, . and was standing by her before she was aware of his presence. "Oh! you have comet" 'she said, ,abruptly, "Why, did you expect me?" "No; not at all," she answered (still more abruptly), and took up her work, sitting with her back to the window, Where she could not by, .any possibility see. "You cannot see." "I forgot," she said, laughing, and .turned towards the window. "You aro very industrious." "Well, one Must do something." Piles Torture ['luny People 'Who do not understand the nature of their ailment, and Imitate to undergo a local examination. Piles, or hemorrhoids, are small turners, which form in and about the orifice of the -rectum. They are caused by an enlarged and inflamed condition of the veins, which are very numerous in this portion of the body. Piles frequently attack women during the ex- pectant period or after childbirth. In bleeding piles the hemorrhage is some- times so profuse as to cause death. Protruding piles are the most dreaded 'because it is commonly believed that a surgical operation is the only means of cure. Any form of piles causes dreadful suffering • on account of the itching and burning which accompany them. One can scarcely walk at times, and during the night, when the body :gets warm, suffering is intense. Dr. Chase's Ointment is the only absolute . and guaranteed care for every form of piles.

Then there was a short pause. She had never men- tioned Grainthorpe to him when she could help it; never spoke to hint of her quarrel with her uncle; and if ho ever alluded to it, always reso- lutely passed over the subject—now he mentioned it suddenly. "Goorgy—Miss Sandon, are you not very happy; at Grainthorpe?" She looked up at hint and colored. "Tell me, if it is not an impertinent question; you were engaged by your uncle's desire, not your own." "No, no, T did it—it was my do- ing—I wanted to get away—I did it," she said, rather incoherently. "My child, was it only to get away from Grainthorpe, that you engaged. yourself?" She got up quick,y, and going to the window, sat down there and said, "It was very foolish of me; but I shall make myself quite happy at Grainthorpe; I am not going to marry at all." "Not?" • "No." She did not see him half smile at her effort to brave it out unconcern- edly. She had never looked so child- like as whenshe u t•i ed h t at delib- erate 1'tb - o orate decision, "No!" and she was too unconcerned to look at him. IIe sat down beside her in the window, and bent very near her. He had bent down so once before; and her heart beat as it had done once before, by the pianoforte at the Grange. There was so much deference, and so much gentile respect in his manner, and yet, it was so calmly- assured—it al- ways fascinated and mastered her. "Do you love no one, then?" He took her hand; but his sentence appeared so completely finished, that she drew back, and snatched her hand away. It seemed as if he were cross-questioning her at his pleasure. For one instant he looked at her as she crimsoned, and her eyes grew angry and full of tears ; then he said, quite humbly: "Could you ever he my wife? Do you love me enough?" • She did not lift. her eyes, and, as if the words were very difficult to speak. she said: "You know I do." CHAPTEIL XIV. The world's course was not arrest- ed that night; all was the sante as it had ever been;. but to Georgy there was another world, and a new life, for she was engaged to James Ers- kine. IIe had come near her, at last, and she had some possession in one who had so long held her. It was a knowledge like that of heaven, too good to be all embraced at once; and her surprise was so great that it seemed as if that evening was still a vision. She had made Mr. Erskine smile by the way in which she deprecated the mention of the few days during which she had been en- gaged to Stephen; and James had talked, he knew so well how—talk- ed those commonplaces, which onto in a lifetime sound so sublime to every one. The two people in the drawing -room started as they heard the wheels of the brougham which announced Mrs. • Erskine's return; Georgy looked at Mr. Erskine. "There is my mother." "Yes, here she is. Good -night," she said, timidly. "We will talk to her to -morrow," he answered. "Good -night, then." Goorgy did not like the word to- morrow; she would have given a great Ileal if she could have retarded Mrs. Erskine's arrival but one half- hour, and to have spoken to her then; emt had not the courage to meet her at that moment. They had neither of them left the room when Mrs. Erskine appeared: they need not have been afraid, however, for she was one of_ those people who either see, everything or nothing. Once struck, she would perhaps have di- vined a love affair, a secret, or some ..idclon entanglement, very quickly and justly; or, on the other hand, such a web might have beco woven from beginning to and before her eyes, without doubt or thought upon the subject entering her mind. She was too thoroughly engrossed by hoe own preoccupations, was always too actively doing, and participating too directly in everything, for keen ob- servation; and, like many of us, she would judge far • more correctly' of people who were unconnected with her, than of those who lay nearest to her. Airs. Erskine was surprised that Georgy had not gone to bed, when she knew how tired they should be to -morrow by their jpurney. Why had James come home so early? It was very late, but still elle wanted to talk to hint a little. Georgy dis- appeared, and ;tames listened rather absently to his mother's tails about Julia, money platters, etc. He would not tell her that night; he kneey that it would be a blow to her rather indefinite and exalted vis- ions; but sho liked Georgy very much, and he soon saw her reconciled to the prospect. James bade his mother good -night, and then went down to his own room, in a More composed state of mind than Georo Was in that night. But ho really loved her; her youth and her simplicity were a pleasant resting -place for his thoughts. IIe knew, too, that she loved him; knew it with a Certainty that left no room for doubt or anxiety. Constance Eve orett had been the passion of his life, and he had lavished adoration upon her, which ho could never have to spend again; it could not be.

OS per rove to any other human being. Love is never equal. It was very truly said: "11 y a toujours 1'un "tui baise, l'autre qui tend la jouc." • Constance Ira.d repaid him well for a long friendship. Six months ago she had written him a taunting, bit- ter letter and thus freed herself from tho necessity of keeping up un ac- quaintance which might h.avo become importunate. She was rich and in- dependent, and had no further need of him. So closely had one event followed the other, that he half be- lieved she knew, if not of her hus- band's death, at least that he was past the hopes of recovery, when she had written to him. A short, formal note, which he had addressed to her a little time afterwards, had re- mained unanswered, and he had ev- ery reason to believe that she had cast huff off. The circumstantial evi- dence respecting the date of her hus- band's death, andf a her letter, t • tats strong, and his doubts had gradual- ly become certainties. All people have sometimes a season of mental desperation and aberra- tion, when they do exactly what their friends would least expect. Mr. Erskine had loved Georgy during the reaction of disappointment; because he was thrown back upon himself and needed something to love, and ' a uR be.cti e, perhaps, she: was the very opposite of Constance. To him (icor- gy had never willingly spoken of her quarrel with her uncle, and her re- fusal to marry Captain Anstruther. If he ever mentioned it, she always grew reserved, and she had never once in any way placed herself be- fore him, so as to ask his sympa- thy. This touched him; for she knew at least that he liked her, though she had never any idea of turning that liking to her own profit. So all through these days, when she had been colder; and had shown less out- ward satisfaction at his presence than formerly, he had been more really drawn towards her than he had ever been before. She had not known it, for she was too much engrossed to retain any in- ward self-possession in her observa- tion of him, Ile was too close to her note; he interested her too deeply; she could neither observe rightly, nor judge him truly. Till that evening, slie had never thought it possible that he should really care for her; though a far duller person than she was might have discovered it. - There was no truer proof of how much he had loved Constance, than this sudden transition of feeling. This was not heroic; perhaps not sentimental; but it sometimes hap- pens in this world. Insensibly: his resolution had been formed, al- though the acting upon it that even- ing was a sudden impulse. Now a calm future lay before him, and love which was to be freely given, not earned with difficulty. Now the deed was done, and the longing for the home and the fireside, which a wife alone can gratify, was to be satis- fied. He was very happy, but quiet- ly happy, and rather thought that that was the best state of mind in which to enter upon matrimony. As he turned to leave the room, his eye fell by chance upon a picture there, a pretty French engraving, lunging over the chimney -piece. G4scle was the figure's name. Who isele was, mattered little to him; ,lie had once bought it, because it had really a striking likeness to. Con- stance Everett. Now, he felt pro- voked with himself for having evee put it there. The picture sobered him, and brought the involuntary thought, "I am not young." Who is young before the recollection of a dead passion? CHAPTER XV. • The next day came, bringing with it cares and events which pressed on, utterly regardless of the two lovers. James was suddenly oppressed by fresh affairs, and Mrs. Erskine alarm- ed and grieved by evil tidings of her sick daughter. It was a hurried, unsatisfactory morning that they passed; and not through a spirit of procrastination did James defer to announce his en- gagement to his mother, but really because she was so unhappy that it would have seemed a selfishness to have troubled her with it that morn- ing; although he disliked that mode of communication, still, he Would write to her. Georgy was disappointed, when, in the middle of the day, the hour for their departure arrived. James said that he would write to his mother; or, if Georgy liked it better, should ho wait till in a few days he was able to go to Milithorpe Grange, and join them? Site wished that he had dons it al- ready; but it was ahmost with indif- ference that she replied: "It should be as ho liked," and did not even state her preference for waiting till he came. She startled !lint a little by her indifference. "But whet do you wish?" he said again, impatient !or an answer. "Well, then, 1 should like butter to wait till you come ---much better -- Mr. Erskine." "Will you never call me by my name?" "Very well, Sautes," she said, laughing and coloring, bdt coming a little nearer to him. She had begun by committing a capital error, very early in love. She had no twill Apart from his, and never reflected holy plush this might make her lose. He was her god; ou t she did tot r utenber thathCott1d not read her heart; and elle was not always careful enough to answer o leis. far more demonstrative antiu'e; and towards a lover, such a nature is, often a !misfortune. All this did not apply, however, that day. for they were both happy, and both talked and laughed at ev- ery moment which could be disposed of; and then, at last, ('aide the time when, they must sentient e, That morning was the first time that Georgi' had ever been in Jauaes' sit- ting -room downstairs, cult one of her first exclamations was: "Oh, that engraving is very ill Airs. Everett!" "Do you think so?" "Yes; how pretty and graceful she 1st" "Very," he said, coldly, "Poor thing, she had a melancholy fate; it is well that she is n widow taoty.a" . "W's she unhappy with her head or her heart, I wonder?"—and one of his rapid changes of expression passed quickly over his face; he seemed about to speak again of her, but did not, and went on quickly to talk of something else. "What are yon looking at?" he asked, as she bent. down to one of the lowest shelves, where she had taken out a thick, purple -colored book—"Ohl that is the Bible which my father---" "I want it," she said, Laughing, but very shyly—"I want it—give it to me—I remember it, a long time ago." "Where?" "In that little old room at Monk - lands, where you found me that day you drove me home so late.," "Poor old Monklantis! Yes, I re- member • tc >r v tt•11 <. the day I found you there, and , how pleasant you were," he answered, in a loving, courtly tvay. That day Mrs. Erskine and Georgy set off; James went with thein to the station. All these days he had taken a thousand little cares of Georgy— towards those whom he loved he was almost womanly in the service and attention he lavished 00 then?; and a short time had so accustomed Georgy to this, that it was not only James that she missed, but his care and protection. She ''as still con- fused with happiness. Mrs. Erskine talked of Julia, about whom she was very anxious; the more so as she was still forbidden to see her. Each time Georgy look- ed at the old eitenman, something weighed upon her heart, which she only stifled by the thought that surely her love was worth some- thing to James; but how would Mrs. Erskine, who had been kind to her, take the consequences which that kindness had brought forth? Georgy was softened by happiness, which brought, too, its own revelations. She had not so nuacit pitied herself, as grown listless and apathetic all these years. The old teaching of her childhood, which had grown cold and meaningless to her, returned. Why had she dome this? Why had she let those feelings slide out of her heart which it is often a wo- man's part to keep alive in man? Why had she so lost thenn only through 1}er earthly- love ? She felt everytjhing through' that, and now could jowly so repent. If she had sometimes ' said within herself that she had dene nothing to deserve her fate, she est that she certainly. had done notli'ng beyond others to en- title her o have her whole mind so granted, he saw things now that she had never seen before; only re- cognized . them amongst the moral commonplaces which we repeat our- selves, and which have no real mean- ing to us. She did not love her lov- er because of his intellect—she had long felt that. None ever truly lov- ed who did not quickly shrink from the blasphemy of such a definition.

Harry Biggar, a colonial graduate, writing to The Times from Paris, re University of Oxford and colonial graduates says: ' "In view of the facilities for graduate study offered elsewhere, some effort should be made to improve tho condition of affairs in England if colonial graduates are to be attracted." Mr. Biggar says: "Tho United States not only at- tracts, but also retains, some of the best Canadian youths. It seems pret- ty well agreed that the Rhodes scholars will bo graduates.
