Travelers by land or sea are liable to constipation or other derangements of the stomach and bowels which, if neglected, lead to serious and often fatal consequences. The mostsure means of correcting these evils is the use Of Ayer's Cathartic Pills. The pre - dent sailing -master would as soon go to sea without Ids chronometer as without a supply of these Pills.

He stands in the big, room amid the gorgeous fnrniture, the glittering plate—the "tea" was a banquet in reality—the rare and costly flowers ; his glance rests on his wife's diamonds, and satiefies hin that no other lady present has jewels so numerous and valuable, and leis self -complacency is perfect. The "tea" was over, the drawing -room folk hail departed to rest awhile, before re- smuttier,their respective stations upon the treachnill of "society ;" Celia was confer- ring with her maid about a ball gown, and Paul was chewing the cud of seine bitter fancies in the billiard -room, when -Mr. Cole- brooke entered his wife's luxurious dressing - room, where Markin was lying upon a safe, divested of her court dress. Mr. Colebrooke carried a leather -covered box in his hand, and without a word, approached a table on which the ornaments his wife had worn were arranged in an orderly manner. He delib- erately counted the ornatuents, comparing the result with a list that lay beside them, placed them in the box, locked it, and hav- ing carried it down to his own sitting -room en the ground floor, deposited it in an iron safe, cunningly concealed by a carved wood panel in the wainscot. This curious pro- ceeding had not moved his wife to raise her eyelids or utter a word, it was evidently in the usual order of tbiugs. There was a good deal in the usual order of things at the great house in Lancaster Gate, which the outer world knew nothing about. Ten years before, the "luck " of the pretty, penniless widow of Paul Daventry had been a favorite theme with Mr. Cole- brooke's friends'when the successful man, a hving advauced in one year by several strides mehis way to colossal wealth, mar- ried her. What a fine thing it was for her, and for her handsome, spirited, but hard -to - manage boy 1 Since then, it had proved a still finer thing for Mrs. Daventry, fox gr. Colebrooke became wealthier each year; she had every luxury that the heart of the most exacting woman could desire, and no child had come to interfere with the splendid prospects of Paul Daventry's son, whom all her friend's regarded as Robert Colebrooke's heir. But Marion knew better, she knew that Colebrooke hated the boy, riud thatthe fair face he turned to the worlct m his re- gard was a mask, which he might throw aside at any moment, and wore only during her own good behavior. Mrs. Colebrooke possessed everything ex- cept money ; she might order anything she pleased from the most expensive shops in London, but she could not give away a crown. Her bills were sent to Mr. Colebrooke and paid without comment, but he insisted upon verifying her possession of every item,and he kept her diamonds in his own custody. She should have no chance of getting money for her son beyond the niggardly allow- ance width lie doled out to Paul. To all re- monstrance and entreaty he was absolutely deaf; he had this one means of punishing the women whom he had conquered but could not subdue, and he used it with themerci- lessness of his nature. She dared not oppose him in Word or action because he had in re- serve that powerful weapon, the exposure of her dead husband to the son who had not the faintest suspicion of the truth, and whom she had taught to cherish his father's mem- ory. How could she ever have Married Colebrooke? This was the only question implying a doubt of his mother's love and wisdom that everoccurred to Paul Daventry, end it was one that •could not be put or answered.. . Mr. Colebrooke had decided that Paul, now twenty-one, should be put into his busineep, a decision Which was against the wishes of both mother and son. money to talee me out, al c said nothing until we could tell you all, and now we want your motion and your Messina; we care for nothing else." When Marion had recovered herself suf. ficiently to discuss Paul's project with calm- nes% she became resigned to it, and even thankful. Her own communications with her brothee had been rare and superficial; he knew little of her life, nothing of her sufferings ; she regarded her son's action as alma an inspiration. She could better beer to be parted from him knowing that he was hopeful and working ger himself, than to be a witness of his present humiliating life. She stipulated that the disclosure of Paul's intention to Mr. Colobrooke should be made by her in her son's absenee, and he, lighthearted and content, did not suspect her of any deeper motive than to keep the . peace. On the point of Celia's acknowledg- ing that she Was engaged to Paul the lovers were not to be personated. "He cannot prevent it," said Paul, "but your life and Celia's would be unbearable if he could constantly reproach you with it. In three years Celia will be out cf his power, and who knows but that I may be a rich man by that time. At all events, Ill try." Mr. Colebrooke happened to be in a very bad huinor the next day. ,A political event of great importance, and totally =looked for, formed the chief item of the morning's news ; and that event involved the loss of a large sum of money to the speculating stock- broker. His wife did not know or care any thing about the fhtetuations of his business, and she imputed his rude, overbearing vio- lence solely to the unwelcome matter of her communication. Site allowed the storm of oaths and threats to exhaust itself and then said quietly : for her hand, and of late the fAtentions of taken his all, as my ransom from worse thae one of those had been pressed upon her, not slavery, But I will not ask him for money only by the gentleman biome% but else' by 'for you.

Marion is known as Mrs, Daventry. Uncle John's money really did set Mr. Colebrooke and the Hon. Gustavus Rourke on their stockbroking legs again, and the confederates are flourishing. Mr. Cole - amok° has once more a fine house, in the comparative obsenrity of Eaton Square," and he gives big parties, of a somewhat "mixed" complexion. It is not very clear about Mrs. Colebrooke, some say there never was a Mrs. Colebrooke, others insist that there was, that they have seen and dimly remember her; but—there was a story—she drank, or went mad, or "something."It is of 110 consequence, for the Hon. Mrs. Rourke "receives" for the grass widower and does it very well, considering that her school of manners was her shopkeeper pa,pa's back parlor. As, however, the on. Mrs. Rourke is very rich the noble kinsfolk of the Hon.

She looked forward with dread to Celia's birthdey, which was. to have been celebratea with greet display in the fine house on which Merlon bad Mrned her back with en- tire indifference; for she felt instinctively that Mr. Culebrooke's guardianship aceounts and the secret of Rourke's intimacy with him, were conneetea somehow. She had not, however, to wait so long for the resolu- tion of her doubts. The birthday was yet more than a week off', when 'Marion was startled by an exelamation uttered by Mr. Colebrooke from behind his newspaper. "Ferris Town'Victoria:" he cried. ."Is not Ferris Town the name of your brother's district?" . "It is the name of my brother's station," said Marion quietly. Mr.Colebrooke handed her the paper. "There," said he, "your brother is the luckiest man in the colony today, and will probably be one one of the wealthiest: Look here." The news occupied only a few lines. "Uncle John" had discovered by pure acci- dent a mine of opals en his laud, and a cas- ual tourist -expert, on a visit to him at the tune, pronounced the gems to be of the fin- est, indeed of =equalled quality. • . "This will make Paul's fortune," was Marion's first thought. That night her hus- band told her the truth. The whole of the money he held in trust for his orphan niece was gone. "I speculated with it, trying to save my- self," he said.
