THE CHIMNEY CORNER.

THE STORY OF A DREAM. CHAPTER 11.—Continued. It was by no means a pleasant day that I passed. The shadow of death brooded heavily over the household. The two old maids arrived and dissolved into tears, and then as suddenly re vived in the presence of Mrs. Clayton, with whom they were on terms of deadly enmity. Then the w-hole trio united in being specially disagreeable to me, and gave vent to malicious in sinuations regarding fortune hunters and toadies.. Lady Helen kept to her own room, and did not favor us with her presence at all. 1 went out in the park again,in the afternoon, and wished Sylvia was there to keep me company. I visited the spot where I saw her in the morning, and was conscious'■■ that the glade was divested of some special charm Ahat it possessed then. I had never thought ■ much about women hitherto, certainly never cared whether I met the same one twice or not, but I felt, that my thoughts were always returning to, my companion of the morning. “How sw r eet and fair she looked,” I thought, “ and sometimes better even than her beauty is that honest, truthful light in her clear, soft eyes. A girl one _ could trust and love passing well- is Sylvia. Heigho 1 I suppose when I go away from here I shall never see her again. ; I hope my uncle has left her well off. It is a sad. lot to be so friendless ; as she seems. I wonder if Lady Helen 1 is unkind; to her ? I almost fancy she is.” Then I strolled homeward in the pale spring twilight, conscious, for the Erst time in my life, that the prospect of my not seeing a woman again was able, tb- ‘produce serious uneasiness within my hitherto, untroubled heart.

CHAPTER 111. The funeral was over, , chad: been a gorgeous enough’ • pageant,, and largely attended. We : Were all back at Silverdesne now, and "assembled in the gfeat drawing-room to hear' the will read: ' ; The fussy, pompous, family lawyer was full of the importance of his posi tion. He sat at the table, parchment in hand, awaiting the arrival of the . widow. : A4Viien she entered -evefyeye. turned on her. Calm, stately, regal-, looking as any queen, she sailed through: the room, looking even more beautiful - in her widow’s dress than I had thought ther berore. She leant on the arm of a tall, thin, sharp-featured elderly man, a man at whom .Mr. Dollerton, the lawyer, 'darted a’suspicious glance. Just before Lady Helen seatedoherself, she looked; calmly round on the. assembled circle, then, with a courteous wave of • her hand introduced the stranger thus : . “ Mr. Hanway —my solicitor,” Mr. Dollerton Bristled up. The in dividual in question bowed gravely and profoundly. Then we seated, ourselves again, and I once more feasted my eyes on Sylvia’s flower-like beauty, and paid but little attention to the formal monotonous phrases falling from the lawyer’s lips. Yet something at last collected my scattered thoughts and brought me back to the business of the moment.

; Was it the sound of Sylvia’s name, or the burning blush on Sylvia’s cheek ? I was not quite sure which at first. I looked away from the girl’s embarrassed face, and gave my attention to the lawyer. ' A strange sensation of bewilderment, incredulity, disgust crept over me as from that mass of involved and mean ingless words I gathered these facts : “ And I give and bequeath all my estate, . real and personal, with no exception soever (after the payment, of the aforementioned legacies), to roy nephew,' Clive. Paterson Graham, on this sole condition—that within, one year after my decease the said Clive Paterson Graham do take for his wife my ward and faithfully attached adopted daughter, Sylvia Heigh.” There was much more, but I did not hear it. The- whole room whirled round and round: The lawyer’s voice sounded far Off and indistinct! I was utterly unable to .analyse my feelings, but was conscious of a burning shame and indignation. : I dreaded to look at the girl whose name was still tingling in my ears. I felt as if she too must ex perience this horrible -Sensation ; as if she, too, must long, as I longed, for the earth to open and swallow lis up, and hide our poor shame-stricken faces from the cold and scornful and malicious eyes around. The words ceased. There was a moment’s intense silence. Then, clear and cold as an ice blast, came the sound of Lady Helen’s voice : “ I congratulate Miss Leigh upon her successful scheming, but I feel in duty bound to remark that there is a later will than the one just read—a will drawn up. by Mr. Han way, my own lawyer, and left", in my late husband’s possession but a month before he died. Let that wilb be looked for ere this one is accepted as final.” Then followed a scene of great con fusion. The hubbub of the voices almost deafened me. I looked round for Sylvia, but she was~ gone. The two lawyers went off to search for the missing document, but, after two hours of vain labor among the old man’s desks and papers, - declared that no other will could be found.

Lady Helen was too well bred to make a scene. She only said calmly : “ I trust, Mr. Graham, that you will allow time for a proper, search before accepting this will as final.” I ' or course prayed her to take as long as she pleased, or her solicitor deemedi necessary, and ; she thanked me .twth. apparent; cordiality. . ~ TjifnC ,Mr^. ; . jClaytonj who had an eight hundred pounds legacy in pros pect, gave vent to a few spiteful remarks and left, speedily followed by the old maiden cousins, who had been ignored altogether. Mr. Dollerton came up to me, and shook hands-cordially. “ I congratulate you, Mr. Graham,” he said.l bis a very- equitable and admirable arrangement; a trifle eccen tric, but that* is only in keeping with my late.client’s whole conduct through life.”

,«-Tj3ut ypu are prematurem your con- i said coolly. -.*in the first place, the bequest is saddled with a bequest I may not be able to fulfil.

In second, Lady Helen declares there is a more recent will than this.”

He shook his head and smiled benignly, “ All nonsense, all nonsense, my good sir. There is no later will. Your uncle trusted me with all his affairs. Is it likely he would call in that sour-visaged interloper yonder, and engage him to draw up another after this one was signed and witnessed ? No ; I don’t credit it for a moment. It is a ruse of Lady Helen’s to gain time. You see, she has been expecting to in herit everything. That’s wiry she schemed and planned to marry him. Often and often has she told me that. He has left her only five hundred pounds a year, and the estate is worth twelve thousand, all of which she counted on possessing.” “ But the—condition,” I said, hesitat ing, arid conscious ot the hot blush that stained both brow’ and cheeks at the words.

“ Is it a very hard one ? ” he said w r ith a smile. “A beautiful, amiable, and accomplished girl like Miss Leigh. There are plenty of men who would envy you her more even than your fortune. I think you have great cause for thankfulness myself.”

But I was silent and disturbed. This had taken me utterly by surprise. No thought of marriage had ever entered my head yet, and to be brought face to face with it as an adjunct to so large a fortune naturally startled me consider ably. If I did not wed Sylvia she would- be a beggar; for in case of either of us refusing to comply with the conditions of the will the whole was to go to some public charity; so in ho way could I help the girl to the fortune that she had been brought up to con sider as her own in the future. No wonder I was sorely perplexed and puzzled. As I stood there, debating these questions in my mind, Lady Helen glided slowly up to me. “ Let me give you a word of advice, Mr. Graham,” she said, in that clear hard voice of hers. “Do not count too surely on your fortune or your wife. 1 There has been foul play in this matter :if Lam not much mistakenj and: when the affair is thoroughly sifted I doubt whether Miss Leigh’s part will look as honorable in your eyes as it does now.” “ Lady’ Helen,” 1 answered indig nantly, “I do not understand your imputations, nor do I think they become you as a, woman. I can make due allowance for disappointed feelings, but I cannot hear you accuse one who I am sure is innocent of the very! shadow of the dishonor which your' words impute.” She drew back, and looked at me from under frowning brows that gave her beautiful face a dark and stern ap pearance.

“You are over eager in your championship,”, she said with a faint sneer. “ But I can make allowance fo you also, knowing how much is at stake.” •

; ■“ I cannot force you to believe in the singleheartedness of my I answered, 1 stung to wrath by the base ness Of her insinuation, “Time will prove them,best. I only hope for your sake that this later will may be found. You will understand me better then.” And with a distant bow I turned away and then left the room. My brain was in a whirl. I longed for cool air and solitude. Not know ing whither I went, I rushed out into the park once more and wandered off with the heedless feet, too busy with my own perturbed thoughts and imaginings to pay any attention to exter nal surroundings. It startled me, there fore, to find myself in the little glade again where I had first met. Sylvia. It startled me still more to see that the pretty nook was not untenanted, but oh, it pained and grieved me most of all to see that slender, girlish figure lying there crushed and powerless with grief, shaken by heavy sobs that almost stifled her. “ How can I bear it ?” she moaned, and the anony in her voice cut me to the heart. “ Oh, God ! how can I bear it ?”

In one moment of swift and pas sionate sympathy I threw myself by her side.

pnt myself under his treatment Itm over sixty years old.—John Kiso. Aucidand, September 0, 1880. I. have been under Dr. Grant’s treatment since August 18 for deafness of both ears. lam returning home to Tauranga this day, quite cured, and can hear as well as ever I did, —Sydney Hoben. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. We can conscientiously recommed those suffering from deafness or other ailments that Dr. Grant has, made a special study of, to pay him a. visit, when, if curable patients, they may certainly'expect relief. An instance came under our notice on Thursday, in Hie case of a man named Charles Swanson, who had., been very deaf for three years, but, after ten days’ treatment, can now hear perfectly even the lowest whisper. .The cure is a rather remarkable one, as he had been under the care of many medical men, but has re ceived no benefit whatever from their treatment —New Zealander, Dec. 27, 1879. Mr. Earnest D'Egville Michau called at our office yesterday, and stated that he had been blind with the right eye all his lifetime. Hearing about Dr... Grant, the oculist, who is now on a visit to this city, he determined. .to: .give Jiim a trial. He bad only been under Dr, Grants treat ment ten or eleven.,days when he found ,t|xat he r could see largo objects at some dis tance. Mr. Michau. states that he had been under the treatment of some of the best medical paen at hpmej .but had not received the least ; , We; are at all times chary of accepting details of “ Wonderful cures,” but the young man wlio called at our office appeare I to be telling the truth, and was exceedingly grateful to Di’. Gant for the, relief, which he has ’already experienced. —New Zed land Times, Dec. 25, 1879.



‘Dr. Grant is also SPECIALIST in the DISEASES of WOMEN and CHIL DREN. :. ■ Dr, Grant lias recently effected a very remarkable cure in the case of-Mrs. D. Evans, of Kumara, yvlio Ha's btien under his treatment,for deafness.since : Feb- ,14, last: ; Mrs. Evans has been deaf in both ears for a very long period—no less-than 'thirtyyears'—-her’,affliction having been "caiiSedby h‘fever>’from which she.suffered severely. Since that time she has been 'almost totally deaf, for she could only: heat’ 1 tlie the loudest ’sounds.’ 'Since she has been under Dr., Grant’s, treatment,her hearing:’ has gradually: improved, so that how she can hear plainly’ conversation in : 'an‘ordinary' tone of voice. She Will re turn in a few days to Kumara perfectly ■well, and hr possession of the full faculty of which she has been so long deprived. West Coast Times, March 10, 1880. ... One of; the- employees'in the P.ublic Works office here has sent us the follow ing testimonial to • the-skill of Dr. Grant. He says “I wish to let you know that 'Dr. Gx-aritdias'greatly improved the hear ing of one of my, ears, the membrane of which was injured-some six years ago. I may add that.two surgeons, whom ,1 con sulted a 'short- time ago’,• .’considered the case incurable.” Dr.. Grant has also been very successful-in several difficult cases of disease of the eye.'— Hokitika Times, March 23, 1880. There are amongst Dr. Grant’s success ful eye cases at Hokitika, a young lady, at J. Jack’s, Esq., the Mayor, cured, by operation,' of: squinting ; and Mrs. Waverit, operation for artificial pupil;- ; Nelson, May 11, 1880. “I, Thos. Adams, have been under Dr. Grant’s treatment : for deafness of '; the,'left ear, from which I have suffered twe years, the result of a severe tropical fever. I find my Hearing greatly improved in the' short time—since April 30. —Thos. Adams.” 428 Advice to mothers.—Are you broken in your rest by-a sick child, suffering with the pain of cutting teeth ? Go at once to the chemist and get a bottle of Mrs. WINSLOW’S SOOTHING SYRUP. It will relieve the poor sufferer immediately. It is perfectly harmless ; it produces natural, quiet sleep by reliev ing the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes “ as bright as a button. ” It r has been: in use in America, and is highly recommended-by medical men.. It is very_ pleasant to take ; it sooths the child ; it softens'thegums, allays all pain, relieves, syind, regulates, the bowels, and is the best known remedy for dysentry and diarrhoea, ''whether.: arising' from eething idr other causes. Be sure and ask for Mrs. Winslow’s, .Soothing Syrup, and see that “Curtis and Perkins, New York and London,” is, on the outside wrapper. No mother should be without it. Sold by all medicine dealers, at Is. l|d.— Depot,. 493, Dxford street. TOHO is Mrs, WINSLOW? As this ' YV; question- is ■ frequently asked, we. shall simply say that she is a lady-who for upwards of thirty years has untireingly devoted her time and talents' as a female physician and nurse, principally among ’ children. She has especially studied the constitution and wants of this numerous ; class, and, as a result of this effort and : practical knowledge obtained in a lifetime ias nurse ; and-; physician,, she has ■ com pounded a SOOTHING SYRUP for Chil dren: - It operates like magic, giving rest, and health, 1 and .• is, ! moreover, sure : tb regulate the bowels. In consequence of this article, Mrs. Winslow is becoming : world-renouned as a benefactor .of .her race; i Children, certainly do rise up and bless her. : ; Especially is this ■ the base ih this city. Vast quantities of the Soothing ! Syrup are daily sold and used here. We 1 think Mrs Winslow has immortalised her name by this invaluable article,' and we : sincerely believe 1 that 1 thousands of chil dren have been saved from an early grave by its timely use, and .that millions yet unborn will share its benefits, and unite in i calling her blessed. No mother has dis charged her duty to her suffering little : one, in our opinion, until she has given it the benefit of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup; Try, it. -mothers-,,, try it now.—• Hadies’ Visitor, New York City.

VALUABLE DISCOVERY for the . HAIR. i A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, [called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE NE WER, now being; sold* by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3s. Gd. per bottle, is fast super ■ceding all the old restorers - and dyaa for the purpose of changing grey or white ihair to its natural original color, for it will positively restore the hair in every ease of greyness to its original color, with out dyeing it or leaving that offensive smell [which most of the hair preparations of the day do. This preparation has never been ■known to fail in restoring the hair to its natural color and gloss in from eight to twelve days. It promotes growth and prevents the hair falling out, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It imparts peculiar vitality to thetroots' of the: hair, restoring it to its' youthful ’* ; freshnbss 3 ' and- 'vigor. Daily applications of this preparation for a week or two will surely restore faded, grey, or white hair to its natural color and richness. It is not a dye, nor does it con tain any coloring ; matteri |pr offensive substance whatever.

Medical. /COCKLE’S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS—' These Pills consist of a careful and. peculiar admixture of the best and mild est vegetable aperients, with the pure px tract of the flowers of the'- camomile. They will be found a most efficacious remedy for derangement of the digestive organs, and for torpid action of the liver and bowels, which produce indigestion and the several varieties of bilious and liver complaints. They speedily remove the irritation and feverish state of the stomach, allay spasm, correct the morbid condition of the liver and organs subser vient to digestion, promote a due and healthy secretion of bile, and relieve the constitution of all gouty matter and other impurities, which, by circulating in the blood, most injuriously affect the - action of the kidneys ; thus, by removing the causes productive of so much discomfort, they restore the energies of both body and mind. To those who indulge in the luxuries of the table these pills will prove highly useful, occasioning no pain in their action, unless they meet with an unusual' quantity of acrid bile and acid matter in the stomach and’bowels. To Europeans on their arrival in India or China they are recommended as a preservative against the fatal disorders peculiar to tropical climates. Their occasional use, if com bined with the strictest attention to diet, will be frequently found to remove at once, by their influence over the secre tions, that congestive and unhealthy, con dition of the liver' which is so often the earliest antecedent of severe febrile and constitutional disturbance. It must be understood that these pills are not recommended as containing any new pr dangerously active ingredients; on the contrary, they are characterised by a remarkable simplicity of combination, and whatever merit' they may bo found to possess depends as much upon the selec tion of pure drugs, and the unusual labor and attention bestowed upon theirs subse quent preparation, as upon the acknow ledged peculiarity of their ; composition, They are not recommended as a panacea, nor are they adapted to all complaints; .but as a mild and efficacious aperient and tonio in the various; forms of indigestion, it will not, perhaps, be an exaggeration to state that they have been ■ resorted to under all systems of diet, changes of cli mate,- or atmospheric alternations! with an extraordinary degree of success: for upwards of seventy-eight .years;;.. This celebrated family aperient may be had throughout the United Kingdom in boxes ■at Is- l4d, 2s 9d, 4s : 6d,= and 11s Od, as ; well as m India, China, New Zealand, and ■ the Australian Colonies, , Keating’s Powder.
