THE CHIMNEY CORNER.

A LOYE STORY. ( Continued. ) “I say, old fellow,” said Frederick Burnet one afternoon as they were pull ing about the bay in a four-oar, “I believe the gorgeous Clara is actually smitten •with you. I never saw her take such evident interest in a fellow before. She absolutely mopes when you are not pre sent, and lights up when you appear, like—like ” “Fusees, Fred: you are generally staggered at metaphors. Or say lucifers, if you prefer it. ” “Talking of Lucifer,” said Burnet, “ you never saw Clara thoroughly in a rage, Golding. Somehow I think she has softened down, and got more lamb-like within the last week or two. I wonder if she would take to you ? You ought to go in at once, and try.” Golding made no reply; and they came upon the coast-guardsman. This coast-guardsman was quite an institution at Clevedown, as solid and as invariable in his way as Cleve Cliff. Sta tioned in front of an arrangement of flag staffs which resembled the mast and tackling of a ship, or else marching up and down a line of planks, which was to him as the quarter-deck, from which he from time to time threw a distrustful glance at the ccem, he presented a figure with which the visitors at Clevedown were familiar. They would often stop and speak with him, and take a look-out through the telescope from which he was never dissociated; though they never hy chance succeeded in discovering any thing by that dubious medium. In fact, the impossibility of making any object out by means of that telescope afforded to ignorant landsmen a clue to the habitual moodiness of the coast-guardsman. It was generally believed by the Clevedown visitors that no mortal soul had pene trated the haziness of that telescope, not even himself, but that he was pledged to maintain its character before the world, and the necessity of guarding so solemn a secret affected him with chronic depres sion. Anyway, he was a taciturn, irre concilable man; one not to be won over to confidences ; one who would never acqui esce in any statement, however self-evi dent, without opposing it first with a flat contradiction. “ Keeping a sharp look-out. Jack, eh ?” said Burnet in passing. “ No, sir,” returned the obstinate coast guardsman, “ I can’t say I am. I’m doing my duty. That’s what I’m doing. ” He shut up his telescope with an air which plainly said, “Tortures shall not wring from me the confession that this instrument is an awful imposition.” “ And that duty is to look after the other duty—the national duty—the revenue. And very proper too, Jack; you’re a patriot. Have a pull 1” The coast-guardsman relaxed in grira ness at the sight of the proffered pocket pistol. He even accepted it without qualification. “ Anything stirring?” asked Arthur. “ No, sir,” said th . coast-guardsman. “ There’s been a suspicious-looking craft cruising about, and Slippy Jem is not to be found. But we’ve got our eye on him, for all he’s so ’cute. ”

Slippy Jem, a gentleman suspected of being engaged in the smuggling way, was, like the celebrated telescope, a source of profound uneasiness to the coast-guards man. He had hitherto been cautious enough to keep clear of direct implicatisn with any smuggling transaction, though not of suspicion. This extreme wariness on Slippy Jem’s part was ai other reputed cause of the officer’s depression. “ Desperate villains, smugglers, arn’t they, Jack ! ” observed Burnet. “ Oh, they’re not desperate,” answered Jack contemptuously. “ Lord bless you, they’re not game enough to be desperate —at least not on this coast. Dp Kent way they show a little fight now and then, but here they haven’t the spirit of a tom cat. Why only about ten weeks ago, my mate came on a party of about twenty of ’em, running brandy. They had landed on the rocks out yonder, at night (it was precious dark), and they were hauling the casks with ropes up the cliff. When they caught sight of my mate, down they let the casks and was off in a jiffy. He’s less than me and I ain’t a big man, but he was enough for twenty of that sort. And Slippy Jem, he’s a nice fellow to call a smuggler, I don’t think. If he’d only come out and show himself, I’d know where to have him, But will he come out ? ” continued the coast-guardsman, in a tone of profound disgust. “Ko he won’t.”

This obstinate spirit on the part of Slippy Jem so affected the coast-guards man, that there was evidently nothing more to be had out of him. The two young men walked up the down towards the house.

“ I wonder what light would come into those eyes if I made love to her,” thought Arthur, with his mind on Clara ; “ whether they would soften now. Gad ! I shouldn’t go into raptures if they did— I don’t care for her • enough, in spite of her beauty. Still, I should like to try, as an experiment in natural history.” He sought her out that evening, and altered his manner towards her. Hither to sarcastic and indifferent almost to rude ness, he now adopted a gentler—even a tender tone. The change in him threw her into an almost childish delight. Her old enemy was at last striking his colours. Delicately, and with insiduous ap proaches, he narrowed his entrenchments, nearing the citadel day by day, until he knew that a sudden assault would carry it. As yet he had never told Clara Wraxall that he loved her, but he allowed her to infer it in a hundred nameless ways ; and in as many more he knew that she loved him. The inference left her very happy, and somewhat in a softer mood—certainly softer towards him. And he ? Weil, he was not in love with her as yet, though the unspoken love-making gratified him with the pride which conquest brings. They now spent most of their time together. The househould at the Burnets said they were engaged. Arthur and Clara said nothing. Three or four weeks went in this pleas ant manner, when an arrival aroused Arthur Golding to a sense of “his goings on. ” One day Burnet said— “ Golding, I’m soiry I shall have to leave you to-morrow ; but don’t let that hurry your departure. I’ve promised to look after some business for my father in Scotland, and must start at once. By the-bye, some cousins of ours are coming to-morrow, so you'll be consoled for the loss of one in the family circle. I com mend Kate Burnet to your special at tention, she is a nice little girl. But I forgot; you’re taken up already with the magnificent Clara. ” Next day the cousins arrived : the said Kate, her brother Edward, a lad of nine teen, and a mamma, a lady so aged and stiff-limbed that she seemed to have been excavated from some geological formation. A very short space of intercourse with the new-comers taught Arthur Golding two important facts. The first was that the youth Edward was as hopelessly and insanely in love with Clara Wraxall as a young man of his age generally is with somebody older than himself; the second was that Kate Burnet was a pretty, gentle girl, whom it would be quite pos sible to like very much at first sight, and love very much ever after. And then he fell suddenly and strangely in love with her. he could not tell how it happened, he could not reason on the matter at all ; he simply tumbled down a kind of amatory abyss, and came to con sciousness when he was at the bottom.

Ho had not interchanged many words with her, and he had been flirting des perately w.th Clara ; yet here he was at the end of it—all but engaged to Clara, and in love with Kate. He took himself to task severely, mentally shook himself, and metaphorically boxed his own ears for a senseless noodle. It was all to no pur pose. He did not like Clara a bit, and he ..oved Miss Burnet to adoration.

He watched that silly young Edward flutter round his goddess, and internally wished he could consign her, a human cargo, to Edward’s care, freight and imposts paid. He was afraid of Clara now, afraid lest she should discover the true state of his heart. Not for himself he feared, but for Kate. He could not say what that passionate natvlre might dare against a successful rival. He would pat an end to her hopes at all events by withdrawing himself. He had never declared his love ; it was only a mild flirtation, nothing more. Of what, then, could she complain ? It was a well-meant but a wrong-headed resolution, viewing the woman with whom he had to deal ; and again he blundered in trusting io his own nature. True, he could withdraw himself from Clara’s society, but it was not so easy to keep out of Kate’s way. The “ metal more attrac tive ” exerted a fatal influence over him. School himself how he would, he found himself irresitibly impelled to Kate’s side. He might have put an end to this conflict for ever by leaving Clevedown. He was a free agent, of course. But then what man in love is a free agent ? Thus he lingered on, and the days sped by, and Clara Wraxall, he could see, was brooding over his altered manner. She had tried various little arts to win him back ; she had even endeavored to excite his jealousy by flirting with the infatuated Edward, transporting that youth to the seventh heaven, from which she soon pre cipitated him by comparing him disad vantageously with Mr. Golding. From that moment the young lover hated Arthur with a devouring, jealous hatred. Not altogether in idle purpose had she struck this chord in her young lover’s breast. For the slight which she felt Arthur had offered her had grown with brooding over it into an insult, and Clara was one of those women whom it is not safe to insult. She had already con ceived the wish to do him a sudden and deadly injury, for she knew she was sup planted. Once or twice the temptation had occured to her to wreak some evil on Kate, but she rejected that thought as impracticable. “It would only turn his liking for her into love,” thought Clara, “ if he thought she had suffered for his sake. Besides, my quarrel is not with that poor doll, it is with him. I would rather he suffered if any one. ” And then, with a somewhat vague purpose, though it pointed to one end—namely, the design of dealing him a blow, though how or when she could not determine—she be thought herself of the plan to secure an instrument for herself and an enemy to Arthur in her young lover Edward. One morning the family were discussing over the breakfast table the particulars of a tragedy recorded in the newspapers. A woman of the lower order, stung by jealousy, had stabbed to the heart the mistress of her husband and had been put on her trial for murder. Mr. Burnet was laying down his opinion that the accused would escape with penal servitude, having received such strong provocation. “ She was a fool ” burst out Clara, her eyes lighting ; “ she should have killed her husband ; that would have been the fuller revenge. Did she think to hurt him by destroying his paramour ? Why, even though she had done it with im punity, what would have been the result? That he would have forgotten his loss in a month and taken another. It is the na ture of men to sin, and to wrong, and to forget. The coward—the mean dastard ! she should have stabbed him.”

“Hallo, Clara,” exclaimed Mr. Burnet, opening his eyes, “we shall have you coming out in the tragic line next—a Medea of the nineteenth century.”

She rose from the table, leaving Arthur decidedly uncomfortable, and walked dowT to the beach, her passionate spirit on fire. Walking fiercely onward, she came on the coast-guardsman. (to be continued.)

Medical. WHO is Mrs. WINSLOW? As this 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 as nurse and physician, she has com pounded a SOOTHING SYRUP for Chil dren. It operates like magic, giving rest and health, and is, moreover, sure to regulate the bowels. In consequence of this article, Mrs. Winslow is becoming world-renouned as a benefactor of her race. Children certainly do rise up and bless her. Especially is this the case in this city. Yast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are daily sold and used here. We think Mrs Winslow has immortalised her name by this invaluable article, and we sincerely believe that 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 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 mothors, try it now.— Ladies’ Visitor, New York City. VALUABLE DISCOVERY for the HAIR. A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE NEWER, now being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3s. 6d. per bottle, is fast super ceding all the old restorers and dyes for the purpose of changing grey or white hair to its natural original color, for it will positively restore the hair in every case 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 the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness 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 matter or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does not soil the hands, the scalp, or even white linen, but produces the color within the substance of the hair. Read the follow ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, Walkden : “One of my customers told me the other day he had had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using one bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewer I sold him, it was restored to and kept its natural color.” It may bo had of any respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer in toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s. 6d. per bottle.—Prepared by HENRY C. GALLUP, No. 493, Oxford street, London.

Medical. 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 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 the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for dysentry and diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or 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.

COCKLE’S ANITBILIOUS PILLS— These Pills consist of a careful and peculiar admixture of the best and mild est vegetable aperients, with the pure ex 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 or dangerously active ingredients; on the contrary, they are characterised by a remarkable simplicity of combination, and whatever merit they may be found to possess depends as much upon the selec tion of pure drugs, and the unusual labor and attention bestowed upon their 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 tonic 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.
