THE CHIMNEY CORNER.

A LOVE STORY. ( Continued.) ‘ls anybody ever drowned here abouts?” she asked the coast-guardsman abruptly. “No,” returned that obstinate function ary ; immediately adding, “three years ago a man tumbled off Cleve Cliff, and never came up again.” She looked toward the cliff. “ Well, then he was drowned, wasn’t he?” “Some say he was dashed on the rocks,” answered the coast-guardsman grudgingly. “ Was anybody with him when he fell?” “ His sweetheart.” “ Perhaps she pushed him over.” “ Good heavens ! ” ejaculated the coast guardsman : “ what should she push him over for ? ” Clara Wraxall made no reply, but walked to the summit ‘of Cleve Cliff. The placid ocean, beautiful in the morning sunlight, was laving the foot of the rock beneath her as she bent over the hazardous railing. “An easy plunge and a swift death here,” she thought, “ if the worst came ■: to the worst. Depend upon it that girl pushed her lover down. Perhaps he deserved it.” She stayed there an hour ruminating. “ I don’t know,” she reflected, “ that 1 could ever kill a man with my own hand, however much I might hate him ; but I know I could see him killed without putting forth a finger to save him. ” So ■ saying, she descended the cliff and re turned to the house, where, with the irresolution which was her one claim to womanhoodj-she set about a last effort to win back the straying affections of Arthur Golding. But all her arts were to no purpose. Arthur remained cold and distant, and her womanly instinct detected a rival. One day Golding had determined, for the seventieth time, to leave Clevedown on the morrow, and announced his resolution to his host. “What, leave us now at best part of the autumn ? ” exclaimed Mr. Burnet; “oh, nonsense! It’s too late to shoot, and for idling purposes there’s no place like the south. Besides, we’ve our picnic to-morrow on Cleve Cliff. You must stay for the picnic. ” And Arthur yielded and stayed. Oh, those picnics—disastrous ever to the peace of incipient lovers ! Blessed beyond the name (unfortunately unrecorded) of the man who invented sleep—blessed by young hearts is the man who invented picnics. If Arthur had been as learned in psychology as he was in law, he would 'have shunned the new danger. But he was ignorant, or perhaps courted danger —at all events, he went. The inevitable fate befell him. A row to Cleve; a shifty banquet on the grass ; a stroll over the headlands looking on the sea; a ramble down the rocks to blue water; and he found himself with Kate. They were alone and the tide was coming in. (I have remarked that tender hearts are always softer when the tide is coming in ; doubtless because the moon regulates both alike—love and water.) The day was declining ; an autumn evening, calm and cool, growing apace. Arthur Gold ing could stand it no longer. “ Miss Burnet,” he began ; “ Miss Bur net—Kate—may I call you Kate 2 ” You know what followed. When a gentleman begins by addressing a young lady by her surname, and immediately substitutes the Christian name, it usually leads to one result. Arthur Golding obeyed the immutable law; and before the sea had advanced another foot it was over ; his love was told and a sweet ad mission obtained in return. The tide was at its flood. He walked up Cleve Cliff, a cooler man. Kate Burnet had rejoined her fossil mamma. Kate loved him and confessed it. So far that was satisfactory. But how about Miss Wraxall 2 He lit a cigar, and pondered over that problem, looking down over the rickety rail on the cliff head into the sea, on which the shades of night were thickly falling. He thought over it until the difficulty of the situa tion had melted into clouds as thin and unsubstantial ai the wreaths of smoke curling from his cigar. Turning to join the picnic party now wending homeward, he encountered the subject of his medita tion. “ Miss Wraxall! ’* The was pale, and unnaturally calm ; he could see that, dark as it was getting. She advanced full upon him. “Sir,’. she said. “They are going home. You are too late to overtake them. You are too late to overtake her. Sit down.” “ Pardon me—l ” “ Sit, I say. I have something to speak to you about.” He bowed, and sat down on the rustic seat on the cliff. He could do little else, in common politeness. She took a seat beside him, placed her hands on his knees, and looked into his face. “Arthur” —her voice was troubled: “why have you changed towards me 2” He did not reply ; the truth being that - he was for the moment nonplussed. “ Arthur Golding,” she resumed, after an awkward pause, ‘ ‘ for the last month you have led me to believe you loved me. You told me so. Silence, sir ! If ever looks—lying looks —spoke love, yours did. Did they not 1” He had recovered himself somewhat by this time. “If they did,” he answered coldly, “ I am unfortunate. Ido not love you, and have never loved you.” She started up, her hot blood on fire, and her passion over-mastering her. “ You love that chit—that doll—that baby-face ; .you have thrown away me for her; you have trampled on a woman’s hears for a thing of plaster, with the soul of a puling child ! Is it not so 1” Her fierce invective almost bore him down. He rose, and stepped back to wards the railing on the edge of the cliff, she fiercely following. “ Speak, you smooth-tongued villain !” hissed Clara Wraxall ; “am I not right ? Do you not love Miss Weazen-face 2” “ You can say nothing of Miss Burnet,” answered Arthur, ‘ ‘ that does not raise her in my estimation and make me loathe you more.” She threw up her clenched fists in the whirlwind of her passion. “If I were a man, I would throw yon into the sea for those words. I would strike you dead before me if I could. Hah !” she cried, looking over his shoulder, down the path which led to the land side of the cliff; and to his intense surprise she flung her self into his arms, clasping him close, swaying backward and forward, and emitting shriek upon shriek of piercing - hrillness. ‘ ‘ Good heavens, Clara, what can you * mean 2” exclaimed Arthur Golding. Are a you mad 2—Clara !” j Still she clung to him, screaming, and affecting to battle with him. A dim figure ascended the cliff by the pathway—came nearer, and revealed Edward Burnet in the shadows of the growing night. f Clara Wraxall burst away from Arthur, j and flew to the new-comer. “ Oh, Mr. Burnet,” she cried ; “ you —you will at least protect me ! That man has in sulted me—has offered me violence.” “Mr. Golding!” exclaimed the aston- . ished Edward, recognising him. g “ Thank heaven you came,” she sobbed. “He I cannot say how grossly he endeavoured to wrong me.” Arthur Golding, standing against the railing, had, up to this, had no opportu- h nity to interpose a word. With an infa-

tuate cry of fury the young'Wn rushed at him and aimed a blow at his head with a hick stick which had aided his ascent. “Scoundrel!” cried Edward, deliver ing the blow. Interposing his arm, Arthur Golding received the blow—a severe one—while with the other he stopped the young man's mad rush. There was a momentary scuffle, a push from Golding, and Edward Burnet was hurled against the railing, which crashed beneath his weight, and he disappeared over the edge of the cliff. “Merciful heaven!” cried Arthur Golding, horror-stricken. “What have I done 2 ” “ You have killed him,” screamed Clara Wraxall. “He is dead. You have mur dered the brother of your beloved.” And like one possessed she fled scream ing down the path, and was lost in the darkness. Stunned with the weight of his invol untary crime, Golding crept as near as he could to the edge of the precipice, and looked over. To descend in the direction in which the unhappy youth had fallen was impossible ; the cliff was as precipi tous as che wall of a house, and at its base the retreating sea cast on the rocks a white border of foam. The night, too, had deepened too with the swiftness peculiar to that time of year. He could see no trace of the young man. With a heavy heart he made his way quickly down the path on the land side, intending to get a boat and some assistance, and endeavor to find Edward Burnet alive or dead— the alternative he had only too good reason to fear. At the foot of Cleve Cliff he met a party of the alarmed villagers, among them Clara Wraxall raving. Then Mr. Burnet and several gentlemen from the picnic party hurried to the spot. And then and there Clara passionately denounced him as Edward’s murderer. The violence of her rage, the falshood of her charge—false in its minuteness, a terrible lie in every circumstantiality— overwhelmed him. She had witnessed their quarrel; it was Golding who pro voked it, she said. His jealousy of the young man had prompted the attack, and he had ruthlessly seized the less powerful stripling, and flung him over the cliff, breaking the railing in the act. He could not repel the terrible accusation which left every cheek pale, and a horror in every eye. Directing two men to guard him, Mr. Burnet procured a couple of boats, and beaded a search at once hopeless and unavailing. In an hour’s time they sor rowfully returned to land. Not even the dead body could be rescued from the cruel waves that washed the base of Cleve Cliff. All that night Arthur Golding remained in guarded seclusion in the house of his former entertainer. Next day a magis trate’s warrant was procured, and he was committed to prison on the charge of attempt to murder. An examination before the magistrates dieted no new facta beyond the repeated statement of Miss Wraxall as to the circumstances attending the attack. Questioned as to the precise cause of the quarrel between the two young men, she admitted, with some reluctance, that their quarrel had been about herself. She had unconsciously (and oh, how bitterly she reproached her self now) afforded them a pretext for a violence which in one had led to death, and in the other to a crime which—judg ing from ominous expressions which he had confided to her, and which at the time she had set down to the jealous ravings of a lover—she feared was pre meditated. Arthur was then formally committed for trial. A damaging part of the evidence against him, was the fact that he had had a slight tiff with the deceased on that fatal afternoon, and during the picnic ex cursion. It had amounted merely to a few hasty words provoked by Edward himself, in whose mind a jealous hatred of Arthur had been artfully sown by Miss Wraxall. Still it was enough to prejudice the case against him. For Miss Wraxall a great deal of public com miseration was created, by her unfortu nate connection with the crime, by her having been a witness of the murder, and by the manifest suffering which she expe rienced in giving her evidence. On Gold ing, public opinion was heavy and strong. Of all interested in the tragedy on Cleve Cliff, there were but two hearts that steadily refused to believe in his guilt— one, the unhappy girl whose lot it was to mourn a brother slain by a lover’s hand ; the other, sturdy Frederick Burnet, who had been summoned by telegraph, and who undertook with all his legal energies to conduct his friend’s defence.

The Samson Wire By using the Patent Oval Fence Wire you get a better and cheaper fence than any other, and the best proofs are the imitations already referred to. A comprehensive circular as to its advantages, with numerous testimonials from well-known colonists, will be posted to any address on application. The state Forests of Victoria are fenced with the Patent Oval Samson Fence Wire; the one at Dookie is, without doubt, the best Wire Fence in Australia, and people come from great distances to see it.

Tet, in the face of these patents, firms—many of respecaltry standing—have, for the sake of a paltry commission, lent themselves to the intro miction of various spurious imitations, which, render them liable to actions at law, and annoyance and disappointment to the users. We would point out to intending pur chasers that any person erecting Oval Wire Fences, other than the Patent Oval Sam son, renders himself liable for damages. The Patent Acts on this point are very explicit ; therefore, after this notice no excuse can be made. Wehare had instances brought under our notice where somepersonshave been so un principled as to mix the Spurious Oval Wire amongst the Patent Oval Samson in order to make a sale, and damage the the reputation of the genuine article.

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. Vast 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 mothers, try it now.— Ladies’ Visitor, New York City. STEEDMAN’S SOOTHING POWDERS FOR CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTICN TO PURCHASERS.
