THE CHIMNEY CORNER.

JACK PLAYNE’S STORY.

( Concluded.)

And what a sick headache had she the next day ? Rash got his breakfast and came over after my sister Eliza to stay with his mother, and that’s how he told me all about the talk. She had a blind sick stupid headache all day. She got up when the sun went down, and she didn’t really feel like herself for a day or two. And I conceived her hair was never so black and glossy again as it had

been. . , . p faster,went over §M*sayed*with her ¥ Hay br'twb.■ But how Rash did work; never slighted the least thing—faithful, early and late. I tell you one don’t get such ’prentice work often ! And such work holds out for ever in more senses thah

one., f y s \ * ;■ y v v * . When Rash, was’eighteem and pretty near out of his time, Squire Porter came home. He’d been travelling in Europe several years, buying worlds of pictures, books, I 'and curious things generally, and the next thing was to fit up his house. I had a job, of course'; Igjff iiThis library he wanted extra work .f/dk!ov%s for his bobks, Gothic carving, and what not; and of course it needed an extra good hand. j “ I’ve just the hand for fancy carving like that,” says_l, J‘_and if you’ll trust him with it, he’ll go at it like training day.” | “Who is it?” says the squirb.. “ Mind I don’t want it blotched, and I ain’t afraid of my money.” “NoV/aoibit ’jof?dt,’’T.says’iir “ It’s

young Horatio Hennings, son of the Widow Hennings, who lives in the cottage by the big willow.” !/I lXJDear, dear;.’? i says ! /the squire, “ I know his folks, and it must have cost her a struggle to consent to have her boy learn a mechanic’s trade.” . So then I just sot down and told the squire the whole story, how the bojy wouldn’t be kept back, though he wasn?t.unmindful of his book,..and that he had|§fic|i.ia hankeringafter*the tools, that ne’cf stolen his chance, if he hadn’t been allowed; and what excellent work he turned off and all about it. And the squire listened and laughed, anfdjsays'hS': \ ' j ' / “.Send If m in. % don’tJknow .him, nor him me; but take care he don’t spoil it all.” i Just as I expected, the job was just to Rash’s _,mind,. ~ He , got .up ..them alebles iff-first irate Style,-‘‘arid threw in a lot of fancy carving. There was ati alcove for the “ English classics,” as the squire called ’em, and Rash built it out of the best oak,_ and .carved a wreath of oak leaves’ahd itcbfns bvef arched cornice. The one for Greek and Latin, he ornamented with laurel leaves, and the big one for the histories had k centre piece of armor and banners and shields and whaTndt But the one for American authors, he carved the finest thing you ever saw. Over the top was a bunch of water lilies, magnolias, and golden .rods, f and drooping; /down; the sides were ' vines of the “trailing arbutus,” he called it, but for all the

world our own Mayflower. Why, the library was just -* a ■’picture before anyj thing went into it 1 It’s years ago, ana folks haven’t done wondering at it yet I’d'npt: baye: done it.for; i;q,oqo dols/ When all was done, and the chips all

swept out, the squire invited a party to see his improvement. Not a large party, but some choice friends from Boston and New York, and some acquaintances he’d made in travelling; and an Englishman who had written books himself, who, was stopping with him. And the best of all waf, he invited Rash and his mother, too. He ■ did, now, really! . j ■ Rash, he went to Boston, and bought her a new black silk, a good one, and a dress cap (widow’s cap, they called it)J and a new suit of clothes for himself {He’d had good‘wages for overwork a good while). It was a wonderful bright moonlight night, and as I sat by my door, smok J ing, I saw them pass. Mrs Hennings had on her new black, silk, opened from the neck to the waist in front, and some fine, old, yellow lace in the neck, fes tooned with her little black pin, and her earrings on, and her widow’s cap and her net shawl, and her new laycock kid gloves in her hands. Shapely handsftoOj-ifrshe did work; gnd in one of ’-em a fine, old Japanese fan; which her grandfather had brought home in some of his voyages. And Rash ! He’d. grown to be a tall lad —almost a young man, and really out of his time, now, with rosy cheeks and black curly hair, and just a shade on his upper lip. And his clothes fitted him as well as if they were wet and clung to him. I - tell you, as he stepped along with his mother, Rash looked “ good enough to eat.” So Eliza said.

The Squire invited him to the house, and took ’em all into the wonderful library, to have coffee, or ices or some thing. Whatever it was, it was a mere excuse to get them there. Then he began to show his alcoves, and explain them ; and when they’.d- seen all the taste and judgment he’d shown in picking out his flowers and leaves and vines to match the kind of books, and every body had admired ft—the English author in particular, was specially struck—the Squire brought in Rash, and introduced him and his mother to; everybody. And he got one order fromi a New Yorkman on the spot; and the Englishman said to him, that “ one who could house books soToyally, must do it for the love of them, as well as for the love of his work.” And he said something Kapt/didin’t tell (hut Tiisj inbther did) i ’most forgot, about its; being a wonderful country, where even; its artisans had the manners of gentlemen. At least it was either artist; or artisans. I don’t know which. 1 As Rash handed his mother a cup of tea, he said in a low voice, “ Now,| isit-itf better to be a first-class carpenter than such a poor professor as I should have made ? ” I

“ I don’t think you’d have failed at anything,” she answered. I But the Squire heard her, and laughed. , “ I don’t know about that, says he y “ many a good mechanic is spoiled toj make a poor professional man._ It’s: far better to be sure the work is our own work, and it’s the best of its kind, than to be notional about kind of work ; and, bye-the-by, Horatio, here s a bit of spending money for you, and-

I’ll come round to-morrow and get a receipt in full.”

So ended this royal evening. Next day the Squire called round and pro posed that Rash should go to New York and study with an artist friend of his, who was also an architect, for a year. Didn’t he jump at this chance ! As for the envelope, it had a cheque for i,ooodols. ; the work was done dog cheap at that; I’d not done it for twice that, if I could have done it at all. So now, Rash’s fortune was made. He made lots of money with his designs and carvings, and now he’s married to the Squire’s daughter, and lives in Fifth avenue ? Not a bit of it. He came back and married Utile Bessie Playne, my pet, and has a pretty place at Yonkers, and the widow lives there too.

I guess they get on pretty well. Both women think that Rash is perfection, which is the main thing. Sometimes I go up there for a day, but the widow, she has so much to say about the governor and senator, and blood and gentility, that I’m mostly glad to get home and stretch my legs by the fire place, and smoke my clay pipe. She has a great deal to say about the genius in blood ; though I don’t doubt genius helped Rash, and I guess it was as much grit as genius; However, I don’t know much about it

Ponsonby road, Hope Town, Auckland, June 16, 1880. I have been under Dr. Grant’s care,since May 26, for great deaf ness, for more than twelve years, and am about seventy (70)'years of age.

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 the 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 him a trial. He had only been under Dr. Grant s treat ment ten or eleven days when he fourid that he could see large objects at some dis tance. ME Michau states that' he had been under the treatment of some of the best medical men at home, but had not received the least benefit. We are at all times chary of accepting details, of “ Wonderful cures,” but the young man. who called at our office appearei to be telling the truth, and was:, exceedingly grateful tb Dr. Gant for- the relief Which he has already experienced.— New Zea-. land Times , Dec. 25, 1879. Dr. Grant is also SPECIALIST in the DISEASES of WOMEN and CHIL DREN. Dr. Grant has recently effected a very remarkable cure in the case of Mrs. D. Evans, of Kuraara,. who, has been .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 thirty years—her affliction having been caused by a fever, from which she suffered: severely. Since that time she has been almost totally deaf, : for she could only hear the the loudest sburids. ; Since she has been under Dr. Grant’s treatment her hearing has gradually improved, so that' now she can hear plainly conversation' in an ordinary tone of voice. She will re turn in a few days to Kumara perfectly well, and in 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 'Public 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. Grant has 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 I 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. —HvhitiJca 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 j and Mrs; Wayeht, operation for artificial pupil. Nelson, May 11, 1880. “I, Thoa. Adams, have been under Dr. Grant’s treatment for deafness of the left ,earj, 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.— ThGs. Adams. ” 428 Advice to mothers.—Ate 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 poof 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 inen. 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 eething 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. Sold by all medicine dealers, at Is. IW.—Depot, 493, Oxford street. TIITHO 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. 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. , ALU ABLE DISCOVERY forlhe 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, Cd. per bottle, is fast super ceding all the old restorer's 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 thei 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 j,. 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, .Cliemist,; 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 l| sold him, it was restored to and kept its; natural color., It may be had of any respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer: in toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s, fid,; per bottle. —Prepared by HENRY C.

Medical- COCKLE’S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS— These Pills consist of a careful and peculiar admixture of tlie_ 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 tire 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, arid attention bestowed upon their subse quent preparation, as upon the acknow ledged peculiarity of their coriipdsition, 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 riot, perhaps, be an,exaggeration to state that they have been resorted to urider all systems 'of' diet, changes of cli mate, or atmospheric alternations with, ari extraordinary degree of success. for upwards of seventy-eight years.
