About this time there was a small private evening party given by a young lady who had not long returned from some school in England, aud a. waa 'Jie custom of the sociable little island, the new arrival was to be inspected and commented upon, and all her numerous English treasures and latest Parisian fashions in gowus, hats, slippers &c, duly passed in review and warmly ad mired. Our young lady friends at the man sion were invited to join the merry throng and accordingly old Scipio the black coach man, (or, as he was called by all the young folk, both white and black, Daddy Scipio, from his white woolly head) drove "Our young ladies," as he always called them, to the entertainment audit was a late hour when they returned. Late as it was, how ever, Daddy was too careful a groom to put his horses to bed until they had been thoroughly cooled and carefully dressed. This duly completed, it was pa.t midnight before Daddy sought his cabin, which w situated beyond the bamboo grove. To reach his door by the nearest path lie was about to cross the garden, when he fancied that he heard smothered voices holding ap parently earnest consultation, issuing from the little oilicc of his master. This was a room attached to the main building but jutting out from it, and as it was on the ground iloor, it was easy of access from the garden, and anyone approaching iv that direction was screened by a lofty pomegra nate hedge from the windows on this side of the mansion. It was quite possible there fore for any one nfter sunset to obtain ad mittance to the room without detection, and report says if the pictures Jon the walls could speak they would disclose some things that would startle you. But to return to Daddy—The most natural thought to him was, that some daring housebreakers had contiived to effect an entrance, and were secretly consulting as to their next step. Grasping his stick, or short cudgel, without which no negro ever leaves his cabin after dark, he approached courageously, for Daddy was a powerful man, aud cautiously peered into the room, through the shutter which happened to be slightly ajar. _ What ever it was.that poor Daddy caught sight of, or had the misfortune to overhear, it was evideutly sullicicnt to strike terror iv his stout heart to a Woeful extent, for he never recovered the shock that the sight gave him. With a suppressed groan and muttering somethiug about his "Mnssa. poor Massa"-he fell to the ground in a swoon. Whether a strange optical illusion, or an approaching fit of some kind, had temporarily overclouded his intellects, for he was no fool, no one can say —but he was found ou this spot, under the window as wc have defcribeil, some hours after, and removed to'his cabin; aud a3soon as he had collected his scattered senses he requested the old Rector to he sent for. This was at an cal'ly hour in the morning. The old clergyman was speedily at his bed side and remained closeted with him for some time.duritig which lengthened period, those outside tho small enbin.coulil overhear poorDadvy persisting most vehemently in asserting some statement which the Rector apparently doubted with as great obstinancy. At length the Rector having succeeded in calming poor Daddy's bewildered mind, came out from the cabin with a very troubled look and bent his steps in the direc tion of the mansion. Crossing the wide terrace lie entered the house without announcing himself, as he had been in the habit of doing for years, having always found a hearty welcome awaiting him from the family. But this morning, to his surprise, when he sent up stair.-*, by the first attendant he met in the corridor, a^equ.st for au interview with the old man, he was denied, and the denial was not iv auy way softened by a plausible or courteous excuse.

Puzzled and annoyed at this unaccount able abruptness, and troubled, more than be cared to acknowledge, by poor Daddy's communication, he returned to his own house in no very suitable frame of mind, and it was by no means improved when the next morning the intelligence was brought to him that Daddy had died during tho night and that his last words were a a message to himself begging "that he would uot lose sight of bis old ' Massa ' or leave him to himself." The Rector still holding to bis opinion that Daddy had suffered from some mental derangement resolved to consult the doctor as to the cause —and the message he now received, reveal ing to him that Daddy to the last moment persistently adhered to his statement,(what ever that was, for the Rector's lips were sealed on the subject), hastened his visit to the old doctor. Arriving at the house of his medical friend, he made enquiries into the cause of the death of the old groom, und the account he received, by no means confirmed his own opiuiou of the temporary mental weakness of the departed negro. The doctor on visiting the cabin had found his patient sinking from nervous exhaus tion, and there was every sign of his having received a suddcu aud severe shock. The Rector was convinced, after this, that some diabolical sight had actually been witnessed but that it had been distorted by the terror that struck the unfortunate spectator to the ground. And as the months that followed this singular occurrence glided slowly along, there appeared to be some presentiment of evil, an imperceptible gloom gradually gathering around the house and itaoccu piuts, whichchilled all those who approached them, until after a year or tsvo of poor Daddy's strange death almost every one of the many friends who formerly had delighted to visit the Mansion, gradually dropped off. And neither did the inmates themselves appear desirous of society, but more and more coufined themselves to the numerous resources of their home. A blight had obtaiued a footing and imperceptibly was drawing the sap from the once beautiful tree.

At this time the wife of tho old man died from general ill-health—so her physician said—others, however, who knew her well, thought it was from a broken heart. After her death the old man appeared to redouble his exertions to amass useless wealth—use less, in so far as he already possessed half a million. He now took tobad ways, cheating and robbiog heartlessly .every widow and orphan aud simple creature that fortune threw in his way—aud certainly fortune threw a good many in his way— although many said it was some oue wor.e than Dame Fortune. Othois said that he slept ova bed of curses and imprecations, and that a certain person with an ugly name would eventually fly away with him, that he was only waiting for him to complete his measure of wickedness by robbing a corpse aud a Church.

About thia time to the surprise of tho worthy parishoners the Rector who never by any chance indulged in a holiday, put a young clerjjymau in his place and went to tlic extremity of the island ostensibly for change of air—air there was in abundance certainly aud straight from the sea, but for an invalid it was a strange place to take a temporary residence. It Whs uhowling bleak rocky promontory very dengerous for ships which had to pass that way to get to the towu. No hciuaeH, except one or two shan ties, nor inhabitants were to be found there, aud sttangc to say not even a lighthouse had beeu built, where otic would have supposed that the dangers of the place would have made one necessary. This spot belonged to the old man aud ho frequcutly visited it, re maining there for weeks together. After the Hector had spent a few weeks at this dreary locality he returned to his home, but with a dissappoiuted air about him, as if he had not benefited by the change, and the old people said that his sermons were falling off in quality although they had certainly not decreased iv quautity. Altogether the old Rector was upset, aud no one could say what was the matter with him.

While we have beeu following the down ward course of the old mau at the mansion, the unfortunate young men his sons have uot been slow in filling up the measure of their wickedness. Those gifts and graces which had been bestowed on tliem with unsparing hand, they had turned to most horrible pur poses, and they had now become the blackest curse to the whole surrounding country; and yet, the charm at times of their grace ful forms and manners, made it diffi cult to those, who had dandled them on their kuecs as boys, to abandon them altogether. Unfortunately for themselves and the weak ones around them, vice did not iv their hands assume that low and repulsive form that ordinary coarse profligates stamp on it. It was shorn of its darkness,aud presentedto the unhappy victim in a form of light. Pity that the wicked should ever be endowed with rare mental powers.

There happened, aboutfthis time, to arrive at the island a most respectable widow lady who was, it was afterwards discovered, well connected in England. She was possessed of some little means, and accompanying her was an only cbild, a daughter about eighteen named Mina. Itwastheiutention of tho old lady lo spend some little time iv the island for the benefit of Mina's health, and having uo intention of remaining in that part of the world louger than they could help, they did not trouble to form any acquaintance; but taking a small and com fi.r.able cottage opposite tho gates of the mansion, secured for them by some mer chant friend to whom .they had previously written, the mother and daughter quietly passed iv some simple way their time, a morning walk in their neighbourhood and

an afternoon drive along the coast; while a piano temporarily hired afforded thetn additional indoor amusement. Mma'g health improved daily under the gonial inllu. ence of the climate and as her strength and general spirit*, were renewed she accepted IU many little and friendly attentions chara.. teristic of the kindly islanders. An ric" quaintance had now sprung up between Mina, and the young ladies at the mansion ' I which gradually ripened into intimacy, and at length, in consequence ot the repeated solicitations of her young friends, she was allowed to spend several days together visiting different parts of the island with' them. Tho old man, impelled by his ruling pas sion, had soon made himself acquainted a. far as it was possible, with the state of the old lady's exchequer, and finding that it would bear a moderate plucking, set about to try his skill in relieving her of some of the by no means heavy burden. It will c sullicicnt to say here, however, that he did not succeed in his cruel intentions, for his intended victim happened, fortunately, to possess that- rare sense of knowing when to let well alone. While the old man, how ever, was fruitlessly prosecuting his schemes" his younger son, Rupert, with great success' was laying a train for a plot which never could have entered human brain unless in. stigatcd by the Prince of darkness himself" In the town, not far from the mansion, and in an alley of no good fame, lived a man, or what once, we [must suppose, was a man wcll-kuown at some distant time as a rising barrister of marvellous ingenuity; he had fallen, but from what causes need not bo mentioned here, as it does not concern our story in any way, Rupert paid frequent visits to this demon in human form just, ag Mina's intimacy with the sisters was at its hcifcht. These visits of Rupert's to {he alley must have been of wonderful import ance, to judge by the many golden coins that exchanged hands. At length a third and a fourth party was admitted to these consultations, and then the band—or gang, perhaps, would be a more suitable word— :J separated for a time. Rupert now cultivated with irresistible assiduity, poor Mina's acquaintance, and at the first favourable opportunity asked het hand iv marriage. She replied in the affir mative. What girl, knowing the fag. cinating youth, could have done o'hcrwis'e; Having now gained her consent, he asked as a temporary arrangement that the engage, ■nentshould be kept from their parent.'know. ledge, and remain strictly a private one, until he could propitiate his father or, i n some way, overcome the difficulties that i his peculiarities would prompt him to raise 7 against the marriage. This plausible pr e . j text for not at once communicating with her mother on the subject, appeared to the unsuspecting K'rl a'harmless aud reasonable one. Alas, what will not an innocent and frail girl dare and attempt for the one to whom she has just pledged hcrsctf ? Un fortunately, Mina had been, with the exception of a very short period of her life, -ilways separated from her mother, whohkd lived principally abroad, leaving her daughter at school under proper guardian ship. It could not well be expected that ! the two, however attached to each other, i; would have the fame feelings as attend and grow out of a long life of close cornpauujn. ship. When therefore the strange proposal ; if a private engagement was made to her, after a natural hesitation, she had no diffi culty in permitting it so long as it eatisfud *.. temporary necessity, promising herself the great pleasure and amusement of taking the old lady by surprise, aud suddenly announcing the happy event to her. She did both, poor girl, but not in the happy i manner she had proposed to herself. Some I months later on, Rupert met her with I another proposal, which was, that a clan- i destine marriage should take place between I them at an early date, but thia Mina 1 objected to, aud he failed _to ovj.r- 1 come her dislike to the proposition, and so I -natters rested for a time. On her next | visit to the Mansion, however, the . two I sisters, who had considerable influence i with her, opened the subject again on behalf of their brother. 7S Tow, while strol- 9 ling through rich gardens and pleasure ; grounds, sitting at the fountain side chatting : little nothings, singing choice favourites ; .mid every charm aud luxury of a bewitch ing boudoir with two young friends_ that, have set their hearts on accomplishing'a' . certain object, and when those friends | have the rare gifts and . graces^ that awaken within you a strong yearning to' be one in thought and wish with them, ; can you harshly blame any poor girl, especially one not long from some secluded school, when under such enchanting influences she I yields to a pleasing yet false sentiment and I irretrievably ruins herself? No! It is the M old story of evil tracking the path of the unwary and guileless. To do the two sis ters, however, the justice due to then_,.we I must say that vile as they were becomi_-j, 1 .and as they cvcutually did become, yet at . this period, and for some time afterwards, they were in profound ignorance of the real intention of their brother. He and his clever assistants were more than a match ■ for most men—letting alone two unthinking , women. In an evil hour, and influenced .by i her friends, Miua consented to the clandes- fl tine ceremony, with, however, the anxious 9 stipulation that no unnecessary time should I be allowed to elapse before her mother 7 became acquainted with the change that 1 had taken place in her young life. Asstir- I ing her that such was to be the case, Rupert I vow put in force all the devilment that he 1 had called to his aid, to enable him to ac- 1 complish his deed of darkness. Leaving to his sisters'the most]diflicult task of detaining Mina at the mausion, under the plea of a pretended approaching visit to some s.eae at, a distant part of the island, and Io account tor her absence to the old lady—her mother —he lost no time in communicating; with those whom he had long ago instructed in the various parts which he-had allotted theni. His iustructions had been imparted with the stimulant of heavy bribes, and | were not likely to fail in the hands of men who weie not affected with troublesome consciences. An unprincipled beadle,, or church officer as he was called, at the | appointed notice being given, stole from 1 the vestry-room of the cathedral a surplioe, | hood, and stole, and forwarded them 9 with all speed to the mansion, where | they were duly received and placed | iv readiness for tho expected priest. 1 This mock clergyman was no other tijan a profligate young man in some office, in 1 town, and the chosen companion of many a 7 debauchee A suit of black from iioine sfop- - shop hurriedly purchased or hired and. a a little extra soap and water on his face aud hands, was all the credentials or authority that this drunken reprobate possessed lor actiug the part of a clergyman, in a scene that is generally considered the most touch- / ing in the life of a young girl. Arraying *! himself iv the surplice and other _ official garments, he proceeded to the room in com pany with Rupert, and the two waited impatiently for the commencement of the mock ceremony. Hastily dressed as a bride, poor Mina was '. led in by two young friends, and the base ceremony was about to proceed, when one I of the sisters laughingly enquired for.the , license, as no banns had been published. As I said before, these two girls, although' they afterwards did fall into _ vice 1 under tho influence of the curse resting oa the family since Daddy's death, yet, at thia i time they had no idea of the villaiuy they were unconsciously aiding and abetting. Rupert was, however, too expert a villain to have forgotten so important a part of the programme, and pulling a long document from his breast-pocket, he haudedit to the pretended clergyman, who feigned to | scrutinize the instrument with more thn_ usual carefulness, scarce able to conceal a ' smile at the apparently blundering manner in which the forgery had been perpetr-ted, | for the document appeared to be a forged j one and by no means skilfully executed, So thought this young man, and he con jectured also, that if Stina or either of tho sisters, had asked for an inspection of the paper that the sham nature of the ceremony they were engaged in must have been.dis- | covered and eil'ectr ally frustrated. But he was , mistaken: never very bright, the little wit he possessed was so obscured by drink ,thot_ he did not notice the very subtle manner in which the document was prepared ; it was no forgery that any law 1 could reacfl» and, at the same time, it was sufficient to satisfy the scruples of any one who was in competent to judge of the validity of -UCU papers. Mina, on entering the room bad naturally expected to see the old Rector in the place occupied by this unprincipled substitute; and slip scanned the figure before her with a puzzled expression ,of countenauce ; probably, it was merely ■ a passiii" feeling of disappointment at the ; Rector s absence, which her face betrayed. The sight of the old fashioned surplice and other accessories, however, seemed to restore her to confidence, and tho sham ceremony proceeded to its hateful end. The mock priest, however, declared spine years after that, had he not been half-tipsy ; at the time, bad as ho was, he could not have proceeded with the devilish ceremony, for Mina's innocent countenance, so per fectly unconscious of the awful gulf into which sho was falling, all bat upset-him. It would have beeu better for himself poor wretch, if he had listened to the voice-ot the little goodness there was left in him.

Wm. Oppennan, Keg„ a wealthy island trader was for some months lyini. 11l at Happomannua an island of tho Kingsn.Ul Groin-, in the Pacific Ho had been soized with rh-umat'o fovor, which was followed by complicated dlsordora of a tor rlb'y sovcro nature, assuming tho form of a sp-cief of palsy nevor before known. The suf ferer's l'mbs swelled, tho legs lost all sensibility to pain; tho foot could bo wronohod round or tho skin nlerco-l with a lanco without Inflicting tho slightest suffering. The sick man was evi dently uncor scions ot his having legs, and his brain was sorlonsly afTe-Hcd as if with lunacy. In this deplorable state ho was kindly brough from the is'andß to Auckland by Mr H. Hender- Bon in tho schooner Coionet. Captain Mo.llcr and, bo'njj a Gorman, ho was received by the German Consul, «. Yon di-r Hoyde, Esq., and placed in tho District Hospital, where he re coived treatment for throe weeks with no Indica tion of improvement, hi. caso being pronounced by ono and all a most hopeless oni<. Tho captain of tho Coronet, knowing that extraordinary cures had been effected by tho übo of Hitchenß' Celebrated Blood Rostoror roquoeted tho proprietor of the Blood Restorer to take the caso in hand, and a contract was entered into of " No euro, no pay." Mr Hitchenß proceeded to the Hospital, examined tho Invalid and found him In an apparently dying state with scarcoly a Rpark of lifo left. Mr Hitchens ordered the suffering man to bo removed to his (Mr H.'b) privato ro*ldonce. where his wants could personally be attondod to b- Mr Hitchens Tho latter admlnlstorod tho mcdirlno(the Blood Restorer) and used tho ointment freely. Mean while clergymen called, pronouncing the case beyond tho power of man to effect a euro. How ever, after six weeks tho effect ot tho nicdlclno became wonderfully apparent. Tho Blood ltcstoror had acted steadily but snroly on tho blood ; tho deadly impurities were gradually eliminated from tho syßtom until the stream of lifo flowed unchecked in Its natural channels os-or tho entiro man. Tho brain be came oloar and active, and tho limbs once again roioicod ln natural circulation, tho pationt rising to his feet cured of disoasos which had battled tho skill of leading physicians, a living proof of tho wonderful hoaltng powers of Hitchens Celobrated Blood Rostoror.

This young liuly luiH boon under tin treatment of these e'ever oculists for tin cc days, ant wonderful to say, her eyesight has been pcrf. tly restored. The falhor t f li.o'glrl assured us Unit bo had placed her undor the e.iro of Severn' moilicil iiion v. ho hud fail, d to do her any g .oil, despite the money no had lavished upnn lr; The next whs a ca-c of Mi s Hughes, a Dune-Hn resident, who stated that ibo hud been deaf lo • a period ef over thrco years. Strange to s-.y, she him only boon undor treatment for oifrht days, and her hearing has been fully reslored. Thir fortunate girl is nearly In nost'acles over her good fortui.e. Tho no.t subjoc nnd-i- trot, mem was a labourer, named Patrlo. Fnnci-. working at Logan's Point, who Informed us that latterly he Wns ' Mi-nel- in ihe rig't oyowith a Hon", by which lie lost his eight and of lato Ids left eye has been materially affected by the blind ono; but, llianki to the "kill of I rofessir Wallcnburg, he hns now re cov-rod th I B'ght of his two cyo j, and is able to discern tho smallest print. Itarnmn Scliu tss, of Hyde, was tho laat patient int.rodi.c_d. He stated that ho had been totally deaf ft r year», and thutho had ben onh under treatment for a fnwdaya, and now he could hosr plainly. These gentleiiicn havo numerous olhcr caacs undor treatment. Tho cases that wo havo in. tanccd should bo sufll'lent to remove" any doubt from the most sceptical. All the patients that are now under treatment have b«on tampered with by the medical profession with no satisfactory Teault, und this, in tho major portion of case's, 'CauBOB iiiore aggravation, and me.lcoa eflectual cure more dlfllcult. The above cases clearly ihu.trato that Dr. Grant and Professor Wnl lenburg aro, without doubt, what they profess te be—Oculists. Aurisls, and Specialists. We weiild sir.,ugly recommend those who arc either atllictcd with blindness or deafness to consult llie-e gentlemen at once, as their staj here ia imltid.-Evening Tiib.no, Dunedin, September *_lth, 1879. Wo can conscientiously recommend thee suffering from ooafnesa or other ailments thut Dr. Gra t has made a special Btudy of, to pay him a visit, -when, if curable patients, they ma) certainly cxpoct relief. An instance came under our not.co on Thursday, in tho caso ot a man named Charles Swauson, who has been very do xl for three years, but, after ten days' _re-.tm.out, can now hoar perfectly even tho lowest whisper. I ho cure is a rather rcmarkab'o one, as ho has been tin .or tho cure of many medical mon, but has recoived no benefit whatover from their treatment. "Now Zealandor," December 27th 1870. Mr Ernest D'Egrlllo Michau callol at our office jcue'duy. and stated that ho had been blind with his right eye all his lifetime. Hear ing about Dr. Grant and Professor Wallcnburg, ih" oculists, who are now on a visit to this city, he determined to give them a trial. Ho had only been under Dr. Grant's troatnitnt ten or e'oven days when he found that ho could see larga object- nt some distancs. Mr Michnu slated that ho had been under the treatment of some of the best medical men at homo, tut had not re coivcd ihe e lightest benefit; We aro at all times cha.'y of accepting details of " Wondetfu cures," but tho >oimg man who ca'.led at onr ofllee aiip -ared to be tolling the truth, and was exceedingly grateful to Dr. Grant for the rolief ho has already experienced.—"Now Zealand Times " 25th December 1879.
