All was dark below, and so silent tl_t;.'. could hear the clock ticking in the kitchen and a cricket shrilling on the hearth, _ c came softly down outside the studio door Then he slowly turned the handle, ft yielded noiselessly. To his surprise he found the room full of light, and Lancelot still up. He had brought out his unfinished paint, ing, and placed it on a chair close under the lamp. His back was towards the door. His attitude indicated profound absorption— arms folded; head bent, eyes and thoughts intent upon the canvas. For a moment, Cochrane hesitated to dis turb [him ; and in that moment—se capri. cious are the ways of memory—he suddenly remembered all about that vaguely-recol. lected head which he.fancied he had Been in Venetian Gallery. '.' So 1 not gone to bed ?" he said rattling the door-handle, and coming in with an air of well-feigned unpremeditation. "Don't look so startled, my dear fellow. 1 can't sleep to-night, and I've come down for tho second volume of that' Life of Goethe.', Bnt what business have you to be flirting win the fine arts at this unearthly hour of tho some morning?" " None whatever, only I thought Iwonld 'just glance at my picture with a fresh eye not having seen it for several days." And, but for Cochrane's hand upon hig arm, he would have hastily replaced tha canvas with its face to the wall. •'Not so fast, if you please," interposed the intelligent observer. "I should like to look at it again." It is an upright subject, containing two figures, half life-size, in media-val costume student seated, a woman standing' a" table between them. The' woman wears a green and white dress, edged with dark fur. Young, beautiful, earnest-looking, she gazes' out of the picture with a rapt expression, Her left hand rests upon a globe of iridescent glass?. The youth (in a short surcoat of of violet velvet, black hose, and pointed shoes) sits with his back towards the speb tator, his face upturned, his hand grasping i the arm of his chair, in act to rise. Pale, eager-eyed, breathless, he listens and his soul seems to hang upon her lips. The tabla .was strewn with mathematical instruments and writing materials. An illuminated missal lies opon on the floor. The back, ground represents a gothic interior seen in the warm glow of a stained glass (window, one pane of which, being open, lets in a flood of pure light upon the face and figure of the girl. The picture, half real, half symbolic, tells its story easily. The artist calls it " Divine Philosophy." " Humph I—just so," said Cochrane, after contemplating it for some moments in silence. " You don't knowwhata compli. ment I have been paying you, my artist friend. I have actually been taking yon for Paris Bordone." . i . "Paris Bordone?—well I have often wished that the soul of Titian had elected to enter into this poor body of mine ; but I'm 1 not so sure that I would care to afford a local habitation to Paris Bordone. What put that comparison into yonr head ?" . " Divine Philosophy herself. I recognised that head the moment I saw Miss Savage with her hat off; yet I could not conceive where I had seen it. I made sure it was in \ some painting of the Venetian school . !; ■'■'■, . and there ' is' a feeling of Bordone in it j a waim flesh-and-blood solidity—a direct. ; nees—a* freshness . . . .by ; Jove l l Brackenbury, it's a mighty ;nice hit ot > painting." : ■ !;:-\ . " I wish I could think so," said the-tist 1 with some embarrassment. : * ' •-' ; " Wny didn't you tell me it was a portrait ' of Miss Savage ?" ; "It is not a portrait," said lanc-not, . reddening. "j ' -'''■ -'". i Cochrane looked first at him, then at tho ' picture, and lifted his eyebrows incredu- J lously. " That is to say, it Jis not altogether eh ) ideal head. I—l may have taken a hint; " ''■■ " Miss Savage did not sit for it, then ?" "Certainly not." Cochrane made a telescope of his hands; drew back; and, whistling softly, i_< spected the picture from various distances. " For a portrait — painted"—' from memory," he said slowly, with a pause between each word, "His really—an un. . commonly—good likeness. And whatever i you may say, my friend, a portrait'is'a 1 portrait—whether the person represented ) sits for it or not. The complexion is i capita]—pose of the head very . cleverly ) managed—the eye, too—earnest, luminous, • frank you have caught the - expression, and given it'just that touch of elevation which the subject demands.",'" Then with a sudden change from! criti cism to sarcasm, he added meanjngW.:-^-1 " ' Her eyes, her lips, neroaeeraj hershaßOi her featurea > •.-,,,;.,," i Seem to he drawn by Love's Own hand— '■ By Love himself in love;' : ; -'-ssys,.L —who says that, by the way ? Not Shakes peare?" ~i '. Lancelot drew himself up. .'';'",':'.'" "Thelines, I think, are■ Drydeh's, ha said, stiffly ; " but Ido not see their ap* , plication." ' •!.,;. i "I beg your pardon—it's no hiisine,&^f > mine. Anyhow, you have' painted are« 1 markably good picture. What the d'euca , has become of that second volume?— Thanks, I have found it—under this heap of newspapers." And with a glance at the clock on tha mantelshelf, now pointing to half-past three, Cochrano once more said " Good. .night." - ■•'."i.'ll'i But as he opened the door, he paused and . listened. • ■i;; ''V \- "What's that?" he said. . ' ~M ' ; " What is what ?" • ~.--.'■■ Itffijri i Cochrane held up his hand. ■_ ,i tmm ' "Hushl" he said. "Ihear, ai hofte , galloping it draws nearer! 'Surely, • you hear it now ?" ... ;:)■'•!. ---1 "I think Ido By Jove I it's some J one coming down the lane—and in'a devil • of a hurry, too ! Let's go and seeovihaiit J is 1" i ■■■•.-.

Gentlemen,— Having suffered from eczema (a skin disease which is very prevalent in this colony) for about nino years, 1 had consulted numerous medical men hero and in Australia, and had taken arsrinic, strychnine, iodido of potassium, etc., internally, and had used pre parations of zinc and lead externally. In fact I had tried all tha remedies known to the faculty, aDd what between travelling doctora and drugglßts' bills, had Bpent a Bmall fortune, almost if not wholly without reßnlts, except to injure my constitution. During a reoant visit to Hokitika I was recommended to try your Extract of Eucalyptus Globulus by a brothei who had experienced great benefit from it in alloviatlng a very severe cold, and, no less to my surprise than satisfaction, I found tbe disease which had troubled me so long was conouered, and tho skin' reanrned ita normal condition, Thia was effected by tho external use of lest than two one-ounce bottles. You are welcome to mako any use you please of this letter, and I subscribe myself.—Yours (Signed) JOHN H.
