x> this hour, the Brackenbury's had prided .hcmselves from generation to generation ipon beinß the very flower of Conservatism. Never had their fair political frame suffered ,be faintest stain of Liberalism. What had Lord Brackenbury done that this horror mould befal in his time? Ho stared at his ion in silence. He almost wondered that ,lie library floor did not yawn beneath that foung man's feet nnd swallow him. " I nm sorry to offend your prejudices, rir," said Cuthbert Brackenbury. Lord Brackenbury made as if he was about ;o speak checked himself—eot up—walked ;be length of the room and back again— •esumed his seat —and not only looked but "elt as if the end of all things was at hand. " We will not talk of prejudices, if you please," he said at last, with a sort of gasp. "1 have convictions—sacred convictions; but no prejudices." " I beg your pardon, fi'." " Not for the word, if you please, Cuth bert—not for the word ; for tbo tact. It is impossible for me to express how deeply I am pained—and disappointed. Mr Brackenbury was silent. " Of course, under these—theße most un forseeu circumstances, I am thankful that you do uot care to go in to Parliament. I —upon my aoul I I think I should expire with vexation and shame, if a son of mine . . . But, there—l will not trust myself to speak about it. Let it pass—let it drop—let us never mention it again." " The subject will not he re-opened by me, sir," said Mr Brackenbury. "And-and Lancelot, perhaps . . . God grant that the boy's mind be not tainted I You must promise me, upon your honour, not to inoculate him with these per nicious Views." "Be assured, sir, that I never have spoken, and never will speak, Lancelot on matters of politics or party.' " Thank you. I must look to him now to represent the borough. Ho will have his mother's fortune. It is not much ; but I will do what I can to add to it from my in come. He mnst be brought up to take the borough." " I shall be only too glad, sir, to join with you in making any provision for Lancelot," said Mr Brackenbury, warmly. " Thank you. Just so. We will talk of it somo other time." Mr Brackenbury rose. j "lam sorry," he said, " truly sorry, sir, to have disappointed yoa. But I cannot help my convictioiia." Lord Brackenbttry shook his head. He could not trust himself to.'say another word upon the subject. " As regards Lancelot,'' said Mr Bracken bury, with his hand on tlio door, "1 am delighted that he should be brought up to take thejborough. And I should be still more delighted, if he were brought up to tako the young lady also." Saying which, he Went out and closed tbe door. Lord Brackenbury sank buck in his chair, and covered his face with liifi hands. " A Liberal I" he mnrmured despairingly. j " Heavens and earth I—a Liberal 1'

CHAPTER XII.

TliE WOOlNC! O'T. We all knoW how Richard of Cluster prevailed with the Lady Affne, and how Petruchio wooed Katheriric the shicw ; but bow Lord Brackenbury made peace with Miss Langtrey of The Grange, wooing her as his ton's ainbasnador for the hand of Winifred Savaco, is a matter whereof the family papers contain no record. It is at all events certain that ho broke the ice with as much skill as he niiyht have used iv manipu lating a difficult and delicate international For, as Mr Brackenbury had said, Miss Langtrey was a good hater. In fact, she not only prided herself Upon being a good hater, but she especially prided herself upon the excellence of hat hatred towards the Brackenburys and all that wnH theirs. She shared her soul, so to say, between her love for her brother and her enmity towards his opponents ; and when he d'ed, she charged his death to their account, and carried it over to swell the balance against them. A narrow-minded, bitter spoken woman I —one of those who take their religion sadly, and are no less 1 aid to themselves than io those about them. Yet Lord Brackenbury prevailed with this formidable spinster, How ho achieved hia victory was a secret known only to him self. He used afterwards to liken his enter prise to certain British missions to Oahomey and other strange Court*, and declared that Miss Langtrey received him seated on an ivory throne in the midst of a circle of skulls. Still he prevailed. Ho worked probably to some extent upon her ambition ; for Miss Langtrey was not blind to tho worldly advan tages of the proffered alliance. Perhaps he worked also upon her love for her brother, and showed how the fancied wrongs of the late Squire would in fact be righted, if not only the coalmines, but'the whole Bracken bury property, came by and by to be in herited by a son bom of this marraige. It may even be that he pleaded hot only for the future but for the post— that far-off, tenderly remembered past, when as yet there was neither strife nor thought of strife between their two house?, and when, with the eyes of a lover, he beheld in Maji I Langtrey the sweetest and fairest of the daughters of men. And if Lord Brackenbury did venture upon this delicate ground, he ventured, one may he sure, with the conviction that lie should not fail to evoke some faint response even in Miss Langtrey's breast. He well knew that in every woman's heart, however shrivelled and soured and solitary, there lurks a spark of romance, if one but knows where to strike for it. And here again his diplomatic crafts would stand him in good stead. He would know where to sound and how to strike ; no man better. But this Is conjecture; whereas, that Lord Brackenbury mado his peace with Miss Langtrey, and that between them they agreed to arrange the marriage in question, is incontrovertible fact. Henceforth: a systematic interchange of civilities was established between the high contracting parties; and the neighbourhood beheld with amazement how Lord Brackenbury walked down the church path on Sundays with Miss Langtrey and her neice, and how Cnthbert Brackenbury began ore lons to rido over once a week—generally on Wed nesday afternoons—to pay his respects to tbe ladies at the Grange. noi that Mr Brackenbury aurally began his wooing at this early stage of the pro ceedings. The young lady proved, indeed, to be younger than Lord Brackenbury sup posed, and was not fourteen when the re conciliation took place. Nor was the suitor in haste to begin writing sonnets to his mistress' eyebrow. Enough that he came and went on the footing of an " habitue'" at the Grange, and tbat the girl not' only became accustomed to his weekly visit, but learned to look forward to it ns to the one event of ber monotonous life. By and by, ns she grew older, there dawned upon her a vague conviction that she was destined, at some distant time, to become this young man's Wife; but the prospcctlwas so remote, and her notions of matrimony were so undefined, that it affected her no more than we are ourselves affected by the knowledge that our planet must, ages hence, cool down to the death point of universal ice. He seemed to her dreadfully old—as old, almost, as his own father; but then she would herself be dreadfully old in course of time, so that it would not really matter. He brought her books, and ferns, and photographs ot places abroad and of works of art in foreign galleries; was always courteous, always kind ; treated her, perhaps, too much like a child, and behaved himself too much like a philosopher ; but made her life at all events in many ways pleasanter than it had ever been before. So it was not wonderful that she ended by thinking him the wisest of mankind. Thinking him tho wisest of man kind, she naturally regarded him with awe, and was on her best behaviour before him ; which behaviour savoured considerably of the schoolroom. If, however, the Winifred Savage of Mr Brackenbury's was "sober, silent, and demure " almost to a fault there was another Winifred of whom he knew nothing-a Winifred not of the school-room, but of the poultry-yard and the stable, the woods and the field. A Winifred from whose eyes and lips the laughter and lightheartedness of youth were not wholly extinguished, despite the straitness of her bringlng-up; a Wini fred whom the old cob followed like a dog, and into whose pockets the cows thrust their wet noses in search of tho rock-salt they woro sure to find their ; a Winifred about whose feet the turkeys gathered and gobbled, and upon whose head and shoulders the pigeons fearlessly settled; a Winifred whom the lame pointer and the purblind retriever loved as only dogs, and perhaps some few women, know how to love; a Winifred whom the old women-servant adored, and tho dairy-maid worshipped, and the cow-boy would have died for ; who , was, never so happy as when rambling over tbe fields, feeding the chickens, poking about the sheds and outhouses in search of hens' eggs, run ning in and out of poor folk's cottages, chatting with the old women and playing with the children; a Winifred who could laugh as merrily as if she had never been taught that the mirth of a well-bred young woman must never exceed a smile, and who could cry in secret over a ; foolish old romance as bitterly as if Miss Langtrey had never preached tbat novels and plays, circulating libraries, and theatres, were among the choicest inventions of the devil, ° '

Of this unmannerly Winifred Miss Lana. trey knew very little, and the HoTourohf. Cuthbert Brackenbury nothing Bff3 A young lady who is given to scanme¥n| about a farmyard without hat or cloves ; n different to appearances and reckless nf freckles, must inevitably, be found out now ■ and then; and M l6g Langtrey. who farmed her own few acres and looked narrowly after oil tho sources of her narrow income couM not tail sometimes to surprise her niece in " flagrante delicto." But as Mr Bracken bury's visits were paid with strict oaaZ tuality on a certain day at a certain hour Miss Savage was in no danger of beinii caught by him in the act of swinging on the stackyard gate, or feeding the old cob with carrots in the stable. He knew her odlvor a well-ti kined young lady who played oH fashioned music on an old-fashioned pianri said very little, was an excellent listener and took au intelligent interest in the stmlv of Dante. !...■" Meanwhile, although Lord &ackenbrir» and bis son knew quite well that there »m poverty at The Grange, they little cnes»'e§ with what difficulty Miss Langtrey, farming something less than seventy acres of laid contrived to keep the old roof overher niece's head and her own. Those acres con sistcd for the most part of low-lviniJ meadows bordering both sides of a fitffi river known thereabout as the Gipninrf These meadows fed Miss Langtrey'*' cows • and upon the produce of her dairy ana her poultry yard, and the rent of her' few poor cottages, Miss Langtrey lived, fin. kept a dairymaid, a cowherd* and one acea female servant, who had lived in the family since the late Squire was a baby." Theold cobdid what lightworkwasneeded,atd'tbok the ladies to Church in an antiqne hooded chaise on Sun days when it mined; and at Midsummer, Miss Langtrey's hay. , W ag carted for her by a neighbouring farmer How penuriously they lived; how, old garments were mended and turned;andold wardrobes ransacked; how, when one'bad year followed another, and the hay faUecl and somo of the cows died, Miss Langtrey parted with first one family treasure and then another; jipw the massive old silver.and the rare did wines' and the choice antique books were successively packed up and sent to London and sold at no matter what loss; Were facts known only to Winifred '/and herself. iS[, Mr Brackenbury never dreamed, when he used to ride over on those Wednesday afternoons, that tbe drawing-room shuttera were opened for that day only; or that, the furniture, and the china, and the picture frames, and all the faded splendours W.'jßfe room, were dusted in his honour by Miss Savage's own hands. Neither did tieguesß that the biscuits were of her making, ariS the coffee of her grinding; of that these things wete luxuries denied to theniis^reß all the other six days of the week.?. 1 (Still less, that except a* Christmas, when Miss Langtrey gave a certain quantity of beef to ber poor cottagers, tbe tntcher never'<#me to her door. But it mattered nothing to her and her niece how poorly they fateci or how often they turned and altered f&eir threadbare dresses, so long as they ,';bnt Ihediftthc old home, and satin theold high'baeked pew on Sundays, and kept ihe world at arm's length and the secret'of their poverty to themselves, .'..'' Meanwhile Miss Savage, who had, not done growing when Lord Brackenbury first made peace with her aunt, travelled by im perceptible stages from girlhood to early womanhood, and by the time she ¥a» seventeen, had developed into a tall Blender damsel; tolerably well-educated, cMot. ing that Miss Langtrey had been mFJmf teacher, and ao fair to look upon thai Lord Brnckeubury, who Was professedly difficult, lost no opportunity ot trying to awqkefthli son to a due sense of bis good fortune. „., " With such a wife as Winifred Si^ge, my dear fellow," he was wont to say, 'Ib man should aim at social distinction, ' "She carries her head like a queen. She moves, speaks, gets up, sits down, with ao intuitive grace and dignity that no amount" of drilling could possibly put into her. : .Then as for her eyes—Heavens arid earth rCmfti m bert, if I were of your age, and in yonr place, I should think myself the happiest man in England 1 Arid mere than *,hit, it would be my ambition to see my. Sras admired. I should want to>ee her ahirie at every Court in Europe. By Jove! I should aspire to be Viceroy of India." ,';;';;. To all of which, Mr, BrackMhury generally replied that he was uhfortvitoateb/ quite destitute of ambition, 'arid that he feared Mm Eavage must hereafter be content to shine with such ' tnoderals splendour as would befit the wife of monplace country geutleman t) " b Apart,: * however, from any hope, that he might yet cherish of inducing his eon to enter prißilc, life, Lord Brackenbury's main object promote the marriage of these two ypl^ig, peoplo to as early a date as passible,, He would tain have bad them tie the indissoluble knot as soon as Miss Savage should attain her eighteenth birthday; but on this ques tion he found himself in a minority film •, tj£ Elderly spinsters irivariably, disapprtmil||j' early marriages; and Miss LangtreyVai o -. exception to that rule. She, had, moreojfer, taken it into her head that under .$* peculiar circumstances', of the prtserit»cn- D gagement, her neice could not, VieHher becomingly or with dignity j Wed Mr * Brackenbury before she came of age.J Miffl Savage heiself declared that. she. not marry till she Was quite, quite t Mjr thirty at the very least; and that, if,cither Led Brackenbury oi-his son said .a'srilaUe to her on 'the subject she ,would'g6,'.hm» Protestant sisterhood, and|neveriharfyala!l. As for the bridegroom'elect, he,p"rbtes|d that the ladies were perfectly right, ,tba|}p father was wrong, and that for his ow^Wt he was wiliing to Wait.Miss Savage's^lea sure. In the end, however, al, poipproinißß was effected, and it came to be. understfjod —tacitly on the part of the tw.O; mrist,s" forested, and explicitly, on the part blwrd Brackenbury and Miss Langtrey^thakjije wedding should take place, when the ypiujg lady had completed her nineteenth year. And rioW things went bri prettyii^poh^as before—Mr Brackenbury, as usualjfm^juig about tbo world in his yalcb/wrijinij^nce a week to bis. lady-love;wli'ehi a)V^»»nd calling at the Grange on the orthoflcijjWed" nesday afternoons when, at honie,jjJs»i Savage busying herself more than'ever ja the. homely farmhouse duties, Joyi^gjtße simple life, nnd unconscious of ils.prjiva tions ; Lord Brackenbury, when PartfMMPt was not sitting, calling frequentlkaOJe Grange, playing backgammon n| MJM Langtrey, courting the young lady, mffj* son, teaching her to ride, giying ber,a!haipe and keeping it for ber in his, own stables, paying unremitting attention, to bptli.*}int and neice, and as often as he dared dp, tp, sending presents of flowers, fruit, and game for their acceptance.' ~ • '•";', , 7:,' lt «« Thus time passed, and .the'lf»sflpro|j tionary year was fast drawing, tR a^fi when, almost witboul; warriirig'.o|, jlwrapi Lord Brackenbury died 'suddenly tyipM' bridge Wellß in the fifty-fifth year^pf.JhiJ age; and Mr Brackenbury—.the,1 Wpl Brackenbury of the opening chapters'm,^ history—succeeded to the title' and,eslatejj.

There hadbeen .little sympathy, and no "camaraderie,',.WoPi'" ever, between himself and Lord Bracken bury ; but he felt the shock none, the Jess severely..

I have been a great sufferer for the last three yo»rs with chest complaint, d urine whioh timo I havo been frequently under the caro of skilful medical men, Doth in New Zealand and the neighbouring colonies, but : cannot say I ovor experienced/ any beneflcia effect from their treatment. Lost summer I commenced taking your Lime Mixture, and am ■ happy to inform you that I hove been steadily improving weekly over since—notwithstand ing two or Ihree severe colds I have had thiß winter-ond am'now almost free from com plaint, and can safely say, undoubtedly it is the best medicine I havo evor taken, and as a sooth ing expectoront it i« not to by equalled.

RMany others suffering from Bronchial and Lung Complaints have borne witness to the un questionable efficiency of in cases,!whoro tho usual remedies have failed. Tho effect upon those afflloted with that dreadful disease CONSUMPTION, and its kindred chest affections, is best described in the language of one who experienced benefit, as follows :-"After commencing the medicine the expectoration came away freely, my cough appeared to be naturally relieved, aid I conid then Bleep at night, although it was impossible i to get quiet sleep previously—my cheat seemed to have a weight lifted off it, and I could take o breath with freedom. My appetito is better, and I feel altogether stronger, and in a fair way to recovery."

To ho Editor: Sir,—Herewith wa have the Eleasure to forward you a letter from New Zeo tnd bearing testimony to the successful treat ment of a skin disease of long standing through the use of our Eucalyptus Extract for the bene fit of those similarly afflicted. We hope you will deem the subject of sufficient importance to afford this letter a space in your valuable paper.—Yours truly, SANDER & SONS. Bridge-street, Sandhurst, July, 1880. INVEROARGILL, N.Z,. Bth JULY [1880. Messrs. Sander & Sons, Sandhurst. Gentlemen,—Having suffered from eczema (a skin disease whioh is very prevalent in this colony) for about nine years, I had consulted numerous medical men hero and ia Australia, and had taken arsenic strychnine iodide of potassium, etc., internally, and had used pre- ? orations of zinc and lead externally. In fact had tried all the remedies known to the faculty, and what between travelling doctors' and druggists' bills, had spent a small fortune, almost if not wholly without results, except to injure my constitution. During a recant visit to Hokitika I was recommended to try your Extract of Eucalyptus Globulus by a brother who had experienced great benefit from it in alleviating a vory sovore cold, and, no less to my surprise than satisfaction, I found the disease which had troubled me so long was oonquered, and tho skin roanmed its normal condition. This was effected by the external nse of less 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.
