(Continued from our third page.) Lobelia's diamonds were as large ns report said they were. She had just begun to en joy herself. It was like coming into anew life to meet her acquaintances, to see them sparkle aud shine, to feel that there was a world outside her castle .walK But Blue beiud tapped his foot impatiently, and followed her everywhere like Mary's lamb, until she turned-reluctantly|away to bid her hostess farewell. " Going? -ho soon ?' said Mrs Alfalfa, with her prunes-and-prisms smile ; and then Futiinn put on her wraps, was bundled into the carriage rather unceremoniously by her liege lord, and they drove off with the pas sionate wailing of "flute, violin and aassoou " following them afar. Fatima checked a cob, and turned it by some mani pulation, into a sigh. " What's the matter ? Are you sick ? mumble 1 Bluebeard, with his hat over his eyes. » I wish we (could have stayed just a little lougcr," siud a tremulous voice from the corner. "Why, why didn't you stay 7 I was will ing to stay as long as you liked; but J don't see what pleasure there is in that sort of thing. Those rooms wife infernally hot, and cverv minute somebody poked hiß elbow into your ribs. 1 don't see why a man will try to put twice as many people in his house as it will hold. Theie's no enjoy ment ill going to such a place—not a bit." " Well, why do you go?" retorted Fatiroa, with a Hput of spirit. "Go? Why, I go to please you." And before the magnificent and audacity of this assertion Fatima quailed and was silent, -die did not care or dare to say, " You miserable old humbug, you insisted on our accepting this invitation because you wanted vlr Alfalfa to grind one of your rusty axes. You nevei do anything for my pleasure un less under protest. You made me so uncom fortable by your impatience while we wen tlicre that it took nil the nice out of tin entertainment." Fatima did not say auy of these things, because in the first place, she knew from experieuce the folly of arguing with such an inconsistent iconoclast as a tired, sleepy man. hhe was a gentlewoman, and she would not quarrel. Moreover, she did not allow herself to think out these tiling? squarely. They only flitted through her mind in a vauge way. Lastly, she knew mat Sister Annie (who made her home willi them) was cominu back from a visit oh the morrow, and Bluebeard disliked Sister Anne, Fatima had to break the newt ucutly, and coax the tyrant into amiable acquiescence ; ho she gulped down her tears, her regret*, her pride, all in a mouthful, and changed the subject to one which would please her fastidious audience of one. 11 Ah-h—h, tin's is a good deal better Ihnn j,o\n)> to parties, isn't it, ?" grunted Blue beard, after a struggle with the boot-jack. ■' Home is the place after all." Fatima surveyed her figure in the glass —the dress which had cost her such vexa i.ion, and the elabrote coiffure; and slu f ii.i- ' ■\r.t the game was scarcely woitb the candle, i nc i..;al day b.ought Sister Anne aud n house divided against itself, for Bluebcnrd c-iiild not understand why Fatima should need any councellor or confidant besides him .elf, any more than he could know why she wanted to stay longer than half an-hour at a crowded recuption. His mind was] so big as that he ,could not «qu«cze it down to a iizc which could grasp ihese infinitesimal tacts, so he dragged Fatima away from hei I'iUe, and made himself as obuoxious as pos ii'ble to Sister Annie, who was considered ■harming by eveiyb"<ly except Bluebeard. It is always when Sister Anne was there that lie ccolded the BOrvaute, found fault with Fatima, ledltred the children, aud set hie foot, so to speak, on any kind of table-talk ; >r ho sulked prrseveringly, as only a man can sulk. At any rate, he made of himself i vastKocialextinguisher, which shed gloom ivcr Bluebeard's Castle. And what sight ijouM be more pathetic tbnn Fatima tiuggling a«ain«t tic inevitable trying to be cheerful, to hide Bluebeaui's faults from Sister Anne, aud turn away tbf M'(lonic wrath of that impetuous sym pathizer ? Bhc was glad when Sister Vnne wont away on another visit, although <he loved her so dm ly. And Bluobcaid never thouvut it necessary to apologize fo> ■lis outrageous behaviour ; on the contrary, lie put on the air of a martyr, aud would not " come round " till Fatima conciliated and Haltered him into negative jjood-natnre ono uore. For, no matter what went wrong, Fatima must always l>c cheerful. No raaltei f stocks were ilo»n to zero, with ns«ess nents and Bluebeard to match—no matti i .f the children, or Bluebeard, or even Fatima herself were sick—no matter what sorrow or or private worry she had—sh< ■nust be bright and happy. Had she not a comfortable house, respectable clothes ?■- servants, a carraigc, a husband ? What more could any woman want ? Nothing of oour.-e. Aud she must have been wholly fn c from duties of any kind el*c why should Blue beard jo persistently declare the fact of her having nothing to do. "Anybody can keep house," .'aid Bluebeard, grandilo quently ; "you need only be systematic/ Bluebeard's home was nlwuys in older, 1m guests were always gracefully entertained. His favourite dishes were alwayj on the table, and as—according to I'luebcurd— Fatima did not look after these things, he have bad some benevolent tairy godmother who played housekeeperjustforfun. When Bluebeard came home at night he sat down on the easiest chair in the most comfortable room in the hous-e, and after finding fault with every dish at dinner, he smoked hie cigar, and then lay down on the lounge and slept till bed-time. The Bluebeards ncvei went to any plane of amusement, because Bluebeard thought amusements a bore, and after all, to a dutiful wife, what entertain ment could be surpassed by the si^ht of the recumbent and easeful husband 1 What concert could be equalkd by his vigorous snore ?—now crescendo, now piano, tremolo. It was certainly very weak and <ellish oi Fatima to wish for other pleasures. In fact, I'm not sure that it was not actually sinful. Sister Anne usually spent her evenings in her own room, since, it she and Fatima talked together, their conversation seemed to disturb Bluebeard ; and the dear girl's delicacy was rewarded by hearing Blue beard rate Fatima about so much gas being used unnecessarily. When Bluebeard first met Fatima he was charmed with her gay little, artless ways. He knew she was not clever, but he disliked clever women. He knew she liked society, but he liked it him self then. And when Fatima promised to bt his, he would have given her his heart's blood. He was her slave. He loved hei whole family ; he begged Sister Anne tc come and make her home with him ; he promised her the life of a princess in Queer Fatimii's court. A rose-cloud came dowr aud tinted earth and sky alike. It was beatific. I wonder if Sister Anne, in hei attic chamber, ever thought of all this, I wonder if Fatima, sleepily watching Blue beard's form under the mellow drop-light ever wi.-hed her glass of Time backwards, oi wished to shiver it altoueth<traud scatter its Sands. Perhaps they di 1 ; neither of then: were very clever, but they were women, anc women think queer things sometimes. Whether Fatim<i ate, or drank, or haci Bubo's hair cut, or went calling, she felt th« eye of her master always upon her. Every motion was made a point of interference but. woe betide Fatima if she so much as ventured toenquiicaboutauy of Bluebeard's commercial.'srKdilation. "I never tell my wife anything .ibout my business," he said royally. "I don't want woman gossiping over my affairs." So Fatima never knew positively whether they were on the verge of bankruptcy, or rolling in riches. When Fatima was first married, she was a proud, sensitive little creature, who shrunk from an unkind word, and asked no favours. But fifteen years of steady " nag ging " had hardened her, had made her sullen. Once she was the soul of truth ; but fifteen years of faultfinding had driven her into equivoque and outright deception. She was not strong enough to defy ; for he con sidered himself n model husband. And I am not sure but he was an average one. He never came home to Fatima with besotted face aud unsteady legs, as did some other Bluebeards slio knew ; he did not intrigue with adventuresses, as did still other Blue beards. But he wore jFatima's soul out by rubbiug on it his own miserable old gritty soul; aud that was bad enough. And as there was nothing to defy, she learned to endure. The ill-temper and selfishness of a hcaitily ill-tempered and selfish man make about as good a school wherein to learn en durance as can be found, for a woman who once loved the aforesaid man, and who is tied to him by law, by pride, by ho tor, and whose wrings are untranslatable. There are a few things which compensate partly, for the suffering which is every woman's heritage ; and. if these things bo denied her, it is indeed a poor sort of life she holds. Bluebeard went into the secret chambers of Fatima's heart " just as he pleased ;" he read her letters; hecraved.hcrvery thoughts; but ho did not even give her the key of his deadly closet. |Fatima had never been jealous, had never been curious, and she did not try ;to know what grinning skeletons might hang there. To be sure there was no shiny scimetar hnnciog over her lrad—only oue weary day after'another, when she dressed, shopped, called, and smiled, and went her round of duties, and knelt down to Bluebeard because he suffered her to live - because he gave her enough to eat and wear, and let her wait on him. There was only a never-satisfied hunger for sympathy, and un selfish love, and generous praise,

Faiima wa« not afraid that her hem? would be cut ofiF; she only feared she miThf not be strong enough to do her wifely dnt as her conscience wrote itdown daybvdnw Behind her lay fifteen wasted years • bef her. endurance. And Sister Acne' sitti* 8 in lior watch-tower, could not help hi , could not see even a dust out of whifh might rise the good brothers hurrvin!, towards Fatima and deliverance. S?«i*? Anne had to endure, too, bo many thin that she grew to question sometimes tf* propriety of living at all ; and as she was lov ma sister, she felt Fatima's woundsaln with her own. QDK But one day Bluebeard, toiling j n l office to iind Plutus face to face f P n trickenby an impalpable shape— a 'mvg tcrious something which the minister preaching his eulogistic funeral sermon called the hand of Divine Providence' which the doctor called serious apoplexy! which a materialistic friend called a debt ol Nature. The orders of which Bluebeard was a member framed black-rimmed couiw of their cut-and-dried "resolutions-" and society sent funeral wreaths and notes of condolence, and the widow put on deen mourning, ar, did Sister Anne also. It W S • found that Bluebrard, contrary to all preet dent, had left a goodly sura behind him anii made Famita sole legatee. P oor ijtt£ Faiima 1 she had been co carefully gh^ away from all practical knowledge that gh* • was as ignorant of bonds and Btocks and reality as fceJim, the baby. After the houre was cleared of the funeral flowers, and the first shock was over, a tiny wave of reaction came into Fatima's heart. Neither Bhenor Sister Anne could realize that they might git down to breakfast without a jangle bf harsh reproof. The newly-acquired liberty ' was too broad to be appreciated all at once but gradually it spread into a comfortable sense of relief. No, lam not hard-hearted', neither was Fatima when she bloßsomed again into something like her old-time joyousness; neither were the children, wta) did not feign any grief. Nobody was sorry when the cloud of dust lifted and disclosed the good brothers gallops ing up the road, or when they battered down the castle door and cut off Bluebeard* head with his own curved and glitteriijß blade. We all applauded mightily, and 1 thought it a very flue story. And who ehall cast the first stone at Fatima when I fa* that she was bewildered by her sudden free, duin, and let her wealth slip through her lingers all too easily, while her sons sprang up into fast, foolish young men, and made Fatima sometimes unhappy, All Fatima'g wealth could not bring back her lost year* • but she and Sister Anne enjoyed the ■world' pretty well; and the memory of Bluebeard and the hours of misery be had caused Eer faded away together, and she remembered nothing but that she was free. But Fatima has learned to know a Blnei beard whenever she sees him; and tffl 3 other day, when Mustapha and his were dining with her, and Mustapba was I telling one of his inimitable storieg, Fatinig M •iaid, wiping the tears of laughter from her yes, " Oh, Mr Mustapha, I wish I could have you at every'dinner party I give. Ishe always 80 delightful Mrs Mustapba?" And - tuat lady hesitated just an appreciable instant before she replied, with a smile; 'Oh, yos, of course." Fatima's very face clouded as she noticed the minute's pause, and she murmured to herself, "Bluebeard!1' And then Mrs MacCaity, who lives in tin alley round the comer, came in to wash,' and tried to hide the bruises on her arms; which Mr Mac had sportively tattooed thereon with a broken table-leg, in one of his "jamborees." Fatima lookek at her girlish dreams, but she has not yet ventured to build one for herself on the ruins of Elae beard's Castle. However, the chroniclers1 never wrote what became of Fatima the First ifter her rescue, and neither can we tell what our Fatima may find in the life.whidt' is before her, to make her remember that there are husbands who are not Bluebeards, and wives who are not Fatimas.—" Ban Francisco Argonaut."

Fevers which so quickly fasten on the debili tated system may easily be kept away by the timely use of this Of fMOST WONDERFUL REMEDY 1 "B» In fact by its use 1 the Most Malignant of Tropical Fevers have bkbn ejected from the Human System, and by its aid Dying, Fever-stricken Men have been, as it were, RAISED FROM THE DEAD t As Is shown by the following interesting TALE OF THE FACIFIOI A TALE OF THE PACIFIC. Wm. Opporman, Ksq., a wealthy island trader was for some months lying ill at Happemamma an island of the Kingsmlll Groun. in the Paciflo He had been seized with rheumat'c fever, whioh was followed by complicated disorders of a ter ribly severe nature, assuming tho form of a speciep of palsy never before known. The suf ferer's limbs swelled, tho legs lost all sensibility to pain ; the foot could be wrenched round or the Bkin pierced with a lance without inflicting; the slightest suffering. The sick man was evP dently unconscious of his having legs, and his brain was seriously affected as if with lunacy. In this deplorable state he was kindly brough from the islands to Auckland by Mr H. Hender son in tho schooner Coronet. Captain Moeller and, being a German, he was received by the Gorman Consul, G. Yon der Hcyde, Esq., and placed in tho District Hospital, where ho re ceived treatment for three weeks with no indica tion of improvement, his case being pronounced by one and all a most hopeless one. The oaptaln of the Coronet,, knowing that extraordinary cures had been effected by the use of Hitchens' Celebrated Blood 'Restorer requested the proprietor of the Blood Restorer to tako the case in hand, and a oontraot was entered into of " No cure, no pay." Mr Hitchens proceeded to the Hospital, examined the invalid and found him in an apparently dying state with scarcely a spark of life left. Mr Hitchons ordered tho suffering man to be removed to his (Mr H.'b) private reßidenco. where his wanta could personally bo attended to b- Mr Hitchens The latter administered tho modi cine (tho Blood Restorer) and used tho ointment frcoly. Mean while clergymen called, pronouncing tho capo boyond the power of man to eifectacuro. How evor, after six weeks tho effect of tho medioino became wonderfully apparent. The Blood Restorer hart actod stoadlly but Burely on the blood; tho deadly impurities were gradually eliminated from tho system until the stream of life flowed unchecked in its natural channels over tho entire man. Tho brain be came clear and active, and the limbs once again reioiced in natural circulation, the patient rising to his feet cured of diacasoa which had bafllod the skill of leading physicians, a living proof of the wonderful healing powers of Hitchena Celebrated Wood Restoror. TESTIMONIAL.! Anckiana, N.Z. To 11. A. H. Hitchens. Esq. Beforo leaving Auckland on my roturn voyage to the Islands, I have to perform the pleasing duty of acknowledging tho surprising cure I have received at your hands. Coming to Auckland as I did a dying man, being palsied and generally unconscious, and hearing from others that no hope of recovery was held out by medical men, I look upon yon now as the preserver of my life. I am convinced that to your medloine alone is due the credit for ray now being a living man. I beg to thank yon most sincerely for the kind ness you have shewn me while staying in your house, and in conclusion would earnestly re oommend sick people to use your Blood Restorer, as it is the most extraordinary purifier of the bloodl ever heard of, or met with in my travels.
