After tl)i.=, Fran Kreutzmann conduced her over the house, displayed her stock of preserves and cheeses, unlocked lier immer. ous presfes, and with innocent pride ex hibited her stores of linen, snowy-white tnd fragrant with lavender. Then The two ri r ] H —Kiitchen and Brenda—carried h?r oil to the garden, the orchard, and ;the paddock showed her their hen-hou-e and beehives' and introduced her to the I>ony, the cow, and' the poultry. Her owu room was just as Lancelot had described it—one fof three at the end of a corridor, commanding a wide flat landscape bounded by a range of very distant nioun! tains. Christine occupied the ladjoining chamber on the one side, while on the other was a large empty room, capable of being converted, as Lancelot suggested, into a studio. All this, it will be seen, wm homely euou<<h. So also were the ways of the family. They had prayers and breakfast at seven, dinner at one, supper at eight, I a the morning, while her niecee did the lighter household work, Frau Kreutzmann went to market, and prepared the mid-day meal. The pastor, meanwhile, worked ia his garden in summer, went out with his gun in winter, visited the sick and the poor, and looked in at the parish school-house. After dinner, when his womankind either sat at needlework or paid visits in the town, it was his'dail v wont to repair to the Royal Library, and there (being one of the privileged few to whom those doors of learning are open after public hours) he would read till dusk, seated in his accustomed chair in his accustomed corner. In that chair, in that corner the rrood man had spent his afternoons for the fast twenty years, accumulating material for a learned theological work which some said would never be finished, and which others declared had never even been begun. Then in the evcnirjgs he read 'aloud to his family —generally some book of history or travels; and sometimes, though 'not often, he spent an hour at his club. Such was Winifred's new home ; such the daily routine going on within its walls. Having brought her thither, Lancelot was to go back immediately to England. That is to say, he would remain for a day or two, to see her settled, aud to show her a few of the sights of Munich. The sights of Munich, however, are many, and can hardly be seen in a day or two, if one takes them seriously. There are churches old and new, paintings and sculpture?, gardens, palaces, museums, and private studios without number. To talk ot seeing all these in a day or two was a manifest miscalculation. That they should take a week was only to be expected. That they should take a fortnight was not wonderful. It was not till a third week went by that the Kreutzmann family began to smile myster. iously, and to remark that it took the Hcrr Baron a long time to showFraulein Winifred the lions of Munich. " Well, well, we 'shall see,'' raid Fraa Kreut2mann ; " but take my word for it, before he leaves, we shall have a be. trotbal !" "If they are not betrothed already!" suggested Brenda. But Katchen was confident that no sneb. betrothal bad as yet come to pas?. " Have you noticed how his eyes follow her when she is not looking ? That is not the way that Karl Kreb3 looks at Marie Breitkopf. Accepted lovera are not afraid to show their love in their eyes."

" Such beautiful eyes as the Herr Baron has too —and so expressive!" sighed Brenda thinking, perhaps, how delightful it most be to have a lover. Above all, a lover co handsome, so noble, so everything that a lover should be!

But Frau Kreutzmann frowned, and shook her head reprovingly. No young ranideu had any business to know that a gentleman's eyes were beautiful or expressive. The "Herr Baron," meanwhile, had taken up his quarters nt a hotel in the town; and although, in his character of ' cicerone,' he came every morning to fetch Winifred for some excursion or other, he was careful not to intrude too frequently upon the privacy of her hosts. It wa> only when especially invited that he spent an evening at the parsonage. On these occasions thejgirls put on their prettiest caps, and Frau Kieutzmaun made an apple-kiicken for Bupper. Alter supper, they generally had music Tbst is to say, Katchen and Brcnda soag Bavarian national songs, accompanying themselves on the gnitar and zitter ; and sometimes, if a neighbour or two dropped in, they pushed aside the tables and chairs, and waltzed, as only Germans can.

Thus the days went by, and to Winifred Savage it seemed that life was an enchanted dream. The place, the people, the galleries, tho palaces, the spacious modern piazzas, the picturesque old.by-streets—nil wore new, all were delightful. A -whole world of art, and beauty, and history was suddenly revealed tv her. Names that till now had been only Dames became wondrous realities. Gods and heroes and Cresars, immortal in precious marbles'of old time, held her in their awful beauty. Vandyck, Rembrandt, Albert Diirer, each in his habit as he lived, looked at her from the canvasses their own hands had painted. Reubens dazzled her with profuse and gorgeous pageantry. Titian'a Charles the Fifth turned upon her that in. Bcrutable mask which the great Emperor desired should be handed down to posterity by no other pencil. The frescoes of Cor nelius, Kaulbach,Liebertz, and their school brought beiore her the great, and ecod, and wise ot all the ages. Rottmann, in colours then fresh and glowing, showed her the fairest and most famous places of the earth —Borne, Athens, Corinth, Thermopylae, the Phins of Troy, the Field of Marathon. Had she ever before realised that the Past was once the Present—that the dead once lived, and were as ourselves? Bad the herself ever really lived till now t

Being, however, but a very imperfectly educated young lady, whose reading had been of the scantiest, and'whose knowledge of art was chiefly derived from the Lang trey family portraits, was she not in some danger of receiving too many impressions at ouce, and of becoming hopelessly bewil dered ! It was much to Lancelot Brackea« bury's credit as an Art-Mento that he fore* sair this peril, and guarded against it by a judicious (subdivision of his programme. He never introduced his neopbity to more than one echool at a time—to-day the early German masters : to-morrow the Spaniards yesterday, Bembrandt and ths Dutchmen, The other morning was spent among Greek and Etruscan vases. Next week, they will take the Italian schools, and the sketches of the Old Masters. The Netherlands school has, of course, a day to itself; and the exhibition of modern 'pictures demands more than one visit. Then there are the collections of gems, medals, and engravings; to say nothing of the various halls of sculpture in the Glyptothek, the historical frescoes in the Festsaalbau, the Konigsbau, &c, &c. As a system of educational sigKt* seeing there can be no question that Lancelot's curriculum was very nearly perfect; but then it took a long time to carry out. That was the worst-oii possibly, the best—of it. Then, besides pictures and sculptures, there were private studios ; and the name of the private studios was legion. To these they generally went in the afternoons; as then the artists were more at leisure. Winifred, meanwhile, held to her fancy that she should like to model. With tMi view they went the round of most of toe ateliers of sculpture in Munich i visiting among others, the studio of |a certain Herr Kriiger, who was a sub-professor at the Academy of Arts, and li^cdnot far from tbe Ercutzmanns, in a tumble-down farm-house on the lett bank of the lsar. He was an old man who had missed success while others acheived it, and remained unknown in the days when fame and fortune were to be pad in Munich almost for the seeking. Schwanthaler, and the followers of Schwanthaler, hadcanied off the prizes and the glory ; and Ktiiger, a dreamer and a recluse, had been left out in the cold. H. 6 was old, and hewaspoor,andheeked out n» scanty salary by taking pupils- The pupils met twice a week in clas«, ana were free to work in his studio daily. Winifred took a liking to the place at first sigbt, and to the melancholy little old man in his shabby blouse and old black velvet cap; and so it was arranged that she should join his class immediately atter Christmas^ "You will find three other ladies hero, he said. You will not be alone. But you must work. Art is a service—not a pas* tirce, Work hard ; work well; and I will cive you all I know. Have you drawn much from the round ?" " I have never drown, except a httloj very little—with pencil," said Wanned, timidly. •■ " Nor tried your hand at the clay ? " Never," He looked at her doubtfully. . . " You have no idea of modelling S M said. "N-no—not exactly. I have tried a little in wax." "In wax!" he echoed. Then, chatig«S his tone-" Ah, well," he Baid, you can but make the attompt. Ouly remember—you must work." ...:. As if she had come to Munich to be idle i As if work was not the one thing uponvwen her mind was set! . There was no danger of her not working-" after Christmas.

Sir,—l have oecn a sufferer from rheumatism for the last twenty years in tho old country. Through advico I lvooivod from medical mon I emigrated to New Zealand as being a warmer climato, and more adapted for tho cure of ray complaint. For tho last twolve months I havo suffered most frightful aßonlcs from tho pains in all my jointp. What made my capo worso I catiKht. a sovero cold. On the cold subsiding it left an asthma, which brought on dropsy; and sufferiug under Ihoso maladies I tried all medical aid, and was five months in tho District Hospital, Auckland, and neither my wlfo nor myself ever th ju lit I would leavo it olive, as I gradually got, worso, having pains and largo swellings in my kneo joints, and arms, shoulders and hands distorted. My wife hearing of your and seeing your testimonials in tho newspapers from parties which livo around us. I mado onquirles from soveral who had been under your treatment, who stated themselves that you cured them whon their caBO wao supposed to bo hopeless. I determined to see you at a hazards, and was helped to your place by m wife on sticks. Only five months under your care, and tho wholo of my complainte nave dieappeared.and am now ablo to follow my dally avocation. Thanks to a merciful Providence that I was brought under the influence of your medicine, and wishing.that you may bo long spared to be ablo to administer your valuable Restorer to other Bufferings as you havo done to me.—Yours faithfally, SAMUEL FIELD.

Having a vory bad attack of Sciatica and Lumbago, I was for woeksunablo to attend to by business; I was under the treatment of a medical man, and tried all kinds of remedies, but received no rolief; in fact I wa3 gradually getting worse. A friond recommended mo to try yotjr Bipod mixture, but you being a stranger to mo, and not know ing tho quality of. your mixture, I was sceptical about it. My friend called again, and again recommended mo to you, and from what he said I was induced to callonyouragoots, Messrs Hamilton Hros., and get a bottle of your Restorer, and I am alad to say that, after taking six bottles, I was ablo to attend to my business, andam nowqnito woll. Should any friends of mine at any time bo suffering with Rhoomatism, Gout, Sciatica, etc., I will most certainly re commend them to take your Hlood Kestoror.— I am, Sir, yours truly, N.

Gentlemen,—Having Buffered from eczema (a skin disease which fa very prevalent in this colony) for about nine years, 1 had consulted numerous medical men here and in Australia, and had taken arsenic, strychnine, iodide of potassium, etc., internally, and had used pre parations of zinc and lead externally. In fact I had tried all tlira remedies known to the faculty, and what between travelling doctors' and drucrtfists' bills, had spent a small fortune, almosl"if not wholly without results, except to injure my conslitution. During a recant visit to Hokilika I was recommended to try your Kxtract of Kucalyptus Globulus by a brother who had experienced great benefit from it in alleviating a very severe cold, and, no less to my surprise than satisfaction, I found tho disease which had troubled mo so long was conouered, and tho skin resumed its normal condition. Thla -was effected by tho external übb of less than two one-ounce bottles. You arc welcome to mako any use you please of this letter, and I subscribe myself.—Yours (Signed) JOHN H.
