her uncle, very sorrowful and gentle her
look- ~ .
“Dear uncle, I thought you would bo
going soon. 1 camo down to say good
bye."
‘•lndeed, yes; I must start at onoe,’’ said
Captain eton, pulling out bis watch.
“I suppose there is no ohango ?”
“No; none/’ Helen’s voice quivered a
little as she gave the answer.
“Good-bye, my child ; I am grieved to
have to leave you. I shall be back the
moment I can get affairs at Vienna settled.
God bless you 1” Captain Seton kissed
Helen affectionately, shook hands with his
son, and was gone.
When the sound of whoels had died
away, Ilenry Seton turned to his cousin ;
she was preparing to leave tho room.
“Don’t go, Helen,” he pleaded ; “can’t
you spare mo one minute? I have some
thing to say to you, and you are not wanted
upstairs.”
“Yes, I must go; don’t keep me,” said
Helen, nervously; but when her cousin
quietly detained her and placed her on the
sofa, she was too gentle, or perhaps too
subdued by grief, to resist.
Henry took his place beside her, and
sptjkc in a low, tender voice.
“I only wanted to ask you to let me help
you as much as I can, now my father is
gone. Nothing in this world could give
me suoh pleasure as to be of use to you.”
“Thnnk you,” began Helen, feebly,
“there is nothing”—but he interrupted
her.
“Helen, I cannot bear that you should
treat me as a stranger; you must not.
This is not the time to tell you how 1 love
you, and yet no, Helen,” detaining her
as she would haTe risen, “don’t be afraid ;
I will not go on. Don’t toy to answer me.
I only said it that you might know what
happiness it is to me to be allowed to do
anything for you.”
But Helen drew her hand away and
stood before him, tho drooping figure erect,
the clear eyes looking steadily into his.
“Henry,” she said, and her voice did
not tremble now, “you must never speak
to me again as you have just spoken. I was
afraid you were thinking of—of something
of the sort, and it dias made me seem un
grateful for all your kindness. But now
you will let me treat you as a dear cousin
and brother, and remember that I have
asked you with all my heart to forget what
you have said, and never, never to think of
such a thing again.”
How earnestly she spoke, and with what
gentle kindness she held out her hand to
him at the conclusion of her speech ! And
yet Henry fancied it was only maidenly
coyness that prompted her words.
* ‘Dear Helen, dearest cousin,” he said,
holding her hand in his, “I have been too
abrupt; but I have not asked you for any
answer yet, and I will not take one. Let me
be to you nowin a brother’s place, but,” and
he attempted to draw her nearer, “nothing
but the knowledge that you cared for some
one else would make me give up the hope
of being some day nearer to you than a
brother.”
Poor Helen ! The allusion swept away
her hardly maintained composure, and her
head went down in a hurst of {ears. There
was some one whom she did love, and who
dearly loved her, and he was far away.
That was not all. Helen had long known
that her father was living up to tho very
verge of his income; but she had supposed
that the bulk of liis property was settled
upon herself, and it was only within tho
last few days that she had become aware
that her father’s self-indulgence would
leave his daughter without provision for the
future. She knew it npw, and with it came
the knowledge that weary years of waiting
were before her, and before that other per
son, if, indeed, poverty did not separate
them for ever. It was torturing to have
her grief for her father embittered by such
a prospect—torturing to be unable to help
reproaching him in her thoughts even in
his dying hours. And now Henry had
sharpened the pain, Helen would fain
have hidden her love from all the world,
but his last words forbade it.
“I do care for some one else.”
The words came out with effort, and a
burning, painful blush. Henry slowly and
unwillingly released her hand, and she
drew herself away, and silently quitted the
room.
When he was left alone, Henry rose and
walked up and down with hasty strides,
What a fool he had been to be so prema
ture ! Why had he not ascertained before
hand the existence of this rival ? Yet, in
spite of his words, he did not relinquish
hope. Probably, after all, there was only
some foolish, girlish fancy in the way, that
would, that must fade before his own earn
est love. He felt he could not give her up.
No, he would win her yet; ho would, be
could, she should yet be liis.
So, notwithstanding what had passed,
Henry Seton went to bed that night, if not
satisfied, at least a determined and by no
means desponding man.
Henry Seton sat alone in the little room at
Hythe which had been given up to his use.
His face was grave, but not sad. On the
table by his side lay a few business papers;
but he was not reading them. He was rest
ing, leaning back in his chair, and thinking
of the future. Helen was now an orphan.
Her father had died four days previously,
and with his death the necessity for self-com
mand on her part had departed. The exer
tion had been prolonged, and the reaction
was severe. -Helen passed her days in bitter
fits of weeping, and though she did not re
fuse to see her cousin, she shunned al! allu
sions from him to her loss, or her present
position. Once she had sent for him to her
room, and given him a clear statement of
her father’s affairs so far as she knew them ;
but she had asked no question in return.
He was glad of this silence, for he shrank
from tolling her that she was dependent on
his father; but he would have liked to be
allowed to comfort her with tender words.
He could not venture to make the attempt;
there was a certain dignity about the quiet,
delicate girl, even in her grief, which held
him in a kind of awe. He thought of her
and of her forlorn position very tenderly as
he leant back in his arm chair. He thought
how her presence would brighten the house
that would be his father’s—Helen's old home;
how it might be her home in a truer sense
some day, if only she woult> allow it. On
the whole, his reflections were not unhappy.
A postman’s knock interrupted them. Ilenry
Seton had heard once from his father since
he left England. He had written from
Vienna, whither urgent legal business, un
dertaken for a friend in India, had taken
him. Matters had been arranged, and lie
had promised to write again to fix the exact
day of his return. But the letter that was
brought in, though it boro tho post mark of
a German town, was not in Captaiu Seton’s
hand, nor in any writing which Henry knew.
It was directed in an irregular foreign
scrawl, anil on breakiug the seal two letters
dropped from the cover, one in English, the
other in German. Henry took up the Eng
lish letter first. It was dated from an «b
FIVE DOLLARS A. YEAR.
scure village in Germany, and ran as fol
lows :
“Silt, —I grieve to have vent bad tidings
to communicate to you. Last Monday,
when the diligence in which I was travel
ling stopped at this place to change horses,
I was appealed to by the priest, who en
treated me to receive the last words of an
Englishman unable to make himself under
stood in German, who was lying dangerously
ill of a fever in the inn. On nligbting, 1
found that the gentleman’s name was Cap
tain Seton ; ho wus conscious when I saw
him, and seemed relieved at hearing an Eng
lish voice ; but he was in the last stage of
exhaustion, and sunk rapidly. He gave mo
your address, and sent his last lovo to Mary
and Helen. lam sure you will forgive me
for using these familiar names, as I do not
know to whom Captain Seton referred. He
gave no other directions, and, indeed, wag
scarcely able to articulate. He appeared to
me to have been sull'ering from acote fever.
Tho priest tells me that when the diligence
arrived the day before, Captain Seton was
unable to stand, and had to bo lifted out. I
presume he intended to have gone on to B—.
Os course I remained here. Unfortunately,
this village is so remote that no really good
medical advice could be obtained till many
hours too late. Captain Scton expired on
Tuesday, the 15th October, at two o’clock
a. m. Allow me to express my sincere
sympathy on this melancholy occasion. I
have directed that all Captain Seton’s effects
should bo packed up; and if you will be
good enough to communicate with the priest
(here followed his name and address) he
will take care that your instructions are
attended to. It was advisable that the
funeral should take place immediately.
“I am, sir. your obedient servant,
“Edward Wilson.”
The letter was rend, and Ilenry Seton
mechanically stretched out his hand for the
other. He felt dizzy and sick; but the
blow was not realised ns yet. The second
letter was from the priest, a hall-educated
German Catholic. He wrote, however, with
sincere feeling, and with deep contrition for
having, when driven to extremity, pressed
Mr. Wilson to visit Captain Seton’s dying
bed. The Englishman had not known the
extent to which fever, of an acute typhoid
kind, was raging in the villages around.
Immediately after finishing his letter, he had
been seized with sudden faintness; he had
been carried to bed, and in twenty four hours
more he had paid (or his act of charity with
his life.' The priest entreated Henry Seton
to break the news to Mr. Wilson’s relatives,
and lamented again and again over (he two
deaths, the last of which he laid at his own
door.
These wee the letters.
For full five minutes after he had laid
down the last, Henry Seton sat like a man
stunned by a blow. Then a sudden impulse
came upon hint; he seized his hat, passed
quickly through the passage, and let him
self out at the front door. Once fairly upon
the beach, he stood still; the glare of light
seemed to dazzle him. It was the first time
he had left the house since his uncle’s death,
and within, the closed blinds had made a
kind of shadowy twilight;* without, the
autumn sunbeams danced merrily upoli the
blue waters, and the waves came rippling to
the shore with a delicious murmur. The
beach was almost deserted, but upon the
terrace were one or two officers from the
School of Musketry conning their books.
Henry Seton turned away and walked rapidly
and unsteadily up the avenue that leads
from the beach to Hythe proper. He never
raised his eyes towards the soft green hills,
nor the grey church round which the houses
clustered. On, past the withered stems of
the trees which the sea had destroyed— past
those on which the autumn tints glowed—
through the high street, where one or two
persons turned round to look after him, ho
never know or thought where ho went till he
found himself opposite tho barracks. Then
he paused, gazed round him for an instant,
and turned again towards the shore. He
walked now with a still quicker step, like
that of a man who has a definite object in
view. Soon he turned into the dreary road
that leads towards Romney Marsh. Past
tho targets, at which groups of soldiers were
aiming—past the long range of beach ' used
as a drilling ground— past the scattered
cottages that lay here and there along the
shore ; faster and faster he walked, the hot
»nn beating down upon his head, and glar
ing up from the stones under his feet, tho
perspiration standing in great drops upon
his forehead, until he reached a solitary pool,
some miles from Hythe. No human being
was in sight; nothing living, except one or
two carrion crows hovering over the stagnant
pool, and a few sheep in the distance; noth
ing to be seen but a stretch of long coarse
grass, a wall of shingles shutting out the sea,
the sky above, and the melancholy black
pool. Here Henry Seton paused. He wiped
his forehead, threw himself at full length on
the grass, by the brink, covered his eyes
with his hand, and tried at last to look. his
position in tho face like a man.
He was ruined. Even grief for his father’s
loss was swallowed up in that thought. The
imprudent investment, easily forgiven when
another fortune seemed ready to replace that
which had been lost, now stood like a wall
of ice between him and his father’s memory.
Not yet could he mourn for him as a son,
and the consciousness of this added bitter
ness to his anguish. And in losing his for
tune he lost—what? He lost his position in
life, his home, his chance of rising in the
world, his love. Yes, Helen never would be
his. She would be an heiress, independent
of him; doubtless she would scorn him, if
he, penniless and friendless, should presume
again to address her. Yet who could love
her as he loved her ? He twisted upon the
ground as if in bodily pain. Presently he
took up the fatal letter and read it once
more. “Two o’clock, a. m.!” He had no
need to look again at the hour. And his
uncle had died at eleven on the same morn
ing. What a difference it would have .made
could his father have lived only twelve hours
longer; Two o'clock, p. m., —how the change
in that one letter would have altered the
color of his son’s life! The change of a
letter! He clutched the paper convulsively
in his grasp, and buried his lace in the grass
to overcome the thought that had flashed
into his mind. But it would not bo subdued;
it came again and again, even though he
loathed himself for it. How easily that one
letter could be . altered I The stroke of »
pen-knife, the stroke of a pen, and it would
lie done, and detection would bo impossible.
No Englishman had been near his lather’s
death bed, save the one who had so speedily
followed him to the grave ; no one hut him
self would visit that obscure German village
to inquire particulars; the priest would soon
forget the exact hour at which the stranger
died. Yes, it might be done; only if it
were, he, Henry Seton, who had always
looked down from his pinnacle of sulf
csteem with condemnation for tho erring,
and contempt for tho weak, he would know
himself to be a villian. Yet who would bo
thq,loser? Not Helen ; for he believed that
but for her possession of this accursed for
tune ho could win her love. Ilia devotion
would secure her happiness, and the riches
would all be hers. And if not Helen, who ?
There was no one else; no other relations
near or remote would suffer; but . Again
and again he wrestled with the suggestion
that had come to him, tearing up tufts of
grass, and biting them, in the bitter struggle;
ngain and again he root, as if to return
home, and end the temptation, again and
again he sank down beside the pool to gaze
ouce more at the fatal “a. m.” After each
struggle the temptatioq * seemed to grow
stronger, the power of resistance weaker.
Alas ! he was yielding—yielding!
The sun had long set > when thore crept
into the house at Hythera man with hair
damp and heavy with dews, with
slouching gait and wears step, a different
being indeed from the Henry Seton who that
morning had sat musing so calmly in his
arm-chair. He entered noiselessly, and
passed into his room.
When tho lawyer, a personal friend of Mr.
Seton’s, who had been summoned from Lon
don, told Helen the next morning of her
uncle’s death, her first impulse was to try
and comfort her cousin.
“Where is Henry?” she asked, rising;
“I will go to him.”
“You had better not, my dear,” interposed
the old lawyer, gently detaining her ; “he i3
in no stale to see yon ; I never saw a man
so broken down by grief. He seems com
pletely overwhelmed. lam afraid I ought
1 1 tell you before I go,” he added, after a
little hesitation, “that this will make no dif
ference in your prospects. Your poor uncle
died on Tuesday at two p. m,, just three
hours later lhan your father.”

PERKY DAY IS’
vegetable
PAIN KILLER.
WE BEG LEAVE TO CALL THE ATTEN
TION of tho public to this long tosted and
unrivalled
FAMILY MEDICINE.
Tho PAIN KILLER is a purely vegetable
compound ; and while it is a most efficient Rem
edy for Pain, it is a perfectly safe medicino, even
in the most unskillful hands, for
SUMMER COMPPAINT,
or any other form of Bowel Disease in children
or adults. It is an almost certain cure, and has,
without doubt, been more successful in curing
tho various kinds of
CHOLERA
than any other known remedy, or evon the most
skillful physician. Iu India, Africa and China,
where this dreadful disease is ever more or less
prevalent, tho
PAIN KILLER
is considered by tho natives, as well as European
residents in those climates,
A SURE REMEDY.
Asa Tonic for the Stomach, it is unrivalled.
A few doses will relieve severe cases of
INDIGESTION,
and it is often a perfect cure for
DYSPEPSIA
in its most aggravated forms. Its tonic and
stimulating properties, arousing the system to
vigorous action, render it a most effectual
cure for
COLDS AND COUGHS,
when used according to directions * ’
For external application, it is unsurpassed by
any medical preparation known.
RHEUMATISM
and Nouralgio Affections aro quickly relieved
and ofton cured by it. Any soreness in the
Muscles or Joints can be relieved by its applica
tion. It euros instantly the most violent
TOOTHACHE.
It should always be kept near at hand, to be
used in casos of severe
BURNS OR SCALDS.
If applied immediately, according to directions,
it will give instant relief, and prevent blistering.
It is peculiarly adapted to the wants of
SEAMEN,
and persons making sea voyages, and no vessel
should sail without a supply of it. One captain
writes us :
“I have mado sovcral voyages—often with
emigrants—and though I keep a good medicine
chest, and have several times had a good deal ol
sickness on board, I have found the Pain Killer so
efficient in all cases as to entirely proclude tho
use of all other medicines.”
One positivo proof of its efficacy is, that the
sales have constantly increased, and wholly
upon its own merits. The effect of tho Pain
Killer upon the patient, when taken internally
in cases of Colds, Cough, Bowel Complaints,
Cholera, Dysentery, and other affections of the
system, has been truly wonderful, and has won
for it a same among tho medical preparations
that can never be forgotten. Its success in re
moving Pain, as an external remedy, iu cases of
Burns, Bruises, Sores, Sprains, Cuts, Sting of
Insects, and othor causes of suffering, has so
cured for it such a host of testimony, as an
almost infallible remedy, that it wilt bo handed
down to posterity as one of the greatest medical
discoveries of the nineteenth century. The
magical effects of the Pain Killer, when takon
or used according to directions, are certain.
You have only to bo euro that you buy tho
genuine articlo and adhero to the directions in
its use, and you will admit its wonderful medi
cinal properties.
Tho genuine Porry Davis’ Pain Killer is nyw
put up in panncl bottlos with the words Davis
Vegetable Pain Killer blown in the glass ; and
with two steel engraved labels on each bottle—
one an excellent likeness es Perry Davis, the
original inventor of the medicine, the other a
steel engraved note of hand—none others can be
relied upon as genuine.
The Pain Killer is sold by Druggists and
Grocers. PERRY DAVIS A SON,
