DOR \ SEATOUN’S LOVER.
She was vary pretty, with a lis
some youug figute, ve v badly
dressed, and Charles St. Austace
leaning over the deck-tailing of
the Stottish Queen, looked iu vain
for her companions.
His eyas had been caught by
her great bronze braids, and held
by her beauty and loneliness.
But he was about to di.- miss the
subject carelessly from his iniud,
when a young man s'ouc cd up
frotn the oabin and sit down be
side the girl. Ho was a good
looking, flashily-dressed, vicious
looking fellow; and St. Eustace
idly wondered what relation he
held to his companion.
He did not look like her broth
er—he was t o dark and too
coarse; he might be her husband.
People of that class marry so
shamelessly youug and so repre
hensibly, he thought; but one
tiling was quite certain, the fellow
had been drinking, and pity was
ad led to the youcg gentleman’s
regard, as he continued to ob
serve the two.
He had traveled much, and seen
all kinds of people, but it struck
him that he had never seen so
pretiy a girl so unsuitably accom
paniedin bis life
The Scottish Queen had just set
sail, leaving London behind her,
and was bound for Edinburgh.
St. Eustace lemakied on deck
until the boat was well d .wn the
river, and then v.eut below for a
book he hud placed under the pil
low of his berth. In the cabin
the youug girl sal alone, crying.
Si. Eustace’s steps were arrest
ed. He involuut rily lifted his
ha , his face softening wiji re
gret.
“I beg your pardon. Can Ibe
of any service youT'
The young girl looked up, then
dropped her face and soh' ed iar
der than ever. Y'hen she looked
up again.
‘I don’t know; I don’t know
what to do ’
There were few passengers on
board, and this seemed to be the
only lady. One or two men,
stro’iing by, stopped, curiously.
‘Let me take you to the other
end of the cabin by the window;
it is cooler,’ said St. Eustace, obs
serving this, and offering his
arm.
Shb rose and took it. He piti
ed her; had a gentleman’s instinct
to serve any woman in distress;
but ha was conscious, also, of her
very ugly green delaine dress, her
faded gloves fringed at the fingers
tips, her small, thick boots.
“What's your trouble?’ be asked,
when she was more screened from
general obsetvation. ‘Or shall I
send the cuptttiu to you?’
‘I don’t know,' she said again.
She -vas very young—not more
than seventeen —and had that
unconscious and man
ner which made intrusion upon
her as impossible as if she were
possessed ot tbe greatest stateli
ness. She made an effort, al last,
to check her sobs.
‘You are very kind! I’ll -ry to
tell you. 1 have come from Lon
don. /have been living there.
My gr&DdmoiLer has died, and my
grandfather has sent me to my
aunt, in Edinburgh, whom I never
saw. He put me in care of tha
man on deck. He did not know
him much. 1 am afraid of bioq
and I am all alone.”
‘ls that ali?’ asked St. Eustace,
with a smile of rehtf. ‘lt is very
unpleasant for you, of course, but
that fe.low cau be prevented from
annoying you. I will speak to the
captain.’
‘lnecaptain thinks I am in his
care. His name is William Small
piece. He is—— ’
‘l’lpsy. Ceitaiuly he i», a
very badly. 1 wonder (Japtu
Balfoui doesn’t notice it. I w
find him immediateiy. Am j\
quite comfortable here? Let uu
bring you something to read.”
He unlocked the door of his lit
tle cabin, and brought her some
magazines She tried to smile
with her eyes still red, and to
thank him
'I believe I am veiy homesick,
or I should not care so much,'
she saiu, with a final qniver of the
red lips. ‘My grandmother’s
death hat broken tip our home,
anti my aunt J have never seen in
my life.’
‘I am an Edinburgh man ray
self; possibly I may know her
What is your aunt’s name 1 ? asked
St Eustace, taking a seat.
‘Mrs. Elinor Lorton, of Linlith-.
gowsquare.’
Mr. St. Eustace smiled.
‘Are you Dora Seatoun?’ he ask
ed.
The girl nodded quickly,
‘Then I know you very well,'
said her couipunmu, offering his
hand. ‘I have often heard Mrs
Lonou speak of you. You are
her sister's child. She wanted to
adopt you when your mot her died,
but your father's patents claimed
you.’
‘Yes.’
•Lit’ fe, curly-headed Dora.
Yes, she told me about you
ago.’ said St. Eustace, musing
ly-
‘Shu may have me now, said the
girl, musingly.
With tlie km best uio ives in tLe
world, St Eud,ueo spent an hour
trying to amuse tnis .0..01y youug
girl.
And while he chatted he fan
cied lhe eiegant Airs. Lortou’s
recepiionof so much beauty and
such utter lack of siyles.
The gnl was iu mourning for
her grandmother. Ho fancied
that she had ever been very poor
but there was a gon.ieiiess and
rthuemurt native to her that he
ihi/ugul prettier than any results
of training.
By-and-bje he offered his arm
for a promenade on deck, and,
since he knew her uuut, Dora ac
cepted ihese at.entioris gladly.
St. Eustace coultfnot but obs
serve how Very guileless she was,
and grew tender over her mnos
cetlCe.
lie gave her his card; he related
nruuj particilais of her aunts his
lor), that if any thoughts of fear
arose they might be set at res .
Aud, looking into (he sweet,
f aiiess eyes he was secreteiy ons
iy 100 glad that he was what be
pr Messed (o be—irreproachable
iu truth aud standing.
A few words spuktn to (he cap
tain gamed for Dora, too, his
biuff, fadwriy interest, and her
forlorn look was soon banished.
The sea-trip was lull ot novel
ty and pleasure for her, and her
prettiuess grew radiant as she
yielded to the fresh and healthful
icfiuetioe around her.
Air. William tjmallpieco fortun
ately became seasick at once, and
had to ‘seek the seclusi. n that, a
cabin grants’ for the whole (inie.
Bui Dora was a good sailor.
Though the boat pluuged restless
ly all ibe night, and beat about to
the incessant ringing of the fogs
boll, she canib to breakfast with
rosy cheeks and bright ojes.
She soon became a luvorile with
the captain, who placed her at his
right hand, and constantly en
couraged and complimented her-
The next was a bright and
beautiful day, and those of the
pwssengers who were not seasick
promenaded the deck in the bright
October sunshine, cr lounged on
settees and camp-chairs
By a marked courtesy, St. Eus
tace succeeded in preventing Do
ra from feeling the embarrass*
meut of being the only lady on
board.
Sue was more picturesque wiih
out the frayed gloves, sitiing with
her bounteous braids uncovered,
her slight shoulders wrapped in a
white kuit shawl under an awning,
which tbe captain gave ordeis to
have rigged for he* - ; and she was
more conspicuously pie tty
Si 1 Eustace felt that the other
passengers er vied him as be loung
ed neai, chatting in quiet serious
ness. she silenly watching the
; shifting wa er, the hoveriDg cky»
the wiDging gulls or flying jails
wiih her eyes of sweet enjoyment.
Dora was both unassuming and
fre6 from embarrassment. Even
Mrs Lorton’s anticipated training
could not improve tbe young girl’s
simple lady-hood, ai.d St. Eus
tace felt himself deeply interested
respecting this young creature.
After supper the moon came up
1 g oriousiy. Dora ran up from
the cipin with a cry of delight.
‘Oh, how pretty!—like a dream!

she cried.
‘Would you : o like the change
of a walk? asked ftt. Eustace, of
fering his arm.
So they promeraded the srnooih,
white deck, the sea rippling, and
the moon shedding her soft light.
‘How pleasant this is!’ said Du
ra. ‘1 Jhougln it was going to bo
dread'ul when we came on board.
It would have beeu if it had not
beer for your kimluess-'
‘Do you tlbnfc I do not And this
pleasant?’ a.-ked St. Eustace.
What should I have done if yon
had not been on board?’
She louhed up with her frank,
sweet eyes.
‘I had nut thought of that,’ she
said.
St. Eustace laughed neartily.
Oh, well,’ she said, ‘>ve know it
can't make much difference to you
The young man watched her
face of humility, and thought he
had never tasiedsuch exquisite
lla'.tery.
‘Do we?’ he said. ‘I am not so
sure. See how white those sails
are, coining from beneath those
clouds. Do you,’ he added, prei
entiy, 'expect to enjoy yourself
at yourself nt your ouat’s? Do
>ou know how rich she is?’ he wont
on, ‘and how luxuriously she lives?’
‘1 had not thought, she said.
Gram)] n i ai.l she was a good wo
muL, vary cheerful ami charitable
I expect to be as happy there as I
caL be any where.’
Ho noticed the sadness of the
young voice, hit knew she would
soon recover from the sorrow of
losing her grandmother, and muss
ed on what the rich woman would
make of this swevt, unsophisticat
ed girl.
Dora could thrak of nothing but
her own pleasant emoti ns- Than

imla Bcer.e• handsome face,
the gallant figure made an era it
her life
But when she left him, she for
got all in the souud sleep of early
youth.
With St. Eus'ace it was (Tiller
eut. The confiding ctasp of that
little hand upon his arm seemed
to linger.
There was a marriage planned
for him by his father. Why did
he think of that now with abhor
rence, and vow thut it ueyer could
be?
He had not been so averse once,
though never enthusiastic, about
Miss Montgomery. But Dora
Seatoun's pure spirit aud fine
beauty was a revelation to him.
Alore dazzling faces he had seen,
never one that thrilled him to the
finest fibre of his being like that.
By grey daylight he tried to
scoff at himself; but at the first
sighto Dora’s a veet eyes made
him her slave again.
‘Only a short time more at sea,’
she said, with Iter sunny smile.
But ii was a long, bright day
and St Eustace made his resolve
When they had reached Edin
burgh, and he had put ter into a
carriage, he said:
‘I shall do myself the pleasure
of calling on you soon!’
‘How soor?’ she asked, bright
<y-
‘Perhaps to-morrow evening.
If not, give m three days* grace!

She had a girl’s heart, to be
glad at that look! And when her
aunt had made her at home, sh ■
forgot .he elegance around her to
muse on it.
Whan her aunt had tried a
sc >re of pretty dresses on her the
nsxt after-nooD, vhe signified her
wish to continue wearing one
which was pronounced satisfacto
ry.
‘I evpected a friend this even
ing,’ she faltered.
Her excitment did not escape
aer aunt.
When the evening passed, and
St- Eustace did not come, she
drew the truth from her.
‘Charles St. Eustace! 1 exciaimed
the lady. ‘My dear! 1
Dora waited with a sinkmg
heart.
‘Not but what you are very

der,‘ kissing the girl’a dimpled
cheek.
Such a pat , as she bad planted
it. that young heart she did not
dream of; her owe emotions were
ong since q uile controllable.
But when the ihree days and
subsequent weeks went by, and
there was no s.gn of (’liarles S/.
Eustace, she was annoyed by her
nice s sadness and abstraction,
and uitered some sharp words
tba: cui iuto the girl's soul.
‘‘F oily, presumption— _ es, it is!’
sobbed tli girl od her pillow.
‘But it was so sweet! A dit has
spoiled a!| the rest. I know lam
wicked, when At rt Elinor has
taken so much pains; but I care
nothing for it all. //e will never

my looks, and hat l havchamed

and has forgotten me.’
There grew into that young
heart a vem of bitterness; but
pride.wiif not unbeomtug to the
perfect face aud lissome figure.
A m nth bad passed, when a
party brightened the siateiy re

Dora was charming in her dress
of pearl-grey silk with its cherry

to be*- intimate fjiend, ‘that

A look of radiance bai spread
over Dora s distart face, followed
by an asiiy pallor.”
■in «n
‘Char'es.St Eustace!’ cried Mrs
Lortoa, clasping the freo bar. d.
She questioned him severaly; he
answered fearlessly
‘Go ar d find Dora,’ she said at
last, under cover of the music.
She was in *he conservatory,
drooping, trembling, among the
exotics. She could rot help her
look of reproach; it was involunte

said, gendy, ‘that I was thrown

‘What is that, Bridget?’ he eager

THE DARKY AND HIS DOGS.
I was stopping at the house of a
young planter, who owned a very
fine liouud, hut as he was no hunt
er he had no nffeclion for his
hound, which was over-t'ouil of
spending his time in the woods in
stunt of remaining at home to
please bis master. An old darky
on the piantiifion ovviwd four cur
dogs, usd the youug plainer, think
ing he would be hotter plea ed

than he was with his hound, de

‘Uncle Henry,' said the owner
of the hound, ‘I have come down

as one of dogs, a simon-pure cur,
came up wagging his stub tail, he
added : “1 will give you my line

‘Well, Mar's Billy, i’se alters

‘But, Uncle Henry,’said he, ‘you
