rapidity.
Mrs. Dumas was too weak and frail to
give her much assistance, and with her
spirit of self-sacrifice she delighted to
deny herself every comfort to secure for
her mother the delicacies she really
needed.
Days passed on rapid wing, and Estelle
in her new sphere of usefulness, would
have been contented, if, not happy,but for
ono dark cloud that cast a shadow ovor
her life. Clifford Graham, the being she
had enshrined iu her heart, as the one
who approached most nearly her idol of
perfect manhood than any young man
she had ever met, though he still visitod
her, the lover-like spirit of devotion that
had characterized his manner towards her
before her changed eironmstances, was
now different, and his faoe wore a restless,
troubled expression, as though he was
straggling with Romo inward sorrow, that
ho was endeaving in vain to master.
He was the son of fortune and favor,
and the talents that under less auspicious
circumstances might have developed into
noble usefulness, had never been tried in
the vicissitudes of life, and had grown in
to an effeminate weakness for ease and lux
ury. His excessive extravagance had al
ready consumed a third of his property,
and a wealthy marriage was liis only hope
of relief from all present and future em
barrassment. Kuowing this, and really
loving Estelle with all the devotion of
which his selfish nature was capable,there
was a struggle going on in his heart be
tween love and self-love. He did not
have the manly courage to face the con
sequences, give up ease, and battle brave
ly with the world for her sake. When he
first saw and began to woo the peerless
Estelle, if the veil that shrouded the mys
terious future could have been lifted but
for a moment, giving him a glimpse of
the little white cottage with its industri
ous inmate robbed of all the outward
adornments of wealth, sustaining herself
and invalid mother by her own industry,
he probably could have resisted the spell
of her fascinations, but all unconscious,
the resistless tide of fate drew him on to
love, but too well, one with whom, in his
love of indolence and luxury he had no
desire to nnite, and now, like the moth,
unable to keep away from the light that
seorched vhilo it allured, he still contin
ued his visits.
Estelle, with the unwavering trust of
an inexperienced girl, believed him to be
noble, high-toned gentleman, incapable
of seeking the hand of one only through
high respect and devoted affection, and
now that circumstances and his changed
manner, revealed to her his keen disap
pointment because of her penniless con
dition, and the evident disgust he mani
fested iu his short visits for tho hnmble
though neat appearance of her little
home, her soul revolted at tho thought
that he had wooed hor through mercena
ry motives. A feeling of proud disdain
ruled out a love, that could not exist in
her heart, for one devoid of that high-
toned sensibility that elevates the charac
ter of man far above an act of solfish
meanness. Sho felt that she had been de
ceived in tho character of one she believ
ed to be purely honorable, and her spirit
imbued with a feeling of disappoint
ment and distrust that deepened the shade
of gloom that, Hinco hor father's death,
had enveloped her life. But she was
proud and self-enduring, and with the res
olution to receive no more under her roof
one so unworthy, sho worked more per
sistently thau ever, allowing herself no
time for bitter reflection. Sometimes
when the cares and responsibilities of the
day were rendered peculiarly trying by
the pressure from straightened circum
stances, and she suffered from physical
exhaustion, hope would die in her heart,
and she would look forward with dread to
the coming morrow, but sleep—“nature’s
sweet restorer” — would refresh her to
meet the exigencies of the day with re
newed vigor.
maiden to change the gloomy appearance
of my home, by consenting to bring the
snnlight of her presence to brighten and
beautify it, making supremely happy the
life of one who has loved her so truly and
devotedly. ‘Dear Estelle’, said he (tak
ing her hand and leading her to a rustic
seat), ‘before yon ever knew me, I saw yon
among a bevy of fair girls, with whom
you were gaily conversing, and the glori
ous light of your eyes, revealing the in
ward pnrity of a beautiful charaoter, in
stantly made me your slave. In a short
time after yonr father died, the desire to
see yon and serve yon, if possible, became
paramount to every other feeling, and that
visit commenced an acquaintance that re
sulted in fettering me hopelessly in the
chains of unohanging love. Since then
you have beeu the star of my destiny, the
bright meteoric light that has illumined
my pathway to eminence .in my profes
sion, makiug me

‘bat for long a time I have struggled in
darkness and gloom, the star of hope be
ing dimmed by the fear that you loved
another. Tell me, Estelle, that you do not,
and that I may hope to yet call you mine.”
“I do not now love another, but the
state of my feelings towards you I oaunot
fathom, and cannot, must not, promise to
become your wife without the assurance
of my own heart that I love yon, and yon
love me with a certainty of no change,
once loved another, and believed him good
and true, but the reverse of fortune taught
me the shallowness of his affection, that
wavered when his love could not bring
him wealth. My love for him died effec
tually, and though only a few days since
I received a letter from him fall of pas
sionate protestations of affeotion, it awoke
no answeriug chord in my heart. But the
blight cast on my heart’s first great hope
has made me skeptical, and though I en
tertain for you a high respect and feeling
‘akin to love,’I cannot trust to its becom
ing an enduring affection. Time and ab
sence iu the tost to which I will subject it,
and if in a year from to-day yon still love
me, you can return and receive my an«
swer.”
“Oh, thanks for that much assurance of
yonr love, and though banishment from
your presence is death, I oan live on hope,
and Jacob never worked with more zeal
for his llachel than 1 will work for yon,
my beautiful one."
“The bouquet is finished, and twilight
is deepening into darkness, and I fear
mother will need me, so I will dismiss yon
for one year—remember."
“Yes, I remember too well, and though
it is hard, I will obey you, trusting then
to claim yon as my own ‘till death do ns
part. ’ ”
She aroso, gave him her hand, whioh he
pressed fervently, and was gone, with the
prohibition not to visit her again for the
space of one year.

CHAPTER IV.
Love thee?—so well, so tenderly
Thou’rt loved, udornod by me,
Kamo, fortune, wealth, and liberty
Woru worthless without thee.—Moore.
Months passed with tho rapidity with
whioh time ever flies with those who im
prove the golden hours, and spring has
again revisited the earth. The little cot
tage, with its vine-wreathed porch, though
not remarkable for architectural beauty,
looks very neat and tasteful with its beds
of well cultivated flowers in front, and
smooth serpentine walks.
Estelle, clad in a neat white dress, and
dainty apron, is gathering flowers for a
bouquet, and a lovely picture she pre
sents, as the declining sun casts its reflec
tion over her golden hair, lighting it up
with a halo of glory that gives an expres
sion of ethereal beauty to the pure, patient
face. The last year, with its trials, has
left its impress on her face. Tho buoy
ant, hopeful, joyous expression has chang
ed to a gentle, patient look, showing plain
ly the recent struggles through which she
has passed. Hor basket is full, and she
has just stoopod to gather ono more choice
white bud, when, on looking up, she en
countered the admiring gaze of Mr. Has
tings, who had come up unobserved.
“Good evening, Miss Estelle. This is
a sight worthy of an artist’s pencil—the
basket teeming with its rich variety of
choice blossoms, and the fair, little nymph,
who is preparing to wreathe them into ar-
tiatio shapes; I scarcely know which to ad
mire most, the flowers or tho maiden, but
think I shall award the prize to tho living,
breathing, animated being, whose beanty
appeals directly to the heart, taking it
captive instantly.”
“Yon are an adept in the art of flattery,
and oertainly most have studied it as you
have your musty, old law books, for you
excel in both. To show iny appreciation
of the compliment, I will make you a
present of the bouqnet, when finished, to
carry homo and immure in the poisonous
atmosphere of your bachelor apartments,
which I dare believe you have not this
day opened for the pure atmosphere of
this beautifnl spring day to pervade. I
can imagine you sitting in state in one of
those dark rooms, looking “grand, gloomy,
The summer months have fled, and au
tumn, with its guidon harvest of falling
leaves has come. Tho fashionable oity of
Augusta was preparing to begin its gay win
ter festivities. Tho aristocratic Mrs. Gra
ham and her two fashionable daughters
were preparing to open the season with a
large fall party, by which they hoped to
secure an alliance between Clifford and
the heiress and reigning belle, Miss Julia
Harcourt.
Clifford Graham had made many at
tempts to see Estelle, and reinstate him-
Holf in her affection, but she always re
fused to see him, and failing in his efforts
to get an interview, he wrote her a pas
sionate appeal to marry him, saying that
he could not live without her, and was
willing to give up wealth, position, every
thing for her suko. She replied kindly,
but firmly, assuring him that she had
ceased to love him, and would not marry
him under any circumstances. Like tho
delectable grapes, she appeared to him all
the sweeter because she was unattainable,
and failing in all his attemps to win her,
he plunged rooklessly into dissipation.
His mother becoming uneasy, exhorted
him daily to many, hoping by that means
to nrrost him in tho downward tide of dis
sipation. At last, losing all hope of win
ning Estelle, be consented; and the fair
damsol being already selocted—for her
wealth, not her intrinsic worth—all he had
to do was to play the agreeable, which he
understood to perfection, and win hor con**
sent to marry him.
Tho evening of the party came. The
guests had all arrived, and were prome
nading tbo brilliantly lighted rooms or
silting in groups conversing. It was get
ting late iu tho evening, and many won
dered where Clifford Graham could bo,
At last, looking restless and excited, he
made his appearance, and going immedi
ately to Miss Harcourt, offered his arm for
a promenade, which was accepted, and
leading her to a retired place, the destiny
of that fair girl was dooided. Sho could
not know that ho had wandered for hoars
near the little, unpretentious home of an
other, trying in vain to get one glimpse
of the one face so dear, or perchance a
word that would alter his determination
in regard to herself, and at last, in desper
ation, returned home and made her an of
fer of his hand. Tho trembling “yes" that
proceded from hor lips made her, all un
conscious, the promised, unloved bride of
ono who was then in despair, because be
loved another. But throwing the mantle
of silence over tboir future, we will leave
them to work out their own sad destiny.
The same day that decided the future of
Clifford Graham and Julia Hereout, Es
telle sat beside the bedside of her sick
mother. It is tho same face, with its high,
pure brow shaded by the golden hair, and
yet not tho Rame, for that brow is corru
gated with pain, and there is a restless,
perturbed light in the eyes, as if some
great mental agony is pressing the heart
porting herself and invalid mother, the
worthless character of hor lover, and now
that mother that sho has gnardod so ten
derly from every rough wind, lest it should
destroy that precious health aud bring
about this very contingency that sho so
much dreaded. Hope died in her heart,
and it arose in rebellion against the “Di
vinity that shaped her destiny,’’trying her
so severly in the ordoal of affliction. The
blaokness of darkness seemed reigning
over her, and she longed to bo sleeping
tho peaceful, uuendiug sleep of death, be-
sido her dear father, whore sho believed
her mother would soon be. She wanted
rest—rest for the poor, tired framo that
ached so fearfully from tho physical strain
to which it had been subjected the last
few months—rest for the tortured mind
that had endured such a multiplicity of
sorrows. Oh, for Lethe’s fabled stream
of forgetfulness, in which to bathe and be
at rest. But now when despair held her in
its vice-like grasp, the love and sympathy
of a few siucero friends oome stealing o’er
her memory like a holy thrill, touching
and softening the heart, and bowing her
head she prayed long and earnestly for
strength to endure patiently her many tri
als. Oh, the holy, soothing influence of
prayer; “’tis the life-breath of the soul,"
softening into repentance tho sorrowing
heart, and makiug it “gush forth in a
plentitudo of hopo.’’
When Dr. Bardwell arrived, a short timo
afterwards, she was calm and collected,
the face bearing no evidenoo of the waves
of despair that had Bwept so resistlessly
over her, but a gentle, holy light shown
in her large eyeB, giving an expression of
ethereal beanty to the thin, pale faco.
The doctor warmly grasped her hand,
and scrutinizing her face, he said, “Look
here, my dear girl, this will never do. I
declare you look almost as ethereal as an
angel, minus tho wings, and I am really
afraid you will float off before my eyes,
without my having the power to grasp
you. You must trust yonr mother to tho
oare of Minnie and my wife, who will be
hero in a short time, aud allow yourself
some rest, or you will soon bo beyond the
power to nurse her at all."
“Yes, do, dear Estelle," said Minnie,
coming forward and plaoing an arm around
her, “take some repose. You have not
slept an hour since your mother was taken
sick, three days since. I will not leave
yon again until sho recovers, and now yon
most let me take a sister’s place and share
in the nursing, domestic work, and every
thing yon do."
“You have indeed been a sister to me,
dear Minnie; and, oh, how muoh I prize
yonr affection, no one can ever know, un
less similarly situated. If you, Dootor,
will only assure me that mother will re
cover from this death-like trance, and be
well once more, I could sleep swoetly on
the blest assurance."
“I do not know what change may take
place in future, but, judging from tho
present, I believe sho will; so take your
self off to sleep, and if any change takes
place for the worse, which I do not now
anticipate, there will bo competent nurses
to inform you."
“Thanks for tho little hopo yon have
given me, and now I will obey you, hav
ing implicit faith in your ability as a phy
sician, and Minnie as a nurse.’’
In the morning there was a change for
the better in the sufferer, the marble-like
paleness had left the thin face; tho light
of reason had returned to tho eyes, and
there was ground for hopo that she would
recover.
Mrs. Bardwell returned home, but Min
nie stated her resolution to remain until
Mrs. Dumas was sufficiently improved to
be removed, and she intended taking her
and Estelle homo with her. Sho overruled
all Estell’s objections by assuring hor the
change was necessary to the establishment
of her mother’s health. For the next few
days she made herself solo mistress of the
little establishment, doing most of the
work, nursing Mrs. Dumas, and foreing
Estello to rest. She saw and dismissed
most of the music scholars for two months
rest, paid tho rent of the eottAgo that wus
due, packed up a supply of clothiug, and
made herself geuerully useful.
Dootor Bardwell considered tho patient
sufficiently recovered for reinovul in an
other week, and highly commending Min
nie for her spirit of determination, after
closing up the house, assisted them all in
to a close carriage, and they wore soon
conveyed to Minnie’s house.

grew into a strong affeotion.
The two months of their stay at Mr. SSStf-ifthra*
Csrleton’s passed rapidly, and returning
again to their borne, Estelle returned to
her duties. Her former scholars returned,
end she continued giving them instruc
tion in musio, reaping the reward of her
industry in their warm affeotion and quick
advancement in muoio.
The day on whioh Albert Hostings is to
receive his answer from Estelle has arriv
ed. All day there is a restlessness in her
manner that indicates suppressed exoite-
uicnt, and many times has she received a
smiling reproval from her mother, for
doing her work all wrong.
Tho day has passed, and night has
thrown over the earth Its sombre mantle.
Myriads of Btsrs are peeping forth from
the blue canopy of heaven, while the
moon, surrounded by embankments of
fleecy olouds, is just making its appear-
anoo in the east, shedding its psle ra
diance over the oity. Estelle was sitting
at the piano, trying, by playing solemn
tunes, to qnell the tumultuous throbbings

and stood beside her. Bhe arose to re
ceive him, while the rich blood mantled
her cheek, making her appear radiantly
beautiful to tho one who was to reoeive
his doom from her lipb.
“My probation is ended, and I have
oome for my answer. Shall it be happi
ness or misery, love or banishment?
Spesk, I am awaiting to hear my fate.”
He stood with folded arum, looking into
hor down cost face. With a holy trusting
love-light in her glorious eyes, she raised
them to his faoe, and for answer placed
her hand in his. He had won. the reward
of unwavering constancy—devotion.
In a few days, for he would submit to
no delay, there was a quiet wedding, in

the house tears so dimmed their eyes that
they could with difficulty see the form of
Mr. Garleton ns ho came forward and
warmly welcomed them. He was a grand
specimen of tho fine Old Virginia gentle
man—his native State—kind aud hospita
ble. With such a pleasant host, amid
scenes congenial, Mrs. Dumas improved
rapidly, and soon regained her former
health. Iu Estelle too was a visible
change. Free frdm all care aud respon
sibility, the old, joyous light returned to
her eyes. Her form rounded, and hor
cheeks became tinged with the rosy bloom
of health. Happiness is such a great
beautifyor.
Albert Hastings was an esteemed friend
of Minnie Carleton and her father, and as
Estelle could not prohibit his visiting
them, she met him daily during hor stay.
He did not seek her, or speak ono word
of love, but tho happiness of again being
with her was expressed iu his face and
manner.
Often during tho past few months bou
quets, sometimes accompanied by a box
of confectioneries or basket of fruit, would

Malleable Brass.—An alloy may be
prepared as follows, whioh resembles red
brass in color, and whioh mav be hammer
ed into any shape when first prepared
while warm, without splitting or oraoking,
but which when rapidly cooled, and agaiu
heated to redness, is brittle under the
hammer, but recovers its malleability if
gradually cooled. First fuse 33 parts of
copper in a loosely covered crucible, then
add 25 parts of Silesian zinc, purified by
sulphur; mix thoroughly by stirring, and
pour into sand molds.
A Fast and Easily Prepared Black.
Place the cleaned and washed goods over
night in a cold bath of pounds of sul
phate of iron for ponds of half-wool
goods; drain them off well from this and
work a quarter of au hour in a fresh bath
with two ounces of chromate of potash,
ami rinse well in running water. Then
boil for somo time, until the bath is spent,
iu a kettle in which half a pound of sumac
and two pounds of logwood have been
boiled in a bag, removing the bag if the
room is needed, and rinse well on remov
al from this. A brownish (overdyed) shade
may bo imparted by passing the goods
through weak sumac and sulphate of iron.
Protection of Lead Water-Pipes by a
Film of Sulphide.—As a result of the
following experiments Willm announces
that a film of sulphate of lead forma an
excellent protection for the metal against
tho action of water. Lead pipes were
coated internally with sulphide, according
to the method of Dr. Schwarz, by the ac
tion of a solution of sulphide of sodium,
and were subjected at the same time with
others not so treated, to the action of
rain, snow, distilled, and ordinary Paris
city water. After the first day, lead was
detected in all cases in the water fronythe
ordinary pipes, except in the oity water,
and in it also after several dayB. On the
other hand, in no case did the water from
the pipes treated with sulphide afford a
trace of lead within three months, and
with access of air.
Preparation of Photographic Trac
ing Paper.—A paper sensitive to light,
brought into the market by Talbot of Ber
lin, under she name of “Lichtpauspapier,”
by means of which any one unskilled in
photography may copy plans, maps, Ac.,
with little trouble, may be perfectly imi
tated, by floating good strong albumen-
ized—or arrow-root—paper, for about a
minute, on a bath composed of water 32
parts, nitrate of silver three parts, citrio
acid ono port, and tartario acid half a
part, then drying it, and fically drawing
it Hlowly through a weak solution of tar
tario acid. It will keep at least three
months, if protected from the light and
moisture, and does not require fuming
with ammonia. Toning, which is in most
cases superfluous, requiros a very strong
and alkaline bath.
Dry Cleaning with Turpentine and
its Purification.—Articles to be cleaned,
except those of silk, velvet, plush, Ac.
are rubbed ou a sharp, tinned washboard
five to eight minutes m turpentine of the
finest quality, in a tin-lined wooden ves
sel, and after being placed iu a centrifu
gal machine, and then hung up for two
hours in a drying-room at 133 degrees,
they will be odorless and clean. For silk,
velvet, plush, Ac., Venetian turpentine
is applied by gently robbing spots of
paint, tar, Ac., with a good sponge or
woolon rag. Turpentine that has become
turbid by nse may be purified by atirriiq
it well with 1-lGOth its volume of oil o:
vitriol, and allowing it to settle overnight,
and then, as a precautionary measure, Al
tering it through a felt bag. A beautiful
bluish tint can be imparted to pure white
goods by tinting tbo benzine employed,
by adding to it somo benzine which has
been colored by steeping in it a piece of
cotton colored with aniline-blue.
