NEW ADVERTISEMENTS 
the lazy servant?, than ii bail been since Alfred's 
recollection. 
The friends came, and were duly installed in the 
hospitable quarters assigned Them. They did de¬ 
mur to the arrangement, at first, pleased though 
they undoubtedly were by so generous an Offer; 
but Alfred's repeated assurance that, be should 
be the gainer, and not they, and Bjolf’s private 
assurances of like nature, induced them to concur 
in it. From the moment the idea suggested itself 
to the young inau, he had earnestly desired its ful¬ 
fillment. It would give him something to think 
of each day ; as his friend had said, and in perhaps 
a deeper sense than that friend knew, it wou.d do 
him good. 
After they came, he did not regret it. To min¬ 
ister to their daily pleasure was for him a definite 
purpose, and a definite purpose was what he needed. 
Then the presence of the young girl allayed some 
memories that he knew should be forever put aside, 
by calling up others that were very pleasant indeed, 
and which he did no wrong to entertain. For 
awhile he was little more than hospitably polite 
and attentive; but days of almost constant inter¬ 
course brought back something of the well-nigh 
tender sympathy between them which had made 
the hours of lotos-eating so delightful, and they 
had their long twilight (cte-a-tetes, and quiet walks 
and drives, and at times he fancied his sedt-strug- 
gle was nearly over,—that he was the victor. 
The young girl was not less beautiful than when 
he first met her,—scarcely less vivacious. A little 
thinner, a trifle whiter skinned, a shade more ethe¬ 
real iu appearance, she surely was, and at intervals 
somewhat saddened in manner, as though a fore¬ 
boding of her fate took hold upon her. Her cough 
was not bad, as yet, and as it grew no worse, ap¬ 
parently, and her physical forces were to all out¬ 
ward seeming still well preserved, they all cherished 
high hopes that the future would prove better to 
them than their fears.

PHAM’S DEPILATORY POWDER 
Removes superfluous hair from any part ol' the body in

“ Forgive me, mother,” the girl pleaded. “ I for¬ 
got for the moment how painful any allusion to his 
loss always is to you. I will be more careful in the 
future. Kiss me good night, now, and I will retire.” 
Mrs. Range pressed her closely to her heart for 
a moment, and without further remark allowed her 
to pass to her own room. Then in a hesitating, 
questioning manner, the mother Beated hersetf 
ouce more, and remained wrapt in thought hour 
after hour, 6eemiug to make no note of time. Her 
face was a study, during that long vigil. At the 
first it was full of doubt, as though she was weigh¬ 
ing some important question, and ^lt uncertain 
which way to decide; then the doubt gave place to 
a resolute determination that hardened every linea¬ 
ment, and lent an additional aspect of pain and sad¬ 
ness to all. And this was Succeeded by another 
overrunning of uncertainty which lasted longer than 
the former, and was followed in turn by a fixed ex¬ 
pression, softer and more pleasing than the first, 
which showed that a decision was made, and such 
au one as held the best hope of happiness within it. 
Next (lay Mrs. Range bad a long talk alone with 
Judge Grayson, with whom she desired a confer¬ 
ence. She came forth from it with less of sadness 
in her countenance than he had seen there in many 
a year; and the Judge questioned meditatively to 
himself — " Does woman’s patience always bring its 
reward, after many days ? ” 
Throughout the autumn weeks that followed, 
Alfred strove, with all his endeavors, to forget

CHAPTER SEVENTEENTH. 
Alfred did Dot soon inform his friends of the 
change in his known identity. To do this without 
wounding his pride was impossible, and he shrank 
from it. Sometimes he was inclined to keep his 
history an entire secret from the world at large, 
that there might be no curious questioning; and 
so he stated to Mr. Brief. 
“No, no, hoy,” was that gentleman's protest; 
“that would not be wise. You need a father. The 
one you have found is not to he ashamed of,— nor 
the sister. Don’t he over-sensitive. Those who 
care anything for you will he glad to learn that you 
are not friendless, and the idle gossip of a few 
strangers or passing acquaintances ought not to 
trouble you at all. Let your guests know your 
true identity, by all means.” 
He shook his head ruefully, when this advice was 
given, but thought better of it a few days after. 
Brief was right, as usual; and he was foolishly sen¬ 
sitive ; and he would be so no longer. Such was his 
conclusion. 
That afternoon he sat alone with Berdena Range 
in the inviting buy window, while her mother was 
enjoying a siesta above. He told her the whole 
story, then,— told it with averted face, and did not 
see the look of loving sympathy and interest the 
youDg girl’s countenance wore,—told it all, except 
the passion he had been compelled to smother be¬ 
cause of finding a sister. Of that he said nothing. 
It was the uppermost thought throughout the latter 
part of his narrative, aud as the image of Mabel 
came before his mind he momentarily felt the pas¬ 
sion burn up again in all its fervid heat; but as he 
concluded, aud looked to the lovely being at his 
6ide, his heart gave a quick pang, as of protest 
against this enforced silence, and regrets for tbe 
past faded away. 
And when Berdena shaped her girlish inquiries 
about the new-found sister, he answered them with¬ 
out embarrassment, putting no more than brotherly 
enthusiasm and regard into his descriptions of her 
beanty, her characteristics, and her tastes. 
“ What a darling sister she must be! ” the fair 
girl exclaimed, when he finished. “And she is 
coming here, you say, and I shall know her?” 
“Yes; and you will love each other very dearly, 
I am certain.” 
How could they help it? —he thought, feeling 
that for him to love them both was the easiest 
thing in the world. 
That evening, when guests and host had sepa¬ 
rated for the night, Berdena sat at her mother’s 
feet and repeated the history imparted to her a few 
hours previous. Her face was hidden in her moth¬ 
er’s lap, and she could not, therefore, see the 
changes that came over the sad leoking counte¬ 
nance, at the unfolding of Alfred’s story,—the 
hard, stony look, the death-like pallor, the close 
shutting of the mouth as though some powerful 
effort of the will was being exerted to overcome a 
weakness. She felt the hand within hers tremble, 
as she continued, but did not think as this indi¬ 
cated more than natural interest iu the narration; 
nor did she wonder that through it all her mother 
never once interrupted her. Still less did her 
mother’s minute inquiries when she had concluded, 
in regard to Dr. Willoughby’s explanatory state¬ 
ments on receiving his son, excite in her mind any 
surprise. It seemed not strange that a desire to 
learn all the details of the denouement, should he 
manifest; and she gave these as fully as she knew 
them, adding, finally, a word or two of comment. 
“How much unhappiness Dr. Willoughby’s first 
marriage must have caused him, mother ! He was 
hardly to be blamed lor leaving one so wholly un¬ 
congenial.” 
“He had great provocation, to be sure,” Mrs. 
Range responded. “It may be greater than we 
know. Alfred would be excusable for withhold¬ 
ing the worst part of hi6 mother’s revelation.” 
Her voice was sadder even than it was wont to be, 
yet the young girl failed to notice it. 
“His second wife died very early, it seems,” she 
continued. “How much trouble he must have 
had! Alfred says it has made him look much 
older than he really is.” 
“ Trouble ages one fast,” the mother replied, 
wearily, while just a shade of pain crossed her face. 
“It never could age you,” was the answer, as the 
fair daughter rose and lovingly embraced her. 
“You are never to grow old.” 
Involuntarily Mrs. Range arose and stepped to 
the mirror, It was not an aged face truly, that she 
saw there. It could never have been one strictly 
handsome; but it had the rare beauty of wearing 
well. But for the expression of patient sadness 
which it habitually wore, aud the few silver threads 
which decked her hair, she would not have been 
deemed past the second season of youth. 
“ What a winning face you must have had when 
you were a girl! ” the daughter said, fondly, as she 
twiued her arm about her mother’s form. “How 
father must have loved you! ” 
“I think he did.” 
The close-shut lips compressed still more firmly, 
WILLOUGHBY HALL 
[Continned from page 388, last number.] 
CHAPTER SIXTEENTH. 
Alfred Willoughby’s position was a peculiar 
one. To such as lie,—a temperament glowing with 
the heat of poetic fire, ardent, impulsive, and deeply 
sensitive, withal,—the pleasant fancies of the. heart 
come often, but the strong, intense passion comes 
but once. And that, when it does corne, comes 
suddenly, like a full surprise, and oltencst mani¬ 
fests itself when the object is passing out of reach. 
So it had come to him. In those hours that un¬ 
raveled to him a history, when the fair-huired Mabel 
seemed coming very near, as a sister, and going iar 
away, after all,—so far he could never cross the 
distance between them,—his passion had wakened 
as from a long sleep. 
It wonld not soon be lulled to slumber again. 
He acknowledged this to himself many times, in 
those days ol passage to his Southern home. That 
sister kiss at parting thrilled him yet. The clasp 
of her little hand clung to his, aud he could not 
shake it rudely off. He mentally queried, often, 
if he had acted wisely, after all, in arranging to 
have her near him so soon,—if it had not been 
better to allow absence some part in this work of 
taming down his regard. The work must he ac¬ 
complished; he knew that. Not once did he thiuk 
of foregoing it. And could he accomplish it in her 
immediate presence? Could he re-clothe the mem¬ 
ories of those happy hours at the quaint old Hall in 
habiliments that would render them always proper 
guests iu his heart? 
His manner was a puzzle to Harry Brief, all 
the way home. At times he appeared more pre¬ 
occupied than usual; and from this extreme of 
abstraction he passed to that of a wild gaiety alto¬ 
gether unusual with him. If Brief divined the 
cause, he did not make it manifest. He did not 
speak often of the new relations the young man 
bad found. Rightly judging that a subject which 
must possess some sensitive features, he chose to 
lead thought away from it whenever he could. In 
his bluff way he criticised the appearance and 
idiosyncrasies of people they met, laughed at com¬ 
icalities which presented themselves, and pointed 
out the ludicrous and absurd wherever he detected 
their existence. 
A week or two after their return to New Orleans, 
he entered Alfred's library, where we first saw 
him. Not this time on business; for though he 
still acted as the young man’s legal and business 
agent, the estate had been formally transferred, and 
there was no occasion at present for consultation 
in regard to it 
“ Well, Alfred, I’ve received a letter from Judge 
Grayson,” was his first announcement. 
“Ah, indeed! How are they all?” 
“Miss Berdena, especially, why don’t you say, 
boy?” was the rejoinder, with a light laugh, and 
& searching look into Alfred’s face. He bore tbe 
scrutiny well, and in reply echoed,— 
“Miss Berdena, especially, then?” 
Brief grew grave suddenly. 
“She isn’t as well,” he answered. “She seemed 
quite improved for a short time after they returned 
to Ohio, the Judge writes, but begins to cough 
again, and the physicians advise a milder climate. 
They are coming to New Orleans iu a week.” 
“Are they?” He asked the question with a lan¬ 
guid indifference that surprised his companion. 
Such would not have heen the case a month or 
two previous. It might have been otherwise even 
yesterday. To-day he was in one of his careless 
moods, when the passion he must quell had arisen 
in its strength and defied him, and nothing ibat 
came to him was a joy because of the battle he 
was waging with himself. 
“Yes,” again with a searching glance into his 
face, “and I am desired to engage rooms for them 
at the St. Charles. Will you go around with me 
now for that purpose?” 
He assented, and they went out upon the street 
Half way to the hotel Alfred stopped. The out¬ 
side air had exercised a beneficial influence upon 
his brain, A new train of thought had replaced 
his indifferent moodiness. 
“It strikes me this is wholly unnecessary, Mr. 
Brief,” he said, abruptly. “I want company in 
the old house; why not tender them my hospi¬ 
tality?” 
“Just what I wanted to suggest, but hesitated 
to,” said the lawyer. “ You’re making a recluse of 
yourself; and to entertain them will do you good, 
I do not think they will object,—in fact, will answer 
for it that they will be pleased with the arrange¬ 
ment” 
“ Let us go back, then.” 
, And. return they did, and Dinah had orders to 
prepare rooms for expected guests; and made the 
place busier with her orders to, and scoldings of, 
“It is a shame, husband, that I have to sit here mend- 
inL’ your old clothes.’’ Don’t say a word about it, 
wife; the least said the sootiest mended." 
“Am 1 not a little palei” inquired a lady who was 
short and corpulent, ot a crusty old bachelor. “You 
look more like a big tubwas the blunt reply. 
An Illinois editoi. speaking of a lOgue who lived in 
liis vicinity, says:—“Tbe rascal has broke every bank, 
jail and Sabbath we have had in this country for the last 
live years." 
A German wrote an obituary on the death ol' his wife, 
in widen be said: —“If mine wife had lived until next 
Friday, she would huve been dead shust nvo weeks. As 
the tree falls so must it stand.” 
A lady asked a noted doctor if he did not think the 
small bonnets whieh the ladies wore had a tendeney to 
produce congestion ot the brain. “Oh, no,” be replied, 
“ladies that have brains don’t wear them." 
A lady asked hei little girl, on returning from church, 
if she remembered the text. “Oh, yes,” said she, “it is 
this —‘The ladies' sewing society will meet at Mrs. Mc¬ 
Cracken's house on Monday evening next.’” 
A clock having 6tnick tbe hour of one, a tender-heart¬ 
ed woman exclaimed: —"Oh I what a cruel clock!” 
•' Why sof” asked a friend. *• Because it struck its little 
one I" answered the tender hearted mother. 
Booth, the tragedian, had a broken nuse. A lady once

thrilled him before the one strong passion came. 
There were times, indeed, when the affection de¬ 
ceived him into belilving it enough for a life-time, 
and when, had she loot heen his guest, he would 
have earnestly souf jit her heart and hand. 
It was only two ays befoie Christmas, and he 
had received word toat his father and sister would 
arrive next day. They were all in the large parlor,— 
the Judge, Habrt Brief, Mrs. Range and Ber¬ 
dena, and had been having music and mirth for 
hours. Alfred having finished one of his dreamy 
improvisations npon his fascinating flute, drew the 
young girl aside into the bay window. He had 
made up his mind to infringe upon etiquette aud 
ask her, then and there, to grant him that love which 
he sometimes hoped she bore him. 
“You will pardon me, I trust,” he began, as he 
took her hand in his. 
She looked up wonderingly, then dropped her 
eyelids, and stood before him, her pale cheeks dyed 
to carnation. He had not heard the rumble of car¬ 
riage wheels outside, aud was about to proceed 
when a servant appeared and announced — 
“Dr. and Miss Willoughby!” 
He dropped BERDEXA’shand, and had scarcely op¬ 
portunity to note, ns lie stepped without the alcove, 
that, her mother had risen from her seat and stood 
back in Ihe shadow of a curtain, trembling and ex¬ 
pectant, and that Judge Grayson was regarding her 
anxiously, when his father and Mabel entered.—

“Coleridge,” says Du Quincy, “told me of a 
ludicrous embarrassment which Lamb’s stammering 
caused him at Hastings. Lamb tad heen medically 
advised to a course of sea bathing: and accordingly, 
at the door of his bathing machine, while lie stood 
shivering with cold, two stout fellows laid hold of 
iiim ) one at each shoulder, like heraldic supporters; 
they waited for the word of commaud from their 
principal, who began the following oration to them : 
_“Hear me, men! Take notice of this; I am to be 
dipped-” 
What more he would have said is unknown to laud 
or sea bathing machines; for, having reached the 
word dipped, he commenced such a rolling fire of 
di—qi—di—di, that when at length he descended a- 
plomb upon the full word dipped, the two men, 
rather tired of the long suspense, became satisfied 
that they had reached what lawyers call the “ opera¬ 
tive” clause of the sentence, and both exclaimed at 
once, “ O, yes, we are quite aware of that,” and down 
ihey plunged him into the sea. 
On emerging, Lamb sobbed so much from the cold 
that he found no voice suitable to his indignation; 
from necessity he was tranquil; and again address¬ 
ing the men, who stood respectfully listening, he 
began thus:—“Men, is it possible to obtain your 
attention ?” “ 0, surely sir, by all means.” “Then 
listen:—Once more I tell you, I am to he di—di— 
di” and then with a burst of indignation, “dipped 
I tell you.” “0, decidedly, sir.” And down the 
stammerer went for the second time,; 
Petrified with cold and wrath, once more Lamb 
made a feeble attempt to explain. “ Grant me pa¬ 
pa—lienee; is it mum—um—murder you me—me— 
mean? Again and a— ga—ga—gain, I tell you, I’m 
to be di—di—di—dipped—'” now speaking furiously 
with the voice of an injured man. “0, yes, sir,” 
the men replied, “we know that—we fully under¬ 
stand it,” and for the third time, down went Lamb 
into the sea. 
“ 0, limbs of Satan !” he said, on coming up lor 
the third time, “ it’s now too late. I tell you that I 
am—no, that I was to be di—di-dipped only once.”
