I had been for a moment admitted within the precincts of a secluded and mysterious presence, and now that I was driven thence. the world appeared to me blank and worthless, I was engrossed by the thought of Mrs Fremaine, whose exquisite beauty was only surpassed by her extraordinary conversation, and my mind dwelt rpetually upon the anticipation of seeing er again. But! was soon afterealled away from England, and did not return for several years. Directly I re-trod my native shores. I made my way to the elm-encircled house where I had met Mrs. Fremaine.

No one came to disturb my solitude, so I presently passed through the French win- dow, and roamed musingly through the shrubberies where I had walked with Mrs Fremaine, till I found myself at last at a stile leading into the churchyard.

A veiled pic- tureâ€"a. narrow graveâ€"had dimmed my sexjepity an‘d unyagnedjpy fortitgdef After a time I loitered back to the house, where I found my hostess seated by the autumnal fire. It was not very long before I adverted to the shock I had sustained in the churchyard. A shadow fell across her face as she replied: “ It is a sad story. Melicent was the sweetest creature I ever knew, and the noblest. She had suffered deeply. She conquered her grief, but it left an indelible trace upon her. As far as I know, Mr. Fremaine was a perfectly good husband, but it was not given to her to be happy. I believe she was fond of her husband, and he idolized her, but she had no child, and this disappointed him greatly. He is a large proprietor, and coveted a direct heir. Last year it was hoped that one might be granted. Every one was pleased, and Melicent was delighted. But after all, when the babe was born, it was a girl. It was an immense disappointment to Mr. Fremaine, and Melicent never recov- ered. She died about six months after- wards. He had brought her here for change, not dreaming her and was near. But her spirit was broken. She passed away, and he left her lying here, as you saw. They say he mourns inexpressibly for her, but that her brother is inconsol- able, even by his young wife and his beau- tiful little son, who will probably now inherit the bulk of Mr. Fremaiue’s estates and fortune. Some day I will tell you the whole story as far as I have been able to glean it. To me it is very painful, but to you it may be interesting, for you did not love her." . In the middle of the remote and old- fashioned town of Delysford there stands an ancient house called the Retreat. It lies between the two principal quarters of the townâ€"the sleepy little High street, where such business as Delysfcrd main- tains is indolently transacted, and the prim and aristocratic Green, where the dignity of countless ages seems to reposeâ€" and connects the two by a public thorough- fare running through its midst, and into which, on either hand, its front and back doors open. This narrow communication is called Page’s Passage, probably from the fact that it originally presented, to the pages of Du Lys House. a short-cut from that stately mansion upon the Green to the booths and markets of the-town. The necessity which impelled this extraordinary construction has long since perished. Pages no longer rush from Du Lys House to despatch some secret errand. or emerge thence, trim and alert, to snateh a brief recreation in the fair. Du Lys House has long ceased to be the residence of the descendants of the Sieur Rene Du Lys, who received from William the Conqueror large tracts of land well watered by the river May,and who eventually gave hisname to the town which soon sprang up in the vicinity of his baronial residence. The Du Lyses have long ago retired to a. humbler residence, but Page’s Passage still leads the pedes- trian through the heart of their Retreat, whose parlors embrace it on either side, and whose upper chambers form its roof. Part of Du Lys House has degenerated into the Du Lys Arms, and the remain- der has been subdivided into small pri- vate tenements. But no Du Lys has ever attempted to dispossess his fellowvtowns- men of their right of way through his dwelling. The inhabitants of Delysford are mostly quiet, stay-at-hbme people, whose wealth does not exceed their Wit, nor their wit their Wanderings ; Whose health is generally abundant, but whose enterprise is usually dormant. Their families have dwelt at Delysford from time immemorlal; they have all intermarried, and most of them bear names of French origin. Strangers have not often settled in this man-forgot- ten spot; the surnames on the tombstones in the churchyard by the May recur over and over again. But the place is favored by Heaven. The prayer of Agur has been granted to it. Nature has fed Delyeford with food convenient for it, and she has given it neither poverty nor riches. If the Delysfordians cannot afford to travel on the Continent, or mingle in the gayeties of London, they never lack new raiment from Mr. Vevay the draper, and Mr. Lunnell the tailor, nor in vain desire a copy of the Delysfo'rd Gazette, which appears every Saturday, and is almost the sole organ from which Delysford derives its notions both of trifling and momentous affairs. Always clever, invariably handsome, and never falling to marry into distant fami- lies where talent and beauty were likewise inherent, the Du Lyses had preserved great pride and pomp for many generations, until a succession of disasters, beginning in the Civil War, augmented by the licen- tious extravagance of the restored Court, and culminating in the fatal enterprise of 1715 and 1745, impoverished them so greatly that at last the then head of the familyâ€"driven to bay, with the wolf and the creditors alike at his doorâ€"~made up his mind to sell the entirety of his fine estates. They were immediately purchased by a Delysford gentleman who claimed as long a descent as himself, and whose name was Fremaine. But if the pedigree of the latter was long, his origin was obscure and his antecedents ignoble. The progenitor of his race had come over in 1066 as the Sieur Du Lys’s barber. Delysford is perfectly and childishly happy. Possessed of no ambition, it knows no disappointment. Devoid almost to a man of any vicious propensities, still less of any criminal tendencies, it knows no fear. Innocent and Joyous. its life glides smoothly on, excited by no subtle pleasures, torn by no acute pains. An occasional case of insanity is its one bugbear. But in- sanity is of God’s sending, and whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth. So the Delys- fordians bear their cross, when it comes, without repining. They live piously, and their ways are ways of pleasantness and peace, headless of the advance of science, with its steam-engines, its telegrams, its restless and infectious activity. Once it was proposed to the Delysfordians to bring a railway to their doors. But they rejected the proposition with uuanimous horror. So the world passes by at the distance of nearly a dozen of miles, and wore not of their existence. But they do not care. A few years ago the leading man, of whom Delysford was universally and justly proud,was Rene Du Lye, the descendant andlast representative of the old Norman baron who had taken up his abode in this pleasant spot 'eight centuries before. In René Du Lys and his sister the whole talent and energy of Delysford seemed to be concentrated. The obligations of their birth defended them from the possibility of mediocrity. By virtue of this circum- stance they were raised above the level of their daily associates, and by their integral merits they retained their position. Rene wrote for the press. His sister drew and painted well. Both were readers ; both could converse. To the mind of Delysford, the brother paid amazingly frequent visits to the metropolis. Nevertheless, Rene Du Lys was a poor man. Every inch of the Du Lys property now passed to the family whlch had once been humbly domesticated in the household of the Du Lyses. The unique residence around and above Page’s Passage only remained to the fallen race, and to this they retired, while the Fremaines took up their residence at the beautiful manor which the Du Lyses had erected, in the sixteenth century, a little way out of the town, and which was called Delysmere from the natural lake in its grounds. Thus the two families, of identically long but not identically noble lineage, lived side by side for many years, by no means in amity, and sometimes in open hostility. As son succeeded to father, each Fremaine strove his utmost to obtain possession of the one house which still belonged to the The Story at Flt-11cm“. CHAPTER I. Du Lyaes; and as son succeeded to father, each Du Lys resolutely refused every offer, however brilliant and tempting, to part with his one foothold upon the lands of his forbeurs. Jealous and baffled, the Fremaine who owned the Delysmere estates in the middle of this century at length withdrew from the field, after using every means to per- suade the father of Rene Du Lys to relin- quish his holding in Delysford, and finding that every argument and inducement was futile. For twenty-five years Fremaine ubsented himself from the home of his birth and of his ancestors. It was said that the very name of the place was dis- tasteful to him. True, in many genera- tions both spelling and pronunciation had undergone a change, and the whilom Du Lys Mere had been transformed by fre- quent repetition into the more familiar sounds of Delsford and Delsmere. But the derivation could not be forgotten ; time refused to eliminate the 1, and this was gall and Wormwood to the proud young squire. It was well known that, in the heat of his earlier days, Fremaine had not only done all in his power to wrest the Retreat from Mr. Du Lys, but that he had also used endeavors to obliterate the obnox- ious and unnecessary vowel from the name of his house and his native town. In defi- ance of custom, and with the ardor of tliree-andtwenty, he had caused they to be dropped as far as possible. He had it omitted on his carts and wagons ; he had dated his letters Without it. But the attempt was vain. More than once the answers to his letters miscarried; his vehi ales Were jeered at; and at last a lampoon â€"the composition of a youth who soon afterwards proved himself an exception to the generality of Delysford folk by depart- ing from his native place and making a name for himself elsewhereâ€"appeared in the streets, and ran as follows: The barber's son he could not spell ; Why was he not a scholar ‘2 Cause Whyâ€"we know extremely Well, Why I it provoked his choler! After this Fremaine took flight. Some men might have lived down the affront, but he was not of this sort. Thoroughly disgusted, he turned his back upon Eng- land' and sought solace in mnrriuge. For a quarter of a. century he remained abroad, or, at least, if he had from time to time returned to England, he had never Viblted Delyeford But on a. sudden there was a. change. A certain Christmas brought back life to the solitary mansion of Delys- mere. Fremaine reappeared, bringing With him a. pretty, durk-eycd daughter. He found his tenants and fellow-towns- men glad to welcome him. The affair of she lumpoon was forgotten, or only chuckled over occasionally by the gossips who had been middle-aged men and women when the unseemly joke had been perpetrated. Rene Du Lys had become a. man, and his famher, who had no strenuously opposed Fremuine’u wishes, had long been dead. The aspect of the place was chungefl, end Fremadue himself was outwardly altered. But, notwitnetending his serene exterior, he was still dissatisfied at} heart. The poverty, proverbial in the Du Lye family for three or four generations, and which the haughty and reserved race had not mended by obstinater adheringâ€"for at least a century, from father to sonâ€"to the pursuit of letters as their sole profes- sion, still clung to Rene Du L) 8. Never- theless, by Virtue of his name, he exerted an influence in the place which Fremaine might claim in vain. The two men can fronted each other, with equal talents, equal urbanity, equal beauty. But to the one was added a long tale of goodly ances- torsâ€"titled grandees, crusading barons, mediaeval knights, dignified ecclesiastics, Elizabethan and Caroline gentlemenâ€" while to the other there clung, like a vam- pire, the remembrance of obscure and nameless graves, which yet contained his dead; of vexatiously precise records in old registers, which disclosed that many a Fremaine, barber and chirurgeon, had married the homely J oans and Gillians of the stillroom or the scuilery ; of imperish- able title-deeds which demonstrated only too plainly that the rise of the Fremaine had commenced in the reign of Anne, when the fortunes of their whilom masters were beginning to wane. It was a long enough pedigree, in good sooth, but by the side of the Du Lyses it seemed of mush- room growth. Fremaine still longed to drive the Du Lyses from Delysford, but he was too Wise now to cross lances With his rival. He had rushed away in anger; he came back full of sobriety. He had departed an impetuous youth; he re. turned in the sobriety of mature man- hood. He was resolved to be a worthy lord of the manor, and to extend the right hand of his patronage on every side. His daughter returned all visits, and left cards upon such persons as were too diffident to take the initiative in calling upon her. She was at home once a week from eight in the evening till nearly midnight, and every one who had any pretensions to gentle birth was not only hidden, but expected to appear frequently at her Monday recep- tions. In a few months Fremaine was a popular man. Still, his happiness was imperfect. Like the beauteous queen in the fairy tale, who is ever conscious that a greater beauty than she exists, Fre- maine was quite aware that, hOWever popular he might be, a yet more popular 'man existed. He knew that if a question of fealty were raised, the men and women of Delysford would range themselves on the side of Du Lys. It was never likely that a question of this sort should arise, but it nettled Fremaine to know how the possible case would be settled. He liked Rene Du Lys no better than he had liked his father. His jealousy burned as fiercely as ever. The Retreat was still to him as the vineyard of Naboth to King Ahab. But With the coolness of fifty years he hid these sentiments in his breast, and was outwardly more than commonly cordial to Du Lys. He had, indeed, designed a secret scheme whereby the obstacles in his way might be successfully removed, and, to accomplish this scheme, an absolute concord between Delysmere and the Retreat was essential. For this reason he encour- aged an intimacy between Miss Du Lys and his daughter. and as the two young ladies had a natural affinity for each other, his difficulty on that score was small. Friendly relations were quickly established between the two houses, and Rene Du Lys was soon drawn into an intimacy, to which he was not reluctant. He harbored no enmity towards the man whose progeni- tors had lawfully purchased the estates of the Du Lyses. He had no intention of ever giving up his own holding in the place of his forerunners, nor did he ever mean to quit Delysfurd, for which he had inhe- rited a passionate affection; but he was quite willing to accord all due deference to the owner of Delysmere, to whom he .bore no grudge, and with whom he was anxious to live on good terms. That his sister should have a charming friend pleased him, and that he should take delight in the society of his sister’s friend was not surprising. Neither was it sur- prising that the handsome widower should admire the beautiful Miss Du Lys. But that Fremaine should suffer the semblance of an attachment between his daughter and the man he detested would have been surprising, had any one observed it. Fre- maine’s design, however, ramified accord- ing to circumstances. â€"“ Oh you better talk 1" exclaimed Mrs. Smith to her lord and master, who was joking her upon her “running after him.” “You know you were dead in love wnih me, and it was only because I was afraid you’d sicken and die théflil nook compassion on you.” “ Well,” replied Smith, “it Idid love you so desperately, you cured me, dearest; I711 give you that; credit; but it was the heroickest kind of heroic treat- ment." (To be continued.) From the Aflylum lo the Bosom ol Ills Homeâ€"llow it was Done. A prominent minister residing in Ver- mont has made the following statement, which is herewith reprinted entire : To the Editor of the Herald : I have always shrunk from appearing prominently before the pubhc, but: a. sense of the duty I owe humanity and the world prompts me to ask this opportumty for making a brief statement in your paper. Whether it be true with others I cannot say, but during my entire life I have fre- quently been conscious that something was slowly and silently working to undermine my health and life. \Vhat it was I could not tell, but that some enemy of my being was devouring me within I was certain. At times I would seem comparatively well and then I would be attacked with the most distressing symptoms. I would feel peculiar pains in various parts of my body, my head would seem heavy; my respiration labored ; my appetite would be ravenous one day and I would loathe food the day following. Then again I would lose all interest in life ; would feel weary without exertion; would become sleepy at mid- day and restless at night. Occasionally my breathing would be labored and my heart almost motionless, while at other times it would palpitate violently. I thought these troubles were the result of malaria, and I treated them accordingly, but I got no better. Shortly afterward my stomach became deranged, my food failed to digest, and the fluids I passed were of a peculiar odor and color. And yet 1 did not realize that these things meant anything serious. Finally I consulted a number of eminent physicians, each one of whom took a different view as to the cant-e of my troubles. One said I was suffering from brain disease; another spinal difficulty; others heart affection, kidney disease, etc. My symptoms were terrible, and in the hope of relief I was cauterieed, cupped, blistered and subjected to almost every known form of treatment. During one of these attacks while at Red Bank, N. J., a physician was called, and left a prescription. After he had gone, I requested a friend to go and ask him what he tbOUghli of my trouble. The reply was: " Oh, he will be all right in a few days; it is only an attack of delirium tremens." He was at once informed that this was impossible, as I had never used any kind of intoxicating drinks; whereupon he returned, made inquiries. and changed his prescription. But all the care of my friends and physicians availed nothing. I grew worse constantly, and what was most terrible to think of, I did not know what ailed me, nor could I find any one who did. During the summer and fall of last year my pulse ranged from 120 to 130 per minute ; I had no relish for food, and was indeed a most pitiable object. I continued in this state until last December, when I became unconscious and lost my reason, though I had two physicians in whom myself and friends placed implicit confi- dence. In this condition Iwas taken to Brattlehoro', Vt., for the purpose of being, placed in an insane asylum. I remained there until last April, being attended all the while by my faithful wife, who never left me and believed that some disease and not insanity was the cause} of all my trouble. I regained consciousness in March last and insisted upon being taken home. The physicians advised that I remain, but I insisted upon lesv1ng, and we began the journey, travelling slowly. I was met at the deck by afriend Whom I recognized and then I became again unconscious and remained so for over a week. When 1 once more recognized my friend and knew my surroundings I determined to try, as a last resort, 3. treatment of which I had heard much but knew nothing. Neither myself nor friends had much faith that it or anything could help me, but we resolved to try. We accordingly dismissed the physicians, gave up all other remedies, and I rejoice to say that with the blessing of Him who guided us, I am to-dayawell man ; having not been so vigorous for many years, and I owe it all to the wonderful, almost miraculous power of Warner’s Safe Cure, the remedy which I used. â€"Wha.t the years will bring a man is nothing. How he is to get that coal stove out into the back kitchen is everything. MY DEAR FRIEND,â€"Replying to your letter I would say, I have been acquainted with my highly valued friend, Rev. 8. E. Hopkins, about eighteen months, and veryintimately acquainted for about six months past. For a. little more than five months he was an inmate of my house, and we enjoyed constant intercourse with each other. When he came in April last he was almost a. perfect wreck in point of health. I thought he had come to us but to die. Soon afterwards he began the use of some of H. H. Warner (St 0019 remedies, namely, the Safe Cure, Safe Nervine and Safe Pills. From almost the time he began their nae his improvement was very marked and Wonderful, and when he left us, after having taken some two dozen bottles. he was like a new man. The change was the most remarkable I ever witnessed. SAMUEL MILLER, Pastor of the Presbyterian Church. In View, therefore, of these facts, and with a hope that all who read this may take timely warning, I make this open statement freely and for the good of my fellow men. Sincerely, No less than four Canadian. artists have had pictures accepted for this year’s exhi- bition at the Salon, Paris. The fortunate ones are Miss Richards, eldest daughter of the evaieutenant-Governor of Brltish Co- lumbia, now and for some months back studying at Paris ; Miss Frances J ones and sister, daughters of the Hon. A. J. Jones, sax-Minister of Militia, Halifax, and ' Mr. Paul Peel, of London, Out. All are associ- ates of the Canadian Academy of Arts and all native Canadians. You can well imagine how grateful I must feel under the circumstances, and, like a new convert, I earnestly desire that all who are suffering should knowand avail themselves of this means of recovery. Had it not been for the remedy above named I should doubtless now be within the walls of an asylum or in my grave. The great trouble with my case was that no one seemed to know what I was afflicted with, and I am positive that thousands of people in America tc-day are in the same "or a simllar condition, and do not know its cause. Kidney troubles are the most deceptive of all diseases. They have no symptoms of their own, but often show the symptoms of nearly every known complaint. I know that people are dying every day from supposed consumption. apoplexy, heart disease, spinal complaint, and many other diseases, when, could the real cause be known. it would be found to originate in the kidneys. In their advanced stages kidney troubles are the most terrible of all known maladies, as my own experience can fully verify. That I had Bright‘s disease of the kidneys there can be no doubt. That the symptoms were those of many other diseases is equally certain, and that I was doomed to a terrible death had I not been saved as I was,1am positive.
