Selected Storp — LOANING A LOVER.

My sister Patrieia was an heiress. | Strange enough, for we had always| been terribly poor down at Lowbridge, | my widowed mother bringing up her four daughters with the greatest diificul: } ty; but when brought up,we were worth | looking at, I believe. Healthy habits: and frugal living are apt to make good | constitutions, and Bess and Amy and | Patricia and I were as bright and} handsome girls as are often seen.

born, rosy cheeks, and long, light brown curls; Patricia was a sparkling bru-

Aunt betty wrote from Fairhaven :

‘“ Dear Sister-in-law ; Lam going tO | between the said Township axd Township

do myself the pleasure of visiting you this Summer. I[ hear that Abel left four girls, and I want to see them. I am getting on in years, and will make one of them my heiress,” ete.

Aunt Betty of Fairhaven, was worth a hundred thousand dollars if she was worth a cent.

Well, in due time she came. She put up at the hotel, for our cottage at Low- bridge wasn't big enough to hold her, with her maid, coachman and carriage ; but fortunately that was close by, and) she spent the larger half of the three} days with us.

We all thought Bess would be her choice, for father had named her Eliza- beth for Aunt Betty, though she had aiways been “ Bess”” with us; but it was not either of the twins, and it was| not I—it was Patricia.

“ Where did that girl get her black hair?” Aunt Betty asked, as soon a8 she saw her.

“[ think she looks like my brother Luke, don’t you?” asked the mother with a wistful look

“The very image of him,” answered Aunt Betty, turning pale.

idivined them, as [ learned after- wards, that Uncle Luke had been 4 lover of Aunt Betty's, when both were young, before her marriage, and the fact seemed to have a power over her.

She looked at Patricia until the girl blushed rosy red, and would have slip- pel out of the room, when she called her to her, and, drawing her down upon her knees on a footstool before her, she put a withered hand each side of the warm cheek, and said warmly:

“My dear, you shall be my heiress.”’

So it was Patricia she choose to leave her money to; but we were not left out in the cold, for she sent the twins, who were only sixteen, to a convent schoo! for two years, and invited me, with Patricia to the Hermitage.

It was her home—s stately old man- sion of gray stone, gloomy looking on the outside, but luxuriously comtort- ableand beautiful within, without being in the least modern. We had e&ch a maid and the free use of the horse and carriage. Aiter making this provision for our comfort, Aunt Betty excused herself from making company of ts, and we were free as air to enjoy our- selves as we chose, provided we did not interfere with her naps. We chose to make s great many pleasant ac-

uaintances, guided conscientiously by Aunt Betty’s wishes, and the result was that I returned to Lowbridge in the Summer, engaged to Mr. Clyde Sherrington. He was wealthy, hand- some, agreeable, well connected. Every- body said, “ Gertrude has done well for herself.’

That Autumn Aunt Betty died. Pat- ricia was to come in possession of her fortune in a year, when she was twenty- one—full and undisputed possession of one hundred thousand dollars.

It was arranged that we were alli to!

come to the Hermitage to live. We did so, and had lived there quietly, as was becoming, for nearly a year, when Patricia made the acquaintance of Mr.

Gage Redmond.

She met him first at a funcral—of all places!—the occasion caused by the death of our next neighbor, Gen. De Lacy, Gage Redmond being a neighbor of his. He was well-connected, but poor as a church-mouse, people said; so of course he was after Patricia’s for tune,” mamma declared.

* Patricia is rich and beautiful. Pray don’t let her marry a fortune hunter, mamma,” said I, looking up from a letter 1 was writing to Mr. Sherring- ton.

“JT would not, if I could help it; but what authority have I, Gertrude ?”’ said my mother. “Ina few months Pat- ricia will be in undivided possession of her fortune. We are here only by courtesy. The hermitage is her home. Ihave no right to control her what-

the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been eaused by outward application as the present. It is an a fact that over half of the

entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN’S CarsicuM Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any Other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasiers are slow of action. and require to be worn continually to effect acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant oue is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoronghly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as & medical agent for an outward anplication; but it is only of very recent date that its adyan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

R. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER, You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and hee poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters, One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends,

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELYrN’s CaAPsI- CUM Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, te any address in the United States or Canadas.
