ADvICE.-As the hot season is approaching, every
person should prepare their system for the change, and
there is no remedy so applicable as "McLean's Strength
ening Cordial and Blood Purifier" 1t will purify the
blood thoroughly, and at the same time strengthen and
~invigorate the whole organization. The immense guam
tity Of it that is sold daily, is proof enough of its great
virtues in thoroughly removing all the impure matter
from the blood. We say to all, try it! 1t is delicious
to take. See the advertisement in another column.

CHAPTER TI--How THE REvENGE ENDED
True to this promise, Richard Mallot never
nterlercd by word OF deed, with the arrange.
ments his child's guardians had made for her
education.
A few years went by, and the laboring stone
mason had risen TO the first workman in his
masters employ With bettcred means and
good wages, Richard Maliet vas able to quit
the neighborhood of Pcck's court and rent a
small house in the suburbs Mrs Mallet still
washed and ironed, and cooked her husbands
dinner, but her labors wero aided by little
servant; and the boys were sent to a good
school
People said Richard Alallet was not the man
he used to he lie had grown ehurlish with
his friends, naughty with his iellows lost his
old spirits and pleasant smile and only seemed
intent upon making his way up in the world
But hrs wife and children could find no fault in
him la her heart of hearts, Hannah perhaps
knew that her husband was not the same; but
she would have died sooner than breathed aIi
accusation against him,
Aud where was Jessie all this timei
la these few years, Jessie Maet the whilom
crippled child, has grown into a straight, we'll.
formed girl whose presence would disgrace no
drawing room. Ola slight figure and delicate
features, she stil recalls the pale face little
child who used to hobblo about her fathers
house upon Il cru.h but there is a hleom upon
her check, and health aud energy in her move.
mcnts now days Under sltillfu treatment
and the healthy Influences that have surround
ed her of late, her infrmty haa gradually dis,
appeared.
IL is an important day at the Canterbury
school, when next we see her. II is Jessie
seventeenth birthday, and her school days are
at an end. She has been writing letter to
her pareuts--those letters ar1 the only links
between the old lilo and the new one; Richard
has them all, from the first childish sorawl, to
the last we-penned epistle, safely locked up in
au old desk--and Jessie sits thinking of her
father aud mother with tears in her eyes.
Why are they not there to-day Around the
room are spread all the little gifts her compan-
ions have given her-mere trihes for the most
part, but pleasant tokens If the good will she
has awakened there, and the good name sine
leaves behind. every body here remembers
me, and is kind, thinks Jessie. at is only
my own family who forget me!"
Well, Jessie has plenty Of new friends now,
and, for aught we know, may have learned Ia
do without her parents love since last we met
her. There are many affections wo count
strong, that a six years absence would try; and
letter writing, as We most of us know, is but a
poor bond alter all. So perhaps Jcssie's love
is Of a less ardent nature than it used to he.

the bewilde,ing influences of drink until it
made him brute, and he dragged her down
