Prof. Tvpaa,,,s Warning.

In concluding an address TO the students OF
University College Q4ondon) Pref. Tyndan
who Is unquestionably one OF the most indie
fatigable brain-workers of our century, said,
take care OF your health. Imagine Hercules
as oarsman in a rotten boat what can he do
there but by the very force Of his stroke expe-
dite the ruin Of his craft. Take care Of tho
timbers of your boat" The distinguished sci
entsts advice is equally valuable to all tc0rkers.
We are apt TO devote all our energies TO WELD
ing the oars, our strokes fall firm and fast, but
few OF US examine or even think of the condi-
ton OF our boats until the broken or rotten
timbers suddenly give way and we find ourselves
the victims Of a calamity which could have
been easily avoided by little forethought. What
began with a slight fracture, or perhaps even
careless exposure to disorganizing influences,
ends in the complete wreck Of the life-boat.
The disease which began with a slight headache
or undue exposure to cold terminates in death,
unless its progress be checked, and the disease
remedied. The first symptoms, the heralds of
disease, give no indication Of the strength Of
the on-coming foe, and the victim trusts that
his old ally, Nature, will exterminate the inva-
der. But disease is an old general and accom-
plishes his most important movements in the
nighttime, and some bright morning finds him
in possession of one of the strongest fortifica-
tons and when he has once gained a strong
hold in the system Nature ignominiously turns
traitor and secretly delivers up the whole phys
ical armory to the invader. Like the willy poll
tician, Nature is always on the strongest side
ana the only way to insure her support is to
keep your vital powers in the ascendant. Keep
your strongest forts-the stomach and liver
well guarded. Do not let the foe enter the ar
terial highways, for he will steal or destroy your
richest merchandise and impoverish your king
dom. To repulse the attacks of the foe you can
find no better ammunition than DR.. Pierces
Family Medicines. Gull directions accompany
| each package.) His Pleasant Pugative Pellets
are especially effective in defending the stomach
and liver. His Golden Medical Discovery for
purifying the blood and arresting coughs and
colds. If you wish to become familiar with the
most approved system of defense in this war
fare, and the history Of the foes method of in
vasion, together with complete instructions for
keeping your forces in martial order in time of
peace, you can find no better manual of these
tactics than 1.-THE Peoples Common Sense Med

bear still in remembrance the girl you
loved so dearly, come-come Mt once, as
it would grieve me not to say good-by
before L die.-HELEN.
No sooner had George recovered from
the shock of this news than he resolved
to start Immediately for New York but,
unfortunately, no steamer was to sail
either from Havre or Liverpool for two
days.
She was dying he loved her to dis
traction thousands of miles were be-
tween them he might, perhaps, arrive
too late-only the imagination can meas
ure and the heart feel his agony during
those two days, and the subsequent time
of the voyage-words cannot express it,
He arrived mt last. He had his hand on
the hasp of the gate of that garden in
which he had passed the happiest hours
of his life /; but would he find her alive z
His heart seemed ready to burst, and his
hand felt as though paralyzed. But for
James, the waiter, who, having seen him,
came to meet him, perhaps he might not
have entered the garden for hours.
"Oh, Mr.. Ward" said James, and his
tone betrayed the sorrow that had come
over the house.
"Helen?" murmured George, family.
"Alas very low, Mr.. Ward"
However little encouraging in itself,
the thought that she was still alive gave
him new life. But his Joy was doomed
to short duration the most heart-rend-
ing sight awaited him in Helen's room.
There she lay, her arms on her breast,
her features bearing all the marks OF
death, and her breath scarcely percepti-
BILE.
Mrs. Gwynne was kneeling on one
side of the bed, sobbing, and hiding
her face in the bed-clothes; DIR. SHARP
was standing on the other, motionless
with his head bent down as if yielding
to the inevitable. Georges cry made
Mrs. Gwynne raise her head. "Ah
George" she exclaimed, on recognizing
him, "you are our last hope"
The young man fell on his knees; fol
long time he could not speak; he could
only watch the dying girl, and hide il
his heart the agony which almost over
powered him.
Toward morning Helen opened hel
eyes and turned them family around, az
if seeking some one. ooh, George |!
she cried, upon seeing the young man
"She is saved - said DIR. Sharp. AnC
he was not mistaken. At the end of tive
months, during which George never lief
her, she had so improved as to be able
to go down into the garden without othel

One afternoon, while they wer,
seated under the arbor, as in forme
times, Helen sweetly said: "Do you

Than the complexion of person becomes who
omiis to regulate his liver when that important
gland grows neglectful of its secretye function.
Moreover, the stomach under such circum-
stances becomes disordered, the bowels are con-

the nervous system shares in the general de-

however, easily remediable with that matchless

CHAPTER Ill.

Faithful to his engagement, George
went to the Park, and from there, will
Helen and her aunt, to their house. She
appeared to him more charming than
ever. She made chocolate for him, and
played and sang in manner that be-
witched him, and he could not forbeal
expressing his delight and admiration in
the most fiattering terms.
DO you love me SOP" exclaimed
Helen, joyfully. "Well, then, L shall
be always thus to You. How many
times" added she, signing, after short
pause, "have / thought and dreamed OF
you, Ralph, during your absence ! u
Then, suddenly passing from sadness to
merriment, she reioined "Why, Sig
nOrinO, you have not yet spoken to me OF
your journey to Brazil why don't you
tell me something about it ?"
81 saw very little of that country,
Helen," answered the fictitious Ralph,
evasively.
"Ah L understand" rejoined the
lovely girl, lending meaning of her own
to Georges hesitation "you stopped
there but a very short time, and then
! started, nobody ever knew for what
country.
A long silence followed. Helen, wholly
absorbed in her thoughts, seemed uncon-
scious of everything then, suddenly
rising, she joyfully exclaimed, "There,
there she is Did 1 not promise it to
your"
"What !"
"The moon quick, let us go into the
garden" And, suiting the action to the
word, she led him thither, made him
take seat ON bench under an arbor,
sat herself at his feet with childlike in
nocence, leaning her head on his knees.
"No poet" George Ward even now
affirms, "ever spoke of love better than
Helen Van Brunt did that night"
Whether pity or love guided him to
her house, George could not say; the
fact is, he felt more deeply interested in
Helen every day. He spent all his even
ings with her, and each meeting was a
new delight to him. He no longer
pressed his lawyer to hasten the settle
ment of his affairs, and seemed to be
very happy. Sometimes, however, af-
ter leaving her, and, while musing on
the events of the evening, he felt the
oddness of his situation, and cloud of
sadness fell upon his brow. "What
will be the end of this adventure ?" he
asked himself repeatedly. "Of all this
love not single particle is mine u Still,
though his anxiety increased every day,
he continued to visit her, and would not
have renowned this pleasure for any
thing in the world.
One evening Helen was sad and un-

CHAPTER ".

A note from his lawyer came next day
to strengthen Georges resolution. HIS
affairs were settled, and he could now
call for his money. Having dispatched
his business, in the afternoon he stopped
ut Helen's house, and sought an inter-
view with Mrs. Gwynne. To her he
gravely communicated his intentions.
The poor old soul did all she could to
move him from his determination.
"Listen, Mrs. Gwynne, said George !;
sit has been impossible for me to make
love to Helen and not to fall madly in
love with her Mt the same time. To
love her as / do, and to see that, OF all
the affection she manifests toward me,
nothing is properly my own-Oh! l
cannot endure such martyrdom any
longer. Mrs. Gwynne, l cannot, with
out running the risk of losing my own
reason. To hope that her feeling may
change, and that she may sometime love
me for what ] am, and not because / re-
semble her Ralph, is foolishness. 1t is
best for us to part. Though to give
her up is almost death to me, L must
go 4"
In the meantime, Helen, with the
watchfulness peculiar to persons in her
STATE had noticed the coming of George,
ano ad overheard mis- conversation with
her aunt. AS the young man uttered his
last words she opened the door, and
stepped slowly into the parlor. She was
pale as a corpse. A long pause, full of
anxiety to all, followed. Helen first broke
the silence with these words: "You
say you are going to leave us? You,
too? And you are not Ralph Who
are you, then ?"
George dared not answer.
"Who are you ?" the poor girl re-
peated wistfully.
CT am George Ward" said the young
man, resolutely, in hope of favorable
crisis.
"George Ward p she repeated
mechanically, and paused. oh
what terrible awakening and it was
so sweet to dream He is not my
Ralph !" and, throwing herself on
the sofa, she buried her face in her
hands.
George and Mrs. Gwynne were speech
less.
Farewell, Georgel" Helen cried, at
last, rising and stretching out her hand
to him.
Farewell !" he answered, in choked
voice, Selling her hand and pressing it
to his lips.
"Oh it is cruel I" said Helen, burst
ing into tears, and throwing herself into
her aunts arms.
"Ah what have you done, George 7"
uttered the old lady, despondently.
Helen, Helen" he answered, franti-
cally, "say one word; say you love me,
and 1 shall remain with You forever"
"And Ralph? What would Ralph
think of me ?" replied the broken-hearted
girl
Ralph is dead, Helen, and George,
think, loves you more than Ralph ever
did, he murmured.
Farewell y Helen replied, sadly.
There was so much solemnity in the
tone in which that word was pronounced
that George saw that all appeal to her
feelings would be useless, and went away
without another word.
Has he gone Z" family asked Helen,
after some moments, still leaning her
head on her aunt's shoulder.
Eyes; but keep.up your spirits, my
child do not break my heart, dear"
CT shall not-look, it Isl over. Since
he is not Ralph / shall not cry for his
departure" said Helen, and her face
grew calm.

CHAPTER III

During the remainder of the evening
George was unable to drive from his
mind the image of the poor girl whom he
had met so strangely. He felt al intense
ycarning to see once more that sweet.
pale face, though he had determined TO
avoid going again to the park.
Early in the morning a servant in
formed him that a lady wished to see
him as soon as possible.
In ten minutes he was down in the par
lor of the hotel.

Some months had elapsed since George
had parted from Helen. His love had
lost something of its violence, but moth

continually seeking for pleasure, all the
amusements of Paris afforded him but
little. What annoyed him most was the
obstinate silence of the girl and her
aunt, Notwithstanding all the letters he
had written TO them.

Its effects are more certain than castor oil. II

itg the stomach and bowels the Castoria cools
the blood, expels worms and prevents fever
