IF you show Ned Sewer the match
for such a memory. he'll soon confess
to a passion they call love which have
been taught was fond memory's twin
brother"
Respect this one, Ned" replied Gra-
ham, with emotion; at is sacred"
Forgive me, Graham, l am such an
inconsiderate fool. Believe me, I
would not willingly wound you." said
Sewer. deeply annoyed at his own
thoughtlessness.
Don't speak Of it. Ned" replied
Graham, smiling. But tell me, is that
your only caution?"
Yes, unless there are other claims
that she acknowledges. Did Davie not
speak of them?"
"Claims What claims? He would
not have exposed me to such tempta-
tion had there been other ties. What
do you meant"
Nothing, again. 1t seems as II am
doomed to make myself inexplicable;
but candidly. l thought Davie himself
had some interest"
'Ha, say you so! thank you for the
warming"
1t was just a thought OF mine; but
farewell till we meet again, Miss Camp
bell" said he elevating his voice. Il
leave my friend in your hands-don't
let him be too wretched. My kindest
regards to your uncle, and tell him l
will not cease to reproach myself for
my thoughtlessness." And mounting
his horse he was soon out Of sight
| Ellen was now left alone to entertain
her guest. He was yet weak from his
wound and unable to sit up very long
at a time. The solitude Of his room
was irksome to him, and with the priv
ilege Of an invalid, he reclined upon
the sofa beside her. or rested In the

His dependence. and this freedom from
restraint, with his own open and win
ming disposition, soon made them quite
at ease; and when Mr.. Willoughby
came down late In the evening he
found them chatting with the famil-
iarity of old acquaintances.
Graham was possessed Of high ami
NAL spirits which, with fine scholarly
attainments, made him a most enter
tanning companion. His disposition
was warm, eager, impatient and ver-
satile, and the fervor with which he
described any topic, and the graphic
interest with which he invested 1t, was
peculiarly charming to Ellen Campbell,
shut out, as she had been, from such
congenial intercourse. ....-.
You seem to be in pain, SIR" said
Mr.. Willoughby, as intently watching
the young officer. he noticed an ex-
pressing Of acute suffering pass across
his face.
my arm Is not as comfortable as 1t
might be. think the bandage has
slipped" said he striving to smile, but
checked by a twinge doubly severe.
II will call Jerry to dress it for you"
said Ellen, rising But. Of course. Jer-
ry could not be found, and Ellen had
TO return in CONSERVATION.
What Is to be DONE" said Mr.. Will
loughby, in terror at the increasing
paleness of his guest.
IF you will trust 1t to me, I think I
could make 1t comfortable" said Ellen.
firmly, though the color mantled her
cheeks.
will you, indeed? That is an hon
or" he replied, eagerly. Then in a
tone Of hesitation, but 1t will be a
painful task for you. No, l can suffer
it till Jerry comes" and he leant back
| In the chair and closed his eyes in ex-
haustion. Ere he was aware, Ellen
quietly and gently unwrapped the stiff
fened bandage, and bathing the In
famed and angry wound, soon gave
him the ease he so much needed.
How shall thank you?" he said,
as she bent over him arranging, with
her woman's care, his pillows.
by saying nothing" she smilingly
replied, land keeping perfectly quiet
for at least fifteen minutes"
IF you seal my lips. my heart will
not be silent" said he, as he looked
up at her in grateful admiration. She
placed her finger on her lips with an
arch smile as she shook her head In
playful reproof But 1t was impossi-
BILE to keep his restless nature long
quiet. and he was soon chatting as
gaily as ever.
You have had lonely day l fear"
said Mr.. Willoughby. who had seated
himself I'm the embrasure of a window
with his face towards his guest.
Lonely. did you say, sir? Then
would always be lonely"
"Ah! l am glad Ellen was able to
cheer you. shall prove but a sorry
companion myself; but trust she will
not neglect what her youth and spirits
fit her for" And he sighed deeply
Miss Campbell tells me. sir. that
you have visited England" said the
young officer. anxious to divert his
mind from the painful thoughts that
so overcame him.
Did she?" he replied, starting vio-
lently.
Yes, and you will excuse me II 1
say 1t is matter Of surprise to me
that one who has seen the workings
Of our government-one who has seen
our happiness our peacefulness, and
our prosperity. should ever wish to re-
volt from the government that so
blesses its subjects"
And justly a matter Of surprise, my
young friend" replied Mr.. Willoughby,
with a more assured manner: but you
mistake our position. We did not wish
to revolt: we were forced to 1t. There
is such a thing as disturbing the hap
piness of our neighbor. merely because
1t stands in the way Of our own-tak-
ing from him what Is of real use to
him merely because 1t is Of equal or
more use to us. We felt that to be the
policy that actuated our mother coun-
try. and we are struggling for har-
mony. humanity and interest"
Lieut.. Graham would make us an
