HECTOR GARRET OF OTTER. BY THE AUTBOR OF MIEG OF ELJEANK." ONE winter night Leslie, in her.deep chair, observed Hector '=Garret turning 0101:. the _leaves_ of—an-,-old—pocket-book-i_ catching her v,eye, he offered it to her with a "See, Leslie, how my father chrOn- Wed the fashions"—fie never did sup pose .. her susceptible of very grave inter ests.' M., Professor of the In , the dearth of other amusement, Leslie pored over the diary, and found -more suggestive paragraphs than the en try indicated: "Abel Furness has sent me a waistcoat an inch and a half, short er, and a pair of clouded silk hese for the black ditto, ordered." There were —"Three pounds 'English to my boy Hector. to keep his pocket during his stay at Ardhope." "A crown to Hector as fee for fishing out the black scot that broke its neck over the rocks." " A let ter from - Utrecht from my son Hector; a fair hand and a sensible diction." ..!I_For ty pounds over and above paid to please Hector on the bond over the flax-fields of Ferndeati." " A Small stipend se cured to My thriftless kinsman, Willie Hamilton, by the advice and with the aid-of-my-son-Hector." . "To Earlscraig_ with Hector:" this notice was repeated many times, until the recoid closed ab rubt)y with the tremulous thanksgiving -- 7 -" My dear son and heir, Hector, recov erect of his maktly, by the blessing of God." Very plainly lay the life-clew of that silent heart, traced in the faded ink of thiiie 'yellowing pages. 'How old men cherished tl eir offspring ! What did Hec tor Garret think, of those mute but potent witnesses of a regard that he could know no more on'earth? She knew he prized the book,,for she had seen it carefully deposited in one of the private drawers in his study. She ol.ened it at thelae• ginning, and slipping her fingers into its gilded pockets, discovered a folded paper. It contained merely a sprig of heather, and written' on . the inclosure—" From my dear wife, Isabel; bef first gift." Two dates Were: subjoined, with thirty years' interval—that of the receipt of the to ken, that of the inscription of the mem. orandutn. ,With flushing cheeks Leslie sat, and spread out the crushed; brittle spikes, so fondly won,rso dearly held. She was sure Hector had not one leaf, riband; or ring which she bad given to him.. Once when he was gayer thanhis wont, and plagued her with his jesting petting, she took up the.scissors-and cut off,a lock' of his hair. He did not notice the theft till it was accomplished, and then he stood half-thoughtful, half contemptuous. Ho had not a hair of hers, the whole head was his; but his father thought other. This earlier Hector Garret—she bad heard Bridget enlarge upon,, `his merits "A fine pan, like the master, but frank and 'light of heart until , he kit the lady —ay, a real lady! grand and gladsome —the old lady of Otter." , Lealie.longed fora vision of those old oceutitints of her place and her husband's; to have'a vivid ekperienoe of how they looked, spoke, and lived: to sea them in spirit, in their morning good wishes, their cares, their evening cheer, their, nightly prjiy. era.

CHAPTER IV = insurmountable barrier, forever together, yet forever apart? These shades lingered and abode with Leslie in her lonely vigils; ore. she dis tinguished whether their language was that of warning' or reproach. She stud ied their material likenesses-the last save one in, the picture-gallery—honest faces; bright with wholesome vigor; their son . Rector's -was fine physiognomy, but the .light had left lip and eye, and Leslie missed it as she gazed wistfully at thesd shadows, and compared them -with their living representative.' Stiff and staring these two portraits,,but abundant.. ly characteriStic---the . bluff gentleman in the green hunting'coat, in which* had leaped many a thickset hedge, and scoured many a 'height -and holltiw, for he had been a mighty hunter in hiS day, as . well as a loyal lover;„and generous master -the handsome, portly lady, likewise in a gold laced_cap, for she also had been a rider; and, followed her lord in his pursuit of the , hounds'as in every other- , --Wheth• er s•iperficially or heartily,, Leslie was sadly puzzled to determine, for indeed the Otter chronicles classed the two as one, and linked them inseparably until death dissolved the union, and the laird remained a widowediiiin — ftsl.li - e - remnant of his days. The laird and the lady planned the . garden ; the laird and the lady brought in the cultivated acres of moorland; the laird and the lady were even allied in h'er yards of carpet work, fur had he not reared the sheep and dyed the wool which her. fingers worked indefatigably? Here was a novelty to Leslie which she w,ls not pre. • pared to admit. A stranger came to Otter : that was an unftequent event, even when the sPring: was-advancing r -and-the-beats_which been drawn up for the winter were ag'ain launched inethe cove, and the brown nets hong anew to dry on the budding whins . and j; April go - ,WanS coniert ing the laugh ti."TITY lea." .

He was a man of Elector 0-arrett's age, but even in his rough coat with marked remains of youthful foppish ness and pretension. 1-1 e was a tall wan, with beard and moustache slightly silver ed, his aquiline features were sharpened and drawn ; his bold, searching eyes sun ken. He was a gentlemen, even tin ac complished and refined gentleman, in manner and accent—and yet there was about him a nameless . coarSeness, the bru tishness of self indulgence and low aims and ends, which no polish could effue or conceal. -Leslie, - , -- notwithstandin her slight knowledge of lifp; approhended this, and shrank from the man ; but he addressed Hector Garret, with the ease of an intl. mate assoc!ate—and Hector Garret, with his pride and.scrupulousness, suffered the dearapproachTandonly-winced when-the stranger,. Accosted Leslie, complin ented Leslie, put himself coolly on the footing of future friendship with the lady of the house. The day wore, on, and still the visitor remained, entertaining himself and—dis coursing widely, but for the most part on practices and motives strange at Otter. "So you'velnarried, after all, Bector,',' he said, suddenly, as they sat together in the twilight: "well, I excuse you," with a laugh and a touch on the shoulde'r. The words. were simple enough, but they tingled in Leslie's cars like inso lence, and Hector Garret, so hard to rouse, bit his lips while he answered in difficul ty•—• 4 And when does your time come, Nigel? _ Are the shadows not declining with. you ?" "Faith, they're so low, that there's not light left for the experiment; be sides, French life spoils one for matri mony here, at least so poor Aline used to say no galling'bonds , on this side the Channel—the peaceful conventgrille, or a liglit %marriage de conversance among the pleasant southerns—not that, they are so pleasant akbey were formerly." Hector' Garret got up and walked to one of the window recesses ,his brow knit, his teeth set. , Leslie rose to steal from the room. _"Nay, stay, madam,'!_urged-the bland ) . brazen intruder, "don't rob us so soon of -fair living apology for/at - les souvenirs." But "Go, Leslie, we, will not detain you,!' Hector Garret- exclaimed, impa tiently; and. Leslie hurried, to her own chamber fn a tumult of surprise and in dignatien, Lind vexed iiiiifiticioryistr: ries, had not ceased; and what was this mystery to which Hector Garret deigned to lend himself in disparaging company with a sorry fine gentleman? • - Bridget Kennedy was there before her, making a pretence of fumbling in the wardrobe, her head shaking, her lips working, her eyes blazing with repressed . • . rage and malice. - "Is be there, .madam, still?" she de imrd,:d impetuously. ' "Is he torturing and maddening Maater Hector' with his tones.and'gestUres? 'Re I—that ought td Carlikie, Pa., Friday, September 15, 1865 crouch among the bent ,grass and fern sooner .than pass the other on the'high road. Borrowing and begging, to lavish, on his evil courses :.he whopould not, pay us--Lot in red gold, but with his heart's blood—the woe he wrought. They had guileful, stony hearts, the Boswells, be fore they ever took to foreign lightness and wickedness ; and evil to him who trafficked with them in life or death." " Who is he, Bridget 7" I' o not know him ; I cannot understand,'? gasped Les lie. "Don't ask me, madam—you, least of all." "Tell me, Bridget, tell Me," implored the girl, frighened, yet exasperated, catching the old woman's withered hands, and bolding them fast. " Don't ask we; madam," reiterated Bridget, sternly. " Better not." - • "I will knoW ; What do you mean? Oh, you hurt Me, "you hurt mei I will ask Hector Garret himself. I cannot . bear • this 'suspense. ;, ". "Child, do you- choose what you can bear? Beware!" menaced the nurse; then, as Leslie 11, mild have broken from her= Have it, then. He is the brother of that Alice Boswell why. perished in the burning of Earlscraig nigh twenty years ago. ' "Poor lady, Bridget," Leslie said, with beWildered, excited, sob. " Poor utF happy lady; but what has that to do with, him, with. me?- I understand no better. Help me, Bridget Kennedy—a woman, like myself. I will. not let you go." " Madam, what good will it serve ? It is small mattcr now :" then half relii'dt, an tly,----balfwith---that—possessi-m—with• which truth fills its keeper, slowly and sadly she unfolded the closed story Whit had -Master lieetor to do with Alice Boswell? Ele.had . to_do with her as a man has to - dd with his heart's de sire, his snare, his pitfall." "HO loved her, Bridget; he would have wedded her. I might never have been.his—•that is - - -" Love. marriage," s -I `copi.fully ; " I know notfllat lie spoke die words,. but he lay_ at her. feet. Proud as, Master Hector was, she might have trodden on his "neck; cool as Master Hector seems to others, he was fire to her. I have seen him come in from watching her shadow, long hours below her window, in the• mind and rain, and salt spray. I have known hi!a when he valued her glove in his bosom more than a king's crown— blest; blest if he had but one word or a glance. But long gone by, Madan]. Master Heetor has gained wisdom and gravity, and is the head of the house; and for fair Miss Alice, she has gone to her place. Yes, she was a beauty, Miss Alice; she could play on stringed instru ments dike the heavenly harpers, and speak nn:ny tongues, and work till the flowers grew beneath -her fingers. She learnt to wilemen's souls from their bo , dies, if' nothing.more, in the outlandish parts where she was bred." • "So fair, so gifted—did She care .for him in return, Bridget? Did she loVe him as he loved her ?" asked a. faint MEI "What need you mind, madam?" " It is ill speaking harsh words of the dead. Did I not say thaisTe . had gone to her place ? God defend you from suchna pas Sage. Let he l ir rest. Sure she cared for him, as she cared for aught else save herself. She scattered smiles and favors on scores. He' knew at last what she took and what she gave, if he did not guess it always?' "Why did he not save her, Bridget? die with her ?" ' " Madam," bitterly; "he did whatniiiti could do. They say he was more like a spirit than a mortal;. but if he was to lose his love, how Could even Mgster Hector fight :against his Maker ? He was fain to follow her ; -he-dallied-with death for weeks and months. Those were fell days at Otte:, but the Lbrd restored him, and now he is himself again, and no woman will eyer move Master I I octal. more." There was silence in the room for a space. At last Bridget broke it : "Do you want any thing more with me, madam, or shall I go ?" Haughty as Bridget Kennedy was, sho spoke hesitatingly, almost pitifully. ' She had stabbed that young thing sitting pale and cold before her ; and no sooner was the deed dond, than her strong deep nu , turd yearned over hey , victim as it had -never - done - to Hector - G arret's - girt Wife, in the first rosy lush of her thoughtless gladness. " Nothing ti more." The words .were low and heavy ;' and when Bridget left her, Leslie raised her hands and linked them :;together ; and stretched them out What was this news that had come to her as from a far country?=--this blinding light, this,burst of knowledge that had to do with the very springs of a, man's nature, this .*fountain so fall to 1:11 , Boe s 4o empty to others ?

Leslie sat..long weighing her burden, until a tap utthe door amfßridget Ken s . ne,dy's voice disturbed her.: "Eiirlscraig is gone, madam ; Master Hector is sit ting alone with his thoughts in' your YOOlll. Maybe, he is missing his cup of tea, or, if you please, madam, his lady's company that he is usedlt- at this hour." Leslie rose - mecha.nically, .walked . out, and entered her drawing room What did he there, his eyes fixed on thebroken turret of Earlscraig, defined clearly on the-limiwd-horizon r his-moinory-hoverin over the fate of fair Alice Boswell ? Was it horrible to be jealous of a:dead woman ? to' wish 'herself in that ever present grave, sacred -to biln as the holi est, though - no priest blesSed it, no house of God threw over it the shadow;of the finger pointed to heaven—the cross that bore a world's Saviour ? But that swift and glowing passage from life and light and love, such as hiS to darkness, forget• fulness:--eternityl, •Bow could sho•have fhced it? • :Bridget,her old enemy, had prayed she might be.delivered - floin it,. whatever her trials. - " Nigel Boswell is gone 'at last; he was an old playfellow, and fortune and he have been playing a losing': game ever since," he said, in unsuspecting expla nation, as he joined her where she , sat indier favorite window. She did not answer him; she was stun nad, and sat gazing abstractedly on the wall flowers rendering golden the mossy court wall, or far away on the' misty Ot ter sea. She thought he had relapsed into his reveries, was with the past, the spring tide of his life, the passion of his early manhood, while she was a little school girl, tripping demurely and safely along the crowded Glasgow streets. If she had looked up at _him she_would have ”en thathe_was observing her curious'y —wondering where his young wife had acquired that serious brow, those fixed eyes. "What are you thinking of, Leslie ?" " Nothing; Lcannot tell," hastily and resolutely. "•That sounds suspicious." He put his hand on her head, as he had.a habit Of doing ; but she recoiled from him. ' " What a sly little brain that dreads that a finger of mine on its soft covering Must diScover its secrets ! Are they treaiures, Leslie 7" Oh, bliUd, absent, reckless inau, what treasure-keeper kept such ward !

A PITIFUL CASE ---Very many years ago a man was apprehended in Ham : hire, England, charged with a capital offence— sheep stealing, I believe. After being examine. le ore a justice 'e peace, he was committed. to the county jail at Winchester for trial at the ensuing assi zes. The evidence against the man was too strong to admit of any doubt of his . guilt; he was conseqnently sentenced, and sentenced to death—rigidly enforced for this crime at the period alluded to—pro nounced. Months and years passed away, but no warrant for his execution arrived. In the interval a - marked improvement man'Sconduetid - bearingYeaaine apparent.

WORDS :—Bewalif of impure words. Filthy conversation is a fruitful means of corruption. It is a channel by whieji the impurity of ono heart may be communicated to anothd. And we know who bathe said, " Evil communications corrupt gobd manners.'' Words are an index of the state of the heart. Hence says Christ, " By thy words thou shalt be justified; and by thy words thou skalt be condenined; for Avery idle_word &it men shall speak, they shall give an account thereof in'the day of judgement." There are those whose conversation is filthy and disgusting. Parents should guard their children from such They should selves avoid every indelicate expression, and chea t the first appearance of any such thing in their Children.

"Just read Natzerl al History, and it will tell you that water snakes live on toads." " Yes, maybe itovill," said the coun tryman ; " but you gee the snake, when 1 first saw it, bad the toad's hind leg in his mouth; and the toad Squirmed around until he got the snake's tail in his mouth; and,in less than a minute they swallowed each other, and you ,couldn't see a sign of them !" . .
