TWO FAIR DECEIVERS.
Concluded.
It was noticable that as the ladies be | came confidential with their lovers, they | had less to say to each other; and it) began at last to be quite evidest to the, real widow that the play maustend for the present, or the denouncement weuld come prematurely. Circumstances favored her determination. One night Clementine with a radiant face came into her friend’s room, and suid, ‘Fan, I have something to tell you. Cleve has asked me to marry him.’
‘Now, Clement you have told him ali; I know you have.’
‘Nut a word, Fan He still believes me the widow Clare.’
‘Did you accept him ?’
‘Conditionally. Lam to give him a final answer when we go to the city in October. You are going to New York this winter are you not ?’
‘Yes. Our little play progresses
’
finely. John Selden usked me to be his wife to-night.’
‘I told you men think and act in}
pairs.’
‘John is a noble fellow. I protended to think his cousin had illused, he de- fended him until 1 was ashamed of myself; absolutely said, Clement, that you were a sufficient excuse for Mr. Clare’s will. Then he blamed his own
t idleness so mach, and promised if I would only try and endure ‘the slings and arrows’ of your outrageous temper, Clement, for two years longer, he weuld have made a home for me in which I could be happy. Yes, Clement, I should marry John Selden if we had not a five dollar bill between U3.’
‘T wish Cleve had been a little more explicit about bis money afiairs. How- ever, there is time enough yet. When they leave to-morrow, what shall we do?’
‘We will remain here another month; Levive will have the house ready for me by that time. I have written to him about furnishing the parlors,’
So next day the lovers parted, with many promises of constant letters and future happy days together. The in- terval was long and dul] enough; but it passed, and one morning both gentle- men received notes of invitation to a * emall dinner party at the widow Clare’s mansion in street. There was a good deal of dressing for this party. Cleve wished to, mako his entrance into his future home as became the prospective master of a million and a half of money, ‘and Joba was desirous of not suffering in Clement’s eyes by any comparison with the other gentle- men who would probably be there.
Scarcely had they entered the draw- ing room when the ladies appeared, the the true widow Clara no longer in the unassuming toilet she? had hitherto worn, but magnificent in white crepe lisse and satin, her arms and throat and
retty head flashing with sapphires and
iamonds. Her companion had assum- ed now the role ofsimplicity, and Cleve was disappointed with the first glance at her plain white Chambery gauze dress.
Jobn had seen nothing but the bright face of the girl he loved and the love- light in her eyes. Before she could speak he had taken both her hands and whispered, ‘ Dearest and best and love- liest Clement.’
Her smile answered him first. Then she said: ‘Pardon me, Mr. Selden, but we have been in masquerade all summer, and now we inust unmask be- fore seal life begins. My name is not Clementine Marat, but Fanny Clara, Cousin John, I hope you are not disap
inted. Then she put her hand into vohn’s, and they wandered off into the explana-
conservatory te finish their tion.
Mr. Cleve Sullivan found himself at that moment in the most trying cir- cumstance of his life. The real Clem- entina Marat stood looking down at a flower on the carpet, and evidently expecting him to resume the tender at- titude he had been accustomed to bear toward her. He was a man of quick decisions where his own interests were concerned, and it did not take him half @ minute te review his position and de- termine what todo. This plain blonde “girl he could marry; she had deceived Bim too—he had a sudden and severe spasin of mortality; his conSdence was broken ; he thought it was very poor sport to play with a man 8 most sacred
feeling ; he had been greatiy disap-
‘pointed and grieved, etc., ete.
Clementine stood perfectly still, with her eyes fixed on the carpet and her cheeks gradually flushing, as Cleve made his awkward accusations. She gave him no help and she made no de. ence, and it soon becomes embarrass- ing fora man to stand in the middle of a large drawing-room and talk to him- self about any girl. Cleve felt it so.
~
suit when we met in New York, You have -spared me the trouble. Good evening, sir.’
Clementine showed to no one her disappointment, and she probably soon recovered from it. Her life was full of many other pleasant plans and hopes, and she could well afford to let a selfish lover pass outof it. She remained with her friend until after the marriage be- tween her and Johna Selden had been consummated ; and then Cieve saw her name among the list of passengers sail- ing on one particular day for Europe. As John and his bride left on the same steamer, Cleve supposed, of course, she had gone in their company.
‘Nice thing it would have been for Cleve Sullivan to marry John Selden’s wife’s maid, or something or other ! John was always alucky fellow. Some fellows are always unlucky in love af- fairs—I always am.’
Half a year afterward he reiterated this statement with a great deal of un- necessary emphasis. He was just but- toning his gloves preparatory to start- for his afternoon’s drive, when an old acquaintance hailed him.
‘Oh, it’s that fool Belmar,’ he mut- tered ; ‘I shall have to offer him a ride. I thought he was in Paris— Hello Bel- mar, when did you get back! Have a ride ?’
‘No, thank you. I have promised my wife to ride with her this after- noon.’
‘Your wife ! ried ?”
‘Last month, in Paris.’
‘And the happy lady was—’
‘Why, I thought you knew; every one is talking about my good fortune, Mrs. Belmar is old Paul Marat’s only child’
‘Whet ?”
‘Miss Clementina Marat. She brings me nearly $3,000,000 in money and real-estate, and w heart beyond all price.’
‘.,ow on earth did you meet her ?’
‘She was travelling with Mr. and Mrs.
Selden—you know John Selden. has lived with Mrs. Sellen ever since she left. school; they were friends when they were girls together.’ Cleve gathered up his.xeins, and nod- diog to Mr. Frank Belmar, drove ata finable rate up the Avenue and through the Park. He could not trust himseif to spexk to any one, and when he did, the remark which he made to himself in strict confidence was not flattering. For once Mr. Cleve Sullivan told Mr. Cleve Sullivan that. he had been badly punished, and that he well deserved it. Harper's Weekly

CATARRE,.
Constitutional Catarrh © Remedy CURES CATARRH.
Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.
When were you mar-
T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:—t Dear Str—It is now two years since your|
‘Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced tome. I have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good tobe true.”
I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In readingin your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop”’ from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head.
A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me te send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper. Yours truly,
W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation ef 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 caused by outward applicatiow as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.
DR. MELVIN’s CarstcumM Porovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, te 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. Al) other plasters are slow of action, and reguire to be worn continually to effect acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.
Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM Porovs 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 ali 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, Youcan hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safet for the most delicate person to wear, as it free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manutacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient gnarantee of its merits, and one plaster will esti hundreds to your friends.
sk your druggist fer Dn. MeLvry’s CAPsi- cum PoRrOUS 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, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
