Again and again she came, sometimes accompanied by her father, but oftener alone; and at last the painter was de- lighted to find that she could converse freely with him in the deaf and dumb alphabet.’ With what joy he now re- lated to her his whole life—its mourn- ful childhood and youth, when no sound of bird or breeze or human voice could reach his ear; and how he used to go wandering fer whole days through pieture-galleries, until the idea seized him, that he, too, must paint, and how that, ever since that hour, he had lived

and was no longer the lonely man, apart from his fellow-creatures, but that his art was the one grand link that bound him and them together.

But what more did Fernandez im- part? He told her, too, that the moment he saw her he felt that she was to be the connecting link between him and happiness.

“And yet how—oh, how can I take you from the living, speaking music of | the world, and bind you to the speech-| less silence that ever surrounds me ?”’

Hfer trembling fingers telegraphed to his mind that she wanted no higher destiny. It was enough for the affec- tionate girl that he loved her. She would give worlds that his lips could speak ; but her love could never be lessened because they were silent.

How to break the tidings to her par- ents was now the great object of her solicitude ; and on this very night she ‘had promised Fernandez that it should be toldthem. Hecame at the twilight, held a brief interview with her, and then leit her to tell what he felt it im possible for him to make them com- prehend.

When Don Albert and his wife re- turned, they heard all from the lips of the trembling girl. Tenderly as they loved her, they could not give her up t> a fate like this. They entreated her not to give him any hope; their decision now could never be reversed. Maraquita yielded to their tears what she could not have done to their com. mands; but the storm in her soul was no less severe. Her parting with Fer-} nandez the next day was a terrible scene. The sight of the dumb and powerless anguish was more affecting than the most impassioned speech.

"Phe only consolation which he could receive was the solemn assurance of her continued affection.

They parted—Maraquita to go to her lonely room, which no persuasion could induce her to leave, and Fernandez to the country villa where his mother lived in quiet poverty ; for it was not poverty that induced her son to paint, but to fill the the time hanging so wearily upon a person with his pri- vation.

All the comfort which the mother could impart to his mute agony was given, but the wound was deep and lasting. He had no time, however: to give to grief, for he was summoned to Madrid, by Philip I1., and appointed painter to the King, with a pension of 200 ducats. Here he painted “The shepherds Announcing the birth of Our Savior,’ and his representation of them was 80 exquisitive that every one ex- claimed, ‘ What beautiful shepherds ? This exclaimation afterwards became the name of the painting, it being every- where known as ‘ The Beautiful Shep- herds.’

Still Maraquita mourned, in almost utter loneliness, the loss of her lover# Still did Dona Catalina cherish bitter- ness toward her whom she could not acquaint of coquetry toward her inno- cent and unfortunate son. Every one concerned in the affair was unhappy. Don Albertand his wife were miserable, for, although Maraquita made no com- plaint, her pale thin face was a per- petual reproach ; and ber refusal to go into company distressed and annoyed them.

Maraquita had heard of the appoint- ment, but she heard also that Fernan. dez had again left Madrid; she did not know why; but one evening a courier brought a note from Donna Catalina, couched partly in bitter and partly in humble terms, informing her that her son, ‘whom ber cruelty had destroyed,’ was lying dangerously ill, and that she must come and look upon the wreck she had made. It closed with a frantic ap- peal for her to come immediately. She showeditto her father,and he could not resist the pleading look which she gave him. A tew moments later they were on the road with a pair of horses that seemed almost to fly.

The mute appeal of that sorrow- stricken face thet lay upon the pillow almost unmanned Don Albert. He marked theagony of his daughter, and the proud, stately grief of Fernandez’s © beautiful mother, and he asked himself if he could bestow aught upon either from his wealth that could compensate for the anguish of this hcur. One word from him would bring back joy to all. Should he speak it? Could he give up

were so eloquent.

Still did iis mother’s beautiful and noble face look out from his canvas, but Maraquita’s never. It was in his heart to deeply to bring it to the gaze of the world. He kept it there, shrined and holy, within the bosom’s inner- most depths. It was that mute unex-! pressed love, that needs no speech to declare it—the Jove of the dumb paint- er of Logrono.

Charlottetown, May 30—

The Greatest Medical Diseovery sinee the Creation of 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 doen caused by outward application 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 CAPSICUM Porous 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. All other plasters are slow of action. and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; ut with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will fee) 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 @ medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan-

es in @ porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELVIN’S CaPsicCUM Porous 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 baek, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters erliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and ou want acertain cure, ask your druggist for be. MeLvin’s Capsicum PoRoUs PLASTER. You can hardly believe ees own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you ean rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will reli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPst- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on r of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, te any address in the United States or Canadas.
