take great pleasure in acknowledging the
great benefit my wife has derived from
your re at nnd wonderful medicine, B. B.
B. Fotw o years she was a great suffer
er from scrofula, or some blood disease
which had lain dormant all her life. We
bad attention from some of the most skill
ful physicians in the country, but all to no
effect, until we had all despaired of her ev
er recovering. Her mouth was one solid
ulcer, and for two months or more her bo
dy was Oroken out with sores until she
lost a beautiful head of hair, also eyolasaes
arid eyebrows in fact, she seemed t be a
compiete wreck.
Now comes tbe yreat secret -which I
want the world t kun?. Three bottles of
Blood Bnlm medicine has done the work
which would s5und incredible to nny one
who did no1 know it to be so. Today my

SELF-EXILED.
BY ABBIE LEE,
Ou the banks of the eastern shore
of Virginia an elegant mansion
reared its lofty height. Around and
even down to the "Sea Girt shore''
the extensive grounds were laid ont
with a lavish splendor, which be
tokened the possessor to be a per
son of rare taete aDd refinement, as
well as great wealth.
The winter evening had set in
with a cold, windy rain. Small
particles of snow fell against the
window pane, as if to take refuge
beside the hearth, from which huge
and noble logs cast a ruddy glow
n pen the costly furniture.
On such a cheerless night Elford
Trevis was to bring home bis bride.
-Even the elements seemed to resent.
such an innovation, and the old
house dog, who sat within the door
way, raised his shagey head as the
sound ol the sea king, lashing his
turbulent subjects, fell upon his
ear.
Upon the marble mantle a minia
ture jeweled clock, saspended be
tweeu two flying cherubs, noted the
lapse or time, a tiny bird sprang
from some hidden niche, and after
warbling a few silvery notes, it clap-
ei its winus, and five ringing
i strokes vibrated through the roam.
As the sound fell upon the ear of
young girl, buried within the
cushions of a large chair, she start-.
jed up
but oue hour before
the steamer will be in, and the ears
leave. One look at those precious
littie ones, and then this heart must
learu to look elsewhere for love.''
As she spoke, Enna Trevis left
the room, Scarce eighteen sum
mers of her life bad passed, and but
little more than two years siuce she
had placed the firt garland (wet
with her bitter tears) unon her
idolized mother's grave, from that
dy she turned the key upou ber
own blighting sorrow, and made
the light and comfort in the dark,
eued home for her father and two
little sisters.
Tbe affection which existed be
tween Elford Trevis and Eona was
ttuly touching, His manner to
ward her was always tender, gentle
and deferential, His pride all cen
tered in her. He rode with her,
sang with her, and consulted her m
all business matters, while she
looked upou her farther as the
noblest work of tbe Creator, and
really they were as essential to each
ether as the sunbeam to tbe rose.
Full soon the earth upon the
grave ot Elford Trovis' wife became
green with the grass, and the flow-
era nis children had planted within
bloomed. Eighteen
tnontbs had ned witn "jtatner
Time," and the only change in his
spleudid home was a call from
his State, to fill an honored seat in
the Legislative ball of Kichmond.
The time of his absence seemed long
to Eona, and tbe smile which weN
corned his glad return told him ot
such.
Tbe night was glorious. After
the little ones had kissed papa and
sister "goodnight'' and gone to
rest, Mr. Trevis wrapped a fleecy
sbawl aroung tbe form of his daugh
terrwith a oordonable thrill of
pride and joy, that so much beauty,
grace and elegance belonged to him,
he bore her away. "While they were
seated upon a rustic seat, wiih the
moonbeams and tbe waves dancing
to gentlest music of the evening
breeze, be told her of his travels, of
the thunders of applause which
followed his efforts to represent tbe
cause of bis nob'e brothers and con
stituents. Then, with his arm ar-
jound ber and ber hand in his, he
jtold her of a gentle, loving woman
i V. ; 1 .n4 fill '..
j place made vacant by ber dead
1 mother. She listened in unbroken
'silence, while he told her of tbe eary
jlv love which had existed between
; Ellen Clyde, and himself in their
youth ; cf the trial of seperation ; !
! her martiage and bis ; how tbey had
imet again, after sh- bad laid a ty-
rannicai husband and cue child in
the grave, and he, the beautitul,
loving and beloved mother of his
Godeys' Lady1
c!i:idren. it whs her way to take
everything calmly, so he could not
see the anguish of ber heart, as she
rested against his strong breast
They passed in, and he stopped her
beneath the hall lamp.
' You sympathiz? with me iu this
great joy, my darling !;'
'You must do all things right,
dear father," but the pent up agony
would burst out in one cry. Ou !
my mother, my precious mother V'
and she lay in his arms iuensible.
and almost as cold as the marble
figures which filled the niches ot
the spacious ball.
Tbe time glided by. Mr. Trevis,
urged by the great sadness which
shadowed the Madouna face of his
daughter, hastened the time of his
marriage, feeling confident that a
meeting between those two so dear
ly loved, would remove all prejudice.
Only in the silence of her chamber,
with her mother's portrait before i
her, did tbe calmness give way.
"I cannot call her molber, I can
not! Oh, mother, my precious moth
er ! lying in your silent grave. How
can I see another take your place ?
I cannot; I must leave all the dear j
associations, this loed home, and
wander alone into the world ; bid
adieu to my darling father, my Ut
ile sisters, ray heart's happiness."
And thus tbe misguided girl put
away from ber the happiness cf her
young life, and resolved to go away
to some crowded city, and, under an
assumed name, teach for her main
tenance. Tbe winter evening grew more
boisterous as the hour approached,
which would herald the coming of
the steamer. Enna Trevis passed
from the parlor up to the nursery,
where her young sisters lay in the
sweet sleep of innocence and hap
piness. After pressing kias after
kiss upon their lips, her tears fell
upon tbe golden curls of her three
year old pet Ola, then turning the
key once more upon her sorrow, she
stepped mto the carriage. She or
dered .Richard to drive to town and
to the depot.
"Hurry, Richard ; so as to be back
in time to meet the steamer, when
father arrives.''
Tbey reached the depot in time
amid the crowd and unnoticed
Enna took her seat in the sleeping
car for Baltimore, from thence to
Washington, iu answer to ao adver
tisement in the paper for a teacher.
The steamer which bore Mr. Trev
is and bis bride to tbeir home,
ploughed the waves as they dashed
madly agaiust its ironbound sides,
but they were together and Bearing
the haven of rest and love. What
cared they for wind and storm?
There was calm within perfect
rest.
"We fire nearly home, my Ellen ;
one more hour. I grow impatient
as tbe time approaches, to clasp in
one embrace my wife and daughter.
You will love tbe little Rosie and
Ola, too. My darling, I feel that I
do not deserve so much happiness.''
"Yes, indeed, I will love them all.
This beautitul picture of Enna is
very like you. I should love her
for that, if not for her own sweet
self."
Tbe hour passed and iu the pre
scribed time tbe steamer lay oppo
site Mr. Tievis' beautiful country
seat. Soon after they were landed
and seated in tbe carriage. It was
not until they bad started for home,
that Mr. Trevis inquired :
"They are all will at home, Rich
ard ?'7
"Yes, sir j and Miss Eorta bade me
give yoa this letter before she left.''
"Left ? Where has she gone ?"
"I do not know ; she left on tbe
cars this evening sir. She said the
letter would tell you.''
"I suppose that will explaioe it,"
and with the hand of his wife clasp-
J ed in his own, he buried tbe bitter
I disappointment in bis breast, and
waited bis arrival borne to solve
tbp mvatprv. Then in the nniet of
his sanctuary tbey rend it together.
"Forgive me, my father ! My preN
cious fattier! My heart ;s broken,
and I long tor the rest of the grave,
IteeltbatI have taken a step f
which you will nor approve, but,
God helping me, I must carry it out,
I could not call her mother. That
name is sacred to an angel. There
was no other I could give your wife
without disrespeet to jou. I shall
hear of her, and nhall learn to love
her, as she is kind to you and mv
dear little sisters. I shall not want;
I have money, of which your liber,
ty has so bountifully supplied me.
With ray education I shall make a
living. Ob, it I only could kiss you
instead of this painted jvory, I
would fie willing to give yoi up and
die. God blesp you both, dear,
darling father, and make you hap

"It grieves me t have brought
this great sorrow upon jou, Elfprd'
She must be found ' Ob, my darling!
We must search fr her, and I will
teach her to love me.''
"It has come wilh a crushing
force, but I have you, my own wife
to help me bear it. All shall be
well yet. Yes, we must search for
her, and woo her back to her nest
before her flight shall have gained
publicity.''
Tuns they went to wotk hand in
hand. The shadows of evening fell
across tbe fire-liabted room of a
city home. A lady, seated within
tbe glow of its genial warmth, held
a book iu her band, but she did not
appear to be reading, as ber
gaze

remained fixed upon the fire.
reverie was broken by tbe entrance
of a girl ot ten years.
'Excuse me for interrupting you,
Miss Sivert. Mother has sent me
to beg that you will bo kind enough
to come down and play for El tie ;
she has one ot her nervous attacks,
Dr. Olde says we muse humor
iier."
"Certainly, 1 will come with
pleasure," she said, atid, arising,
she followed to the parlor, where
seated around the sofa of au inva
lid child, Colonel and Mrs. Benton
and the family physician, Dr.
Clyde. With a willowy grace and
elegance which was peculiar alone
to Enna Trevis, whom the reader
will have recognized, she acknow
ledged the introduction to Dr.
Clyde ; then took ber seat at the
piano. Strain after strain of soft
liquid music floated through the
room, which soothed and calmed
the restless child more than all the
doctor's opiates.
"Who is she, Mrs. Benton ?'
"The governess of my daughters,
doctor.''
' Excuse me ; what is her name,
aud where is she from V-
"'Ah ! I see ; you, like ourselves,
hav become interested iu her. Col.
Benton and I fear that she has seen
some great sorrow ; while Janie and
Ettie think her some princess iu dis
guise. She answered our advertise
ineut for a governess, and more than
fills the position. Dear little Ettie
clings to hr, aud she alone can
soothe these nervous attacks. Her
grace and gentleness, united with
the sweetness of her face, touch me
to the soul. I would gladly draw
from her the cause of her sorrow,
but a certain reticence of manner
repels anything which would lock
like curiosity. Anne Sivert is her
name. I do not know wfcere she is
from, and she has beeu with us a
mouth ; her letters were post-marked
from Richmond. You have not
heard her sing ? Her voice is music
itself. Ettie, will you not ask Miss
Annie to sing your favorite song,
'Kathleen M;-vourneen ? ' '
Enna complied with her request,
and even surpassed herself. Song
after sons was called for, and still
they could not see the effort it cost
the weary, sorrowing girl, not did :
they relax tbeir assiduity (not un
kindly meant), until Ettie begged
that sbe would sing an old song,
sung so often with the dear old
parents, one in tbe grave, the other
seperated by ber own act, perhapSj
forever, by hisjust resentment. She
tried oue bar, and sang "The dear
est spot ou earth to me is home ;"
then, growing sick and faint, sue!
turned from the piano, saying,
"Not now, Ettie ; another time, dear
child," and bowing she left the
room. After reaching her owu, she
locked to door, and, throwing her
eU upon the sofa, she gave wajjto
the most bitter tears she had shed
since her mother was taken from
her. Toor Enna ! homeestckuess.
neart-nKDess huu sucu erusr ui
utter lonleness came over her, which
she, with the pride and fortitude
could not throw off.
Dr. Clyde lelt soon alter Eona
and with him the sweet image of
her sad face, the sound of the pa
theiic voice, so full of unutteied
weeping.
"She has suffered ; she still suff
ers. If EUen were only here ; she
would win her to tell her grief. J
will write to her,"
While the doctor i:i in his office
penniug the letter, I will tell tbe
reader of the youug physician who
came to the Capital fivo jears pre
vious to the time of which we speak.
Unknown, save by Col. ai;d Mr?.
Buton, be ferrad little to occupy
Lis time, and his office house re
mained unbrokou, except now and
then by a chanty patient, and
tbn gs vvent on thus for more than a
month, when, one day, a rumoi
went abroad that a pestilential fe-
ver had broken out iu the city ; tbej
next, it was talked about openly at
the corners of the street. The doc
tors wer3 seeu in every direction.
In the haunts of tbe lowly aud poverty-stricken
abodes Dr. Clyde
would went his way, ana, as though
the magic of healing were his to
give, the angel of death was stayed
at his touch, and the sweet sleep of
reluming consciousness visited his
patieuts. Soon his fame went
abrond, and, from that time, Dr.
Clyde's name became a household
word in many homes, both lowly and
lofty. Possessed of many manly
virtues, and
a handsome face and
form, be did uot fail to attact tbe
attention of the fair sex ; but, hav
ing reached the ace of thirty, he
still seemed as much devoted to the
"Sister E'len,"' to whom we left him
writing, as ever. A part of bis let
ter ran thus :
"I am sorry, dr-ar E len, you could
not accept tbe invitation of our uiu
tul friend, Mrs. Benton, but I
suppose your new duties and ties
are sufficient excuse. I feel like
quarreling with Mr. Trevis for
cheating ns out of this visit. We
need your presence-sadly, dear sis.
Mrs. Benton has staying with her
in the capacity of gc verness, a lady,
who interests ns very much. She
is beautiful, graceful, and dignified,
and yet such an ineffable sadness
veils her sweet face as to make it
painful to look at her. She is so
reserved that, as yet, none ha3 bad
an insight into her 'holy of holies-'!
If you were ouly here, I know you
could cheer and soothe her. Her
name is 'Anne Sivert' tbe name
does not correspond with ber face
and general deportment,''
Day afrer day found Dr. CIvde at
the house of Mrs. Benton. Ettie's
ill health demanded bis constant
attendance. In visiting Ettie be
found ample opportunity of observ
ing tbe growing paleness and ian
gour of her chosen friend and con
stant companio". With genuine
grief he saw the roses fade from the
cheeks of Enna, and her step grow
more feeble day by day. A month
ot constant intercouise had not les
sened bis respectful admiration for
ber, atid he was the only oue she'
knew in that vast city except tbe
dear friends she bad made in her
lonliness Colonel aud Mrs. Benton,
and the two children.
Coming in one day, he found her
alone with Ettie. After speakiDg
to the child, be turned to her:
"Mrs. Benton has requested me
to take your case in hand. How are J
you to-day ?''
"I am quite well," she replied, jbe replied,
"with tbe exception of a headache.''! iQu no; jt m evening, and I came

"I, do not need either, and prefer

"Still, I insist upou if. My bugging brightly: bow it bams my

iue p
"Thank you : I prefer walking if
I must do either."
"Well, 1 wiil stay here with E'.iie
until her mother come?, so hurry, or
you will have a snowstorm to bat -
tie with."
Enna was soon equipped and
started out. At firt ber step was
j -' , c v ..m. VIJ, out, i'
j ness cf the air gave Ur new life and J nger. My own mother has come
elasticity She walked toward ihe i from Heaven to plead for me. It is
cemeteiy, not once thinfcing of ih.iyour own child, Enna. Kiss me,
distance, Soon little flakes of snow 'mother," and as the step-mother's
began to fall, and turning to retrace
her steps as rapidiy as she could,
with her veil dowu and her eyes on
the ground, she did cot observe Dr.
Civ tie's approach until he spoke to
ber.
'You have taken more of a walk
than I int tided. Take my arm and
wa'k mote slowly, you are panting
for breath. Why did you walk to
the cemetery upon so gloomy an
evening ? It is sad enough, at
best."
"The place and weather eorrfs
poud with my feelings. 1 should
dwell among the tombs."
"What is this great grief which
clouds your life ! Tell me," he sa;d.
'Tell you ? Why should If I am
able to bear it aioue.'
"Because it is killing you. Have
I watched you, day by day, grow
thin, and your eyes heavy with
crushed tears? I cannot stand it,
because I love you. I have never
told another woman this. You are
tbe only one in the world tome,
and I cauuot see yon tile. Be my
wife, and we will share each others
joys and sorrows."
The one ray ot exquisite joy which
brightened her beautiful, sad eyes,
made his great heart bound for one
brief second, then withdrawing her
sell from him, she exclaimed :
"You must not ; you cannot, Dr
Clyde. I am not what I seem. Oh !
why did you tell this 1 I am
miserable, indeed.'' And just then,
arriving at the door, she sprang up
the steps and hastened to her own
room.
Dr. Clyde would have turned and
walked awar, but tor Janie, who
ran our, exclaiming :.
"Oh ! Dr. Clyde, Aunt Ellen has
come, an! sbe is looking all about
for you."
Soon he clasped the dear sister fo
liis heart, and with a "thank God
you have not come too late," lie
turned away and would have left
her, but sbe laid her hand upon his
arm.
"What is it that troubles you.
Clinton V
"Go to her, sister ; the young girl,
sick, suffering, broken-hearted, but
as pare as au aDgel, alone up-stairs.
! Mrs. Benton does not know bow
jsick she is.''
Not so much in his words as in
j the far oft depth cf his daik eyes,
j she read the story of "hope denied."
Unclasping a jeweled miniature
j from her watch-chain, she handed
'it to him.
! "Have you ever seen the original
of !"
"How did you get this ? It is a
speaking likeness of Miss Anne
Sivert.'
"Spell her name backward and
you have the name of my step
daughter, Enna Trevie- She left
her falhei's home rather than meet
a step mother. I must win her
love tiefore she finds me out."
"God grant it. Who ever knew
you without loving you V
"Ah ! I nee ou are as blind as
ever ; but come. I mast let Carro
and Col. Benton into our secret"
Tbe snow fell tbick and fast,
but iioua lay unconscious of the
.storm; tbe moaning did Dot cease
nor did she appear to notice the en
trance of Mrs. Benton.
"Dear Miss Anne what is the
matter ? '
"I do not know. Is it morning V
IJ,1I au" A wa,Jl J uu iv.v.mii
acquaintance. 7
Yes ; I will come. Is she at the
cemetery ! Dr. Clyde said it was
gloomy there ; but the sun is shin-
liLy down, my child.
I fear you
f are very sick.
j All that night they watched beside
jber bed Mrs. Benton, Dr. Clyde,
j the rejected step-mother. All
j night ber lips gave utterance to the
thoughts of ber active brain.
"Father, dear fatter, do not turn
'away from me;
it is breaking my
heart to see you turn from me in
lips pressed hers, as a tear fell upon
her parched brow.
"Do angels weep, mother T I
thought God wiped all tears from
their eyes. I am so tired, bo tired.
Rork me to sleep, mother."
When the morning light stole in
to the darkened room, Enna lay in a
deep sleep, with one hand clasped
in her mother's, while sbe bathed
her brow with the other.
"Keep her asleep, EMeo. I must
ride around and see my patient,
but I will be back sood,''
Dr. Clyde turned to go.
' Clinton shall I write her father
of her situation f
'On, no! Before he can receive
the letter she will hare passed the
crisis. 1 trust this sleep will resalt
iu good ; save him the anguish aDd
suspense. Watch her, sister, close
ly.'' The morning passed, and still Eu
n slept ; the evening closed, and ber
slumber remained unbroken.
It whs beyond the hour of mid
night. Dr. Clyde sat on one side,
Mis. Trevis on th3 other, when she
opened her eyes. The old, sad,
weary look bad passed away, and a
sweet gentle smile lighten tbem.
Dr. Clyde spoke to her, telt her
pulse, ;nd turning to his sister, oe
said, "She is much better; I will
leve her with yon now, and go into
thewnext room,and take a few hours'
rest.
Mrs. Trevis arrarged her pillows,
administering a soothing draught,
and resumed her station by the bed.
Enna watched her for some time,
until she took her seat, then she
said, "Yon are very kind. Who are
you r
"I am Mr. Benton's earlv frieod
and schoolmate. llav yoa never
heard Carro speak of Mrs. Weldon!''
"I think I have beard tbe name,
but I cannot, remember. It is very
kind of you to watch beside me
Have I been very sick?''
"Yes, Dr. Clyde feared yoa
woutd have brain fever, bat 1 am
thankful that the symptoms have
passed away. God has been very
good to you, dear child; He has
saved your life."
"Have I been so near death, and
away from my dear father Mrs
Weldon, I left my borne because I
feared to meet my stepmother- It
was very sinful ; do you think my
father can forgive me!"
"Ob, yes. my child. Why should
he not ? You have suffered."
"Oh, I have, I have! But I will
go to my dear father, and I will try
to make my stepmother love me.'
"You must sleep now ; we will
talk more to-morrow, when you are
better. Yoa mast go home with
me, and I will take vou to yoar fa
ther." "Thank you, dear Mrs. Weldon ;
ou are too kiod to me, an utter
stranger."
Not at all a stranger; I have
beard of you. Dr. Clyde is my
orotber, and Mrs. Brenton my ear-
I lv friend."
So. weary aud drowsy from the
opiate, Eona slept again. With
the morning, came Dr. Clyde,
"We can take ber home Clinton,
in a short time tM Mrs. Trevis ask
ed. "Yes, in three or four days,'1 he
replied.
"And yoa will go along with nsT"
"1 fear not; my patients require
ray attention."
"Dear Clinton, you must; Elfort
wiil be so much disappointed.
There are other physicians to whose
cre you can leave yoar pattens.''
"Well I will see what I can do.'
Again the steamer bound for tbe
eastern shores of Virginia, plongn
ed the deep ; but this time the
sunbeams played merry pranks a
saiost those iron bound sides, at
they were ever anon chased back
j an(j torth by the laughing waters.
Enna Trevis lay in a spacious state
room. Dr. Clyde sat by ber side,
