University of South Carolina Libraries
THE GRAY MO-MC. I CONTINUED. I We left the library, and the hext morning Father Pani cdnduoted me over the rest of the monastery. I could not fail to be struck with the air of dilapidation and decay it pre? sented. "You may well wonder at what you see," he remarked, notioing my surprise. "Your illness has prerout? ed you from hitherto observing what strikes a stranger at once upon enter? ing tho monastery of the Groy Monks. It is cursed of Heaven," he continued, solemnly, "for a deed of treachery and blood, perpetrated by one of the brethren, many, many years ago. Since then nothing has prospered hero. Repairs have been vuuiuienced, but have always been stopped from some cause or other, and now they are never attempted. The building must perish, if such is tho will of Heaven. lu the meantime, I will do what. I can to preserve the library and the collection of rare manuscripts intact. Nol never again shall this monastery flourish! It is usually only those who have commit? ted great crimes, who resort hither to a life of austerity to expiate them. But do not look upon me as one of their number; for though, in tho sight of Heaven, I am as foul a sin? ner ns any, yet have I been preserved from open, heinous transgression. It is my vocation here to minister to th oyo who have. Hence our strict rules, our solitary vigils." I saw the subject was a painful one, and did not choose to pursue it further. There was some mystery I longed to fathom, but tho time did not seem to have arrived; perhaps, before I left, I might hoar the whole story. I resolved upon a harmless subterfuge-to remain a day or two longer, and ungratefully declined getting well as soon as I might other? wise have done, had I been in a hur? ry to leave my mountain retreat. The monastery consisted of but two stories, as is the caso generally with buildings erected upon great heights. After exploring in the principal part, we descended into the main corridor. Looking V ohind mo, I recognized the door which led tr the refectory, and still further ofl another flight of stairs, which appear cd to lead into the upper story of the building. I had not yet traced the ~whole of this passage. My guide having left me at the library door, tc follow my own devices until the din ner-hour, I wandered along, deter mined to see what was at the extreme end of it. After winding about foi some distance, I suddenly came tc its termination; here it branched out and became much broader. Upoi jny left hand was a door, whicl -opened into the grounds of the mo nustery ; to my right another High of stairs, leading to a gallery, whicl -crossed the whole width of the pass age. At either end of this gafier was a door, the one on the righ hand, the other on the left. I no\ heard a soft foot-fall advancing be hind, and looking round, a littl startled, saw the Prior approaching He said, with some embarrassment which I could not help observing "I heard the direction you took, am remembered that I had not showei you the door which leads yon to who used to be the gardens. They ar now hardly worthy of that name; bu you may like to explore them." also felt confused, thinking ho migli consider me inquisitive, and said apologetically : "Pardon my curiosity. Father, : seems uncalled for; but I was not, frankly confess, at thismoment tbiul ing of tho gardens. I do feel inte rested about yonder gallery; you di not show it to me. 1 am fond of e: ploring." He turned a shade pale but replied, in a tone of assume cheerfulness: "Ah! well-that can be left for ti day. Como back with me to tl library. I have a rare Coptio mani script to show you." So he allure me away. I forgot everything eli for a time when conversing with hie and tho mysterious gallery passe from my recollection. But in tl night, as I lay awake, listening to tl dismal moaning of the wind, to tl brunches of the trees swaying bac wards and forwards, and strikir against my casement, I nguiu thong of it, and was resolved to make 01 moro effort to visit it before my d parturo. The morning dawned, wet ni gloomy. "Departure was not to 1 thought of," the Prior said; and ev? Fra Giralama, tho brother who hi opened to me the door of this hosp able abode, echoed, by a faint smil the invitation tr, remain villi tnt two more days. In the evening, the Prior i formed me that the next day won be a strict fast. Every brother, i eluding himself, would pass it up his bare knees, eaoh in his own ce At first I made up my mind to qi the monastery then, as the Pri would not bo able to see me t whole day; but upon second thoug decided to wait, in hopes of an e portnnity for exploring the gall-ji The Prior hud not refused to all mo to visit it, though he had offei to show it to me himself, and I v too fearful of being denied, to i him again upon thc point. How still and deserted the build? ing appeared to me the next morn? ing, as ray solitary foot-steps echoed along the stone corridors. But the brethren had not forgotten my. break? fast, though each had retired to the solitude of his own coll. The rain was still descending iu torrents, and every mountain was blotted out in a dense mist. However, after getting thoroughly warm, and eating a good breakfast, I resolved to lose no more time in exploring the mysterious gallery. Accordingly I rose, and proceeded to the end of the corridor. All still and deserted, it seemed like a houso of the dead; the only Bounds being the pattering of the rain and the lugubrious wailing of the wind, which sounded like some unearthly requiem. CONCLUDED IN orrn yv.TT'. A Great Spring and Summer IS VI C?OR AXOR AND RESTORER. NOW 18 THE TIME TO CLEANSE OUT those. PERILOUS SPOTS, Pimples, corrupt sores, which POLLUTE the LIFE of tho BLOOD, and render your body a loatheaotno thing. They aro tho precur? sors of a diseased blood, and will assume a much more formidable shape if allowed to go on unchocked. Tho QUEEN'S DE? LIGHT, the only real blood purifier that has over been invented, as thousands will to-day attest, is offered to thc afflicted au a positive remedy for all diseases flowing from a vitiated condition of tho Bvatom. THE LIFE OF THE FLESH ?S PURE BLOOD. Upon this theory alono tho in? ventor of the Queen's Delight establishes the groat hygienic law, WITHOUT PURE BLOOD NO FLESH IS FREE FROM DIS? EASE. The Palo and Shrunken Forms, Yellow Facoa. Weak Stomachs, Diseased Livers: Crippled Rheumatics. Nervous Hypochondriacs, Dyspeptic Victims of Headache, so common in this country, is owing cntlrelv to tho humors of the blood. Very many other diseases may bo traced to bad* blood, Scrofula or King's Evil, Erysi? pelas, Exanthema or Elevure, a rash or eruption on females; Blotches, Tetter, Goitre or Swelled Neck, Syphilis and Sy? philitic Sores, 8trumou*a Ulcers, Ac. These cannot bo cured without purifying tho blood. Now as to the romedy. There is no other blood purifier that will accom? plish such positivo and extraordinary cures as Hciniteh's Queen's Delight. You may take a barrel of extract Sarsaparilla, and still you will not he cured; and, as a proof of it, look around and you will observo the country, throughout its length and breadth, is flooded with compound Sarsa Earillae, extracts and syrups, claiming to e blood purifiers, and yet we see to-day more evidence of impurity of the blood than ever. Why is thb;? Simply because these extracts and Sarsaparillas aro worth? less medicines. Tho Queen's Delight is a now compound, and is now the great blood medicine; sanc? tioned by the profession, patronized by tho highest dignitaries of the land, endorsed by everybody. In the brief period of twelve months, over 3.000 cases have been treated so suc? cessfully as to entitle it to he the wonder of the age. For debility, prostration, nervousness, mental depression, impaired digestion. loss of appetite, restleuness, want of vital force. Low opirite; it is more invigorat? ing and strengthening than all the com? pounds of bark or bitters. Aa a liver invigorator, it is of inestimable value. As a stimulant, it is safer and surer than all the rum and whiskey tonics of the day, and if you value your life and health a flin's fee, avoid these quickening stimu ants to the grave and use the Queen's Delight. Ask for Heiuitsh's Queen's Do light. This is not the Extract of Stellin gia or Queen's Delight, nor is it a Com? pound Syrup of Queen's Delight, or Sarsa ?urilla and Queen's Delight, but simply [einitsh's Qneen's Delight is the trade mark. Aak for this if you want to be cured, and seo that the namo of E. H. Heinitsb ?B on the wrapper. Prepared only bv E. H. Heiuitsh. Wholesale agents, FI8HER A HEINITSH, April 18 j_ Columbia, 8. C.

Currency and Bx? change. Tho currency of the ?nited States is denominated decimal currency, the dollai (represented thoa ft) being tho unit; and on this basis all calculations are made. One dollar consists of 100 cents, and each cent of 10 mills, and may bo written either $1 or $1.00, or $1.00.0, though this latter form ls somewhat unusual. Bo, again,' "one hun 1. .J dollars" ia written $100, or $100.00, as may bo preferred: but where the two ciphers are added, as in the latter case, they must bo prefixed by the deci? mal point. The nee of this will oe obvious in the following illustration-say, ono hun? dred dollars and twontw-nve cents, which is written $100.25, and eo on, for any amount. The dollar formerly in use was tho Spa? nish dollar, .(in silver,) the value of which was 4s. Gd. sterling. Thia was taken and han since been and still is used as tho basia of exchange; and to this cause may be attributed most or much of the mis? conception as to American exchange. If $1 bo WOlHh 4K. od., what is the value in dollars of ?1, or 20a.? 4*. lui. - 1 h shillings. 20 40 Then - -4.44 4, or 4 dois, ll cents, 4} 9 and 4-10 of a coht, or 4 mills. Now, supposing the standard of Ameri? can currency to bo atill tho Spanish dol? lar, it is clear that $4.14.4 would represent nt par tho value of ?1 sterling. But that standard has been changed-first, hy a United States Bilver coinage, and then by a gold oho; so that now tho par value is about 9.V uer cent, above $4.44.4, or $4 80 per ?. Uenoo, when exchango is quoted, say 1U9J to 110 in New York, it is about par-i. e., it is just as profitable to buy exchange at that price for a remittance aa it is to Bend gold. If tho price bo 111 to 112, it would pay expenses, and 1 per cent, to 2 per cent, in addition, to send gold; but if below 109$, thero would bo loss in shipping gold. All exchange is calculated upon a gold basia, but at the present time the usual business of tho United States is transact? ed in currency. This has to be taken into account in settling any prico quoted from there, or Bending remittances for pay? ments; and this ia done in tho following manner-for instance: What is ?100 worth in currency, with oxchange, say, at 109$, and gold at 40 per cent, premium? ?1-444.44. Therefore, ?100-444.44. And 444.44 at 1091-$486.65 in gold. Which, at 40 per ce'ut. premium-$6.81.31 in currency. Tho samo process gives the true result, let the rate or exchange and premium on gold vary as they may. And, vice versa, to find the valuo of a given amount of cur? rency in sterling: A in New York wishes to pay B in Lon? don tho value of $8,600 currency in ster? ling. Gold ia 136, and exchange 108$. How many pounds, shillings and pence must he send him? $4 44.4 at 108* gives, say, $4.82.2 in gold. Which at 36 prom.-$6 558 per ? sterling. $8,600 Therefore,-?1,311 7s. Od., amo't $6.558 to bo remitted. And eo again: What ia the value in sterling of $1,000 in United States 5-20 bonds, when quoted at 111A in New York, with gold at 131 and oxchange 108? Price of bonds-lili, i. e., 11$ premium. Then $1,000 at lil premium-$1,115. $4.444 at 108-aay, $4.80 in gold. Which at 34 prom-$6.432 per ? sterling. $1,115 Therefore,--?173 7s., value of $6 432 $1,000 in .sterling. The difficulty to be overcome by those inexperienced will be with regard to the decimal pointe, in multiplying and divid? ing; but the working of one or two ex? amples, and bearing in mind what the numbera represent, will fully obviate this. By noticing the prices of exchange" and gold quoted daily in tho papers, a correct answer to any query as to exebango can at once bo wrought out by tho above. As all articles of American produce are quoted in currency, this calculation muat bo made to determine the cost in sterling; and as thc premium on gold and the rate of exchange aro constantly varying, (though the latter to a much less extent,) any ono wishing to know the value of any commodity from thence must make fresh calculations almost daily to iuaure exact? ness.
