Immediately Cured and full Vigor Restored.
The distressing Alibedon, which renders life miserable
and marriage imPereibill, is the penalty paid by the vic
tims of improper indulgences. Young persons are too
apt to commits:owns from not being aware of the dread
ni consequences that may ensue. Now, who that under
stands this subject will preeeid to deny that the power of
procreation is lost sooner by those fellingiota improper
habits than by the prudent? Besides being deprived of
the pleasure of healthy offspring, the most Melons and de

your death o' cold, as I've often told
you afore, in this damp, unwholesome
place."
The speaker's tall, wiry figure and
clean sunbonnet carried an incisive
meaning with them, well calculated
to put to Bight dreams of whatever
nature.
“I haven't been here long, Aunt
Margot,” said Babette, rousing with a
!lush from her reverie.
"Why, I've been looking for -you
this hour past, 'pears to we. Profile• ;
sor Pebbles has been to the house in
quirin' arter you, and he's coming
again."
Babette did not appear to be exhil
arated by the information. She sat
listless, her foot playing idly with the
dimpling water.
"I'm on *warrant down to the vil
lage," said the busy old woman ; "but
you can run home and tidy up things
a bit, and dress yourself."
"I—l can't. I don't want to see
him."
"La, child, you must'nt be so bash
ful l lie wants to see you. So run along
and smart yourself up."
A school-master and a parson were in
Aunt Marget's eyes two objects of
special reverence.
"But Pm so—so tired," urged Ba
bette with some hesitation.
"Tired !" repeated the old woman,
not unkindly. "I don't know what
has come over young folks now-a-days;
in my time it took something to tire
'em. Well, child, you'll feel better
when you've had a morsel of some
thing, and dressed yourself. Put on
that new white dress for once in a
way, just to please Master Peebles."
"My white dress! Why, aunty,
you're getting extravagant. I want
to save that white dress."
"Tut, tut, child, you ought to be
more grateful—"
"Grateful 1 Aunt Marget, why should
I be grateful to that old snuff-taking
professor? I like him not; I will be to
him no more a pupil." In her excite
ment the girl's words gathered a cer-
MA. faint foreign 'accent, and she
aved her hand with a gesture signi
ficant of utter contempt.
"Why?" she
repeated, her nostrils dilating.
Aunt Marget, nothing shaken by
e wrath she had excited, said,
:tly, "He gave you that dress."
The flushed face grew wUite as the
sea-sand. A gray shadow ,fell upon

he turned away silently !and Aunt
Marget pursued her errand along the
beach.
That dress with its pretty ruffles, its
dainty folds and ribbons, in which
Babette had for once felt young and
lightsome as other girls, and which
she had somehow ascribed to Tom—
she must give up that pretty dream
now. Instead of that she had been
humiliated, a recipient of hateful
favors. Her aunt was tired of her—
her aunt, whose goodness she had
never doubted, tired of her, felt her
burden, and had accepted the assist
ance.of strangers.
"I must go away l" said poor Ba
bette, writhing in her stricken pride,
"but whither Ti,
Sinking down on the old skeleton
boat, she buried her face in her hands.
Aunt Marget, as she was called by
all her neighbors, was a well-known
character in these parts. Her tall,
spare figure, and clean scant calico,
were f amiliar to every one who dwel t
along shore; and a rude sort of respect
was accorded her, notwithstanding
that she ranked among the poorest'of
the poor.
A thorough-going woman was Aunt
Margot, after the New England kype;
angular, thifty, uncompromising; hav
ing not thought of adapting herself to
modern times and ways; having no
misgiving of her fitness for anything
in this world ,or the next ; neithor
hirmillated by bit position nor har
boring'a thought of rising above it.
She cultivated her little garden-patch
with her own horny hands, and in the
sesame eked out her scanty living by
* B og or clams, or the like to
thebig bOtela farther down the shore.

V few friends she had, fewer still

had gone for a sailor. She
lon for a friend, and fate, as it 18
wont, had sent sinister answer to her
prayers in the shape of Professor Pee
bles, the teacher of mathetimstim. This
man made himself odious to the girl
by
mbl his otlicions attentions, whinh her
hue position rendered mote annoy
ing because she was so much in his
power.
Politely, and with as little expres
sion as possible, she hated the profes
sor and mathematics. A big, empty
headed man, with a soul the size of a
cipher, a smart figure, a wig, and a
gold-headed cane ; an elderly man,
who had never attained the beauty
and dignity of age, and never would ;
oh, the learned professor, with all his
arithmetics at his back, could not ren
der any solution of this one humble
siskisu ssbyneps and °Woes& Neither
Euclid nor common dense shed any
light, and he pursued his stupid fancy
until the young girl learned to shun
hie presence with unspeakable an
tipathy.
And here he was seeking her out
again. And she bad accepted a gift
from him, and shone and blushed and
been happy in the rag that her anger
should have burned to ashes. Her
whole nature felt demoralized and
beggared by the thought. But over
all the ruin and desolation the re
membrance of Tom lingered like a
glimmer of sunlight. To go out into
a world which held Tom in it might
not be so utterly desolate, after all.
And so thinking, she stretched her
self out wearily on the boat and fell
asleep.
The twilight faded over the sea,
the long. stretches of sand lost their
yellow lustre, an ominous shadow,
like an east wind made visible,
brooded in the sky—and still Babette
slept.
Slept while the tide came creeping,
creeping, with snake-like silence and
rapidity, farther up the shore, lapping
in the drifts of sea-weed to wash them
ocean-ward again, making an island
of the sand-bank where stood the old
hut.
At last it touched the top of the up
turned shallop, it kissed the bared feet
of the sleeper, and she awoke. Scared
and amazed, she rubbed her eyes and
looked about. On every side a very
ocean seemed to stretch rising, rising,
swayed by a fierce wind, gathering
wrath against the day of wrath, the
blackening on-rushing tempest ! Only
at the back of the hut a slim, thread
like peninsula still stretched a little
way out toward the rocks beyond.
On this penisula at this moment
stood a horseman—a wiry, well
brushed man, angular as one of
Euclid's problems. Babette looked
upon him with wide, startled eyes, as
if she was an embodied nightmare.
"Quick !" he cried. "There's not a
moment to lose. You will have to
ride for your life, or swim. Come,
my pretty one, I've been waiting for
you all the afternoon. Give me one
kiss, and mount here by my side."
Babette shuddered. "You do well
to insult me when no one is near,

assistance. I will wait till the tide
"Falls 1" he repeated, with an un
pleasant laugh, "the tide to-night will
be many a foot over that old hovel.
Come."
There was no answer.
"You are a little fool," Raid the
schoolmaster, violently. "I van com
pel you to come with me. I have you
all in my power now." He stretched
out his hand, but Babette eluded the

he queried.
"If God sends no one else to my
rescue."
"Come, come, that is childish non
sense and stubb ornness.: God has sent
me. You are risking my life as well;
I shall have some ado to reach shore
with this old nag, though he can swim
pretty well. The tide is rising every
minute; there is a great storm coming.
Nobody will see you. Only one . kiss,
and I will bear you in my antlB to
safety."
"I will not give it—no ; not to buy
heaven."
"But you he cried, his face
gathering passion and insolence at
the unaccustomed thwarting of his
will. "It is my duty to save your
life, girl, and I must do it in my own
way." •
A cryof fear and despair broke from
the lipti of Bibette as she looked at
the face confronting her—a face whose
hard and cruel lines a life-long sub
mission to rules and decency bad only
deepened. Those lines, distorted now,
losing the sanctimonious smirk that
was their wont, revealed as on a map,
a very villain.
"God help me!" she said, and turned
to flee—Whither? To fling herself
into the waves and Pe carried out to
the-- great, hungry, depths beyond ?
Death was not a pleasagt thing for a
young ;girl to contemplate—a young
girl full of rosy life, just lifting her
blossom-like head to look at the world.
There was a good deal to love, after
all. in the world, with all its shadows:
and there was Tom. Tom was no
shadow. But Babette did not hesitate
for one instant. She had some of the
old Puritan blood in. her veins, or,
perhaps, some of the old Huguenot—
a stubbornness that had made good
martyrs when need was. She would
have died rather than submit to be
saved by this man.
At that moment, as she turned
away, glancing with despairing and
fearful eyes over the encroaching
waste, a vission seemed to pass before
them ; their blue orbs dilated, gatle ,
ered sudden gleam and light. A little
boat, manned by a single oarsman,
rounded the corner of the island.
The school-master saw it also. He
delayed not an instant, but plunging
with his horse into the seething waters,
made his struggling way toward the
further shore. - For the oarsman was
sailor Tom, and with a cry Babette,
dripping, trembling, sprang into his
outstretched arms.
Tom, with his sun-browned face, his
bronzed . Wattle, with the blue anchor
pricked on the back—Tom was a "born

sailor," as Aunt' Marget had often
declared ; but the lad loved home too,
especially when home meant Babette.
He had come home to tell her good
news; he was to be first mate on his
next voyage. He had lifted the latch
hastily, intending to give her a glad
surprise. Cold disappointment, unex
pected blank ! there he only found
Aunt Marget. just returned by the hill
road, and half distrifught to find Ba
bette still absent. Tom had not staid
an instant. He knew Babette's.haunts
well ; he comprehended her possible
danger. ,
There was a gay supper-party that
night in Aunt Marget's kitchen, and
Tom and Babette sat side by side,
while the storm wept away its fury
without.
"The last stone of that old hut has
gone under by this time, I reckon,"
said Tom, listening.
"Glad of it," was the savage com
ment of Aunt Marget, While she
poured out a hot cup of tea for Babette.
"Crazy old place—no use to nobody ;
and Babette would always be hanker
ing after it and haunting it as long as
it hung together."
"I shouldn't haunt it much after
this, I think," said Babette,. with a
shiver. "I shall have to hunt qp new
places."
"It all comes of your havin' furrin
blood in your veins," added the old
woman, reflectively. "I shall be
skeered now every time you are out of
my sight, an' lookin' after you the
hull blessed time!"
"I can't consent to your being both
ered in that manner, aunty, at your
time of life," said Tom, benevolently.
"I shall take Babette out of your
way next voyage. The vaptain is
willing—and she does need looking
after.”
"Bless my soul !" said Aunt Marget,
lifting up both her hands: "you're in
a hurry, ain't you ? Well, well, I
say nothin' agen it, if Babette 'doesn't
see her way clearer to better herself."
Babette at silent, smiling rosily.
"And, aunty," added Tom, de
murely, "you my cut up that white
dress of Babette's forrillow-slips, if
you choose. I've another for her in
my big wooden chest aboard."
"Babette is too high-sperited to take
a gift from any ordinary mortal,"
said Aunt Marget, curtly, remember
ing with lingering regret her ambi
tious hopes In regard ,to Professor
Peebles.
"This will be her wedding dress, you
know,'' said Tom, "and she won't
want two."
A Boys Composition.
A policeman has good times. He
can wear good clothes, and go where
he likes. I wish I was a policeman,
sl that I could go to all the shows
that come in town. A policeman
likes to fight. When he sees two fel
lers fighting he generally takes a hand
in the muss and the fellows out of it.
The only thing I've got against police
men is, that they keep bad company.
When they see a drunken man in the
street they take a walk with him, and
introduce him to the Judge. Most all
policeman swear. I have heard them
take oaths down in the court room
Some policemen are-big and some are
little. The little policemen are smaller
than the big ones. The policeman at
the cattle-yard is a big one most of the
time. When a feller gets drunk he
thinks he can lick a dozen policemen,
but he most always finds himself mis
taken. Some folks thinks policemen
will steal a watch from a _drunken
man, but they aro mistaken. If a po-'
!iceman wants a watch he goes around
looking for a feller who is drunk, and
when he finds him he shakes him up
pretty lively, and sometimes a watch
falls out on the ground and policeman
picks it up. This is not stealing. The
policemen who walks around nights
are called night watches, because they
find watches nights. The day police
are called patrols because they ,roll
Pat on a wheel-barrow to the station
house when he is to drunk to walk.
Most policemen keep their coats but
toned up for fear of losing their money.
They also wear brass buttons on their
coats, and when they resign cut them
off and sew on black ones. Police
men like to go to balls and eat ham
and wear calico clothes. The reason
why policemen strike their clubs on
the lamp-posts is to give burglars and
rowdies notice to get out the way, as
there is a policeman standing round
who does not want to get shot. I have
seen policemen who had but one eye,
but you could never get on the blind
aide of 'em. Not much. This is all I
know about policemen.
A liquor dealer at Niagara Falls last
week thought to make a hit in the ad
vertising. line by hiring a peripatetic
Hibernian to carry about the streets a
transparency setting forth the good
ness and abundance of his liquors. A
temperanceparty, however, chartered
a boy to follow with a transparency
reading: "Cursed be he that putteth
the cup to his brother's lips." It was
the general conclusion that the boy
behind was ahead of the boy in front.

It is said that bi-sulphite of lime can
be successfully used to prevent the fer
mentation of cider. The manufacturers
of cider, however, do not take kindly
to its use. They let the cider ferment
once, then rack off and throw into each
cask a piece of raw beef. Let us hear
from our readers on this.
