from her feeble hold. Tired as he was,
and wild and dangerous as the attempt
might be, he did not dare to leave her to
perish. Choosing his time in a lull, he
struck out to the bush, and reached it
Just as her ebbing strength gave way.
He took her in his sturdy arms, and,
clinging with tooth and nail, stayed
them both to their strange anchorage.
Faint, halfconscious, disrobed as she was'
in the sweet, delicate features, the curve
of the lin, and the raven tresses clothed
in sea weed, he recognized the Creole belle
of last nights hop. He cheered and en-
couraged her, pointing out that the storm
was abating-had abated. 1t could not
be long until search boats came, and while
he had strength to live she should share
it, 1t proved true. Generous and hardy
fishers and ships had come at once to the
scene of disaster, and were busy picking
up the few spared by wind and wave.
They found the two clinging together and
to that slight bush and took them of,
wrapping them in ready, tough fisher
mems coats. The reader can see the end
of the story. A meeting so appointed had
its predestined end in love match. SO
we leave it and them; the rest OF their
lives belongs to them, not to us.
The pair found by our fishing-smack
were wealthy planter and his wife. For
nine days of starvation and danger they
had chung together, When think of the
husbands manly care in thus abiding by
the wife, | find it hard to reconcile itwith
the fact that he only valued his life and
hers at few dollars-not enough to COM
persate the traveller for the loss incurred
as demurrage to the fishermen.
Now Last Island is but a low sandy
reef, on which few Struggling fruit trees
try to keep the remembrance of its by
gone beauty. 1t is as bare and desolate
rs the bones of those who filed its halls
in the cataclysm of that dreadful night
bones which now waste to whiteness on
sterile shores or are wrought into coral in
the undersea.

On Saturday evening Sam Dorsey, a
teamster residing in the MenomOnee val
ley, not far from the brickyards that there
abound, unhitched his horse after day s
service in trucking. The animal was
properly stabbed, but an hour afterward
died very suddenly, to the establishment
as well as CONSERVATION Of Sam. Though
his loss was one that pressed him sorely,
his lively disposition did not lead him
into brown study, as would have been
the course with many better provided with
goods and chattels than he. He made
little ado about the uneXpectee dispense
ton Of Providence, and went to the sa-
loon frequented by transfers, as was his
custom When all were jovial cute idea
struck Sam, who is somewhat OF wag as
well as a truckman.
"Boysn said he, "I'll rattle my horse
at 81 a chance if you can get rid Of GER
tain number of tickets this evening"
"Done, SAM" shouted one and all,
ready to venture so paltry sum on the
chance of horse.
Tickets were improvised, and every
caller "roped in" until midnight neared,
when Sam declared the rattle in order,
although few tickets remained unsold.
1t did not take long to reach the result OF
this impromptu gift enterprise, and when
the winner was announced the boys were
boisterous in their congratulations. The
| lucky chap ordered keg of beer set up,
and then followed carOusal in celebra-
| ton Of the event in which none joined
more enthusiastically than Sam Dorsey,
as the reader may be assured.
Next morning the new owner OF BIZ
came to see his prize, but was met by
Sam, who, with w0ful countenance, led
the way to the barn, and pointed to the
PROSTATE animal.
"See it all, Sam! never mind! I'll
| make it all right with the boys!" said the
generous winner; and he did, much to
| the relief of Sam, who was in terrible
| auandary to retain his old-time footing
| with the boys. The horse had died dur
ing the night of course, and Sans
| chums were willing that their money
! should be regarded as donation toward
! establishment of the locomotive force
of his business.
But Sam did not feel at ease with his
ill-gotten means, and met the boys again
| last evening, and latter treat all round, v
explained his adroit ruse. Contrary to
the wag's expectations, the affair caused
great hilarity among his friends. Sam
was voted a I" brick and was Obliged to
raise keg by way of initiation. The
| matinee lasted until late hour, and Blu!
for the fact that one of the party was
housed on Broadway, we would not have
been informed OF the cause Of the jollifica-
| ton, and Sans luck in rafting his horse

LITTLE blue eyes,
Little brown locks,
Little plump checks,
Little low frocks;
Near ms one moment-the next out of sight:
who has heart half so feathery-light,
Who has smile half so babyish-brght

Who can win hearts half so quickly as she?
Who such bright bit of sunshine can be!

SPARE THE HORSE.

q. Transfer spare that horse
How hard he tries to go.
There's load enough for two,
Don't strike another blow.
Give him helping hand,
or ease the load, pray,
And he your kindness will
A thousand fold repay.
How patiently he tolls,
All through the heat and cold,
A faithful servant still,
Though wearied, worn, and old.
Poor. dumb, unconscious brute,
And vet he seems to know,
Caressing oft the hand
That deals the cruel blow
What an imploring look,
And what a knowing eye,
And yet without the power
To utter cen cry.
See how he writhes and shakes,
While smarting with the pain.
Oh. cruel driver, pausel
Don't strike the brute againf
Humanity at last,
Brought to sense Of shame,
Will punish those who give
Unnecessary pain.
Oh. driver. spare that horse,
How hard he tries to go;
There's load enough for two,
Don't strike another blow.

gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied aud
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stiIau-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. InstesS
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedj-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigcrsN,
Its occasional use will prevent ti7t@air
from turning gray or falling oil, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to tho
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
tion of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from these
deleterious substances which mako
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can b. found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
'ong on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
'ustre, and grateful perfume.
