A KNOT or BLUE RIBBON.

The moonlight filled the air with dreamy
haze, and turned the snow on the murmur-
ing waves to silver. The clang of the band
was heard at intervals, minging with the
drowsy roar that came up from the smooth,
white beach. Dora Fofde aud Albert Ellis
stood among the vine-embowed vases at the
end of the piazza.
They were both silent. Dora toyed ner-
vously with her bouquet of pansies, while
Albert looked straight out to sea, and drew
a succession of long breaths, as If he was
drinking inspiration from the air. A trying
moment had come. Albert was about to
propose, and Dora knew It: Neither of
them belonged to fast set, and dozen
previous firtations had not made the situa-
ton hackneyed. vfl..
Dora-my own began the young gen.
tleman.'
ooh. don't +! said Dora tremulously.
Dora, love YOU
The affair was approaching a crisis, when
rustling of stiff silk made itself heard, and
Aunt A mira, approached the pair. Albert
bit his lips. Dora felt like crying.
8 Dora, am surprisedp began Aunt Al
mira, you'll catch your death of cold, 1
declare it is quite chilly
1t isvery pleasant, Aunt-that is
'Oh, no doubt, no doubt returned Aunt
AImira. aarcasticaly, not designing to notice
Albert, but you must come IN
IF Miss Forde had a shawl suggested
Albert, in the delrsive hope that Aunt
Almira might be induced to leave them, in
order to procure that article.
'Thank You for--the idea, Mr.. Ellis,
sweeily spoke the artful Aunt, But would
you be so kind
'Oh, never mind it, said Dora, hastily,
'WeU go in.'
She took Albert's arm, thus forcing Aunt
Almira, with her voluminous skirts, to walk
in advance-for the space between the piazza
railing and the row of flower vases was
rather narrow. ta
Dora whispered Albert, Il must go
back to town tomorrow. Whether my
future life is dark or bright depends on you.
Tomorrow will call; if your aunt is present,
let me know by token. If you love me
give me something to let me know it.
Where's the girls sense?' muttered Aunt
Almira, who had heard every word. 'Why
don't che tell him now, and be done with il? ?
But she shall not, if can prevent her doing
SO. Dora, she said turning, Evelyn Mar
stone is waiting for that quadrille promised
him, and she drew her niece toward the en-
trance of the ball room. Good evening,

Before Dora could answer, she stood amid
the light and music; but her aunt had heard
the last words.

JooD ADVICE TO BOYS AND G1Rrs.
good company or none; never be idle; If youi
hands cannot be usefully employed, attend
to the cultivation of your mild; always
speak the truth; make few promises; live up
to your engagements; when you speak to Z
person, look that person in the face. Good
compahy and good conversation are the very
sinews Of virtue; good character is above ali
things else; your character cannot be essen:
tally injured except by your own acts. If
any one speaks evil Of you, let your life be
so that none will believe It. Drink no kind
of Intoxicating liquors. When you retire to to
bed. think of what you have been doing
during the day. Make no haste to become
rich, if you would prosper; small and steady
gains give competency with tranquility cf
mind; never play at any game Of chaf,ee.
Avoid temptation through fear that you may
not Withstand it. Never run in debt unless
you see way to get out of it again.
A good name is better than riches"
EVIL be to those that evil think ana

Blind me with burning tears, but look beyond

SCANDAL AS A SEDATIVE.


A few evenings siuce, says the Detroit
Free Press, a woman about 20 years old
was anested in the Western District, for
disturtfk the peace, and the event almost
distracA& her, although she had seen the in
side of cell before. She began bowling
and crying as soon as she was locked up,
and Bijah, the janitor of the Nineth Avenue
Station, felt bis heart getting tender. He
cfiered her harvest apple, but she merely
stopped long enough to see what it was. and
then went on crying out: am dying,
know am"
He besought her to live for the sake of
her husband who is away on the lakes, but
she said she would be cold in death before
the mg,Ing if not set atliberty. He showed
her the almanac and tried to get her to pc
ruse it and settle her mind; but she tried to
pull his hair through the bars, and raised
her voice till it could be heard three blocks
away He began reading the almanac out
loud, but she drowned his voice, and be had
to give it up. Then he went out and pur-
chased some peppermint drops and handed
them to her. saying that it was a burning
shame to arrest lady like her for merely
d
shovel. She was quiet for few moments,
and then broke ont again, and the roof of the
station seemed to be raising up. Bijah
offered her a pound of gum-drops, new
bonnet, q black silk dress, house and lot, and
$50, 900 in bonds, if she would quit, but she
danced up and down and yelled:
Lemme eout or shalled di-ah"

the front steps to let her exhaust herself, but
after an hour and ten minutes there being
no cessation, he ran in with an AK on his
shoulder. and threatened to cut her head
right off if she didn't stop. ,l.r
81 won't; I won't; won'tl" she cried,
and then she took fresh start. He drum
med ON the coal-scuttle with the Ak to drown
her voice, but the voice drowned the scut-
tie. He put the hose on the penstock and
threatened to drown her, but she shut her
eyes, and pitched her voice on new key.
The old man was in despair. The men up
stairs couldn't sleep, and people out doors
thought panther had been Gagged. AS the
officer rubbed his bald head and looked
around, his eye lighted on an old paper, and
his smile extended from ear to ear. He
carried it int, drned up the gas, and shouted
"Have You read the Beecher scandal
yet2"
"Read what" she exclaimed, suddenly
ceasing to scream, 3 'Ha s'aT23

ued-'this ere thing that everybody is
talking abott?" - r,sa.'..t'.
"No, where is it?" she asked, and he
passed in the paper, telling her if she would
be good he'd hunt up the rest Of the state
ment in another paper; and from that mo-
ment until daylight the woman never ut
tered a word, except once when she asked if
there weren't seven or eight more papers
with statements in.
