The sun had gone down in a blue of splen- dor, and now a grateful breeze came sweep- ing across the Mediterranean, refr- shing alike to tho parched earth and the hundreds of pedestrians who were leisurely strolling along the public volubly, as only foreigners cm chatter, with many gestlculstiors and shrugs of shoulders and uplifting of funds, interspersed with pools of light musical laught r. It was a picturesque scene, for Marseilles is essentially cosmopolitan in character, and almost every European nationality was re- presented among tho gay througers of the fashionable promenade. Life seemed made but for enjoyment, one would have thought, watching the animated eager faces of these children of the South ; at any rate, all care was forgotten for the moment. On the balcony of the Hotel d’Albert sat a lady whose exceeding beauty was notice- able even here, where good looks are the rule and not the exce ticu. She had be 11 reading; but the boo lay face downwards on her lap now, and she was regarding the moving misses below with some amusement.

And then she sighed, she could hardly have we planed for what reason. Was it fancy, or did the beautiful girl at boy. The tree planted by Dr. Livingstone her side echo the sigh?

Of course, Miss Mainwaring, I am only a humble companion, and can hardly be expected to have a voice in the matter.

" amongst strangers ; and I am quite ready tel â€"â€"io accompany you to Mldhurst, if you wish it." Geraldine took the trembling little hand in her own and pressed it reassuringly.

Geraldine had a hot passionate nature and was intolerant of all meanness an'i deceit. She could notâ€"as she herself saidâ€" love af- ter she had ceased to esteem; and sort was that the wound which the knowledge of her cousin's faitblessness had inflicted had born long ago healed. With Dolly Jarvis it was different; she was gentle and simple as a child, with loving, clinging ways; and even â€"as in her father's caseâ€"when she hated the sin, she went on lovin the sinner. It was something of a shoe to her to find that Geraldine could thus speak calmly on a subject the bare mention of which'had still power to bring a thrill of exquisite anguish to her heart. That conversation was attended with one good effect. Geraldine had hitherto never mentioned to Daily any of the homo~nsws contained in her aunt's frequent letters to her, instinctively guessing that the sin shrank from all allusion to the place where the tragedy of her life had been enacted; but now she began to read little extracts from her voluminous correspondence. At tint Dolly listened apathetically ; but one day, when Tom Larkiu's name was men- tioned in connection with some heroic deed, the giv l's attention was visibly aroused. “He must be a fine fellow indeed,” Geral- dine said, as she finished reading the account of how, at the risk of his own life, the brave lad had dashed through a burning casement and saved two children from what would otherwise have been a horrible fate. “ The name seems familiar to me. Ab, now I ro~ collect ! This same Tom Lsrklus, no doubt, was your father's apprentice ; was he not? ' she added, locking up and noting with plea- f'ure the little eager smile that parted Dolly 's rps. “ Yes ; poor Tom !" She sighed as she spoke ; but Miss Malnwariag wisely forbore to question her further. . Tney lingered on in the balmy South for another month, and then one day in early antramn the travellers set their faces horne- war s. It was with mingled feelings that they stopped once more on to the platform of the little familiar station at‘pdidhurst. Percy Braithwaita’s handsome figure stood out prominently among those who had assembl- ed to greet the returning Wanderers, and, after giving Dolly Jarvis a pleasant nod and smile, he drew Geraldine s arm within is own with an air of proprietorshlp that infinitely amused that youn lady, who had by no means as yet ma 9 up her mind to accord him the privileges of a favoured suitor. The companion fell silently behind ; and, for the first time since her orphanage, the utter desolation of her situation fell upon her almost crashing her by its force. A lit- tle sob rose involuntarily to her throat, and she was raising her hand hastily, as if to choke it back, when it was suddenly seized by a great brown palm and held fast and firmly, whilst a strangely familiar voice murmured a hearty “ Welcome home !" in her ears. And at the sound of those deep friendly tones, the clasp of the strong band, the lock in the frank blue eyes, Dolly was comforted. St. Jude’s balls were chiming merrily, and Midhurst was in a state of hustle and excitement. Not even the fatal tragedy which had occurred eight years ago, nor the more substquont event of the black- smith’s confession had caused so much pub- lic interest asthe double weddiv-g which was ab-rutt.» take place in the little country church, True, the brides worn in a very diiliereut station in life ; but it would have been difficult to know to which to award the aim of merit.

Geraldine Mainwaring had taken the fatherless girl abroad with her as soon as she had sufficiently recovered from that long inful illness which had succ eded Adam firvis s death; and, as if in atonement for her past unjust suspicions, she had assidu- ously devoted herself to the task of rousing the girl from the dull apathy into which she had fallen, and which threatened at times even to cloud her intellect. Her unwearled attention had been rewarded with success. Dolly, if no longer the lighthearted, merry little maiden who had attracted the reckless young officer's rcv ing fancy, was a sweet -1 could no: be" u, go and gentle, if a trifle s d~eycd, girl, whose intellect, notwithstanding all she had suf- fered, was as bright and vigorous as of yore.

Percy's fidelity had had its reward in the end, for, during this last year, Geral- dine had grown to believe that llfo could offer her no greater happiness than that which would fall to her lot as her cousin's wife.

The recent robbery of the 'I\rrin Armory causes the London Standard to review the many similar crimes committed in the past in England and other countries. The story of Colonel Blood, who all but managed to make ed with the English crown jewels from the Tower, ls so well knowntbat it need only be referred to. But there are several other installers less known, though scarcely less peculiar. Nearly 600 years ago the great treasury in Westminster Abbey was cleared of some of the most valuable of its contents, the sacristau and several of the monks noting in complicity with certain thieves outside the wall. Some of the ob- jects were never recovered ; but the richness of the booty hampered the robbers so much that when the chief of them was captured £2,000 worth was found in his possession. So carefully was the robbery planned that the rogues sowed the graveyard with hemp in order that four months later it might serve to conceal the proceeds of the burglary. This crop, it may be added, was utilized for quite a difi‘erent purpose. In 1440 the Re- public of Venice narrowly escaped being plundered of its vast hoard of valuables by a man named Staminato, who, af tor secreting lhimself behind an alter in the cathedral, " You city folk never can feel at ease : No wonder you have the blues : While I am tending my cattle and bees.

Night after night he removed objects of value, and there seems little doubt that ‘he might ' have escaped with his booty had he not been tempted to show one of his countrymen the ducal cap of the Doge, which he had just conveyed to his lodgings. This misplaced confidence led to his apprehension with more than :2 000,- 000 ducats in his possession. Anne of Don- m’ark, Queen of James VI. of Scotland, was robbed by her maid of pearls, and other val- uables under the plea that the-.s jewels were taken to dress dolls for the royal children.

As for the Duke of Brunswick notwithstanding the elaborate precautions which he took to koeep his dia- monds, he was plundered more than once, and to the scandal of legitimacy, some of Don Carlcs' orders went astray in a peculiar . manner. Charles I helped himself to the contents of the jowolhouse when funds failed, and Charles II. immediately after his acces- sion, issued a proclamation commanding all persons in whose possession thcro were any of the crown jewals sold by the Common- wealthto restore thorn to their rightful own- ers. But, though several persons were sr- . rested for not doing so, the scattered valu- ables came in so slowly that a new rcgalia became necessary. Edward III. pledged his crown and jewels to the merchant of Fland- ers, and Henry V. put his disdem in pawn to the Abbot of Westminster In order to raise funds to carry on the war with France.

Earlier in the season a nest thus discovered with a good setting of eggs is bet‘ ter left alone. A brood of chickens ll more desirable than eggs to sell at low prices. Now the e s are worth more than late- hatched ch ckc us would be, esp cia y of the less hardy breeds. It is desirable to find some method of determining whethrr the eggs are good. We know non: better than rolling a paper in a cone shape, placing the egg in the large end, and looking through it at the sun. If it shows clear. the egg is good, no matter how discolored the shells may be from rains or down. Au egg should never be shaken to test its soundness. Do- ing so, even wiih perfectly fresh specimens, breaks the film which separates the yolk from the white. and, running together, the two soon become worthless. Au egg that has been laid b .t a few days will rattle if shaken, from evaporation of the substance of the egg through the shell. Yet, if used at once, th s egg may be per- fectly good. A discolored egg rarely keeps good long ; for almost every one who sees it ivssit a shake lo see if it is fresh or not. his habit of lhakicg eggs to test them should be disconiinued. It at once destroys the vitality of most so shaken, and is the- msin reason why eggs transported long dis- tances asuaUy hatch poorly. A Word to Boys.

The prevalence of small pox throughout New England and Canada at the present time has suggested the above subjlct as a timely topic for our health talk this week. The steps load'ug to the discovery and do- mcnstration of vaccination have now passed into history, and are too well known to re- quire repetition here. Like every discovery which has proved a" blessing *to‘rrianklud,‘ vaccination hss'been obliged to contend with ignorance, superstition and malicious in- trigue est-o I ohdifiicult at any time to find certain persons who" are over ready to set themselves up against any truth. Araome oneth aptly remarked, "Noise and asertion are the stock in trade of such people." Their principle is ths old one, "That a lie well stuck to is as good as the truth." It took yarn, and a large amount of accumulated facts and statistics, to demonstrate conclusively the positive benefits to be derived from such a process as vaccination Although the centennial of its discovery has not yet been celebrated, yet there is no axiom more clear than are the possible achievements of vaccination. To- day the truth of this- statement is admitted by all candid thinkers, and dcnicd only by the wilfully ignorant. In proof of this assertion we have only to note an array of facts gleaned from stand- ard authorities to substantiate this truth. These have been so plainly set forth by an eminent writer that they are here given without change, The conclusions referred to are as follows: “(1.) That this disease, cow pox, causally communicated to man, has the power of row during him unsuscnptible to small pox. (‘2 ) That the specific cow pox alone, and not other eruptions effecting the cow which might be confounded with it, had this pro- j trctive power. (3 ) That the cow pox might be communicated at will from the cow to the hand of man by the hand of the sur- geon, whenever the rtquisito opportunity existed ; and (4 ) That the cow pox once lugraftod on the human subject might be continued from individual to individual by successive transmissions, conferring on each the same immunity from small pox as was I enjoyed by the one first lufcctcd from the P cow.” I Through the lights and shadows of over ihree~quarters of a century these facts have been thoroughly tested, again and again, under almost every conceivable condition. As a result of these investigations it may bu safely stated that with such exceptions as are always allowed in everything, persons who are thoroughly, properly and sufficient- ly vaccinated will not take the small pox. Instances without number can be gathered from medical and other authorities where persons have been successfully vaccinated, and who'hava served as assistants and nurses in small pox hospitals for weeks and months, without the disease. Again, if there is no virtue in vaccination, as some claim, why is it that only a few generations ago small pox was so prevalent and fatal that one in six of the whole po ul- atlon in Europe died of that disease! or- talnly during the past twenty-five years no such record as that can be found in that or . It is true that epidemics have occasionly broken out in dificrent localities cf each, but it is not dlilicult to prove that it was often in those very towns and cities where the claims of vaccination were the least reg .rded, and in some ii.- st races almr st entirely ignored. The question here properly came up for discussion, when and how often shall a or. son be vaccinated. In order to rig tl answer this question, a careful and thorough examination of a large amount of modicnl literature upon the subject has been made. From this study and investigation the fol- lowing deductions are here offered. It is well known that whenever an epid- emic of small pox has occurred, there has always been a larger rate of mortality among the chidreu of a few weeks old to five years of age than among older children and adults. It is therefore logical to nap and ihat a. child should be vaccinated as earfy us ssiblc, cf course other things at the same time being favorable. If a child is strong and healthy he may be vaccinated any time from six weeks to three months old. lint if the child is of a feeble, delicate constitu- tion, or is sickly, then a much longer time is best to elapse. Of course if small pnx should be prevalent in the community it would be necessary to be governed by the surrounding circumstancm. A child thoroughly vaccinated before he is one year old, is protected” from small pm: until h - reaches the age of from twelve to fourteen, provided he has continued in fair health during those years. list if he has been subjected to a longsuccession of severe attacks of illness, rc-vaccinatiou may be necessary several years earlier: At the age of twelve or fourteen a person should again be vaccinated. Subsequent vaccination will de mi largely upon person. al habits, modes 0 living, ocsupation, and sacral-condition of health. Certainly once u fourteen years every one who has not had either small pox or variclold should submig to the protective influence of vaccination. If at that time the vaccination does not tako it should again be repeated within two or three years, for the old inoculation may not have continued to prove effectual. In conclusion, one word with reference to the best means of vaccination. In r- ply we have but one word to say ; that is, use only bovine virus. There are those who make it a business to provide this virus, and the process has been perfected so that now the danger or the possibility of obtaining any but pure matter is reduced to a minimum.
