BABETTE.
BY AVBRY MACALME,
CHAPTER I.
M. Vieuxouie—
Ah 1 I am old, and I forget.
Was the place growing green, Babette?
BAUXITE :
But of greenness yea, nesieu ;
And then the sky so blue—so blue ,
And when I dropped my immortelle.
How the birds sang! ;
Morning, cool with dew and shade, was
breaking over one of -the quaint and pic-
turesque villages of Southern France. No-
where, perhaps, is found quiet thrift com-
bined with greater beauty of natural sur-
roundings than one sees here. This is but
to repeat what has Often been said before ;
yet, as with all things beautiful, nothing is
lost with familiarity, and so we dare once
more recall the picture.
A narrow paved street, with grey houses
and overhanging roofs, deep narrow win-
dows, with a few brightly colored flowers
blooming therein. At the end of the street
the house where rimeh red wine is drunk,
whilst all the news brought by the diligence
is discussed, not to say the never failing
topic of the vine e and the chestnuts, which
always holds for :the villagers a vital inter-
est, and receives their deep attention.
Under a spreading chestnut tree in front
of this primitive house of gobd cheer
the stranger. receives what hospitality- it
may afford. -
At the farther end of the street, on the
summit of a slight elevation, is the church,
with cross held always before the eyes of
the people, exacting more "ora" and "ave"
than might otherwise be sent upwards- on
the fragrant breath of the vine -laden air.
But a stone's throwe from the church on
the hill the good cure lives • for is he not
always with his people? Does he not know
every s hope and every fear of that little
floek Has his face not become holy with
assuming thalaxes and, alas ! the sins of
each oriesessadicaiving them, with him to
the feet of the 'Cross he is ever trying to
hold before their poise blind eyes?
Behind the church, and trickling down
over its stony bed\the tiniest river finds its
way; like a ribbon; in and out of the flow-
eringtfields it winds, binding together the
poppies and daisies and cornflowers that one
traces as far as the eye can reach.
Beyond the meadosvs lie the soft -undulat-
ing hills, dark green with the clothing of the
vines. Beyond them; again, rise the far -
distant mountains, purple and blue with
their own shadows.
At a point where the terraces of vines
touch the purple hills an ancient chateau
rises dominating the little valley. It stands
amidst a dense forest of shaded green, and,'
except for the high towers and battlements
that rise above the trees, might be passed
without obsertration from the winding road.
below.
This was, known. to all the peasantry
und about as the Chateau du Val. For
any generations they had lived upon the
tate and given willing service to the
punts of that name. .To the younger inen
thepresent generation, however, the lord
the castle was almost a stranger. It was
any years since he had visited his estate in
e vine -land: _
All they knew of him was through an oc-
sional word let fall. by M. Timbale, the
meager and. steward of all the land. Since
e death of Maclaine Comtesse, Monsieur
Comte had been a great traveller, they all

ghtest knowledge to those who had never

st, had journeyed only s0. far as the

Over Village aild hillside morning slowly
dawned. In a small house rather poorer
thaas its village companions, and quite on
the outskirts of the hamlet, there was move-
ment and the air of bustle and excitement
that indicates an event. The morning meal
was more hureiedly prepared- than usual.
An aged voice and a child's were ,often com-
mingled; as though each were too intent
upon some especial duty to miss the reply
due to one another's exclamation or ques-
tioe.
At last, impatiently from the aged- voice
was heard :
" Babette ! Babette! Do you not know
we shall be late, you little monkey? Bring
my aword and chepeau at once, and let us
be off before the heat of the day is upon Its.
Know you, little one, I am not, as strong for
a march as I was in those good old days
when the' cell mine- for Paul Laroche, and
he could answer, Present, my country !'
Oh, those were days when the blood surged
to one's e heart when the cry went down
the Vive la France!' Oh, France,
France !"

„
-Other iniderethe Mint save that, of his little
that dear name, 'closet to his heart than -any
grandchild Babette. _
Aintit is now that the -little-one is speak-
ing:
,-
` Come, gran'pere, you have but just told
me to be ready, and already you lave for-
gotten to, buckle on your sword, Come,
dear gran'pere, we must not walk ovor• the
white road after the sun is high, else will I
have you ill again, as it was the last time we
went to the great city."
With a kindly hand the little Woman
helped the old soldier to his feet, and,
wit le his hand resting on her shoulder, they
started on their long tramp to the nearest
town,.
• Each year the jo-urney had become more
difficult to Paul Laroche, and yet four times
a year he had been able to accomplish it, al-
ways with Babette at his side since she had
been able to walk.
Many a time he had taken her, a wee
,thing, and placed her on his shoulder for a
ride, suchas she used to deem her right,
until she could see with infant discernment
-how tired "gran'pere" became, and how he
panted for breath when he had placed
her on her two little wooden shoes again.
So she had learned to say:
" Babette would &thee walk; Bit&tte :is
no longer petite;" thus she had become in a
great degree the protector...
Already she seemed a little woman in
thought and unselfishness, while still but a
child in years. '
So it was this morning, as they kept on
their tedious way; for the sun had begun to
shine with radiant splendor, iiest as it al-
ways shines over that vine laaid—never
cloud ; only all day long the sky so blue and
so distant that -one feels quite apart from it,
and not as in the more mountainous dis-
tricts, where clouds are always chasing one
another, over the blue, and where, by
climbing to that first high peak, the hand
stretched out would almost touch the
white fleece so caressingly resting On its
summit.
The way this morning seemed weary to
both grandfather and child; to the child,for
the reason, unrealieed by her, that the old
soldier's hand rested more heavily than
usual on her 'shoulder; that it was she who
bore him up as he marched on over the
white road.
With an effort he retained his old milis
tary air and bearing, which he always as-
sumed when, in his faded coat and braid
(loeig since tarnished beyond all hope of re-
covery,) he made this pilgrimage to the near
• city to. claim what his beloved France al-
lowed him for his faithful service in the
years long past. But this morning the old
soldier's military step was but feeble, and
his one poor arm pressed more heavily. On
his little staff than he knew.
At last, close by a wayside shrine (Where
each had knelt for a moment to pray for the
Holy Mother's intercession) they stopped
to take their first and final rest and re-
freshment.
"It is a dull day, Babette;'not the height
sun that used to shine on France in the good
old days -gone by. Why, then not a cloud
wasin the sky, and the air was full of the
musk of the birds; one could walk over
fields of flowers as soft as velvet, and when
the reveille- sounded (the sweetest music in
the world is the bugle call, Babette), why,
one was thankfulthat the Holy '0 mit let
one live, and above all,that one was 4nrolled
as a child of France, 1 could have iiarched
all day then, Babette, and never havd known
what it was to be weary; but now a 'strange
• dullness is in my brain, and 1 have scarcely
strength to go on, except for you, Babette.
My little one, who is to guard you and care
for you when I am gone ?"
" Gone ! Gone where, gran'pere? Are we
not always together? Would you be thinking
of going to the great city without Babette?
*We must go on again, gran'pere, else the
great doors will be closed, and the notary
away, and. all our long walk would be for
nothing.
Helping the old man to his feet once more,
and placing herself so that his hand could
rest upon her shoulder, they took up their
march again.
For a long time there was silence, until at
last Babette broke the stillness with—
"Gran'pere, why do you never tell me of
my mother? Have 1 .no rnaman, like Elise
and Victor ?- Have 1 no mother except the
- Blessed Mother ?"
The 'old man halted, took his hand from
the child's shoulder, straightened himself,
and with a strong voice said,—
" Where, is, indeed, your mother? You
have no mother; you are not like Elise and and
Victor. 1. it be a shame . to you ever to hav
ask a like question, as ip makes my old hea
cheek hot again to kieow I ever had a, aim
daughter.
"Your mother, dear child, is the who and
held' the Blessed Ba,by its her arms, the eve
Mother to whose care I must leave you ere •
long." obs
The old. man's voice had the sound of sobs,
and yet Babette thought he could not be fell,

Babette, who had never seen this look in hear

• How I forget?

; It was now past the middle of the after-
noon as they took up their -march again with
their faces turned' toward. home.
The child glanced at her oompanion every
now and then, and felt ,troubled to see him
so -weary and tired looking.. Soon they had
left the city and crossed the bridge, passing
at first through busy streets of traffic and
business, then the more quiet ones on the
outskirts of the city, and finally gaining the
broad country road, where one could see
over high walls the stately villas and culti-
ated, grounds of wealthy city families;
finally, where vast shade and much land in-
dicated the naore remote chateaux, only
made known by great iron gates, or some-
times by a distant turret that man had
reared so high that the trees tried in vain to
overshadow it. s
- Thee had plodded on for a Ring distance
when 3abette felt the old eoldiert falter,
grasp her arm more firmly, and then sink
down by the roadside quite white and
strange. She held lihn with all her childish
-strength, calling to him.—
" Gran'pere, what ails yrsou ? Shall Ba -

The old man heard the agony in her

breath that was like the pa,nting of a w

which was the short connection between
points in the highway. _ At the further

Babette felt the step of her charge f

ran thrOngh his frame such as she had n
felt before. She called him again: "G

petite. Look at her! speak -to her!
gran'pere, do you not know me ?"
By this time the old man had stumble

murmured,—
"Poor bebee ! The Holy Mother indeed

.They buried Paul one evening, as the sun
was sinking behind the far hills and the air
heavy with the fragrance of the vines.
Some of his old comrades bore him to his
quiet grave, where, indeed, the flowers
bloomed almost as he had dreamed they dicl
in the old days.
They had wrapped him in the beautiful
tri -color he loved so well; and behind—
never, alas! by his side again—walked Ba-
bette, with the sad -eyed. mother; the little
woman always in advance, and with the dig-
nity becoming one who was the nearest
mourner for a brave soldier of France.

An Extract.
" The hands are such dear hands;
They are no full : they turn at our demand
So often; they reach out
With trifles ecarcely thought about;
So many things they do,
So many things for me, for you,
If their fond wille mistake,
We may well bend, not break.
" They are such fond, frall lips
That speak to -us. Pray, if love strips
Them of discretion many times,
Or if tberspeak too slow or quick, such crimes
We may pass by: for we may see
Days not far off when these small words may be
Held not too slow, or quick, or'oub of place, but
dear,
Becluse the lips are no more here.
"They are such dear familiar feet that go
Along the path with us, feet fast or slow,
And trying to keep pace,—if they mistake,
Or tread upon some flower that we would take
Upon our breast, or bruise gome reed,
We may be mu 1-e,
Not turning quickly to impute
Grave fault; for they and we
Have such a little way to go,
Can be together such a little -while
way,
We will be patient while we may.
" So many little faults we find,
We see them ; for not blind
Is love. We see them, but if you and I,
Perhaps remember theni some by and by.
They will not be
Faults then—grave fatilts-,to you and me,
. But just odd ways—mistakes, or even less
Remembrances to bless.
Days change so Many things, yes, hours;
We see 80 differantly in suns and showers,
Mistaken words to -night
May be so cherished by toenorrow's
We may be patient; for we know
, 'There's such a little way to go."

Uncle Payne's Experiencei.
As I passed a small colored chile:eh, „I
halted a moment to speak with the aged
sexton, who was sitting in a pensive mood
upon the front steps. His once stalwart
form Was much bent by reason a the
weight of age. His looks were silvery,
while his reel ebony face was lightened up
with an expression of the purest kindness.
I sadd :
" Uncle Payne, where were you raised ?"
" Ober de mountains, sah down in old
Forquier."
"What is -your age ?"
" I'se nigh on to eighty, so de white folks
say."
"Well, you are getting quite aged,
Uncle Payne."
"Yes salt, Pae gettin' ole, and has spent
de most ob my life in sin an' folly an' seebin'
the debil."
" Ah ! that is had, Uncle Payne; but
how long is it since you became a Chris-
tian?"
"Sens jis' afore de wah, sah."
"Well, it has been a good while since
then, Uncle Payne; you should have con-
siderable experience by this time."
"Yes, sah, I ought to hab but I'se jis'
learnt to chew creases."
" How is that, Uncle Payne? I do not
quite understand what you mean."
"Well, sah, you see I came to Jesus, an'
gib iny heart to Him, and for a long time I
thought de Lord must be feedin' me With
pie an' cake, an all good things. I was not
pleased if he didn't, but now I's satisfied
any way. can take a crus' from his hen'
as well as anything. I's got de witnesein
me."
I went away pondering over what I had
heard. I said, " Oh ! there is the secret—
' the witness in inc.'" How many are there
who follow the Master, not because of the
miracles which He did, but because they eat
of the loaves -and fishes, and. are filled ! How
many seek the "pie and cake" but spurn
the idea of crusts, though presented by the
Father's hand ! We must take the crust
as well as the cake, if we would have the
witness in us.

With unqualified pleasure, we beg to announce to the people of Sea:forth
and surrounding country that our large, varied and attractive stock is new
-complete in almost every line of each department. We have been at unusual
pains this season in selecting our st o'k: . Although we have 4ot made a per..
sonal trip to European countries, wt( have had the agents of manufacturers,
from England, Scotland, France, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland at our
doors, each one of whom was confined to ourselves for taking orders in this.,
vicinity. Of course, we do not pretend to say that we import all lhaes 0
goods we'landle from the older countries. Canada, with the protection afford,:
will be found exceptionally fine. Prints and Cretonnes,
local makers, Our stock of Silks, Dress Goods, Linens, Hosiery and Gloves
ed her, has come to the front with many lines of goods, notably Staples itie

Clothing. In these we have endeavored to select the very, best values from
Millinery goods, Car-
pets, and Oil Cloths, elee•ant, in designs. Clothing, Tweeds, Worsteds, Rats„
