'August
Flower"
" For two years I suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, aud was for
all that time under treatment by a
plvj-sician. He finally, after trying
everything, said my stomach was
worn out, and that 1 would have to
cease eating solid food. On the rec-
ommendation of a friend I procured
a bottle of August Flower. Itseem-
cd to do nie good at once. I gained
strength and flesh rapidly. I feel
now like a new man, and consider
that August Flower has cured me."

Presently, 1 saw my uncle, partially

of tossing water. Simultaneously, the wind
taseaed, coming not In solid phalanx, but in

A wild cry rose, and all hands wcro sud-

Then, straining my eyes through the blind-

Then the woman ral*ed her head, and look-

Yes; I kne'r her in a moment.
The lurid light of the tempestuous morn-
ing shone full upon her face, and tho cling-
ing dress and cloak, which more expressed
than hid her lovely form, ller eyes were
wildly lixed, her face pale as death; but in
her features there was a splendid self-pos-
session far removed from common fear.
I Though so many years had passed since
I wv had last met, she was still the same; only

In loose and dripping folds, descending al-
most to her waist. Peering more closely, I
perceived that her lips were blue, and her
form shivering with cold; Indeed, it was a
miracle that she had not perished in tho chill,
of that cruel night.
From that moment 1 saw nothing but that
one tigurc; all others were blurred and prao
tically unseen. In my wild amazement and
eagerness to reach her, I could have sprung

"Hugh, ray Iml, you nslocpy"
"An if any oini could sleep on such a night!
i thought yesterday's portent meant some-
thing. The storm has come I"
"Mother bo frighted badly," lio returned.
"She ho praying, lad, dawn i'tho kitchen.
Lawd rove ns; hark to that I" ho added, as a
Hash of licry lightning tilled the room, and
wind nnd lliuuder ndng.ed together In awful
reverberation.
There was no resting in bed, so I slipped
on my clothes and went down with my uncle
to the kitchen, where 1 found my aunt full of
superstitious terror. She had got out tho old
liible, and, having opened at random, was
reading in n low voice from one of the
Psalms. 1 did my best to allay her fears, but
succeeded very badly.
For tho greater part of tho night we re-
mained sitting up. Tho thunder and light-
ning lasted well on till morning, nnd when
they ceased, It became possible for the first
time to realize the frightful violence of the
gale. It was, as 1 afterward learned, a well
defined cyclone.
With the first peep of daylight, 1 seized my
hat and moved to the door.
"Whar Ite'st gawing, lad?" cried my aunt.
"Down to the shore. It's a high spring-
tide, and 1 want to see if tho life-boat's
snmr."
"Na, na," she cried, "stawp yarl"
But I only smiled at her fears, and hasten-
ed away. No sooner'had 1 left tho cottage
than tho wind caught me, and almost dashed
mo from ray feet; but 1 stooped my head,
nnd plunged right on In the teeth of the gale.
The day was now breaking, with lurid sullen
rays, behind my back. Short as the distance
was to tho seashore, I thought 1 should never
reach It, so terrible was the fury of the blast I
More than once 1 had actually to lio down
>n the ground, find let it trample over me I
And with the blast came hail nnd heavy rain,
blinding me, smiting my cheek liko whip-
cord, and drawing blood, so that 1 could
scarcely see a yard before my face.
At last 1 gained tho ciitT, and here I had
much ado to prevent myself from being lifted
bodily nnd blown away. But 1 threw
myself on my face and looked seaward.
Nothing was visible, only driving mists and
vapors, but right below there was a blind-
ing whiteness of the line of breakers, and
thence there rose up to me, together with tho
wild wisps of solid wind-swept w ater, tho
teafening thunder-roar of the tumultously
surging sea.
Gaining courage, presently, as tho light in
the east grew clearer, 1 crawled dow n the
path leading to tho shore. As I went, I was
sometimes flattened like a rag against the
rocks, by the sheer force of the wind; but 1
perseveied, and at last, with (iod's help,
reached the bottom.
Tt was high tide; tho roaring billows were
thundering up close to the ciitT, and the shal-
low creek surrounding the boat-house was us
white as milk with tho churning of the wa-
ters. 1 then perceived to my consternation,
that the galo had struck ho it-house with
such force as tt) sweep the wooJon roof away
and dash It into fragments against tho cliffs.
I crept on to the door, which was on the loo
and sheltered side, drew forth, from my pock-
et the key of the padlock, opened it, and
went in. Tho great boat lay there unharm-
ed, but was half full of water, fresh from
the dark rain clouds, salt from tho angry sea.
One of the oars had been littodoutand snap-
ped like a rotten twig, but that was all.
Suddenly, as I stood here sheltering from
the gale, 1 heard a sound front seaward, like
tho sound of a gun. 1 started*listeuimr. In
a minute the sound was repeated. Yes; it
was a gun at sea, ami the sound could have
only one signification' a vt s>el In distress 1
Quitting the boat house, 1 stood on tho
shore, ami strained my eyes against the drift-
ing vapors and the blinding wind; but I
could distinguish nothing—indeed, so great
was the rainy darkness, that my \ islon could
not ponetrato beyond twenty or thirty yards
from the storm-swept shore. But If I need-
ed any fresh assurance that a ship of soino |
<ort was struggling with the elements not far
away, it camo to me in another faint report
of n gun, and finally, in the red ll^lit of a ;
rocket, which shot tip through the black
vapors like a shooting-star, and disappeared I
CHAPTER XII.
THE BITIVIVORS OK THE WRECK.
Quitting the storm-swept shore, 1 climbed
halfway up the crags, and endeavored, with
straining eyes, to penetrnto tho darkness
seaward; but although it was broad day, tho
clouds of wind-blow n vapor still covered tho
troubled soa,
(ireatly agitated, I made my way up tho
cliff, and reached tho summit, where 1 found
that an excited group, composed of fisher- |
nam and miners, had already gathered. |
Among them was my uncle, who addressed
me eagerly the moment I appeared.
"Did you say tho lights, ladV 3ure as death,
there be a ship on tho -odes out thai !"
"On tho South Stack," s.iid an old fisher-
man, naming an ugly reef which lay right
across the mouth of tho bay, three quarters
ot a milo from shore.
"Are you sure she's there?" I asked, eag-
erly.
"Suro enough," was the reply. "When
Uio last light wont oop, I saw 'un least-
ways, suiumat black umang tho mist and
foam."
There was nothing for It but to watch; for
to go to the rescue in tho teeth of such a
storm was out of tho question, even if wo
had been able to launch the life-boat through
tho billows madly breaking on tho shore.
Tho wind still blew with extoaordlwiry fury,
though signs were not wanting that its
strength was partially broken; nnd still,with
thunderou roar, the waves came rolling in,
sending up a cloud of white foam that reach-
ed to the very summit of the cliff where wo
were crouching; nnd still, trailing as it were
on the waves and belching hither ami thith-
er, liko thick smoke from a furnace, the mist
came driving shoreward, blotting tho sea
from sight
From time to time tho gun sounded again;
then it ceased altogether; and no more rock-

We hung off for a minute, to let one great
sea go by; then wo swept alongside. What
followed was moro like a dream than wak-
ing reality. But with an eager cry 1 leaped
upon tho deck, and 6t*iggered up toward
d terror at the mere proposition. And, In-
deed, It seemed a hopeless affair! Although
the wind had certainly fallen a little, its fail-
ing seemed touugmcnt, rather than to lessen,
tho fury of tho sea. The waters between us
and tho vessel were terrible even to look up-
on; and it seemed Impossible that even a
life-beat could live among them. Kven if she , j^eline Qrahain.

Seen from our point of vantage, the boat
seemed a mere cockle-shell; but we saw the I

The lads, who were English horn and had
their hearts in tho right places, responded
with a cheer, ami down the path we rushed
till wo reached the shore. Entering tho boat-
house, we soon had the boat baled and ready
for launching, when 1 first realized, to my
dismay, that we were short-handed, several
of my best men being away. But two strong
lads from the mine volunteered, and my un-

were beaten back, nnd I thought tho boat

ed in and took their places—the oars smote
the boiling surge, ami out wo crept to sea.
Once fairly ulloat, wo realized for the lirst
time tho strength and fury of tho storm.
Clouds of living foam covered us, tho strong

some great wave camo near, curling high |

it with a shock like thunder and a rattle of j
every plank of which tho boat was made, j
More than once the seas made a clean breach
over us, hut the air-tight compartments and '
cushions cork kept us from actually found-
ering. On wo went, with tho light of the ,
kindling east-turning from red to reddish-
gold behind us, and tho mists' struck by tho
new radiance, thinning to seaward; and so, |
after a fierce tussle with wind and water,
we came iu full sight of the doomed vessel.
Stuck fast on tho cruel reef, her back j
broken, she was struggling like a crippled '
bird—lying over, with her decks and funnel
Inclined toward the shore, and quivering I
through and through with every blow of tho !
strong metallic waves. A pillar of smoky
foam, ever vanishing, ever renewed, hung |
over her in the air, and from timo to time tho
voters foamed over her weather sido, and ]
btrearned over the splitting decks.
At first I could discern no sign of life, but
as we drew nearer and nearer, 1 saw one or
two figures clinging in tho rigging, from I
which many of their comrades had doubtless |
been washed away. They saw us coming,
for one of them waved something white.

If there is ono word in tho English
language that should bo eliminated by
nbsolute disuse, it is the word "cheap."
Jnst now tho wholo world is search-
ing for something "cheap." Cheap
motj, choap women and cheap chil-
dren aro sought for on tho ono hand,
and cheap food, cheap clothing and
cheap shelter on tho other. No mat-
to • how much sorrow, suffering or
misery it may cost* if it is only cheap
to tho purchaser. Such a proposition
is all wrong, says tho National Watch-
man. and means poverty and w ant to
tho laborer. Just and equitable con-
ditions umong tho peoplo demand that
nothing produced by labor should bo
chcaj). Cheap products mean cheap
days works and cheap days works
moan hunger, nakedness and distress.
That nothing is choap to one producer
that is inado cheap at tho expense of
another producer is un economic prop-
osition which can not be refuted.
What is most needed at present to
make tho peoplo prosperous and happy
is a choap dollar and a dear day's
work. They havo been contending
with it dear dollar and a cheap day's
work until dobt and financial destruc-
tion is seen on every hand. Now thoy
ask for a change, and from the out-
look aro going to have it.
Perhaps some will say thoy can buy
moro with a dollar now than over
before; this Is no doubt true, and
heroin lies tho difficulty. Thero aro
hundreds of thousands of good citi-
zens eager for an opportunity to earn
tho dollar, but can find no employ-
ment Besides what will tho dollar
purchase moro of? Absolutely uoth-
ing but tho fruits of some other man's
labor.
Others will say that a days work
will buy as much of the necessaries of
lifo now as ever before; grant that
this may be true, yot there aro thou-
sands who can not find tho days labor
to perform; and if found, it will only
buy tho products of some other days
labor as cheaply. This idea of cheap-
ness, as now uuderstood, moans tho
product of ono set of laborers com-
peting against tho products of anoth-
or sot of laborers, while money is
feasting and enriching itsolf on their
disasters.
Tho true test for this groat question
Is. how many dollars will a days work
purchase or how much interest or
principal will its products buy? If
it will purchase less dollars to-day
than ono year ago. or if its products
will pay loss interest or debt princi-
pal, thon labor has decreased in value
or money has increased. This tost
nover fails. Try it.
lCtlward Atkhi'on.
Tho bakoa-boan and codfish civiliza-
tion of Boston has producod no more
degeuorato specimen than Edward
Atkinson, lie is an active tloa in the
hair of tho corporation dog. cease-
lessly at work to domonstrato how low
wages can bo reduced and still koep
tho protesting souls of workingmon
in their famishing bodies. This fawn-
ing sycophant, this aristocratic boot-
licker. is never so much in his ele-
ment as when advising working men
to submit to slavish conditions, and
in pointing out tho life-giving quall-
jtes of garbage, when submitted to
scientific cooking, aided by his patent
range, which, taking u shin bono of a
Blear, potato peelings, a littfo salt and
water, constitutes tho basis of a
square moal, upon which a man and
his family can. for a nickel, grow
sloelc and fat, aud iu a few years, at
75 cents a day. becomc a millionaire.
This Edward Atkinson is of tho
opinion that tho "personal liberty" ol
Aiuoricun workingmon requires of
them to try any method which science,
-o called, may desire, to got them
down to tho eating level of Scavenger
Italians, Hungarians. Poles, and other
rilT rail of Europe, who. after eonturies
of degradation, havo learned to live
liko vagabond dogs. These unfor-
tunate victims of autocratic oppression
illustrate Atkinson's idoa of "personal
liberty," because whon they roach our
shor es thoy contract to do for .">0 cents
what an American workingman lias
received $l.oO for doing; nr.'! Mr. At-
kinson. observiug that labor organi/.a-
;lotis prevent tho whole.-alo degrada-
tion of workingmon by employers, asks
••May it not. bo judicious to put nn
(•nil to lho continual attempts of sen-
timentalists, pseudo reformers and
unenlightened w orkmen, to impair the
personal liberty of adult men and
women and lo take from them their
right of free contra t by an appeal to
the courts o; highest jurisdiction?'
Tho question which Atkinson p its
mil!lit bo changed without doing any
violence to tho purpose in view, to
read: "May it not. bo judicious to ap-
peal to tho courts of highest jurisdic-
tion to suppress labor organizations?"
—tho object being not tho personal
liberty of men, but their degradation.
Edward Atkinson is, doubtless. th«
most venomous enemy of working
men to bo found in tho country. As
a statistician ho makes his figures lio
and his arguments based on his sta-
tistics. aro always specious, vicious
and essentially false, lie has earned
tho contempt of all enlightened work-
women, and. wo doubt not, a large
share of scorn from those who aro tho
boneliclaries of his exceedingly dirty
work.—Locomotive liremen's Maga-
