What the Sea Cast Up.
BY AltTHUK 1j. MKfjEKVB.
It was a bleak December nightand
and a great gale 'waH abroad over
sea and lund.
Hugo waves throw themselves with
mighty force ngainst tho great jng-
god cliffs as though they would forco
Ihem from their foundations , as for
nges they hnd been trying to do.
On tho land the wind had better
success. Great trees were uprooted ,
and tho air was filled with flying
branches wrenched oil and carried
along on the blasts as though they
had been wisps of straw.
I twos a night long after remember
ed by the people a long the coast
and spoken of as the groat storm.
That night in an old , largo , ram
bling house some half amilo from the
shore , two people were sealed on
tho hearth , listening apparently to
the warning of the elements without ,
for some time had elapsed since a
word had passed the lips of either.
The house seemed somewhat un
stable , and with every blast it shook
and trembled as though it were
about to como tumbling down about
the heads of its occupants.
Strange and uncanny sounds were
heard coming from the room in other ,
parts of the building , ai though un
seen guests were holding high revel
there.
Tho fire on the hearth burned fitful.
Sometimes it would leap high up the
broad open fireplace ns if it would es
cape on tho wings of tho wind , and
then it would fall down and well-nigh
disappear , save the bed of glowing
embers scattered over the hearth.
The pranks of tho fire sent strange
and grotesque shadows danc
ing upon the wall , taking all
manner of uncouth shapes as though
they were holding high carnival -
Tho two figures before the fire sat
speechless and without motion. They
saw not the strange pranks and the
liberty the firelight was taking with
them on the wall. To all appearances
they were utterly unconscious of any
thing which was passing in the room
and unmindful of the warfare with
out.One was an old man , gray and bent
with years. His hands clutched a
long staff which he had planted on
the hearth , and his eyes wide open ,
were fixed on the glowing embers as
though he saw something which fas
cinated him among them. His face
was almost bloodless and as white
as the long thin hair which fell upon
his shoulders.
His companion was a girl of not
more than twenty years even if she
had seen as many. She was beautiful
as it was , but she would have been
far moio so had it not been for a tir
ed , weary look upon her face. It was
a discouraged look , as if all the hopes
of her life hadfled away forever , and
what she saw before her was only a
dismal blank.
" "Nellie , " aid the old man itsLtfr"I
length , but at that moment such a
blast struck the house that it would
have drowned a much stronger voice
than that of'her companion.
" ' .Nellie , " " repeated the old man in
a iouder key , "don't you hear me ? "
"Did you speak beforegrandfather ? "
said the girl , looking up into his
face.
" "Y s , " said the old man , queru
lously. " "But you were thinking of
eomething'or somebody besides me.
It -always so when I speak. I
might as well be all alone. "
• "I-did not hear you , grandfather.
The wind is blowing such a gale that
it is no wonder. "What is it I can do
for you ? "
• "Nothing , 'nothing , " replied the
old man , testily.
" 'jYes here was , grandfather , " said
the girl , laying her hand on the old
mam's .knee. "Tell me what it was.
You were at least thinking of some
thing. But listen a moment. Did
you ever know a harder gale than
taifi ? "
Again the < old house rattled , and
creaiked , .and groaned. The wind
whispered if possible more like afiend
than before , and above all was the
roar of the ocean as if enraged to
think that it could not engulf tho
land .and sweep everything before it.
"I've .known many a bad night
aiaeeiiiisiroof has covered my head ;
nighte in which it seemed that the
waves • would washrthe old house from
its foundation. Alack , it is a pity
that it did , not. I would rather that
it would liave chanced to do so , than
to have lived so long , and then to be
turned out of it in my old aire by Si
mon Grover. But it is to be , and we
have only a , week for it to shelter us.
Could I but have my wish the storm
would lay it low to-night , and fill up
the field and meadow so that it
would only he an expanse of drifting
sand. "
"Do not talk in this way , grand
father. You shall not come to want.
You know that I have got strong
hands and am willing to work. We
will find a little cottage somewhere
hereabouts , where lean get work , to
do at home , and we shall be happier
than we have been here for many a
year. "
There was a pained and bitter look
upon the face of the old man. It was
evident that the words of the girl had
brought no comfort to his heart.
"Acurse be upon the head o
Smibn Grover ! " he criedT ' "If itwere
not for him should not be turned
out of my home in my old age like a
dog. You know tliat I always
thought that it was he who stole my
strong box , when I was so sick as
not to know what was passing about
me. He sat up with me one night ,
they said , and it must be then that
it went , although it was not missed
until days afterwards when I had
come to myself. He stole it , the mis
erable thief , and with it went all my
papers that showed my title to this
house and lands which I had from
his father. They had never been put
on record , as they should have been ,
and the lawyer who drew them , and
* li0 witnesses , are dead. Dead , all of

them. All this timo ho has let usBtay
here for an ovil purpose of his own.
He hus Been you grow up into a
beautiful woman and ho has meant
to havo you for a wife. But , my girl ,
you havo your grandfather's spirit.
Better that wo should beg from door
to door than that you should con-
soiit to his wishes. "
Tho girl shuddered.
"I could not do it , grandfather ,
oven for your sake. It would be a
living death to me. I can work my
fingers to the bone , but to bo tied to
that man would be horrible. "
' • You shall not my child. I would
not have you comply with his wishes
for what little of life that islefttome.
Still I can 't help thinking and speak-
of it sometimes , and when there is
such anight as thisthe , impulse to
do so is more than I can understand ,
but we will say no more about it to
night. Let us try and talk of some
thing more cheerful. "
And then Nellie , humoring his
whim , did her best to lead his
thoughts in another direction. It
was a hard task , as the firelight
showed when it illuminated her face ;
but the old man did not see the look
of pain thereon and how bravely she
bore up trying to carry the burden
that had been imposed upon her
young shoulders.
Tho hour for retiring came at last ,
and after she had seen him comfort
ably tucked up for the night , she went
into her own room. But it was a
long time before sleep came to her
eyes. The house again and again
shook beneath the fury of the blast
as though it meant to level it to the
earth. But it was not this nor the'
roar of tho ocean that kept her
awake. It was the thought of her
grandfather , and whabshe was to do
when Simon Grover turned tham out
from beneath the roof that had shel
tered her ever since her eyes had first
seen the light of day.
But at last she slept , and when she
awoke , the low , slanting rays of the
sun , as it ai'oso from its ocean bed ,
shone in through the window. The
storm had ended during the night ,
and the only sound thatmether ears
was the still angry roar of the ocean
as it dashed upon the jagged coast
as if loath to give up the assault it
had so fiercely made upon it.
She gave a weary sigh as she
thought of the long day before her ,
and the future that stretched out so
blank and dreary before her. Then
she arose and dressed herself , for she
heard her grandfather in the outer
apartment. Soon after she joined
him with a smile upon her face , and
she was glad to perceive that his
despondent mood of the night before
had disappeared.
About ten o'clock that forenoon as
her grandfather was sitting outside
the door he called to her.
"What is it ? " she said , coming out
to the spot where he was seated.
"There is a man coming up the
road yonder. Can you tell me who
it is ? Your eyes are sharper than
mine. "
' "That is Simon Grover , grand
father. "
* 'That is who I thought it was. He
is coming to harass me again to-day.
Oh , the viper. How I wish that I
could crush him beneath my foot.
But alas , it is he who can do the
grinding now. "
"Let him do his worst , grandfath
er. We know what that is and Ave
can meet it. I don't want to see or
speak to the villain again , so if you
are willing I will jro down to the
beach and wait until he has gone. I
can go down back of the house and
he won't see me if Igo at once. From
where he is < now his view is cut off. "
" So at once , Nellie. It is enough
for one of us to have to see him. "
"I will be back as soon as ho is
gone , grandfather. I shall know
when he goes , as I can see the Toad
from where I shall be among tfhe
rocks. "
With these words and a kiss on "the
old man's cheek , she ranthrough ;
the house and out of the reardoor
and took her way to the rocks with
the speed of a deer.
Once arrived there , and concealed
among them , she casta backward
glance toward the house.
She saw that Simon Grover had ar
rived there and was standing beside
her grandfather. She suspected that
high words might be even then pass
ing between them , and sbe felt thank
ful that she was not there to hear
them. Her grandfather , she knew ,
< was amply able to make reply to the
man she so detested , and there was
little need of her being there .to thelp
ihim.
ihim.She
She took a seat on alow rock a lit
tle back from the water's edge and
.gazed out on the troubled waters of
the great deep , which had not yet re
covered from its encounter with its
old enemy the wind. The waves
eame rushing in as they had done the
previous day but they were not so
large and violent as they had been ,
for now , between the rocks and the
farthest point of their advance , there
was .a narrow strip of white sand
which lay drying in the sun's rays.
From the wide ocean before her ,
her gaze came back to this little strip"
of sand , and , half imbedded in it , she
saw an object which at once riveted
her attention.
It looked like a small wooden box ,
almost stained black by the water ,
and bound about by a eouplo of
rusty iron bands.
Evidently it had been thrown up
from the bed of the ocean by the
storm just over.
Her curiosity was aroused by the
sight and she looked about her to
find some spot where she could de
scend to where it was lying.
This she soon > found , and in a few
moments'was standing beside it on
the . sand.
The lower portion of the box was
but loosely buried in the sand , and
freeing it , she raised it in her hand.
It washeavierthanshehad thought
it wouJd prove , but she carried it up
over the rocks and was on the point
of laying it down , so that she could
examine it , when , glancing up toward
the road , she saw Simon Grover go
ing in the direction of home at apace
which showed that he was thorough
ly angry.
She knew that her grandfather
would need her now , and so with her
burden clasped in her arms she at
once made her way towards the
house.
She found her grandfather walking

The old mnii started as though his
.jyu * were coming out of his head , and
shook in every limb.
"It's my box , " ho cried , as soon au
ho could find his tongue. "Oh , Nel
lie , where did you find it ? "
"On tho sand , grandfather. The
storm last night must have cost it
up. But nro you sure it is yours

"Of course 1 am , child. It is tho
very box , sent back to mo by Heav
en's mercy. Simon Grover , yon have
lost tho game you thought you won
when you stole this and threw it in
to the sea. "
It was no small job to forco open
the box , but at last it was accom
plished. Therein was a package of
papers stained by water , but con
siderably well wrapped in oiled silk.
Not a paper was missing , and the
box contained beside quite a sum in
gold.
The day on which Simon Grover
ame to take possession of the prem-
ses was a day of triumph for the old
man and his granddaughter. A law
yer had been sent for , and their
snemy brought one with him. It
took the two limbs of tho law but a
few moments to see how matters
stood with Simon Grover , and at a
whisper from his lawyer he departed ,
never to set foot in the old house
again. Yankee Blade.

The Bride's Outfit.
I remember the cimo when no farm
er's daughter in tho Mohawk Yalley
was allowed to leave her father's
home for another without her dozen
of sheets , pillow-oases , table-cloths ,
towels , etc. , and a goodly supply of
bedding , feather bed and pillows.
To these was added a cow , and
sometimes also a horso and a few
sheep. Of course it often required
some forethoughtand good manage
ment when the family was large and
the farm small , but it was no little
pleasure in such cases for the girls , as
fast as they.advanced to a marriage
able age , to appropriate a calf or
some motherless lambs , and by care
and coddling raise them in readiness
for the possible event of their mar
riage. Likewise did they have their
pluckings from the geese to make
feather beds and pillows , and the
quiltinjr-frame and spinning-wheels
helped them to the rest. These were
truly homely preparations , but in a
sense that is of far better significance
than ordinary bric-a-brac and em
broidery , which constitutes chiefly a
bride's belonging to these days. I
dare say that not many months
elapse before most young house
keepers wish their finer } ' , which was
thought so important at the time of
the wedding , could be transformed
into blankets or some other useful
articles. In a home there must al
ways appear a complete background
of the necessaries to makeornamc-nts
show to advantage ; and where pro
vision is not first made for the must-
baves , there is a small chance of
their receiving proper attention.

Counting'the Motes in the Sanbcam ,
Counting the dancing motes in a
bar of sunlight sounds like one of
those hopeless , never-ending tasks
withwhich malignant fairies delight
to break the spirit of little heroines
: ntihe German folk stories. Some
thing more than this , however , has
oeen achieved by modern science , "
which is now able to count the par
ticles floating in any given portion of
blie atmosphere , and determine what
proportion of these are dangerous
' * erms and what are mere dust. Dr.
Prankland's curious 'experiments
uave shown us how to count the
micro-organisms , and now Altken , of
Falkirk , by atotally different method ,
aas been enable to take stock of the
aiore harmless but hardly less inter
esting dust motes. Thirty-thousand
such particles have been detected by
aim in the thousandth of a cubic inch
of-the air of a room. In the outside
atmosphere in dry weather , the same
measurement of air yielded 2,119 ,
• whereas after a heavy rainfall the
number was only 521That this
power of prying into atmospheric
secrets will eventually yield very im
portant results mnst be obvious to
all. Among the most curious dis-
soveries nlreadj' made is the direct
relation between dust-partieles and

3Te Brought Baek "the Candle.
• Cincinnati has the champion absent-
minded man. A gentleman living in
the suburbs went in s , store on Wal
nut Street to make a few purchases.
The only light in the store was a
Dandle standing on the counter near
the mone3r drawer. After making
his purchases he handed the proprie
tor a bill , and , after returning him
the change , the proprietor walked to
the rear of the store to arrange
something , when suddenly he was
left in the dark. He started toward
the counter , and , groping round on
it , found , not the candle , but the
: hange. It struck him then that
probably the man , in a fit of absent
mindedness , had taken the candle in
stead of his change. He started out
after him , and catching up with him ,
he saw that he had the bundle in one
hand and the candle in the other.
After apologizing focthe mistake the -
3tranger took his change and gave
back the candle.

Signs of the Millennium.
Prcin the New York Sun.
In eleven years from this time we
3hall be living in the twentieth cen
tury of the Christian era. Some of
the Christian interpreters of the Bib
lical prophecies have tried to prove
by them that the millennium would
flawn in the twentieth century , and
that mankind would then enter up
on the enjoyment of a thousand years
of universal peace and happiness. It
may be so , though the signs of it are
not yet obvious to the unprophetic

Wrs. Whittlesey's Luck.
Omahft ( Kcb. ) Bee. Jan. 1C
A Bee representative was detailed yes
terday to ascertain what truth there was
in tho report that E. C. Whittlesey had
drawn $3,000 in tho Louisiana Stato
Lottery. Tho gentleman was found in
tho general superintendent's oflico of
tho Wells , Fargo Express Company ,
where ho holds a very responsible posi
tion. Ho stated that it is his mother
who is tho lucky holder of one-fortieth
of ticket No. 08,744 , which cost SI and
returned $5' ,000 from tho December
drawing.
/Mrs. Whittlesey has invested four
times , and has secured prizes twice ; the
other being $50 drawn in tho September
drawing. Mrs. Whittlesey is the wife
of S. C. Whittlesey , formerly editor of
tho. . Council Bluffs Globe and at ono
time privato secretary to the late 'Thos.
A. Hendricks. Sho has resided in Coun
cil Bluffs at 35 North Seventh street for
a number of years , where she has many
friends who congratulate her upon her
great good fortune. Her son , Mr. E.
0. Whittlesey , ceneral superintendent's
offices , Wells , Fargo Express Company ,
fifth floor , United States National bank
building , will corroborate tho abovo
statement to any who call.
Raised letters ure intended for the blind ,
and we suppose that raised clieeka are for

Jones. Smith , why don't you etop that
disgusting hawking and spitting ?
Smith. How enn I ? You know I am a
martyr to catarrh.
J. Do as I did. I had tho disease in its
worst form but I am well now.
S. What did you do for it ?
J. I used Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
It cured me and it will cure you.
S. I've heard of it , and by Jove I'll try
it.

J. Do so. You'll fiud it at all tho drug
stores in town.

Edwin Forrent'si Secret.
Tho great tragedian , Forrest , had a Be-
cret which everybody ought to learn nnd
profit by. Said he , "T owe all my Biicces < i
to the fact that everything I have under
taken I havo dono thoroughly. I never
neglect trifles. " That's the point , don't
neglect trifles. Don't neglect that hacking
cough , those night-sweats , that feeblo and
capricious appetite , and the other symp
toms , triflim : in themselves , but awlul in
their signiflcance. They herald the ap
proach of consumption. You are in dan
ger , but you can bo saved. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovi-ry will restore you
to health and vigor , as it has thousands
of others. For all scrofulous diseased , and
consumption iB one of them , it is a sov
ereign remedy.

man , is an expert seamstress.
Your Friend. Committed Suicide.
You never suspected it , none of his
friends dreamed of it , he did not know it
himself , but it it exactlywhat he did , nev
ertheless. Do you remember his sallow
complexion ? Do you recollect how he used
to complain of headaches and constipa
tion ? "I'm getting quite bilious , " he said
to me one day , "but I guess it'll pass off.
I haven't done anything for it because I
don't believe in 'dosing. ' " Soon after that
you heard of his death. It was very sud
den , and every one was greatly surprised.
If he had taken Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pur
gative Pellets he would be alive and well
to-day. Don't follow his example. The
"Pellets" are easy to take , mild in their
action , and always sure.

" Standing , with reluctant feet ,
Where the brook and river meet ,
"Womanhood and childhood fleet ! "
is a type of thousands of young girls who are emerging from the chrysalis stage
of their existence , as they enter upon their " teens. " Xervous , excitable , irri
table , stirred by strange , unknowable forces within them , each a mystery unto
herself , our girls need the tenderesc care.the most loving , patient oversight , and
the aid of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Priscription , to ' safely carry them through this
critical period , during which , in too many lives , alas , are sown the seeds of dis
tressing forms of diseases peculiar to the female sex. But this boon to woman
kind will prevent all such diseases , or cure them if they have already seized a
victim. "Woman owes it to herself , to her family , and to her social station , to be
well and strong. Let her then not neglect the sure means of cure. " Favorite
Prescription" is a legitimate medicine , carefully compounded by an experienced
and skillful physician , and adapted to woman's delicate organization. It is
purely vegetable in its composition and perfectly harmless in its efTects in any
condition of the system. Sold by druggists ; $1.00 , or six bottles for $5.00.
