A Grateful Man.

Soon after noon Saturday well-dressed
man about thirty-five years old called into
dry goods store on Woodward avenue and
inquired of the clerk:
"Will you have the kindness to tell me
the time Of day?' ..
"A quarter past twelve" was the an
swer.
"Thank you, sir" continued the man,
seemingly greatly pleased; whatever is
right l will pay YOU"

clerk.
"Well that's liberal, that is. I admire
such spirit in young man, and a. re-
ward | will make you present. Please
these"
He handed over four blue colored milk
tickets, each one calling for a pint, and
went on.
"Always remember. that bread cast upon
the waters will return. When you kindly
informed me what time it was you little
thought l was the sort of clothes-pin to
promptly reward you. Take the tickets
and may prosperity ever attend you.
"I-I am much obliged to you," stammer-
ed the clerk.
"Not at all-not at all, my good friend.
You cast your bread on the waters and was
rewarded. will now ask you; in view Of
what has occurred, to trust me for ten yards

The clerk decided that be couldn't do it,
and the man Ieceived back his milk tickets
in high dudeeon, started for the door, and
as he was going out called back:

There were vigorous inquiries at the

appeared at the window the inquirer ask

"Has a cross-eyed woman been here

The Captain hadn't seen her.
"Well, she'll be here this forenoon.
She's my wife, and she's a leettle weak in
the head. She's got the notion that l get
love letters from woman in Canada, and
she'll be here to ask for my mail"
"Well?"
"Well, don't get any such letters Of
course, but you mustn't give her my mail.
She might get one with draft in, and not
know its value. Just say to her that you
never knew Of my receiving letter here,
and that you have repeatedly heard me say
that had the best wife in town."
"But I don't know you"

For some days there had been alternate
winds and calms, and the weather was 90
fitful and 80 tickle that no one could tell
in one hour what would happen in the next.
All this was at last terminated BY dead,
dense, oppressive calm like those Of the
Indian Ocean, in which exertion was al
most impossible and breathing difficult.
The skv, however, instead Of being clear
and bright, as in former cslms, was now
overspread with menacing clouds; the sea
looked black, and spread out before them
on every side like an illimitable surface Of
polished ebony. There was something ap-
palling in the depth and intensity Of this
calm with such accompaniment. All
felt this influence. Although there was
every temtation to inaction and sleep yet
no one yielded to it. The men looked
suspieiously and expectantly at every quar-
ter Of the heavens. The Captain said moth
ing, but cautiously had all his prepara-
rations made for storm. Every half
hour he anxiously consulted the barometer
and then cast uneasv glances at the sea
and sky.
But the calm which had set in at mid
night, and had become confirmed at dawn,
extended itself through the long day. The
ship drifted idly, keeping no course, ber
yards creaking lazily, as she slowly rose
and fell at the movement Of the ocean-un-
dulations. Hour afte1 hour passed, and
the day ended, and night came once more.
The Captain did not turn in that night.
In anxious expectation he waited and
watched on deck, while all around there
was the very blackness Of darkness. Bran
don began to see from the Captains man.
ner that he expected something far more
violent than any thing which the ship had
yet encountered, but, thinking that his
presence would be of no consequence, he
retired at the usual hour.
The deep, dense calm continued until
nearly midnight. The watchers on deck
still waited in the same anxious expecta-
ton, thinking that the night would bring
on the change which they expected,
Almost half an hour before midnight q
faint light was aeen in the thick mass Of
clouds overhead-it was not lighting, but
whitish streak, as though produced by
some movement in the clouds. All locked
up in mute expectation.

A Child Branded and Deserte

A Child Branded and Deserted.
From the Indianapolis Journal.
Early yesterday morning the attendants
at the Orphans Home, on opening the door
in answer to the ring Of The bell, found on
the steps basket, which, on examination,
was found to contain female child. As
the lady opened the door she saw heavy
set man, with dark whiskers, hurriedly get
into buggy and drive rapidly away. The
basket contained the following note:
"Born Saturday, Dec. 2,l876, and named
Miss Centennial-'76.' Matron please
care for it, and will write to you in a
month or SO; for it is the flesh and blood
of me, its mother. Ifit is published in any
paper let it be the Journal Of next We'd
nesday (6th), so I can read it.
ITs MOTHER"
The poor little walf seemed to be suffer.
ing intense agony, and on examination the
matron was shocked to find that the little
things shoulders were both cruelty burned,
in fact, branded with red hot iron., The
inhuman parent or parents taken this
method of marking the child with view
probably to further Identification. In
accordance with the request Of the note it
it published in the Journal, and the
Journal hastens one day in advance Of the
time mentioned to give publicity to the
inhuman cruelty Of the dark-whiskered
pcoundrel who was in all probability
responsible for the little child's torture,
only regretting that his name cannot be
displayed in the largest and blacklist type
at the head of this notice.

A gentleman in Boston was going out in
his carriage to make scme calls with his
wife, when he discovered that he had left
his visiting cards. He told his footman,
recently come into his service, to go to the
mantlepiece in the sitting room and bring
the cards he should zee there. The servant
ran upon a pack Of playing cards and
thought those were the ones. Off started
the gentleman, sending in the footman when.

were very numerous he turned to his foot
man with the question:
"How many cards have you left?"
