Wake up, love; leok at me, Esther. /
am not dead man, but your living
Paul. Feel my hand-it is warm, you
see. God has restored us to each other !;
and now, if his mercy permits. we will
never be parted again.
"Paul! Paul!". cried Esther, con-
WINGED at last.
They were very happy. Prosy folks,
could they have looked in, would have
seen only two exceedingly wet young
persons seated high upon rocky ledge,
with receding waters ripping about
their feet; but they, all aglow with life
and happiness, scarcely knew of the
lapse Of time before the shimmering
line of light appeared at the mouth Of
the cave.
With blessed tears streaming down
her cheeks, Esther heard his story ;
how, picked up-the sole survivor OF
that dreadful wreck-by an India
bound trader, her lover had lain deliri-
GUS for many weeks in q far land, una
BILE to tell his name or story; and, in
part recovered, started at once for
home, and landed in advance of the let
ters which told of his safety. And so
they had met here, mid "coral and
tangle and almondine," and, as she
heard the story Of his perils, Esther
clasped the hand she held as if she never
again could let it 60.
That provident little Helen-bless
her hearth" builded better than she

thinking does her HARM"
The voice died away. Esther caught
the words, and she smiled at them-a
bitter little smile. That was what all
of them had said since her trouble came.
She must be roused-amused- they
had crowded business and pleasures
upon her until she sometimes felt she
could bear it no longer. This was the
first time in many weeks that she had
felt really free, free to be silent, to look
sad, to cry if she wished. What a lux
ury it was! No anxious-eyed mother
to watch her-these comparative
strangers withdrawn-this cool, dark
ling silence-it was delicious! There
was something in the very nature of her
trial which made it necessary to veil her
grief with reserve. A black dress she
might wear-Paul was q cousin, and
some show Of mourning is allowed for
second cousinhood, even, and for init
mate friendship such as theirs had been.
But no one knew of the unavowed en-
gagement which bound them since that
hurried farewell letter in which his love
found utterance, and which only reach
ed her after he sailed-the sailing from
which there was to be no return. No
one knew, as they talked compassion
ately OF her having had ssdreadful
shock, poor girl-licr own cousin, you
know, and such fine young fe low
that her heart was wearing widows
weeds, and mourning its dead as the
great loss of life. It wouldn't bear

ing; but its beauty was lost to the shiv-
ering and terrified girl.
The doorway had quite disappeared.
Sharp spray dashed against her dress.
The drops struck her face. She shrank
and chung more tightly to the rock. A
prayer rose to her lips; and through
the tremulous light Of the submerged
archway strange shadow began to go
and come, to move and pause, and move
again. Was it fish, or weed, or some
mysterious presenter Did it come ac-
companied by life or death?
Meantime, on the rocks above, dis
tracted group were collected. The par
ty had come gayly back from the
"Heads." DIR. Gray, ignorant lands
man as he was, had grown uneasy and
hurried them away. Arrived at the
Grotto," the full extent of the calam-
ity was at once evident. The boy had
mistaken the tide-fow for ebb-and
the only hope was that Esther, discov-
ering her danger in time, had taken
refuge in the cottage near by. Thither
they flew; but, as we know, in vain.
The sobbing girls hung distractedly
over the cliff, listening to the hollow
boom with which the waves swung into
the cavern notwithstanding to think
OF the awful something which might
any moment wash outward on the re-
turning billow. The gentlemen went
for assistance, and brought a couple of
stout fishermen to the spot. But what
could any body do?
eff the young woman has sense
enough to climb up to the right-hand
corner and set still, it won't hurt her
none, perhaps one of them said.
"Not more than two tides year gets

cleaning and withdrawing OF dirty walls

they discard this troublesome
issue for the present, they sim
ply leave the responsibility OF
our financial condition where it should
rest-upon the shoulders of that party
who brought US intoit. But if they turn
their attention to redeeming the country
first; (which should be the prime matter
to be considered to working for national
publication, and for securing a change
of administration, afterwards it will be
time enough to rectity existing
abuses. And then, with Dem.

! there will be some sense in talking about

EQUALIZATION OF THE STATE
LANDS.

The Board for the equalization ofState
lands, recentl~ appointed by the Gov
ernor, will meet in this city to-day for
the purpose of receiving complaints from
the several counties of the State concern.
ing the valuation of lands, with q view
10 taxation, and Of rectilying mistakes
Ms far US possible.
1t Is the opinion OF the Board of Com
mlssloners OF Ohio county that the valua-
ton of our lands is too great According
to a complete table published in the
REGISTER OIL the 18th OF November last,
showing the difference in the number of
acres in each county of the STATE, and
the valuation of the same, according to
the assessments OF 1874 and 1879 it will be
seen that the value OF Ohio county lands in
1874 were assessed at s., 44G, 5l074, and
in 1875 Sl2,O24 ,U99 26, an increase of
S2,o77,5SS 81, or about % per
cent. THIS may not be in
reality more Of an increase
in va!uc than hes actually been exper.
fenced; but the great question for the
Equalization Board to determine is
whether this percentage OF increase Is
not too great in proportion to the in
crease in other sections of the State
Those counties along the line Of the
Chesapeake and OHIO Railroad, for in
stance, one would suppose, have been
materially benefited by that road; their
coal mines have been opened, and in sew
eral places, manufactures have been es-
tablshed. Yet in these, Summers shows
an increase Of S1433l, or only about one
seventh; while Greenbrer and kanawha
show 1t decided decrease.
La this section, Brooke and Marshall
show slight increase, while Hancock
shows decrease Now in view OF all
this, the inquiry Is naturally suggested:
II we are assessed justly arc not many
other counties assessed too little? or rice
cer,d, if their assessment is Just
is not that OF Ohio county too great?
This is tho main point of interest to our
people TO be to-day decided

TIE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND
THE CURRENCY.

Latest advices received from the Demo
cratic caucus i'll Washington up 10 the
present time, are that the party las lot
agreed on a financial policy. nor is it
certain that they will do so for sometime
TO come fiat all. Well! If they do not,
it will be matter really of little conse-
ouence The Radicals, of course, would
like to see the financial issue a
leading one in the Presidential CAM
paign; for they think that, rs
was the case in Ohio last Fall, this issue
may divert attention from the long lit
of shortcomings which will be brought
forward against them, and which viii
thus, in measure, be concealed. Blu; it
is verv different with the Demo cracy.
They have no need to admit any new is
sues into the canvass, and, in some re-
speots. to DO so would be decidedly wrong.
Not only would it have the tendency To-
demoralize our party to a certain ex-
tent, since there are so many conflicting
views on the subject bat it would. rs
above alluded 10, be playing indirectly
into the hands of our enemies.
Again. At this time, even should the
Democracy become harmonized
thoroughly on this financial question,
nothing substantial could be accomplished
BY it. Unless they decide to leave the
matter as it is, they must, of course, dc
eide to repeal the act looking to forced
resumption of specie payments in 1879.
Under present circumstances, should
q bill to that effect be passed in the
House, it would not get through a
Radical Senate; but if, by any
means, it should also pass that body, the
President would certainly veto it, so the
only result would be a lengthy dis
custom, much heat developed, and the
whole matter ending just where it began.
On this question, then, it is evident
that the Democrats have everything to
lose and nothing to gain. If, therefore,
