MIScELLAN FMS,
AUNT y DCRINDA'S LEGACY.
"Little Rine—that is wluit I. have ; alTaYa
heard you called. Pray, Miss Blanchfor.d;
what is your name'?"
A smile an# a dimple, a blush and then a
laugh, while six of Miss Blenchford'n
adwic
•>_rs waited for her answer..
"I am named for my dear. old-feshioned .
aunt D..oriuda," she said, addressing ILewaid
Llwellyn, who had asked. the question.
" Having two•of the name in the family, I,
the younger, am'cidled hittici Biu. , It isn't
pretty name, or romantic, but very con
venient, and so appropriate:"—drawing her
self-to-her full graceful height, and making
her companions n- .sweeping courtesy; for
Miss Blanchford, though not "little;" Was
beautiful, and a belle, and masculine homage
attended her every footstep.
The party were at the Osprey Houle down
on Comorant Cape, iu the finest of the fine
summer weather; and 'as the young lady
spoke, she turned and pointed to:one of the
prettiest of the shore Cottages.
• "There is 'my aunt .Dorinda's 'summer
house," she Said.
" Is Mrs. General Blenville your; aunt?"
asked Llwellyn, with ari involuntary surprise,
rivhile the others politely whistled under their
litreatb, and Miss Blancbford nodded, lightly.
A moment more and the group had sepa
rated, Aubrey Pillars taking Geoffrey Thorne
by the arm, andleading him Off to whisper
in his car, "Mrs. General Blefiville is very
old—very eccentric—but therichest, woman
I know; and if Little Biu . ,
her niece, she
-must be an heiress, as , well as a belle and a
beauty." -.
The others exchanged much the same con
fidences. Llwellyu alone said nothing, but
walked away thinking. He had often Won
dered how a girl could be L as beantifid- as
Miss Blanchford and not be spoiled; and
now it turned out that she was, in perspec
tive, rich, he marveled still more. So gen
erous, so unaffected, so simple, so. sweet
tempered—and, ho had seen her , temper
severely tried by her father. In ; contrast
with his sisters—the only women he_ knew
well-rshe did not seem to be, likewise, of
flesh and" blood. His spirits fell. He' had
come to that' quiet place for the summer,
much harassed by care, thinking to' see no
one he would care for, and yet he believed
now that ho bad found _ the one I woman
.whom, of all the world, he could' lOve. Of
,late his business losses had been heavy, but
-. lthey had not caused him great despondency
until this summer, when ho was obliged to
realize that he was oomparativelyi a poor
maw Ithe offeredhimealf to Little Bin, he
certainly believed her father would ,counsel
her to reject him. Not that Mr. Cuthbert
Blancliford was a 'curmudgeon. On the. con
trary, ; he was a man of brilliant parts,
socially ; but be was an , opittrit.eatex, and his
temper uncertain.
At times he was Very tyrannical,- though
he certainly Toted his daughter, Who; was his
only child, and was very proud of her. 'But
they were not wealthy, and be bad; openly
avowed his wish to have his daughter marry
3 rich nuns. Certainly Little Itin, with her
accomplishments, her lightness and grace,
did not teem fitted to be the wife of !a poor
man. -Ho had better not dreani of it. But
Comorant, Cape, with its filie outlook, its
free breezes, its pleasant nooks, mullet&
bad lost its satidactikm. He grew restless ;
there weal gnawing pain of his heart. It
amazed him to find that ho had hoped. , '
The rustle of Miss Blanchford's
gray dress upon the piazza aroused . him
a fit of despondency.
"It is very'naughty to be idle," said a
musical voice. "Come and take care of me
while I go down on the roCkeand.catr,h some
smelts for papa's breakfast. 1
Ho rose from the rustic bench quickly.
Miss Blatuhford had a stm-hat with tnrquois
blue ribbons tipped over her face, a, fishing
rod iu her slender gloved hand.. She
addressed him with her usual gay frankness,
and led the way . down., upon the -rocks,
merrily talking. -
"'I love to steal awhile away, don't
yen ?' n she quoted. I ,r We haire nice • social
times here—the boarders are very agreeable.;
but it's so deliciously quiet out here-4t rests
one." .1'
Ho bad baited her heal and put :the rod
into her band. Then held a drooping branch
of thee - lit:tee' tree to shelter her face. Then
he
the'
and watched the perfect contour of
roseate cheek and dimpled \ chin, while
she dropped the hook into the water and
quietly waited. Suddenly the lovely eyes,
bluercthan the ribbons, looked full up.
'f Hasn't this been a delightful summer lo
she said.
"It has been tome," he said. Something
fbahed from his gray. eyes into • her tine
ones; the white lids fen quickly. , •
"But it is past," he added after pause.
t
"Igo home to-morrow."
The Moe-ribboned hat brim suddenly tell
a little lower. Standing above her,•he could
seeonly the dimpled chin now, and could
not know that a chill seemed to turrOtonehed
the Satin cheek. It Was white as the earling
-crests beneath. But her tong had changed
when she spoke again : i --
- "I 'appose we, too, WM go before the
mouthis oat." • .• • •
He felt the change, yet dared alit believe
it, and kept. bravely silent; but when a
lireesa-' suddenly • blew the concealing bat
back upon the graceful shudders, a.face afi
pale, grieved, and changed, was shown him.
The revelation was to much.
"Lot me tell yori n why . the stammer has
been so pleasant to_ e t " he said, "because `
the sweetest wonuna have ever known has
bean so much my cempanion. And Igo to.
morrow, much as I Would like to stay, be.
cauie—let me say: I say it without .
hope,—l love her.*
twenty years they did not meet or commu
nieate. Meanwhile aunt had married Gen.
end Blenville and grown old; meanwhile . I
was born. Thoughpapa had not gratified
1 One little moment all watt still but the
clashing of the waters and the thrill cries of
the snowy wheeling gulla, Then the bine
of the lovely eyes shone out.' .!

Then'she spntg, langldtig, from his em

efforts to deaden the pain ; and while he was•
wishing that he could change places with
Napoleon for a day or two, the dentist grasp
ed Jahn* the hair, threw his head back,
iusertedihe can opener in his mouth, and
began groping around for the bad tooth.
When hc.3found it, his usual plan was to
crush it to pieces and dig out the fraginents,
one at a time. During the operation the
sufferer groaned, and moaned, and yearned
for'death. When the dentists got his grap
pling irons r around thii root of a 'Amble
tooth, and braced himself up with his foot
against the wall for long pull, a strong
pull,l , aud a pull all together, the patient
thought that the end of all things were at
hand, that an explosion had occnred in the
cellar, and that the heavens were rolling
themselves up as a scroll, while the top of
his heCd was being broken off, and his var.
tebra was being - jammed down Into the hol
low of his legs. • When he was calmed with
a glass of water he found that the alarming
sensations he had experienced were caused,
as the dentist put it, by thd extraction of
the molar from the alveolar cavity." • 1
The modern dentist is a different kind of
an aggravated outrage. He has a Canoga
diploma thathe keeps hanging on the wall
in a tin case,He usualy has a nicely
nished operating room, where he has an
,elaborate chair, working on Orate and
'hinges, that he places the patient in when
,he is pWling his tooth, and another to be
used when a tooth is being tilled. He has
hundreds of hustnuiaga- 7 diudusthra aug
and gouges and scrapers, 'and one vile thing
that scents to Midge about seven liondred
revolutions a minute, and with which ho
bores into the nerve of your tooth until you
feel as if your immortal soul was , being
•tampered with. But the modern 'dentist
'seldom pulls a tooth.. He prefers to fill it
with some gotta perdu) sort of composition,
tor with gold. Yon see the filling mill, , in
the course of time; : come out s e nd then he
gets another job putting it in agalu, whereas,
when he pulls out a tooth ilia ends it ; the
owner of the tooth seldoia ,cares to have it
decorated, or tci scjinindee bullion on it after
it is out. ' He tiredly carries it in his vest
pocket for two or three days; and then
throws it into 6011243 vacant lot. When a
man has an aching tooth that tries to push
itself into prominence, that seems to swell
up and get in the way of everything ho eats,
and to take more of his thought and atten.
tion than. he cat spare, he can go to the
modern dentist, who will fill him up with
gas u n til ho imagines he is a balloon, soar.
iug up almost as high as the dentist's charge
for the Operation, - and hen - ho comes' to
earth again, the tooth will be gone and there
will be a vacant place in his jaw that will
seem to him to be about the',sire, of a town
lot. The painless dentistry ofto.day is las
exciting than the painful dentistry of the
past; but it is otherwise an improvement

One of the most remarkable products of
humanitY known to this generation is Mor

,bat and deaf as a post, and laboring under
such disadvantages that it would be wonder.

Among his inventions is .a leather glove,

Another of his inventions is a mechanical
writing machine, with, which he can write

pricks its way along the paper, and he can
read his own writing by the sense of touch.
Others can use the machine to write out for
him anything not procurable in , blind . type,
and he can then read it with, his fingers and

think they are underpaid. But if they arc
overpaid how is it with the women"? They '
get less salary and - have larger outgoes.
How so? Why, if an actor has a dress -suit

well equippedfor a season, but tffe,...women
have to dreta..each new part: A dress-coat
is a dress-coat in one play as well as anoth.

SEA SICKNESS.
Mirerent Theoilee of Medical Meer am to ha
Cause.
Three people ont'of every four, it ie eels
eultied, haveionly to go to pea in moderately
rough Weather in order to experience the
horrors of sea-sickness. The sufferings of
the Victims of inal de- mei need r.ot be
dilated 'npons their intensity is sufileitullY
vouched for . by snot instances es that of
Cicero, who, when he took rt . :lnge on .board,
a,vessel after his prosers'ptien, suffered so" '
much from sea-sickbesslthat, preferring the
fate that awaited him, ou - shote,. ho landed at
Gap' ta, 'and there suffered des-apitat ion. The
(infs - Con as to whether iife Es worth living is
generally answered hi the negative by the
sea-sick--a se:nisi - lent which was neatly ex
pressed by the Irishimut who told his friend
that at first heves afraid the ship would go
down, but that afterward he feared she
would - not. If farther proof were required
of the 'mirrors of this malady it is assuredly
to be found in the fact that so many of our -
countrymen are prepared, to see a breach
made in Britain's sea-wall if only they eau
thereby be spared the sickening experience
of asp . Channel passage.
.The disease is
growing with the rapid 'growth of ocean
traveling,and the Americans, who are the -
greatest travelers of all, and therefore the
'greatest sufferers, have been giving the sub.-
jut considerable attention of late. Seel
sicktiess has been for some time a popular
topic in New York, and Cousin Joonshau
has of late been interviewing his chiefmedis- •
cal adviers on the question o 1 its preven
tion. Something, however, Mast first be
told as to its cause. It, is no dotibt duo
lit to the motion Of the • vessel; and
especially to the botv-and-stern movement
known ass' pitching." That it is simply a
motion sickness is' proved by the fact that
nnmy suscePtible people have it on land.
We have known ladies to get " sea.sick "
over the rumbling motion of an omnibus on
a hilly road, Ind the motion of a.swing, or
even of a p assenger lift in a hotel, has with
sdme people a similar effect. How the
pitching and rolling of a ship acts on. _ the
Immaii frame sous to produce the physical :
and mental prostration of sea-siekness has
and still is, matter of dispute. the
my recently started' by Dr. Irwin attributes
if to .distnfienice of the fluids in the ben:lick
`cdar canals of the ear. The °teaks, -he -
.
avfm, are washed about by each movement
of , this fluid, and the eilke and terminal
nerve filaments are , thus irritated and abused.
It is ii,snerally recegnizo,l that' irraation of
and kind in these carol, produces nausea and
vOmiting—the usual ecencomitauts of sea- •
sickness_; it is to be remembered, 'however,
that similar effects mat arise from very di
verse-causes. Dr. Chapman, on the other
hand, sees the main prosirwite cause of this
disorder in the presence of au midne amount
of blood iu the.spinal nervous centres, which
renders the nerves proceeding front them
unduly active, with the : result of disturbing
the action of the orgaes—especially the
stomach—whose movements they 'regulate.
In favor cf this theory is the fact that, ,re
cluced to practice, it has been foind
in the prevention of sea-siclmess. The cause
being, according to this theory, , an undue .
amount of blood in the nervasui centres
fikmdtbe back, Dr. Chapman seeks to
son this amount by the application of ice,
and the consequeit lowering, of the -temper.,
attire of the spinal 'region. The testimony
to the efficacy of ice bags placed along -the
spine is too strong to be pains:ad, but the
trouble necessarily attending: their applies.
Lion is such as to prevent the ice cure from
becoming popular in shoit sae voyages- Dr.
Carpenter is inclined to attribute seasick
ness to the continued action on the brain of
a certain set of sensations,
.more particularly
the sensation of the want of support. - Noth
ing is more ' disagreeable than the feeling
consequent on the sudden giving way of a
prop on which one is leaning, and the . con
stant repetition of this sensation every time
the vessel makes its downward movement,
is suppose(' fo produce the nervous derange- .
ment which manifests itself in seasickness.
'On this theory of the malady -being due to
certain sensory impressions, the obvious
method of prevention would lie in -weaken- -
ing as much as possible those impretadons.
How thiS may be done was:shown:lately by
Dr. Ellis in the Lancet, who states that, he
found a complete remedy in carefully attend
ing to the motion of the vessel; and accom
panying, in his mind even, bye Bright steop
ing or pressing -downward 'of the body the
sinking down of the; Vessel's deck, Another
Medical correspondent States that he found
relief by watching the motion of the .vessel`
and as slid wits about to descend making an
- effort as . though to force her down. 'Mutt
mass thus be effected by, conscious effort on ~
the part of the passenger becomes habitnid
in the sailor, whose body follows the' move
ments of the vessel ' unconsciously, and 'in
whom the habit becomes so strong .that a
return td terra firma produces at first a •
marked unsteadiness in f his gait. There are
seamen, however, who never ; , become •gpod
`sailors,"-some being - liable to severe nausea,
during the first few' days of every
_ . voyage, •
add. - others during excepticandly tong,h
!Weather. England's greatest Ado:Ural—
'Lord Nelson—is said to have been one of
those 'who never, got habituated to the
"thud" cif-the sea. That the sailor's usual
immunity from seassiciness is due to an ac.-
"quired faculty of following the movements
of the vessel is further shown by the fact
that a marked change in the character of
those movements is apt to cause seectick.
