THEORY OF THUNDER STORMS

In an article on this subject in the
New York Evening Post, after giving its
theory Of the cause, thus alludes to some
of the freakish effects Of lightning:
at is commonly thought that there is
more danger from lightning in the coun-
try than in the cities, but statistics would
seem to show a greater number of acct
dents from living in the cities than local.
tiles of corresponding size in the country.
About fifteen years since. in a storm of
two or three hours duration, lightning
struck in thirty different places in this
city and suburbs.
1t is probable that upwards of fifty per.
sons are annually killed by lightning in
the United States, and it may be truly
said that in most cases these deaths are
the result of rashness or carelessness on
the part of the victims. A great many
persons are killed by taking refuge from
the rain under the trees in the open fields.
Their presence renders the tree more liza
BILE to be struck because the human body
is a better conductor than the tree, and
therefore, safer to get wet than to run
the risk consequent upon taking shelter
in a thunder storm.
In buildings, the safest position is a
horizontal one in the midst of a room,
and care should be taken that the body
be not placed between two good conduc-
tors, such as for example, q mirror in one
room, and a stove funnel iu the room be-
meath !; because lightning in passing
through. a building selects the best con.
ductoPg, and occasions destruction on its
way from one conductor to another
Some years since a person was killed
while standing in front Of a mirror by a
discharge of lightning, which passed
across the quick silver coating of the
glass, thence down his body to the floor,
and through that to the stove-fannel i'm
mediately beneath. Mr.. Hatch, of Pough-
keepsie, was killed while seated in a
chair on the piazza of his house with his
head leaning back against the bell.knob.
Persons have been killed while standing
at a door or window during Q thunder
storm. A mar was killed in West New.
ton, Mass, a few years since, while sitting
between a boiler inside of a building, and
a lightning rod outside, the discharge
leaving the rod and passing through his
body on its way through the building
1t is proper to add, that the lightning
rod was insulated by glass ~fastenings, and
that there is no doubt of the efficacy of
lightning rods when they are constructed
and applied on proper scientific princi-
Piles. Protecting buildings from light
ming, however, is something like prescrib-
ing for a sick person. the success of the
prescription in either case depending, I'M
der Providence on a degree of knowledge,
skill and experience possessed by no ply
stefan.

Early Piety.

The following story is acknowledged
a +" good un," bat I believe it has not be,
fore found its way into the papers,
A lew years since, some roghish boys
In a town not a thousand miles distant
from the capital of New Hampshire, per.
suaded Joseph n, or, as he was
generally called, zoe" to attend Sun
day school. Joe was an oVergrown half.
wltted, profane lad, and the bows had an
ticipated considerable fun cut of him !;
but the answers to the various questions
propoHnded were given so readily and
correctly, that no one could for a moment
suppose that he was not fully versed in
theological lore.
Joe was duly ushered in and placed on a
settee IN front of the one in which his
friends wure seated, and the recitation
commenced,
The teacher frst questioned the class
on their regular lesion. and afterwards
turned to Joe.
My friend" said the teacher, who
made the world we inhabit 2"
"Eh?" said Joe, turning up his eyes,
like an expiring calf
Who made the world we inhabit az
Just as. he was probably about to give
the answer, one of the boys, seated be-
hind, inserted a pin into his (Joe's) pants
about nine inches below the ornamental
buttons of the coat.
"God Almighty" answered Joe in an
elevated tone, at the same time rising
quickly from his seat,
THAT is correct" replied the teacher
" but it is not necessary that you shonld
rise in answering a sitting posture was
just as WE'LL"
Joe was seated, and the catechism pro-
ceeded.
"Who died to save the world ?"
The pin was again inserted; and Joe
replied, Jesus Christ" in a still louder
voice, rising as before, from his scat.
"That is@also correct but 90 not mani,
fest so much feeling /; do be more eo4I-
posed, and more reserved in your maa-
ner," in an exp~ostulating tone.
After Joe had calmed down, the exam
~ination went on.
"What will be the final doom of all
wicked men ?" was the subject now up
for consideration, and as the pin was
again " stuck in," Joe Numbered out with
a higher elevation of his-body, " hell and
%damnation.
"My young friend, said the instructor,
you give the true answers to all these
questions ; but while you are here, we
wish you to be more mild in your words.
Do endeayor, if you can. to restrain ynnr
enthusiasm and give a less extended scope
to your feelings.

and some write it in their lives. The
true heroism which poets have sung, the
beauty of self.abnegation and of cease
devotion to duty, which have been
their inspiration, Ralph Hale has lived.
The woman who has won the deepest
love OF such a heart should reverently
and gratefully cherish it, as the richest
blessing of her life."
In the dwight of that day, Margaret
was waiting her husbands return. Amid
the bitter selfreproachings that darken-
ed the hour, CLEANED a new and holy
ilght: Higher purposes we're aroused

she was clasped in her husbands arms

Margaret's heart"
In that hour, all was made clear be
tween them. With new resolves for tn
future, with a deeper love for each other
and a prayer for strength, another pag
of life was turned for them.
Years afterwards, Margaret. a prou'
and happy wife, wrote, 81 cannot tel

H LAST VOYAGE.

At shut of day they sat and talked.
In their old house by the sea
Ths weather-beaten Solomon,
And his good wife, Marsalee.
"The sun looks like a ship" he said,
"That is nearly come to land;
The startling beam, like a plank pushed out
( To take aboard some hand"
And when, at length, the gold-baeked clouds
Creuched in the dark, from view,
He said, 1t will be a stormy night;
May the good ship weather through"
At last the old wife, Marsalee,
Could win no answering word;
The ship wus gone, the plank hauled in,
And Solomon was aboard.

Immediately robbed him of his watch and

Continuing his journey, he was met
before noon by another armed company,
whose captain stopped him, and asked TO
which side he belonged. The Frightened
traveler-supposing all the rovers to be
Missourians-promptly replied hat he
was Pro Slavery. This band, which
CHANGED to be Free State, immedia-
tely took his horse from him, and left
him to go on, on foot.
He continued his trip, however, and
just at night was stopped by a third band,
who asked the same old question. The
unfortunate traveller was fairly non-pluss-
ed, but at last asked.

Cows N SUGAR.-Traveling a few
days in Missouri, in sections where the
cows have a wide range we heard a new
enticement to bring the COWS home regu-
larly at evening. That was, feeding
them with sugar the same as you would
with salt. A little handful at evening.
at the same time of day, would bring
them back to the gate with regularity
as unfailing as the sun. After they are
well trained in sugar eating, it may be
omitted every other night. a halfdozen
notable house wives assured me that the
fact was well worth knowing.-O Ohio Far
