Destructive Tornado,
BETuT,UEM. :Ju1v

A fearful tornado passed over the
lower end of Lehigh and upper end of
Bucks county yesterday afternoon,
doing immense damage to buildings,
fences, fruit and shade trees, and grow
ing crops. At Allentown number of
houses and stables were unroofed and
blown down. The bridge across Sieg-
fried's Greek, on the Lehigh Valley
Road, was completely demolished.
Nearly every bridge within three miles
of Siegfried's was either damaged or
destroyed. Below this place for miles,
trees were uprooted BY the wholesale,
and buildings were blown down A
Springfield township, Bucks County
the roof of barn, which had been lift
ed by the wind, came down on funer-
al procession, instatly killing man and
injuring several other persons. The
storm was the most severe for many
years, and the damage to crops is i'm
mense.

After singing the convention was well
coined to the city by His Honor the
Mayor, W. L. Putnam.
Rev. DR.. Carruthers followed the Ma
yor, welcoming the delegates in the
name of the Churches and the Young
Mems Christian Association, of Port
land.
Singing followed,
Soldiers in the ranks of Jesus"
while the chairman was calling for
which, Gen. Howard appeared upon
the stage, and was very enthusiastical-
ly received.
Ex-Gov. Pollock, delegate from the
Young Mems Christian Association of
Philadelphia, was the first to respond
on the part of the city's guests.
Gov. Pollock continued his address
in an eloquent strain for some time,
and closed by expressing the earnest
desire that the convention might seize
the forces now operating in society,
and use them to bring the world re-
deemed home to God. He was warm
ly applauded.
Eloquent addresses followed by Will
lam Z. Dodge, Jr., General Clinton B.
Fisk, of Missouri, and FL. Thane Mil
Ter. who said they always put him last,
SO as to announce that they introduced
him with "great pleasure" because
there were no more to come.
The exercises were interspersed with
singing, and it was most glorious to
hear that vast multitude, singing with
all their hearts and voices such grand
old tunes as "Zion, " Italian Hymn
"Harwell" and "America." So ended
the first day and if I have been long
and prosy, please remember that half
remains unwritten. If you have no
Reporter at Portland who can be brief,
and yet all comprehensive, it certainly
is not the fault of Yours truly
JERSEY.

CIRCULATION UNRlVALLED
In ELIZABETH.

Gssg@ Remarkable contrasts characte-
rize city life. Close beside humble
cottages, elegant mansions rear their
lofty roof trees. Tall spires that indi-
cate the home of virtuous people,
cast their shadows on close-barred win
dows, behind which desperate men
not unfrequently plot fresh outrages
against society, or curse the hour that
gave them birth. A narrow space di-
vides crowded cemetery from throngs
eager in pursuit of wealth or pleasure.
Stately edifces devoted to the diffusion
of useful knowledge may be found in
close proximity to haunts of Vice, from
which men emerge by stealth to startle
the community by acts of violence.
The diversities of human character
and condition are manifold. Saint and
sinner, the learned and illiterate, the
children of Opulence and Poverty's
numerous brood, jostle each other in
crowded highways. Dives and Lazarus
reside in the same locality, but their
aspirations differ widely as the antipo-
des. 1t requires vast stretch of the
imagination to suppose that they are
members of one great family. They
certainly have no interests in common.
Neither is happy, for Lazarus is poor
and afflicted, and his wealthy neighbor
strives to satisfy the cravings of an i'm
mortal mind with unsubstantial food.

Bar Ever since Cain slew his young
er brother, Death has surprised his
victims under every variety of circum-
stance. On the ensanguined plain,
amid the roar of battle on the great
lines of travel, where swift-m owing
trains are hurled against each other
with tremendous force on the tempes-
tuous ocean, where proudest olks of art
are crushed by resistless waves, the sons
of men quickly close their eyes forever
on all the beautiful objects by which
they are surrounded. Death visits the
house of prayer, and thousand listen
ers are awe-stricken when the orator S
eloquent tongue falters and his words
of encouragement and entreaty abrupt
ly cease. The presence of the unwel-
come messenger in scenes of gayety is
not unfrequent. While nimble feet
keep pace to exquisite music, an APP
palling cry announces that the daugh-
ter of many hopes has untimely perish
ed. But why multiply instances OF
sudden death, which devont men pray
to be delivered from as a great evil !?
We are constantly reminded of our NOR
tality, but have only time to cite one
more case: The morning papers tell
us that "the roof of barn, which had
been lifted by the wind, came down on
funeral procession, instantly killing a
man named Sides, resident of Berks
county, Pennsylvania" j. s. D.

KEEP CooL.-When the mercury gets
up among the nineties, there is but one
thing for all reasonable people to do /;
they should keep cool.
There are various ways of keeping
cool. People who can afford it, get as
far away from the hot bricks and NOR
tar of the hot city as they can. and
comfort themselves, "sub tegmine fagi''
of the rural districts, or in the cool,
clear atmosphere of the hill country, or
best of all, perhaps, among the glorious
breakers of the Atlantic surf People
who can not afford this, stay at home,
which, under the circumstances, is the
most rational thing they can do. To these
rational beings, spending these logged
est of dog days in the city because they
cannot get away, We repeat Keep
cool
Possibly some may not know how to
keep cool in this weather. Let such
hear the words of wisdom. The most
important thing to be done is to avoid
getting in heat. Be not over-indulgent
concerning meats and drinks. Keep
within doors, as much as may be, and
house shut up. Dress very little, and
fuss still less. Calmness of spirit is a
wonderful promoter of GOODNESS of body.
Study not the thermometer, and talk
mildly about the weather Stay quiet
ly at home, and-keep cool. Concern
yourself little with the sorrows ofhouse-
keeping. Buy off the organ-grinder at
your corner, if needs be, with the half
of your kingdom. No one can keep
cool, with an organ-grinder at his cor
ner. Let yonr mind be gently occupied
with pleasant thoughts. Get your bills
paid. Be patient with your cook, your
your washer-woman, your mosquitoes.
Ard having done all, make up your
mind to-keep cool
