The Little Worm Peddler.

No trade is less hon rable for being ODD.
A good many boys we know would hardly
have the courage to be angle worm mer-
chants; but SO long as there is nothing
better to do, it is as good way as any to
turn an honest penny.
A gentleman who had been visiting the
White Mountains, on his way down saw
little boy get on the stage with box filled
with earth.

each other as he passed, and women
would shut their eyes and look knowing.
But, whether Ms power had gone or not,
hers remained; and he cared not fig for
their laughing, for he was happy in the
beautiful spell of affection which she
threw over him, th'' bound him as a

The attempt to close her eyes was never

Slipshod or Running Down at the
Heel.

Shoes without counters or stiff ming,
when carelessly worn, are apt to jut over
and soon run down, and thus present q
most untidy and unsightly appearance.
Did it ever occur to the reader that there
is striking re emblance between old Slip
shou shoes and certain characters? Such
likeness may be seen in many careless
persons we meet They are no less slip
shod and careless in morals and in their
habits than in the way they wear their
shoes. Easily tempted to 60 astray, they
can motor do not-say No when they
ought They yield first to one little temp
tatlon, telling wrong story, then to
ano her to cover that up, and 60 60 on
from bad to worse till their moral sensi
bilities are blunted, and like poor old
shoe, are run down at the heel. There is
no stiffening in them. They do not stand
up to right and duty, but 60 shutting
along, going lower and lower, and at
asylum, or prison.
Young men begin or take their first
steps in slpshod life by neglecting daily
dcvotions; by disobediencn; by violating
paren al authority by selfishly appropri-
ating to themselves that which belongs
equally to Others Grecdiness, gluttony,
dishonesty, eye service, deception, smok-
ing, chewing, or drinking on the sly'-
all these things lead directly to running
down at the heel"
Hon to keep up-Dress the feet, body,
and mind with proper care keep the shoes

T0rnadoes aud Water-SpOuts.

| PROFESSOR WHITFIELD gives in the
american Journal Of Science the following
statement relative to tornadoes and water
spouts:
| One of the most remarkable accOmpani-
ments of the tornado is the black column,
or spout, extending from the cloud down
to the surface 1t precisely resembles q
column of black smoke, such as pours
from the pipes of steamer burning pine
wood; it is, in fact, condensed vapor or
cloud intensified in blackness by the dust
and rubbish carried up from the ground.
! The tornado is shell, or hollow cylin-
der of air. and all its energy lies in its TO
tary rim, which is powerful y compressed
by two antagonistic frees, centrifugal and
centripetol. The rapid Whirl draws the
air from the center towards the c'rcumter
ence, where it is met and opposed by the
| inrushing winds. There is, ,nsequently,
raretaction, q great reduction of TEN.
perature by expansion, and condensation
of vapor within the shell.
The spout does not hug the earth con.
tinuously, but rebounds or rlcochets along
the uneven surface, often skipping the
| valleys, but generally desolating the hills
1t is disposed, however, ut every recur-
renee 20 strike at the same po nts. 1t is
not an established fact, but it is commonly
believed, and with some reason, that the
tornado does, in the course of years, return
along its beaten pa h, and that it is unsafe
to build where one has ever passed. A
house in Pickens County stood on hill
from which log cab n had been blown
away some thirty years bef re- l witness
ed the last of three which had passed
along the same track. Near fernando,
Miss, three have followed an unvaryiDg
line. 1t is probable that there are some
localities more favorable than others to the
generation of these st orms, and if this be
true, then the law of direction, hereafter
explained, accounts for their progress
along the indicated path.
Such AL opportunity, as fell to my lot, of
witnessing the formation and course Of a
tornado Is rarely enjoyed, and the pheno
mena observed on that occasion are of
great Value in illustrating the origin of
these whirlwinds. On the 29th of April,
1867, at ten o'clock, an, was approach.
ing Tuscaloosa, on the Elyton road, the
general direction being east and west.
The weather was hot and oppressive, while
perfect calm prevailed both at the sur
face aud in the upper regions, for the
l,aves were not stirred upon the trees, and
the heavens were covered with trag
mentary clouds, perfectly at lest Occa
sionally large drops of rain tell, and there
was, now and then, lightning. The atmo-
sphere was evidently surCharged with
vapor, and in condition of great electri
cal excitement. At the distance of three
and half miles from town, an elevated
