STRANGE FREAK OF NATURE. "A strange
freak of nature has taken place in the
track OF the severe hail storm that oo.
ourred in the region OF Ooote's store,
Rockingham County, Va, some three
weeks ago. We are not aware of any
thing OF the kind occurring heretofore.
1t is this: That all the orchards in tho
track of the hail storm have come ont in
full bloom. Some orchards are in as
full bloom as they ever were in the
spring Not only the apples are in
bloom, but the locust trees in many
places are also in bloom. A gentleman
came to my house last week and told me
on hia road here he saw an apple tree
with several bushels of ripe apples on it
and thousands of bloom on the same
tree. A very pretty but strange sight. q

KITTY,s CHOICE.

A wealthy old farmer was Absalom Lee,
He had but one daughter, the mischievous
Kitty; -
So fair and SO good, and so gentle was she,
That lovers came woOing from country and
city,
The first and the boldest to ask for her hand
Was trimly-dressed dandy, who worshiped
She replied, with smile he could well under
stand,
"That she married no:ape for the sake of his
skinF'
The next was a merchant from business re-
tired,
Rich, equity and grufr-a presuming old sim
ner:
Young Kitty's fair form and sweet face he ad-
mired,
And thought to himself, az can easily win
80 he showed her his palace and made bluff
And said, she might live there; but wickedly
Kitty told him she'd long ago made rash vow
Not to marry bear Tor the sake Of his den |"
miGer came next; he was fearless and bold
In claiming his right to fair Kitty's affec-
He said she'd not want for a home while his
gold
Could pay for cabin to give her protection.
Half vexed at his holiness, but calm in a trice,
one cuItsled, and thanked him, and blush
Demurely repeated her sage aunt's advice,
'Not 10 marry a hog for the sake ofhis penn
The next was farmer, young, bashful ard
shy;
lie feared the bold wooeTs who came from
the city;
But the flush on his cheek, and the light in
his eye
Soon kindled flame in the bosom of Kitty.

GREAT INCREASE OF MOHAMME-
DAN POWFR IN CHINA.

4 late number of the Saturday Re
UielC has favorable notice of 'tJourneys
in North China, Manchuris, and Eastern
Mongolia; with some account of Cores,
by the Rev. Alexander Williamson, B. A.
The ReUie1U says:
some important fact which Mr.. Viii
hanson notices, and which may possibly
before long largely affect the future of
China, is the presence in all the large
towns of the provinces through which he
travelled of numerous and pOpulOus colo
MES of Mohammedans. These people,
aliens by descent, and followers of hos
tile creed, are very generally regarded
with distrust and fear by the native Chi
nese And there can be no doubt that
their presence is source of real danger
to the powers that be. The huge wave
of Mohammedan instruction which has
been surging over the whole Of Central
Asia, has already broken with much vio-
lence upon the western frontiers of China.
The province of Yunnan has for some
time been entirely in the hands of the
followers of the Prophet, and at this mo-
ment their brethren are waging an equal
war against the armies of the Empue in
the west and northwest. Any really ma
terial advantage gained by these rebels
would be the signal for The whole Mo-
hammedan population of China to rise
against their rulers, and there can be no
doubt that SO vast combined movement
would have little difficulty in overthrow
ing the cffcte forces of The present used
up dynasty. In spite of the support
given by the European Powers to the
Government of the present Emperor, by
means Of which it was enabled to tide
over the destruction with which it was
threatened at the hands of the Tapping
rebels, every day furnishes fresh proof
that the administration of the Empire is
rotten 10 the core. ANY violent bows
struck either from without or by the Ieb-
els from within, would cause the whole
fabric to collapse completely and tie
position which the MOhammedans occu-
py throughout the country renders it
more than probable that, in such con-
tingency to them would fall the sCeptre
which the ManchOO rulers have proved
themselves powCrless any longer TO wield.
Viewing things il this light, it is ] fact
worth remembering that wherever MIR.
Williamson went he was received with
open arms by the Mohammedans, who
claimed connection with him as being fell
ow-worshippers of the same Coda
bond which, in the event of revolu
ton such as VIC have indicated, would do
more 30 cement friendly alliance be
tween China and foreign nations than
twenty treaties made at the point of
the bayOnct, with the present
faithless and hostile dynasty, could pos
sibly effect

A spRING.rrmE ouIRP.


The blue birds and the robins red
This morning came in pairs;
The blue birds with much modesty,
The robbins with some airs.
The morning winds moved gently
The reddening maple tree,
Where the blue birds and the robins
Piped their spring time miEstrelsy.
The audience room was very large.
The audience rather small
Peering through half-closed window blinds,
One Family CIRCLE all.
The curtain rose at break of day,
Dissolving into air;
The singer. promptly were in place,
For morning praise and prayer.
The little chirping solo'sts,
And choristers as well,
THRILLED clearly all the highest notes.
And to the lowest fell
SO perfectly, in time and tune
So biithelv and so gay,
While the King of Day from the eastern sky
Threw his robes of night away.
And in his car Of molten gold,
With cloud steeds snowy white,
On perGumed breath-the morning air,
Rode up the empyTean height,
In regal robes and royal state,
Passing our maple tree,
Where the blue birds and the robins
Sang their morning melody.
No flats. no sharps, not one false note,
None hired TO cry "encoTe;''
The daily programme warbled through,
All this and nothing more,
Comprising sprin time songs of joy,
At early break of day,
From the blue birds and the robins,
In genuine matinee.
With earnest listeners only
With only those who hear
The song of the birds in spring time,
With eager listening ear;
The sky for an auditorium,
The budding trees for bowers,
For a guest the sun of the morning;
Such are very precious hours.
But, all, the concert closes
Too soon, by far, each day,
And we look, and wait, and listen,
As the bird-notes die away
In the dim and vaulted distance
OF the blue, ethereal sky,
Leaving rainbow tints of beauty,
At our feet, as the world goes by.

SPRING..
BY s. n. MARSHALL,

/,
The sun OF spring with generous bsaR,
Sheds its warmth DER the earth serene:
The winds in peace tbro' every grove
in whispering voices wandering rove.
FiOcks OF birds with sweetest trill,
Gather near the winding rill,
To sip its drops, or battle the II wings,
Or listen to its mUrmUringz.
III.
The lily grows upOn its brink,
And bends her head as ITO drink
The refreshing waters as they pass
Or see her beauty in its glass.
The tloNery mead and purple heath,
Show nature in its faiTest sheath,
And laden gale with perfume, breatnes
Ger the fields and thro' the trees.
The clouds drop down the gentle rain;
The beauteOuS flowers smile again:
COntentment everywhere Is seen,
Aud gladncss TeignS supreme as queen.
The darkest hooks of life are bright
With Joy, and the reviving light
DescendS in silent blessings down,
DispClling every trace of winters frown.

The McMinDville Nea0 Era says; ''The
prospects for fruit in our county is more
flattering than it tas been for many years.
The peach trees are literally loaded, and
the apple crop is equal to any we have
ever enjoyed. The small fruits are in
abundance" In this connection we may
state that Mr.. Hart, the late Tennessee
Senator from the Robertson district, was
in Nashville day OF two since to attend
q railroad meeting, and informed us that
in his section of country it was feared by
many that the apple crop would be a total
failure, owing to want Of bloom. In
other parts of the State some damage has
been done by frost, but in many sections
the prospects are favorable for large
crop,
