The Evenings Ahead.

The cream of the year is to be skinned
from its long and tranquil evenings
which begin now at an earlier hour every
day. To such as dwell in the country
the contrast is striking one between the
outdoor life of summer and the indoor
enjoyments and attractions of winter
The evenings that are coming, that are.
in fact, of notable length already, are too
precious to be squandered in stores and
shops, indulging in tickle gossip and list.
less conversation. Put to the right use,
they are more than gold and silver to
any one. In the first place, some sort of
systematic reading of studious charac.

but brief, and such as one is confident he

ward would be too plain to be denied.
People do not go along through life with.
out impressions from outside; they have
a choice of what those impressions shall
be and whence they shall be derived, and
if they prefer not to exercise it they sim

and command their attention. A mind

reflections of its own preference obvi.

rious.
Because the farmer labors and grows
weary with his work, but not more than
the mechanic does, he too readily sur
renders himself to the habit of thinking
that his mind is tired, too, and requires
rest with his body. The truth is, how.
ever, that the mind never becomes tired;
it is the body that does that, and then is
apt to drag down its tenant to its own
level; but to much greater extent than
is generally supposed the mind is capa-
BILE, with repeated exertions, of relieving
physical lassitude and helping the body
to recuperate without falling into forget
fulness.
1t is very true that book cannot be
studied when the one porting over it is
inclined to drowsiness, but possibly
lighter suppers and earlier ones, with
perhaps brief stretch On the lounge,
would help tighten the physical burden
and give the mind fair play. An exciting
book can keep a sleepy person awake,
and the habitual exercise of the will
over such as do not wholly appeal tc the
imagination might produce an equal
effect. 1t is in the indiv idual, after all.
To make up the determination to turn
those valuable evenings of the approach
ing winter to good account is to half do
the work; but let not the plan laid out be
too extensive; curtail it to even meager
dimensions, and the satisfaction expert
enced from having mastered it instead Of
being mastered by it will so stimulate one
that insensibly he will press forward to
man.

Fortunes in Small Ways.

The New York correspondent of the
Boston Journal writes: "One can count
on his ten fingers the heavy merchants
that have stood unmoved during quar-
ter of a century. The heaviest houses
topple down and the richest men pass
out of sight. But there is a class of men
who maintain uninterrupted prosperity.
These are men who began small, had a
specially, always sold the exact article
they professed, kept grubbing on from
year to year, and waited for fortune till
she chose to appear. One of the heaviest
paperhouses in New York was begun by
man who was a rag-picker. He began
in the smallest possible way. When he
had only small basketful he assorted
them fairly and honestly. He soon got
the confidence of the trade. His rags
were always the quality he represented;
and he walked over the course, always
making progress, always making
money. In his immense warehouse
to-day buyers are sure to find
when they get home the exact article
that they purchased. Some years ago
man set up little cigar store. His
specially was that he would not keep
domestic cigar on his shelves. The arti-
Gle that he sold was invariably good, and
he made fortune There are half
dozen old caterers in New York They
are fifty and sixty years old. Two or
three of them are in cellars or in small
rooms. The floor Of each is sanded; the
seats are without backs; the tables with
out cloths; the head of the house waits
on his customers, coat off, white apron
around his waist, the perspiration on his
forehead; he broils and stews and fries
for bis customers. Everything about the
room is just as it was thirty years ago.
In these little dens from twelve to two
one cannot sit or stand for the crowd.
The first merchants in New York fill the
place. Chops, beefsteaks, hams, English
mutton are specialties. The man who
waits on these clerks and merchants
could buy house on Fifth avenue and
live in it if he wanted to-

Mrs. Thomas Gibbs was badly hurt, and

The railroad bridge was blown away,
and the eastern-bound train from Mem

no lives were lost.
An appeal for aid has been made, as
follows:
AT meeting of the citizens of Tuscumbia,
Ala, at the Court House on Monday, Nov. %,
the undersigned were appointed a committee
TO publish an address and to make an appeal
to the public with reference to the terrible
calamity which has befallen our community.
On Sunday evening, Nov. ~, a fearful tornado
passed over our city, destroying many houses
and putting to instant death a number Of our
citizens. Over one-third of our town is laid
In ruins. The Deshlar Female Institute, just
completed at cost Of some $4,000, the
Catholic Church, several large and elegant
brick mansions and large number OF frame
buildings were totally destroyed. Many build
ings are also more or less injured. The fair
ground buildings and twelve mills we're also
destroyed. In one house the parents and four
children, composing the entire family, were
instantly killed. The wife and four children
of j. Burns Moore were buried beneath the
ruins Of his fallen house. But two Of the num-
Der, children, were taken out alive.
The amount Of property DESTROYED is esti-
lamity has necessarily brought grief, great
distress and restitution upon our community.
More than fifty houses being wrecked, many
families are homeless and penniless, and need
immediate aid. The citizens will do all in
their power TO relieve the suffering and
needy, put help Is earnestly solicited from
abroad, as the town is so impoverished it can
not possibly supply the needed help. God
has brought this desolation upon us, and we
confidently appeal to all persons throughout
the country TO aid us In this our hour OF ca
lamity. Donations from any source will be
thankfully received, and may be forwarded to

Broken and worn, they are slowed away

The spiders creep on the dingy wall;
They weave their webs in the corners bare,
And nothing human disturbs them there.
