Disastrous Storm.

A heavy storm of wind and rain is reported
as prevailing in various parts of the country
on Sunday night last. The greatest damage
occurred in Alabama, and the city of Tuscum-
bia was partially destroyed. Twelve persons
were killed and many others were injured. A
number of the finest residences and public
buildings were destroyed, and many families
are without homes. The Memphis, Mobile
and Chattanooga railroad suffered considerable
damage by bridges and trestles being washed
away, and passenger train was precipltated
in Spring Greek, killing the engineer, and in
juring many passengers. The tornado came
from the southwest, and passed over in north
westerly direction. the storm must have
travelled with great rapidity to reach here be-
fore day on Monday morning. Not much
damage was done in this vicinity, but the gale
was quite severe, accompanied by thunder and
lightning. Rain fell in perfect torrents for a
short while. We have reports that the storm
prevailed in Washington and New jersey on
Monday night, but no further particulars are
given in the telegraphic dispatches.

Medical Institute is case in point. Founded
in good faith many years ago, and the only
establishment of the kind in the country. its
success and ever-increasing popularity finally
caused the name Medical instituted to be pr
rated and adopted by a lot Of infamous quacks

been from the start specially devoted to the
treatment Of nervous arrangements and If
fectiOns. from whatever cause proceeding
During its existence there have been issue
from its several medical publications quite
recently work ON Diseases of the Nervous
System, which have had worldwide circu-
lation and popularity. These publications
sufficiently attest the high character of the
institution under whose patronage these med.
ical works have been published. Meantime
it is gratifying to know that several of the

name to cover their nefarious practices, are
getting their deserts in the penal institutions

Flinging Shadows.

We have no more right to fling an un-
necessary shadow over the spirit of
those with whom we have to do, than
we have to fling a stone and iniure
them. Yet this flinging shadows is a
very common sin, and one to which wo-
men are particularly addicted. Oh,
what blessing is merry, cheerful
woman in household! One whose
spirits are not affected by wet days, or
little disappointments, or whose milk of
human kindness does not sour in the
sunshine of prosperity. Such woman
in the darkest hours brightens the house
like little piece Of sunshiny weather.

cal brightness Of her looks and move.

night, which Mohammed had kindled
when no one was near. He increased
in fame and wealth, and the prophet s
tomb became one Of the great shrines
of the land. At length She;kh Ali
heard Of the new place in the desert and
set out to visit it, bringing presents.
What was his surprise to recognize in
the holy keeper Of the tomb his old
servent Mohammed. 'Salam alay-
kooa,' said Sheikh Ali. sAlay-
koom es Sa!em,' replied Moham-
med. When he asked him how
he came here, and how he found this
tomb, Mohammed replied, ''This tomb
is great 'sirr, or mystery, and l am
forbidden to utter the secret ''But
you must tell me- said Sheikh Ali,
''for I am father to you.'' Moham-
med refused, and Ali insisted until at
length Mohammed said, "My Ledored
Sheikh, you remember having given me
donkey. 1t was faithful donkey,
and when it died buried it. This is
the tomb Of that Donkey ''Mashal-
lah! Mashallahr' said Sheikh Ali.
s'The will of Allah be done - Then they
ate and drank together and renewed
the memory of their former life, and
then Sheikh Mohammed said to Sheikh
Ali: My master, as told you the
s*sirr' of my prophets tomb, 1
wish to know the secret OF yours.
Impossible said Ali, sfor that is one of
the ancient mysteries, too sacred to be
mentioned by mortal lips But you
must tell me, even as 1 told you.'' At
length the old Shiekh Ali stroked his
snowy beard, adjusted his white tur-
ban, and whispered to Mohammed :
'And my holy place is the tomb of that
donkey's father 'Mashallah said
Mohommed, may Allah bless the beard
of the holy donkcys!'"

Aow TAey Finally Cot Married.

One long summer afternoon there
came to Mr.. Davidson's the most
curious specimen of an old bachelor the
world ever heard Of. He was old, gray,
wrinkled and odd. He hated old wo-
men, especially old maids, and wasn't
afraid to say so. He and Aunt Patty
had it hot whenever chance drew them
together; yet still he came, and it was
noticed that Aunt Patty took unusual
pains with her dress whenever he was
expected.
One day the contest waged unusually
strong, and Aunt Patty left in disgust
and went out in the garden.

COMPLICATIONS.
BIZ CHARLES &, HURD.

There stood in garden an apple tree,
White with blossoms as white could be.
There flew in the garden golden bee,
With dear little blossom in love fell he
Both lost their hearts, for the little blossom
Felt stir in the depths OF her pink and
white bosom.
With kiss flew the bee. At his very
next call
The blossom had grown to an apple small.
He grieved, and the peace of the apple
But it could not be helped. The world
would 90 on.
Close under the tree, in his clay built
house,
Dwelt a little soft-hearted mouse.
In secret he sighed: "0h! apple SO fine,
My hole were Heaven if thou wer: mine ="
Again flew the bee, with kiss and VOW,
Returning, the apple hung ripe from the
bough
Both sorrowed. Their summer Of life was
gone,
But it could not be helped. The world
would 60 on.
Close under the caves, like basket, hung
A nest, and in it sparrow sung.
And sighed as he sung: "Oh fruit so fine,
My nest were Heaven if thou vert mine ~
But the bee still sorrowed; hung silent
the fruit,
The mouse struggled bravely, the sparrow
was mute.
But all for nothing. The suitors three
Could not change in the slightest what was
Then the fruit dropped down from its
bough Oh the grass,
And the little mouse died with half.
squeaked ''alasl'
And the sparrow died too, his love uncon .
fessed,
And they found him Christmas, stiff in
his nest.
When the bee was left free the hedges
were bare
And the apple tree boughs stood stark in
the air.
He flew to his hive, crept in through the
cracks.
And at last died, simple maker of wax.
Now all these troubles would never have
been,
Could the bee have turned mouse when
the blossom turned green.
And all would have happily ended, to boot,
Could the mouse have turned sparrow
when the blossom turned fruit.

Margaret Fuller.

Sitting on the girls benches, con.
spicuous among the schoolgirls of un-
lettered origin by that look which
rarely fails to betray hereditary and
congenial culture, was young person
very nearly of my own age. She came
with the reputation of being "smart, .
as we should have called it, clever as VIC
say nowadays. This was Margaret
Fuller, the only one among us, who,
like Jean Paul, like the Duke, like
Bettina, has slipped the cable of the
more distinctive name to which she was
anchored, and floats on the waves OF
fame as Margaret. Her
air to her schoolmates
was marked by certain stateliness
and distance, as if she had other
thoug hts than theirs, and was not Of
them. She was a great student, and a
great reader Of what she used to call
<'nawvels." I remember her so we'll as
she appeared at school and later that [
regret that she had not been faithfully
given to canvas or marble in the day of
her best looks. None know her aspect
who have not seen her living.
Margaret, as I remember her at
school and afterward, was tall, fair COM
plexioned, with watery, aqua-marine
lustre in her light eyes, which she used
to maze small, as one does who looks
at the sunshine. A remarkable point
about her was that long, flexible neck,
arching and undulating insinuous move
ments, which one who loved her would
compare to those of swan, and one
who loved her not to those of the
ophidian who tempted our common
mother. Her talk was affluent, magis-
terial, some would say euphuistic, but
surprising the talk of women
in breadth and audacity. Her
face kindlcd and redeemed and dilated
in every feature as she spoke, and,
as once saw her in fine storm of in
dignation at the supposed ill-treatment
of relative, showed itself capable of
something resembling what Milton calls
the viragonian aspect.
Little incidents bear telling when
they recall anything of such celebrity
as Margaret. remember being great
ly awed once, in our school days, with
the maturity of one of her expressions.
Some themes were brought home from
the school for examination by my faith
er; among them one of hers. / took it
up with certain emulous interest, (for
l fancied at that day that I, too, had
drawn prize, say five dollar one, at
least, in the great intellectual life-lot-
tery,) and read the first words: cit is
a trite remark she began. stopped.
Alas! I did not know what trite meant.
How could ever judge Margaret fairly
after such a crushing discovery of her
superiority? doubt if ever did; yet
oh, how pleasant it would have been, at
about the age, say, of three.score and
ten, to rake over these ashes for Gin
ders with her-she in snowy cap, and
l in decent peruke !-Oltver Wendell
