Dick was terribly huffed by my plain
speaking, and did not fail to complain to
my wife about it; but what annoyed me
more was to find that he had contrived to
affect her to some extent with his own
absurd fears, so that when we went to bed
that night she would insist on having the
bed room door locked, precaution she had
never cared to exercise before, saying, in
her circumlocutory, feminine way:
"There's no knowing what may hap

house."

Cnrlons Wills.

A German, troubled how to dispose OF
his money, bequeathed it to man whom
he detestcd, upon the condition that he
always wore thin, white linen clothes with
out any underclothing.
A Mr.. Sergeant, of Leicester, England,
sought to improve the habits of his bed
loving nephews by putting the following
clause in his will "As my nephews are
fond of indulging themselves in bed in the
morning, and as l wish them to prove to
the satisfaction of my executors, that they
have got out of bed in the morning, and
either employed themselves in business or
taking exercise in the open air from five to
eight o'clock every morning from the sec
ond of April to the tenth of Oct ober-be-
ing three hours each day-and from to 8
o'clock from the tenth of October to the fifth
of April, being two hours every morning.
'This is to be done for seven years, to
the satisfaction Of my executors, who may
excuse them in case of illness the test
must be made up when they are well, and
if they will not do this, they shall not re-
ceive any share of my property" 1t was

amount at stake was quite large they had

WItchcraft In West virginia.

The Wheeling, West Virginia, InteIigsn-
eer contains the following remarkable story
of fsuperstitution and ignorance son alley
Sixteen, in East Wheeling, peculiar dis
ease recently appeared among the smaller
children. Seven babies, in as many differ
ent families suffered from the same mys-
terious complaint. One of the babies died,
and it was thought the others would not
survive long. No medical advice was call
ed, as the children were believed to be
bewitched. An old lady, however, who is
known to possess much influence with
Superstitious persons tried to drive out the
evil spirits. She visited the different
families and advised them TO keep every
door locked and stop up the keyholos.-
Nothing was to be loaned from the house
for fear some bold and adventu rous spirit
would accompany the article and make
mischief in neighbours family. The stock
ing on each child's left foot was turned in
side out to spoil the enchantment and
many other ridiculous things were done
We have not learned what effect these pre-
scriptions have had upon the little suffer-
ers, but it seems horrible to think that in
nocent children are compelled to suffer be-
cause of the ignorence and superstition of
their parents"

compound lever, which, according to
Mr. Haswell's measurement, was as
one to fifty-two. The end of the short
arm was securely bolted and fastened
to the iron bed-plates of the apparatus.
Upon the arm of the compound lever
was suspended an iron weight of 200
pounds. On opening the stOp-cock of
the charged cylinder connecting the
tubes, the weight Of 20O pounds was at
once raised to the limit of the upward
movement of the lever; thus, with the
weight of the lever and its connections,
indicating pressure power of about
10,400 pounds per square inch, as stated
before. The power generator and re-
ceiver was supposed to be, when con-
structed, fully adequate in strength to
generate and develop the full power of
the invention, but it has been found
too weak; the force has proved to be
so enormous that Mr.. Keely has not
dared to apply more than half the
power he can attain. An apparatus is
in process of construction which will
be able to generate and sustain pres
sure greatly in excess of that already
shown, without rupture, though Mr..
Keely does not expect to need one of
more than $4,000 pounds to develop
his power. When the full power is
measured and balanced, it will then be
comparatively easy to construct an APP
paratus of the requisite capacity and
strength for engines of any desired
power.

THE STORM OF THE SOUL.
BY VIM. B. FAIRCHILD.

Slowly the sun goes down the Western slope
Slowly the robe of gold that through the day
In FURNISHED folds has spread DER field and
wood,
Is rolled from space, and night draws on apace,
Its sombre garments wrapping all the world,
AS wings of darkness spread above the land
The iar-Of ills, the nearer valleys, meet
Upon one common level. In the sky
Float the iorerunners of a coming strife
A war OF lemcnts.
Among the trees
Low signs are heard as if unquiet souls
Give to the ir the burden of their grief,
And from unpleasant memories seek surceaSe
by this mpaniOnShip with night and storm.
Slowly the tspmoSt branches sway and bend
Before the fitfu breeze; while in the field
or unripe corn, the fingers OF the wind
Lazily toss the tassels to and fro.
Anon a waling blast goes sweeping by
And dies away upon the forests edge.
Then all is STILL u som bre, dead reposc,
As when grim AZreal broodeth in the air
On wings of desolaton.
Afar Off
Mutters the low-toned thunder-on the verge
OF Western clouds quick flashes come and go,
bringing the sable pail with lurid light,
And leaving darkness more intense and drear.
Slowly the dense clouds gather-now they
reach
The upper vault. Upon the thirsty earth
A few drops patter-a moment more, there
comes,
Thick hurting through the air the liquid hail
breath
To girdle on her armor for the strif'.
With maddened fury RACES now the storm
Peal answers unto peal Of thunder hoarse,
And lightning's startling flash fills all the
space
The fierce wind, bowling DER the face of earth,
Dashes the giant oak prone in the aust,
While from the open gates of Heaven above
Sweeps down a flood of wat rs. All around
Below, above, fiercely the war is waged,
Until earth quakes with fear.
An hour has passed
The storm has spent its fury. In the far East
The expiring rumble of its wrath is heard
Thin, nrccy clouds are scudding on the breeze,
And through their riffs the moon looks calmly
down,
Bathing the landscape in its silvery waves.
Among the trees the flowing air breathes notes
Ofquiet music-On each shrub and leaf
The liquid jewels, touched with amber light,
Flash back translucent rays ofborrowed sheen
And all is peace.
So with the human soul,
Pleasures bright sunshine gitters for space
Then gathering gloom shuts out the light of
Heaven
Hope stands ashast- fear rules the inmost
heart,
The storms Of conscience sha Ike It to IFS dnnth--
Then break the clouds of doubt and dark de-
spair,
And tie mid lustre of Christians faith
Beams in upon the new created life.

A review of the breadstuffs market
indicates an upward tendency in prices
and an active export movement. This
movement is purely legitimate. The ex-
port demand is general. England. the
Continent, the Provinces, the West H.
dies and South America being in press
ing want for supplies for immediate use.
Holders of supplies manifest DISPOSE
ton to ask higher prices, convinced that
there is strong and steady market for
the future, with a small probability Of
wide fuctuation in prices. The provis-
ion market is not in so satisfactory a
condition. though the tendency is up
ward, in sympathy with the high prices
abroad. The upward course of the corn
market may terminate in the realization
Of prices that will be sufficient induce
ment to ship and realize ready money,
instead of feeding to take the chance of
the future of the market for provisions,
and this may have an important infu-
ence not only on the Summer packing,
but on the next crop and there is q
prospect that the holders of provisions
will caray out their determination tc
hold for short crop, next year, unles:
they can realize high prices for the bal
ance Of this crop during the balance Of
