Grasshopper Damages Exaggerated.

ST. Louis, June l9.-Advices from all
parts of southern Nebraska say that the
grasshopper ravages have been exagger-
ated and that they left all the counties
in that section of the State, or that those
few that remain are doing very little
damage. Those which have come from
Kansas and Missouri made but brief
stay. and did but little injury. Wheat
and other small grains will harvest a half
crop, and the corn crop will De full. In
the sections where corn and other grains
were seriously injured, farmers are re-
planting and expect fine crops.

Heavy Failure.

ST. JOHN, \. b June l9.-The liabili-
ties of f. d. Jewett X Co, are nearly
S6,O00,O0O. One bank holds paper to the
extent of $250,000; another $22O,000; Il
third 100000, and fourth 100000. The
failure is ascribed to losses of lumber,
the general depression of trade, and en-
gagementS connected with railway bonds
The effect on the general trade Of St
John is depressing, but the banks will
sustain the losses without curtailing. The
failure is the heaviest ever known in this
part of the country.

HARRY IN A CLOUD
BY MARY d. BRINE.

BY MARY d. BRINE.
WHY, what is the matter with Harry to-nightr
His eyes have lost half of their usual glad
light;
There's cloud on his brow which should
never be there
And scowl on the face which once thought
SO fair.
Well now let US sec il perchance we can trace
The cause of this poor little miserable face.
First, Harry this morning at breakfast was
late,
And raced thro' his toilet at such at quick
That his bonny brown hair, truth compels US
tosay,
day.
Reproofs from papa and mamma followed
next,
And Harry felt all the more sullcn and vexed.
Then bright little May looked up laughing
and said:
"Dess Hawwie dot out the wong side of de
bed!"
Well, school-time arrived and our Harry, you
see,
had he,
And perhaps for that reason things seemed to
go wrong,
And Harry was naughty the whole school
time long.
He missed all his lessons and spilled all his
ink
And worked himself up in a terrible kink.
And when he came home for the rest of the
He seemed to have nothing but cross things
to say.
He snarled yes" and "no" in SO ugly tone
That mamma and his sister quite left him
alone.
And SO all the day nothing seemed to work
right
And Harry grew very unhappy toward night.
So this is the cause Of his sorrowful face
His light heart has gonc-there's a stone in
its place.
He is thinking OF bed time, and what shall
he do
Without mamma's kisses SO tender and true!
But his proud little lips, they are 80 10th to
speak
And ask for the pardon his heart longs to
seek!
Come here, little boy, and jump up on my
knee
And we'll fight all that bad pride away, you
shall see;
Why, how can you sleep if you lie down to
night
Without an attempt to do that which is right? :?
There are standing beside you, my boy, do
you know,
A good and bad spirit-now which one shall
go?
And which one shall enter this dear little
heart
That has acted to-day such troublesome
part?
All! now that is right! there are tears in your
eyes
know you are going to do that which is wise.
Go ask mammals pardon and soon this sweet
face
OF all this days trouble will lose every trace.
Pm glad we have found our own Harry again,
For the boy in his place gives us all so much
pain.
And now mammals kisses come thick and
come fast,
And all the dark clouds have passed over at
last.
