WHITTIER,S CENTENNIAL HYMN,

Our fathers Godl from out whose hand
The centuries fall like grains of sand,
We meet 70 day, united, tree,
And ioyal to our land and Thee.
To thank Thee for the era done
And trust Thee for the opening one.
Hen, where Of old, BY Thy design,
The fathers spoke that word Of Thine
Whose echo is the glad refrain
OF rended bolt and falling chain,
To grace our festal time, from all
The zones of earth our guests We call.
Be with us while the New World greets
The Old World, thrungiDg al its streets s
Unveiling all the triumphs won
By art or toll beneath the sun;
And unto common good ordain
The rivalshipOf hand and brain.
Thou who hast here in concord furled
The Ear-fags of . gathered world. -.----
Beneath our Western skies fulfill
The 0rient's mission of good will,
And, freighted with loves golden fleece,
Send back the Argonauts Of Peace.
For art and labor met in truce,
For Beauty made the bride of Use,
We thank thee, while, withal, we crave
The austere virtues strong to save,
The honor proof to placeor gold,
The manhood never bought or sold! 80
Oh make Thou us, through centuries long
In peace secure, and Justice strong;
Around our gift of Freedom draw :
The safeguards of Thy righteous law,
And, cast in some diviner mould,
Let the new cycle shame the old. .

The details Of the tornado ftha stl3rt1as
night swept over the city of Chicago show
that the storm extended from eastern Kan
sas to lake Michigan, where it expended
its force IN this vicinity, and the Storm
track at several points was between two
and three hnndfed miles in width. At
LeavenWorth, massive brick buildings, one
Of them an extensive factory, weighted with
machinery, were blown over like card hous-
rs; reofs we're tom of hOnses; walls
were crushed hike egg-shells; and the iron
roof OF the Union depot was Tipped of
The path OF the storm was directly through
the heart of the city, and no less than
t irty bt dings were wholly or in part de-
stroyed, while few escaped without more OF
less damage, the whole of which is rough
ly estimated at a quarter of million. AT
Lawrence, number of houses were blown
down, and the torrent of rain, by which
the tornado was accompanied, swept away
railroad tracks, Well-nigh cutting on rail-
way communication. At St. Joseph, Kan
sas City, and other points ON the Missouri
riyer, the flood did great damage to the
railroads, and at the former city railroad
communication was wholly suspended.
Advices from intermediate points are mea-
gre, and perhaps will be delayed for day
or two longer, 50 that the damage done
IS merely matter of conjecture. In Hi
nois the. storm extended as far south as
Cairo, Oarbondale, and CarlinyiIle. In the
latter vicinity number of buildings were
blown down. and on the nlinois Central
raiiroad, near Mattoon, passenger train
was lifted from the track and carried
across the ditch, injuring a number of pas-
sengers. Happily the storm appears
to have. been much. less severe on the lake
than ashore and the losses were far less
than had been apprehended.
