ed. In the first column he wrote

son, we are told, wore out the pa
thence of his printer; frequently,
when nearly whole impression
of a Spectator was worked of, he
would stop the press to insert =

sportiYe essays were the re-
suits of most intense brain labor;
he used to spend a week at time
in celebrating a single humorous
letter to a friend. Tennyson is re-
ported to have written "Come

than fifty times over before it

written in two days, he spent the
better part of six weeks, for eight
hours a day, in altering and pol

himself up for six weeks, lived
the life of a hermit, and came out
looking like a murderer. Balzac,
after he had thought out thor

Speaking of the great storm of
May 9th, Leavenworth telegram
says:
The Leaven worth Carpet Factory,
three story brick building, 30xI50
feet, erected about year and q half
ago, which with its machinery cost
over $4,000, is a total loss, being
utterly demolished. The heavy
roof of the Odd Fellows Hall, one
OF the largest buildings of the city,
was torn off aud the interior of the
building ruined by water. A sec.
ton of the roof fell upon the Agri-
cultural warehouse of MOfett g.
Co., crushing in the roof of that
building. Other portions were
thrown upon q building about two
hundred feet distant used as q
boarding house, crushing in one
end of it, and giving some of the
boarders q very narrow escape.
The roof of W. =. Loebenstein's
large hide and fur house was torn
off and the building more or less
damaged. A portion of the iron
roof of the Union depot was blown
of. A section of the roof of the
south wall of HOffman's liquar store,
a portion of the north wall of the
Leavenworth Mills, and the entire
roof of Harmons' Block on Shaw
nee street. Ten other large houses
were more or less injured and some
thirty smaller buildings unroofed
or blown down. while wooden side
walks were torn up, awnings car
ried away and out-buildings blown
over in ali parts of the city visited
by the tornado. Z
The line of the storm was right
through the heart of the city from
west TO east, and extended in width
from Oak street to Shawnee street.
The storm reached from Topeks
to Lake Michigan, and various
towns through Illinois, and a few
in Indiata, report considerable dam
age from wind and hail. Near Ne
Oga, Illinois, the wind blew pas
senger train right of the Illinois
Central railroad track, damaging
the cars badly, and dangerously
wOunding several people. The fu-
ry of the storm, however, was al
Chicago, where it was even verse
in every respect than at Leaven-
worth. 1t had rained all day, and
cleared off finely about three p. m,
At four the rain descended again
like a food, aud a tremendous
cloud swept up from the southwest
roaring like g thousand thunder
storms. 1t first knocked q three

for two miles, and mixed the entire

(From the Providence Journal.)
The tive didn't belong to each
other. aud this very good boy may
have been a little too smart and
saucy.
Little Mary was prettiiy dressed,
and standing in front of the house
waiting for her mother to go out
to ride. 4 tidy boy, dressed in
coarse clothes, was passing, when
the little girl said: "Come here,
boy, and sake hands VII me. dot
a boy Jus like you, named joey"
The boy laughed, shook hands with
her, and said: give got a little
girl just like you, only she hasn't
any little cloak with pussy fur on
it,"
Here lady came out of the door,
and said: "Mary, you must not
talk with bad boys on the street. l
hope you haven't taken anything
from her? Go right along, and
never stop here again, boyI"
That evening the lady was called
down to speak with q boy in the
hall. He was very neatly dressed,
and stood with his cap in his hand.
1t was the enemy of the morning.
81 came to tell you that / am not q

"I'm very glad you're so good"
said the lady, laughing at the boys
earnestness. "Here's quarter of a
dollar for you" 81 don't want
that" said Ben, holding his head up
high. My father works in a foun-
dry, and he has lots of money.

"Does he know the command

''Can he say the sermon on the

much afraid he cannot" said the
lady, laughing at the boys bravery.

day, instead of going to church p
"Pm afraid he does, but he ought

"Mother don't know / am here"
said the little rougue, "but l

and see what kind of folks you
were, and-and-I guess mother
would rather your boy wouldn't
come round our doors, because she
don't like little Susan to talk to bad

And the boy was gone.
