The Storms of Life.

Dark, angry clouds overspread the sky, IL
lumined at intervals by vivid flashes Of light
ming peals of thunder rent the air like tho
voices OF angry gods while the trees and
flowers fell before the heavy gusts Of wind
and rain like grain before sickle.
The awful grandeur of the scene struck
terror to hearts heretofore unknown to fear.
For more than an hour the storm ragged on
till it had spent its fury, when the wind and
rain abated. and here and there tiny riffs ap-
peared in the clouds, growing larger and still
larger, till the sun broke forth in glorious ef-
fulgence, Frightening the face of Nature
with dazzling brilliancy. Myriads of dia-
monds hung in the trees aud glisteDed ON
the grass and flowers. Never was sunshine
more beautiful
The terrific storm, so fearful in its wrath,
had purified and washed the whole earth and
decked it in the beautiful jewels which
shower alone can give. and though in the
east light halo was falling, it only enhanced
the beauty of the scene for the cloud was
spanned BY beautiful bow-beautiful, not
only on account ofits lovely combination OF
color, but as o sign of glorious promise
made By Him who ruleth the storm By His
infinite power.
Human life has it's storms. Adversely, temp
tation, and sorrow sweep over the soul, filing
it with fear and dread. But. after n time,
tiny riffs of Gods mercy pierce the clouds
around rs, and If we in patience wait. the
entire sunshine of His love will break in
beauty over our heads, and spanning the
clouds that are drifting away from us, We
shall see rainbows of precious promise.

MY LITTLE COMMENTATOR.

Georgia. my seven-year oldy
Was reading, one day, to me,
That swestest of stories ever told.
As he stood beside my knee
Tho story of Jacobs Sons.
OF Joseph. his father s joy
And all the cruel, wicked ones.
Aud the motherless youngest boy.
As he threaded the touching tale,
His wrath arose. and he said:
IF had been there at Joseph's sale,
I'd a punched in Reuben's head!"
His face, as it grew half dim,
With the pathos of the tale.
Glanced on. and he shouted, Good for him!
Simeon Is going to iail!"
When he read how they found the cup,
In Beniamn's 3 sack. his fair
Face flushed. and he doubled his small fsts IN
The sneaks. they had hid it there"'
And when they confessed their sin,
Weeping, he sneered. 'A-hemi
wosder if Joseph vas taken in
By crocodile tears like them r'
When he read of the long array
OF wagons to Jacob sent,
or the counsel to fall not out by the way"
asked of him what that meant.

flial attempt to force
Down a bit of dIsdain at the question: 'Uby

DIDN'T BELIEVE IN ADVERTISING
The Piedmont Ne,os gives the following ::
A merchant of Culpeper was protesting. a
day or two since, that advertising benefited
nobody but newspaper publishers money
paid for advertisements was thrown away !;
nobody read them. We offered to insert in
the most remote corner of the paper he might
select, an advertisement Offering S150 a
bushel for wheat, provided he would make
the offer good to those who might read the
advertisement and call on him. And do you
think he would do it 2 Not bit it, And
this is the way with most men who denounce
advertising-when asked to test the matter,
as to whether or not advertisements are read,
they always decline, thereby showing what
little faith they have in their own works, and
tactly acknowledging the great power of the
press as an advertising medium.

person that Allan's Anti-Fat will not reduce
at the rate of from two to FIVE pounds per

anti fat prescriptions, including ''stareation,

About the 22d of last month a con-
tract was made in Lexington for all the brick
and stone work of building which is to re,
ceive the monument to the great Confeder>
ate general, designed by Valentine. This
monument is tomb bearing the recumbent
figure, in remarkable likeness, of General
Lee. He is in uniform, the sabre has just
slipped from his grasp, and his cloak partly
covers his limbs, quietly composed. The at
titude is perhaps rather of deep rest than of
death. It is beautiful work of art, aud
worthy the effort made in Lexington to give
it an appropriate shelter.

From private advices received from the
Second District of West Virginia, we learn
that the nomination of Mr.. Burr for con-
gress is received with general favor, not only
by the Republicans, but by the Independ-
ent element of the District. Mr.. Burr is a
gentleman of unimpeachuble character, and
while connected with the press at the Ma
tional Capital, evinced in his writings an
ability to deal with those questions of Gov
ernment which SO few of the Nations Rep
resentatives in Congress seem to be able to
grasp. He knows every body that has been
in Washington for the last ten years, knows
all the ms nnd-outs Of Congress and the De-
partments, and would make useful repre-
sentative for the Second District.

[specInl Telegram o One News. ]


HousToS, October 3l.-one of the most
cold-blooded tragedies was enacted here to-
night that has occurred at Houston for years.
A man named Adolph shachtrupp. residing
In the fourth ward, beyond the bayou, was
called from his house and family by noun
ted man, at the gate, under the pretence Of
delivering a note, and was killed instantly
with load of buckshot from a double-barrel-
ed gun. shachtrupp dropped at the first fire,
with twelve shot lodged in his abdomen, and
a second discharge carried another load
through the house, lodging the shot promiscu-
ously In the walls and doors, narrowly mis-
sing shachtrupp's wife, who was sitting in
the range of the lire. IN the front room. Sus-
picion rests strongly upon one William Cow
ard, who was recently arrested In Grimes
county, and lodged in jail at Nayasota, for
the theft OF mule from the deceased. II Is
ruinored that he had broken jail aud warrants
were Issued for his arrest for the murder. Al
the Inquest several parties gave evidence as to
the shooting, and testified to having seen, I'M
mediately after the firing, man with gun
ride rapidly from the house aud out the
Washington road, riding large sorrel horse.
The most material evidence was from Adolph
hickman, boy fifteen years of age, and
nephew of the deceased. He was present when
the man rode up to the gate aad asked If
shachtrupp lived there Witness went to the
gate aud asked the man his name, to which
he replied It was none OF his business, just
then deceased came to the door, 1t was quite
dark the horseman asked If that was shach-
trupp. Being answered In the Affirmative by
the witness, he fred killing deceased at the
first shot. Witness was positive that he recog-
nized the man as Bill Coward; had known
him two years After the shooting he rode
rapidly away. Deceased never spoke after
the shooting, Witness soon after went to the
house of his cousin, the married son of the
deceased, to tell him what had happened. He
stayed there with his cousins wife while his
cousin went to the scene of the murder
While the witness was there Coward rode
up and ked for his cousin, son OF deceased
The witness testified that coward's wife was
at the house OF deceased during the day; that
she had sent word that IL he would not go to
Nayasota and testify against her husband In
the theft case she would give him 500.
shachtrupp was employed by the postofiice,
as mail driver.
posse Of citizens aud two deputy sherils
have started out to scour the country
The deceased leaves wife and several
children. Coward has been a butcher in Hous-
ton for several years past
| telegram has just been sent TO Nayasota,
asking If Coward is still in jail there. 10 an
swer has yet been received.
