The storms OF Life.

Dark, angry clouds overspread the
qky, illumined at intervals by vivid
flashes of lightning; peals of thun-
der rent the air like the voices Of
angry gods; while the trees and flow.
ers fell before the heavy gusts of wind
and rain like grain before sickle.
The awful grandeur Of the scene
struck terror TO hearts heretofore un-
known 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 appeared in the clouds, growing
larger and still larger, till the sun
broke forth in glorious effulgence,
Frightening the face of Nature with
dazzling brilliancy. Myriads of dia-
monds hung in the trees and glisten-
ed on the grass and flowers. Never
was sunshine more beautiful.
The terrific storm, SO fearful in its
wrath, had purified and washed the
whole cart and decked it in the beau
tiful jewels which a shower alone
can give, and though IN the east a
light halo was falling, itonlyenhanc.
ed the beauty of the scene; for the
cloud was spanned by a beautiful
bow-beautiful, not only on account
of its lovely combination Of colors,
but as a sign of glorious promise
made by Elm who ruleth the storm
by His infinite power.
Human life has its storms. Ad-
versity;temptation, andsorrow sweep
over the soul, filling it with fear and
dread. But, after time, tiny riffs
of Gods mercy pierce the clouds
around us, 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 drift,
ing away from us, we shall see rain
bows Of precious promise.

the miner respectfully.
She told him sad story-poverty,

The Arsenal Appropriation.

The Union does not have anything to
say this morning about that terrible demo-
cratic majority in congress beating the
Arsenal appropriation. The vote on MIR.
Prices amendment of l02 to SO shows that
the democrats in congress must have voted
for the appropriation; anG that they did &C
at the request of their democratic friends
in this vicinity who have labored for weeks
for the appropriation there is the very
best of evidence, which is, their promise tc
do so. Where was our representative all
this time? Quietly drawing his salary.
Had it not been for the earnest work Of
the democrats the appropriation would
have failed. Yet the Union will still sup.
port Tom Henderson and ask the people
to elect him, and then when citizens go tc
Washington and do his work for him il
will attempt to give him credit for it. L
is about time that those who are interested
in the completion of the Arsenal, in view
of its near failure this time, should think o
sending a representative to congress VIII
can do something besides drawing hi
salary.
