The paths of glory lead but TO the grave.
-Grcy.
There is, in my opinion, nothing calculated
to make so deep an impression on the mind
as reflections on death. The generality of
mankind are seldom disposed to think at all
upon this subject; they dislike TO dwell on it
for a moment, important and interesting as ii
undoubtedly is to all. The cause of this dis
like is very obvious. II nigh, naturally be
supposed that the man who has never thought
Of a hereafter, and whose whole life has been
one continued scene Of deviation from the
paths Of pporal recti,ude, would dread tie
very idea OF death, because it would en-, him
of forever from all that he held most dear.
Having been constantly forge;iul OF his God,
Of virtue and religion, he flies from everything
that might force the remembrance Of that
hour on his mind when he shall be severed
from the world and plunged INFO an eternity
of happiness or misery The man who has
spent his whole life, telling day after day, in
accommodating riches. is unwilling TO suppose
that he must shortly be separated from them,
and that every tie which binds him to the
earth mus, be broken asunder. Thus it is
with most persons. But, however indifferent
and calious nan may appear to be on this sub>
jec,. he must encounter those moments, in the
course OF a long life, in which the thoughts Of
eternity will insensibiy force themselves upon
his mind, be must, one time or another,
hearken to that "still small voice. that bids
him view the lonely grave to which there is
no retreat Happy is he who reflects fire.
0uen,ly on his last hour-who, often with
drawn from the busy world, is led to take
walks "Leneaii deaths gloomy, silent, cy-
press shades" there to mediate No spot,
however retired or abandoned, has such an
influence on the feelings as the las, resting
place of man. To walk pensivey among
the ,ombs, to gaze upon those mounds under
which the bones Of thousands have long since
moul.lercd away, and to think we must, ere
long, return TO our kindred dnst, and ming ie
with those who have gone before ns-,hese
are calculated to preach a solemn lesson, to
still every passion, and elevate onr SOILS ia
the contemplation of that immortality tr
which we are all destined.
''Dust thou art, and unto dus' thou shah re-
,urn.' is a serious and important admoution;
j, teaches us, that however happy we may con-
slider ourselves here, our enioymen's must be
fleeing, and ,ha, the day is not far distant
when death shall place ms on level with
the c'od under which We shall repose. What
awful sensations do we experience on be-
holding beng about TO depart from this
world / but when we stand beside the bed OF
an atiectionate paren, or relative, on the very
point Of dissolu,ion--when we take Il lasting

A Cyclone.

A terrible cyclone recently swept over
| the country east and west of Sioux City,
entering the State above Missouri Valley
Junction, passing northeasterly across To
Storm Lake, Pomeroy aud Fonda, in Mo.
mona County. Trees were torn up by the
roots along the rivers. The house of J.
K. ThurstOn was wrecked completely
The wing of the house Of Mrs. Reilly was
struck aud torn to pieces, and L. Reilly,
who was standing in the wing, was picked
up and carried over the main building
and some trees near by and set down un.
injured. ]. J. Hughes house in the same
ncighborhood WAS entirely destroyed.
The family were away from home. The
force of the storm was terrific, destroying
fences, uprooting trees, overturning corn.
cribs. etc. Horses and cattle were picked
up and carried considerable distance
Near Onawa, the house of Mr.. White
was destroyed and the contents scattered
for miles. The family fortunately were
away.
The track OF the storm was q half mile
to mile and half wide; very heavy
hail, a anum5cr of stones fastened together
into one mass, measuring fourteen inches
in circumference.
Near Onawa, man was drivinga double
team, and horses, wagon, harness, and
driver were taken up bodily, carried sew
eral yards, and set down uniniured
On the Illinois Central Railroad, east
of here, the damage was more serious, ac-
companied by loss of life. A whirlwind
or tornado passed ever Storm Lake from
the southwest three -fourths of mile east
of town. The residence of Alfred King
was struck, lifted from its foundation,
and dashed into thousand pieces. Mr..
Kings mother was instantly killed. She
was found some distance from where the
house stood. Other members of the
household escaped unhurt. The lighter
timbers of tho house were pounded into
kindling wood. Trees and orchards were
torn off and carried away, The house
of Mr.. Degratf, half mile from Kings,
was unroofed, some hogs and cattle were
killed, and farm wagons and buggy
broken up. His loss is about $1,000.
The buggy was carried quarter of
mile through the air. Water in the
lake rose to the height of many feet.
One witness says millions of barrels were
lifted up. The stable of MIR. Watson
was destroyed, and COW blown con-
siderable distance.
After the storm the town of Storm
Lake was crowded with men seeking sur
geons to attend the sufferers. 1t is be.
Iieved the damage south of here is very
great. Reports say four persons were
killed and forty wounded. In the Grif-
fifth neighborhood, north of Pomeroy,
man, unknown, had the top of his head
cut off by sharp board driven into it.
An elderly lady was badly hurt by falling
timbers at house at Fonda.
The towns of Newell and Sulphur
Springs escaped injury. At Pomeroy,
the house of G. g. Lowry was blown
down, killing Charles Pearce, an estima-
BILE young man. The houses of George
Wallace and S. Gill were blown down.
Mrs. Wallace and family are injured land
not expected to live. A. o. Harge's house
was blown down, injuring several of the
inmates severely. All the houses were
very strong and substantial. 1t is con-
sidered the severest storm ever known
here.

HARMLESS RIVALS. - Few men ever
forget their old loves, even after they are
comfortably married to and settled with
the new love. Women vary, even in a
matter supposed to be so common to them
all as jealousy; but sensible woman
will regard her husbands old loves as the
least dangerous portion Of his acquain-
tancc. 1t has been said that no one ever
loves twice. That may be doubted. But
it is pretty certain that no one ever loves
the same person twice. Ashes yield no
flame; new fuel must be added to pro-
duce that result Old loves cannot be
new ones, since the heart never travels
over precisely the same ground second
time. A man may cherish tender SEN
timent tor an old love for good many
years, or even through life, provided
either that he continues to see her ever
and anon, or never see her again at all.
We must confess that it is rather trying
to the maintenance of tender feeling, for
an old love, after quitting her in the mid
summer Of her charms, to meet her again,
for the first time, after many years, in
the plump autumn of her decay, bristling
in artificial corn-hower, and much at
tached to her treasure of q cook, whom
she would not part with for worlds. The
shock is too sudden and disastrous to
sentiment. 1t is wise, therefore, to keep
seeing ones old loves periodically, if one
does not want to experience a painful
contrast, which may, possibly, excite the
suspicion in our mind, that we are as
much changed to our old loves, as our
old loves are to US.

A SINGULAR TAsTE.-There is nothing
romantic about the Indian squaw of real
life, however she may shine in romance
and poetry. They eat a great deal Of
food, if they can get it, and are not fas-
tidious. Some time since, while at Win
ona, | was leisurely walking down street
to pass away the time, when my attention
was attracted by an Indian squaw
and her pappoose. Prompted by curiosi-
ity, l watched her movements, and as she
entered a store, followed. Imagine my
surprise to see her purchase half pound
of rancid butter, and forthwith proceed
to feast upon it, eatingit clear, and using
her fingers in lieu of knife or spoon.
Now and then she would give dainty
handful to the "pappoosibus," who ate it
most greedily. Indeed, they seemed to
relish it as heartily as an Esquimaux
would his whale blubber.
