The Storms Of Life.

Dark, angry clouds overspread the
sky, illumined at intervals by vivid
flashes of lightning; pealI of thunder
rent the air like the voices of angry
gods, while the trees and flowers fell be-
fore 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 in glorious
effIlgence, Frightening the face of nature
with dazzling brilliancy. Myriads of
diamonds hung in the trees and glistened
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 in the beautiful
Jewels which shower alone can give,
and though in the east rain was falling,
it only enhanced the beauty of the
scene; for the cloud was spanned by q
beautiful bow-beautiful, not only on
account of its lovely combination Of
colors, but as sign of a glorious promise
made by him who rulcth the storm by
his infinite power.
Human life has its storms. Adversely,
temptation and sorrow 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 sun
shine of his love will break in beauty
over our heads, and spanning the clouds
that are drifting away from us, we shall
see the rainbows of preciops promise.

with his teeth This is what makes it
charming beyond description, as it, will
enable deaf PEOPLE to 60 the opera. VI
course it will look little odd to sec the
auditorium crowded with people whose
mouths are wide open, with clothes-pins
inserted to keep them from closing. But
suppose man had artificial teeth, then
how will the audophone work? In that
case it will be necessary to get up ma
chine by which a man can hear with his
nails, or with his boot heels. Then again
if l mans teeth happen to fall out, would
it not be a good idea to have an invcn-
tion which will enable him to cat with
his eyes, or if he should lose leg would
it not be a great boon to him to be
enabled to walk on his lungs; or if he
should lose his eyes, how nice it would be
for him to be able to see and wink at
girls with his kidneys through eyeglasses.
There is no use talking, Edison ought to
be employed by the government to keep
up continual flow of inventions.
