For The BEE. |" RAINY DAYS.


 How the pearly drops keep dripping, Making music of the rain, Plating like the fairy-f1ng Ssftly on the window pane Then tae rainy tears fall faster With the early fading light. And sense of home protection Cheors the melancholy night. There are those who keep in silence All such gloomy days as these, Mnaing in the hearts deep chamber. Listening to the slghing frees, Likening sorrow unto rain-lrops Longing for tomorrow sun. Sick with hoping, sad with fearing, Til the waiting day is done. Asin nature. in heart-life Cometh sunshine after storm Should we feel the summers brightness Making all things fair and war.n. If the winter had not holden All hings in dreamless sIeep2 So we value early blo>soms As from Winser's grave they creep Does notjoy seem all the sweetex After bearing sorrows loads Thorns and roses grow together All along 1ife's winding road Let us gssher up the hrigh tness Leaving gloom for spirits proud.

THE MISSISSIPPI TORNADO.

4 special dispatch from Inka,
Miss, says that ut seven o'clock on
Tuesday evening the place was visit
ed by n terrible storm. 1t came
from the southwest and took u
northeast course, striking the south
eastern portion Of the town, Oh 4
hill mostly occupied by cOlored peo-
pie, instantly killing one colored
woman and her child and four other
colored children, two of whom We're
not found until yesterday, and then
4 quarter of mile from home, the
head of one being severed from the
body. Eight other colored persons
were wounded, one of whom died on
Wednesday morning. The others
who were wounded are doing well,
though one has his thigh broken AID
another his arm.
Four houses were blown down
and one church. A wagon was car
ried about mile and embedded in
the ground. The tornado lasted but
Il few minutes, and its track was
not over two hundred yards in
width. 1t swept everything before
it. Its course was towards the
Mississippi river, where it struck
Newport, badly damaging that
town and breaking n child's arm.
Some of the timbers of the houses
blown away were found two miles
distant.

From Bellefonto We have the H.
telhgence that the much mooted
questions, the Aaronsburg road and
the Nillheim borough, are Doth de-
cided in the affirmatIve-that IS
both are granted by the court.
These questions, especially the road,
have agitated this entire section
very fiercely and for long time,
and Row, that both towns have just
what they want, may we not hope
that the hatchet be buried. and this
sangulnary local war cease? We
dislike Strife-it is not cOngenial to
our phlegmatic constitution. Let
lis have a general hand shaking al
around, tiguratirely speaking, and be
friends.
But one thing remains TO be done
and then every body and everything
should be lovely and happy. The
road to Coburn should be conyertcd
into turnpike as speedily as posi-
BILE. AS it is, the burden % COM
plete and keep it up will be 100
heavy for Penn township. 1t should
not be asked or expected Of her ;
and 50 we say let the citizens of
borough and township unite in this
enterprise and before spring the
pike will be a liXe1 fact. legally
speaking. and Penn township will
thus be relieved from u burden rs
unfair rs it IS onerouS.

A Salona debating club recently
discussed the question Which is
the greatest benefit to mankind, the
horse, the cow or the sheep"
Oul opinion is that when one
wishes to take 4 buggy-ride the
horse is decidedly the greatest bene-
fit" Whether the COW or sheep is
greatest" depends altogether upon
whether you want wool OF milk
most, or perhaps whether you prefer
mutton to beef. However our opin-
ion may not be Of much account on
such great questions.
