A country merchant was found
dead-at St. Louis. 1t is likely that
he had been talked to death by one
of the local drummers, who make
life a burden to men who are reck-
less enough to register their names

So many accidents have occurred by
lightning this summer, that it might be
supposed people generally would now
begin to observe those plain and obvious
precautions which cannot safely be disre-
garded in a thunderstorm. Yet we find
but little evidence of increased care in
this direction. People will persist in
seeking shelter under trees when heavy
thunder shower comes, land young women
will persist in watching the lightning
from the open windows at which they
sit, and parents will j. :ist on sending
their children o t in IN heaviest electric
storm OF the season on errands of the
least Importance. The fatal results
whch often ensuc, seem to convey no
lesson exc"p; To the families whom they
directly affect
This OF ht not to he 50. Every man.
woman aui chiid in the country ought
to know better than TO stand under a
high tree in thunder storm Scores of
persons who We're alive last spring
would probably be alive now if they had
possessed this knowledge and acted on
1t. Aud why cannot people be made
to understand that an open window is
not safe place from which to watch the
weather on such occasions. Every sea-
son it proves to be post of danger all
over the country, and yet every year it
seems to maintain its fascination for new
victims. Again, several of the most pc
culiarly distressing accidents by lightning
which have occurred during the present
summer have happened to poor children
engaged in untimely outdoor errands
rands for their elders.
Another important factor in the fre-
queucy of lightning accidents is the ig-
norance or carelessness which prevails in
the construction and adjustment of
lightning rods. They are insulated when
they ought not to be, and the connection
with the earth is apt to be defective, if
indeed the conductor itself is not broken
somewhere alongside of the building. A
house or barn thus endangered instead
Of protected is struck by lightning, and
the owner declares that lightning rods do
more hurt than good; and 80 they do if
not properly applied.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1881-09-09

Laura was the first to speak, and her
voice was quite firm, scarcely even sor-
rowful "Tom, dear, do not want to
die and yet death cannot take from us
the boon of having died together"
"3ut we shall not d now, Laura ]
know well not The was the ring OF
convic on in his tones. The profound
resignation underlying her words had
struck the right key in his own nature,
and the thought of his first despairing
mood made him almost angry. "But its
awiully hungry we are, my DEAR" were
his next words.
'Tm shamed of you" said Laura, and
she actually laughed Tom laughed
also.
When two persons in such position
can laugh, 1t is either Every brave or
''very shocking" according to the creed
we first sucked and the so foi h" of our
salad days.
The fog was all around them and
neither could see the others face. The
fog was cold and from time to time Laura
had shivered once or twice, audibly.
though quite involuntarily, for she was
brave little woman. When the ripple
OF the young girls laughte rang out
amid the fog (above the boom of the
surf, the far away barking of the sea
lions on seal rocks, and the near, vet
distant screams of the fog signal), and
when his own laughter was smothered
in the fog folds, Tom repeated "But
am hungry, awfully ---."
What he might have gone on to say
is forever sealed. The next moment the
boat struck something with great mo-
mentum. and that is all Laura remem-
bered till she awoke in the queer little
cabin OF the Sarah Emma, brirantine,
inbound from Australia.
n woman's gentle face bent over her
own in anxious, motherly regard and
dear Tom sat on locker behind the
gangway, with glad tears in his eyes to
see the color steal back to her cold
cheeks
"And now you must have bit to eat"
said the captains wife, in hospitable ac
cents.
But Laura shut her ewes, half mali
clouslY, and muI murai Give it to him
please he's always hungry"
"ThaLs what you'll not dare to say
when You become Mrs Tom" said the
young man, triumphanlly and as the
maironly figure of the captains wife dis
appeared in the shadow OF the gaugway,
he kissed her shut ewes softly. and turn
ed away.-1ryo0out.
