bound for Boston on the Old Colony

way stations pretty young lady
entered the car, and sat down near
the delighted student, Instantly he wa
wide awake and devoted all his ener-

blind up and down noisily in order to
attract her attention. Thinking he had
secured this, he opened a morning
paper and reclining gracefully, pre-

steadily at the charmer and whenever
she CHANGED to raise her eyes, she found

blushed slightly, and turned nervously
in her seat, but in that delicious instant
when he gazed into the limpid depths Of
her clear blue eve, he fancied he saw
there the reciprocation Of his own in

attitude became more imposing and
beautiful, and when the train reached
Boston he considered his conquest as

MAMIE HIGGINS,

Deaths angel lowered around us,
And pluCked our rose bud fair,
To blossom In celestial ream ms,
Where Ia felt no want or care.
Jesus has taken our little Mamie,
Full OF purity and love-
And placed her with the angels
In the besutious land above.
Silently we lowly laid her,
Meath the graveyard grass so green,
And the form Of our little Mamie,
In our home no more IL seem.
We miss her childish prattle,
We miss her merry gee,
And the smiling cherub face,
We we're often wont to see.
o Mamie, darling Mamie,
Thou, who art now on high,
Pray that we will be united,
In those realms beyond the sky.
A FRIEND.

The alinnesota CYCLONE.

CHICAGO, Aug. GA gentleman just

entile north part of the place. from the
Chicago & Northwestern tracks. ia a
confused mass OF debris. Scarcely o
house is left standing and few are
moved from their foundation as if moved
by an earthquake. The frightened surviv-
ors were at work all night rescuing the
injured and recovering the bodies of the
dead. Before midnight tWenty-three
corpses had been recovered. The most
OF them were horribly mutilated. Il
was thought that 81 least twenty bodies
remained In the Fuina. The portion of
the city swept by the cyclone comprised
about Q third of its extent. The
storm appears TO have formed about
eighteen miles north of Rochester, and
gathered violence as it progressed, de-
stroyIng several farm houses In its
course. A lowering cloud was sebn ap.

moments the slaughter had been &C

were not aware that frightful cyclone
had passed near them until their atten-
| ton was directed to the feather
beds and articles of wearing apparel
against the barbed wire fences, which
indicated something of blow. Wheat
and other straw which was blown from
the stacks, was twisted about the rails in
large quantities, presenting singular
| appearance. When the death-dealing
funnel crossed the track shortly before
the train arrived at Rochester, freight

The wind twisted the switch

peril when close at hand and jumped

Rochester is strewn with wrecks, bu
mostly IN the poor portion Of the sub
urbs. On the north side q large
elevator was broken in two
portions, and the upper half
an immense mass, was carried across
the railroad, and over two trains of car
standing on the track. The fatal CLOUD

southeast, cutting wide swat
through the timber and farms, touching
