Tiny Reptiles.

A correspondent writing from the
Yellowstone and Bad Lands" country
to Montana paper says" Travelling
through the bad lands, after having
thirsted for several days, we spied
ravine that had some green grass in it.
We pulled it up and found little water
trickling over solid rock. We dipped
with a cup from a depression in the stone
and, after filling ten-gallon keg, noticed
that the gress roots were alive and We're
entangling themselves. We put two
roots in the water in pail and so carried
them half mile to camp. They had
sufficient locomotion to enable them to
raise their heads and crawl over the side
Of the pail. They were about the size Of
a knitting needle, three feet long and
the same color that grass roots generally
are. Natural history has no account Of
any similar curiosity"

THE APRIL FOOL.

Twas in the spring Of '72
first met Bessie-charming girl
Who caught me with her eyes of blue
And hair of mellow golden hue
That wandered into many a curl.
One night asked her for my wife
While comm home from singin' school
Protesting else my future life
Would be a blank and dreary waste,
From which all sunlight were erased
'Yes" answered then the pretty miss
stole a furtive, burning kiss,
And called her, in a burst Of bliss,
My precious little April Fool.
'Tis now the spring Of 'S3,
And we are married-Bet and I
I will confess, 'twixt you and me,
She is not what she used to be-
My angel of the years gone by;
And when l think of that sweet time
took her home from singin' school,
feel like weaving into rhyme
This bitter, weary, sad reflection,
Resulting from profound detection;
When 1 went courting that fair Miss
And begged her grant me welded bliss
And sealed her answer with kiss,
Twas who was the April Fool

ONLY YOU

If could have my dearest wish fulfilled,
And take my choice of all earth's treasures, too,
Or choose from heaven whatso'er willed
I'd ask for you.
No man I'd envy, neither low nor high,
Nor king in castle old or palace new
I'd hold Golconda's mines less rich than
If Ihad You.
Toll and privation, poverty and care
Undaunted I'd defy, nor fortune WOO.
Having my wife, no jewel else I'd wear
If she were you.
Little I'd care how lovely she might be,
How graced with every charm, how fond how
true
Zen though perfection, she'd be naught to me,
We're she not you.
There is more charm for my true loving heart,
In everything you think or say or do,
Than all the joys that heaven could e'er impart,
Because it's you. H.A.F.

A Wife's Lesson

Pretty little Mrs. Ainsworth was in
tears-pretty little Mrs. Ainsworth was
in the habit of being in tears; it was one
of her especial weaknesses and irritated
her husband as nothing else could do.
Eternally snufing and blubbering, "
he had said, savagely, as he grabbed his
hat and went out the front door with a
rush and bang,
ooh, dear dear! How could he be
SO cru-el?" moaned Mrs. Ainsworth,
crying the harder. "To go and leave me
like this-and all because 1 wanted
twenty dollars for a new pair of curtains
that we needed badly-and then to grow
so angry; he's a be-arl Oh! why did
I ever marry him? I might have known
mamma said he was stubborn and had
a temper. Oh, dear! dearl dearl"
And lower sank her head in the sofa
cushions and the little clock on the
mantel ticked the hours away until Mrs
Ainsworth raised her head with a start
of surprise.
"Twelve o'clock - she exclaimed. 81
wonder why Ned isn't here? What can
keep him in the Office so late at night
Hark What is that ?"
It was the sound of feet upon the
pavement, followed by a sudden, sharp
ring of the door-bell
Mrs. Ainsworth hastily smoothed her
hair and ran downstairs and opened the
door starting back with a cry of terror
at the objects that presented themselves.
There, in charge of two burly police
men, was Ned, his clothes covered with
mud, his face with blood, and his wild
eyes and lolling attitude betraying all too
plainly his deplorable, disgraceful con-
dition.
One of the policemen touched his hat
respectfully to the stricken young wife
eff you please, ma'am, it's nothing
serious. The boys at the store made
night of it and wound up with row.
The cut on his head is not dangerous
and by morning he'll be all right.
"'By morning he'll be all right, Oh
no, no 7" thought Mrs. Ainsworth. "He
is ruined-he will never stop now. I !
know his disposition, and I-Oh, God
pity me I helped to drive him to it.
"Assist him upstairs, please" she
said, "and then you can 60" and she
wondered how she could speak so quietly |
and follow them so calmly when her
heart was breaking.
Strong arms laid him down upon the
lounge, and then the two policemen de-
parted and the wife was alone with her
sorrow and shame.
She wiped the blood from his forehead,
smoothed back the wavy, silken hair,
and knelt by his side and prayed.
"Help me help me to be strong, Oh
Godl and to keep him from temptations,
was the ceaseless prayer through the
long hours of the night.
At last he stirred uneasily, and sud
denly started up to sitting posture
Halo, Mamie is it you? And are
you through crying? Where are the
boys and with look Of fear crossing
his face, IN his now awakening faculties
-'' where the mischief is that money p
feeling nervously in all his pockets.
"What money, Ned?' inquired his
wife, new dream coming over her.
"Why, the money I had Of old
Smiths. forgot to put it in the bank,
as he ordered, and went off with the
boys on a lark, and-and by Jupiter,
Nanniel it's gone I've been robbed Of
my employers money Ibis face white

SWEPT BY A CYCLONE.
Three Mississippi Towns Almost Destroyed
and Many People Killed and Injured.


A destructive tonado swept oyei
Iowa, North Carolina, Mississippi and
Georgia, on Monday. 1t is feared that
no less than one hundred and fifty live,
were lost. The damage to property
was immense. The villages of Wes-
son and Beauregard, Miss, were
wrecked the damage at the latter
amounting to $250,000. The cyclone
was accompanied by torrents of rain and
dreadful thunderstorm. Panic pre-
vailed all along its track. Cattle per
ished by the hundred, and the most
narrowing scenes and incidents arc
reported
At Wesson, Miss, the number of
killed is estimated at twelve two OF
three children are missing and $50 OF
200 dwellings, have been blown down.
There are known to be seventy-five peo-
pie with broken limbs. The town of
Beauregard, Miss, was entirely wiped
out and only a mass of rubbish remains
The list of dead is fully fifteen, and fifty
persons are injured.
On the Natchez and Columbus Rail
road the town of Tillman was destroyed
and on the Vicksburg and Meridian Rail
road the town of Lawrence suffered ter
nbly, but no lives were lost.
A dispatch from Aberdeen, Miss, says
the cyclone passed over that portion OF
the city known as Freedmantown. Eight
or ten lives were lost, and about iist-
persons, most of them negrOe'
jured, some of whom will p ''..svIy die.
The path of the storm was about 300
yards wide, and its direction from south
west to northeast.
At Americus, Ca, the destruction Of
property was very heavy, and twenty
five persons lost their lives.
The track of the tornado was from
three hundred to a thousand yards wide.
The rain poured in torrents, and the
lightning flashes, followed by peal after
peal of deafening thunder, made up a
scene at once sublime and appalling.
Houses were blown down, forests lev
elled and all vestige of fences swept
away. Cattle, swine and horses were
killed by hundreds. All the farms and
plantations in the track of the storm are
in ruins and all the grain crops destroyed.
Twenty-Five people were killed and 200
wounded in the county. On Tuesday a
dispatch from Americus said The hOr-
nble details come in hourly. Many
houses and mills, with their contents,
animals and children were blown hun
dreds of yards.
The tornado or perhaps series of
cyclones swept on as far as North
Carolina. In Morehead City serious
damage was done and a number of per-
sons were injured.
At the same time portions Of Iowa
we're visited by cyclones, doing serious
damage.
Later returns from the track of the
terrible tornado which swept through
the South, say that between 200 and 800
lives were lost in Mississippi, Georgia
and South Carolina, and that fully one
thousand persons were more or less in
ured, some of them fatally and others
crippled for life.

1t has OF late been remarked one of the sssgns
OF The times, that there IS a tendency to concen-
trate the wholesale liquor trade in the hands of a
comparatively small number OF houses OF well-eS-
tdbllshed reputation. Consumers are not now SO
readily satisfied once they Were the discussions
OF medical men and OF the newspaper press having
opened their eyes to the necessity of using only
goods that are absolutely pure. In Philadelphia
JhiS tendency has lately received an Illustration by
the very great increase that has taken place in the
