Modern Nehemiah.

And it came to pass, that the Lords
house had fallen into decays; the
plaster had cracked upon the waA,,
and the roof had waxed old, so shat
the rain from heaven came down in
the midst thereof. siss>sa.szs- s.sz7s''
And then the elders and mighty
men, and those having money, con.
suited together and said, go to, now,
let US repair the Lords house, and,
because there is much lack in the
treasury thereof, let us go intezthe
groves and prepare place and get
10 ourselves much delicate provision
for feast and for q merrv-making,
and when we have duly warned the
|people-even the. young people-of
the land, we will sit in the gates and
take shekels of silver for the Lords
house. -''7is a'.i4isf3
And it came to pass, that when the
wise men had warned the people, that
many did come to the grove to make
merry and the mobiles did take. from
the young man shekel of silver for
himself and one for the young woman
that came with him, that they might
go in and make merry, and when
there came to the gates some young
women who we're alone the elders did
not take shekels of these, but suffered
them to enter In also that they might
entice many young men to enter in
and buy much dainty refreshment.
which was there sold by the elders Of
the Lords house for the treasury Of
the Lords house. - -!
And it came to pass, that the goers-
in were so merry, and did eat SO
much of the dainties, that none Has
left for the poor of the land, neither
was all the shekels exhausted in the
purses Of the young men who came
thither. -' :.
And the elders and the wise men
said. go to, now; this worketh better
than we expected. Let us, therefore,

Mrs. jones' Mistake.


"Maria," said Mr.. Jones, when his
wife told him she was going out riding
that afternoon, ''it's going to be hot,
and I'll send up fan and Japanese
parasol. You put the fan in the mar
tingale and spread 1t open, and fasten
the parasol in loop behind the ear"
3 A"Won't that be fly" said Mrs.
Jones, .swhere did you see them?"
0tAt the sea Shore" snorted Jones,
"they are the toniest thing out. -
After dinner the package came.
Mrs. Jones opened it and found a
gay paper fan and paper parasol. Z

answered Bridget, shortly. at -
"Oh, a belt. Why Of course it is.

and put the parasol up and fasten It

sweet thing" - ,.zs
So Mrs. Jones drove old Tom in
the phaeton up one avenue and down
another, and was the observed of all
observers. She had fastened the
handle of the parasol into her bonnet
strings, and as it was not very large
it did not obstruct the view, and peo.
pie stared as much as they did al

the style and was more than happy

when spoken to in street car; all but

fished one out and extended it to him.

"No, sir" said the woman, firmly, in

pointed with q crooked foreflnger to the

From the Boston Globe.
A cloud, black IS the ravens wing, ap-
peared In the west Suddenly it split,
and between the two black trains expand
ed the most fearful dismal sky / ever
saw. The color was green-gray-yel-
low, and it darkened the sun so 1t be-
came as twilight. The carpenters had
gathered together with us ON the porch.
ssThis mnst be a hailstorm," one of
them said; s'now we will pretty soon
hear of disasters" Suddenly the cleft
widened between the two black cloud
wings, and the upper one came with
terrible speed, hurryfng back toward us.
'Iet us walk in," said. est seems as
If We, too, shall get q taste of it," We
went in, and our parlor looked quite
dark, We had scarcely locked the door
before we heard the roaring of the storm
coming. @
In d moment we were surrounded by a
white cloud, and the wind and rain lashed
the house, which groaned and shivered.
1t was not rain, it was furious torrents
of water mixed with heavy hail, which
poured down from heaven. The storm
tried to burst open the door, but five
men pressed against it with all their
might. The wall seemed to give way,
and stood in bow; the buildings shook
as in commissions. felt tightening ol
my heart every time the house seemed
to be lifted from the ground and dropped
down again.
Twice we had these terrible shocks
then in moment house, men, furniture
werehurled through the air 100 feet away
l do not remember anything till 1 found
myself on the ground crawling among the
ruins of my home. The first discovered
was my wife, with child in each arm,
lying at my side. Men and children
were scattered aroud among lumber and
sidings, whether alive or dead nobody
could tell.
A table and staircase came fyins
through the air; some men met them ant
pushed them away, so they did not Kill
my wife and children; bits of wall ant
roof whirled round US; there it was i'm.
possible to remain. We crept and crawl
ed and ran for our lives down to tn,
forest. AS we found each other there
we were only six; friend of ours;
farmer, had one of the small girls in hi
arms, my wife another, and one of m
sons clung to me. But where were tn
rest of the children?
I had myself seen one of the carpen
ters run with my third little girl-but tn
eldest and youngest boy? Killed, per
haps, or lying mutilated among the ruin
and it was impossible to look for then
The hurricane would have swept u
away as soon as we had moved from th
wood. The only thing to do was to pres
| the children to us and give them SO muc
shelter as we could with our broade
backs. The rain and the hail lashed u!
the oak shrubs were blown fat to tn
ground, and their limbs struck our head
and shoulders like whips.
