As she dreams aud dreams.
Far up in those mountains of red and gold,

She sees, doubt not. lover true

And she sits there gazing long, long while,
And dreams and dreams.

And the hot eyes flash, and the cheeks burn
As he spurs his horse through the mud and
At his side gieams sword. now useless and

While press my face to the pane and see.
Is 1t horses hoofs on the pavement below?
Have you come, my knight is 1t yes or no?

Adjoining the hand of a maid like mel
And now i can feel his breath on my cheek,

What are Cyclones!

The case of Joseph Baker VS.. the
Rockford Insurance Company, of Rock
ford, ILL.,, which has been on trial in
the United States Circuit Court here,
has been decided by the jury bringing
in a verdict for the defendant. The
case is one of unusual interest, not so
much from the money involved as the
question ut issue. The facts were that
Sunday, April IS, 1881, a cyclone swept
over the western part Of this county,
destroying, among much other proper
ty, the house of Mr.. Joseph Baker, on
which he had fire and lightning pol
icy in the Rockford Fire Insurance
Company for $1,000. Mr.. Baker
brought suit against the company to re-
cover his insurance, alleging that
cyclones are electric or lightning
storms, and that the destruction of his
house by cyclone was destruction by
lightning, against which the company
had insured him. This raised not only
very nice legal, but delicate and
much-disputed scientific question, and
it was found necessary to take the testi-
mony and deposition Of several persons
well known in scientific circles to place
the question properly before the jury.
For the plaintiff the deposition Of the
late Prof. John Tice was taken. He
inclined very strongly to the electric
theory, as did also Mr.. LlewelyR, Of
Mexico For the defense the testimony
and dispositions of Col. G. Shaler Smith,
Prof. Francis G. Nipher,.. of Washing
ton University, St. Louis, and Prof.
James G. Watson, of Washburn OBJ
servatory, Madison, Wis, were intro
duced; also the report of John P. Fin
ley, Of the United States Signal Service,
detailed by the Government to investi-
gate cyclones, and who has taken OBJ
servations Of between 600 and 700 tor
nadoes. The defense admitted that
more or less electricity prevails in
storms. The court instructed the jury
that if they found electricity the pre-
dominant and controlling force in a
cyclone or tornado they were to find
for the plaintiff. After being out about
three hours they returned verdict for
the defendant. Jefferson city (Mo.)

Tim and His Pet Dove.

One day. when little Tim Ray was
picking berries in field, he found q
dove with broken wing. He carried
ii home. and bound the wing close to
the doves side with linen band. Soon
tho wing was as well as ever, and the
dove could ny again but IL did not
want to fly away from Tim, for 1t had
grown very tame. Tim was glad TO
have 1t stay, for he had no toys or pets.
When he. went to pick berries, the
dove would go, too, perched on his
shoulder. Tim named it Fairy, and
taught II to come at his call. and to eat
from his hand. At night the dove would
roost on the head OF Tins bed.
Tins mother was taken very sick.
There was no one TO nurse her but Tim;
and when she could not eat, and began
to grow worse, Tim went for doctor.
"She will get well if she has good
food said the doctor. "She must
have chicken or meat broth"
Tim had no money to buy meat but
all at once he thought Of his dove. He
knew it would make good broth, but he
could not bear to kill it.
He saw neighbor going by tho
house, and he ran out and put the dovo
in her hands.
"Please kill my dove, " he said. "and
make my mother some broth she is 30
sick.'
Then he ran in the house, and tried
not to think Of his poor little dove. He
did not want his mother to see him cry,
for she would have said that the dove
should not be killed.
In about an hour the neighbor brought
some good hot broth /; and when Tins
mother ate it, she said, she felt almost
well again.
"You shall have some more to-mor-
row." said the woman. II will make
broth for you every day until you are
well again.
Tim followed the woman to the door
as she went out, and said, so that his
mother should not hear, that he had no
more doves, and did not know how to
get meat for more broth.
Before the neighbor could speak.
there was little rustic of wings, and
Fairy few in and perched on Tins
shoulder.
"Cool coo!" she said, pecking at
his cheek.
"You see did not kill your dove
said the woman. !" i made the broth
from chicken, and have plenty more
at home. You were good boy to be
willing to have your pet dove killed to
make broth for your mother"
How happy Tim was He. loved his
dove better than ever, now that he had
it back again. His mother did not know
until she was quite well how near she
had come to eating poor little Fairy. -
