I see her in her home content,
The faithful housewife, day by day,
Her duties seem like pleasures sent,
And JOY attends her OH her way.
She cares not for the loud acclaim.
That goes with rank and social strife,
Her waysidc home is more than fame;
She is its Queen-the faithful wife.
When summer days are soft and fair,
And bird songs fill the cottage trees,
She reaps BENSON as rare,
AS her own gentle ministries.
Peace shrincs itself upon her face,
And happiness in every look;
Her voice is full Of charm and grace,
Like music Of the summer brook.
In winter, when the days are cold,
And all the landscape dead and bare,
How well She keeps her little fold,
How shines the fire beside her chair!
The children go with pride to school,
The fathers toll half turns to play,
SO faithful is her frugal rule.
So tendcrly she molds the day.
let higher stations va1lnt their claim,
Let others sing Of rank and birth,
The faithful house wifc'S honest fame.
Is linked to the best JOY on earth.

| reckon the elements are satis-
fled now and will let us alone for
4 season. We've got nothing to
complain of ut my house and much
30 be grateful for. nevertheless one
Of my props wave been knocked
rom under, for I've been saying
and thinking for seven years that
;hese hills and mountains that
surround us were like Notifications
against storms and tempest and
cyclones and simOons and lorna
does and all those sort OF things.
| thought that the high peaks and
edges broke them to pieces when
they come and we were in no dan
ger, but the day we could look out
ut our windows and see the raging
balloon on it's winding way tear
ing up things and paying no re
Spect to houses or trees or man or
beast. 1t lifted up the roof Off Of
Nabor Munford's nice dwelling
like the shingles were feathers, and
then took hold Of his big two-sto-
ry barn and twisted it all to piec-
"s, and then dropped the frag-
mcnts about on nine mules and
'wo horses and carriage and all
sorts Of machines, and nine mig
gers to boot that were inside the
building. No, those darlleys were
not in. Tney saw the cyclone
tooling round the dwelling houses
and they run out Of the barn just
rs the suburbs of the monster got
there.
Says.I, "John what did those
darl1cys do then?' .....
Good gracious, boss, I tell you

There are no timbers over that.
But how are we going to get to
the tiowcr-pit,' said the girls. 'rhe
cyclone comes before anybody
knows it, and while we are run
ming to the tlower-pit it catches us
and carries us Off
Not only that said Mrs. Arp.
but the trees are all about and
they would be pulled up by the
roots and crush down on the flow
cr-pit and even the sash frames and
the glass could kill us, and then
there is always hail with the cv.
clone and that would beat us all
to pieces no I'm not going in the
ilower-pit.'
'All right said /. we will
stay right here in the family room
and see it out. / don't think it
will do anything but take the roof
IOf.'
why, it tore Mr.. MunforTs big
strong barn all to pieces and killed
his mules, said she. 1T Wouldn't
mind this house TT ALL
Then where arc you going,' said
I, and there was silence for a sea
son. Finally Mrs. Arp said she
wanted to move somewhere where
there were no storms or cyclones
There is no such place said |,
this side Of heaven
Last night my women folks
stayed up at nabor Freeman's to-
tea and about ten o'clock he came
down alone and said he wanted
somebody to go up after my folks.
why didn't they come down
with you? said l.. Afraid said
he. afraid Of what? said l. 'Cy-
cloncs, said he. was about to
express my Indignation, when he
said they had all been talking
about spirits and ghosts and his
wife didn't want to be left alone
and so he left my folks up there
while he came down. 1t does look
like spirits and magnetism and cy
clones are about to take this coun~
try and a man don't hardly know
whether it is worth while to plant
a crop or not, but reckon we will
plant. We have been sowing oats
all the week as hard as we can and
are still living in hope that sun
shine and the seasons Will cOntin
ne and the earth give it's increase
and this year be better one than
the last.
