A Race with O Whirlwind.

A remarkable and thrilling incident
of Tuesdays storm was related TO the
reporter by q party who was travelling
on train on the Chester d. Lenoir Mar
row-gauge Railroad at the time the in
cident occurred. The train had passed
Lowerysville, and was speeding in the
direction of LincOintoD, when all on
board were startled by roaring sound
that could be distinctly heard above the
noise of the train, and on CLAN ing back
they saw an immense whirlwind tearing
along the railroad track, following d.
rectly behind the train at rapid rate.
The engineer was among the first
TO see it. and realizing what the conse-
quences would be should the whirlwind
overtake the train. he pulled the throt-
tie wide open, and an exciting race be-
gan. The whirlwind was not more than
five hundred yards behind the train,
aware of the painful fact that il was
gradually gaining upon them. There
were several ladies in the car, and they
cried and carried on at O terrible rate.
while the men danced about the car in
their excitement. vainly yelling at the
engineer TO put on more steam.
The race was kept up in this way for
two miles, when the train turned q
curve in the road. As the whirlwind
struck the curve it left the railroad
track. speeding its way right on through
the fields. At the time il left the track
it was not more than three hundred
yards behind the train. 1t was a thrill
ing race. and all the passengers blessed
that curve from the bottom of their
hearts. Charlotte (.N. CO. Observer.

Curious Ants.

What would you think, to see an
ant carrying parasol?" asked Uncle
"Oh. uncler' cried Johnny and Puss
at the same time.
You know an ant could not carry q
parasol," added Puss.
Their uncle had just come home from
a long trip to the West Indies and South
America. He had a great many won
derful stores to tell them about the
queer sights he had seen and the strange
PLACES where he had been. But they
thought he must be joking with them
now, for they could not believe that an
ant could do such a thing.
WELL" said Uncle Fred, "their
parasols were not made of silk stretched
over O wire frame. They were only
pieces of leaves from trees, and the ants
held them in their mouths in such q
way that they covered their body en-
tirely. You could not see the ants at
all. so the leaves looked as if they were
marching along of their own accord.
The first time I saw any was in the
West Ind es. One day, when was rid
ing with friend out to his plantation,
a great swarm of these ants crossed our
road. We watched them n long time
1t was a very queer sight, ! assure you.
They did not travel very fast. There
must have been thousands and thou
sands of them, for we could not see
either end of the column"
where were they going, WONDER"
said Johnny.
They were carrying the leaves to
their nests. They do not eat the leaves,
but they are very fond of n fungus
which grows on them after they have
been little while in their underground
nests. The ants are very destructive,
and do great deal of damage. Some
times they will cut every leaf off of a
tree.
Don't we have any here?' asked
Puss, who was much interested, and
wished she could see some.
No" said Uncle Fred. I'VE have
some curious ants, but none like those
l have been telling you about. Our

If the sons who have left home could
only feel some Of the loneliness that 90
oppresses their mothers could know
only part of their longing for news
from the absent ones, and the bitter dis
appointment OF watching for letters that
seldom come-they would be more
thoughtful of her whose constant care
for years was of them. It is usually
mere thoughtlessness; but often the
most singing wrongs arc committed
through want Of thought. The young
men have life before them, with fort
unes to make and honorable names to
win. and their chances and thoughts are
ahead. They do not realize that their
parents look backward far o 'tener than
beyond them and that tears often dim
the dear old mothers eyes because the
little boy who used to come so con-
| fidingly to her is now beyond her reach,
and apparently needs neither care nor
sympathy. He has not forgotten his
mother; no, indeed. But he is so busy
that writing Is neglected, and If con-
science puts in o protest, 1t is silenced
BY saying: Mother knows l would
write II anything were amiss." 1t Is
not so much that the mother expects
things to 60 amiss (though she often
thinks for hours of the lassitude or
headache the son has mentioneO,
but she so longs for written char
acters telling her that she is q
"dear mother yet. and that her boys
are still atiectionate" and glowing"
he young men do not realize that their
letters are treasures, or that the smallest
of their do:ngs interest their parents;
and they can not understand the great
love that sympathizes with every defeat
and sings with Joy over every success.
The mothers do not grieve over mere
absence; but 1t is hard, indeed, for
even the stoutest-hcarted TO see their
boys drifting away until they conclude
they no longer love them. This may
not be, for sons seldom cease to love
and respect true mothers; but so long
as they arc careless and neglectful, what
proof have the waiting mothers that
their boys are not exceptional ones, and
have not allowed the busy world to
steal all their affections?
Boys, young men. middle-aged men,
every one who has mother, remember
that she lives in her children, and you
do her bitter, grievous wrong when
weeks and months elapse between your
letters, which even then are not so
affectionate as they should be. Make
them frequent and loving, and tears of
Joy will often dim the kind old eyes,
because. although you are a bearded
man and her head only reaches your
shoulder, you are not ashamed TO make
"dear mother" confidant Of your joys
and sorrows. Country Gentleman.
