A remarkable and thrilling incident
of Tuesdays storm was related to the
reporter by a party who was travelling
on train on the Chester q Lenoir Mar
row-gauge Railroad at the time the in
cident occurred. The train had passed
LowerysVille, and was speeding in the
direction of Lincolnton, when all ON
board were startled by a roaring sound
that could be distinctly heard above the
noise of the train, and on glancing back,
they saw an immense whiTlwind tearing
along the railroad track, following di-
rectly behind the train at rapid rate.
The engineer was among the first
to see it, and realizing what the conse-
oyertake 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,
and the anxious passengers soon became
aware of the painful fact that it was
gradually gaining upon them. There
were several ladies in the car, and they
cried and carried on at 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 it left the track
it was not more than three hundred
yards behind the train. 1t was thrill
ing race, and all the passengers blessed
that curve from the bottom of their
hearts. = Charlotte (M CO. Observer.

Curious Ants.

"What would you think, to see an
ant carrying parasolP" asked Uncle
Fred.
"Oh, uncle!'' cried Johnny and Puss
at the same time.
"You know an ant could not carry
parasol," added Puss.
Their uncle had just come home from
a long trip to the West Indies and South
America. He had great many won
derful stories 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
pieces of leaves from trees, and the ants
held them in their mouths in such
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 l saw any was in the
West Indies. One day, when was rid
ing with friend out to his plantation,
a great swarm of these ants crossed our
road. We watched them a long time.
1t was 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, 1 wonder"
said Johnny.
"They were carrying the leaves to
their nests. They do not eat the leaves,
but they are very fond of fungus
which grows on them after they have
been little while in their underground
nests. The ants are very destructive,
and do a great deal of damage. Some
times they win cut every leaf off of a
tree.
Don't we have any hereP" asked
Puss, who was much interested, and
wished she could see some.

some curious ants, but none like those

4 PIECE or ADVICE.

Young ladies, pray listen to me,
And keep just as quiet as mice,
While sing you sOng-it is not very long
Which contains piece of advice:
No matter what people may say,
No matter what somebody thinks;
It you wish to be happy the rest of your
days,
Don't marry a man If he drinks;
Don't marry man If he drinks
He may be so handsome and gay.
And have such beautiful voice;
And may dance so divinely youth feel in
your heart
That he must be the man of your choice;
If his accents are tender and low,
And sweeter than roses and pinks,
And his breath quite different thing, you
may know
Your exquisite gentleman drinks;
Your exquisite gentleman drinks.
Just think Of the sorrows and cares,
The heart-rending signs and fears;
Of the words and the blows, and cruelest
woes
And then think of the ocean of tears;
Think of Toodles the drunkest of men,
His attitudes his coughs, and wfnks,
And then think what dignif1ed pair you
will make
If you marry man that drinks.
Young ladies, look well to your hearts,
Don't throw them away on a sot,
Or man who is given to treating hiA
friends,
Whatever his station or lot;
Though his pride may uphold him awhile.
Yet sooner or later he sinks;
Then if you would be happy the rest Of your
days,
Don't marry man if he drinks.

Bows, Remember Your Mother.


If the sons who have left home could
only feel some of the loneliness that so
Expresses 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
fer years was of them. 1t is usually
mere thoughtlessness; but often the
most stinging wrongs are 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 oftener than
beyond them and that tears often dim
the dear old mother 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 q protest, it is silenced
by saying: Mother knows / would
write If anything were amiss." 1t is
not so much that the mother expects
things to go amiss Though she often
thinks for hours of the lassitude or
headache the son has mentioned),
but she so longs for written char
acters telling her that she is
dear mother" yet. and that her boys,
are still ahectionate' and g loving"
The young men do not realize that their
letters are treasures, or that the smallest
of their doipgs 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 it is hard. indeed, for
even the stouteSt-hearted 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 are 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 affectionsP
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
afectionate as they should be. Make
them frequent and loving, and tears of
Joy will often dim the kind old eyes,
because, although you are bearded
man and her head only reaches your
shoulder, You are not ashamed to make
"dear mother" a confidant of your joys
and sorrows. Country Gentleman.

A Leap-Year Episode.

Society, as a sort of Jest, has decreed
that any young man whorefuses a leap
year proposal from a lady is in honor
bound to present her with silk dress.
There Re number of old maids in
town who have already accumulated
enough silk dresses to stock dry goods
warehouse. But that is not what | de-
sire to say. One day last week Young
man in society here paid visit to a
Young lady friend. They were not en-
gagged, but he had given ample evidence
that he would like to be if he could only
muster up sufficient confidence.
He had been fooling along on the
outside edges of an engagement for six
months or more, and the lady began to
grow anxious. 1t was one of those
cases where both parties foundered
around in the sweet meshes of love,
without ever coming to an open under
standing. On the evening in question
the lady, half in Jest and wholly in ear
nest, proposed to him. He said that
silks were unusually high-prieed, and
that if she would be married at once he
would accept. Much to his sarprise
she did accept and the couple visited
the parsonage of q neighboring clergy
man, where the bride produced the H.
cense, showing that her determination.
was not q sudden freak of fancy, and
the pair were made man and wife ~

Sunny Rooms.

Those who build houses, do SO forthe
income they may yield. They are not
especially interested in the welfare of
those who may inhabit them. AS q
matter of observation we must insist
that shaded houses are unhealthy, that
every dwelling in which the
young and growing live should have
sunlight pouring into some of its rooms
during every hour of the day. The i'm
portance of admitting the sunny rays ia
dwellings can not be too highly asti-
mated. These rays promote health and
strength. We are apt to feel that good
health depends on pure air more than
on the influence of the sun. They both
have so great an influence on life and
growth that they should be allowed to
ill every room occupied by animals or
plants. Light may be so direct and
brilliant as to'be injurious to the ewes.
then let its penetrating rays be softened,
but let them enter in such way as to
do good and no harm.
Much has been said in recent times
about the value of a sun bath. No
doubt it does produce and retain
41Ou4DliJ 0OAOI0lO4 vi b1IC bOQfs LII COSTS
nothing but the means of exposing the
nude body to the sunny rays in such
way as to exclude prying eyes A few
aged persons. we have known, visu
built a small room upon the top of their
dwelling in such way as to admit
freely the sunny rays but exclude all
eyes but His who lives in the space far
above. These men lived to see their
ninetieth year and more. They did not
hesitate to proclaim the great influence
of sunlight upon health and life Others
viii find, if they search, that sunlight is
worth more than gold-and pure water,
fresh air, proper food well digested and
sunny house, always dry, will secure
health and strength. Any one who has
eyes and uses them may see that those
who live in the open air and under the
sunny rays are healthier and stronger
than those whose days are chiefly spent
in the shade. The feeble should seek
the sunny rays; many become feeble by
excluding from their homes the life
giving sun. They do all they can to
exclude the source Of all strength and
health. Let all pale, weakly women
court the sunny rays, and become robust
and strong. C r 4AIlea. III. D.. IL

Widows Ways.

II have occasionally noticed that you

NEW YORK Jews are joining in the
Temperance movement.
Dr.. HERMANN KERR, a celebrated
statistician, says that the annual NOR
tality from intemperance in Great Brit
ain is 40, 500.
STATISTICS show that in Denmark,
whose male population succeeds in
drinking annually fourteen gallons Of
spirits per capita, drunkenness has to
do with thirty-one per cent. of the seri-
GUS and sixty-nine per cent. of the petty
crimes committed.
GRATIFYING success has attended the
recent movement for Temperance re-
form in New Jersey Through the eff
forts of Messrs. Maybee and English,
assisted by many ministers and others,
great numbers have been induced TO
abandon the use of Intoxicating liquors,
and public sentiment is daily growing
stronger in opposition to the traffic in
ardent spirits. In some of the towns
where the work has been undertaken
the grog-shops are suffering Tor lack of
patronage. Moral suasion IS the weap-
on employed against them and it
seems to be proving more elective than
legal measures.

Alcohol VS.. Health.

1t is believed that there is no known
poison capable of producing so much
harm, and not prove fatal, so much
commotion, antagonism, SO interfering
with every function of the body, so
wasteful of power, as this alcoholic
poison. 1t not only strikes at the root
of the tree of human life, but it mains,
distorts, withers and destroys every
rootlet, fiber, branch and leaflet of the
body and soul. With the most intimate
relations and necessary dependencies
existing between the soul, mind and
body, the interviewing, SO to speak, of
all the organs, parts, and even fibers Of
the body even slight arrangement OF
one organ, one function, viii derange
the whole machinery. While it is not
possible for any organ or function to
become deranged without q CORE
spending arrangement of the whole
body, the most important organs
affected by alcohol, perhaps, are
the stomach, liver and kidneys,
sadly interfering with nourishment
and excretion, at once impairing di.
gestion and preventing the normal
elimination of the waste matters, leav..
ing the body in an impure state. Since
each vital process is dependent upon
another, it is manifest that Just to the
extent that zone member fails to per-
form its duty effectively, such failure
necessitates certain amount of imper-
lection in the remaining processes.
But, more. AS we are constituted, the
highest physical development is made
dependent upon the sanctions of the
higher natures of the mind and soul.
A swine may be well developed without
intelligence, but man, as a man, new
er, without mind and soul. And, while
it is so manifest that grief may sadly
impair digestion, and cheerfulness pro-
mote it, it is plain that all mental and
spirital excitements, disturbances and
confusion, such as are necessarily pro.
duced by alcohol in all its forms, must
impair the health, at least through in.
digestion.
The insensibility of the nerves, theiI
partial paralysis, as the inevitable re-
suit of regular and constant drinking,
the impairment of the will, are all I'M
favorable to that normal action of all
of the body forces, which. we call
health. The indifference of the mental
processes, such as always attends the
use Of intoxicating liquors, the reckless
ness, the stupidity, the unsettled state
of the mind, the insensibility, the Yio-
lent outbursts of passion, each follow
ing its predecessor without any method,
state of confusion worse con-
founded all render the natural activi-
ty of the system impossible, health un-
attainable.
Calmness, quiet, the natural move
ments of the vital forces. and harmony
in the various processes, are made ut
terably impossible when this dread dis
turber, this foreign element, gains adj
mittance into the human body Golden
Rule.
