Just one year after the marriage,
And in her room alone,
Stands she whose disgrace and poverty
Throughout the town are known.
Her eyes are dimmed with burning tears
As abe murmurs her evening prayer,
20! God, thy help I seek, for few my
years,
And my burden great to bear"
But harkl she's not alone,
She hears hurried step,
Another-the door opens,
And what sight she met
Willie. fond, brown-eyed Willie,
As they laid him down they said:
He was drunk, and the train ran over
him
And now-he lay there-dead.
Forsaken, poor girl, by all but Him
Who never the vilest forsakes
Until the breath from their bosoms
By the hand of death He takes.
Then let all call on Him now,
While an ocean of hope there lies,
And in heaven will be awarded,
Eternal life, their prize.

TWO PICTURES.

BY MISS O. X.
IT'S Just before the marriage.
And in her room alone,
Stands she whose graceful carriage
Throughout the town is known;
Beautiful, cannot describe her,
Blue eyes, and long brown hair.
Complexion almost transparent,
With the peach-bloom here and there
The only child of fond parents,
She never care has known,
Her face turns pale at the thought
OF leaving them all alone.
She leaves them against their wishes,
This disturbs her all the more,
But rather than make her unhappy
They are willing to stand the blow.
But will bring them together,
Both loving me, rs they do.
After all, Papa shouldn't object,
For Wiilie's I'D brave. and true.
He only drinks just II little,
Not going to taste il again,
And l will be so very happy,
Happier than have ever been.

TORNADO PREDICTIONS.
Oakland rribunc.)

The results of the special investiga-
tons of tornadocs in 1882 and 1888
have led the United States Signal
Office to adopt plan for thoroughly
studying this meteorologic pheno
mena. The work is now carried on
by about 500 observers, called tor
nado reporters, whoes stations are
mostly located in the States of Ala
bama, Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Missouri, Arkansas,
Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ne
braska, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Since March 10, 1884, according to
Sergeant j. p. FINLEY, tornado pre-
dictons have been matter of daily
study. The average up to June LIST,
shows that it has been possible on
fifty-fve days to successfully predict
from the morning weather map that
no tornado would occure on that day,
and on twenty-eigh other days tor
nadoes were predicted for certain
States or larger regions, and of them
the tornadoes on seventeen days
occurred in or near the specified re-
gion, while on eleven days tornadoes
occurred in regions for which they
were not predicted.

A sKILFul SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna
Mr., Kasson, has lately forwarded to his
Government an interesting account of a
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed by Professor Billroth, of
Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, con.
sisted in the removal of portion
Of the human stomach, involving
nearly one.third of the organ-and
strange to say, the patient recovered
the only successful operation of the
kind ever performed. The disease for
which this operation was performed
was cancer of the stomach, attended with
the following symptoms The appetite
is quite poor. There is peculiar hides.
cribablc distress in the stomach, feel.
ing that has been described us II faint
"dU zone" sensation; sticky slime col
lects about the teeth, especially in the
morning, accompanied by an unpleasant
taste. Food fails TO satisfy this peculiar
faint sensation but, on the contrary, it
appears to aggravate the feeling. The
eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. The sufferers feel
tired all the time, and sleep does not
seem TO give rest. After time the pa
tient becomes nervous and irritable,
gloomy, his mind filled with evil fore.
bodings. When rising suddenly from
recumbent position there is dizziness,
whistling sensation, and he is obliged
to grasp something firm to keep from
falling. The bowels costive, the skin
dry and hot at times; the blood becom-
ing thick and stagnant, and does not
circulate properly. After a time the
patient splits up food soon after eating,
sometimes in sour and fermented con.
dition, sometimes swedish to the taste.
Oftentimes there is palpitation of the
heart, and the patient fears he may have
heart disease. Towards the last the
patient is unable to retain any food
whatever, as the opening in the mites.
tines becomes closed, or nearly so. AL
though this disease is indeed alarming,
sufferers with the above named symp-
toms should not feel nervous, for nine
hundred and ninety cases out of q
thousand have no cancer, but simply
dyspepsia, a disease easily removed if
treated in proper manner. The safest
and best remedy for the disease is
Seigel's Curative Syrup, a vegetable pre-
paration sold by all chemists and medi-
cine vendors throughout the world, and
by the proprietors, A. j. White (Limit-
ed), II, Farringdon.road, London, E. c..
This Syrup strikes at the very founda-
ton of the disease, and drives it, root
and branch, out of the system.

Stopped His Paper.

We take the following amusing in.
cident from an exchange:
Some years ago, when the writer
was reporter, it devolved on him to
write for the same edition an account
Of the presentation Of a gold-headed
cane to the Rev. DR.. Nudge, the clergy
man of the place, and description Of
a new hog killing machine that had
just been put in operation at the fac
tory. Now, what made the Rev. Mr..
Nudge mad was this:
The inconsidera.e compositor who
made up the forms got the two &C
counts mixed up in a frightful man.
ner, and when it went to press some
thing like this was the appalling re-
snlt: "Some of the Rev. Mudge,s
friends called on him yesterday, and,
after a brief consultation, the unsus-
pecting hog was seized by the hind
legs and slid along the beam until it
reached the hot-water tank. His
friends explained the object OF the
visit, and presented him with hand
some gold headed butcher, who grab
bed him by the tail and swung him
around, and in less than minute the
carcass was 10 the water. Therefore
he came forward and said there were
times when the feelings overpowered
one, and for that reason he could not
do more than to attempt to thank
those around him for the manner III
which such an animal was cut into
was astonishing. The DR..
concluded his remarks, the machine
seized him, and in less time than it
takes to write it, the hog was cut into
and worked into delicious
sausages. The occasion will be re-
by the Doctors friends as
one Of the most pleasant Of their lives.
The best piece can be obtained for
seven cents pound, and We are sure
those who sat under his ministry will
rejoice to hear that he has been so
handsomely treated"

She said the child, very much ex-

and betraying traces of great and un-

of throat being cut by drawing his
hands across his neck. He beat him.

showed that the victim was China

boy was also permitted to go on the
stand reproduce the scene, his mother
acting as Interpreter. The men were
convicted.
A majority of the Supreme Court
set aside the verdict on the ground
that the doy was not competent wit
ness. He was not shown, and he could
not be shown to have any idea of the
nature of an oath. In q case involv-
ing life and death this was highly
important. 1t was also impossible to
cross examine him. The court, how
ever, expressed its belief that the ac-
cused were guilty on the strength of
the very evidence which they excluded.
This decision is probably sound le-
gally; but it may be questioned
whether it does not err on the side Of
that excessive technicality by which
so many murderers are allowed to es-
cape. A good many persons will be
more inclined to agree with the dis
sent of one of the judges, who declared
that if the law of evidence opened no
door for testimony of this kind-teeti-
mony which, from the very Limitation
OF the witness powers, it was morally
i'm possible for him to manufacture
then the sooner the law is changed
better.
Whether these technical decisions
be justified or not, it is noted that in
the cases ''of life and death" which
are involved. it is the ''iife and death"
of the criminal, rather than of the
community, around which so many
safeguards are thrown.
