THE TORNADO.
BY C. Is. MACLAY.

Sultry the air grew though purple haze
Subdued the vigor OF the day-eod's blaze,
While soughing, signing through the drowsy trees
anne languldly each dilatOry breeze.
N here and there. athwart the beaten way,
A straying current stirred the dust in play,
Whlrllng on tiptOe, leaped the thOrny hedge
To lose Itself among the tangled sedge.
Anon the fields, golden with ripening grain
Are rlppled as the bosom of the main;
4On sleeping groves outlined in failing light
Before the freshening gale grow ashen white!
Disheveled clouds fieck all the upper sky,
In every weird, fantastic form they fly;
While purple mists weave one dread leaden pail,
Enwrapping groves, fields, brooks, and high
ways all.
Then falls a stiffness Ger theenshrouded land;
The storm-king's cohorts, marshaled close at
hand,
Await the royal mandate to be given
Full ready now to pour their wrath from heaven.
Then flashed the signal through the awful gloom
Then crashed the thunderbolt, with echo1ng
boom
The solid earth a-tremble, can but await
Fulfillment of the dire decree OF tate!
The unbound winds, with gyratory sweep.
Gather the cloud born torrents i'll their keep,
And with reSiStleSS power, in deaten1ng roar,
A deluSe in their ruthless pathway pour!
The swaying trees now creak and bend and break
Their gnarled fibers to the roots a-quake!
The pillared mansion reels upon its base,
And PROSTATE falls before the StOrm-klng lace !!
The golden grain ruined harvest lies,
The lowing heard is slaughtered as 1T t1leS
And man who CHANGED to cross the cruel path
Has proven well the measure OF his wrath
And now, so soon! So blue and bright the sky!
The air soft ever maidenS sigh
This desolation! Oh, it doth but seem
The ftful fancy of a summer dream!

The Ability to Rear Pain

Is the test Of fortitude among the Indian tribes
But we defy any Cherokee, Sioux, or Comanche
to endure the twinges Of rheumatism without
wiHcing. These, indeed are sights at first, but
grow in intensity until they become unbeara-
ble No malady is more obstinate in its matu-
rity than that which gives rise to them. The
more need, then, of attacking it at the outset.
foremost among remedies for it is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, safer and infinitely more eff
fectve than colchicum, veratrum and nux vom-
lea, all remedies which might prove destructive
o. life in slightly excessive dose. Mineral de-
purents, also, when not positively mischievous,
are far inferior in remedial power to this salu-
tary botanic medicine 1t entirely expels from
the blood the acrid impurities which originate
the disease, and enrich as well as cleanse it,
Constipation, liver complaint, dyspepsia, and
other ailments also give way to it.

IN a poem called ''The Organist" we
are informed that "He sat him down
at twilight hour Before the ivory keys,
And let's his fingers wander DER. The
olavier as they please. 4
Though dark and still the empty
church, An angel fits DER head, And
passing near with dropping wings, He
leaves the player-dead." That angel
should not weary in his good work
Sometimes when a man is clawing the
ivory keys the neighbors want to hurl a
brick at him, but they would be salts
fed if an angel would hover over him
and leave him dead. The angel should
also hover over the amateur flute play
er, the cornetist, the ACCORDION fiend
and other musical aggravations.-Nor-

That Herb.
from the Cook.1

:
A story is told of Whittier, the
Quaker poet, dining once at a fine
house, where the lady was not at all
fnical. The table was the ordinarily
daily routine, but it was elaborate and
beautiful in every detail of furnishing
and food. We had spinach served ele-
gantly-a dainty in the cold winter
weather. Mr.. Whittier eyed it suspi-
ciously; then presently asked his host
ess for information by the question:
'What do you call that herb? ?" How
many people simply bred to plain
country life would dare to show the
simple ignorance that Whittier did?

The German Way of Doing 1t.
From the Chicago HERALD

Berlin post-boxes are painted blue
and gold and measure about two feet
each way. They are not fastened to
Iamp-posts, but to buildings. The
letter apertures are guarded by NOV
able spikes setting inward. On the
face the hours of clearing are given,
and dial moved by key shows the
next dispatch. The district station
to which the box is attached is also
shown, so that stranger learns at
once the nearest office where postal
business is transacted. In all but the
suburban parts of Berlin these street
boxes are cleared twenty times be-
tween 5:45 in the morning and 10 at
night. On Sunday there are seven
clearances between the same hours.

the portrait of history. No steel engraving or OH

A man by the name of Smith, in
company with two other men by the
name of Rich, left North Carolina to
visit this State, bringing son of
Smiths aged about 10 years. On the
way they bought a half gallon of bran
dy. The men all got drunk and also
made the child beastly drunk. There
is no telling how much of the brandy
they allowed the child to drink.
When dark came on them they call
ed at a house near Evansville to stay
all night; they were allowed to stay.
The child was taken in and put to
bed. About midnight the child be-
gan to have commissions and contin-
ued to have them until about 10
O'Clock next morning, when it was
taken with one and died. The peo-
pie are very much outraged about the
matter, and it will probably be inves-
tigated by the courts.

O'DONAyAN ROSSA SHOT.

The Irish dynamiters' attempt to
blow up Westminster Parliament
and London tower, finds an echo this
side of the waters in the sharp report
of pistol in the hands of a pretty
English woman, Mrs. Dudley, and
ODonavan Rosa falls to the side
walk in New York, shot in the back.
several shots having been fred at
him but only one hitting its mark.
The arrest of Mrs. Dudley immedi-
ately followed.
Rosa is the head of the dynami-
tiers in this country, and in his paper
1.-The United Irishman," he has in
cited assassination and justified the
use of dynamite to overthrow the
British government in revenge for
the wrongs inflicted upon Ireland.
In 1866-7-8 he published a paper in
Dublin called "The Irish People, y
and for his incendiary utterances he
was convicted of treason and sentenc-
ed to silent servitude in Portland
prison for term of years. When
his time expired, he came to this
country to avenge British cruelty.
AT safe distance from British po-
lice and power, he instigated others
to do the work of assassins and MUIR
derers, thus avoiding the punishment
due his own criminal acts. That ret
ributiOn has come, surprises but few,
and brings to mind the quotation
''They that take the sword shall fall
| by the sword" Lawlessness is met
| by lawlessness. Assassination by as.
sasslnation. 1t is to be regretted
that the arena of such diabolica
crimes should be transferred from tn,
shores Of England to the soil of libcr
ty-loving America. But O'Donavar
h0sSa deserves such a fate. A MAJ
who delights in the assassination o
innocent women and children as
righteous act for the grievances 0
Ireland, is a coward and forfeits tn,
respect and invites the condemnation
of the civilized world.
Rosa will recover from his Sigh
muscular wound and become a great
er hero than ever among dynamit,
sympathisers. But the end is no
yet, and it is high time that the gov
eminent of the United States SHOULD
put forth its strong arm and crush GU
assassins of whatever name or caus,
they may masquerade under.

OFFICIAL EXTRAVAGANCE.

Senator Bayardss friends contend
that he is too poor to be Secretary of
State. The present Secretary of
State certainly spends $50, year
outside of his salary. Mr.. Evarts,
who was very liberal entertainer,
spent something in the neighborhood
of $40, 900 year when he was secre-
tary.-Augusta Chronicle.
All of which goes to show the high
pressure of fashionable life in Wash
ington City. No wonder there is
entertainments, defalcations, bribery,
Credit Mobilier swindles, Star Route
frauds and kindred rascalities. Too
much fashionable extravaganza.
Think of it requiring $4,000 more
than an officers salary for him to do
his duty as servant of the people.
No one wants a democratic admins
tration to ape Mr.. Evarts as Hayes
Secretary of State in spending S40,-
600 per annum to entertain in royal
style the sycophants who may swarm
around him. 1t is truly time the ras-
Gals were turned out and a new era
of reform, official honesty and gov
ornamental economy was inaugurated
at Washington.
