Suffer Damages.
The demon in the wind turned itself
Dose Friday, and wreaked vengeance on
The material things of earth. How it
shrieked, and whistled, and sang, and
groaned, as it went skurrying along, at a
rate of a mile a minutel How the dust
and dried leaves were lifted aloft and
along, lending a murky, sodden
tinge to the light OF the April dayl How
the white, thin clouds were driven before
the gale, and were rent into shreds and
streaky patches OF vaporl There was the
bang, and roar, and din of metal roofs, as
the searching, prying demon forced its
way through some small ~creyice, and got
beneath the heavy housetops. The birds
even were afraid to venture far forth, so
fierce and steady was the terrific blow.
Mems hats and women's bonnets went
dancing down the streets, their owners
speeding along like a ship at sea under
full sail. The debris OF a hundred waste
baskets, carelessly emptied in the cutters
OF the streets, was gathered high up in
the air and scattered here and there. 1t
was awful, and grand, and-annoying.
SOME DAMAGE.
