A New Use for Ola Pianos.

There came into my possession,
many years ago, a very old-fashioned
upright piano. We found a place for
it in my study, more for the beauty
and quaintness of the case, which was
of rosewood, and Of the usual excel
lent workmanship, than from any
hope of deriving comfort from any
sweet music the mellow ivories might
produce. 1t was old, and it's time
and power for discoursing sweet
music were past and gone; try as we
would, by a new string here and
another there, it refused to send out
any but shrill and d%iscordant notes,
and in despair we locked it up. And
so it might have stood for many years
to come, pleasant to look upon, but
utterly useless, had it not been that a
good many books were scattered
about the house and demanded case.
While trying to reconcile ourselves to
parting with the piano to make room
for the bookcase, the thought struck
us. "Surely this would make a splen.
did bookcase if its inside could be
bodily taken out without injury to
the Frame" We sent for a workman,
who saw the possibility of doing this
for us at a moderate sum, and the re-
suit is that we have a beautiful piece
of furniture and bookcase combined.
The upper part, consisting OF about
two-thirds of the height, contains
three shelves for hooks and a writing
desk-the former k-yboard-running
the whole depth and width of the
piano, while the under third forms a
famous cupboard for manuscript and
magazines.-From the Girls Own Pa.

THE FLOODS.

w ith the exception of an earth
quake shock, or a great coniagara-
tion, nothing is more suggestive OF
the m ajestic and irresistible pow
er of nature than is the rising and
overhowing of a great river. Ihe
ingenuity of man has never been
able to derive means of controlling
the overflow of stream. The
trongest works by the most skill
ful engineers have from time to
time been swept aside by the
might of the waves. The labor OF
a lifetime may be swept away in a
moment, and these destructive
overhows are not confined to any
certain localities or alone TO the
large streams. But ever and anon
some village among the hills high
up above the sea'level, and il
would seem out Of the way of high
water is suddenly surprised and
swept away by a water-spout or
cloud-burst, so sudden as to give
no note of warning to those who
are unfortunately in this tract.
The town of Sloan Springs,
Ark, that was only few days ago
visited by food that laid waste
to the major portion of its build
ings and drowned three of its eiti-
zens, is located more than a thous-
and feet above the level of tie
sea, and on a small spring branch
not more than a mile below its
source. But the rain came in
such torrents that every hollow
and ravine became raging hoou,
and the valley below was for the
time a roaring mighty river that
swept everything in its pathway.
The originating causes OF these
disastrous floods have never been
understood or controlled by man
in the least, and we can only
view them as emblems of the
strength and power Of Him who
holds the universe in the hollow
Of his hand. A very large portion
of the richest farming land in the
whole Mississippi valley has been
overhowed and the present crop at
least destroyed. This, will with
out doubt, bring much suffering
