A THUNOER-STORM.

The hot, hot Gay has slowly passed,
The welcome night has come at last.
And in the west
The storm clouds crest
is rising, fierce and fast
The gathering legiOns of the air
Are massing in black column there,
Their banners bright
Hume the night
With weird, fantastic flare.
In line of battle now they form,
And furious elemental storm
Magnificent and grand
Is sweeping Ger the land.
The lightning's sheets are hung on high,
With phosphorescent CLEAN.
The lghtning's bolts now rend the sky,
And melt in fiery stream,
Then through the cloud
The thunders loud
From peak to peak reVerberate.
Its submits jar,
Both near and far,
With such conclusion great
See! from the earth the flashes fly.
BlCod-red against the inky sky,
As mOrtals there
Might battle dare,
And wrath of storm defy
More awful now is seen each flash,
And louder now is heard each crash.
The lightningS glare,
The thunders blare.
The fierce battalions dash,
And sudden light of rising fire
Is mounting upward, higher, higher,
As, furious and fast,
1t rides upon the blast,
While puny mOrtals feeble might
Can only look, aghast.
Now. patter, patter, patter, sound
The raindrops falling all around.
The wild ferment
The clouds has rent,
They bleed from every wound.
AS avalanche deSCends the rain,
With rush and roar of hurricane.
AS torrents leap
Down mountains steep,
1t drives across the plain.
Where earth was dry and parChed before,
Now waters swell and rivers pour,
The tainted air grows pure,
For storm is natures cure.
The storm has come, the storm has passed
Has worked its Masters will.
In eastern sky, still overcast,
Are heard it's thunders still.
But in the west
Is peace and rest,
And brightly there the stars appear.
Our Father God
Has been abroad,
And given His children cheer.

The Raging Waters.

Locally, the action of the water has
been a disappointment this week. At
this time last week indications pointed
to a rapid decline in the basin, drawn
from the fact that the fall ut Cairo,
which was about 0.5 in "a hours. would
naturally increase, there being no rise
above except OF at st. Louis, by
which the Cairo gauge could expect
support.
The fall at Cairo during the week
has come ~ To expectations, increas-
ing from 0.5 to fraction over foot,
but the wonder is that proportion has
not reached the basin or Memphis.
All the week a drag from to 0 3
fall has been the rule AT Memphis and
Madison, where it was confidently ex-
pected to have attained downward
course of foot in "a hours. by the lai-
ter part of the week; but by these
capers the food only further maintains
its laurels as a record breaker and has
shown the folly of mans predictions.
The water at Madison has dropped
about 4 feet, and in doing this several
hundred acres of lands are released
an,s have crops planted on them. for
the fl. rmers have lost no time. especi-
ally il trL'e Of cotton.
At Helena the same drag has pre-,
vailed aud it was from this point, ow-
