LOVE REPELLED.
Within the garden wall he sat.
And softly strummed on his guitar
And filled the air with dulcet strain.
With tenor voice sang this refrain:
" Thou art so near and yet so far."
The maid ah! could my pen portray
The beauty that mine eyes beheld f
But no. I'll have to let that stand
And tell the story I've in hand.
How she his love repelled.
She listened as his song arose
Above her washtub's sullen roar.
' Tis awful sad," she said, " but then
I really can not stand it, when
It sounds so like dad's snore."
A moment more she listened there
And caught the words the singer sun:
My heart is sad and pants for thee."
His heart is sad and pants for me,"
And washboard down she flung.
Then down the cellar stairs she ran
(Sweet smiles her face chased e'en.
And. quick returning, brought to view
A chain and dog a bull-dog. too
And quick threw op the door.
The moon had rose above the hill
Bright scene to fill the poet's heart
When through the night a cry of pain,
A rush of feet, a fall, and then
The dog has done his part.
What's this you've brought, good dog.
For me? Some clothing from that man?
4 His heart was sad ' O. now. I see.
He's sent some of the 'pants' to me
On the installment plan!"
Detroit Free Press.
OXLY ONE LIFE.
I have before me a fac-simile copy of
the London Time.-. October 3, 1798. It
is twenty-three inches by seventeen,
print clear and large. It is a mite in
comparison with the Times of to-day.
It contains thirty-seven advertisements.
There are thousands of country news
papers now printed that are larger and
more imposing. It is a plain affair.
The age of the news items is note
worthv. The items from Weymouth
were five days old, those from Plymouth
foi'x davs, and those from Portsmouth,
Harwich and Yarmouth three days.
The Times of that date has this item:
'Among the wonders of the present
day, Mrs. Siddons" late achievements at
Brighton, Bath and London should not
be torgotten. She positively performed
at each of these places within the in
credible short space of ninetv-six
hours!"
Bath is one hundred and six miles
west of London, and Brighton fifty-one
miles south. It was a wonder of quick
travel that enabled Mrs. Siddons to Dlay
in each of these three places, traveling
in all three hundred and fourteen miles,
and all within four days. To-day if
the great tragedienne were alive and
4in condition' she might play in Bath
in the morning, give a matinee in Lon
don after lunch, and cap the climax by
appearing on the boards at Brighton at
night. &o far as traveling is concerned,
she might accomplish the trip with little
fatigue, and have several hours to rest.
And just here I am reminded that last
week I met a lawyer and his wife in the
Pullman car "Thracia." which left
Jersey City Wednesday evening and
reached St. Louis Friday morning.
Their business required haste. Sunday
evening they left St. Louis in the
Thracia," and were in New York
Monday morning at ten o'clock. They
had been from home four days and two
thirds of a day, had traveled twenty
one hundred miles, and after a day and
a half in St. Louis had been out only a
few hours longer than Mrs. Siddon's
"incredible short space of time."
In fact, if Mr Booth should choose
to do so, he might play in New York
Monday night. in Chicago Thursday
night, and in New York the second time
Saturday night the same week.
But this is mixing the old and the
new not very disagreeably, however.
The fac-simlle Times of "October 3,
1798, has one item of news that is in
several respects noteworthy. It an
nounces Nelson's victory of the Nile.
That battle occurred on the 1st of Aug
ust, and was not known in London un
til the 2d of October. Two months
were occupied in transmitting the news:
"The official news of thejjlorious victory
obtained by Admiral kelson over the
French Fleet, near Rosetta. arrived at
the Admiralty yesterday morning at
quarter past eleven o'clock."
It is very likely the continent was not
in a condition to make traveling safe
for an English courier And so Captain
Capel hatf to sail through the Straits of
Gibraltar, taking two months to carry
"the glorious news" to England. That
night "the illuminations were general
throughout the metropolis and its
neighborhood. And all ranks
of the people seemed to participate in
the glorious news." And after the play
it was Mr. Kemble that night, the
news of Admiral Nelson's victory "pro
duced a burst of patriotic exultation,
that has rarely been witnessed in a
theater." The audience sung "Rule
Britania" and then sung it again with
"the loudest and most fervent acclama
tions we have ever witnessed." They
rounded out with "God Save the Kins."
Two months to get the news of kel
son's victory of the Nile to London!
that is a fact to keep in mind. Now no
battle can be fought anywhere in the
British Empire without the Londoner
knowing all about it in the next day's
Times. And if the victor- be on the
right side or the wrong "he will say
"God Save the Queen." But to think
of the victory of Wolseley over Arabi
taking months or even " two days in
getting itself reported in London ! Surely
the world has been "marching in"
with big strides as if with "seven league
boots.'"
I am here reminded of an incident
which affords a point of comparison be
tween the "old times" and the new.
In 1781 Ashbel Green and Samuel
Beach, of Hanover, entered junior, half
advanced, at Princeton. The former
became a noted man. In 1785 he wag
valedictorian, and had the honor of ad
dressing Washington. The two Han
over classmates Decame tutors in the
eollege. In 1785 Beach's health broke
down and he removed to Charleston.
He wrote a Jetter to his father, who in
the stilted stvle of the day, he addressed
as "Honored Sir." In "that letter oc
curs the reference which is to serve as
the point of comparison. He mentions
the fact that his father's letter had been
only twenty days in its passage from
New York to Charleston! It seemed to
him very wonderful. But now the I
lastest Guion steamer can cross the At
lantic twice in that time, with time to
change cargoes and stock the ship.
In fact we liv in a day when won
ders, that are almost miracles, go un
noticed by us. A while ago. a Newark
banker asked Fisk & Hatch, in Wall
street,, if they wanted a hundred thou
sand dollars of United States bonds of a
certain kind.
The city banker at once engaged his
friend in an animated conversation
about Newark. In a few minutes it
seemed but a short time the Wall
street man said to the Newark man:
"Yes, we will take the bonds." And
wkea the transaction wag completed,
aid: " It may interest you to know
that while we were-talking about your
wie-awke city, I had telegTaphebi to
oar correspondent in-Germany a de-
scription of the bonds and the question
if they would buy them. And I received
their answer in the affirmative!"
Think of Captain Capel two months
conveying the news of Kelson's victory
of the JTile to London in 1798. antl
Samuel Beach magnifying the wonders
of the mail in 1790, which had carried a
letter from New York to Charleston in
twenty days! The comparison is sharp
and gTand.
While in the humor for it I torn to
an old paper, the Ohio Gazette, pub
lished in Marietta. August 8, 1805. The
settlement was then seventeen vears
oia. an thirteen vears enough neoDle
,--... .-.i
had settled north of the Ohio to torm a
rJ A
State. The State of Ohio was not four j
years old when this newspaper was
printed. It contains an advertisement I
for a runaway slave and President Jef- !
ferson's Proclamation as to land sales '
at Cincinnati, Chillicothe and Marietta. '
It has some gossip about Madame J.
Bonaparte "the beautiful and accom
plished young lady, Elizabeth Patterson,
o5a!timore." It has some news items
from France and England, as recent as
May 10, from Georgia, June 6. and Vin
cennes, on the Wabash, June 12. The
editor is severe on the failure of the
mails from the East, especially from
Washington to the Capital of Ohio
Chillicothe. When the contractor was
interviewed he explained the repeated
failures by saying: "Post-rider had lost
his horse!" Post-rider taken ill!" And
the editor asks: "Will this be taken as
a sufficient excuse for the failure of a
mail? If -jo. adieu to all regularity and
expedition of conveyance."
A post-rider and a horse in charge of
the mail from Washington to the Capi
tal of Ohio in 1805! What a prodigious
stride from that to the "National Road,"
and to the splendid stage coaches of
Neill, Moore Sr Co.; and from the last
to the hundreds of railway trains that
hourly rush into and out of'Ohio and all
the States and Territories that lie be
tween Marietta, the starting point, and
San Francisco, the stopping point !
And it has not taken long only one
life. Thurlow Weed was a year old
when London received the news of the
Nile victorv of Nelson stale news, two
months old. He was eight when the
Ohio editor was so fierce on the " Post
rider and his horse" carrying the mails
from Washington to Ohio" and the great
journalist is only just dead. The Mail,
the Railwav, th'e Telegraph, the Tele
phone anything more? Purely we are
in the midst of "latter-dav glories."
Joseph F. Tuttle. D. D.."in X. Y. In
dependent. The Late John Brown.
A London letter says: Nothing more
curiously marked the" exceptional char
acter of Brown's position than the title
" Mr." accorded to him in his lifetime
as now in the court record of his death.
He was first a gillie, then a footman,
then personal servant, and it is not usual
in this country to address persons in
that rank of life with quite so much cere
mony. Many worthy people were puz
zled to know why a man who rode in
the dickey and held an umbrella, and
stood behind the Queen's chair at din
ner and passed the plates, should be
thus distinguished. It is enough to an
swer that the Queen so willed it. To
others than the Queen John Brown was
not always an acceptable personage
gave himself airs, said many. In these
days it is enough for a man'to die to be
at one endowed with everv virtue and
charm, and no Enjlish voice is raised to
mar the beautiful harmony of the
panegyrics upon a man whom the Queen
liked. But while he lived it was possi
ble to hear queer stories. There was
one of his holding out his hand to Lord
Beaconstield on the railway platform at
Hughenden, when Her Majesty paid a
visit to her beloved minister? Lord
Beaconsfield. they say, did not seem to
notice the proffered greeting. This lit
tle anecdote rests on the reputed au
thority of a lady who was present.
Here is another, which I know to be
true. A servants' ball was given some
years since at Balmoral, guests and
members of the royal household, as the
custom is on such occasions, taking
part. Among the dances was some sort
of competitive Highland reel, wherein
the object of each performer is to dance
down all the rest; to which end it is
permitted to any one to disconcert and
even totally upset a rival by an adroit
twi.-t of the hip, the elbow "perhaps as
sisting. Now John Brown was a pro
ficient in this sport, and it was his wont
to carry off the palm and outlast all ad
versaries, to the great contentment of
the Queen, who looked on. But t.2re
chaneed upon this occasion to be present
a certain gentleman skillful at this
dancing business, and cunning withal.
He. watching his chance when" all but
himself and the faithful John Brown
had quitted or been driven from the
floor, by a sudden but quite lawful
stratagem, overthrew the Queen's fa
vorite, who fell at her feet, and so was
balked of the distinction of victory on
which he and his Sovereign alike" had
set their hearts. The victor paid dearly
for his triumph. Before this little in
cident he had been in the high favor of
his royal mistress; used tol)e sent for
of an evening to the royal apartment,
where talk and music were to be had,
and enjoyed the marks of the Queen's
esteem. But after he had thus pre
sumed to vanquish her majesty's chosen
personal attendant, this unhappy gen
tleman languished in the outer courts of
the palace, and not for more than two
years afterward was he fully restored to
favor. Other stories of a not less illus
trative character I might also tell, but
perhaps this is as much" as you arelikelv
to care for about the worthy Brown.
Left a snug sum of money behind him,
s,a muse iiKeiy to Know, ana there are
tradespeople "by special appointment
to her majesty" who will regret the
disappearance of her majesty's specially
appointed servant.

The Tonuule Season.
The tornado season has fairly ccm
menced, though not in the section of
country where its most terrible ravages
are usually experienced. Those which
occurred early in the month at Hot
Springs and Ozark. Ark.. were compar
atively harmless, though thirteen lives
' were lost and much property destroyed,
, but the Mississippi and Georgia affair
was on a scale sufficient to entitle it to
be called the inaugural of the season,
and from now until August, or even
, September, we may look for similar
l recurrences in the southwestern part of
j the country. The signal service has in
' vestigatedover six hundred tornadoes
with . the result of the dis
covery that the late spring and summer
r are the periods when they are to be ex
pected, the larger number occurring in
June. This year they have commenced
earlier than usual and at points further
east than usual, for Kansas, Illinois,
Missouri and Town, am the nrincinal
ravaged by tornadoes, but this spring
being an exception not with such dis
, astrous results as attend those which
originate in Texas and the Indian Ter-
ritory, and travel their northeastern
course through the States above men
tioned. Although it is early in the season,
j the recent tornado is one of the most
1 destructive ever known in this country.
As nearly as can be a-certaiued from
the conflicting accounts thus tornado
entered the continent from the Gulf ol
1 Mexico, crossing the Mississippi a short
distance below Natchez without doing
auy special damage in Louisiana: at
' this point it divided, one branch going
i southeast, the main funnel, however,
keeping on its northeastern track, and
inflicting the most terrible losses of life
and property at Wesson and Beaure
gard, in Copiah County. It passed Ab
erdeen, in the northeastern part of the
State, cro -sod Alabama obliquely with
out much damage, and entered Georgia,
in Harris County, crossing th Chatfci
hoochee River, curiously enough, at the
very point where even- storm has en
tered Georgia since 1801. the first vear
in which a tornado was recorded. It is
also curious that it divided on tha
Georgia line. jut as it did on the Mrs
sissippi line, one branch keeping on its
northeastern eour-e. spending itself
in South Carolina. whil the other
veered into Southwest Georgia. It
will be seen, therefore. that it
traversed an immense area of ter
titory. its damage being spread over
live Suites, though the heavy losses are
confined to two. A- compared w th
the damage occasioned by tornadoe- in
1881 and 1SS2. the results are frightftiL
The whole number of lives lost in 1881
was 187. Last year they amounted to
369. By way of comparison a state
ment showing the loss of life o c:v- iotied
by the worst tornadoes of 1882 will be
of interest. 1 April fifty lives were
lost at Brownsville, Mo., and Motiticcl
lo. La.: in May. eighteen at McAllister.
Tex.: in June." 1W at GrinneP. la . and
thirteen in Kansas: and in July, twenty-five
at Coalville. Pa. As we have
said, 369 lives were lost in all la.st year,
anil 1S7 in 1881. The complete reports
of the loss of life occasioned by the re
cent tornado have not yet been sent in,
but it is already known that 1 9- per
sons were killed. As of the 23 injured
many will die. and many counties -wept
by the tornado have not yet been heard
from, it is reasonable to e-timate that
the total loss of life will reach a? Iei-t
250, which is much larger than that oc
casioned by all the storms of I v.1. and
only one-third less than those of is-j.
which was considered an ex.-eptional
tornado year. It will also be ol -erved
that it has inflicted a lo-s of I'fe more
than twice as great as that at Grinnll.
In view of such disasters a these
and the certainty that they will occur
in specified sections of the country at
specified times, it is not creditable to
science that .these terrible phenomena
of Nature are not better understood,
and that some means for the protection
of human life in the tornado area have
not been suggested. Now that science
says it has exploded Scriptural revela
tions and pretends it has made a myth
of an overruling Providence, It would
seem as if it might understand these
natural phenomena and strip them of
some of their destructive power, and
no longer let the wind blow where it
listethr We fear, however, that it will
always remain true that no man can
tell whence it cometh or whither it
goeth. The most the signal service ha
done is to recommend the building
of underground dwellings as places
of refuge, which is not always
practical, and it may be remarked
they do not always constitute places
of refuge. The only man who hxs
made a practical, well-sustained sug
gestion with regard to the origin of the
tornado is Prof. Tice. of st. Louis,
who, notwithstanding his vagaries as a
weather prophet and his unfortunate
place of residence, is a man of scien
tific attainment. His theory is to the
effect that the tornado is a" display of
electrical energy, and that the mani
festations of every tornado, such as
denuding trees of their bark and re
ducing wood to fibres, are electrical in
character, the splintering being oc
casioned by the passage of the electric
current through the sap, which de
composes it into its constituent gases,
expanding with terrific force. Whether
Tice's theory be true or not. the sub
ject deserves more thorough treatment
than it has yet received from the hands
of the savants. Who is the future
philosopher who will bottle the tornado
as Franklin bottled the lightning?

The young lady began to look nerv

" Can it be po-sible that this is one of

Then she looVd up timidly and
asked Mr Harding something about

" Oh, the boats run very regular

he went on reading his brief.
" Do the boas run from Wall street
to Astoria?" continued the young lady.
"I don't know, madame." replied
Mr. H.. petulantly: "I'm not a resi

Mr. Harding again buried himself in
his brief, while the young lady ahemed,
and asked him what the'fare was in tho
New York stages.
"Why, ten cents, madame ten
cents.""
"But I gave you fifty cents to give to
the driver," interrupted the voun" ladv.
"and-" "
" Didn't he return your change? Is
it possible? Here, driver!" the lawyer
continued, dropping the brief and pull

" I did give her

in his vest pocket, from which his
fingers brought out four ten-cent pieces,
