said

"You will have A !>eautiful dny, mydear," said Mrs. Hope, a« »Ue looked ad-miringly flnit at her son Dick, who wandriving up to the door in his new buggy,then at her dftughtor-in-law, Mary Hope,whose honey-moon was ftt its full.

4Tm no glad !" «aid the young >vlfo."What lovely weather we have had eversince I came here ! not at all like whatHome of my friends predicted when theywild we ought to m»end our honey-moonin (he East.

Dick HojM' at thnt moment sprang'outof his buggy lightly, nnd gnlluntly ex-tended a hand to his wife.

"Nonsense !*'exclaimed Mnry Hope. "Iam not sneh a helpless creature thatcan't ovt in myself;" and she steppedlightly into the buggy with a merrylaugh.

Mrs. Hope., the elder, gave an approv-ing nod :

"It's just as well to let Dick know youcan help yourself. These Western men—"

**Nood managing like other men," in-terrupted «hcr daughter-in-law with an-other laugh.

Old Mr. Hope coming down from thestables at that moment, eyed the horse,buggy and harness (Dick had cx}>endedseven hundred dollars on that turn-out),then stood patting the horses neck kind-ly. He was an admirer of fine horses,and his judgment was sought far andwide on all ]K>ints of horse flesh : "There'sa fine mettle here Dick.'*

"I know ir,M said Dick proudly."Cheap at four hundred," said Mr.

Hope. "Have you tried her yet ?""I think she's good for two twenty-

one without much of an*effort.""Why, is not thai a fust horse Dick ?"

asked his wife whose curiosity was arous-ed. '

"Just middling," answered her hus-band.

We have them out here faster thanthat.

"It ** fast," answered his fitther. "Weto think it im|M>ssihlc, but we have

got so far now there is no telling what'sin a horse. I like this mare verymuch. If it was anybody else's I'd—"

"Come now, what would you givefather ?" said Dick banteringly.

"It's all in the family, so I am saved auiuflred dollars at least."

"A hundred more wouldn't buy her,rnthcr. Just say to anybody that covetsny new mare I won't take a cent lesshan seven hundred dollars. Why:<>rs like tltf wind."

"That reminds me Dick; y.ou'dake the road around by Drake's."

"And lose a good half hour,"bick.

"That's a long way round, father,"said the eldeV Mrs. IIo}>e.

"You take my advice," said her hns->and. "I mean coining buck. It doesn't•natter going. If it should blow youwill find it safest."

Dick, who was adjusting a strap, look-ed off east and west, smiled in a satisfiedway, and observed, "I don't nee anysigns of a storm."

"Nor I," said his father; "but no oneknows anything about the wind here. Iwill never forget the sweep I got nbodtwenty years ago coming over Pringle's

Flat.""That is where we are going, isn't it,

Dick ?" Mrs. Dic:k Hope looked theeast trifle anxious as she turned to heruisband. "Was it so bad, Mr. llopo ?"

uliad 1 Bad's no name for it. Why,t blew my wagons as far as from here to

the barn, blew tho horses off their feet,ore up trees and lodged me against aock that saved my life."

"That must have been terrible," saidMory Hope.

"Don't lot him frighten you," saidDick smilingly; "lighting never strikeswice in the snmc place. I'm nil right,foil see." The. only time when I was>lown away was when t went East for

you. Are we nil ready now ! Banket inmother ?"

Mrs. Hope nodded gayly, Dick liftedthe reins lightly, and away the new bug-gy with its happy occupants sped overthe prairie.

It was early morning. The fingers oflawn stretched upward, dissolving intoihudowy m'iMt that hung over the prairiennd the thin line of woodland that layaway off to the west like n fringe on aleatly cut gnrmont.

Tho yountf wife inhaled the perfumes»xluded from the flowers, filling the at-mosphere with rich odors. There were•ines upon lines of variegated ttnts abovethe horizon. Btich a sunrise Mary Ho|>ohad never looked upon except among thomountains. There were tints of crimson,amber and gold; and above all whitepillars rolled majestically—palaces moremagnificent and stately than any thnt thelumnn miud could conceive.

"How grand I" she said as Dick look-ed smilingly at her.

The mind of man cannot measureall its beauties,11 said Dick, as he light-d a cigar and settled himself down for

some "solid enjoyment."As tho rod and golden glories stretch-

ed abovo the, horizon, a light breeze•prang up, fanning Mary Hope's cheeks,aressing her hair lightly, and sighinghrough the thin selvage of trees which

Dick's father had planted before his KOUwas born. Tho god of day wheeled his•hariot aloft, radiating, as only the Sum-mer sun can, the rarest tints of amber,and crimson and gold, until the purpleglories, rolling aloft like great billows,gradually arched themselves into the sem-blance of a gateway; through which,Mary Hope caught, in fancy, glim pees ofthe celestial city. • 8be did not speak,but sat perfectly quiet, drinking in the»eauties of tho most l>eautiful morningDick Hope had ever witnessed in theWest.

"There is Pringle's Flat," said Ijick,suddenly (minting ahead.

"Surely we have not come seven miles,Tick ?"

"Scarcely. How far is that nhend ?"•(Is it a mile, Dick /"Dick laughed loudly : "It is nenrer

bur."

"I don't understand it.""That's what the smart hunters from

tho East say when they shoot and misatheir game. It is the atmosphere, Mary."

"It Is a small place," said hii wife, asshojookod forward to Pringle'i Flat, ly-ing a little below them. Beyond it therewas a ribbon of molton gold, made by thesun's slanting rays falling upon the river."And that is the river."

"We'll,be there in twenty mtnutea,'said Dick Hope, "when I want to intro-duce you to some of the nicest people inthis end of the State."

The people Dick referred tof receive^tho young couple in a manner that madeMary Hope's cheeks glow with gratifica-tion. Her husband was a man universal-ly admired—as fine a specimen of hiskind as was ever produced west of Prin-glo'a Flat.

The bride, during the two hours theyremained in the town, created quiteripplo of talk. There was somethingabout Diok and his wife that made peo-ple turn to look at them. When theydrove away a score of friends waved goodwishes and tossed kisses after them.

"Now for Dan's Hock," said Dick, ashe gave his marc the rein and castbackward glance at Pringle's Flat. "Pret-ty,-isnH it T . "

"Pretty 1" said his wife. "Why,Dick, it's lovely t Sec the light on thechurch windows; it looks as though itwas really on fire. The houses are softretty, too, the streets so wide, and thereis such an air of peace and comfort aboutit ! Why, it is like a town that hasgrown up in a night, it is so wonderfullyclean and noat—just what a painterwould make if ho wore painting towns toplease people."

"I'm glad you like it.' That remindsme ; do you see that house above thechurch, to the loft ?"

"It looks charming—the prettioftliouge there."

"Glad you like it.""Why, Dick f"It's yours. I bought it before I went

East for you. We'll look inside of itwhen we return, if wo have time."

That was Dick Hope's way.The drive to Dan's Rock occupied an

hour. "NtfW for a trial of your strength,"said Dick, as he tied his horse to a treeat the base of tho great rock and assistedus wife to the ground where they were

to lunch."Must I climb up there, Dick f" said

VIrs. Hope.That's the programme, what we came

out for to-day. You've heard so much ofthe view from Dan's Rock that you wantto see it for yourself. Do you know youremind me now of Parthenia fetchingwater from the spring."

"Pnrthcnia tamed her husband, didn'tshe, Dick ? I'm glad your mother savedme the trouble.'1

That was a lunch Mary Hope often re-memliercd in after years. Dick persistedin forcing all kinds of dainties upon her,"Irish fashion," as she said afterward. Itwas the first timo she had ever had himto herself in the glad day, with no curi-ous eyes to peer on them, and she sub-jected her lord and master in her turn, tosuch straits that he gladly cried quits ashe put his hair out of his eyes and view-ed his tormentor.

Then they slowly mounted the massiveheap called Dan's Rock. Such a view IA sweep of forty miles in one direction,east, and almost as grand a view to thewest.

Dick sat down and handed his wifetho glasses as he lighted a fresh cigar;'do you see that hill away qff to tho left

there ?""Hasn't it a curious shape ?"4 That's where the wind comes from.

They manufacture it up there.""What do you mean, Dick t""There's a valley back there that ex-

ends full forty miles northwest, whereyou come to prairie land like ours backof Pringle's Flat, only there IB ten milesmore of it. The wind rolls down thevalley lind plays the very deuce withlungs on the river about the Point.

Sometimes it rains, and then you'd thinkthe heavens were emptying; all the wa-ter in the valley sweeps down below usicre, fills the valley where it narrowsthere like the neck of a.bottle, and then—look out for trouble. I saw it once;that is all I want to sec."

"Isit so awful, Dick?""It is really awful, Mary.""And now it looks like—like the plains

of Egypt. I can't conceive of anythingdisturbing the perfect peace of this beau-iful scene. See that cloud away offhere, Dick ?"

"About the sixc of a man's hand f Isee H."

"It's only a speck in the sky,? said hiswife.

"It's not like our sky, then,*'said Dick,as he kissed her, standing on the top ofDan's Rock. "Do you know it is timewo were moving now f1

"We have only been here a littlowhile." v

"It's three hours since we stopped atthe foot of Dan's Bock."

"My goodness, Dick t""That's what I am always spying to

myself when I think that you took mebefore all the other fellows."

"It can't be.""Look for yourself," said Dick, hold-

ing out his watch."It's the grandest day of my life, Dick.

I wouldn't have missed it for anything."He gavo her his hand and helped her

down tho rough places. Once in a whileMary wojiild stop to gather bits of mossand ftotfers ns mementoes of a red letterday. At least an honr was* consumed inthe descent. Then they got into the bug-gy and turned homeward, but not on theroad loading past Drake's.

"We want to see all that can be seen,don't we ?" said Dick.

"By all means," answered his wife, asshe tied her hat loosely and prepared toenjoy the drivo home. "But didn't yourfather tell you to go home by Drake's ?"

"The other is the better road.""You know best, Dick.'*"Dick's mare went at a slapping pace.

"She smells oats," said Dick.

"Look at Pringfc's Flat, Dick." -"Pretty, isn't it tw

"There's not a leaf stirring, one wouldthink. ' It looks to restful over there I Itmight be a deserted village."

"It does look unusually quiet, n o w

notice it. But then this sun is terrible.See if you can find our house over there,Mary."

There was a long silence, then theyoung wife gleefully pointed out thehouse, and there was another long silence,which was broken by Mrs. Hope sayingsuddenly, "What Is that curious sound Ihear?"

"I hear nothiog.""There I Do you hear it now ?"Dick inclined an ear. They wero fair-

ly clear of the rough land at tho base ofDan's Rock, now, and tho marc was trot-ting rapidly. Suddenly her driver's firmhand brought her Upon her haunches.Dick listened intently. "*His wife wasright; her ears were keener than his.Thore wa$ something in the air.

At that moment Mary's hand clutchedhis arm convulsively, as she cried tmt :

"Oh, Dick, what is that back of us ?"She was looking back with horror-strick-en eyes and palo lips.

Dick turned. A cloud like a blackwall was rushing down on them. It seem-ed to Dick Hope's eyes as black as night.An awful fear possessed him. There wasa hush, a stillness in the air as chilling asthe terrible cloud ^ehind them. ~" "Golong I" he exclaimed desperateiy, cuttingthe animal fiercely with his whip.

The mare shot out like an arrow, andat that moment another sound smote theirears—a sound that was like the crash ofworld's. The mare plunged, reared, thenresumed her onward course. Her ownerhad lost all control over her.

But one thought animated Dick Hopeas he clasped his wife with his right arm,while he held fast to the linos with hisleft hand, shutting his teeth like a vice.That thought was, "Pray God thai wereach tho river-bottom I"

Tho earth groaned under their feet. Asound like the rush, and roar and screamof a million locomotives deafened them.Dick Hope instinctively $urned and clasp-ed his young wife in his arms. He didnot sec the marc; he saw nothing but hiswife's face, and something in it struckterror to his heart.

His own was ashy grey at that mo-ment as his young wife*s when she turn-ed her last appealing look upon him andmoved her lips. His one prayer was thatthey mif "nt die together. It seemed tothem th tn that all the sound in the airand earth was condensed, gathered intoone awful shriek. Earth and sky wereobliterated. Dick Hope felt himself lift-d up and Hung like a snowflake through

the air."When he recovered his senses ho was

lying where he had prayed to be—in theriver-bottom, with his wife close l>esidelim. The awful storm did not divide

them.The tornado, like a raging beast, had

simply taken them up in its teeth, so tospeak, tossed them aside, and pursuedits path. Whore thejj were lying thowater was so shoal that it scarcely cover-ed them.

Dick sat up and spoke to his wife, shedid not answer. Then he put up onohand involuntarily, in a weak, helplessway. There was blood on his face; hecould not see; his eyes were full of sand.'He struck himself in dispnir, and againgrasping his wife, said in a hoarse voice,"You are not dead, Mary ?"

Whether it was the water from the riv-er he dashed into his face or tho gush oftears that came into his eyes, Dick doesnot know to this day, but suddenly hiseyes became clear, and he could sec hiswife lying with her face next him andthe water washing her long hair over herbreast. He lifted her up. Ho felt herhands, her checks. Then suddenly hesummoned all his remaining strength forono supreme effort, and dragged ratherthan carried her up to the dry, shelvingbench under the bluff. Mary Hope slow-y opened her eyes and looked at her hus-

band. Thenwhe put her hands slowlyup to her face and covered it.

Dick saw the tears coursing down hercheeks.. "Don't \~don% Mary !" hc^aid.

"I can't help it. I'm not crying withpain or grief; it's because you are living,because we are both spared."

Dick's strength returned to him. Hostood up and looked about him. Untilhat moment he did not know that lie

was coatlessj without vest or shirt; howas naked. He pressed his eyes wtyh hishand and looked down on himself as oneawakening from a dream. He looked athis wife, still sitting with her face cover-ed with her hands :

"Mary, we are almost naked. There isnothing on mo, and your dress is in rib-bons."

He looked up and down the river in ahelpless way, still pressing a hand to hisheart.

"I don't sec—any signs of—the buggyor horse.'* Then he cast his glance fittho bluff back of them. Come, lot us goup on the bank."

He had to carry her."It is the horrible fright, dear Dick.

I'll soon get over it," she said, when hoset her down gently on the level ground.

"Mary, look over there. Do you seeanything ? My eyes are so full of sand,so sore, that I can't make it out quite.Everything looks blurred."

She did not answer him. It was not>ecausc her eyes were not clear. As sheooked wondcringly, her hand, that had

never relinquished Ucr husband's fromtho moment he seated her on the prairie,latped his convulsively. Then, she ut-

tered a loud cry."I—expected as much," said Dick,

speaking more to himself than to hiswife. VNothing—-nothing man evermade CQuld stand before that storm."

"6h, Dick," she exclaimed sobbingly,'there is nothing left of the town—not a

house. I can only see a heap here andthere—something like fallen chimneys,and smoke and fire."

'That is the end of Pringle's Flat,

He looked bsjck over the prairie—backto the fringe of/trees that skirted a por-tion of the road near the base of Dan'sRock but a little while since. He couldnot recognize the place he had looked ona hundred times. The trees had disap-peared; they had been swept from the/ace of the earth. Then he shaded hiseyes with his hand and looked acrossto where Pringle's Flat had stood in allthe pride of a new Western town. DickHope suddenly knelt by his wife's side,still holding her hand, saying, "Let uspray."

Among all those who witnessed theawe inspiring tornado that swept Prin-glc's Flnt, until not one stone stood uponanother, killing and maiming all livingcreatures in its path, none have such vi-vid recollections as Dick Hope and hjswife. When they refer to the experienc-es on that terrible day, they speak in alow tone, reverently, as though standingin the presence of the dead.

Valuable Shutter*,

IW the later years of his life Beethovenwas very obstinate. Once he decided tostay awhile HI Baden. He had token itinto his head to pitch his tent at a tin-man's near the Eagle Hotel. Unfortun-ately the honest tradesman-had receivedhim tho year before, and did not care a-bout again having so troublesome a lod-ger. The more intractable, however, thetinman was, the more obstinately didBeethoven insist on resuming possessionof his old quarters." By dint Of diplo-macy Schindlcr managed to negotiate thematter. The tinman consented to opendoor once more to musican, but on con-dition, and this was imperative, that thecomposer should, nt lib own cost, haveshutters fixed to the windows of hisrooms. Beethoven readily complied withthis requirement without troubling hishead to ask for an explanation of it.Schindler, more than curious, intorcga-ted the landlord on several occasions, andat length obtaind thcjkoy of the mystery.Beethoven had tho innocent mania «/running the point of his pencil overevery-thing which happened to come underlis hand. Occupying, in 1822, thelodg-ng where wc^have seen him just install-ed, he covered the shutters of his win-dows with hieroglyphics. After hisdeparture, an Englishman, living oppo-site," who had remarked this trick of theompositor's came over to the tinman and

offered to purchase for good hard cashthese autographs of a new kind. Herewas a -source of profit which the worthyradesman resolved on tmrning to ac-count; hence his pertinacity.—Schind-

A good story is told by one of theSouthern D. D.'s. He was pastor of the

The organistwas a German, who, though a fine per-former, was not remarkable for greatpresence of mind, and was easily discon-certed. The hour for afternoon servicehad arrived, and though the organist wasin his place, the choir had not arrived.By some mishap, also, the key of the or-gan had been misplaced. Tho minister,not knowing these facts, slowly and sol-emnly arose, and after . announcing ahymn and reading it through, took hisseat. There was no responce from theorgan choir. Silence reigned supreme.Time passed on. The minister and ,,con-gregation were becoming uneasy. Alleyes were turned to the organ loft. Atlength the organist, with a>fidgety man-ner and face as red as a beet, came tothe railing in front of the loft, and in atone evidently intended as a whisper, butwhich was distinctly heard by all, madethe following startling announcement;"Mister breacher, mister breecher, vevon't have no singing dis afternoon.

Interior of the Dutch Home.

At 8 o'clock the suppaan bell wasrung, a signal that work was over for theday. And here just a brief glance at thointerior of the Dutch home. The kitch-en fireplaces were enormous—largeenongh to roast a whole sheep or hog;and ovor the crackling liickory logs,* sus-pended on hooks and trammels, bubbledand hissed the large iron pots and kettels.Here the family gathered, while by thelight of the glowing fire and tallow-dipjufvrouws spun their linen and the bur-ghers smoked thier pipes. * In the parlor,that reverenced apartment-of state, wasa similar large fireplace, with its hickoryback-log, and its shovel and tongs keep-ing guard over the andirons (or fircdogs)and fender. The chimney jambs wereinlaid with parti-colored tiles of Script-ural designs brought from Holland, andwere extremely quaint. Tho round toatable stood in the parlor, the large squaredining-table in the kitchen, or family liv-ing-room. In one corner stood the oldDutch clock—no doubt the grandfather's—telling the year, month, day and hour,the rising and setting of the moon, andwhen each hour struck sending forth insilvery tones some antique air.

In still another corner stood the Hol-land cupboard, with its glass -doors, dis-playing the family plate and china. Therewas the mamive tankard, the richly-en-graved punch-bowl, the shell-shaped sug-ar-bowl, with provisions for the "biteand stir" and the ooma or sifter for cinna-mon and sugar. On the top stood a de-canter of largo size, always filled with rumand beside it a piece of a cow's horn,smooth on each end and, hollow, tippedwith silver. And every morning beforebreakfast Mynheer must "take a horn "as an appetizer, hence the origin of theterm. In another corner stood the hugeoaken, iron bound chest, brimful of finelinen, of home production. Later, thisgave place to the "chest of drawers,"with its brass rings and keyholes. Onthe wall hung the pipe case of mahogany,with the drawer underneath for tobbacco.Every house of pretension had its cockloft in the steep roof for house slave*. In

e middle of the hall was the "hoist-door," through which the wheat washoisted up by a crane and stored in theloft. Over the front door was a shelf,with steps leading up to it. Here wasplaced a large tobacco box, always keptfillec^ and for every one to help himself.On the. parlor walls hung the dim por-traits of relatives in the Vaterlandt, and

ye sconce, ahanging candlestick, with amirror to reflect ye rays."

Chintz calico formed the curtains,which were put up without cornices.The windows were of very small panes ofglass, set in lead frames. The floors weresanded with fanciful^ftgures made in thesand with a broorn handle. The bestchairs were straight, high backed, cover-ed with bait eloth, and ornamented withdouble and triple rows of brass 'nails.

About 1700 the clawfoot sideboards,sofas-and tables were generally used. Thehigh post bedstead had its heavy curtainsand valance of camlet, and on it a bed oflive goose leathers, with alignter one forcovering. The patch quilt was a most

manrelou* affair. Over each door wasusually a stone with the date of erectionand for initials of the builder. In latertimes name and date were built in anywhere, and the general style of architect-ure was altered.

FOOD PROSPECTS IN ENGLAND,

(Regular Correspondence.)LONDON, England, April 26th, 1881.—With a milder temperature, gome slight

rainfall, and several days of bright sun-shine, the wheats have regained a healthycolor and have made decided progress.The harrowing and rolling, which thebulk of the wheat acreage has now re-ceived, has been of material assistance tothe young plant, and it needs now but agenial rainfall to put the wheats into vig-orous growth. The lateness of the sea-son lias not, as yet, afforded any condi-tion which, by itself, can be taken asmilitating against harvest prospects. Thecondition of the wheat crop—where thereis a plant, of course—is very satisfactory,notwithstanding its exceptional back-wardness, and providing we have an orrdinary rainfall in April and May, the ad-vent of a hot, dry and forcing summer,•Jiould it occur, would not be against fa-vorable results. In the case of springcorn, however, the possibility of sucha contingency must now be a source ofanxiety. Arrears of spring sowings arebeing fast over taken, but the ground istoo dry on the top to make first-rate seedbeds. The grain markets, during thepast week, have been quite of a holidaycharacter, and very little business hasbeen done anywhere. There has boon noactual difference in the tome of the tradebetween London and the country mar-kets, but in the latter case, supplies havebeen in many cases so exceedingly shsrt,that prices have been maintained whereotherwise they must have declined. InLondon and other large port markets,this influence has been counteracted bythe extraneous supply and at thepresent time London and Liverpool arecheaper than most inland markets.Mark-lane on Monday, 6d, to Is. perquarter reduction was submitted to onEnglish wheats, except for the very bestqualities, and on Wednesday the irate*were nominally the satmc as on Monday,but~the very small amount of Imsinesstransacted was scarcely sufficient to testvalues. English flour remains unchang-ed in value, but the retail trade is in avery languid condition. Barley contin-ues very quiet and values arc <juotaWyunchanged. There is no change to notein the malt trade. Supplies are comingforward freely, and all inferior qualitiesare very difficult to sell. Oats rule steadyfor good, heavy samples, all others beingin buyer's favor. Beans and peas, slowand unchanged. The quantity ofwiieaton passage now Htands at 2,502,500 grs.and flour equal to 181,000 grs. of wheat,an increase on the previous week's fig-ures equivalent to 85,000 grs. of wheat.California stands credited wifo 1,300,000gm. of wheat; Australasia, 348,000; the

anlic ports of the United States with267,000; Chili with 124,000; India andEgypt with 111,000; Russia with71,500;and Djuutbian provinces with 31,000 todirect ports and ports of call. Foreignflour meets* slow, consumptive demand,but sales are <tedious at prices which \nnearly all cases favor buyers. In fact,all foreign breads tuff 8 are cheaper to buy.The off-coast market is now becomingtolerably well supplied with maize, thetrade for which is yery quiet in all posi-tions.

Th* Remarriage of Widowers.

In some remarkable statistics of thepopulation of Paris just published by thewell known statistician, Dr. Bertillon,attention is drawn to the very large pro-portion of Parisian widowers who mar-ry again. ID 1879, out of every 1,000widowers tJ2 and a fraction marriedagain, 21 of the bereaved ones seekingsolace for .their sorrows in union withwidows. Now, of every 1,000 bache-lors only 57 and a fraction marry and ofthese only 3 1-10 marry widows. How isthe fact to be explained ? Is it that thosewho have once married* have therebyshown a predilection for the marriedstate in general, as well as for a specialobject in particular, which naturally in-clines them to do their best to make goodtheir loss ? It must be remembered, too,that the bachelors include a certain num-ber of invalids, lunatics and others, whoare not likely to have a chance of marry-ing. But the fact is certainly curious,and that it corresponds to some generallaw of human nature seems to be shownby the statistics of other countries,though the proportion pf remarried wid-owers is higher in France than it is else-where.
