CAST, j “Aro you not well ?"
With what tender conoom was the
Squoation naked I
f “Very well.”
Ho might bo in body, bnt. not in mind;
(hat wns plain, for his voico was far from
being ohoerful.
She playod and sang liis favorite pieces,
thing- hoping to restore, by the charm of music,
brightness to liis spirit. But sho was
conscious of only partial success. There
was still a gravity in liis manner never
perceived before. At tca-timo sho
smiled upon him so sweetly across tho
table, and tnlkcdto him on suoli attract
ive themes, that tho right expression re
turned to his countenance, and ho looked
•is happy ns she could desiro,
From tho tea-table they returned to
tbeir pleasant parlor. And now tho time
had como for offering her gift and re
ceiving iho coveted reward of gliul sur
prise, followed by sweet kisses and loving
words. Wns she selfish ? Did Hho think
moro of iier reward than of the pleasure
she would bestow? But that is ques
tioning too closely.
“I will bo back in a moment,” elio
said, and, passing from tlio room, she
went lightly up tho stnirs. Both tone and
maimer betrayed lior secret, or rather tho
possession of a secret, with which her
husband was to bo surprisoil. Scarcely
had her loving face faded from before
his eyes when thought returned, witli
of beauty,” and was conscious of a new
born power. Arch, wall, buttress, gate
way, drawbridge, lofty tower, and battle
ment were all the work of his hands.
He was in wondor at his own skill in
thus creating from an unseemly pile o;
blocks a structure of such rare design.
Silently he stood and gazed upon liis
ensile with something of tho prido of a*
architect, who sees, after months or yearn
of skillfully applied labor, some grand
conception in his art embodied in im
perishable stone. Then ho moved
around, viewing it on every side. It did
not seem to him a toy, reaching only n
few inches in height and covering but e
square foot of ground, but a real ensliu
lifting itself hundreds of feet upward to
ward the blue sky and spreading wide
upon the earth its ample foundations.
As tho idea grew more and more perfect,
his strange pleasure increased. Now he
stood with folded arms, wrapped in the
overmastering illusions—now walked
slowly around, viewing tho structure on
all sides and noting every m.nuti pr Vt>.J single bound, to an unpleasant event
far—and n?w sat tywn and brut o, ,J, a t* ,]* yi the wntersof his spirit wi
with the fondness of a mother bendj.-.iy
over her child. Again he arose, pile
posing to attain another and more dis
tant view of his work. But his foot
struck against one of the buttresses and
instantly, with a crash, wall, tower, and
nttlemont fell in hopeless ruin.
In the room with the boy sat liis
father, reading. Tho crash disturbed
him and ho uttered a sharp, angry ro-
uke, glancing, for a moment, toward
the startled child, and then returning hie
yes to tho attractive page beforo him,
unconscious of tho shadow lie hod cast
upon the heart of liis child. Tears came
into those fair blue orbs, dancing in
light a moment before. From the
frowning face of his father to which liis
glance was suddenly turned, the child
looked back to the shapeless ruins of
his castle. Is it any wonder that he
bowed his face in silence upon them and
wet them with liis tears ?
For more than five minutes ho sat as
still as if sleeping, then, in a mournful
kind of way, yet almost noiselessly, lie
ommenced restoring to the box from
which he had taken them the many
shaped pieces that, fitly joined together,
had grown into a noble building. After
the box was filled ho replaced the cover
and laid it carefully upon a shelf in tho
closet.
Poor child I That shadow was a deep
one, and long in passing away. His
mother found him, half an hour after
ward, asleep on the floor, with cheeks
flushed to an unusual brightness. Sim
knew nothing of that troubled passage
in liis young life; and the father luul
forgotten, in the attractions of the book
he read, the momentary annoyance ex
pressed in words and tones, with a power
in them to shadow the heart of his child.

broidored slippers,”
Almost by force, ho led her baok to
the parlor and placed her on the music
stool. Ho sclented a favorite piece and
laid it before nor. mu tears were in
her eves, and alio could not see a note.
Over tho keys her fingers passed in
skillful touches, but when she tried t<
take up tho soug utterance failed, and
sobs broke forth instead of words.
How foolish 1" said tho husband, in
vexed tone. “I’m surprised at you!”
And ho turned from the piano and
walked across tho room.
A little while tho sad young wife re
mained whore she wns left thus alone,
and in partial anger. Then, rising, sin-
went slowly from the room—her bus
band not seeking to restrain her—and
going baok to her clinmlier, sat down in
darkness.
The shadow which had liecu cast
upon her spirit was very deep, and,
though the hidilon sun came out again
right early, it was a long timo lieforo his
beams had power to scatter tho clouds
that floated in love’s horizon.

on some hearts that are pining for the
sunlight of our faces? We have given
yon two pictures of life, true pictures,
not as a mirror, but ns a kaleidoscope.
In all their infinitely varied relations,
men and women, selfishly or thought-
lesaly—from design, weakness, or ignor
ance—are casting their shadows upon
hearts that aro pining for sunlight. A
word, a look, a tone, an act will cast a
shadow and sadden a spirit for hours and
days. Speak kindly, not kindly, bo for-
gotters of self and rogarders of others,
and you will cast but few shadows along
tho path of life. The truo gentleman is
always tender of tho feelings of others—
always watchful, lest ho wound unin
tentiouftlly—always thinking, when witli
others, of their pleasure instead of hit
own. He costs but few shadows. Bi

A young wife had busied berself for
many days in preparing a pleasant sur
prise for her husband. The work was
finished at last; and now she awaited his
return, with a heart full of warm emo
tions. A dressing-gown and a pair of
elegantly embroidered slippers, wrought
bv her own skillful fingers, were the
gifts with which she meant to delight
him. What a troop of pleasant fancies
was in her heart 1 How, almost impa
tiently, did she wait for the coming twi
light, which was to be dawn, not ap
proaching darkness, to her.
At last she heard the step of her hus
band in tho passage, and her pulses
leaped with fluttering delight. Like a
bird upon the wing, she almost flew
down to meet him, impatient for the kiss
that awaited her.

were
again troubled. He had actually arisen
and crossed tho floor onoo or twice
moved by a restless concern, when liis
wife camo back with tho dressing-gown
and slippers, Bhe was trying to fore
her countenance into a grave expression
to hold back the smiles that were con
tinually striving to break in truant cir
cles around her lips, when a Bingle
glance at her husband's face told lie
that the spirit, driven away by the exor
cism of her lovo, hod returned again to
his bosom. He looked nt her soberly
as she came forward.
What are these?” he asked, almost
coldly, repressing surprise and affecting
an ignorance in regard to the beautiful
present sho hold in her hunds that Ik
did not feel.
'They are for you, dear. I mailo
them.”
‘For mo I Nonsense I What do I
wont, with such jimerackory? This is a
woman’s wear. Do you think I would
disfigure my feet with embroidered slip
pers, or dress up in a calico gown ? Put
them away, dear. Your husband is too
much of a man to robe himself in gay
colors like a clown or an actor.” And
ho waved his hand with an air of con
tempt. Thero was a cold, sneering man
ner about him, partly affected and partly
real—the real born of his uncomfortable
state of mind. Yet ho loved his sweet
wife, and would uot; of set purpose, have
wounded her for tho world.
This unexpected repulse—this cruel
reception of her present, over which slu-
hail wrought patiently, in golden hope,
for many days- this dashing to the earth
of her brimful cup of joy, just us it
touched her lips, was more than tho fond
young wife could bear. To hide the
tears that camo rushing to her eyes she
turned, away from her husband, and to
conceal tho sobs sho had no power to
repress, she went almost hurriedly from
the room; and, going back to the cham
ber from whence she had brought tin-
present, she laid it away out of sight in
a closet. Then, covering her face with
her hands, she sat down and strove with
htrself to be calm. But the shadow was
too deep—the heartache too heavy.
In a little while her husband followed
her, and discovering, something to hi.-
surprise, that she was weeping, said, in
a slightly reproving voice:
“Why bless me ! not in tears 1 Wind

ThAv never was a time when the peo
ple of the country wero more thoroughly
frightened and nervous than they are at
tho present timo over cyclones. The
frequent appear an oo of tho donble-and-
twisted hurricanes, which rip tho steeple
off a church and stick it through an ad
joining saloon, as a woman would ran a
hair pin through a wig, has made the
bravest men turn pale, when a block
cioud comes up, and they crawl under a
house. Men who have braved the dan
gers of a battle field, and stood unmoved
lieforo artillery that was hailing hot
shot, will hunt their lioloa when heaven's
artillery begins to flro on the skirmish
line and when thunder and lightning and
wind get in their work, the brat* man
who led armies to battles, will stnff cot
ton in hi* ears and say his “now I lay
mo. ” There is something about a storm
that takes the kink out of the liest of
'em, and when chimneys begin to fall,
and tin roofs rip off and tie themselves
up in double how knot*, and go about
tho street locked arms with brewery
cupolas and factory smoko stacks,
knocking people gully-west, like cow
boys on a tear, it is not strange that
brave men should crawl undor a bars.
There aro not ns many ]>or*ons killed by
oyolones as there aro by indigestion, or
whisky, and yet tho cyclone is feared
moro than whisky or any other calamity.
People wlio read papers and dwell over
tho aoeouuts of the destruction wrought
by the wind aro nervous, but those liv
ing in tho vicinity of whore the eyelone
lias once got in its work become wild at
the approach of tho least disturbance in
tho elements. At Racino, where a tor
nado struck not long since, it is unsafe
for an orator to get on a stump to speak,
for nt the slightest disturbance of the
atmosphere tho citizens go and lay flat
A Dying Pioneer. upon the ground, and say over Sunday
school lessons. If tornadoes Were ran
by time cards, like railroads, sJ ’people
could form somo idea of whon they woald
lie due nt a given station, it would be
different, but they Bocm to run wild, and
drop down in the most unexpected
places. A tornado is like a surprise
party tlint is given to a minister. It
como* in the guise of a welcome rain, as
the surprise party comes in the gnise of
friendship, and the recipients of heavenly
bounty expect to see the growing grain
laugh through tears, and shoot np and
come to a bountiful harvest, but in snoh
a moment as ye think not the gentle
rain gets n hot box, and tears the grain
from tho ground and lodges it in an ad
joining pioeo of woods, or carries it
away and scatters it over half the State,
as tho surpriso party does the pickles
and cold tongue and cake of the poor
minister who looked for better things.
The most peaceful and quiet and God
fearing community is liable to be visited
by destruction without a minute’s warn
ing, as was tho little city of Fort Atkin
son on Monday, and citizens who one
moment look at each other with smiling
faces, tho next moment are pale with
fear and anxiety, and get in the sewer
real quick. There is no rule that oan be
Hftfely followed in case of a cyclone, un
less it is to crawl into a gopher hole.
Every family should have a gopher hole
handy, big enough for six, and when the
clouds got coming together from fonr
different directions, and seem to be
having a consultation as to what locality
to wipe out, go for the gopher hole
and wait for tho neighbors to drown
you out after the storm is over. The
cyclone has more terrors to-day than
any other one thing, unless it is polities.

• A letter ifrom-St. Paul, Minn., says:
Gen. H. H. Sibley, tho hero of tho Sioux
outbreak iu 1802, has passod a most ro
mantic life. At twenty-throe ho was
taken iu as purl nor iu tho American Fur
Company, and stationed at Mendota, in
this State, ns agent for tho company.
That point was tho only settlement on
the frontier. Thero, in a large stone
liouse, ho lived iu true baroncal stylo.
He entertained tlioro Captain Marryatt,
Colonel Fremont, Fealhcrstouehaugh,
the traveler, and other distinguished
wanderers in this ultima thule of tho
northwest. Ho was sent us tho first del
egate to Congress from tho Territory of
Minnesota, defeating II. M. Ilioe, who af
terward was one of tho first Senators in
Congress from this State. While the
enabling act fur this Stato was before
the liouse Committee on Territories, as
a compliment to Sibley his homo (Mon-
dotu) was named as tho capital, but ho
firmly declined tho honor, and insisted
on St I’aul its tho seat of tho State gov
ernment. Had Momlota been selected,
it would have made Gou. Sibley a mil
lionaire. His prido in liis good name
has kept him out of uumorous chances
to make money by shrewd enchance
ment of real estate by legislation. Hu
was the first Governor of tho Stato, and
signed, under compulsion of tho Supremo
Court, tho $7,000,000 of thrice-repu
diated railroad bonds which a year ago
wero redeemed at fifty cents on tho dol
lar. His management of the Sioux war
was severely criticised for its delays and
apparent disregard for the suffering cap
tives, but at the end it was shown that
hi* knowledge of Indian character and
sagacious modern warfare was the means
of saving hundreds of lives and of re
leasing every captive safe and sound.
When the war was over ho hanged forty-
three warriors at Mankato, and Bottled
tlie Sioux troubles permanently. They
have lived peacefully on their reserve
dims in Dakota ever sinco. General
Sibley’s achievements at that time were
looked upon much as General Crook’s
now are in Now Mexico. He has been
.in invalid for years, and his closely
muffled form, straight as an arrow, is a
familar one. Hm hauteur and crystal
ourity of character have kept him apart
from the masses, but few men are more
videly loved than he. His death would
felt as that of no other pioneer now
iving would be.
