“BILL ARP" PICTURES A HAPPY HOME.
’ ik
A prosperous farmer is to be en
’ vied. The other day my wife and
’ [ were invited out to our triend
Billy Hood's to eat grapes and
‘melons, and we went. He lives
.t the foot of tlie mountain, two
' iles trom town, and we found the
tront yard swept out, and the back
yard toe, and the water pail and
wash pan bad been scoured, and
the c¢hillren had put on clean
clothes, and everytling was in aps
ple pie order, for that is the way
country tolks do when town folls
are coming to see them. We
kaow all aboat that. But it is
rather embarrassing when town
company takes them unawares on
a wash day or eleaning up day. 1
remember thet on one oceasion wmy
wi‘e could hardly get one of the
girls to go to the deor, and when
she did go she opened it and got
behird it and asked she company
to walk into the parlor until she
could change her garments.
Billy Hood is my ideal of old
Agur's prayer; *‘give me poverty
'nnr riches.™ eis just comforts
‘able and has to work hard to keep
sO. He is alweys cheerful and so
are his wife and children. ilis
good old mother lives not :ar away,
and his married daughter is in
sight. He livesin a cottage that
is shaded by some large oak treee.
Tha well with its old oaken bucket
is in the back yard and the garden
is near at hand. Chickens of all
siz>s are meandering around, and
the ash-hopper and the dairy and
cider press show sirns of clean
things and good things. There is
nothing fine enough to be afraid of
—nothing poor enough to excite
your sympathy—everything is com
fortable and that is all.
“And I said if there's p2-ce to be
found in the world
A heart that wus bumble might
hope for it here.V
, Billy Hoed was a good goldior
in the war and he is a good farmer
in peace. He always has his
’prcmimn acre in cotton and in
ccrn. T thick that he can safely
count un two balesof the one and
sixty bushels of the other this
year and his whole erop is nearly
as good. Ife is a good citizen and
never grumbles about his taxes or
having to work the roads. He is
a good Christian und bhis children

! STORWS FOR SEPTEMBER.
| Rev. It/ B. Kicks Says There Will be Se
vere Winds and Sterms For a Moath.
The following predictiond are
given to ‘he world through the
columns of Word and Works, a
mouthly journal published in St.
Touis, by Rav. 1\&. Hicks:
The first day of September is
the ceuter of a régular storm period,
theretore we put downin the cal
endar, the Ist, 2nd and 3rd as the
days in which the r.ost active
storm movements are linble to ocs
cenr. .We write this forecist on
! Friday morning, August 16th,and |
dispatches, as well as private ad
| viees, inform us of snowfall within
| the past two or three days at vas
‘rious p'aces in Pennsylvania and |
' New {lampshire This, m;ethvr}
- with the fact that there was frost |
“in Northern Illinois on the Ist day |
Cof Avgust,not only continues to'
isustnin our prediction for a cool
i summer, but our special announce
ment of “amazing flights of the
’mercury up and dowa’ tor this
| exact time, in Augnst Word aud
' Works. This condition, in all
| probability, will continde, making
i heavy freats to the northward
' more than probable at the close of |
September’s first storm. About |
!the 9th the rise in tc:npemture‘
- necessary for secondary storm de
| velopments will take place, First
quarter of moonon the 2nd at 1
[ o’clock 34 minutes p. m.
Tle 12th of Septenber is not
only about the date of greatest
electrical excitement during every
autumnal equinox, but ig, this
vear, the center or a regular storm
period. Therefore, from the 10th
to the 15th, may be expected many
aciive and perhaps violent de
structivestorms and gales. Sea«
men and others will do well to pru~
dently heed all storm signals #nd
indications on or about the 11th,
12th 13th and 14th. Earthquake
phenomena at this time, or indeed
at any storm period in the month,
would be most natural, but per
hape harmless results, Tull moon

by reactionary storms. Moon's

G’clock 48 minutes p, n.
On the 24th falis th> center of

This, together with the earth’s

days. Recactionary temperature
