Then his showman master, thinking 'that' the care and cost of nursing him. would riot be repaid by any f uture service of. the dog as a public performer, had quietly open ed a .back "window - anddropped pthb oiit into the cold world, to get a living on three legs or to ilie, ac cording to his luck or his pluck.

She ran to the door ; and there a singular, and even to those who are accustomed to the tempest-phenomena of the West, an appalling spectacle, met her eye. A lurid gloom was in the sky. At the same time a frightful roar burst up on Jxer : pars anibiip n ,tho, .nqrthr west she saw whatnearlj'rozehwi heart with terror and ''anxiety. A vast, ballooii-sllaped pillar of what at one moment looke'd like' black va por and the next instant seemed like illuminated dust, glittering against the dark sky behind it, was rushing down across the country coming directly towards the farm and the house in which Mary stood: The ragged edges of cloud about it sparkled as if with flame. Onward it came, a messenger of death and destruction, with steadily increasing roar. At the base of it, where this stormy apparition ! , i touched the earth, a fiery, lambent' "foot" seemed to play to and fro ; and wh erever this ghastly foot touched houses, trees, stra w-ricks, barns, everything disappeared on the instant. - As it drew nearer in its destructive course, Mary saw that all around it audi high in the sky about it, the air was filled with branches of trees, boards and fragments of whatever had been' in 'its path. " , ? . For an instant she gazed,' fasciria ted by her fear and the awful gran deur of the sight. v. Then, recalling John" frequent in.stmctions.what to do in such emergericiesj she ran into the cellar. , Scarcely, had her foot left the last stair, when with a roar and a deafening crash, s,the house above her was lifted, whirled around and swept away. Timbers? bricks and under-pinnirig-tbries , fell into the cellar, and a torrent of rain, mingled with , hail, v'dirt, straw and leaves, half buried poqr ;3fary where she crouched and clung in a corner. But the cyclone passed as quickly as it had come. In three riiiriutes it was over ; and then Mary AYistar side, in an agony of terror, for her loved ones, not for herself,-for she was safe arid unhurt, . crying aloud 'to God to protect them, hurriedly climbed up the broken stairs arid set off in each ;of,J()hri;andiIinnie;;;; AVTiat a spectacle was that which met her eye when she looked over the prairie !. The .house gone, arid every out-building, even trie fences and garden trees demolished and veptlway;;; Of :the;eight; ' cbws"i,n an adjoining; pasture, only one re mamed, . and that .one:, lay :, maimed and groaning with pain. ' It seemed to the poor wonian that every living 1 creature save Tierself had been killed, and that she alohe was left on earth; Hardly JktroWin which way to look, she started towards5 where John had been i 7 wbrk., hoping that Minnie, wdy ' with 'Kim arid &at Jth1 stbriri try to describe the happiness 01 John and Mary Wistarside ? What to then! now were house and cattle lost ! Here was 'Minniej for 'whom their, hearts were breaking, safe and sound inutile old'dug-qut!" . , . . ... , , And Pink ! What had Pink to do with it, i does the reader ask ? A great deal, as nearlyas Minnie could explain; 1 The two 1 had wahdered away to the creek, when, seeing the sky so black and hearing such a dreadful roaring, Minnie was fright ened and started to run for home. But Pink? caught her dress in his mouth and fairly pulled her along to the door of thesold "dug-out," ,ino wKicl Jas the awfui roaring grew rbudef, tliey'Kbth ran to escape the cyclone. So our story goes on to prove, what some know already, that a.i kind act, even a trifling one like John Wistarside's to poor Pink, is rarely lost in the world, but often returns a hundred fold more than is given. Youth's Companion. - TAXATION SOUTH AND NORTH ALL KOi OF The census demonstrates some most interesting, facts! 'The! figures have been grouped very instruc tively and some very valuable les sons may be drawn from them. The statistics of per capita; tax in the different States are a ', matter of economic value in more respects than one. They are especially irii portant in showing that the South is a desirable section to locate in, to secure freedom from the burdens of government in their heavier phases, and when this privilege is associa ted, .as ! . in the case of the' South, with better climate,1 superior natural resources, freedom from bleak win ters and killing " cold, "and all ! the advantages, of our, ; sunny .region, the inducements; to give the South the preference as a place, to immigrate to, is irresistible.
