AUNT CYNTHY'S OLE LADY. : " Fine feathers make fine birds," muttered Aunt Cynthy, coming down the : hall stairs, and parsing the open door i wherein stood Rosalind Fayre, in a Xile : green silk, with coftee-colored laces at j her throat. Aunt Cynthy was unjust. ] Rosalind wOuld be fine in any garb?a . fresh young beauty, who was aware of ! the fact, to be sure, and did the best she J knew how by herself. , There were two front doors to hospita- , ble Fair Hill. At the upper end of the ] piazza issued directly Mildred Mason. ] " Thar s my beauty," soliloquized Aunt t Cynthy, passing out of sight. Mildred's ( white dress was brightened by scarlet j riDDons; sue una a scariet snawi cus- ] posed about her raven looks. I am not ? .sure whether she wsis pretty or not; but ^ she was attractive?a heavenlier gift even than that of beauty. < It was November; but it was soft, \ bright weather still in the border States, , and exhilarating as well. The skies , were golden and crimson that sunset. { AuntCynthy reappeared round a corner ] of the house, with a pail in her hand, j bound for the dairy, the roof of which j was visible in the next lield. Her locks j were bound up in a handkerchief of the f autumn colors?yellow and red. Mildred, ] taking it into her head to go a-Ailking ( also, and joining the old woman present- j ly. suggested this fact to her. . "Yes, honey; but I wars dese colors fur a better reason den dat. Dem as likes { valler sees ghosts; an1 dem jisde ghosts , likes likes red." " Red is my color. But I don't know < about the ghosts." j " You's not dead yit, is you? You'll j tin1 out befo1 you is. Now dat Miss . Rosalin'! Green? Reckon our ole lady j Ml gib her a wide berth. Ghosts can t j abide green." i " \Vnat old lady? " 1 " I see her more'en nuff times. Ole , lady wid spinnin'-wheel, all in white, 4 wid a cap wid a frill roun' it. Fair Hill can't git shet of her nohow." . " Have you seen her often? " "Right smart often lately. Reckon j sutliin gwine to happen. Dat's it. Ole lady tryin' ter gib warnin'. You shed ^ sec her, by rights. Miss Milly; you is a : Mason yerself. c In the dairy were two ancient servingmen, churning. They saluted Mildred | c with wide ivory smiles, but spoke not. t Aunt Cyntliy skimmed the cream for r tea, antt Mildred strolled further up the g Held, into a cabin, where sat a feeble old woman, mother of Cale, the head dairy- n man, who inarticulatcd a greeting. ^ Calf's wife appeared from the back- e ground, saying, " Mother had a stroke i las' fall. An' Aiow is you, miss? I is r tollable." J| Mildred was well, and was glad to be y assured Mrs. Cale was the same. She i ^ stood pensively regarding the two I r women with her strangely beautifulj j dark eyes. | v "Mother are a right ole oomam, miss," i s Cale's wife surmised, with subdued ' f pride. but yet with an air of uncertainty, ? "She war magged in eighteen hundred \ an' twelve.i r Mildred am, cried, "Indeed!" then i added: "liiat. need not make her*so|f very old, either. My grandfather and j H grandmother were married in eighteen \ hundred and twelve; tlien they were j twenty.and sixteen. My grandfather is j eighty-five now. I don't believe you are f much over eighty, aunty." t Cale's wife was highly impressed. She ^ h.ul entire faith in Mildred's calculations. " Don't you reckon she are, miss?" j she said. * e Mildred reiterated her conviction. c A unt Cynthy re-issued from the dairy, s cream pail in hand. Having established t a character for mathematical genius, j Mildred reioined her. Chile's wife 1nnl-<>rl after her admiringly. It seemed such a s line thing not only to know one's age, t but other peoples' as tvell. _ ? Rosalind was still on the piazza when r Mildred reached the J louse in time to answer, "Here!"when Ruth Mason, her hostess, asked, "Where is Mildred?" in her sweet sail voice. Ruth was the mean between the two extremes of Rosalind ^ and Mildred, in the sense that both \ver? f her cousins, although not each other's. (] She had Mildred's dark, dark eyes? J grave in her case. But then matters and | a things were grave at Fair Hill just then. | v The tea-bell rang, and they followed | fl its sound. Mrs. Mason, with snowy j t hair and cap and kerchief, presided at c the urn. A clock that was two hun-1 a dred years old ticked in one coi*ner. The bill of iare of course included Maryland ! f( biscuit. It remains a mystery why these s snould have been better than had they liven eaten out of Maryland. A small f colored hoy. with his e\ es shut, waved a ], long brush of peacock f athers, and rep- y wnw:u !i in-ui iy oDsoiorc type, replaced i ^ by tlie patent fly m:i<!iines of modern , times. This oftice, however, was almost J, a sinecure at that time < f the year. After tea the party returned to the parlor, where a wikkI lire bi.-izcd. Rosalind s dropped into a picturesqueold-l;ishioned i, chair, which dated as l'ar as h ick as the clock. Her lovely arm-, with their co- ,j quettish elbow sleeves, fell into her lap. r Her little crossed feet revealed dainty (] strapped slippers. There was an ex-, quisite rose-leaf flush on her face. Gil-, v bert Rosse. who had ridden over from } neighboring Rossemere, drew up a chair \ beside her, fasciitf ced apparently, manlike, by toilette and grace. Ruth took a {j low seat in a corner of the fire-place out r of the light of the blaze. Mildred ! r flitted oft' to the kitchen, where blazed another fire, of <riant size, over which I j hung a coal-black kettle. Aunt Linda was 1 n the presiding genius of this precinct. Its t yellow walls were darkened by smoke. (] Mysterious shadows haunted it. Two J ] tallow dips served to illuminate the cen- ( ter merely ofalarse table, where inntc ?. Linda and Cyntiiy wi re supping, *he j ( small colored buy at a respectful dis-' ( tance. i E " I seen de ole lady jcs now, Milly," \ say- Aunt Cyntiiy. ; You don't say so!" responded Mil-; dml. with spontaneous interest. " Suthin on her mind, sbo. She keep a-liiokin1 at me an1 a-lookin'. Cap wid frill, spin nin'-wheel an' all. Can't make , her out nohow. Dese is tight times fur j de .Masons. Reckon dat's ae reason she i J show herself so often. De ole place be !, sole, sho as fate, onles-i a miracle take I, place." ' Mildred assented. It whs as Cynthy ; said. This might be her last visit to I Fair Hill. There was a mortgage on the | farm for a thousand dollars, which would j be foreclosed in December unless the I money was forthcoming, which seemei unlikely. Mrs. Mason had tried to rais the sum far and near, but without sue cess. It seemed incredible, but th beautiful homestead represented by thi inconsiderable amount would doubtles be sacrificed in default of it. 44 Mas'r Bertie Rosse foolin' roun1 arte Miss Rosalin'.

All of which Mildred knew alreadj Gazing into the bright blaze, slie won clered now it avoum all end. Rosalin vrjis bewitching. Still talking. Aunt Cynthy went bacl into the dining-room. "Par she ar now!" she said. " She hub Iff do spin nin'-wheel. She are a-walkin1 up ar ilown, up an' down, dar by de clock." The clock stood in a recess beyond : iamb which ran along all the rest c that- side of the room. It contained closet, and in the parlor, on the otlie side of the wall, a deep fireplace. Bu these two recesses having been take: into consideration, there still remained >pace unaccounted for in the middle c the jamb. Mildred, staring over at th wall, puzzled out this fact. 44 Now she are here," pursued Aun Cynthy, 44 a-knockin1." Aunt Cynth put her hand on the wall precise! where Mildred had established a hollov space. Mildred came and stood beside the oh woman. 44 Odd!" the girl said. 44Ther is board here. It is not bricked ove like the rest of the wall." Mildre rapped on it with her knuckles, and i nrnrn o lmllnw cminrl rnvi* rliffuvont frnr Siat which followed the knocking abov unci below it. "Curus!" repeated Aunt Cynthj " I'd like tef take out (lat ar board fust rate. Pat's whar she rapped an1 pint ed." Here Aunt Mason appeared. She ha heard for so many years of Cynthy' "Ole Jjjvdy" that she listened to thi last demonstration of hers vritli com posure, and passed on to "give out breakfast?a matter of more immediat interest. Mildred drifted back into th parlor, seated herself in the other corne of the fireplace, listened to the win howling down the wide chimney thought of ships at sea blown about n such a gale as was brewing. Ships ?one ship, more properly. It was a consolation to Mildied to oh serve that whenever si) e looked towan Bertie Rosse, he was looking towan Ruth. In consequence Rosalind <*rev more pointedly charming and sparkling But poor little Ruth never once raisei tier eyes from the piece of knitting sh hurl tiiVnn n n TT<>r mother called he presently, and she went out of the room md did not return. After a while Mil ired followed her. It was dull worl chaperoning Rosalind's flirtation. Shi ivould go and write a letter. She passec Ruth's open door. No light; Rutl kneeling r>y the window, her head 01 ;l?e sill. There was something ver Io6olate in her little figure in the moon ight. Mildred scolded away a 3erti'e Rosse to herself. Men were th< ;ame fickle, worldly creature,? all tlx .vorld over. No, not all men! She wrote her letter?a long one She heard horse's hoofs clattering dowi :he avenue by that time. She was seizec .vith an intolerable thirst, which tin .vater in her room, drawn for hours ailed to quench. She stole down stairs Ruth's door still open; Ruth still kneel ng in the moonlight. A: tin? head o ;he stairs she met Rosalind, lamp ii land?Rosalind, with her fresh bloon ind stcjudy smile and dainty dress Down into the parlor, where the dyinj mbers shot up a farewell flame to lig'i leracross the room.

Cynthj ,T:isped it eagerly. "It are heavy loney; it are money." The old woman was right; it was r >ag of gold. When Mrs. Mason countec t on the following day it was found t( ontain three thousand dollars. There is a Fair Hill legend which acounts for the money being: secreted here, and nothing gives Cynthy greate] ileasure than to relate the legend and it! equel. The next moraine before breakfast .1 iote was hiinded Ruth. "Darling," il egan?" for you are my darling, whcth r you will be engaged to me or not? cannot command time to see you this aorning, so I send you this line. Whj lid you avoid me last night?

Finally, Rosalind was radiant, albeii n habitual green, and albeit Bertie hac yes for no one but Ruth. But wha if that!

The drc drawing-strings pass around the collar, tlie r not up and down upon it. Sta r- Surplice effects given by shirred pieces Ar< down the front are greatly in favor for drc y dress waists. Striped, plaid or polka- in e dotted silk or satin is used for this pur- opt '3 pose; thus an almond-colored basque Cni e and overskirt is worn with a full-shir- ni? red front of Scotch plpid silk, and the C s kilt skirt is also of the gay plaid.^ To tra i* trim waists in this way take two pieces she lengthwise of the goods, each a fourth cau ' of a yard wide, and long enough to J , i- reach from the shoulder-seam to the S d basque front. Double the upper end to Qn*' make a ruffle an inch wide, and shin* it ol f k across in a bunch of five or six rows, t c drawing it into half its width; then make V - two similar clusters of shirring at the ?ev i1 waist line, drawing them much narrower | than at the top, to give a tapering effect. a This is prettiest in a soft trimming fab- ore ric, and does not need to be lined with a foundation lawn. Sometimes a,broad lU(j i' belt passes over it at the waist, and the ,,0e t I + ImnifC in tw.-n irtnnS hnv " u<u~i> unun kilt uvm iion^u ? ,__J ii like a groat Alsaeian bow. or else forms tioi a a siisli.

The checked or Panama $7i y clotlis so much used by young ladies for i y spring suits are so thin and pliable that thu v the surplice drapery is made of the cloth, one merely piped on tlie edges with olive, cur d maroon, or seal brown silk. j 1>0t c Some of the polonaises sent out by | tjjr r Worth have the vest sewed in the gar- J'11; d ment, but separated just below the waist, the t and the ends hanging and tied with rib- I 11 bon loops, or else ornamented like a tas- i fnn e sol.

Missouri and Nebraska. a A large, sullen looking cloud was no- th ticed just east of the town of Frankfort, ' > Kansas, on the line of the central branch of the Union Pacific railroad, west of Atchison. The cloud was funnel-shaped, r and seemed to increase in size as it t-ji i moved along until it reached the town; ' when it seized everything in its embrace t j like some terrible monster, gathering up j houses, barns, live stock and human be- ' ings, twisting huge timbers and trees like reeds, and leaving death and de- jt struction in its wake. Four persons jje were killed at this point. The cyclone then passed east and ? j struck the town of Fulton, unroof- j ing sixteen houses, tearing up immense trees and killing nine more people, Among the buildings destroyed were the Presbyterian church, school buildings. Dostoffice and two elevators; also sj^ei the ninety-foot span of the iron bridge oti,a n.: m f.? i 8llc; aurobb t-IIU Diut* n v ci, mo uvu ivuonuu crGd girders being twisted like pipe stems, The storm spent its fury in Larene lake, its path being nearly half a mile wide ana easily discernible by uprooted tree? If: and demolished fences. thing At about the same hour the town of drauf Lee's Summit, Mo., on the Missouri n?m' Pacific railroad, thirty miles east of {jj 88 Kansas City, was also visited, and as in the above case, the cyclcno was noticed v fully ten minutes before it reached the voug, town. The- day had been sultry, and upon just previous to the arrival of tne cy- dead clone the air was filled with electricity, by it As the dark rolling mass of clouds ap-1 injud proached very close to the earth, the ment people left their houses in alarm, but ment the element of destruction suddenly of a' turned to the left, barely touching the 1 town proper. In the suburbs a number of houses were leveled. The path made dent< by the storm was about three hundred ^ yards wide. The cyclone traveled in a wher direct line only at a rate of ten miles an to tu hour; in the circle it probably exceeded coun sixty miles an hour. still Finahy it reached Blue Springs, on the gottii Chicago and Alton railroad, levelling Pclle every house in the town, and killing Mr. large nd Mrs. Lee Harris, well-known citizens; also a little child aged.nine years, ja ^ and wouncTinc another so badly that it y dt will die. Persons witnessed the horrible . Wi scene at a distance of but 200 yards and ll.v?r felt no effects of the storm at all. They I??ht state that they at first heard a tremend- t,0?j ous roaring, and, on looking, saw the hurricane coming, funnel-shaped, with reve] terrible velocity, at times close to the ^le earth, then bounding upward and al- by r most disappearing. The air assumed a them thick, sulpnurous 'smell, and the electric Fo currents could be plainly seen and heard , snapping like gun shots. They saw ^ Harris' residence drawn into the vortex Vftlu( of the cloud, completely out of sight, and cause in a few seconds falling timbers rained orgai upon them from all directions. The pr^ bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Hams were car- Th ried 300 rods and then dashed against tho h some trees, Mr. Harris' body being per- more fectly nude when discovered. A little viem seven-year-old child was dashed against 1876; a straw pile and then carried nearly half Amei a mile, its boey being so well protected by straw that it was not much hurt. Scientists are sorely puzzled to account for the phenomena. All the bodies were covered with thick, bluish sulphurous | mud. The clothing was stripped oil j torn to shreds; shoes were torn off the I feet and the bodies burned and blackened fearfully. Horses, cattle and hogs were ,By cauzht up on Mr. Harris1 place and carriecflonc distances and dropped, crushed huabj] out of all shape. After leaving the place the tornado burst for a moment and seemed as though it had finished its Th( awful work of destruction, but quicker than thought it came together with price deafening report, carrying up water, ? . mud and other debris and throwing it in every direction. Ch( The next scene of the awful work was the residence of Mr. Underwood, which For is totally destroyed. The family saved j oi10 1 themselves by running from the house ;fu"1)0 and clinging to the shrubbery. Cattle, I J1111'* however, were killed in largre numbers I *c' and a large amount of valuable property | b?atln destroyed. After leaving there the tor- rcellt. nado rose high in the air and traveled J forni, on lor two miles lurtlier at the terriDie , strai velocity of a mile a minute for two I contra ruiles, when it lowered, striking several | owner other farmhouses, tearing them into I The toothpicks and injuring several persons. I price i For tnree miles more the cyclone kept jaD8wei up this work of devastation, when its ' force being almost spent it suddenly | -~? burst with a roar like a vol lev of artil-1 lery, rose high in the air and changed its ! course to the northeast. During the last ! _ f ( *ix miles of jts course rain poured down r caivef in perfect torrents, accompanied with I sheep heavy falls of black, sulphurous mud j ^mbl and broken timbers, almost deluging the | 0,pi~ whole country. The cyclone or series of Fionr cyclones covered an area of country 100 ! miles wide by 150 square, the storm 1 center jumping from place to place, al-! Rye?i though the whole territory was visited j Bariej by violent' wind and rain. Where the , Corn" cyclone proper passed the country was | oatast-rnum with flead bodies of human I beings and stock; fences tind buildings i j**?~ were whirled about like straw and in | Horp* iome places the crops were totally de-, Porkjtroyen. i LardIn the neighborhood of Irving, Kan., ' where the loss was the greatest, the bntte clouds appeared in light-colored masses, j constantly changing "until, about three ! o'clock, they banked in the northwest chens and west in huge black masses; and a! current of hot air came up from the j _ southwest which appeared to hurl them : in wreaths like battle clouds one upon i piour another. It was- about four o'clock j whnai when the citizens were startled to see a | _ wild, funnel-shaped cloiid appear in the . west apd sweep onward in awful ma- j cutajesty, as if to doom their town to de- Nutte struction. It was then eight or ten pgtere08, miles distant and in appearance but a few feet in circumference, but as it came Flour on it increased in size as the distance whea diminished, and soon that ominous roar, like muffled thunder, which always sario; accompanies these monsters, could be distinctly heard as it went whirling Be^fi along on its mission 01 destruction, j The upper part of the cloud became im- | mense in size, while the neck and sucker-1 comlike mouth, which appeared to reach to j "at#the earth, alternately incrcnsed or diminished in width as the huge bag above inflated or discharged its contents, or as jit ascended or descended. To those |?eef< who watched its passage it was a grand j yet appalling sight and one never to be 1 hoot forgotten.
