The New Cash Shoe Store. This week we would like to call your attention to the fact that in connection with our elegant line of boots and shoes, we are sole agents for the “American sewing machine, tbe very best machine in the market for the money. Why pay $50 or $60 for a high priced machine, when $38 will buy an “American,” which will do as much and just as satisfactory work as any other ? If you or your friends coi template purchasing a new sewing machine, call at No.12 Main St.,aud see the “Amer ican” and save $25 or $30. We feel con fident that you will be more than pleased. J. W. R ickenbrode AN APPALLING RECORD. The First Half of 1892 Has Been a Most Disastrous One. Since January 1 there have been four destructive wind storms, killing nearly 200 persons, viz.: April 1, Missouri and Kansas, 75; May 16, Texas, 15; May 27, Wellington, Kan., 53; June 16, Southern Minnesota, 50. In the same period there have been four great floods, viz.: April 11, Tombigbee river, 250; May 18, Sioux City, Iowa, 35; May 20,Lower Mississippi, 36; June 5, fire and flood, Oil Creek, Pa., 196. There also have been four mining disasters, viz.: January 7, McAllister, I. T., 65; April 20, Minersville, Pa., 12; May 10, Roslvn, Wash., 44; May 14, Butte, Mon., 11. Three fires have been unusually disastrous to life, viz.: January 21,Indian apolis Surgical Institute, 19; February 7, Hotel Royal, New York, 30; April 28, theater, Philadelphia, 12. Besides these there were on March 21 an explosion at Jordan, Mich., by which ten lives were lost; June 13, the explosion at the Mare Island Navy Yard, which killed thirteen, and June 15, the fall of the bridge over Licking river, by which 32 lives were sacrificed. These are the principal disasters of the year thus far, and they involve an aggregate of 960 lives. Adding to this total the sum of losses by minor accidents as reported to the Tribune, we have the following sad and unusual record: By fire, 876; by drowning, 1,364; by explosions, 318; by falling structures of various kinds, 267; by mine disasters, 308; by wind storms, 340 and by lighting 120. Grand total, 3,588. The total loss of life by these causes during tbe whole of last year—and 1891 was one of the most de structive years on record—was 5,672. So it is evident that 1892 will far surpass its predecessor.—[Chicago Tribune. THE VOICE IN THE TWILIGHT. MRS. HERRICK JOHNSON. and BROCTON AND PORTLAND.

Dr. Lyman Abbott. “The man who tries to take away from men their faith in im mortality, their hope at the grave, their I was sitting alone in the twilight, With spirit troubled and vexed, Witn thoughts that were morbid gloomy, And faith that was sadly perplexed. Some homely work I was doing For the child of my love ana care, Some stitches half wearily setting, In the endless need of repair. But my thoughts were about the ‘building,’ The work some day to be tried ; And that only the gold and the silver, And the precious stones should abide. And remembering my own poor efforts, The wretched work I had done, And, even when trying most truly, The meagre success I had won : “It is nothing but ‘wood, hay, and stub ble,’ ” I said ; “it will all be burned”— This useless fruit of the talents One day to be returned. ‘And I have so longed to serve Him, And sometimes I know I have tried ; it I’m sure when He sees such building, He never will let it abide.” Just then, as I turned the garment, That no rent should be left behind, My eye caught an odd little bungle Of mending and patchwork combined. My heart grew suddenly tender, And something blinded my eyes, With one of those sweet intuitions That sometimes make us so wise. Dear child! She wanted to help me, I knew ’twas the best she could do ; But oh, what a botch she had made it— Tbe gray mismatching the blue ! And yet—can von understand it ? — With a tender smile and a tear, And a half compassionate yearning, I felt she had grown more dear. Then a sweet voice broke the silence, And the dear Lord said to me, ‘ Art thou tenderer for the little child Than I am tender for thee?” Then straightway I knew His meaning, So full of compassion and love, And my faith came back to its Refuge Like the glad returning dove. For I thought when the Master-builder Comes down His temple to view, To see what rents must be mended And what must be builded anew. Perhaps as He looks o’er the building He will bring my work to the light, And seeing the marring and bungling, And how far it all is from right, He will feel as 1 felt for my darling, And will say, as I said for her, Dear child ! She wanted to help me, And love for me was the spur. And, for the true love that is in it, The work shall seem perfect as mine, And because it was willing service, I will crown it with plaudit divine. And there in the deepening twilight I seemed to be clasping a hand, And to feel a great love constraining me, Stronger than any command. Then I knew by the thrill of sweetness, ’Twas the hand of the Blessed One, That would tenderly guide and hold me Till all life’s labor is done. So my thoughts are nevermore gloomy, My faith no longer is dim, But my heart is strong and restful, And my eyes are looking to Him.

This will probably be one of the closest and most exciting races ever driven on this track,and all lovers of the sport should not fail to be there.

Since January 1 there have been four destructive wind storms, killing nearly 200 persons, viz.: A pril 1, Missouri andKansas, 75; May 16, Texas, 15; M ay 27, Wellington, K an., 53; Ju n e 16, Southern Minnesota, 50. In the same period there have been four great floods, v iz.: A pril11, Tombigbee river, 250; May 18, Sioux City, Iowa, 35; May 20,Lower Mississippi, 36; Jun e 5, fire and flood, Oil Creek, P a., 196. There also have been four mining disasters, viz.: January 7, McAllister, I .T ., 65; April 20, Minersville, P a ., 12; May 10, Roslvn, W ash., 44; May 14, Butte, Mon., 11. Three fires have been unusually disastrous to life, viz.: January 2 1 ,Indian­apolis Surgical Institute, 19; February 7, Hotel Royal, New York, 30; A pril 28, theater, Philadelphia, 12.

Besides these there were on March 21 an explosion at Jordan , Mich., by which ten lives were lost; Jun e 13, the explosion at the M are Island Navy Y ard, which killed thirteen, and June 15, the fall of the bridge over Licking river, by which 32 lives were sacrificed. These are the principal disasters of the year thus far, and they involve an aggregate of 960 lives. Adding to this total the sum of losses by minor accidents as reported to the Tribune, we have the following sad and unusual record: By fire, 876; by drowning, 1,364; by explosions, 318; by falling structures of various kinds, 267; by mine disasters, 308; by wind storms, 340 and by lighting 120. Grand total, 3,588. The total loss of life by these causes during tbe whole of last year—and 1891 was one of the most de­structive years on record—was 5,672. So it is evident that 1892 will far surpass its predecessor.—[Chicago Tribune.

I was sitting alone in the twilight,W ith spirit troubled and vexed,W itn thoughts that were morbid gloomy,

And faith that was sadly perplexed.Some homely work I was doing

F or the child of my love ana care,Some stitches half wearily setting,In the endless need of repair.But my thoughts were about the ‘building,’ The work some day to be tried ;And that only the gold and the silver,

A nd the precious stones should abide.And remembering my own poor efforts,The wretched work I had done,And, even when trying most truly,

The meagre success I had won :“ I t is nothing but ‘wood, hay, and stub­ble ,’ ”

I said ; “ it will all be burned” —This useless fru it of the talents One day to be returned.

‘And I have so longed to serve Him ,And sometimes I know I have tried ; it I ’m sure when H e sees such building, H e never will let it abide.”

Just then, as I turned the garment,That no rent should be left behind,M y eye caught an odd little bungle Of mending and patchwork combined.

My heart grew suddenly tender,And something blinded my eyes,W ith one of those sweet intuitions That sometimes make us so wise.

Dear c h ild ! She wanted to help me,I knew ’twas the best she could do ;But oh, what a botch she had made it— Tbe gray mismatching the blue !

And yet—can von understand it ? —With a tender smile and a tear,And a half compassionate yearning,I felt she had grown more dear.Then a sweet voice broke the silence,And the dear Lord said to me,‘ Art thou tenderer for the little child Than I am tender for th e e ? ”Then straightway I knew H is meaning,So full of compassion and love,And my faith came back to its Refuge L ike the glad returning dove.For I thought when the Master-builder Comes down H is temple to view,To see what rents must be mended And what must be builded anew.Perhaps as H e looks o’er the building H e will bring my work to the light,And seeing the marring and bungling,And how far it all is from right,H e will feel as 1 felt for my darling,And will say, as I said for her,Dear child ! She wanted to help me,And love for me was the spur.And, for the true love that is in it,

The work shall seem perfect as mine, And because it was willing service,I will crown it with plaudit divine.

And there in the deepening twilight I seemed to be clasping a hand,And to feel a great love constraining me, Stronger than any command.Then I knew by the th rill of sweetness, ’Twas the hand of the Blessed One, That would tenderly guide and hold me T ill all life’s labor is done.So my thoughts are nevermore gloomy, My faith no longer is dim,But my heart is strong and restful,And my eyes are looking to Him .
