Alas! how light a cause may move
Dissensiou between hearts that lovo !
Hearts that tho world in vain lias tried,
And sorrow but more ulosoly lied;
That stood the storm when waves were rough
l ot in a sunny hour fall oil,
Like khipB that have gnno down at sea,
When heaVen was all tranquility !
A something light as air, -a look,
A word unkind or wiongly taken,—
°- Iovo Utat tempests never shook,
A breath, n touoh liko this has shaken !
And ruder words will soon rush in
To spread tho breach that words begin
And eyes forget the gentle ray
7’hcy wore in courtship's smiling day;
And voices loso the tone that shed
V tenderness round all the said;
Till fast declining, one by ono,
The sweetness of love are gone,
And hearts, so lately mingled, seem
Like broken clouds,-or like the stream.
That smiling loft the mountain’s brow,
As though its waters ne'er oonld Hover,
' of, ere it rench the plain below,
Breaks into floods that part forever.
G you, that have the charge of love,
Keep him in rosy bondage bound,
As in tho fields of bliss above
He sits, with flowerets fettered round;
Loose not a tio that round him cliDgs,
Nor ovor let him use his wings;
For even nu hour, a minute's flight
Will rob tho plumes of half their light,
Liko that oelestiul bird,—whose nest
Is found bcuenth farEaetern skies,—
Whoso wings, thongh radiant when at rest',
k°so all their brightness whon he flies!

unbounded. His arrival at different
cities, was greeted witb bands play

great numbers pressed forward to
grasp bis hand. At New Haven he
said with a Bmile, "my arm is stiff

empire Burritt, of tho Sunday Herald,
Truo bills have been found against
Dock Jackson and George Wilder,
both colored for tho murder of F.
M. Falkner a white conviot in the
State penitentiary. It was first giv
en out by Jackson a guard in the
camp that Falkner bad jumped into
the Chattahoochee river and was
etidoavoring to escape, and to pre
vent this he was shot and killed by
Jackson. Mr. Nelms the Superin
teudent became-couvinced that the
statement was fulse, and his investi
gation has resulted in true bills be
ing found against the parties named
above, for murder. W ltb the kuown
indiscretion of colored men as a
class, aud their inveterate prejudice
cherished by thorn against the
whites, it is Btrange that they should
ever be employed as guards over
white convicts.

vast army of officeholders, long in

money and influence, but corrupt to
the core. To-day they seek to con
trol the religious element of your
coflhtry, to-morrow they will try to
gain the interest of your millionaire
magnutes for the purpose of raising
money to carry on their campaign
There should be no mistake about
this contest. It is an attempt to
break down the barrier between the
people of the United States-and
those that rule them. The people
are bound down by a class of office
holders whose business it is to make
money out of their positions. If
you are to go on forever choosing
your rulers from this class what will
be the end?
"This is a question every one of

it is tbo party of the people Thou
sands are flocking to our standard,
for they love their fellow-country

they do their party. Let us leel

the power of government we hold
from the people a sacred trust."

which General Hancock reoeivedtbe
news of his defeat four years ago :
Which one of the carniidates for the
presidency, wo wonder, will take his
defeat as quietly did General Han
cock. His wife, who told the story
to tho writer, says that on the night
of the election he went to bed at 7
o’clock, utterly worn out. When Bhe
begged him not to retiro so early, as
there would probably be some ono
who would want to see him that
night, he said emphatically :
caunot see anyone to-night. I am
drowned. The typhoon is the
verest experienced since 1870.
so tired that I must go to bed at
once."
So be retired and slept so sound
ly that wheu his wife, wbo staid up
to hear the news, went to bed she
didn't disturb him, nor did be awako
until 5 o’clock next morning, when
Mrs Hancock, having a coughing
spell, ho roused ouougb to ask her
if she bad any news. She said she
had, and added : "It is a Waterloo
for you." #
“All r’ght,” he answered, and
turning over was soon sound asleep
again.
Destruction of Forests.
At the Hygienic Congress recent
ly held at Berlin Dr. Bchwappach,
of Giessen, road a paper on the
“Climatic Efforts of Destroying
Forests." He thought that the ex
treme temperature of lands which
had been formerly covored with
woods became more elevated both
iu the atmosphere and in the soil.
The average dampness of the atmos
phere was reduced, but that of the
ground depended upon the nature of
of the soil. The numbey of the
oKmmL, dons uot seem to be much
affected by the destrnction of tor
ests, but the proportion that reach
the earth iu the form ot mist or
rain i t notably augmented. The
lands in the neighboring localities
are no longer protected ugainst dry
winds nor sheltered against the vi
olence of the winds. If the land is
fiat the difference becomes all the
more perceptible. The disastrous
consequences that result are far
more serious on large continents
than in maritime districts or islands
After the destiuotiou of forests, the
water will remain in the soil, which
was formerly extracted bv the vege
tation, aud its effects must be inju
rious to health The destruction of
the forests by accelerating the evap
oration of surface-water haB an un
favorable iuflueuce on tho abun
dance and preservation of water
springs. The surfaoe-water, no lon
ger checked in its courso by the
trunks and roots of the trees, flows
off more rapidly, aud,this, oombined
with the prompt evaporation of
small rivulets and puddles, soon re-
ducos tho volumes uud depth of the
neighboring rivers. In mountain
ous districts, the destruction of for
ests produces torrents, land-slips
and avalanches,and these evil effects
are felt at a great distauce. When
the soil is light aud sandy the romov
al of trees of one of the principal
causes of the formation of quick
sands. This danger increases with
the violence of the wind, and es
pecially near the sea-coast,. There
fore, it is the duty of the State to
encourage, by every means, the
plantation of woods, especially on
the downs by the sea-shore.
The Great Typhoon.
San Francisco, October 28.—The
steamer Arubic, which arrived Sun
day from Cbiua and Japuu, brought
the following additional details of
the great typhoon of September 15th
which caused such terrible destruc
tion of life and property at Yokoho-
ma and Tokio.
The storm came up so rapidly
aud with such tremendous fury that
no precaution could be takeu in Yo
kohornu. The entire lower part of
the city, called the settlement, was
completely wrecked. No house was
left standing The inhabitants made
no attempt to save the.r property,
but lied for their lives to escape
drowniug from the rushing waters,
driven upon the land by the fury of
the wind. The newspapers make
no attempt to furnish the details of
the destruction iu that port of the
city. They summarized by saying
that as the “settlement” was destroy
ed it is useless to publish any details.
The higher portions of the city be
ing more exposed were equaffy un
fortunate. Several of the largest-
and most substantial buildings were
swept away as if built of pasteboard.
In that section alone 128 booses
were destroyed aud 390 damaged
Tho loss of life ou shore was

“I beg your pardon, miss,
remarked a Sunday-sobool-supetin-
tendent like-the-big girls looking
sort of man, as bo sat down beside
a young lady who was wiping ber
eyes witb ber bandkeichief ; "beg
your pardon, miss, but I see you are
in tiouble, I offer you my assistance.
Nothiug pains me more than to see
a woman in distress. Woman was
made to be happy, and it makes me
sad to see you weep here with no
one here to comfort you. It always
grieves, me grievously to see a tear
in a woman’s pretty eye. I was
drawn toward you by the maguet-
iam of sympathy. Can I do some
thing for you ?”
"Yes, you can," the young lady
replied, withdrawing her handker
chief aud showing one red eye and
ono saucy one; "perhaps if you will
go in the next car and sit there for

IIow lovely are the lilies which
grow in the water! They never
pine with thirst; for their root is in
the Btieam, their leaves float upon it,
and their flowers peep forth from it.
They are fit emblems of those be
lievers who dwell in God, wbo are
not occasional seekers of divine fel
lowship, but abide in Ghrist Jesus.
Their roots are by the rivers of wa
ters and therefore their leaf shall
not wither. A Christian minister
once said to an aged Gbriatian: "I
pray the Lord oft n to visit you in
hiB love.” "Visit met” cried the he
ed saint, "Why say visit me? He
Ittea here lisma dwells in me.”
that abiding fellowship we ought
each^one of us to attain. "Bles
sed are they that dwell in thy house,
they will be still praising tbee.”
This is going to heaven by Pullman
oar, riding luxuriously as well as
traveling swiftly. Iu tbis style of
religion there aro nofldoubts and
tears; abundant grace drowns all
mistrust, a little grace will save, but
it will not make us sure of our safe
ty. The fullness of the blessing can
ulone secure the joy of it.
The longer I live the more sure do
I become that our happiness in life,
onr comfort in trouble and our
strength for service- all depend up
on our living near to God, nay,
dwelling in God, as the lilies in the
water. To grow on the banks of
the river of the water of life is good,
but to grow in tho stream is far
bettor. God’s lilies need to be in
him who is their life. With all the
earnestness of my soul I would en
treat all whom I love to cultivate
continual communion with the Lord.
It may require great watchfulness,
but ib will well ,repay the believer
for all bis Care. This river bath
golden sands. Fellowship with God
is a land which , fioweth with milk
and honey. I would rather spend
an hour in the presence of the Lord
than a century in prosperity without
Him. There are secrets of unknown
delight which can never be known
to us till we rise above, the outward
world, and come into the life of
God, which is the life of heaven.
By faith which brought us life at
the first, is the same by which we
attain to life .more abundantly.—G.
H. Spnrgeon.

When the late Frank Obanfrau
returned from California, and was
the possesor of a rang fortune, he
bought a handsome house and then
went to the warehouse in Peck Slip,
whern his father was employed as a
porter, and said, "I'd like for you to
Btep out with me for awhile.” "I
can’t,” replied the elder man; “it
isn’t the dinner hour yet, and my
employers wouldn’t like it." "Yes,
they would; they are periectly wil

his father to Yorkers, showed him
through the house, and asked him
what bethought of it. "It is a very

"Well, it is yours,” said Ghanfrau.

Edward Clarke, arohiteot of the
National Capitol, says that during
the last tea years over 100 trees,
whose trunks average one foot in
diameter, were trans planted to the
grounds about tbe Capitol. To
adapt them to removal, their roots
were cut off at a distance of three
and one half feet from the trunk.
The operation waa regarded as
hazardous, and waa characterized as
an injudicious and disastrous one.
It is now reported that all of the
trees,with two exceptions, have flour
ished and are growing more rapidly
than others in the same park.
