About tho Earthquake.
There in no much earthquake litera
ture in Hie dailies tlmt tvo llllVo bfell nt
» loan how to servo up a dish of it to our
readers, iu order to give those who de
pend upon the Monitor for the news, u
proper idea of the great catastrophe,
without giving it mote npnee thnu enn
possibly be devoted to it. If wo should
nttoinpt to give nil that Imshcen printed
about it, wo should fill our columns with
tho nocount, for tho nest three months.
And yet it is duo to onr readers that wo
give them as succiuot nn account of tho
extraordinary phenomenon its wo can.
On tho R1 -it of August, old mother
onrlli was plodding along in its accus
tomed course, making its nenll diurnnl
revolutions on its nxin, and'its annual
circuit around tiio sun, in oH/ulienoo In
the laws given it six thousand years ago
by tho Creator. Us inhabitants, in fan
cied security, wore pursuing tho even
tenor of their ways, forgetful of their iu
flnito nothingness, self-reliant, arrogant
porhnpH, and unmindful of their ooutin
iiul dependence upon Him who holds
them in the holllow of His band.
, Suddenly a change oomes. Tho fin
ite of an angry God touches tho earth.
reels to and fro like a drunk
en man. Tho continent trembles like
it rmid shaken by the wind, lu sixty
seconds a proud city is in ruins, many of
its populace iu the throes of death. A
a million cheeks are blanched with fear.
Tlui ground is rout, mid tlui crevices
pour forth sand, and mud, and water. A
sickening sulphurous vapor threatens
with pestilence those w ho have escaped
immediate death. Trains wore thrown
from the track and tho engineers nud
tirenuMi killed. Tho telegraph wires
were broken, and sot a day and night
the fate of Charleston was a sealed book
to the Imlunce of the world.
Tho centre of the disturbance seems to
liavo been near Summerville, S. C., a
small town about 26 miles inland from
Charleston, where the ground is fuil of
cracks aud fissures, from some of w hich
ixstlc saud mud and water, while others
are dry crevices. One of the latter is
said to bo sixteen feet wide and bottom
less to all appearances.
Whether the realcenterof the disturb
ance was there, or whether it was only
appurautly so, from the soft and suscept
ible nature of the grouud, is not known.
Certainly the greatest effect was there,
but the cause may have boeu a hundred
miles away. All that section of country
from a point below Augusta to Charles
ton, is one vast scene of devastation and
destruction. The people of Charleston
have beeu liviug in tents and in the
open air, ever since tho catastrophe,
being afraid to occupy their shattered
and tottering houses. Nine-tenths f
the houses in the city are injured, and
two thirds of them are said to bo un
tenable. The damage is estimated at
eight millions of dollars. Summerville
is a total wreck.
The shock was felt all over the conti
nent—from Carolina to Calif >rnia, and
from Maiue to Mexico. Outside of Smith
Carolina, the greatest efloets were f> It at
Augusta Ga., Raleigh X, C., and Mem
phis Teuo. It was not so severe at in
termediate points, but tl-.e whole North
American continent was shaken. What
a wonderful force it reqnir. .1!
Since the first sh :k mi the night of
tho 31st of August, other and lighter
ones have been felt st Charleston and
vicinity alums; every day, s -inctiines
uiiioy times a day. Many houses that
were almost shaken down by the first
shock have succumbed to the lighter ones
that have followed.
Almost every city and important towv
in the country, thankful for their own
nifty, have with a chanty uuparuivlhd,
made large and genorons donations of
money anil means of comfort for tho
homeless and .suffering people of “tin
city by the sea;" lint it is impossible in
the nature of things that there should
not be great mid widespread suffering
that cannot be reached and relieved.
The cause of the earthquake is a m.at
t< rof speculation. There are scientific
men there upon the ground, who main
tain that it was a slip or sliileof the land
toward the sea; others hold that it was
of volcanic origin. Whatever was the
means employed, one thing is sufficient
ly certain: ft was the work of God.

Ala'-cnry.
At this time Grecian mythology ab
sorbed the rulo of action and thought,
nud npriori, knowledge of God was only
kept alive by these ceremonies. There
are but f v nmcoi. ; of to-day that recog
nise in tho Craftsman any of tlieso old
ceremonies, yet they urn here, and ’tis
here the spark was kept, to he blow n
into a Came iri a,- a to come.
The difference of ceremonies between
tLese soeietic i, was perhaps mere strik
ing to tho idolatrous, than the true.
Thus saciificis iu honor of Ceres, were
on a large scale, and magnificent in con
struction, and formed a parallel with the
rites of idolaters in their worship. Here
we lose sight, in a groat measure, of any
historic account, (if weexcept mythology)
of the doings of many things. Ev,;u
the name and woisdiip of the great God
is nearly lost. But Christ comes to our
relief and the Word is again here; about
the fith century A. 1). Theodosius the
Great, nearly extinguished the Pagan
Theology of the Roman empire, hut
Paellas says that the rites of Ceres were
secretly performed up to the Bth century
A. D. And that Melampus carried the
mysteries of Bacchus from Egypt to
Greece is certain, for here we fiud the
sixth day of tho festival tho most bril
liant, and the journey from Athens to
Eleusis, whs grand beyond description,
particularly on the return.
Plutarch informs ns that Isis and Osiris
are the sumo ns Ceres and Bacchus, anil
all these only another name for Pamylin
of Egypt.
About 200 years after Christ, a licen
tious priest came from Greece to Tuscany
and instituted the ISiiriiiiinalin. And
from Tuscany it was carried lo Rome,
and here, in the fifth century, these and
the Essenos were abolished by imperial
| decroes. And now if we pursue these
investigations we shall get into tile dark
ages, yet I will try.
That, Herod the king belonged to the
society of the Eiscfiys is not doubled
hv theologians, and tho calling of the
wise men from the east on him it well un
derstood to have a deep meitping, such
us the Esseuos were wont to practice,
and that glory beaming star moving in
tho true direction and resting over the
glorious Balio, shows an emblem that
masons revere. Matthew bills, in liis
own way, that tho sign was correct, and
truly answered by tho wise men return
ing a different way to mock the vile
Herod, and cause him to complete the
sign by sending his men of war on n
foolish errand. This failed to aeeom
plish the design of Herod and both Christ
and John wero preserved, hut to this
day the vulgar are in ignorance ns to
how John escaped. Yet tho society to
which tho w: c men ! elnnged know how,
when and where John, and others were,
and that the wise men understood that a
way was laid open for Christ and John,
is known since the track of the wise men,
which was followed by Joseph and Mary,
is shown in Isiitli and Esther, and other
places in the Old Book. And again, the
sigu given by tin- v ise iuon in present
ing tho gifts is well understood by any
intelligent Craftsman.
And again, in Joseph’s return to his
native place, here we, that are true
Craftsman, see the point, and yet, this
simple thing is so veiled iu allegory, that
the vulgar gaze with wonder, and even
doubt, aud deny that we see anything
I Gaze on, ye .•tcofrrs, and we will make
I merry at your is.credulity.
The hewers of wood in the mountains
j instituted oue of our principal signs,
and they did it iu turning the log. Are
■ you uot glad that 1 have told you one of
onr signs? Yes, I know you are. Aud
now, that you have oue, you certainly
| (if yon are smart,) can soon learn the
! others and be a Craftsman without- pay
ing for instruction. So you see that
; every timber cutter, in turning his log
' is a mason, to the extent of one sign.
And Solomon says if the ax is dull lay
‘on too harder, and Abraham in cutting
the wood to sacrifice bis turn shewed the
way to faith, aud ’twns but faith that
led the w ise men to the manager. Hence
Craftsman believe in the steps of Jacob’s
ladder, whore we find the first step to he
aitb, and if I should tell the vulgar that
I had given them another sign, they
would not believe it; and yet all good
and true Craftsman know full well that
I have. *\< nu 'ei/be." The order of
Odd Fellows says that a few questions
generally make right answers, and this
is trae. to the letter, except the letter
‘ (}, our starting point. And ns the
: Craftsman after getting hisbottle of wine
and his cruse of oil. plods his wnv to the
i mil! to gv* his corn gioaud, that Lc li.iy
return to make his hearth glad, let ns I
h< e how firitis to the letter (1. It is
pood, gloat, glorious God, giver of good
things, hence our labor has not been in j
vain, and if we have beeu nt a little,
trouble to arrive at u knowledge of the- j
letter f }., I hope onr labor will benefit;
us or some one else. As masons we are j
not stingy, hut willing to divide. Yet
we are tight, anil hard to get into, so 1
look ont iD my next, for tho Master Ma

Obituary.
Again death has visited the peaceful j
firsido of one of our best citizens. Lit- ’
tie Lula, infant daughter of Mrs. arid
Mr. J. N. Olferd, died on the 4th day
of the present mouth.
Itow sad it is forthe father and mother
to part with the sweet little babe! H»w
its sweet little prnttlings will ho mis-< i!
It will cause an aching void i:i the hearts j
of the bereaved parents, that the world
can never fill. But our Saviour has
taught ns that to die is gain, for He lias
said, “Softer little children to come
unto me, and folbid them not, for of
such is the kingdom of Heaven."
And went a beautiful lesson is here j
taught, that we may all become as little j
children, tied he again united with the
loved ones who liuve long since been j
seated around the throne of God.
Our days run thoughtlessly along,
Without a moan nt’s stay;
Just like a story or a sung,
Wc pass our lives away.
Soon we’ll reach the shining river;
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.
We extend onr heartfelt sympathies
to the bereaved parents. Mav God, in
His infinite mercy, ever guide and com- j
fort them in their troubles, and prepare!
and fit them forthe future storms of life, j
is tho prayer of one who loves them. |

How to Aiivc rtisc.
At contemporary in somo “hints on
advertising,”says:“Anotherthing which
publishers have to contend with is that
tho results of Hitvertiaiuff are not always
visible to patrons, many of whom can
nut understand why custom cannot he
directly traced to the source where they
expend their money to obtain it. Busi
ness is like a river with many tributaries,
md in which it is impossible to trace
every individual drop of water to the
-pring from whence it came. But if
a journal is sel.-eUd for advertising pur
posed that reaches time unit again the
persons most likely to he interested iu
the solicitation, that paper is certainly
a mire fountain In-ad of profitable trade
in tho st ion in of patronage far below.
Temporary advertisements in a small
wav will not produce an immediate or
permanent increase of business any in ore
t.l an a light shower will affect the depth j
of water in r. well, but by persistency in i
the use of printer's ink iu the right di
rection the results sought will be gained
in the cud with interest.”
Magnitude of the Heavenly Abode.
•*Did yon ever read the 16th verse of
the 21st chapter of Revelations. No?
well, read it unil you will get some inter
esting figures about the world above the
skies. It gives the dimension of Heaven,
nud reads this way: ‘And he measured
the city, with a reed, 12,000 furlongs.
The length and the breadth and the
height of it are equal.’ ”
“Have you ever made the calcula
tion?”
•<Yes, here it is now;” aud he handin',
the reporter the following:
“Twelve thousand furlongs equal 7,
920,000 foot, which, being cubed, is LG, .
793.088.000,000.000,000 cubic feet. Re-:
serving one-half iff this space for Un
throne ami court of Heaven, aud half
the balance for streets, wo have tho re
mainder 124.198,272,000,000,000,000 cu
bic feet. Divide this by 4.000, tho cu
bic feet in a ro. >n sixteen feet square,
and there will be 30,321.843.753,000,000
rooms. Now, suppose the world always
did and always will lioid, 900,000,000
inhabitants aud that a generation lasts
thirty-three nud one-third years, making:
in all 2,070.009,000,000 inhabitants every
century, and that the world will stand,
190,000,000 years, ur 1.000 centuries,
making in all 2.0 1 0,000,000,000 inhabi
tants. Then suppose there were 100
worlds equal to this iu tbunntrberof the
iuhabitauts and duration of years, muk
iug a total of 2,979,000,0000:000,000 per
sons. and there would be more than a
hundred rooms sixteen feet square lor
each person.
