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. CORRESPONDENCE. 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 son nrfd some of hia secrets. Respectfully, Resesdie. | 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. | B. & C. 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.
