Mildly a gave way. It
Was ah Awful strain on strongest nerves.
Millions of people fell on their knees in
prayer. Was the world ending, or was
there some great event for which all heaven
was illuminated? For eight momentous
hours the phenomenon lasted. East, west.,
north, south, it looked as though the
heavens were in maniac disorder. Astrono¬
mers watching that night said that those
meteors started from 2200 miles above the
earth's surface and moved with ten times
the speed of a cannon hall. The owner of
a plantation in South Carolina says of that
night seene. I was suddenly awakens l by
the most distressing cries that ever fell on
my ears, Shrieks of horror and cries of
mercy 1 could heal' from most of the slaves
on three plantations, amounting in all to
about six or eight hundred. While earn¬
estly listening for tho cause I heard a faint
voice near the door calling iny name. £
arose, and taking my sword, stood at the
door. At this moment I heard the same
voice still beseeching mo to rise, nnd say¬
ing: “Oh, my God! the world Is on lire!”
I then opened tlm door, and It is difficult
to say which excited me most, the awful¬
ness of the scene or the distressed cries of
the Africans. Upwards of 100 lay prostrate
on the, ground; some speechless and some
uttering the bitterest cries, but most with
their hands raised, imploring God to save
the world and thorn. The scene was truly
awful, for never did rain fall much thicker
than the meteors fell toward the earth.
The spectacle ceased not until tlm rising
sun of the November morning eclipsed it,
and the whole American nation sat down
exhausted with the agitations of a night to
be memorable until the earth itself .shall be¬
come a falling star. The Bible closes with
such a scene of falling lights, not only
lldgety meteors, but grave old stars. St.
John saw it in prospect, and wrote: “Tho
stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as
i llg tree oaateth her untimely ilgs when
she is shaken of a mighty wind.” Wlmt a
time that will be when worlds drop. Bain
of planets. Gravitation letting loose her
grip on worlds. Constellations flying
apart. Galaxies dissolved. The great
orchard of the universe swept by the last
hurricane letting down the stars like
ripened fruit. Our oi l earth will go with
the rest, and let it go, for it will have ex¬
isted long enough to complete Its be tremend¬ enough
