THE TEMPEST.

UY (iEO. P PRENTICE.
I was never a man of feteblc courage.
There are few i&Wes of either human
or elenip^itar^_strife upon which I have
not looked with, a otovy of dannt'. I
have stood in fi'obt of battle, when
swords w’pre gleaming and doling
around tne like fiery serpbnts of the air
—I have sat on the moutitain pinnacle,
when the whirlwind was rending
its oaks from rocky clefts and scattering
them piecemeal to the clouds. I have
seen those things with a swelling soul
that reeked not of danger—but there is
something in the thunder voice that
makes me tremble like u child. I have
tried t-o overcome this unmanly weak
ness —I have moral courage In the les
sons of philosophy—but it avails me
nothing—at the first low meanings of
the distant cloud my heart sinks and
dies within me.
My involuntary dread of thunder,
has its origin in an incident that oc
curred when 1 was a child of ten years.
I had a litile cousin—a girl of the same
age of myself, who had been the con
stant companion of my childhood. —
Strange that alter the lapse of a score
of years, that countenance is so familiar
to me. I can see the bright, young
creature —her large eyes flashing like a
beautiful gem, her free locks streaming
as in joy upon the rising gale, and her
cheek glowing like a ruby through a
wreath of transparent snow. Her voice
hud the melody and joyousness of a
bird’s, and when she bounded over
wooded hill or the fresh green valley,
shouting a glad answer to every voice
of nature and clasping her little hands
in the very ecstacy of young existence,
she looked as if breaking away like a
freed nightingale from the earth, and
going off where all things were beauti
ful and happy like her.
It was u morning in the middle of
August. The little girl had been pass
ing some days at my father’s house, and
she was now to return bomb. Her path
lay across the fields, and 1 gladly be
came the companion of her walk. I
never knew a summer morning more
beautiful and still. Only one little
cloud was visible, and that seemed as
pure and white, and peaceful, as if it
had been the incense from a burning
t censer of the skies. The leaves hung
silent in the woods, the waters of the
hay had forgotten their undulations, the
flowers were bending their heads as if
dreaming of the rainbow, and the whole
atmosphere was of such a soft and lux
urious sweetness, that it seemed a cloud
of roses, scattered down by the hands
of a Leri from the far-off gardens of a
Paradise. The green earth and the
blue sea were abroad iu their boundless
ness, and the peaceful sky bent over and
blessed them. The little creature at my
side was in a delirium of happiness, and
her clear, sweet voice came ringing up
on the air as often as she heard the
tones of a favorite bird, or found some
strange or lovely flower in her frolic
wanderings. The unbroken and almost
supernatural tranquillity of the day con
tinued until nearly noon. Then, for
the first time, the indications of an ap
proaching tempest were manifest. Over
the summit of a mountain at a distance
of about a mile, the folds of a dark
cloud became suddenly visible, and at
the same moment a hollow roar came
down upon the winds, as it were the
sound of waves in a rocky Cavern. The
cloud unrolled like a banner-fold upon
the air, but still the utmosphere was
calm and the leaves as motionless as be
fore; t’neie was not even a quiver upon
the sleeping waters to tell of the coming
hurricane. • To escape the tempest was
impossible.
As the only resort, we fled to an oak,
that stood at the foot of a tall, and rag
ged precipice. Here we remained and
gazed almost breathless upon the clouds,
marshalling themselves like bloody gi
ants in the sky. The thunder was not
frequent, but every burst was so fearful
that the young creature, who stood
by me, shut her eyes convulsively,clung
with a desperate strength to my arm.
and shrieked as if her heart would break.
A few minutes and the storm was upon
us. During the height of its furv. the
little g”l luted her finger toward the
precipice that towered above us. 1
looked up ; an auiothestine flame was
quivering upon its gray peaks, and the
next moment the clouds opened, the
rocks tottered to their foundation, a
roar like the groan of a universe filled
the air, and 1 felt myself blinded and
thrown L know not whither. How long
I remained insensible I cannot tell; but
when consciousn ss returned, the vio
lence of the tempest was abating; the
roar of the winds dying in the tree tops,
and the deep tones of the thunder com
ing in fainter murmurs from the eastern
hills.
I arose, and looked trembling and
almost deliriously around. She was
there —the idol of my infant love—
stretched out upon the wet, green earth
I Alter a moment of irresolution, I went
up and looked upun her. The handker
chief upon her neck was slightly rent
and a single dark spot on her bosom told
where thu path of death had been. At
first I clasped her to my breast with a
cry of agony and then laid her down
and gazed into her face almost with a
leeliug of calmness. Her bright dishev
elled ringlets clustered sweetly around
her brow, the lojk of terror trad faded
from her lips, and an infant smile was
pictured beautifully there —the red rose
tinge upou her cheeks was lovely as iu
j life, and as I pressed it to say own the
fountain of tears opened, and 1 wept as
if my head were waters. I have but a
dim recollection of what followed —I
CALHOUN, GA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1871.
only know that I remained weeping and '
that l was taken tenderly by the hand,
and led away where I saw the counte
nance of parents and sisters.
Many yenrg have gone by on their
wings of light and shadow, but the scene
I have portrayed still comes over me* at
times with a terrible distinctness. The
oak*yet stands at the base of the predu
pice; its limbs are black and dead, and
its hollow trunk, looking upwards to the
sky as if calling to the clouds for drink
is an emblem of rapid and noiseless de
eay. A year ago. I visited that spot,
and the thought of bye gone years came
mournfully back to me—thoughts of
the little innocent being who fell by
the whirlwind—in the memory that she
had gone where no lightnings slumber
in the folds of the rainbow clouds, and
where the sunlit waters are never broken
by the stonn-breath of Omnipotence.
My readers will understand why I
shrink in terror from the thunder.—
Even the consciousness of security is
no relief for me- my fear has assumed
the nature of instinct, and seems, iudeed,
a part of my existence.
Comets.
[From Ibe Scientific American.
The approach of Enck’s comet to the
field of our vision will give interest to
a few remarks on these remarkable and
eccentric bodies. Their extraordinary
appearance caused them to be regarded
in ancient times with superstitious ter
ror. and as prognostications of war and
other great disasters. Their ominous
aspect is.lightened by their visiting our
part of the heavens from all directions,
and crossing the usual west to cast
course of the planets at all possible an
gles. Moreover, the train of faint light
which they leave behind them is a sub
stance so extremely thin that the small
est stars may be seen through it; and
it is so slightly ponderable that the prox
imity of a comet of 200,000,000 miles
in length seldom disturbs the equilib
rium of any body near which it may
happen to pass.
But that it has weight we have evi
dence, for the velocity of comets dimiu
ished, a fact which also determines that
the ether of illimitable space is a resist
ing medium, sensible to a body of such
inappreciable tenuity. However, the
matter in a comet is so small in weight
that the comet of 1770 was involved, as
it were, among Jupiter’s satellites for
some months, without any disturbance
of either to the slightest degree. The
comet of the year 1770 is an acception
to this rule. In that year it was seen
to be moving in the usual elliptical or
bit, having a period of 51 years. But
on calculating its time, astronomers
found that it had passed near the planet
Jupiter, the attractions of which im
mense body had disturbed its course to
a remarhahle degree, and this accounted
for its being unrecognized by the scien
tific world, its period, previous to the
perturbation, having been 58 years. It
Returned to the sun in 1776, but was
not visible to us. Again in 1779, it was
so attacked by the same planet that its
orbit was changed into one of 1G years,
with a perihelion, or nearest to the sun.
distance of 300,000.000 miles: and it
has never since come to our view. The
period of revolution of Enck’s comet
lias diminished, by about 3 days, in 80
years, that is, in about 25 revolutions.
The great discovery that led to a com
prehension of the nature of the orbits
of comets was made by Dr. Halley, that
eminent astronomer asserting that the
great comet of the year 18G2 was iden
tical with those of 1G07,1531, and 1456,
and foretelling its reappearance in 1759.
It was retarded, however, between one
and two years, and reappeared in 1835.
It’s next visitation will be in the year
1912, or thereabouts. History men
tions appearances of this comet as far
back as the year II B. C.
There is little reason to doubt that
the earth passed through the tail of the
comet of 1862. Mr. J. R. Hind, the
astronomer Royal, predicted that the
transit would take place on Sunday,
June 30, of that year, and Mr. Lowe,
another English astronomer, reports,
that, on the evening of that day, “ the
sky hacLa yellow auroral, glare like look ;
and the sun, though shining, gave but
feeble light. The comet was plainly
visible at 7:46 p. m. during the sun
shine, while on subsequent evenings it
was not seen till an hour later. In the
parish church, the vicar had the pulpit
candles lighted at 7 o’clock, which
proves that a sensation of darkness was
felt even while the sun was shining.—
The comet itself had a much more hazy
appearance than at auy time after that
evening.”
The comet of Encke, as above stated,
has a period of about 3f years. It
passes nearest to the sun at a distance
of 32,000.000 miles, about the radius
of the orbit of Mercury. Its greatest
distance from the center of the solar
system is 386,000,000. It will reach
its perihelion in January next, but will
be visible through |a telescope some
months before that time. The appear
ance of a comet in our heavens is usu
ally accompanied by a high tempera
ture of the. weather.

Impartiality iti tlui Lodge* »
We suppose it is human, because it is
so cdrbtuori, for men to show partiality
between the rich and the poor—the
great and the small—the itrongand the
weak This feeling, however, should
have no place in a Mason id lodge. On
her.chcqtiered floor ifaiuls like
adamant, facing the Wrning prejudices
of‘bur nature and demands in the name
of God and tbs brotherhood perfect
and absolute impartiality. It is a crime
against the principles of tire institution
to bend the laws irr favor of the identi
ential, and yet execute them against the
humble and helpless. We hav been
present sometimes when we thought
this wrong was committed while the list
of u delinquents ” was being called off,
by seeing how certain parties were ex
cused. and others held to account. Our
sympathies are instinctively with the
poor and humble brother, who, toiling
through the year, is hardly able to make
ends meet, yet, who stints himself to
meet his obligations, because he loves
the principles of the institution, and
whose hand is ever open to the poor and
needy. When we see him iu arrears,
we go through the calendar of his slim
income and the many detna'nds on it.—
If he is a sober and honest craftsman,
we want to see him excused, if he asks
it, and if htf fails to get his notice, give
him further time. We love to see a
lodge appreciate such cases and act
manly on them, and not deal any more
severely with them than with Bro.
Dives, “who has probably forgotten”
that he is undar obligations to the fra
ternity. We cannot always judge by
appearances either. Sitting one even
ing in the lodge, wo noticed a brother
whose outward appearance, both of per
son and dress, suggested to us that
“ there is a man who certainly does not
understand Masonry beyond the idea of
an old association.” Wo made up our
mind to tost the case. When opportu
nity offered, we took a seat beside him,
and as the work on the degree progressed,
we watched his face as it lit up when
fine lessons were correctly and well ex
pres-ed, and saw him frown wh.cn they
were mangled. • We could hear him cor
recting the officers in half audible tones.
A case came up foi charity in behalf of
a widow and her children. Her hus
band had never - known want —in fact,
had been very well off during life—but
through a long sickness ami disastrous
circumstances, all was Wt except a lit
tle which was soon consumed after his
death. llis wife had never done any
work, and was therefore doubly helpless.
A member heard of it and brought in
her claim. A certain other member of the
Pharisee sort rose and opposed the ap
propriation with sundry remarks, among
which he said that the widow by hard
work could support herself, and further,
that if her husband had acted prudently,
ho could have left her well off, Ac. We
could see the blood boiling up in the
veins of the humble brother beside us,
and as soon as the other was through,
he, in a very few practical words, settled
the case. He said no widow should be
Held responsible for the imprudence, of
her lj,usband, and it was no crime of
lrnrs that she had been born rich and
had learned no occupation, and that the
litHe children were wards of the lodge,
to be looked after by the brethren, and
for one he would vote ali that was neces
sary, &e. The vote was taken and the
appropriation carried unanimously, and
the widow and children provided for
without even knowing how it came
about.
There was an exemplification of a
Masonic heart under a Masonic educa
tion triumphing over all the prejudices
of class, and demonstrating that grand
impartiality which should ever reign in
a Masonic lodge. It shows also, that
we cannot always judge the human
heart and mind by outward appear
ances, for here was a brother whose ex
terior w*as unfavorable for him. yet he
showed a keen sense of honor and Ma
sonic magnanimity, as well as a tftonrs
ough knowledge of the work and lec
tures.

If this advice is implicitly followed
by the young men of the country, the
millenium is near at hand.
Rich Without Money.—Many a
man is rich without money. Thousands
of men with nothing in their pockets,
are rich. A man born with a good sound
constitution, a good stomach, a good
heart and good limbs, and a pretty good
head piece is rich. Good bones are bet
ter than gold, tough muscles than silver,
and nerves that flash fire and carry en
ergy to every function, are better than
houses and land. It is better than land
ed estate to have had the right kind of
father and mother. Good breeds and
bad breeds exist among men as really as

do much to check evil tendencies, or
to develop good ones, but it is a good
thing to inherit the right proportion of
faculties to start wit h. That man is rich
who has a flavor of wit and fun in his

i along with in this life is a ufan’s own

care burdened man —these are all de
formed in the inside. Their feet may
not limp, but their thoughts do. A
man of fortune, on the brink of the
grave, would gladly part with every
dollar to obtain a longer leas : of life.

Blessings in Disguise, —A man
that ne er had any troubles, I was going
to say, never had manhood. What clay
is before it is baked, that, generally, men
are before they have been baked. The
potter takes the lump, and shapes it,
and gets it into a beautiful form, [t re
sembles the vase of antiquity;. it is fair;
but what is it worth ! It is only wet
clay. It is not until it has gone into the
furnace and been burned; it is not until
it has pictures wrought upon it, and
been glazed, and been put into the fur
nace again ; it is not until it has gone
into the fire three, four, five, six times,
and been burnished by the hard steel
tool of the workman', that it comes out,
not only beautiful in look, but permanent
in form, decorated, and with tints laid
in upon it. And many persous can look
back and see that the troubles which
they have gone through have been God s
fashioning or adorning hand—certainly
God’s gracious hand. —Henry Ward
Beecher.
Shut Your Moutii !—This is a
rather strong phrase, but analyzed it is
a very important one. Pulmonary weak
ness, loss of teeth, dyspepsia, proneness
to infectious diseases—all, we have been
told, may be charged upon the habit of
inhaling through the mouth —and an
open mouth is not only cause of disease,
but a sign of weakness, and shows a
very wuveriug character. Therefore,
you who would keep your lungs free
from the organic dust in the atmosphere,
shut your mouth, and render yourself
less liablo to infectious diseases. If you
would keep your lungs healthy, your
teeth good, your digestion excellent, shut
your mouth. Then .there is often a moral
safety in keeping one’s mouth shut.
You may thereby think twice before you
speak once, and often put a padlock up
on an unruly tongue. When children
were childven, which is not often the
case now. the advice was most valuable.
