His little son insisted upon it, at first, that he felt something warm strike through him, but became convinced at length, that it was only the natural glow of excitement and alarm, which not boys only, but boys' parents too, and else is subject to when they hear the coarse rumble, and feel the fearful vibration of an earthquake.
