the loan of two dollars. He said that he was

than he had anticipated, had spent all his
money, and, if would furnish him with

in similar manner. This led me to think he
might be rogue, for | had furnished him with

TIE STORM. The furious tempest which
was experienced by the Great Western, on
the 10Th ult., on her late passage to New
York, and which has been SO graphically
described by the passengers, was felt by other
vessels in different parts Of the Atlantic
between NovaScotia and the English Channel,
and has caused a great many disasters.
Several vessels have already been spoken with
since the gale, dismasted.
AT Newfoundland the gale blew a hurricane
the 10Th, goth & DIST, & caused great destruc-
ton to life and property. Many buildings
were blown down in St. Johns, and several
persons were killed Or badly injured by the
falling timbcrs. Several bridges were carried
away. Fatal accidents have happened to the
shipping on the coast. One boat, with a
crew ~ofseven persons, upset in running for
the harbor, and all were lost. At other parts
of the coast the destruction Of life and proper
ty is also appalling. At Quidi Vide, a loss of
no less than G10OO falls, on poor fishermen,
the proceeds of whose summers labor were
destroyed in a few hours. At Crates Cove,
in Trinity Bay, about 20 fishing skitls lay at
anchor, and GO Of them were totally wrecked
and lost. In addition to the great loss Of
skifS and loads Of fish and oil, the poor peoples
fishing stages & flakes were destroyed. They
are likely to suffer much from the want Of food
and clothing in the course Of the coming
winter.-J0urndL.

THE WARS OF THE GREAT POWERS OF
THE EARTH.-It is a singular fact that, not
outstanding the general principles of the age
arc in favor Of peace and closer commercial
relations, four Of the greatest nations of the
earth, though on terms Of amity with each
other, yet are each at the present moment,
engaged in war on the soil of other countries.
England, France, Russia, and the United
States, whose united armies, fleets, and wealth,
would suffice to conquer or purchase the
remaining portions of the globe, are severally
carrying IN aninvasive warupon governments
inferior to themselves in power and means of
defence. England wages her war ofconquest
in Hindoostan and South Africa; France sends
her armies to Algiers and the islands of the
Pacific Russia pours her myriads of troops
through the dcflcs Of Circassia while the
United States encircles Mexico and her
provinces by sea and by land.-M Y. Herald.

arc admirable, and supply deficiency
which has long been felt in our Elcmenta-

thc book of Nature fair has bccn too little
studied, and our children and youth, cons
srqucntly, nay, our grown up men, though
living and moving i'll the midst Of the most
surprising wonders, neither heed ror feel
any interest in them, because they have
not the most elementary knowledge to
serve as first step to excite their atten.
tion, or guide their observations. This
state of things need no longer, and we
hope will no longer, continue. DR. Ru-
schcnbcrgcr has imposed new duty upon
every intelligent and faithful teacher of

BREAD FROM HEAvEx.--A very
singular event is said to have oc-
Cured in the Pachalic of Anatolia,
in Asia Minor. They were star
wing at that place for want Of food.
and an extraordinary interposition
of Providence had been manifested
in their behalf. A glutinous SUBJ
stance or mamma, of which they
make bread, has fallen in immense
quantities in a district of that
country. This food is selling pub
licly at It's per quarter. This is
stated in letter from Smyrna,
dated March 7, 1916, received in
papers by the steamer, which, il
true, will create a great sensation
in the religious world, being an
event similar to the raining of
mamma to the starving Israelitcs in
the desert.

one Of unexampled uniavorable-

heavy rains that prevailed for the

with unusual cold have prevented
the farmers from obtaining stands
Of cotton. The seed have mostly
