A Village Overwhelmed.

A traveller in Switzland, writing to the Phil.
adelphla Evening Bulletin, gives the following
thrilling account of the destruction of the viii
age of Goldau.
Many feet under the rough rocks on which
the actual church of Godan stands, is a buried
village, which if it were rather less crushed and
ground to pieces, some 1900 years hence, might
be as curious mine for eager New Zealanders,
aa Pompeii is for US now. 1t is the older village
of the same name which in 1906 was over
whelmed by a mountain fall. Much more ter
rible the catastrophe must have been. than any
shower of si0w ashes. Though if one were to
choose his death between the two, he would
prefer annlhilation by a flying boulder to a
slower sulphurous suffocaton III his back cellar.
The mountain that did this mischief was stad,
grave pile, two miles away, and was SO little
distrused that it was covered like the rest of
chewing cows and whistug peasants. Any
geologist would have hestated to live upon it,
however, for though the whole long slope from
Gouldau to the distant summit was of firm rocks
covered by rich soil, deep underneath there was
treacherous stratum Of clay. Yielding to the
temptation of the autumn rains, this mountain
took drop too much. Tho clay became slush,
aud down the creased ways the whole vast mass
slid upon the valley. Any one who mas seen
large vessel launched can conceive, perhaps,
what impetus mass of rock, of the weight OF
millions of loaded ships, would get in sliding a
distance Of two miles down slope 5000 feet
high But it is almost impossible to conceive
of the dssolaton scattered before it. The whole
broad valley, for distance of four or five miles
and the breadth of two or three, was filed with
ghastly rubbish. The sky was utterly blackened
by clond Of flying stones and dust. High uf
the opposite side of the valley where, if natnrt
had issued tickets, a spectator would have taker
his place without hesitation 10 witness the con-
vulson, valleys of immense rocks were hurled
like grape shot, carrying all before them. The
lchureh bell of Goldau was found knocked

was remembered in connection with his serious
oss from defect in his title and for long time
afterwards he was spoken of, familiarly, among
those who knew him, as the 81 man who struck
himself"
A broad illustration this, at what is taking
place daily, in hundreds of instances, around us.
The evil thati meditated against others, usually
comes back. in some form, upon those who seek
to do their neighbors wrong. In this matter.
there is law of compensation which acts with
unerring certainty. The blow that is struck in
malice at another, may not seem TO rebound.
But as surely as it is gwen, will its power to do
harm remain unspent, until the circle of conse-
quences is ompIeted.-Nustrated .Nsps.

A Strange Phenomenon.

A NEST singular occurance happened in our
village and vicinity on Friday night, or rather
Saturday morning last. The day previous had
been clear and mild, and the evening closed in
starry and cloudless. AT about 10 o'clock the
sky became overcast and unusally darkness pre-
vailed, which continued up to the time of tho
occurrance. which was about halfpast two.
The phenomenon commenced with heavy and
distant runbllng sound beneath, somewhat like
distant thunder, except that it was more smoth-
ered which rapidly approached and increased
to a climax, and then recedsd and died away.
The roar as 1t approached was interrupted by
one grand explosion louder than the loudest
thunder, and by series Of reports less loud
and less defined the whole ending with the same
heavy rumbling with which it commenced. The
only intelligent description that can be given Of
the sounds is, that it was terrible and appalling.
MANY, who we're awakened by it from their sleep,
pronounced it unearthly. From the first, trem-
ulous motion was communicated to the earth,
causing rattling of the windows, which in
creased with the roar to such an extent that the
buildings were violently shaken, displaclng
furniture, rafting dishes, &c. The motion was
sufficient to cause the bell in the church to strike
nine or ten times. The academy bell rung also,
though lower down, and in position to be less
affected by the vibratory motion of the earth.
Some who were standing in their houses at
the time of the shock, say that in the height Of
it, it was quite impossible to stand unasssted.
In one instance a chimney was thrown down.
In stone and brick buildings the effect was
greater and more threatening. Our villagears
we're everywhere aroused and many rushed into
the streets, each supposing that his neighbours
house was being overthrown by some violent
explosion.
III other places, in peculiar directions, the
shock and reports seemed equally or moro severe
and terrific. Mr. Calvin Wakefield, candid
man of undoubted veracity, living some six
miles east Of here, says that the shock threw
several stones from his cellar wall.
4 The whole occurrence was sa.a to have been
Itru,y fearful in that eqauoc. Neigh1lrs rushed
wildly to distant neighbors, to meet them' IN
turn seel i,g some friendly sympathy Or Preottec-
I,;o, An .oacurred in believing that some d're
I;mnend;ua evil threatened their sure destruction

Twas slmmer-glorious summer
And the wild birds song was hushed;
The daylight's last faint gmmer,
On the closing violet blushed.
The bright green corn was rustling
In the PLEASANT evening breeze,
O'er the telds If cotton waving,
Gently signing through the trees.
And there was an eye meier sumbered,
And heart that knew no JOY,
'Twas poor slave mother watching
o'er her lingering dying hoy.
Now the pale moonbeams are playing
On his dark and fevered brow,
Now the light of heaven Is strayins-
Hark he sings of freedom now
'Tis midnight, and the dew is falling
Heavy on the sumberne rose;
And the mother lone is pleading
For her infants last repose,
Now his bosom IS gently heavng,
While he waves hi, tiny hand,
As his splits slowly passing
TO holier, happier land.
,rwas su summer-gorious iummer!
But the slave-child's voice is hushed,
AMI the mig thirds song Is grimuer,
O'er the tomb where volets blushed

A PERSIAN FABLE.

A little plrticle of rain,
That from passing cloud descended
Was heard thus idly to complaint
. My brief existence now is ended,
Outcast alike Of earth and sky,
Useless to live, unknown to die"
It CHANGED to fall into the sea,
And there an open shell received 1t
In after years, now rich was he
Who from its prison house relieved it
The drop of rain had formed gem,
TO deck a mOnarch's diadem.
