WATER SPoUTs ON THE LAKE.-Several o.
these remarkable phenomena have recently
been seen upon Lake Ontario. two of which
were visible at Sodus Point They are dense
conicalshaped columns, and formed a contin.
uous line from the Lake to the clouds. One oI
them the largest which was nearly thirty
feet in dameterl, was precipitated against
the bluffs and broke with a deafening noise
upon the rocks below, causing so great a
commoton of the waters that large quanti-
ty of logs and lumber we're torn from their
noorings and washed far out into the Lake
The smaller of the two pursued its terrific
and onward course as far as the eye could
reach filling the beholders with wonder and
astouishment, and awaking such feeling ol
grandeur and sublimily they stood almost
mute and statute-like, until the sound of this
giganaic column OF water died far away in the
distance. A portion of the pier of the light.

considerable damage was done 10 the light

in amazement TO his fellow travellers and
said, Il have long been a student of nature,
and | am sure that the cefts and rents in

or any ordinary earthquake; for, by such a

ding to the veins, and where it was weakest

81 have observed to have been done in other
rocks when separated or broken after an earth
quake; and reason tells me it must always be
SO, But it is quite otherwise here; for the
rocks are split athwart and across the veins

and therefore" said he, 81 thank God that |
came hither to see the standing monument
of miraculous power by which God gives
evidence to this day Of the divinity ofChrist."

License Victims.
BY MRS. L. 3. ADAMS.

Within hut obscure and lone
Was heard a woman's plaintive moan,
A low, sad, agonizng prayer
Rung out upon The midnight air.
Unmindful of The midnight storm,
Beneath the caves a crouching form.
Shrank in the gloom, as if 'twere sin
10 list that pleading voice within.
A pale young mother knelt 10 pray
For hi M who should have been her stay;
Whose broken vows and bghted name
Were now her heritage Of shame.
Her lips had lost their losy hue,
Her soft eyes once SO bright and blue,
Were dim with tears; and in her soul
Was grief that would not brook control.
Nov by the lghtning's itful CLEAN,
As in some ghastly, haunting dream,
That shrinking guilty one might see
Those thin hands clasped in agony.
He heard that prayer! for him, for him!
For his dear sake those eyes were DIM
Aud he who cursed at morning there,
Now wept to hear her midnight prayer!
So strong, so pleadiugly it rose,
Forgetlul Of all selfish woes,
1t see mod to reach the Fathers throne,
For Lin, for him, the abandon'd ons!
Beside her starving babes she bent,
Their tresses with her tears besprent,
Their ashen lips and cheeks so white,
lie saw them by the lighinng's light.
Yes, even drunkard's heart may melt!
One moment more, and 10 he knelt
Beside the kneeling mother there,
And Joined with hers his midnight prayer! {
How bright the bows expanding form

How pure hopes kinding watch fires burn,

o night of hope! o day Of Joy.
One hour can all thy bliss destroy,
Long as the guefuI tempter stands
With License in his impious hands
License TO brand that manly face
With shame at manhoOd's deep disgrace!
License to linge that blush Of shame
With iniamy's undying flame!
License the frenzed mind TO scourge,
To tortured reasons utmost verge!
License, o God. thine image fair,
To blast and stamp the demon there!

HEARTS HISTORY.


bI ROBERT JossrLYN.
Once upon time a maiden
Sat beneath hawthorn tree,
And her lover close beside her,
Murinered VOWS Of constanoy.
Fairer, swceter than the blossom
Hanging over her was she,
And her heart within her bosom
Throbbed aud glowed tumultuously,
Both were young and fond and foolish.
Neither rich, the story poes.
Ma was proud and Pa was mulish,
Great their loves and great their woes:
So they kissed, and wept and parted,
Swearing 10 be ever true
Died the maiden broken heartfelt
Was the lover faithful too7
Pshaw! she wed wealthy banker,
ISLANDER whispered, she was sold)
And no city danes out-rank her,
With her pockets full of gold;
Queen at every ball and party,
Decked with lace and jewels rare,
Looking very fresh and hearty,
Reigns the victim Of despair.
He-confounded lucky fellow
Took widow twice his years,
Fat and forty, ripe and mellow,
With a brace of"little dears;
Big plantation, servants plenty,
Splendid m minsion, pomp aud ease,
Cured the boyish love oftwenty,
That incurable disease.
Learn from this, you do,ing lover,
Inyoar anguish, not TO break
Anything OF greater value
Than the promises you make;
Hearts were made 10 put In motion

large hotel, in Albany, was annoyed by the
showing off of some of the members Of the
Assembly who kept calling each from their
respective counties, after this fashion:

the huge darkey waiter:

in double quick time.
