EARTHQUAKEs. Es.-'fbere are two theories re.
spectng the cause OF earthquakes. ist. The
igneus theory; which maintains that this
earth was once molten fiery ball, and that
its interior is still a fiery mass, and is some
times caused to generate waves which pro-
duces oscillations on the earths surface
I'd. The electric theory which attributes
the shocks TO disturbed magnetic action in the
crust of the globe-that the shocks are no.
thing more than powerful electric shocks
AS earthquakes are local, those who dis,
pute the igneous theory assert that If the
interior of the earth were molten mass, and
earthquakes were caused by waves of this
fluid, then the oscillations would be felt
equally strong on every part of the earth.

"TOR EOTHEn'5 shKE."*

A father and his little son
On wintiy waves were sailing;
Fast, from their way the ligh! Of day
In cloud and gloom Yves falling;
And iercely round their little bark
The stormy winds were waiing
They knew that peril hovercd near;
They prayed, 20 heaven deliver;"
But wilder blast came bowling past,
And soon, with sob and shivcr,
They struggled in the icy grasp
Ofthat dark, rushing river.
"Cling fast to me, my darling child"
An angushed voice was crying;
While, silvery clear. DER tempest drear,
Rose softer tones, replying,
"Oh, mind not me my father dear
I'm not afraid OF dying.
"Oh mind not me. but save yourself,
For mothers sake, dear father;
Leave me, and hasten to the shore,
Or who will comfort mother?
The angel forms that ever wait,
Unseen, on man attendant,
Flew up, o'erjoyed, to heavens bright gate
And there, on page resplenGent,
High over those of heroes bold.
And martyrs famed in story.
They wrote the name Of that brave boy,
And wreathed it reuud with glory.
God bless the child AYE, he DID bless
That noble self-denial,
And safely bore him to the shore,
Through tempest, toll and trial.

TIE lIoIY LANcE.-The lance which opened
the side OF our Divine Saviour, is now kept
at Rome, but has no point. Andrew Of
Crete, who lived in the seventh century, says
il was buried together with the cross and ST.
Gregory Of Tours aud Venerable Bedo testi-
fy that in their time il was kept at Jerusa-
lem. For fear of the Saraceus, il was buried
privately at Antioch, in which city it was
afterwards found, and wrought many miracles,
as Robert the monk and many eye witnesses
testify. it was first carried to Jerusalem
and then to Constantinople, and at the time
this city was taken by the Latins, Baldwin ii.
sent the point Of it TO Venice, as a pledge
for loan Of money. St. Louis, king of
France, redeemed it, By paying the sum for
which it was pledged, and had it conveyed to
Paris, where it is still kept in the Holy
Chapel The rest Of the lance remained at
ConstantinopIe after the Turks had taken
that city TO the year 1892 when the Sultan
Bajazet sent it by an ambassador in rich
and beautiful cuse to Pope Innocent VIII,
adding that the point was in the possession
Of the king OF France

traveller Tor, at least his hand s,) as we
shall prove. A good printer will set about
5000 ems day, or about $4,000 letters
The distance travelled over by bis hand will
average about one foot per letter going to
the boxes in which they are contained, and Of
course returning, making two feet every
letter he sets. This would make distance,
each day of $4,000 feet or a little more than
nine miles and, in the course Of the year.
leaving out Sundays, the member travels
about 5000 miles.

BEAR HUNT-GES. PuTEAM OUTpoNE.-
One day last week, a large bear was seen on
the Schrader branch of the Towanda creek.
and number of hunters turned out to cap
ture bruin. He was tracked through the
snow for three days, aud finally found, &C.
curely esconsed in his den, fearful looking
cave, on the bank of the creek. All efforts
to dislodge him fom his retreat having
failed, Wm. Northrop made preparations for
"heardiug the bear in his den" Furnishing
himself with torch aud his trusty rife, and
with rope tied to one leg, Ia Putnam, to
expedite his retreat, should it be necessary,
he entered the cave. The ascent for about
eight feet, was nearly perpendicular, and
crawling about twelve feet further, the aper-
ture wdened sufficiently to admit Of his stand
ing upright. The light of his torch showed
him the bear sitting upon his launches, at
the further side of the cavern, awaiting the
attack. Aiming at the eyes, which CLEANED
from the torchligAt, be fred, and made his
exit as speedily MS possible. Having every
confidence that his aim had been true, and
the shot etiectual, in q short time he returned.
and found the animal dead A rope having
been procured aud fastened TO the bear it
was drawn out by the aid Of those outside.
He was found to be u monstrous animal,
weighing over 500 pounds.-BrG9tord Reg.
