GBoite MistcIlmgg,
EARTHQUAKE IN THE MoLUCCAs.

The Indian mail brings advices of
another of Iho-e dreadful earthquakes for
which Ternati and the adjoining 10 ali
ties in the Molsccas are proverb;al. An
eruption of the active volcano on The is
land Of Great Sangir, in Ion :. 1876 50 E.,
and 8 so N, has occurred. The north
western part of the island of Great Sin
cir is formed by the mountain Awu,
which has several peaks, the highest be-
ing about 1000 feet above the sea. On
the west side the mountain runs very
steep into the sea, at the height of The
large village Kandhar, however, falling
away to low promontOry.
Between seven and eight o'clock on
the evening of the Cd of March, a sud-
den and altogether indescribable crashing
noise was heard, which, indicating to the
Sangirese an eruption of the volcano, fill
ed them with CONSERVATION. Simultane-
ously with this, the glowing lava stream
ed downwards with irresistible force in
different directions, bearing Whit what
ever it encountered on its destructive
course, and causing the sea to boil
wherever they came in contact. The
hot spring opened up and cast out a flood
of boiling water, which destroyed and
carried away what the fire had spared.
The sea obedient to an unusual impulse,
lasbed the rocks with frightful violence,
dashed upon the shore and heaved itself
with wild haste against the land as if
it strove to overmaster the fire stream.
This frightful picture of destruction,
the horror of " hich was increased by the
shrieks of men and beast, the wild roar
ing of the tempest, and the crashing of
thousands of trees torn up and carried
away, was followed, about an hour later.
bypeals of thunder which shook the ground
and deafened the ear. A black column
of stone and ashes then shot up from the
mountain to an immense height, and fell,
illumined by the glare of the lava, like
a shower of fire upon the surrounding
country below, producing a darkness
that, only now and then momentarily
broken by the flashes of lightning, was
so intense that people could not diScer n
AFFECTS close at hanl and which compile
ted their confusion anl dispair. Large
stones were hurled through The air,
crushing whatever they fell upon. Houses
and crops which had not been destroyed
by fire, sunk and disappeared beneath
the ashes and stones, and the hill streams,
stopped by these barriers, formed lakes,
which, breaking over their banks, soon
proved a new source of destruction.
Ti.is lasted SOM. hours. About mid
night the ra aging elements sank to rest
but on the following day about noon,
they again resumed their work of destrue
tion, with renewed violence. In the
meantime, the iall of ashes continued

CHEERFULNEss.-A woman may be of
great assistance 10 her husband, in busi-
ness, by wearing cheerful smile contin-
ua'ly upon her countenance. A mans
perplexilies and gloominess are increased
a hundred fold VIII n his better half
moves ab.ut with a continual scrowl upon
her brow, A pleasa t, cheerful wife is
a rainbow set in The sky when her hus-
bands mind is tossed with storms and
tempests; but dissatisfied and fretful
wife in the hour of trouble is like one Of
those 6ends who delight to torture lost
spirits.

without intermission, and was so thick
on this day that the rays of the sun could
not penetrate through it, and an appal,
ling darkness prevailed.
Scarcely recovered in some degree
from their fright, the inhabitants Of this
dcsolated part of Sansir were again dis
turbed by an eruption on the I?h Of
March, which desloyed many fields and
a great number OF trees On the Tabukan
side.
Since then this volcano has remained
quiet, and the only symptom of its work
ing he's been the smoke rising up in all
directions from cracks and assures in the
ground. The streams of lava on the
slopes are still so slightly cooled, people
dare not venture to any great distance
from the shore. According TO the ac-
counts Of the natives the top Of the noun
tain does not appea, to have undergone
any noticeable alteration.
On the other side of Kandhar, on the
extreme north point of the island, the
appearance of the devastation which has
been caused, is, if possible. even more
frightful than what has taken place al
Taruna. For here, where formerly there
were to be seen extensive fields bearing
all kinds of crops, and thickly planted
and endless groves of cocoa nuts, we
now find nothing but lava, stones and
ashes. The liquid fire seems at this
point to have flowed from the mountain
with irresistible force and in prodigious
quantity. Not only has this fearful flood
as it were, buried the whole district and
all that was upon it, but after having
caused this destruction over an extent OF
several miles, it was still powerful
enough, on reaching the shore, to form
two long tanjongs (capes) at places
where the depth of water formerly con-
sisted of many fathoms.
A number of other districts and places
have been, some wl-v-,-virsuoy ed, others
greatly injured by the FIRE.
The loss of life has been great. 1t is
estimated as follows, in the undermen-
toned districts:- Taruna, men, women
and children, 722; Kandhar, men, wo-
men, and children, 45; TabuSan, men,
women and children, 2,O39. Total, g.
8O6.
The greater number met their death
in the gardens. They fled in all direc-
lions, but were overtaken and swallowed
up by the fatal fire. stream. Some tried
10 save themselves in the trees, but were
either carried away with them or killed
by the scorching heat. At Kalongan
and Tariang the houses were filed with
people, who were stopped in their fight
by the lava streaming down on all sides,
and the streams of boiling water, and
who met their death under the burning
ashes, and the tumbling house. Many
who had reached the shores, and thought
themselves safe, became a prey to the
furious waves, and many died through
sheer dependency and agony.

Witty BUT WICKED. That was an
equivocal compliment which was paid to
Paul the Apostle, and to an excellent
preacher on a Mississippi steamer. A
tipSy and talkative Western man came
up to the clergyman, and delivered him

bowing ludicrously:
"How dye do, doctor? glad to see

WoMAN.--The condition of woman in
society is one of measurements of the
progress of nations; exactly as civiliza-
ton advances, does women's influence in
society increase. The equality of women
with man is q natural fact; but the two
spheres, the male and female, are so in
comparably distinct, that the equality
lies in their being a female equivalent
for every male attribute, and that female
equivalent becomes more and more per-
ceived and confessed as the world be-
comes wiser. In mans own special
sphere, woman is inferior to man; in Eo-
mans own special sphere, man is inferior
to women. The domestic sphere is FEM
mime; the political sphere is masculine.
Man is adapted by nature for continuous
labor of one kind; woman is liable to
periodical interruptions. The two spheres
are alike important and indispensable,
but they cannot be compared. 1t is fool
ish to compare the two sexes for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the superior; when
one is indispensable 10 the other, where
lies the superiority? Even if man has a
stronger head, it will not make him SUI
perior; Intellectual is not superior to mo-
raj character.

LADIES COLUMN.

ADVICE TO YOU'VE LADIEs.-Here is a
bit of advice to young ladies, setting forth
how they may know whether a young
g liant is really courting them, or only
p yng them polite attentions. The con
founding the one with the other has been
the source of much trouble, both before
and since the era Pickwick and Mrs
Rardell:
"a young man admires pretty girl,
and must manifest it. He can't help do
ing so, for the life of him. The young
lady has tender heart, reaching out
like vine tendrils for something to cling
to. She sees the admiration; is hatler-
ed; begins soon 10 love; expects some
tender avowal; and perhaps get so far
as 10 decide that she will chose ga white
satin under thin gauze," ect., al the very
moment the gallant that she half loves
is popping the question TO another damsel
ten miles off
"Now, the difficulty lies in not pre-.
cisely understanding the difference be-
tween "polite attentions and the tender
manifestations of love. Admiring beau
tiful girl, and wishing 10 make a wife Of
her, are not always the same thing; and,
therefore, it is necessary that the dam.
sci should be upon the alert to discover
10 which class the attentions paid her by
handsome and fashionable young gentle
men belong.
''First, then, if young man greets
you in loud, free and hearty tone; if
he knows precisely where to put his hat
or his hands; if he stares you straight in
the eye, with his own vide open; if he
turns his back to you to speak TO anoth-
er; ifhe squeezes your hand; if he tells
you who made his coat; if he eats heart
lily in your presence; if he fails to talk
very kindly 10 your mother; if, in short,
he sneezes when y. u are singing, criti
cises your curls, or fails to be foolish in
fifty ways every hour, then don't fall in
love with him for the world He only
admires you, let him do or say what he
will.
"Ou the o:her hand, if he be merry
with everybody else, but quiet with you;
if he be anxious to see if your tea is suf-
fcienlly sweetened, and your dear per.
son well wrapped up when you go into
the cold; if he talks very low, and never
looks you steadily in the eye if his
checks are red, and his nose only blush
es. it is enough. If he romps with your
sister, signs | Ike pair of old bellows,
look solemn when you are addressed by
another gentleman, and in fact is the
most still, aNkard, stupid, yet anxious
OF all your male friends, you may ego
ahead" and make the poor fellow too
happy for his skin 10 hold him
"Young l,dies keep your heart in a
case of good leather, or some other tough
substance, ill the "right one" is found
beyond doubt; after which you can go
and love, and court, and be married, and
hannv- without the least hit of frnnhle -
