On HOgsb'S rock the prophet stood

Swept by him strong and fast;
The forest fell before lite force,
The rocks were Shivered In its course
God was not in the blasti
Twas but the whirlwind Of his breath,
Announcing danger, wrecks and death.
II ceased. The air grew mute-a cloud
Came, mutlihg up the sun;
When, through the mountain, deep and loud
An earthquake thundered on;
The ffighted eagle sprang in air,
The wolf un bowling from his laiF,-
God was not tn the stun;
Twas but the rolling of his car,
The tTAmpiing Of his steeds from afar.
Twas still'again, and nature stood
And calmed her rufled frame:
When swim from heaven = fiery food
To earth devouring came;
Down to the depth the ocean Hed;
TAe siekening sun looked wan and dead;
Yet God hlled not the Aame,--
IIWae but the terror of his eye
That hghtened through the troubled sky.
At last . voice all still and small
Rose swsetly on the ear,
Yet rose % Shrill and clear, that all
In heaven and earth might hear:
II spoke Of peace, it spoke of love,
1t spoke a. angels speak above
And God Himself was there;
For oh 1t was Fathers voice, E
That bsde trembling world rejoice.

How TO FALL ASLEEP. The great
point to be gained in order to secure
sleep is safety from thought-espe-
cislly from that clinging, tenacious,
imperious thought which, in most
cases Of wakefulness, has possession
Of the mind. l always effect this
BY the following simple process: l
turn my eyeballs as far 70 the right
or left, or upwards, or downwards, as
! can without pain. and then com
mence rolling them slowly, with that
divergence from q direct line of vis-
ion. around in their sockets, and
continue doing thus until | fall
asleep, which occurs generally with.
in three minutes, and always within
five at the most. The immediate ef.
feet Of this procedure differs from
that Of any other Of which l have
ever heard. 1t does not merely d.
vert thought into a new channel, but
actually suspends it. Since I be.
came aware Of this, have endeav-
ored, innumerable times, while thus
rolling my eyes,t think upon a par
ticular subject, and even upon that
which before kept me awake, hut |
could not. AS long as they were
moving around, my mind was blank.
II any one doubt this, let him try
the experiment for himself. Iwish
be would ; let him pause Just here
And make it. venture to assure
him that If he makes it in good faith,
In the manner described, the prom.
ice Of "a penny for his thoughts" +" or
for each Of them, while the opera.
ton is in progress, will add very lit.
tie to his wealth. Such being it's
effect, we cannot wohder, that it
should bring sleep to nervous and
wakeful man at night. Therphilos-
ophy Of the matter is very simple.
A suspension of thought is to the
mind what q suspension Of travel or
labor is to q weary body. 1t enjoys
the luxury Of rest the strain upon
its faculties removed, it falls asleep
as naturally as the farmer in his
chair after tOiling all day in the field.
