LUTHER,s FAITH.

1t is faith which gave Luther this clear
ness of vision
II have lately seen two miracles, he
says the first, as | was looking out OF
my window and saw the stars in heaven and
all that beautiful vaulted roof of God. and
vet saw no pillars on which the Master
Builder had fixed this vault yet the heav-.
ems fell not, but all that grand arch stood
firm. Now there are some who search for
such pillars and want to touch and grasp
them, and since they cannot, wonder and
trembe as if the heaven must certainly fall,
for no other reason but because they cannot
touch and grasp the pillars. If they could
Law hold on those, think they, then the
heavens would stand firm
tsThe second miracle was this | saw
great clouds rolling over us, with such
ponderous weight that they might be COM
pared to great ocean, and yet | saw no
foundation on which they rested or were
based, nor any shore which kept them back;
vet they fell not on us, but frowned on US
with a stern countenance and fled. But
when they passed by, then shone forth both
the foundation and our roof which had
kept them back-the rainbow Yet that
was indeed weak, thin, slight foundation
and roof. which soon melted away into
the clouds and was more like shadowy
prism. such as we see through colored glass
than strong and firm foundation so that
we might well distrust that feeble dyke
which kept kack that terrible weight of wa
tiers, and that it guards us safely. But
there are some who look rather at the thick
ness and massy weight Of water, and clouds
than at this thin narrow bow of promise.
They would like to feel the strength Of that
thin shadowy, evanescent arch, and because
they cannot do this they are ever fearing
that the cloud win bring back the deluge. =

lis but a little thing to die,
And leave earth faded flowers
To whisper requierns 0 'er our tomb
In autumn's dreary hours,
All who would not be glad to die,
And close The weary eyes,
TO waken in brighter world,
Beyond the starry skies?
How can We even wish TO stay
In this dark world Of care,
When one brief pang, one struggle here,
Would make US happy there
All! surely we would never grieve
TO leave Times fading shore,
And sore away to fadeless realms,
Where dying comes no more.
Then who would call the loved ones back
From out the Shepherds fold,
To tread again Life's thorny track,
Meath skies so dark and cold?
It surely is not sad to die
Ard leave earth transient JOY,
TO drink of heaven undyipg bliss,
And love without alloy.
Oh! tbs happy thing to die
To lay this form away,
And change earth home for one on high
Earth nightfor heavens day.
lis grand and beautiful to die
Our great Redeemer died
To wash away each trace of sin
And make us purified.
Then tremble not when death shall come
lis but the Sayiour's call
'Tis but His love that watts US home
Where no dark shadows fall.
Tis changing weariness for rest.
Time for eternity;
And this bright change to happiness
Is Death dark mystery.
So while we stand on Times dark shore,
Let every tear be dried,
For We shall find our loved and lost
Beyond Death moaning tide.

THE CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKES.

Rev. Horatio Stebbins, of San Francisco,
writes thus to the Springfield Republican
regarding the late great earthquake
1t was twelve o clock 2nd forty minutes.
In the Unitarian church the congregation
were standing in the singing of the last
HYMN. 1t was that sublime line of victory
and power, ''Rise, imperial Salem, rise.
The choristers had come to the last verse
The seas shall waste, the skies to smoke
decay,
Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt
away
The organ caught up the mighty theme
and swept through the heavens with exu4-
tant power At the very instant the build
ing trembled and flash of CONSERVATION
went through the audience the choral song
seemed buffeted by the sea and lost for a
moment 10 the multitudinous waters; but it
rose again and caught the victorious strain,
when another vibration racked the edifce
from its foundation stone to its topmost
timbers the voice Of the choir sank as
some spent swimmer in midnight sea.
The building was falling The roof crack
ed Bricks and mortar grated and ground
The prophecy of the stones in that other
temple was about to be literally fulfilled In
this and upon whonlsoever this stone
should fall, should be ground to powder -
The great pipe of the organ fell from Its
place The plaster finish cleaved from the
ceiling The building twisted and sprung
as long gaunt steamer bends under the
stroke Of her engines 1t was a moment
Of unspeakalle le agony, butt was all over
Men who had gone with their hymn books
came back after their hats, and the audience
fingered awhile to give mutual expressions
of emotion fear and gratitude In the even
ing we came back again, and sung through
the unfinished hymn ia never to be forgot
ten song, offered prayer and thanksgiving
to Almighty God, and went to our homes

THE tears we shed for those We love are
the streams which water the garden of tho

OCCUPATION Occupation whata glori-
Gus thing it is for a human heart Those
who work hard seldom yield themselves en-
tirely up to fancied or real sorrow. When
grief sits down, folds its hands, and mourn
fully feeds upon its own tears, weaving the
dim shadows that little exertion might
sweep away int funeral pail, the strong
spirit is shorn of its might, and sorrow be-
comes our master When troubles flow
upon you, dark and heavy, toll not with the
waves-wrestle not with the torrent-rather
seek by occupation to divert the dark waters
that threaten to oyerwhelm you into thou
sand channels which the duties of life always
present. Before you dream of it. those wa
tiers will fertilize the present, and give birth
to fresh flowers that they may brighten the
future flowers that will become pure and
holy, ia the sunshine which penetrates to
the path Of duty Grief, after all, is but d
selfish feeling, aud most selfish is he who
yields himself to the indulgence of any pas
sion that brings no joy to his fellow men

DEATHS MYSTERY.

By FRANCIS LAuARrlSr.
The Idaho world. [volume] (Idaho City, Idaho Territory) 1864-1918, 1866-07-21

The DEMOCRATIC MEETING The immense and
enthusiastic crowd that assembled in front of the
Bank Exchange last Saturday night, was looked
upon with horror and alright by the Republicans
stationed on the outskirting look-outs. Mr.. j. M.
Murphys' refutation of the ISLANDERS on the county
officials, circulated by, the Union was complete
and satisfactory. The speech of Gov. Weller
was powerful vindication of Democratic policy,
rich with the strength of strong mind and a.
long experience in public life. We have heard
himloften in the days when 10 was younger, bat,
this address showed that the fervor and power of
old still animates him with undiminished strength.
He was succeeded by, Marion Moore Esq, in
short pointed and effective speech, which created
the widest enthusiasm. Mr.. Moore is practical
land talks at his subject without any unneces,
sary superfuity-with language terse and vigor-
Gus as his own life. Hon. Frank Ganahl then fol-
lowed with an addr ess of great beatty and poWer.
He went through the villainous SANDERS with
which the Republicans are endeavoring to delude
the people, and showed them and their authors up
in their true light. Hon. E. D. Holbrook then
addressed the crowd which still fingered round
the stand-as late as it was AS the meeting dis.
persed the street ung with the cheers of the
audience. The Republicans looked doGn from
their balcony With great disgust, and dispersed
with man muttered curses. That meeting, they
felt, drove nail into their political collins.
