in manner that does great honor to the

The WEATHER AND EARTHoUAKEs.-
The weather for three days past has
been horrible. Rain has fallen inces-
sanity, and dark clouds overspread the
horizon. IF such an atmospheric con-
dition prevails in Paris, the Morgue is
filled each day with corpses Of countless
suicides. In fact, the villainous weather
has caused the suspension Of business,
and the habitues of Front street can
hardly travel with wet feathers and
saturated cotton samples. Perhaps
the earthquake that has been travelling
round the world will shake off this horri-
BILE weather once mora and give the
world little sunshine. 1t is time that
the earthquake fend, in its journeyings
with the Wandering Jew, around the
globe, had reached us, and at any day
we may expect a recurrence of the ter

Governor to entertain no +" fears" about
it, for any decent stranger who would
form . ".facorab,e opinion" of the State,
on seeing that congregation Of legisla

We agree with the Governor, that

say /" fears are entirely unnecessary.

by congratulating the people upon the
restoration of the government, 40 rudely

tirely ignores to efforts Of the " martyr
President to accomplish this work,
Elnphstically despises the efforts of the
union band who, in 1864, organized a
government for this State, by adopting
a constitution sufficiently Republican in
form" to suit the most rabid Radical of
that day. The Governor pathctically al
ludes to the awful responsibilities impos
ed upon him by his position, and to the
grave solemnity Of the oath of Office. He
pronomces the oath binding" and pre-.
sumo he SO means. lie is to swear that
he accepts, or, believes in the civil and

to steal corn from his neighbor's field.
He took his little boy with him to sit on
the fence and keep look out so as to
give warning in case any one should come
alonga TIE man jumped over the fence
with large bag on his arm, and before
commencing to take the corn, he looked
an around, first one way and then the
other, and not seeing any person, he was
just about to fill his bag. Then the little
son, a good little fellow he was, too,
cried out:
Father, there's one way you haven't
looked yeti"
The father was startled, and supposed
that some one was coming. He asked
his son which way he meant.
Why" said the little boy, "you for
got to look up
The father was conscience stricken; he
came back over the fence, took his little
boy by the hand, and hurried quietly
home without the corn which he had de.
signed to take. The little boy had re-
minded him that the eye of God was
upon him.

he is fond of catechising. A few days

of his parishioners, and, after the usual
salutation had been exchanged, the con-
versation ran as follows:
"Wcll, Sister W, can you tell
me how Adam fell ?"
The lady commenced to smile audibly,
and finally replied: {" Why, my dear
Doctor you're not serious?"
