area of90 by 1870 miles, or, 200 square
miles. The letters were written to India and
sent by way ofShanghai, and although the
earthquake occurred six months ago, yet the
transit has been very rapid. shock &C.
Cured at O'Clock in the morning of April
18th, was followed at noon by stronger
shock, and at sunset by an earthquake which
levelled the whole town and killed or injured
half the population. The missionaries es-

In the mission establishment was killed. A

In Augustus Days great play of +" IN
der the Gaslight," Laura Courtland ut
ters these beautiful sentiments:
" Let the woman you look upon be wise
or vain, beautiful OF homely, rich or poor,
she has but one thing she can really give
or refuse-her heart. Her beauty, her
wit, her accomplishments, she may sell
to you but her love is the treasure with
out money and without price. She only
asks in return that when you look upon
her, you shall speak a mute devotion:
that when you address her, your voice
shall be gentle, loving and kind. That
you shall not despise her because she can
not understand. all at once your vigorous
thoughts and ambitious plans. for when
misfortune and evil have defeated your
greatest purpose-her love remains to-
console you. You look into the trees for
strength and grandeur; do not despise
the flowers because their fragrance is
all they have to give Remember, love IS
all they have to giye-but it is the only
earthly thing which God permits us to
carry beyond the grave"

! A DAY WITHOUT NIGHT. One night in
July we landed on the shore OF northern
ford in latitude sixty degrees north. We
assembled cliff which rose 1000 feet above the
level of the sea. 1t was late, but yet sun
light. The Arctic ocean stretched away in
slant yastness at our feet. The sound OF it's
waves scarcely reached Jour airy lookout.
Away in the north the huge old sun swung
along the horizon like the slow beat of the
pendulum in the tall clock in our s grand
father parlor corner. We all stood Silent
looking at our watches. When both hands
came together at twelve, midnight, the full
round orb hung triumphantly above the wave
"a bridge OF gold running due north SPAWNED
the waters between us and him. There he
shone IN silent majesty which knew no
setting: Weinvoluntarily took off our hats !;
no word was said. Combine if you can, the
most brilliant eunset and sunrise you ever
saw, and it's beauties will pale before the
most gorgeous scoloring which now lit up
ocean, heaven and mountain In half an
hour the sun had swung up perceptibly on its
beat, tn colors changed to those of the
morning, a fresh breeze rippled over the ford
one songster after another piped up in the
grove behind us-we had slid into another

CHALLENGING THE ARRAY"

The elder generation of lawyers may
still recall the name of Sir Jonah Bar
rinpton. member of the Irish Parlia-
ment. and for many years Judge of the
High Court of Admiralty in Ireland, and
author of The Rise and Fall of the Irish
Nation" He was called to the bar in
1850, became a judge in 1898. He con-
tinued upon the bench until 1880,
when he was deprived of his Office for
misconduct, having appropriated to his
own use certain moneys paid into court,
A recent edition of his work, entitled,
"Personal Sketches of his own Times"
abounds in racy anecdotes and faceti& OF
the Irish bar and people. Among them
the following is related as having occur
red during the trial Of an assize case in
which some members of Sir Jonah's fam
lily were interested: iA3
On the evening of the trial my second
brother, Henry French Darlington, gen.
tleman of considerable estate, OF good
temper, but irresistible impetuosity, came
to me. He was complete country gen.
tleman, utterly ignorant of the law, its
terms and proceedings; and as / was
the first of my name who had
ever followed any profession-the amy
excepted-my opinion, as soon as3I be-
came counselor, was considered by him
as oracular. Having called me aside out.
Of the bar-room, my brother seemed
greatly agitated, and informed me that

list declared that it was decidedly pack.
ed He asked me what he ought to do.
I told him he should have challenged
the array" THAT was my opinion,
JONAH" said he, sand will do it now! !"
He said no more, but departed instant
ly, and did not think again upon the
subject. An hour after, however, my
brother sent in second request to see
me- I found him, to all appearance,
quite cool and tranquil. - have done it, :"
