In April last, while the Hon. 3. $. !Cot
was making flying visit 10 the scenes OF
bis boyhood in Ohio, he attended church
as all good Coxes do, on Sunday, and lis
tened TO a sermon from the following
text: As a servant earnestly desireth The
shadow job vii. =.
The venerable preacher bcgau by say.
ing he had seen a picture illustrating the
text which represented slave looking
towards the west waiting for the end of
the days work II was entitled, Long
ing for Sunset. How he improved that
iextl lie called on the worthless Of both
Testaments; pictured Jacobs longing for
Joseph, and old Simeons desire to 20,
since his eyes were made glad He inn
pressed the thougt that life was a strug-
gle, and no man should desire TO 90.
Work was to be done, and yet we should
look and long for sunset. When the
heart breaks and sorrow is too painful,
and suicide tempts and the soul longs for
sunset, we should remember that sunset
is only the vestibule of sunrise. But how
he perforated When the river is passed
the swooen flood passed and heaven at
tanned, there will be unshadowed Joy; for
there is no Sunset in HedUen.

Prof StoddsTd, ina letter reevntly lie
livcrcd upon the hurricane ia knoS CO
Ohio, stated that Ia ono town grove ot
oak trees was almost entirely blown
down. The trunk of one Of these trees
was about three feet a diameter. A..
suming, however, It's diameter to be bot
two aud half feet, force OF i74,ooo lbs,
would be required to break r. The sur.
face Of the tree exposed 10 the action ol
the wind was about 1000 feet, which
would give pressure by the wind Of i45
pounds per square loot OF velocity Of
not Ices tliAn i7i miles per hour which
Is nearly ope-iourth the initial velocity Of
a cannon ball. Allowing The height OF
the hurricane OF whirlwind to have been
sixty feet, the whole force exerted at one
time, along The track, was five thousand
million pounds -or working power
equal TO more than half the steam power
on the globe.
