Il STORM OF GRASSHOPPERS.

The Washington (Io.) Observer of a
recent date prints the following:
Last Sunday night, at about ten
O'Clock, there was an immense number
of grasshoppers passed over and through
this town. The night was very dark
but the hoppers" came butting against
the buildings, rafting against the win
dows, entering the houses at the windows
and doors, and playing havoc with the
over superstitiOus, for many persons had
gone to bed and were ir their first sweet
Sleep as the choppers" commenced to
rattle against the glass of the windows
and Jump about rooms, making an in
fernal small noise like unto parcel of
baby spirits out on their first spree. 1t
was a strange experience for those who
were awake and took the pains to go out
doors and listen to the odd small noise
that filled the air, produced by the con-
cussion of their wings and the butting
Of their heads against any obstacle in
their way. As far as could be judged
from the noise they made, they were in
great force, and came from the north 60
ing in southern direction; but many
thousands came to grief in town, either
giving out through fatigue or the many
accidents Of attempting to make night
trips without good pilots, as the next
morning thousands of dead and manned
we've lying about loose on
the streets, in the yards and houses.
They were of the largest type of Rocky
species, some of them measur-
ing fully three inches in length from
L" head to toe" They evidently came
across the Missouri river, which at this
place is fully three-fourths of a mile
wide, and those that did not perish in
town kept on toward the land of perpet-
nal green.

and the laws of attraction work so dis
agtrousIy that in the end the whole uni
verse would be drawn to one center
This, however, is scarcely to be expected
even if there should be a'great conHagra'
tien in the sun, and for the present the
only danger against which we keep a
sharp outlook is that Of being roasted.
IF NOT ROASTED THEN FROZEN.
There is, however, a still greater danger
though it does not seem to be impending
over the present generation. The human
mind is apt to g. from one extreme to
the other, and some profane people have
looking forward to a time when even the
dominions of Pluto shall freeze. The re-
porter belonged to this class, for he dared
to ask Mr.. Rutherford whether the fires
of the sun would not stop some day-if
the fuel which keeps that luminary
alight would not some time be eX-
hausted
."Oh, certainly" answered the scien-
fist. "The present heat of the sun can
not be kept up forever, but as it dimin-
ishes the earth will grow cold. 1t will
not require much change either
way to affect the earth. There may be
a conAagration which will roast us or
the suns fires may give out and let us
freeze"
Here, indeed, was te' ible prospect
starting from such fair promises. A
blazingsta is a matter of indifference tOus
because our own star was ablaze long be-
fore Adam came to tenant the Garden of
Eden. But blazing sun is equally pos
sible with a blazing star and from like
causes which would subject us to risk
not less terrible. This danger escaped
we may freeze because the suns fires give
out. Change is il deed the law OF the
and in these immense possible
tiles we see very clearly that purposes of
Divine Providence are inscrutable
and the ways of the Creator past finding
out,

STARS ABLAXE.


Il COMsOiimO Feasibility mat the Earth is
Either to bc Frozen or Roasted.
The recent confagration in the con-
stelIation of the Swan, discovered by
Professor Schmidt, of Athens, has d.
rected the renewed attention of astrono-
mers to the frequent fires in the sun.
The subject becomes one Of immense
importance in view of the effects
which a great cOnhagracion in the worlds
luminary may have upon the earth
itself As ordinary mortals are net
qualified to speak on a subject of such
vast importance reporter Of the New
York Herald was dispatched the other
day to ascertain the views of distin-
guished scientist upon question SO
mOmentous. The gentleman visited for
this purpose was Mr.. Stuyvesant Ruth
erford, of Eleventh street and Second
avenue, who kindly consented to give
any information in his power in relation
to the catastrophe.
"Have you seen Professor Proctor's
letter." asked the reporter, ION the
burning of a star in the constellation of
the Swami"
~ have not but saw some reference
to the fact of a recent cOnfagration
among the STATS"
care such confagrations of frequent
occurrence
"Within a comparative recent period
a number of stars were discovered to boon
fire. There is no question that Confagra-
tions are constantly taking place in the
heavens. Change is the law of the uni
verse, as it is Ct the earth itself. A star
which had been shining with a dim, inel-
fectual light sometimes suddenly blazes
up with brilliancy which can be &C
counted for in no other way than by the
theory OF stellar cOnhagratiOn. Indeed,
the fires among the stars are rather to
be regarded as a fact than a theory, for
in the two most recent cases the Confa-
gratiOns were carefully scrutinized by
the aid of the spectroscope and their
character is fully established"
A dogma so startling cannot fail to
have lively effect upon quiet people
accustomed to regard the stars in the
sky as bright but inefEensive attractions
for poets and other romantic persons.
In the past nobody was afraid to say
Twinkle, twinkle little star" but now
ever twinkle in the heavens will suggest
the question whether or not it is on fire.
The peaceful stars are peaceful no longer,
but burning masses, full ofdanger to the
and terrible in the eyes of the
inhabitants Of the earth and possibly
to those also of "OtbeF Worlds than
OuB,"

4 VOICE IN THE TWILIGHT.

/ was sitting alone towards the twilight,
With spirit troubled and vexed,
With Thoughts that we're morbid and gloomy,
And faith that was sadly peTplGxed
Some homely work was doing
For the child OF my love and care,
Some stitches half YEARLY Ietting,
In the endless need Of repair.
But my thoughts were about the building"
The work some day to be tried,
And that only the gold and the silver,
And the precious stones should abide
And remembering my own poor efforts,
And wretched work had done,
And, even when trying most truly
The nle8gre success l bad won.
ut is nothing but wood, hay and stubble, )
Faid: lit will be burned
This useless fruit Of the talents
One day TO he returned.
And have 50 longed TO serve him,
And sometimes know have tried
But am sure when he sees such building
He Will never let 1t abidC''
Just then, as I turned the garment
That no rent should be left behind,
My eye caught an odd little bungle
Of mending and patchwork combined.
My heart grew suddenly tender,
And something blinded my eyes,
With one OF these sweet intultlOnS,
That sometimes makes us so wise.
Dear child She wanted to help me,
knew twas the best she could do;
But oh, what botCh she has made It
The gray SmatChing the blue
And yet-can you understand it,
With'a tender smile and tear,
And half compass Tomato yearning,
/ felt she had grown more dear.
Then a sweet voice broke the silence,
And the dear Lord said to me,
"AIt thou tenderer for tn little child,
Than am tender fer thee
Then straightway knew his meaning,
So full of compassion and love,
And my faith came back to its refuge
Like the glad returning dove.
For l thought, when the master-builder
Comes down his temple to view,
To see what rents must be mended
And what must be buided anew.
Perhaps as he looks DER the building,
He will bring my work to the light,
And seeing the marring and bungling,
And how far It all is from right.
He will feel as l felt for my darling,
And will say, as | said for her,
Dear child She wanted to help me,
And love for NE was the spur.
"And, for the true love that is in it,
The work shall seem perfect as mine,
And because it was willing service
will crown it with plaudit divine"
And there in the deepening tRilght
! seemed to be clasping a hand,
And to feel great love COnstraining me,
Stronger than any command.
Then knew by the thrill OF sweetness,
Twas the hand of the blessed one,
That would tenderly guide and hold me,
Till all the labor is done.
So my thoughts are nevermore gloomy,
My faith no longer is dim,
But my heart isstroLg and rcRtful,
And mine eyes are unto him.
Mrs. HCryick ,jOBHSOn.

RELIEF FOR THE POOR.

The mayor Of one of our cities, place
of about $4,000 inhabitants, when con-
suited as to what could be done for the
poor these times, when suffering is reach
ing class Usually in comfortable cir
cumstance5, said: "You should go the
root of the matter. You should shut up
the liquor saloons" eyes," was the am
swer, "at least seven hundred dollars are
speut every day for ale" "Seven hun
bred d2llas~ the mayor replied; 81
give my word for it that over $1,000 a
day are spent here in the saloons"
Imagine what $4,000 day, or $14, 900
a week, distributed in the form of coal,
food, or clothing, could do, even in a
larger place than the one above men
toned.
Let the women everywhere meet and
pray and use all their influence of gospel
temperance. Let committee be set at
work to see that the law as to licenses
are strictly carried out, and, with Gods
blessing, plenty will again dwell in our
homes, and the heart of the widow and
Of many others will Sing for joy"
