The Late Earthquake.

The news from South America is in.
deed gloomy. Over n dozen towns are
in ruins, the destruction to human lite
very great and the damage to property
almost ncalculuble. The tidal wave aC-
companyny the shock of the earthquake,
broke with resistess force on the Perm
Wan coast in some places fully siXty-tivc
feet In height. Tho debris ol ruined
dwellings, wrecked shipping with living
and dead and mangled human bodies
were swept back and forth by the IN
coming and rececdmg waves. Much
distress prevails in the devastated dis
triCts. So great is the number of dead
bodies in some localities that Il pestilence
is greatly feared. The governments are
organizing relief commissions and prl-
vate citizens are forwarding provisions,
clothing and money Tor the relief Of the
sufferers Many OF the towns along the
coast, especially in southern Peru, have
no fresh water supply, the inhabitants
depending upon rondensers for all their
fresh water. In such places the suffer
ing is indescribable. Many of the inland
vallages, this time, have gone down as
well AS the coast towns. The shock was
felt in Southern California, Mexico, Cen,
tral America, and us far South in Peru
as heard from. Whether it extend to
the valley OF the Rio De La Plata or not
is not yet known. HerLers IN from the
pampas report the shock severe on all
the plateaus. Several ct the volcanic
peaks of the Andes and Mexican Cordil.
leras are in an active state and one era
ter within sixty miles et San Barnardino
burst out Immediately after the shock
and continued in an erruptive state Tor
twenty-tour hours.
The molten wave beneath the earths'
crust seems to be following in the old
channel of the last great subterranean
disturbance, commencing first in Asia,
crossing to Japan and the Sandwich
Islands, from thence to South America,
where it has seldom if ever caused great
er terrestrial disturbance. 1t remains
yet to be seen, whether it will be felt in
northern California and t o northern
part of the Mississippi valley, thence in
Ireland Norway and Siberia, or cross
by way of the Gulf OF Mexico, the West
Indies, the Spanish peninsula, Northern
Africa, the eastern part of Turkey
and southern Persia. Careful
observations have demonstrated the
facts that volcanic disturbances have
followed generally one or the other of
these tracks. from west to east and as
the last four great commissions travelled
the nerthern route, with the exception
of one which seemed to so both ways,
we may at any time expect to be shaken
up the coming summer or fall.

Longings.

Two children sat by the summer sea,
Playing with pebble. she'll aai sand:
Loudly they laughed in childlike gI-e,
As the waves ran up the land.
Aud oh, ior ship. ship, they cried
To carry US far away.
80 that We may sail On side by side,
Through an everlasting day"
Two lovers fingered beside the sea.
When the Summer moonlight shone.
And their love could speak all sweet
and free.
For they stood there all alone.
And "oh, for ship. ship" they cry.
ITO carry Us FAR away,
Where no tears will come to dim the
eye,
And no pain or sorrow stay"
There stood two forms by the sunlit sea,
When the breeze sang soft and low !;
All dim with tears their old eyes be,
And all white their hair doth show,
And "Oh. for ship, ship" they call,
That will carry US far away,
To the land where our Father gashereth
all
That love him while here they stay"

Trust One Another

Look into your brothers eye, man.
And bid him read your own;
One-hAif the strife Of human life.
Is born of guile alone.
Deceit creates full half our hates,
And half our love it slays;
Look in each Others eyes, men,
And meet each others gaze
Pardon your brothers faults. man,
And ask that be forgive;
Could human sin no pardon win,
No mortal soul might live.
No need of heaven were none forgiven
For none would reach its doors;
Pardon your brothers faults; man.
And bid him pardon yours.
Feel for your brothers grief. man
No heart is safe from woe.
Though lips and eyes full oft deny
The sorrowing weight below.
a gentle wife. a pitying smile.
May sweetest balm impart;
Feel for your brothers grief, man.
And you may win his heart.
Stand by your brothers ,ide, man.
And bid him clasp your hand
To him be just, and yield the trust
That you from him demand
How simply wise. with soul and eyes.
To trust and still be true
Doing to those We love, man.
What We would have them do.
