For the SPECTATOR.

Peaceful scenes of nature
Calm the feverd heart.
Sore, and sunk, and bleeding,
From unkindness' smart.
Hills enrolled in verdure,
Dales and pastures green,
Orchards where the farmhouse
Glitters half unseen.
Precipice where waters
Headlong leap in foam.
Vistas where the vision
May unwearied roam.
skies of clouds and sunshine,
Rainbow instant seen,
Stars that rise at even
Ger the shadow screen.
Harmonies entrance us
And we linger long,
Drinking in the music
Of life's mystic song.
o, whene'er the bosom
Bears some mighty woe,
When mans words are powerless,
We to nature go,
And sweet influence blesses
Even the souls core,
Till its mortal anguish
Is revealed no more. B

EARTHQUAKE IN tAPAN.-The
Washington Star says :-Minster Bing-
ham sends to the Department of State a
very interesting paper on earthquake s
in Japan, read before the Asiatic Socie
ty of that country by a native savant,
Mr.. j. Hattori. The record of all earth
quakes occurring III the larger cites of
that empire for the past fifteen centuries
has been kept up with singular regular
ity. The number of slight shocks is very
large, and that of disastrous earthquake s
is great. Tn fifteen centuries l49 de-
structive earthquake s have been record
ed. The ninth century was prolific in
these, 2S having occurred, while there
were Is in the fifteenth century, Is in
the seventeenth, IS in the eighteenth,
and 16 the present century.
The recorded average is one great
earthquake every ten years, but the
nineteenth century gives one every five
years Unusually high temperature and
strange atmospheric changes have been
noticed as precursors of great convul-
sions, especially in the earthquake which
desolated Yeddo in 1855. Mr.. Bingham
adds that there had been several shocks
within two months. one of which, on
the morning OF the 23rd of February,
lasted fully one minute, during which
time the house occupied by him rocked
ike ship on an angry sea.

pa- The 22nd of February was cele-
hrated here on Friday last by turn
out of the fuzileers, under the command
of Capt. H. +. Barnhart They para
ded the different streets, firing volley
after volley on the various corners. The
whole affair was we'll conducted, and it
put us in mind of ante-bellum days.
This is the first time since before the
war that the day has been celebrated as
it was on Friday last. The boys COM
menced the celebration the night be-
fore, and about one o'clock Friday
morning they served up big soup to
about seventy-five "swlllers." They in
tended to parade the streets before day,
but the incessant rain prevented them
from carrying out that idea, although
some few turned out, and few shots
were fired, but the rain soon drove them
to quarters. In the name of the boys
we return thanks to our city fathers for
the privileges granted them on Friday
last

AT recent term of the Circuit Court
of Mineral county, w. Va, Judge Jno.
Blair Hoge reversed the judgments in a
number of cases against John 7. Pierce
of that county. These judgments were
obtained under the provisions of that
infamous West Virginia Statute. which
authorized so-called loyal men to recov-
er damages from Southern sympathizers
for properly alleged to have been taken
by Coufederates during the war.
We had supposed that all these pes
tiferous suits had been dismissed long
since, but, perhaps it was reserved for
Judge Hoge to drive the last nail into
their coffin. What happy day it was
for West Virginia when she got rid Of
such men as Balch, Hall, Chapline and
Hoke and placed her judiciary in the
pure and able hands of such men as
Hoge, Armstrong, Green and Hay
mond !-Winchsster NeWs.
