THOUGH THE EARTH BE REMOVED"

The traveller Humboldt gives an interest
ing account of the first earthquake he wit.
messed. It was at Cumana, South America.
The first shock came after a strange still
ness. 1t caused and earthquake in his mind
for it overthrow in a moment all his life
long notions about the safety OF the earth.
He could no longer trust the soil which
up to that day had been so firm under his
feet. He had only one thought-universal,
boundless destruction. Even the crocodiles
ran from the river Orinoco, bowling into
the woods, the dogs and pigs were power
less with fear. The whole city seemed
1.-The hearth of destruction" The houses
could not shelter for they were falling in
ruins. He turned to the trees, but they
were reeling like drunken men. He then
looked toward the sea. Lo! it had fled
and the ships, which a few minutes before
were in deed water, were rocking on thu
bare sand. He tells us that being then a
his wits end, he looked up and observed
that heaven alone was calm and mistaken
Many strange things are yet to come upo1
the world-earthquakes, overturnings, ur
heavings. But, amid them all the Boo
tells us, the Christian shall look up to til
heavenly one, "Jesus Christ the same yet
terday, and to-day, and forever" and to hi
heavenly home which cannot be moved.

TASTE IN THE SELECTION OF CoL0Rs.

Public taste in flowers, as in fruits. AMI
mails and dress. is undoubtedly generally in
sympathy with strong colors. A bouquet
strong in blue, red and yellow gorgeousness
will catch the eye and open purse OF the
average man and woman, while the more
lovely blending OF subdued tints Will De pass

ed pears and peaches, higl-colored plu'ns
and cherries, will outseil their more sober
colored relatives, although intsinsically the
iobter colored fruits may be far better to
the taste. In flowers, however, there are
but two things to be considered, elegance III
shape and color, and perfume. In nine case

TROUBLE

Late on the night after election, when the
furious storm was at its height, and the rain
was pouring down like an Ohio freshet, a
voter out on South Hill suddenly sat bolt
upright in his bed, with an incoherent X
clamation that exposed so many and such
a varied assortment Of emotions it was diff
cult to tell which was title page.
"What is it?" asked his startled wife.
The voter said nothing, butlooked the un-
utterablest kind of things.
Ibid you forget to vote" asked his
wife.
He silently shook his head.
. Did you vote the wrong ticket?
Again he shook his head, abstractedly.
odd you lose a bet?"
He shook his head despondently as though
that would have been a very small matter.
"Well, then" she asked, what is the
matter of you? Something has gone wrong,
I know"
With a hollow groan he fell heavily back
upon the bed, and buried his face in the phi.
low. "Don't speak to me-" he SAID, II
husky tones; "let me go to sleep and forge
it.n He had just remembered that after az
cut the kindling wood, he had piled it Up OF
the cistern box, and forgot all about it, ant
there it was at this present moment OF writ
ing, taking ashower bath and breedln smok

A JAPANESE BEAUTY.

The japanese girl in her society wal paint
would pass muster at a Kentucky fair. She
must rise with the sun to begin her toilet.
The long, coarse tresses of black hair must
be washed, combed and creased until the
head shines like a knob of polished marble.
The cheeks must be rouged to the proper
tint, the throat, neck and bosom powdered,
carefully leaving, however, on the neck
three lines of the brown skin of the owner,
in accordance with the rules Of japanese
cosmetic art. Then the eyebrows are to be
carefully rounded and touched with black,
the lips Redeemed with cherry paste, with q
patch of gliding in the centre. When all
this has been done, and she gets together a
proper allowance of pocket-handkerchief
paper, her tobacco pouch, pipe and fan, she
sallies forth.

to the Columbia in five days, and the north
west will be supreme with the commerce of
Asia at command. Our nation needs three
continental lines, and the question is not To-
cal but national; interests the Atlantic sea-
board Is well as the Pacific. The States of
New England need them as well as Oregon.
The nation canno perpetuate unity with
out them, and from a military point of view
they will prevent Indian wars, or lessen
their cost greatly.
The problem of the age is solved by the
fact that three million laborers are wanted
in this northwest to- people and develope it.
Nature gives promise OF the future in her
own language, and if the Caucasian race
does not occupy this field, it is not impossi-
BILE that the Mongolian may. There, 10000
GOO are starving ON a smaller area, and that
p~atcrnal government may employ vessels
and send it's starving millions llither.
The lecture was a truly eloquent rehear-
sal of our great privileges and resources,
descriptive of this wonderful region, and
calculated to give the nearer a clear idea. OF
what the northwest will be in the tullness
of time. Mr.. Knight was eloquent upo1
his ~favorite theme, and perhaps a tritle toe
much so when he gave practical map illus
t~rations. He acquires every year more fac
lily and ease of expression, as well as earn
estness and confidence in himself. and thi
lecture will do much good for us if he &C
cepts the proposition made him to lecture a
the East this winter.- Willamette Farmer.

GOOD FROM EVIL.

There is no consideration III this cOnnec-
ton more pleasant than the proofs daily Of
fered by the mullificent donations of North
ern, Eastern and Western cities for the re.
lief Of the sick and destitute in the South,
that the sense Of humanity and brotherly
love is warmer and deeper in this country
than the mean animosities engendered by
party rivalries and sectional prejudices. We
appreciate the generosity which comes to
us from these quarters, even when it takes
the shape of prey scriptlons, which the
boldest will never have the tenerity to try,
and of offers of personal service from those
whose zeal is greater than their knowledge.
They mean we'll. and we accept with graft
tude the will tor the deed. Ii here and
there some ungracious remark, some UNI
timely reminder of ancient en1nlty, finds It's
way into the columns of a Journal given
over with the sanction Of the devil and all
his angels to bitter and unrelenting rart'
sanism, the instances are so rare tnaC we
can afford to pass them By with no other
sentiment than a magnanimous pity. AT
King Arthur's court, when the knights
were seated at the Table Round," if any
i W.
NAMED or misshapen guest uttered a dis
courteous word or spoke with harshness OF
another, his nobler brethren would pass us
offence over in silence, deemlng 1t part Oh
/ his inf:rmity. We need not point to the
moral. but we will remember it.
, We cannot tell how long we have yet tt
!, endure the suffering and anxiety which are
upon us. 1t must be as god wills; put W.
t face our daily round of arduous ana peru
Gus duties with better heart, because w
know we are not left alone to meet them
g Long may the lesson Of fnith, hope an
# charity, now so beautifully but sadi
taught, linger in our memories; and Whe
ar last this time of trial is ended, may
n leave with US that sense of mutual depent
% ence. and that renewed sentiment OF brotf
4 erly kindness which have been its fruits

Paradise breathes from her and she COM

We owe many valuable observations to
people who are not very acute or Profound

we want and have long been hunting in
vain. The action of the soul is oftener in
that which is telt and left unsaid, than in
that which is said in any coversotion. 1t
