WHO KILLED HIM ?
BY Rev. J. A. CRUzAN.

"At the last II bitcth like serpent and
s,ingeth like an adle PROV. MIL, %.
Portland packed New Market
Theater from pit to dome, Friday
night, June 25th, in honor of great
actor. The mimic tragedy OF Julius
Caesar held the great audience breath
lsssly intent. A few hours earlier,
in hardware store ON First street,
occurred the last act in tragedy of
real life. How many acts are there
in tragedy? Five in Julius Caesar.
Well mrke FIVE of this real tragedy.
ACT IA pleasant home. A proud
mother holds her baby.boy in her
arms, rains kisses upon his lips, looks
into his eyes, and wonders what high
station he is born to fill; looks dream
ily into the future, sees herself aged,
gray.haired, leaning upon her son as
tower of strength. Ring the bell,
and let the curtain drop.
ACT II.--A printing Office. Boy
at the case; thinks of Franklin, and
Greeley, and the Bonnots, and the
Harpers, and as the type rattle into
the "stick," ambition is set up with
them. But the foul tnosphsre of a
printing Office poisons his soul as
we'll as his blood, The weary hours,
past midnight, when he tolls at the
case to give unthinking thousands
their morning paper with their coffee,
jade his body. He must spur it to
unnatural power. He takes in his
hand that scorpion whip, Rum!
ACT III. - Tented fields. The
battles hellish carnival !! Chiamau-
ga! Stone river! A wounded sol.
dier! Andersonville and its horrors
Peace, and home alive at last!
Acr IVA desert of red. hot
sands. A drunkard's heavy feet
dragging o shrieking soul across that
terrible waste to that awful "at last!"
His soul acutely sensitive, his will
power gone! Chained! "Quit
drink! Quit drink Why, l would
walk into that saloon, when the fit is
on me, and drink il | knew that the
next moment should drop into hell |!
/ am in he'll! Every day suffer
the torments OF tha damned There
can be no more horrible hell -
ACT VA hardware store "It's
a good pistol-wsll suited to carry in
tho pocket!" "Let me try it"
Crash Thud! There lies that
proud mothers boy !! Quick ! What
is that in his pocket? ? A card What
does it say? "From man who is
about to die. Bury me as am,
without shroud. I've been drunk
three weeks, and can't keep sober %
Dead! BY his own hand! SAT the
last, truly, it does bite like serpent
and sting like an addsr!" Quick |!
Ring down the curtain The trage.
dy is ended No! No! 1t is not !!
The suicides grave is not the end |!
There is one act more Gods own
hand raises the curtain
ACT VI.-Etsrnity! Something
is written over the door of the future:
"No drunkard shall inherit the king.
dom Of God!" A destroyed soul |!
No light! No music! No hope !!
Despair coiling around the heart,
with unuttersbie anguish Black
ness of darkness forever Woe |!
Woe! My soul sieksns at this last
act of this life tragedy! Quick |!
Quick! o merciful Father Let the
curtain drop, and hide this eternity
of horror

While the attention u the public il
just now turned 70 the subject Of cold
weather and meteorological changes,
Richard Mansill. Of Rock Island. sc.en-
tho weathey prophet, publishes his
Almanac q Planetary Meie0rology
for 1879 Among its other peculiari-
ties he describes what appears 70 be 4
general outline Of the complexion Of the
seasons for this year, as supposed TO be
affected and governed By the position 81
the planets. Mr.. Mansill Is not an en-
coursging prophet for those who enjoy
fine weather all the year round; but IL
Troy and this particular section shall
prove exceptions TO the prevailing storms
and severity Of temperature, a. has been
the case during the recent meteorologi-
cal disturbances, we may not have reason
to complain. Mr.. Mansiil says. II the
positions Of the planets affect the tenn
perature Of our earth's atmosphere
during the year 1879 as they have done
when in similar positions during past
years particularly the positions that
gave us the mild Winter Of i877--s and
early Spring Of 1879, we may expect
very cratic seasons during 1879. Agree
able TO this theory, there viii be toler-
ably steady cold weather through
January, with temperature below the
mean; Winter will continue through
February, followed by cold March.
We shall be battered BY the prospect Of
Spring during few days about the
middle Of April, while Mercury Is about
passing its inferior conjunction with the
sun; but this will soon pass away, and
the weather, or temperature. sink below
the average Of the season, and will pro-
badly remain below the mean through
May, June. and July, while we shall
move in hot, stormy Summer about
the last DAYS Of Augus,; aud these con-
ditions continuing through September
and most Of October. Between the
Autumn and Winter months, cool
drouths will likely prevail over large
landed countries in the temperate zone,
located far from the sea, while an ex-
cess OF cool rains will probably occur on
and about seacoast countries during the
same term These abnormal irregulari-
ties Of the season Of 1879 must affect the
crops in many and great parts Of the
earth during the year.-7r0y Times.

Imagine yourself at the Tuolumne
Soda Springs on the bank Of the river,
days journey above Yosemite Valley.
You set of northwsrd through forest
that stretches away indefinitely before
you, seemingly unbroken by openings
Of any kind As soon as you are fairly
into the woods, the gray mountain-peaks,
with their snowy gorges and hollows,
are lost 70 view. The ground is Uttered
with fallen trunks that lie crossed and
re-crossed like storm-lodged wheat;
and besides this close growth Of pines,
the rich mOraine soil supports luxu-
RANT growth Of ribbon-leayed grasses.
chiefly bromus, triticum and agrostis,
when -ear their handsome spikes and
panicles above your waist. Making your
way through this fertile wilderness
finding lively bits Of interest now and
then in the squirrels and Clark crows,
and perchance in deer or bear-after
the lapse of an hour or two vertical bars
Of sunshine are seen ahead between the
brown shafts Of the pines, and then you
suddenly emerge from the forest
shadows upon delightful purple lawn
lying smoth and free in the light
like q lake. This Is a glacier
meadow II is about q mile and
. half long Dy q quarter of a mile
wide The trees come pressing forward
al around in close. serried ranks, plant
Ing their feet exactly OF its margin, and
holding themselves erect, strict and or
derby like soldiers on parade; thus
bounding the meadow with exquisite
precision, yet with free curving lines
such as nature alone can draw. With
inexpressible delight you wade out into
the grassy sun-lake, feeling yourself
contained in one Of natures most sacred
chambers, Withdrawn from the sterner
influences Of the mountains, secure from
all intrusion, secure from yourself, free
IN the universal beauty. And notwith-
Standing the scene Is so impressiyely
spiritual, and you seem dissolved in it,
yet every thing about you is beating with
warm, terrestrial, human love, delight
fully substantial and familiar The ros-
iny pines are types Of health and stead
fastness; the robins feeding on the sod
belong TO the same species you have
known since childhood; and surely these
are the very friend-howers Of the old
home garden. Bees hum as in harvest
noon, butterflies WAIVER above the flow
ers, and like them you lave in the vital
sunshine, TOO richly and homogeneously
joy-flledto be capable Of partial thought.
Ion are all eye, sifted through and
through with light and beauty
