A Mountain in Mexico Sinks Out Of
Siglt.

Adjacent to the hacienda of Santa Cat
arina, about twenty leagues to the east
OF the city, very remarkable freak Of
nature has occurred, the facts concern
ing which we have received from gen.
tleman who visited the scene. On the
7th inst. the people Of the hacienda and
vicinity We're aroused by a startling noise
resembling thunder. Upon assembling
to see what was the matter, it was soon
discovered that small mountain in the
immediate vicinity had sunk into the
earth, and it must have gone out of
sight like fash. Our informant, with
others, made observations, and learned
that the aperture thus opened was 200
metres in length, $50 in width, and its
depth from 130 to $50 metres. It was
with great difficulty the rim of the cav
ern was approached, as oil about there
were great yawning assures which
threaten to open still wider. To miss
step there was danger Of finding a grave
in the depths beneath. Some stones,
weighing about two pounds each, were
nine to ten seconds before they struck
the bottom, their contact with the sur
face beneath making great report. Al
ter these brief observations, the explor-
ing party retired hu1riedly from the
scene, as the earth was trembling and
shaking as if upon balance. The To-
cation of this strange phenomenon is
situated in the terra caliente (warm
region), and mesquites and palm trees
flourish all about. Whenever any por-
tions of the earth along the rim of the
cavern fell into the depths immense
clouds Of white dust issued forth. This
dust was carried about by the winds
and made all the trees in the vicinity
perfectly white. Speculation is rife as
to whether the mountain sank owing to
earthquake influences or from the result
of gas explosions. It could not be at-
tributed to the former very well, as no
shocks were felt in the nieghborhood.-

4 Romantic Story.

The following story has come to the
hearing of the Atlanta (Ga. Constitu-
ton: "Mauy years ago there was a
young fellow named Bigelow sent by his
father to Yale College. The father was
very rich, and the ycungster lived in
grand style at the university. Suddenly
the old gentleman broke up and had to
withdraw his son from college. The boy,
however, felt the necessity of an educa-
tion, and determined to have one any
how. He therefore went to work and
learned a trade as machinist. While
he was at work his old associates cut him
and refused to have anything to do with
him. The young ladies with whom he
had been a great favorite failed to iecog-
nize him when they met him. One day
when going from his work he met a
wealthy young lady who had been his
friend. He had his tin dinner bucket
over his arm, and supposed she would
cut him as all the resi- had done. She
smiled pleasantly. addressing him as
"Tom," and insisted that he should call
and see her as he had always done. She
said, "There is no change in you as far
as am concerned" The years rolled
on. The young work-boy became i'm

A SENSIBLE KING.-When Lord Pal

answered that his theory and practice of

me goes about his business, and my course
is equally straight before mo-" Some
time afterward, in the troublous days Of
1S4S, some demagogues of the extreme
party in Belgium appear to have forgot,
ten the sort Of King with whom they had
to deal, and surrounded his country house
at Laeken to ask that he should atdicate
or otherwise cease from ruling over them.

soon as he was up, his Majesty invited
several of his most influential subjects to

IN THE TWILIGHT.

Aswe grow old, our yesterdays
Seem very dim and distant;
We grope, as those in darken'd ways,
Through all that is existent;
Yet far-off days shine bright and clear
With suns that long have faded, -.
And faces dead seem strangely near
To those that life has shaded.
s7 AS we grow old our tears are few
- For friends most lately taken,
But fall-as falls the summer dew
From roses lightly shaken
When some chance word or idle strain,
The chords of memory sweeping,
Unlocks the fiood-gates of our pain,
For those who taught us weeping.
AS we grow old our smiles are rare
~ To those who greet us daily,
Or, if some living faces wear
= The looks that beamed so gaily
From eyes long closed-and we should
smile
In answer to their wooing,
'Tis but the Past that shines the While
Our power to smile renewing.
I, AS we grow old orr dreams at night
Are never of the morrow;
They come with vanished pleasure bright,
or dark with olden sorrow;
And when we wake the names we say
Are not of any mortals,
But of those in some long dead day
Passed through life's sunsets portals.
