The neanlilnl Gator,

Speaking of the gates of Jerusalem, n
travelling correspondent Of the Baltimore
AB,ericm SAYS. Tradition mentions
several that are not now to be found
such as the Old Gate, Ephraim's Gate
the Valley Gate, the Prison Gate, the
Fish Gate, and others. At present there
are but four that can be opened, although
four others are distinctly seen walled mp.
The gates now open are those of JallA
Of Damascus, ofSt stephen, and of David
one in each of the fOur walls. The
Jafa gate is northwest of Mount Zion,
and is the usual entrance for pill
grims from Christian lands. 1t is COM
posed of tall toners or buttresses, evil
dently Of great strength, and easily de-
Tended against ancient modes OF war
fare The gates proper consist Of two
large folding doors, in one Of which is Il
wicket called "the Needles Eye" which
is Just large enough TO admit a canal
without any load on its back, whence
come, ! suppose, the scriptural adage
about the difficulty Of a camel going
through the eve of a needle. / asked
what significance the natives attached to
this, and was grayely told that, mas
much as camel can not possibly pass
through il while carrying any portion of
a load, similarly rich man can not pass
through the wicket of the heavenly Jer-
usalem until he has entirely unloaded
himself Of his riches and his other earth
ly burden.
The three other gates are Of similar
construction, with strong turrets. But
they are all wonderfully striking to the
eye, in their quaint and now useless
ponderous, albeit conveying a profound
impression Of the ancient strength of the
city, and of the difficulty Of its capture
by Moslem or Crusader. Nowadays, one
or two Of our big guns would effect a
breach in few minutes.

Simon Camcron's First Geography

Yesterday an old gentleman who
knows much of his early history
gaye me one incident as specimen
Of how he began life, General
CamerOn's mother" said his cid
friend, was a great woman. She
labored for her children with zeal
and energy of which few beings are
capable, and it was her teaching
and example, rs well as native men
tai force, which marked the life of
her boys with those strong charac-
teris:ics which have enabled them
to make their mark in life" The old
storekeeper in Maytown, the little
hamlet in Lancaster County where
General Cameron was born," said
my informant, often told of his strug-
gle for his first book in Geography,
He was only eight or nine years old
when he became far enough adyanc-
ed in elementary education to study
Geography, and he approached the
teacher with the desire of his heart.
The teacher promised if he could get
a book to put him in the class, but
how to get that book was the ques-
ton. 1t cost dollar. and even
pennies were scarce in his home.
He consulted his mother and they
together planned for the Geography.
She entering heartily into her sons
ambition.
After three months Of effort,
enough of the odds and ends of the
family economy left from the daily
demand for bread was saved up.
These were carried to the country
store by the boy who has since writ
ten SO strongly upon the pages of
his country's political history. When
they were weighed and counted the
merchant shook his head and said
There is only 73 cents worth, 81
mon, and the book costs ST." As
the boy thought of the struggle he
had made to accumulate what he
had Brought, and still the prize was
far away, the tears sprang to his
eyes. The merchant relented, and
taxing him By the shoulder, said:
Simon, you are good boy you
can have the book, and you can pay
he the other q cents when you get
It." He not only lived long enough,
said his friend, to pay the " cents,
bat to do the man who thus served
his childish ambition many kind
ncsses.

Window Plants.

The Increasing heat of the sun is
favorable to towering, but also to
the rapid propagation Of insect pests.
Fumigate with tobacco, when prac-
ticable, and if this cannot be done,
syringe with tobacco water at fre-
quent intervals. For the Red Spi-
der, thorough drenching with water
is the most effectual. Abundant
fresh air will be needed; and for
this the windows and sashes NAV
be left often much of the day time
this will help to harden off the
plants that are soon to 60 out of
doors. Fuchsias and othef plants
that have been resting may
now be started into growth. Bed
ding plants should be propagated
raidly. Sow seeds of AZ n ial flower
iagplants fer transplanting TO the

The End OF the World.

James NJ. Swormstcdt has figured
it out that the world will come to
an end at midnight Of November II,
1881. He closes his wonderful and
fearful prediction as follows:
1T is a very remarkable coinci-
denco that at midnight of Noyem-
Der II the seven stars from whence
Christ will descend, ..nd Jupiter, the
earth, and the sun will be in III

from this line. The most dire

with our planet. Both bodies trav-
cling at the rate of more than a
thousand miles per minute, there
can but ensue the most disastrous
consequences. 1t will produce the
most awful earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, whirlwinds and lorna does
the world has ever witnessed. The
mountains will flow down with lava,
also with torrents of water. caused
by the melting of the accumulated
snow Of centuries. Whole cities
will be SWEPT away by these floods.
Other cities will be thrown down by
great earthquakes, and still others
will be destroyed by tornadoes and
whirlwinds. Many others will be
destroyed by fire and birthstone,
like Sodom and Gounrrah

dreadful and produce such tenn

the earth will be rolled together as

comet.
The earth will present a wretched
and ruined appearance as 1t cnerges
beyond the comets train. Accord
ing to ST. John, the world will be-
come panic-stricken IS the comet

desert their thrones, great men their

How a War Hawk Saved lives.

In General Sherman's "Memoirs
the following remarkable story con-
nected with the loss OF the Central
America, which foundered at sea of
the coast of the Georgia, in August,
1857, with 6 hundred passengers
and 100000 of treasure, has pecu-
liar interest. Sixty of the ill-fated
vessel were picked up by Swedish
bark and taken to Savannah. Cen
eral Sherman says:
"a few days after, was standing
in the ycstibule of the Metropolitan
Hotel, and heard the Captain cf the
Swedish bark tell his'singulm story
of the rescue of these passengers.
He was short sailor-like looking
man, with strong German or Swe-
dish accent. He said that he was
sailing from some port in Honduras
for Sweden, running down the Gulf
Stream off Savannah. The weather
had been heavy for some days, and

it to the deck. This strange fact
made him uneasy, and he thought
it betokened danger; he went to the

cries for help. Instantly heaving /
his ship to, and lowering all his |
boats, he managed to pick up sixty |
or more persons who were floating
about on sky-lights, doors, spars'

not changed the course of his vessel
