with a satiny shine. This is a crust OF
quiescent lava; and the observer, who has
expected to have his senee of wonder
strained to speechlesness, says: as this
all ," No! look! the frozen CLASSY lake is
alive. What a heave in the centre-some
mighty beast lifting up hat floor Now a
wave of undulation runs round the encrust-
ed marge. And there is an outburst, a
blood red fount, gushing and bubbling from
one of earth's arteries, The broad disc Of
the lake heaves and trembles. Fitful gas
eous flashes fit across. And now the
moving floor cracks, and 8 serrated fissure,
like the suture OF a skull, runs from marge
10 marge. And quick darting streaks, sud-
den cracks of the crust, shoot across in all
directions. These serrated streaks are, at
first, rosy lines on the grey surface; then
they widen like crimson ribbons, broad
ening to the view. They undulate with
the billOwy motion of h whole u~pheaving
surface. Another crimson fount springs up
along the now fretting and roaring rim of
the lake. And another, and another of
now wildly upleaping fountains of fire toss
high their CORY crests; even casting gouts
and clots of the red spray, that fall and
harden near the Observers feet. BY this
tlult, the spirit OF our llleEuO Is aEOOSSu.
The whole fierce red lake is all boil and
leap and roar. 1t is more than the roar of
loud sea surfs beating bold bluffs. The
surging tide of the molten earth, Ounds a
deeper, believing bass than any note of
the sounding sea. And now the heaved VI
crust broker into fragments, is churned up
II dissolved in the boiling flood. The
roaring gulf is now indeed a vortex of in
describable glories and terrors. Caves open
on the sides OF the surrounding wall, and
man sees more of a hell than he ever ina
gined. a thousand demons are now hold
ing high carnival in this bOttOmless pitt
n the leap and play of a fiery floOd,- the
dance and swell of a red surging tide, and
the roar and shrek of the dread forces is
suing from the red hot pulsating heart of
the planet, make a thoughtful observer hold
his hand to his own heart and say: "This
is enough; the Almighty is here"
And then, the wild lake settles down to
calm again; or TO a milder display by and
by; or perhaps simply upheaves, and over
flows its bounds, and spreads abroad in the
great crater. But at all times, it is wonder
full; and is ready to satisfy the curious OBJ
server, that here in mid Pacific, in our Ha-
waiian islands, is the grandest, most varied
and most momentous volcanic action to be
seen on the surface of the globe.
The facilities for reaching this ever active
volcanic display at Kilauea, about 80 miles
distant from Hilo, are greater now than in
years. No doubt for some time to
come, the curious traveller may satisfy his
desire in respect to volcanic display in the
of Hilo. The present eruption some
resembles that of 1859, which con-
tinued to flow for thirteen months. 1t
will to ali appearances flow for some months
more, and may add a new promontory to
the geography of Hawaii.

A Pen WORTH RECOMMENDING. :
We have been favored with samples OF
the celebrated Spencerian Double Elias
Steel Pens, and after trying them fee
justified in highly commenting them t.
our readers. They are made of the best
steel, and by the most expert workmeu
in Europe, and have a national reputa
ton for certain desirable which no othel
pens seem to have attained in 50 greal
perfection, among which are uniform
evenness of point, durability, fexibllity,
and quill action. 1t is thus quito natu

ferred and used by professional penmen.
in business colleges, counting rooms
government offices, public schools, anc
largely throughout the country. Indeed
so popular have they become, that o
the Number One alone, as many a,
eight millions are sold annually.
The Spencerian Pens may be had, a!
a rule, from any dealer: but when no

The PRICE OF Books TOO Hen
We notice at the regular book trade
sales in New York this week some
standard works sold for II and 575
cents that are retailed at 81 %. This
is an immense margin. For ourselves
we are glad that the American Book
Exchange, specially, and two or three
houses to some extent, have gone to
word to cheaper books. In the North
where there are so many rich men high
priced books are no drawback or EN-
barge on learning. BIT in the South
where there is some culture, strange as
it may appear to those living in the
land of "high moral ideas, money is
not 10 the hands of those who love
good books. 1t is, therefore. a great
boon to he able to get readable copy
of Shakespeare in three volumes fo'
about 81 65: Green's larger History OF
England, published in two volumes
instead of the usual four, for 81 10;
and many Of the leading English and
Continental classics for corresponding
prices. Mommsen, Curtius Bibbon,
Carlyle. Goethe, and SO on, can be got
in readable type at from 81 to so cents
