were caused to vibrate to their foundations,
and the surface of the very earth trembled
as this destroyer swept over it. No thun-
der was at anytime distinctly heard, its
believing being drowned by the chorus of
the wind Its horrible roar and yelling,
the Gathering crash of tiles, the falling of
roofs and walls, and the combination of a
thousand other sounds, formed hideous
and appalling din. The devastation was
immense The whole face of the country
was laid waste no sign of vegetation was
apparent, except here and there small
patches of sickly green The surface of
the ground appeared as if fire had run
along the ground, scorching and burning
up the products of the earth The few re-
naming trees, stripped Of their boughs and
foliage wore cold and wintry aspect, and
the numerous country seats, once concealed
among thick groves, were now exposed,
and in ruins" Such, then, is some faint
description of that subtle force, the
wind" Mark the skill of the grouping of
these forces-the cumulative and suddenly
exhibited force of the rain, the mercess,
swift action of the flood, the raging, howl
ing, pertinacity of the wind at beat
av/emMy."
These forces are simultaneously concen-
trated upon "Me house," The rain de-
scended and the foods came, and the winds
blew and beat upon that "house." What
for?-to test its strength as whole, and
the stability of its parts. The rain, it's
coheson-it was complete, no Granny nor
chink, into which the rain force could pene-
trate-no leakage.in roof, or window or
wall-the food, like an insdious warrior,
endeavored to undermine its foundation
and SO hurl the whole structure to the
ground. The wind-hend struck it with
lightning speed, seized and shook it in its
impetuous embrace-roared and Kissed
around it, like maelstrom-lurked around
it like panther waiting for its prey. But
the house stood 1t all; smiled at the rain,
laughed at the wind, and defed the flood
because 1t 7oas founded on rock.
Now under the strong figure of the text
our Saviour depicts the true Christian

you will find them in the Sermon on the
Mount principles, which if put into
faithful practice would remodel society and
renovate the world LET your light so
shine among men, that they may see your
good works and glorify your Father which
is in heaven" Here is the outline of the
higher, truer, nobler life-and every day of
life that is spent in working out this lofty
principle, materially builds and consolidates
the highest form Of human character. The
palace of the soul cannot in the nature of
things be built in day. The "ftly

your feet. Its bubbles are windows through
which the Spirit of the Waters searches
for whom it may devour," with hungry
activity. Woe to the traveller that tries
the Turing ford "A moment here, then
gone forever" Engulphed amidst the
laughter of the wave and the hooking wall
of the water. That water is the soul tor of
God-carving the draperies of the hills in
marble and stone; cutting its way through
the loftiest mountain range, and hardest
rock. Scooping out the valleys that run
amongst the hills and adding to its beauty
the cascade, cataract or waterfall, chisel-
ing the mountain to dust, and thrifty de-
posting it in its treasure house-the sea.
1t is Gods great transit instrument, by
whose aid He is to-day, at this very hour,
preparing nezv earth for future generations
of men.
Let us fix fact or two in our memory
upon this point-Bischof, the celebrated
chemist, calculates that the Rhine carries
past the City of Bonn every year sufficient
carbonate of lime to form $4,000 millions
of oysters of the usual size-and if they
could all be put together they would form
a cube $40 feet in the side. The Rhone
carries past Avignon every year S,2o4464
tons of dissolved salts in its water The
Mississippi has been estimated to deliver
into the Gulf of Mexico 75o,ooo,ooo cubic
feet of earth, sand and gravel every year.
The Danube during extraordinary floods
discharges into the Black Sea 100000
tons of silt every twenty-four hours. And
vet if we look at the river as it sweeps
along we should describe it as an immense
volume of muddy rushing water-its terri
bly, destructive force, while active is yet
partially concealed by the guarding bank
on either side. See it in uncontrolled
activity-when, from some extraordinary
causes, its volume increases, and rising with
ominous swiftness it breaks through all con-
fines and spreads desolaton and ruin all
around. Mills and farms, villages and
hamlets, cottages and manufactures are
invaded by the restless foe and mercilessly
sacked utterly dismantled, and frequently
accompanied by frightful loss of life. How
many thousands in America have recently
learned in the bitter school of experience
the full meaning of the Saviours words
"And the flood came But the picture is
not yet complete. One more element must
be added to this composition of forces, and
we are told "The winds blew and beat
violently" How difficult it is, unless we
have had remarkable experience, to realize
fully the tremendous force of the air when
in violent motion. Those who go down to
the sea in ships and do business on the
great waters can fully interpret the mean
ing concealed in these words One de-

up to the first Of August for winter, or
perhaps a week later. The land should
be made mellow and the surface well
mixed with fine manure, unless it is
naturally rich. A dressing OF wood
ashes, or phosphates, will be benefi-
cial- The seed may be sown broad
cast for fat turnips at the rate of
pound to an acre, if the soil is fine and
free from Jumps and clods, and II not,
double the quantity of seed should be
put in. A brush harrow is the best for
covering, and it is an excellent plan,
if the ground is in the right condition
to roll it. This should not be done if
the ground is moist so that it will pack
and form a crust, which it would do
if rolled when too moist. The seed
should not be sOwn when the ground
is wet, as it cannot be covered prop
erly. The least covering is all that is
required. A clover sod is an excel
lent seed-bed for turnips, and any
knoll or spot where grass is sparse
may be turned over and sOwn to them.
No crop better fits the ground for
crop another year, and if percbance
any areleft on the ground until spring
they will add materially to the rich
ness of the soil.-COl f. ID. Curtis, IN

The Mysteries of Shoes and

Throwing the shoe after the welded

augury of long life to the bride. In
Yorkshire the ceremony of shoe
throwing is termed thrashing,n and
the older the shoe the greater the luck.

prevails in Germany, where the
