How beautiful is the exhibition of
humanity in the young. A little boy
found a poor, half-trozen wasp in the
garnet, and placed it upon chair be-
fore the parlor fire to thaw out. Sure
ly the angels must have looked down
approvingly ON such an act of kind
ness. When sister Mary's beau called
that evening he glanced at the chair,
and seating himself in IT, murmured:,
"Ah, bless her heart, how thoughtful
she is ofmy comfortm Two minutes,
later there was as much noise and
racket in that parlor as if it had been
turned into a den of demons. The.

WASHINGTON, D. G., December 1.-The
President has the following communication
from E.stone Virgins, L. L. D., astronomer
ofthe Canadian Finance department, under
tho date Of Ottawa, November eth. @T
On the e3rd Of September last, an.
noanccd through the Canadian press that
a great storm would occur in March ncxt,
that It would first be felt in tho Northern
Pacific and would appear in the Gulf Of
Mexico on the night Of the 9th, and being
reelected by the Rocky Mountains would
cross this meridian from the west Mt noon
Sunday, March II, 1883. N
No vessel, whatever her dimensions,
will be safe out Of harbor, and none OF
the small tonnage can hope TO survive the
tidal wave and fury Of this ten.
pest, for the wind will blow
from the southeast with planetary force
anu will be sufficient to submerge the low
lands OF the American coast, especially
those bordering on the Gull OF Mexico md
washed by the Gulf stream, while the air
currents ior several hundred miles along
the east sidc Of the Rocky mountain range,
owing to great atmospheric pressure
in those regions will spread uni
yersal destruction. Tho New England
States will also suffer severely from winds
and Hoods. No point outside the harbor
10 the whole area Of the Atlantic north OF
the equator will DO Il place Of safety, for
this will be pre-eminently the greatest storm
that has visited this continent since The
days Of your illustrious first President.
In view Of this event, therefore, l take
great liberty in representing to your Excel
lency tho advisability Of ordering all
United States ships into safe harbors not
later than the 9th Of March till this storm
be passed. l.1,5. : '',
