VIZ observe that Vice President Hen
BRICKS is announced for public speech at
a meeting soon to be held in this State. As
we have seen no indication that Mr.. Hen
bricks expects to take the stump in this
esnvassgit is probable this announcement
has been made without consultation with
him. To induce people to attend political
meeting under false pretences, does harm
invariably. Only those who are certain to
be present to address the people should be
announced.

There was once an old monk
walking through the forest with a
scholar by his side. The old man
suddenly stopped and pointed to
four plants that were close at hand.
The first was just beginning to
peep above the ground, the second
had rooted itself pretty well into
the earth, the third was small
shrub, while the fourth and last
was full sized tree. Then the
monk said to his young compan-
ion: Pull up the first. The boy
easily pulled it up with his fingers.
Now pull up the second The
ysuth obeyed. but not SO easily.
And the third The boy had to
put forth all his strength and use
both arms before he succeeded in
uprooting it. And now said the
master, try your hand upon the
fourth But 10! the trunk of the
fourth tree, grasped in the arms
of the youth scarcely shook it's
leaves, and the little fellow found
it impossible to tearits roots from
the earth. Then the wise old
monk explained to bis scholar the
meaning Of the four trialn. This
my son, is just what happens with
our passions. When they are very
young and weak, one may, by a
little watchfulness over self and
the help of a little self-denial,
easily tear them up; but if we let
them cast their roots down deep
into our souls, then no human
power can uproot them--the AL
mighty hand of the Creator alone
can pluck them out. For this
reason, my child, watch well your
first impulses

The recurrence of pink or Grim
son sunsets this autumn is not oc-
casioned by painting things red
as some might suppose, but the
cause is something that perplexes
the scientists and has thus far
brought out no satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION, remarks the Steuhen-
vile Gazette. When this phenom-
enon was first noticed last year
the opinion came to be accepted
among scientific men that at the
eruption of Krakatoa vast vol
umes Of dust We're projected far
into the air, and that this dust
which from its lightness slowly
sank to the earth, intercepted the
light of the suns rays just at sun
set. But more than year has
now elapsed since the eruption in
the Straits Of Sunda, and 1t would
be difficult to trace it to the pres
ent richly colored skies at twi-
light. Perhaps for many months
part the earth may have been
passing through a belt Of meteor
ic dust,or perhaps some far-reach-
ing electral change IS in progress.
All that can be affirmed with GER
tainty is that any pleasant even
ing, about half an hour after SUM-
set, peculiar delicate rosy color
may be observed in the Western
heavens, and this phenomenon is
attracting attention in Europeas
well rs in the United States.
