"You must give up writing poetry,

It was little conspiracy between Mr..

without telling you who wrote them.
but pretending they wers mine, US IL

who was sitting with comical twinkle
in his eye. intensely relishing the situa.
tion. As for my uncle. his face was a
study. A battle was going on in his
heart between the hobby and his ailec-
ton for Rose and myself. Science and
love together puckcrcd mp his face into
the most grotesque complex expression
Of annoyance and satisfaction. R.t
his kindly nature proved too strong for
the resistance Of his crotchets. and he
submitted. He rose from his seat, and.
going ul 10 Rose, kissed her upon the
forehead and said:
'' ssall never be disappointed with
you, dear Rose. You have won my
heart, as well as Reginaid's.n
And so the hobby was vanquished.
When told Rose the whole story, she
was at first rather concerned at her in
nocent part in the conspiracy; for it
appeared TO her feminine scnsitivcncss
a cruel thing TO deceive my uncle in
any thing, and she was not satisfied
until he had b.en informed Of Wood

y Frightful Observation-Disclosures of
Earthquake shocks.

New YORK, January 14th.-Mail advices
from Panama of the 9th inst. contain the
following: At o'clock on the morning of
December 18th, the Spanish CITY of ANA
tillan, town of 5000 inhabitants, situated
% miles south of Guatemala, was awaken
ened by frequent shocks of earthquake.
which continued all day until 5:32
P. II, when very heavy shock
was felt, and at 5:36 P NJ the heaviest
shock came, throwing down many
walls and houses already fissured by the
early shocks. People We're thrown down,
the air was filed with dust from the fallen
houses, shock followed upon shock. and
the frightened people rushed 10 the large
plaza i'll front of the Church of San Juan,
and dragged the image of their guardian
saint outside the walls of the church, and
erected a temporary shrine in the middle
of the square, before which all prostrated
themselves. One hundred and thirty-one
shocks were felt the first day, principally
from east to west, 81 of which occurred be-
tween and 5:36 P. VI. The second day was
nearly as bad, and the shocks
continued for some days subse-
quently. Amatillan was DESTROYED by
earthquakes in 1890, which lasted
from April 2lst to May Sd. In 1876 it was
overfiowed by the rising waters of the lake,
and again in October, 1852, when
water gushed up III the middle of
the streets. Eight days afterward, when
the waters had subsided, dead fish
were found everywhere. The water be-
came unfit to drink, and many persons
died of fevers. Then, again, it was de-
stroyed by earthquakes in 1862 Lake
Amatillan is supposed to be the crater OF
an extinct volcano. An adjacent volcano,

Assassination and Robbery on Railway
Train.
PARIS, January 14th-The Prefect of the
Department of Eure was assassinatei in a
railway carriage His body was thrown
from the train while it was in motion. 1t
is supposed that the motive for the murder
was robbery.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
PARIS, January 14th.-The name of the
murdered Prefect was NJ. Barreme. He
came to Paris to receive instructions from
NJ. Sarrien, the new Minister of the Inte-
rior, and was returning to Evreut, the cap
ital OF the Department of Eure, when he
was assassinated. The corpse was found
with the eyes bandaged and skull mashed
in. The body lay between the rails on a
bridge, and it is evident that the murderers
intended to throw it into the Seine. NJ.

ANTIQUITY OF CHINESE LETTERs.-It
would seem to require life's study to
master the vast army of complicated char
acters which form the Chinese equivalent
of our simple alphabet Yet these are
comparatively easy compared with the far
more complex systems used by scholars in
the earlier ages of Chinese literature: and
it was an herculean task which was under
taken by the great Confucius (ahout the
year b. c. GOO when, as keeper of the
archives i'll the Royal State of Chow, he re-
solved to inspect and classify the hetero-
geneous mass of manuscripts committed to
his care and dating from the remotest ages.
The earliest of these records were inscribed
in sort of hieroglyphic, generally de-
scribed as g the tadpole character" Oflater
date was "the seal character still used for
certain classes of writing The invention
of the characters now in general use is at
