TIE EARTH trembled Tuesday night
The tread Of the One Almighty was felt
upon the earth and puny mar was made
conscious how insignificant, helpless an6
dependent he is. The disturbance took
place about eleven o'clock and ten min
utes. A brilliant meteor, very large, was
jolted out Of its place and shot through
space illuminating the heavens and earth
beyond the dazzling power OF electric
lights, OF mans power to describe. This
was followed by roaring, rumbling
noise, like thunder, then the earth !rem>
bled as if in the throes OF dissolution.
Houses shook and windows ratified. The
vibrations lasted fully an half minute wax
ing people ilom their sleep and alarming
the fears of those awake. Tie meteor,
that blazed forth in its wild flight to find
a Judgement on this terrestrial sphere, pre-
sented beautiful sight. The writer was
awake in his. bed, but so bright and
penetrating was the light of the meteor,
that its effulgence illuminated his room
through the windows.

teacher is one of his or her best friends,
ever ready and willing to make sacrifices
for the benefit of pupils. Very few pu,
pills fail to recognize the fact that the
teacher who is most exacting is re one
whose work is most efficient and lasting.

Nothing opens so wide door to vice, to
crime, to evil habits OF every description,
as the absence of occupation. The down
ward course of many a promising youth.
the ruin Of many a hopeful life, may be
distinctly traced to the void caused by hav
ing nothing definite and positive to do.
The faculties must be active, the energies
must he at work, and il not employed for
good they will be for evil.
