EPIGRAMS.

From Sunday Sermon by Rev. II. Preston
How unutterably fragile and insig-
nificent man is when brought into
comparison with the Infinite Power
which is the handspring of all move
ment apd the breath of all life.
Man draws the Almighty God down
to his help as truely as God attracts
towards Himself the thought and the
aspiration of our poor humanity.
Our lives are of slenderer fibre than
unspun silk, brittle as threads of
fne-drawn glass; and the Divine sym
pathy which stretches out towards us,
is intensified by the remembrance of
our fraility.
When God made man He put Di-
vine qualities into a slender frame
work, filled up with delicate clay.
because to such beings the deepest
secret of His tenderness could be spok-
en-.
Mans life is very brief, and great
tasks are laid upon him, which he
must complete within the allotted year.
The ages taken to build a reef OF
coral, or to decorate an insect and fiji
it for it's part in the economy of nat
ure, are vast by the side Of these care
fully counted days accorded to Gods
children for the overthrow of sin and
the building up of a deyout and be
lieving character.
To represent holiness as though il
involved the death of all passion, is
both false and pernicious. Saintli-
ness is not determined by the absence
of bodily inclinations, but is proper
toned to the number of inclinations
which are kept under control.

EarfhauaEea.

Among the many strange relation
ships which earthquakes hold to yari-
Gus natural phenomena there Is posi-
bly, one between the times Of their oc-
currence and of Irregularities In the
revolution OF the world. For many
years IL has been observed that there
are slight but irregular changes in lati-
tude, or. In other words, the axis OF our
earth does not always point In the
same direction. The pole wanders
about in a mean position, sometimes
In a path that IS nearly circular, while
Mt others 1t appears TO be exceedingly
irregular and even retrograde. The
world top Is not spinning truly, but 1t
slightly wabbles. When the change In
direction OF its axis Is sharp large
earthquakes have been frequent. IL a
swiftly moving body is, so to speak.
compelled to turn a corner, that 1t
should be subjected TO strains which
might result In yielding Is easily con-
celvable. Regarded from this point Of
view, the times at which strata In
seismic strain give way are to some
extent governed by erratic movements
In the rotation of our sphere. The
earthquake and the wabble may, how
ever be due TO n common cause, and
the question therefore Is one which re-
quires closer examlnation.-John Milne
In National Review.

A Good Horses Color.

A good horse cannot be bad color,
It Is said. 1t Is certain that Derby
winners are not drawn from certain
colors. Has a gray ever won the race,
or O dun or a skewbald or a plebald1
Has there ever been thoroughbred Of
the latter type? Quite black thorough
breds are rare, white still more so,
gray uncommon even among the less
exalted of public performers. The
"Stud Book" would not bear out these
statements where colors uncommon on
the race course are described. The ex-
PLANTATION is, Of course, that the horse
Is there described as he appeared as
foal. An owner of bay thoroughbred
looked up the "Stud Book" to find bis
purchase pictured as chestnut and
complained to the men Of whom he
bad bought the horse. The former
owner assured him that the descrip-
ton was correct at the time 1t was en-
tered. Other owners, less certain as 10
what color may appear when the first
