The CoMfcT. Here is what the local of the Crescent Says of comets. It is good authority : ln 1861 it is beyond doubt and has been pro ven since that the earth passed through the tail of the great comet of that year. The day that the earth passed through there was lack of sunlight with a phosphorescent glare across the whole heavens, so much so, that before early twilight gas and candles were universally call ed into use. Just prior to the end of the last century great fogs spreading from the north of A frica Oyer Russia and over the known parts of the United States hung in the heavens for several weeks. The most violent storms which prevailed at that time did not dissipate them, but they remained stationary and at times emitted a disagreeable odor which sensibly anected cities and communities tar distant. At that time the earth was in proximity to two comets. of contact nloded idea mers estimates that if the whole of the present comet, tail, and all, were condensed into the solidity of gold, it could be held in the palm of the hand. The observatories in the northern cities have recently been thronged to take the last farewell look at. Coggia's comet. It is so thin and insubstantial that it will never return.

In 1850 it is said to have contained two thousand inhabitants, while now about three or four hundred would probably include all. Just as we enter the place we pass near the school-house, a neat, white building, with a fine grove of young pines in front. There are, 1 believe, some hundred or bo scholars. The burnt district was the former business portion. There are several fine-looking little brick stores, and if so many of them were not vacant, they would give quite a business place. The largest building is Sperry and Perry's two-atory brick hotel. There is no other edifice of the kind in Murphy's, and the accomodations are very good. 10 THE BIO TREES. Murphy's has always been the starting point fur this grove of trees, being about sixteen miles from here. The stage leaves that place about 7. arriving here at 11 ; and returning, it leaves the grove at 2, and reaches Sperry's Ho tel at 5. For one who is pressed for time, this arrangement is very convenient, aa it allows time for one to enjoy a leisurely walk among the trees and get dinner, which is by no means unwelcome, and take the return stage in the afternoon. done) is 450 feet. It is through this tree that we can walk or ride on horseback. At one end there is now quite a little lake formed by mel ted snow. As we trudge along we see all around us giants, but space will not permit giving their names much less descriptions of them. A lit tle distance from the "Father" lies "Hercules." This tree was the largest standing until 1862, when, in a storm, it was blown down, and fall ing across the little creek the top struck against the rising ground and was dashed into fragments. It is 325 feet long and 97 feet in circumference. We still pass on and the path carries us among other giants, each one bewildering in height and size. But our space forbids even a nonce of them. As we near the hotel we diverge s little and reach the "Chip of the Old Block." near the "Sentinels." By this is the dance-house erec ted on the stump of the tree of which this block, 25 feet in diameter and 20 long, is a chip. The story of how ibis tree was cut down that some men might make money by the outrage is too painfully familiar to neec repeating. , Pleasure-Seeker.

Witness the ten conimandmeuts aud the Lord's prayer the one the embodied moral law oi God, the other the daily utterance of praise, intercession, supplica tion and confession. Prayer is the expression of desire, hence there is no prayer which tho offerer does not try to turn into practical action. Now see how the devotions "daily" offered to God in compliance with the Lord's prayer will control the life. How affectionate, reverential, spiritual, obedient, industri ous, forgiving, watchful, must its offerer bs. No doubt the Lord's oraver is often employed as a mere form, by those who no not understand it, or think of its mean "g ; sna even ss it u had a magic power because it is the words of Christ ; .but no 'aan ever prayed it who was not a Chris tian, aud no Christian ever prayed it in sin.
