THE SHOCK OF 1663.
Whan Canuda, New York and l'on ney I
vani? Wer? Shaken Up.
Canada, Now York and Pennsyl
vania experienced a terrible shock
on Jan. 20, 27 au? fco, ?GGG. ?
quaint description of the occur
rence, published at tho timo, says:
"The heavens being sereno, there
was suddenly heard a roar like tho
noise of a great fire. Immediately
the buildings wero shaken with
great violence. Doors opened and
shut of themselves with a fearful
clattering. The bolls rang without
their ropes hoing touche^!. Cracks
appeareu in tho walls of buildings
and floors separated and in some
cases carno dowu. Chasms appeared | ]
in tho fields, and the hills seemed to
bo in motion. Tho fright of tho
Inhabitants waa sharod by tho beasts
and birds, who sent forth fearful
cries, bowlings and bellowings.
"Tho duration of this earthquake
was very uncommon. Tho first
shock continued half an hour beforo
it was ovor, but it began to abate a
quarter of an hour alter it started.
Three other shocks occurred the
sumo day. Thc second day there
was a moro violent shock, which
lasted a long time, and that night
some counted no less than thirty
two shocks, of which many were vlo
lent. Tho tremblings of tho earth
did not cease till July. Many trees
wero torn up and tim profiles of tho
mountains scorned to be much
changed. Springs and small Streams
wero dried up. Waters onco sweet
beenmo sulphurous mid the chan
nels in which rivers formerly ran
were so altered na to bc unrecogniz
able.
"Halfway between Trulousac and
Quebec two hills wero thrown down
and formed a point of hind which
extended an eighth of a milt into
the St. Lawrence river. The island
of Aux Coudres became larger tlum
it was beforo and tho channel of tho
river was greatly changed."
How He Thought King? Should Die.
Cramer waa Voltaire's Geneva
publisher. At a rehearsal of ono
of Voltaire's tragedies M. Cramer
was finishing his role, which was to
end with somo dying sentences. Vol
taire. ohjooting to tho manner in i j
which that death scone woe playod, | j.
criod out in accent* o? coothing
scorn, "Cramer, you lived liko a
prince during the four preceding
acts, but ut the fifth you die like a
bookseller,* Tronchin, being pres
ent, could not hell) in kindiieas in
terfering. "M. Voltaire," ?aid ho
deprecatingly, "oan you expect to
have gentlemen to bo at the expense
of dress?e and fatigue of getting up \
such long parts if you thu? upbraid r
them? On the contrary, I think c
they nil deserve tho greatest encour
agement at your hands, and aa to
my friend Cramer, I declaro that, so
far ns I nm a judge, he dies with tho
same dignity ho lived."
Voltaire raised his hoad and
glanced defiantly at Tronchin.
''Doctor/' he cried, "when you hnvo
kings to kill kill them your own
nay. Let mo kill mino as I please."

Whore 8he Had Goon Him.
Dr. Hook, a celebrated Yorkshire
dear, afterward dean of Chichester,
vas not a handsome man. An old
icquaintance says of him:
"Tho boy, Walter V urquhar Hook,

aid to hnvo tried lier 'prentice

nenting on his own ugliness and ro
>eatcd with grout amusement somo

On one occasion thc good vicar
?aw a little girl looking attentively
nto his face.
"Well, my dear," said he, "I dont
hink you've seen me before."
"Oil, yes, I havel"
"Where ?"
"1 saw you the other day climbing
ip a polo and I gave you a bun."
