THE SHOCK OF 1663.
When Canad?, New York ?nd Penney!?
vania Wero Shaken Up.
Canada, Now York and Potmsyl- (
vania experienced a terrible shoe's
on Jon. 26, 27 and 28, 1663. ? j
quaint description of the occur
rence, published at tho timo, says:
"The heavens being serene, there
wa? euddoiily hoard a roar like tho
noise of a great lire. Immediately
the buildings wore shaken with
great violence. Doors opened and
shut of themselves with a fearful
clattering. The bells rang without
thoir roues being touched. Cracks
appeared in tho walls of buildings
and floors separated and in some
cases carno down. Chasms appeared
in tho fields, and the hills seemed to
bo in motion. Tho fright of tho
Inhabitants waa shared by tho beasts
and birds, who sent forth fearful
cries, bowlings and bellowings.
"Tho duration of this earthquake
wus very uncommon. Tho first
shock continued half an hour beforo
it was ovor, but it began to abate a
quarter of an hour after it started.
Three other shocks occurred the
eanio day. Tho second day there
was a moro violent shook, which
lasted a long time, and that night
nomo counted no lees than thirty
two shocks, of which many were vio
lent. Tho tremblings of the earth
did not cease till July. Many trees
wore torn up and tho profiles of tho
mountains seemed to be much
changed. Springs and small streams
were dried up. Waters once sweet
beenmo sulphurous and the chan
nels In which river? formerly run
woro so altered os to be unrecogniz
able.
"Halfway between Tadousao and
Quebec two hills woro thrown down
and formed a point of hind which
extended an eighth of a mile into
thc St. Lawrence river. The island
of Aux Coudres became larger tlum
it was before and tho channel of the
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, objecting to tlie manner in
which that death scone was played,
criod out in accent* ot soothing
scorn, "Cramer, you lived Uko a
prince during tho four preceding
nets, but at tue fifth you die like a
booksollcr," Tronchin, being pres
ent, could not help in kindness in
terfering. "M. Voltaire/9 said ho
dc pr ecu tingly, "can you expect to
have gentle men to bo at the expense
of dresses and fatigue of getting up
such long parts if you thus upbraid
them ? On the contrary, I think
they nil deserve tho greatest encour
agement nt your hands, and as to
my friend Cramer, I deo larc that, so
far OB I am a judge, he dies with tho
same dignity he lived."
Voltaire raised his head and
glanced defiantly at Tionchin.
''Doctor," he cried, "when you hove
kingi to kill kill them your own
way. Let me kill mine as I please/'

Whore Sho Had Saan Him.
Dr. Hook, a celebrated Yorkshire j
vicar, afterward dean of Chichester,
was not a handsome man. An old
acquaintance says of him:
"The boy, Walter Farquhar Hook, :
might almost have been described ,
AS ooo of those on whom nature is
said to have tried her 'prentice 1
hand." He was very fond of corn
men Ling on his own ugliness und re
peated with great amusement somo
of tho "left bunded compliments"
ho had received.
On ono occasion the good vicar 1
saw ft little girl looking attentively ]
into his face. ,
"Well, my dear," said he, "I dont i
think you've soon me before." '
"Oh, yes, I havel"
"Where?"
"I saw you tho other day climbing
up a polo and I gave you a bun."
