For a few years all re was sunshine and promise. The young , couple thought themselves in an Eden. 3,- They `had scrupulously lived just within -y" their income, which had beensomewhat .n I increased in permanent amount as one ;:'child after another was born to them. ie From the one wealthy,or,comparative1y as wealthy member of his ock, the pastor ' gs lid his wife had also received `many, o valuable and opportune gifts, in addition st to his annual contribution to the support 0 of the ministry. These gifts, delicately - e conferred, had helped the young couple over more than one sma-ll temporary d I difficulty, and given. them just cause for as , gratitude and praise. . pr It was not, then, till after about seven ` years of connubial felicity, and when ve children were clinging to their skirts, that gloom and darkness began evidently to gather round` them. The wealthy member of their little community died, and left no one, like-minded with him- self, to supply his lack of service; the pastor s income had,it was too plainly to be seen, reached its culminating point; theuceforward, any alteration must be for the worse,-for poverty was pressing, on his church,and he hadn t it in his i heart to urge upon his people thevclaims of a growing and expensive family. I There was about this time, too, a slight advance in the price of all the necessary ~ commodities of life; not much, but enough to make poverty more severely felt. The health of the pastor s wife began, also, to fail, and hisown energies - to sink. The romance of life had passed ; away, and thenceforward came its stern '1 . reality. It is no disparagement, no per- g l 1 ' sonal reection, at any rate, on the char- ..acter of the poor minister, since it is : lshared by so many besides, to say that t I he was not tted, either by constitutional 1` ' I heroism or by a long course of training, 3 7 I to cope with the stern reality and its fast mccumulatiug. diiculties. He became L moody, left off visiting his people, se- in cluded himself in the privacy of his gt ,study, where he sat -for hours and days: I" l ; glooming over his fading prospects. His 5` lcongregation, though they might have ` guessed the cause of the change they i witnessed in him, did not; or, had they `known it, they might with some justice 1}, have said, _\Ve have our trials too: we fit have increasing families, failing healthl tit and strength, we are struggling in life 7 with hard times; but we can t give in `l `this sort of way. VVe who are trades- 'h | men must put on a smiling countenance " ' to our customers, and not shut ourselves up all day in our parlours because trade 3,1` is slack and credit bad; and we who are workmen---why, if the iron be blunt, we -have to put to more strength. There - was'some force in this reasoning, and us some fallacy. If Mr. Kemp had been a lh blacksrnitli or a carpenter, he would pro- Tl bably have battered and banged away at 5'` his anvil or his bench, and the bodily `P exercise and exertion would have nerved f his mind to endurance of the unavoid- - able troubles of hislife.

Aftera. few minutes silence, disturbed only by an occasional hissing anvl rnnrmuring, I was soon startled by the awe-inspiring sound of escaping steam. In an instant, a faint glimmering of red, like a. sheet of lightniiuz, shot out from the overhanging brink, where`! was standing, and ran across the take. This was usignal _t'or achange in the whole pro- jrramme. Immediately the whole lake became of a bright red color, and four fountains burst , up in`di'erent parts of the lake.

Daylight came at last. A cold, rainy, cheerless day . dawned upon us. But this could not damp our ardor. After a good breakfast away we started --all hands--leaving our hot and contents In i take care of themselves. Descending the : precipitous sides, on the southern side of the crater, great caution must be exercised. 1 l Reaching the oor, we found it composed of swelling masses of black, brittle lava, of a comparatively recent formation. We walked over this, taking the precaution to carry rt good sized stick with which to test the thickness of the crust. Here and there we met with huge masses of solid rock, many of them weighing more than a hundred tons, which had evidently I been thrown from the crater. A VOLCANIC CAVERN. .Within a quarter of a mile of the burning lake is the entrance to a great cave, which my guide says is probably a mile long. We en- tered through a very narrow aperture, around which lay loose heaps of re-scarred stones. Lighting our candles, we pressed on, explor- ing in this direction and that, until we had gone perhaps half a mile, and yet we did l r l l u some places it is narrow, and in others widens to crawl where the roof was only two or three feet high, and in others the roof would be ten or twenty feet above our heads. Hanging from this roof, we found some choice specimens of ne black metallic lava in the shape ot stalac- tites, while stalagmites of the same material were found on the floor. After being in that dreary chamber three hours, we emerged into the daylight just as our candles were used up. Earthquakes are frequent here, and a slight shock might be sufficient to roll a huge rock against the aperture, and seal us up hermetic- ally in that dark cavern. Tm: LAKE or me. Suddenly we came to a. high bank, and look- ing down we beheld the lake of fire beneath about seventy-ve feet. The lake is some- thing mcre than a mile_ in circumference. There`, in full view, were real waves of liquid re, of a bright red color, splultering and splashing like ocean waves! A little island of hard lava stands in the middle of the lake, against the black sides of which the waves of tire dashed with tremendous fury, and break- ing on its jagged cliffs, they would cast their red spray high into the air. The sides of this lake are solid walls of red re, glowing with fearful intensity. We were standing on the windward bank, with a strong cold wind blow- ing down, yet the heat was so intense that we could only look a minute at a time, and then turn away to catch the refreshing inuence of the anal breeze.

Turning toward the lake, I behold a scene which I shall never forget. I, too, had to run off some distance, to escape the great heat. The whole surface of the lake was in a state of the wildest commotion. Wave clashed on wave, and all was confusion. Tremendous billows of tire rolled from every side of the lake, and meeting in erce conflict around the island in the centre, broke with fury over its black sides. Then, after receding again, they rushed to the onset once more, force, and, meeting together, shot up into the air perhaps one hundred feet-one vast spiral body of red liquid lava. which nally combed over and fell in graceful spray back into the lake again. When things had been restored to their usual order, the surface of the lake seemed to have fallen at least ten feet. with tncreasetl What Becomes of all the I 131% - day of our visit to the It and we warn nini... .. _ I.:_L I.-- .And 332 50 if not paid { _ within six months. poin{p;,',;} amount Illn ;l|IIl'lInln nh-..
