was of a dark azure colour. The air was.warm and et!rene—the
horizon was all around bounded by, nebulous, or .feathery,
clouds--4he real sun was daazlingly bright, and on the same
altitude, -about the distance of half • a cardinal point to the
south of its situation, its counterfeit shone with scarvily less
brilliancy ! It emittcd rays, appeared of a similar size, w.ls
encircled alio with 'a light halo, and. !night have been mis-

and gratifying the beholders.—(t3eYa:t CiarCnL.,*:)
