The zodiacal light has commonly the form

lines, at an angle sometimes Of &c and some
times of 10 degrees. 0hen when Ilre atmes-

have heard Mr.. de la Caille say, that
on his voyage to Africa, he found the zodia-
cal light extremely distinct in the torrid zone,
where it rises perpendicuIarIy."
! In addition to the above, Recess New Cy-
clopedia describes the Zodiacal Light as
! brightness resembling that oil the milky
way, hut less bright, and which is sometimes
perceived in the heavens, at certain times oil
the year, after sunset, or before its rise
! Some have supposed, that this phenomenon
is the same with that which the ancients call.
ed trades, term by which they denoted a
meteor, or impression in the air like beam.
6 In the torrid zone, the sodiacal light is
frequently or almost constantly seen. At or
! near our latitude, it may be seen about the
time of The eq.linores" "Thls phenomenon
was first discovered by Descartes, and by
Childrey about the year 1882 "The length
of the zodacal light varies some times in re-
atty, and sometimes in appearance only,
| from various causes.'' Its exten, from the
sun to its point is seldom less than As, some
times $50 degrees in length; and its breadth
varies from 8 to 81 degrees"

POPULARITY.

On this qJect, the editor Of the Baltimore
Morning Chronicle, has the following just re-
marks:
50 What is vulgarly called popularity, is
DRUG so cheap in the political world, that it is
unworthy the acceptance of an honorable and
high minded man: il may he obtained by sy-
cophancy. double dealing, and By false
hood: it requires tie exercise of no other ia
lent than that Of deception the false patriot
has nothing more to do than to make pompous
promises, and to neglect to comply with these
promises when made. and he will obtain vul-
gar popularity in abundance. Real popula-
ritz is bird of prouder plume, and meta
phorically speaking, may be said to belong
10 the s1ueline genus-be wings his way to
The GENRE of light and glory, while he bears
plaudits from the giaring multitude below {;
ne j. still glsring on the beams, and finally IT
he does not reside in the blaze, it is not tor
want of effort, but because he has no a'mos-
phere, where he can exert the energies OF
