THE COMET

The European papers speak # Comet
that will appear within $4,000 niles of the
Earth's orbit, some time in the sear 1920
1t the earth should happen to be in that
portion of its orbit, nearest the rath of the
comet, in its approach to the Sun, they say
It's motion will be much disturbed, AMI Sc
rIous consequences may reasonably be an
pretended. N. Lalande has computed that
comets may pass within 10000 leagues
without senslbly deranging the motion of
the earth. The comet of I47O approached
so near the earth as to increase it's periodi-
cal time upwards of two DAYS; and had its
mass been equal to that of the earth it is
computed by La Place, the earth's motion
IN her orbit would have been equally re-
tarded, and consequently have increased
the length of the year nearyA9hours. AS
no such effect was produced The disturbing
force ofthe comet was considered insensible'
Tie mass 'of the comet was 15.OOOth mart
less than that of the earth. In I454 the
moon was eclipsed by comet; which
must have passed within 100000 miles of
the earth-and. it is known that no effect
was produced by its attractive force, either
on the earth or moon: The immense We
iochy OF comets may be principal re ason
why they do not sensibly affect the motion
OF the planets. That of 1850 was calcu-
late by Newton to move at. the rate of
100000 miles an hour, and Boybone obsery.
ed one at Palermo in 1870, whose velocity
ne computed to he equal to 2,5OO,OOO miles
an hour. The comet of 1850 is best known
ny astronomers. Its period is computed to
he about 70 years, though from its motion
being disturbed by the planets it is some
times longer. 1t appeared in 1852 yerv
bright; and was looked after with ye,y
great anxiety in 1858 but Clairault de-
termined from calculation that it would not
appear till April, 1859.
The increased length of its period he at
tributed to the influence of Jupiter and Sat-
urn, near which it would pass. 1t accord
lngy approached nearest the sun on the
18th of March, 1859. If this is the comet
to which the European papers refer it will
not appear until 1884 or S. The distance of
this comet from the sun, when in the extreme
end OF it's orbit, is about SO COO,OOO miles !:
yet it returns regularly, and its period has
been calculated by the mathematician with
in 30 days.

Carter. Esq. formerly Professor OF Languages IN
dartmouth College n. H., and, more recently
senior editor of the New York Statesman. Mr..
Garter is fayoraby known by two volumes Of ira
wells in Europe, aboat the years 1885 and 2
In 1929 so, his disease, pulmonary consumption
co,unelle,l him again to seek the milder climate
If the south Of Europe. and he accordingly salt
ea for Marseilles. in France. His disease alarm
;nely increased during his passage, and he thought
he shoul, not live to reach Marseiles. He how
eyer survived till the vessel reached that place,
ba, died in two or three days after arriving there
The lines below were written during his passage,
under the impression that he could not live to
roach the land, and were addressed TO friend in
New York. They present striking display OF
samness aud intellectual visor, combined with
-, vivid consciousness Of his own situaton.in one
whose body was upon the verge of dissolution.
THE CLOSING SCENE,
BURIAL AT SEA.
Erom his room to the deck they brought him dres-
sed
In his funeral rites by his own request
With his boots. and stock and garments on,
Aud nausht but the breathing spirit gone.
For he wished a child might come aud lay
An uns,artled hand upon his clay.
Then they wrapped his corse IN tarry sheet,
To the dead, as Araby's spices. sweet.
And prepared him to seek the depths below,
Where waves ue'er beat nor tempests blow
No steeds with their nodding plumes were here,
No sable hearse and no cofined bier,
To bear with pOmp and parade away
The dead TO sleep With his kindred clay
But the little group-a silent few.
His compani.as, mixed with the hardy crew,
Stood ,houghtfully around till PRAYER was said
Der the corse Of the deaf unconscious dead.
Then thew bore his remains to the vessels side,
Add committed them safe to the dark blue tide
One sullen plunge. and the scene is GER
The sea rolled on as 1t rolled before.
In that classical sea, whose azure yies
" ith the green of its shores and the blue OF its
skes,-
In some pearly cave-in some coral cell
Oh the dead shall sleep as sweetly-as well,
As if shrined in the pomp of Parian tombs.
Where the East and the South breath their rich
perfumes;
Nor forgotten shall be the hunblest one.
Though he sleep in the watery waste alone,
When the trump Of the angel sounds with dread,
And the sea, like the earth, gives up its dead!

"h,islRgeace is the life of Liberfy''
An American and not take paper! | should
respcct him more, and pity him less. if | saw
him with newspaper, althous destitute of coat
nr breakfast. What could be a more noble spec
,acle than freeman, who would sooner deprive
themselves Of those articles which we call neces-
sarics, than to remain ignorant of the worlds his.
tory in this wonderful age. On the other hand,
what il more abiect and base than to throw ava,
an vicious iuduseDces. an hundred times the
price Uf paper. and for the want of one remain
unqualified for the discharge OF our publicduties.
The history of the past aye Is useful, but the
history OF our own time Is Indispensable. Men
who undertake 20 sur without 1t will grope in
thick darkness; aud will be unable to judge with
accuracy of pubic affairs. and will be RESPONSE
hle 10 their families. their country, aud their
God. for their refusal to acquire knowledge.
The history Of our own times Is i matter Of
Secu!iat concern to Us, because IL is the age of
astonishing changes; OF changes too that affect
our dea est hopes; but the history of the present
times coucerns US more especially because these
times are on Olen.
But he who is so selfish as to think Of none
but himself? Who will not have an eye to the in.
tellisence Of those about him? WHO will not re-
gard the innocence. peace and elevated state of
society. which comes from disseminating know
ledge; and that cheapest and most general
diffusion of knowledge, the circulation of the
newspaper: All. do we ~ fleet sufficiently how
important an auxiliary of virtue it may becomes
Do We thiak how much more efficient II may be
than even the pulpit! How much wider the cir
culauon of its sentiments! and, transitory as
thew are. how much more lasting its impression.
Again we ask, who will not take little pains,
lkkl IA, e., g.. a.
exercise of their rghtss Who will not in this
way do something to strengthen the barrier
which freedom has thrown up in the western
world against the ravases Of despotism!
But. above all, who is there can bear to send
his offspring upon the world untitled to take an
active part in it, and limited in the power Of be.
ius useful to themselves and otherss The young
OF either sex who are ignorant Of the times can
not come IN competition with others. Small 10.
deed, in comparison, is their chance for exalted
characters. or success in enterprise.
