A SMILE.

By WILLIAM ID. GALLAGHER.
Far In the sunberous West,
Chilli r, and piled on the horizons verge
A dark cloud lay AT rest.
There was no wind Ia urge
u from It's quiet couch-and there IL lay,
Dreaming the dewey wilight hour away.
But while look'd, II seemed
By some convnsion, inward, to be torn,
Soon on the air, II streanied
In fragments and was borne,
AL rent and tatter'd from my aching sight
ksver'd too W idely e'er to Te-unite.
In their paiernal home
numerous circle lived, In happy peace,
They fear'd no ills 10 come,
But dream'd OF joys increase.
ny want of poverty unpinch'd, they ne'er
Had known the busoni's storm-the hsarts y despair.
But from their quiet hearth,
Misfortune soon, or discoid, swept them far.
They went wind driven forth,
Guided by no fk'd star,
Some roam the earth-sone sail tho blowy main
SeveI'd too widely to unite again.
But, as tho ample space
Rsceiv'd, and all absorb'd that scattef'd cloud,
SO, when their mortal race
Ends with the pail and shroud,
Shall THEY, by Infinite space receiv'd, ascend
And havs new being, without change OF end

portions Of a nebulous body which re-
wolves around the sun, and comes to its
aphelion near the orbit of the earth about
the 18th of November. 1t was on en-
trely independent evidence that the bo-
dy aflording this Light, usually denomi-
mated Iodiacal Light, was inferred to be
the nebulous body itself.
AT 10 minutes past o'clock an auro-
raj cloud, family luminous, branched off
from the extreme parts Of the foregoing
luminous pyramid, and extended itself in
a long zone, rounded at the vortex, to-
wards the pole, Cor perhaps the magnet
ic pole starting near Regulus, and pas
sing in its western line near the stars
Gamma and Zeta Of Leo, stretching a.
cross the head Of Leo Minor, and termi-
mating near the star Theta of the Great
Bear. In five minutes it began to fade
away, and shortly disappeared.
4. In order to be able to estimate the
height ofthese bodies at the time oftheir
extinction, as well as their velocity, it is
a matter Of great interest with astrono-
mers to be able to identify individual me-
teors, as seen by different observers, at
stations more or less remote from each
other. With the hope of being able to
institute such comparison with others
abroad, we give the following particu-
lars respecting single meteors, as observ-
ed and noted ut the moment by Mr.
LOOMS.
One minute before 4 O'clock, mean
time, a bright meteor in the north, with
train, lasted one second. Its path was
about Is deg. in length, making an an
gle Of 60 deg. with the horizon inclning
to the west, and terminating 10 deg. be-
meath Zeta Of the Great Bear. It was
as large as Jupiter, but with faint, dus-
ky light. Twelve minutes past 4, some-
what north of east, brilliant meteor de-
scribed path of 90 deg. incIining to the
west, making an angle Of rs deg. with
the horizon, s. terminating near the Be-
ta Boots. 1t lasted at least two seconds,
was somewhat lighter than the rreced.
ing, left a brighttr train of8 deg. in length
and several minutes in diameter.
AT eight minutes past 5, meteor ir
the south east described a scrpentine
path Of at least % deg. almost pcrpen
dicularly to the horizon, inclining to the
east, and terminating G deg. below Den
eboIa. 1t had no train, was of remark
able white light, differing in this respect
from every other except one, which i
next to be mentioned, was as large rs ,
star Of the first magni! !ude, and lasted two
seconds. At four minutes later, in the
same quarter of the heavens, q very sim
liar one was seen, which lasted also two
seconds. Tho paths of both were ser
pentine, and the purity oftheir light dis.
tinguished them from every other meteor
seen from to 6 o'clock, during which
time we were closely observing the east
ern heavens.
\ 1t may be conjectured that the exhi
! bition was more brilliant at some plac,
to the westward Of us, perhaps in the re
/ gion Of the Sandwich Islands.

THANKSGIVING.

Now, "wild November hath his bugle
wound :" and the noses of our good cltl-
zens tingle in the blast. Now the thick
stars twinkle with new lustre in the sap
phire sky, and on earth a well lined dou-
blet becomes a comfortable envelope
The brasses Of the paror stoves have
DOTTED their paper caps, and the coal fire
sparkles right merriy. Now flannel
waistcoats are not to be dispensed with;
the hypocondriac looks bigger about the
shanks, and the merchant tustles along
the side walks in close buttoned spen-
Ger. The white muslin gown, peeping
through the open pelsse, has a look that
makes ones teeth chatter. Denmark
satin shoes, squeezing silk stocking
close to a pretty little foot, hugely de-
light the Doctor, for they speak Of a fair
patient and long bill. Now the loud
wind rumbes iuriously in the chimney,
putting down the smoke in the teeth Of
black Dinah, the cook. The window
blinds flap learfully in the night, and the
prudent watchmen snore before the fire.
The stage thunders sonorously over the
frozen ground, and the light dearborn
clatters so as to be heard atar off. Now
Thanksgiving approaches, and dead tur-
kies become abundant. The apprentice
leases the tailor to finish his new coat in
time for the ball, and Sally goes shop
ping for ribbons, combs, and false curls.
The good master Of the house begins to
fret ut the Unsuitable demands Of the
cook for spice, plums, and suet, so that
he breads the tartariah regions Of the
kitchen more than the tarry waves ofthe
river Styx, and the savory smells OF
mighty preparation become hateful to his
nostrils. Now the sportsman shoots al
the live bear that has been set up at so
much shot, without his consent being
first had and received-a hundred mus
kets are popped of at poor unoflending
turkies, that are past making com,
plant. Now every amateur is busy
practising at the new anthem, and some
ofthem make doleful melody for thanks
giving strain. Now Dolly is up to hel
elbows in flour and grease, kicks the kit
ten out o:the way, and her answers te
every -meddling he creature are as short
as pie crust. Now milk and eggs are
scarce and dear, and the thump Of the
chopping knife is heard in our land. -
Now the country parson looks smiling a
the various gifts Of good things sent te
his mansion, and resolves to pay fol
them by gloriously short sermon, sweet
ened with eulogies on our happy land, -
and spiced with sprinkling Of politics.
sometimes he hesitates whether bis ten
children shall stay at home, or dine at the
rich deacon's, and he hopes to attend two
or three weddings in the evening. Now
the children scorn bread and butter, and
roar for pumpkin pie. Now the fattes
turkey is stuffed ready for the spit, the
chickens are inferred in tomb of paste
and the plum pudding is prepared for th'
oven against the morrow. And the bel
rings eleven, and with watery moutl
l 60 to bed, resolving to eat no break
fast, SO that my stomach may be prim
for the dinner! Spectator and Album.

VIRTUE STRENGTHENED BY OP.
POSING VICE.

] on have seen the blooming rose,
Hard struggling to Withstand
The unrelenting gale, which blows
Destruction o'er the land;
But, rising, when the storm was o'er,
II looked more lovely than before.
So Virtue. a celestial flower,
With Vice must Oft contend,
Though, as the rose beneath the shower,
'ris sometimes seen to bend;
Yet. when the storm has passed away,
New strength and beauty twili display.
Firm and more firm it will appear,
Esch folly TO oppose,
When malice, envy, hate, and fear,
IN order sound IL close;
Fof these like toll to mans weak fern,
Serve but to strengthen, not to harm.
Like lights upon rocky coast,
Lake stars Ia midnight drear,
Twill guide us In our wandering course,
I'hro' this dark valley here;
And, with a calui, celestial ray,
Conduct us to eternal day.

Musical SoIREE.-By referring to
our advertising columns, it will be per-
ceived that MIR. DIxoN, the Naiiona
Melodist and Ventriloquist, will give
another Entertainment at the State
House, this evening. His exercises or
Friday evening, and last evening also
were well attended, and gave great sat,
islaction to all present. Mr.. ID. we are
assured, has been induced to give one
more entertainment in this place at the
urgent solicitation of many Of our most
respectable citizens, some Of whom were
deprived the pleasure of attending on
the above evenings.-A fashionable au-
dence may therefore be expected. The
Providence Daily News in reference to
his entertainment in Attleborough, says
&c. w. DIXON, the National Mclodist, vis-
tied Attleborough on Saturday Evening, and
attracted one of the largest audiences ever
assembled on such an occasion. SO great
WIS curiosity W "itness Ills uIsPiays th"I MA
ny persons came ten or twelve miles. And
all were highly delighted with his National
eflusions and classic extravaganzas. We un-
derstand Mr. Dixon has received an invita-
ton to visit New Bedford on Friday Evening;
the Bedford folks had better get their sides
insured, for DIxoN's "pealcr."
o. We understand that Mr.. DIXON will,
as heretofore, give the proceeds to the DOR
CAS- SOCIETY.

has tackled ship, hoisted the Whig flag, and
is now prosecuting her course with full sails,
even to the moon-raker, in search of Van Bu-
rem prvatecrs. Mr.. Beals, the senior editor,
has retired from the concern, and the other
partners say
{" In announcing this alteration in our co-part-
nership, we consider it our duty to state distinct
ly to our patrons that we intend also to make a
change in the political character Of the paper
The support-however humble and inconsidera-
ble-which tho Gazette has for some ears given
to the administration, was given honestly and sin
cerely. But as many Of lis recent measures have
appeared to us to be entirely at variance with the
genius and spirit of our republican Institutions
