ANOTHER AURORA BoREAJs.-On Saturday night
last at III O'clock very beautiful "aurora" was vsl-
Oe along the eastern and southern section Of the hea-
vens. NO one In this city saw it, that have heard
of-and indeed we should not have known Of its ap-
pearahce at ALL but for the watchul eyes Of pretty
young lady who was at that moment reclining in a
beauteous disha6ie on her soft pillow, reading the
Herald and Chronice, and saying at the end of each
paragraph-"what dear fellow he isr'
This "aurora" was not near so brilliant as the one
recently seen. The colours We're somewhat fainter,
and hardly so varied in hue.
II begins now TO be believed among philosophers
that some great and mighty revolution has CON-
menced in the atmosphere of this earth-a change in
the electro magnetic principle, would appear by
the recurring phenomena of the "aurora borealis''
Who knows but this change has not some connec-
ton with the phenomena of the human mind? 1t is
now revealed by the recent discoveries in electro
magnetism that all motion is produced by the activity
of that invisible fluid. May not what we call intellect,
mind, or thought be receivable into some modifca-
ton of the same subtitle fluid in a peculiar state Of
motionl And if so may not powerful reaction of
the elements of nature, by some process now going
on, cause also greater activity and develope
ment cf the power and energy Of mind and intellect
sucn DC the case, The progressive CIVILIZATION OF
the race of man may depend the phenomena Of
the atmosphere, and may not the aurora borealis'
be the forerunncr of discoveries in science and
art? It's certain that all the great philosophical dis
coveres of modern times have taken place during the
last three centuries.
We know not what we are, or whittier we are going.
There IS an indv dual now in this city, making expert
ments in "electo- magnetism that will throw all the
recent efforts into the shade. We are beginning an
age of wonder.
