Of fluid or jelly-like substance, which fell
around and upon him, producing sulphur
Gus smell, great difficulty Of breathing,
and a feeling offaintness with strong SEN

cover from his establishment, he perceived
the body Of the meteor passing above him
seeming to be about mile high. 1t then
appeared to be in diameter shout the size
of a large steamboat pipe, near mile in
length Its dimensions varied soon be-
coming first much broader, aud then wan

former was reduced about eight inches,
and tina latter fourth Of q mile, when il
separated into pieces which fell to the
earth, and almos. Immediately he heard
the explosion, which he says was fromsn-
dous.
On arriving here in the morning, his
face had the appearance Of having been
severely scorched his eyes were much
affected, and he did not recover the shock
it gave his system for two or three days.
This is really marvellous story ; bus Mr..
Palmer is a temperate and an industrious
man, and man Of integrity aud We be-
lieve any one conversing with him on tho
subject, would be satisfied that ho intends
no deception; but describes the scene as
nearly as possible, as it actually appeared.
Probably, however, his agitation at his
sudden introduction to such scene, caus-
ed the meteor to be somewhat magnifed tu
him. Witnesses here speak Of the sparks
which were given off; probably one Of
those sparks fell aud enveloped Mr.. Pal-
mer. In addition to its light, Mr.. Palmer
states that IFS passage was accompanied by
sound like tina. Of car moving on rail-

A BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

Genius is not to be wasted on the mere
personal enjoyment Of its possessor. He
is not idly to follow the eccentric impulses
of imagination, because he loves TO wander
in IA maze Of luxurious thought, 10 dream
delicious pleasure in the sunshine, Of listen
entranced to the voice Of nature, "telliDg
Of things which no gross ear eau hsar."-
This were to abuse the gif:, to bury trea-
sure, which might have enriched world,
and I" obscure light which shOuld have
led to heaven from whence it came. The
birds sing out their thankfulness. the flow
ers shed forth their incense, tho stream,
murmurs praise, there is whisper Of
Gods love in the breeze, and the leaves
it plays among are tremulous with joy;
and to be silent amongst them all, to have
the soul flied with beauty aud delight, yet
keep i. locked like miser's chest, is to b.
ungralelul to God, aud unfaishful to man.

TILE DEATH OF A POET"
BY p. KENYON KILBoURN.

BY p KENYON KILBoURN.
Another song is ushHl-ano,her harp is broken -
How fast the good of earth are heavenward flying
Our greetings and edieus are scarcely spoken,
Ere those We love are Numbered with tho diving
The rosy wreaths which Love and Hope are brading
To deck the poets brow, must soon decay;
The tints which glow on Beauty's cheek are fading
Minstrel and theme together pass away!
The good of olden days-the high in station
Prophets and seers who sod to win name,-
Who erst had shone the beacons Of salvation,
Or blazed like meteorsin the heaven of fame:
Oh, they are gone-all gone Yet still their glory
Cleans like the sunlight DER the earth and sky,
And angel'chroniclers have carved their story
Upon the Shrines Of Immortality!
AS when bright star from the heavens departeth,
Lamented Bard we mourn that thou art gone
Vet. while in solitude the tear-drop starteth.
We watch thy course and long to follow on.
we mourn that thou art laid rest Oh, rather
Should we rejoice to share thy blessed lot;
The sinless and the beautiful shall gather
In coming years, around that hallowed spot.
And DER the mansion where thy dust reposes
The cypress and the willow long shall wave;-
Returning Spring shall deck thy couch with roses,
And sweet wildfowers shall blossom er thy grave
Then. when the world in natures smile rejoices,
And the gay sunbeams through the foliage steal,
The earliest songbrds there shall blend their voices
And chauns their mathis for thy spirits veal!
There is from death q migh,ier defender
Than frownng battlemert or iron mail.
Which nerves the timd where the brave surrender
Which cheers the Saint when Chiefs with fright
grow pale.
Oh, star-eyed FAITH to thee-to thee it's given
To triumph DER the Monarch OF the Tomb
To guide and guard the spirits flight to heaven,
Freed from the terrors and the guilt OF doom.
Yet shall the Minstrel waken from his sIumbsrs,
His lofty lays to wider worlds be given;
And we. who miss and mourn his tuneful numbers,
Ere long may list their melody in heaven.
Ev'n now. while we all vainly are deploring
That his frai dust is laid beneath the sod,
His spirit. freed from earthly dross, is soaring
In the pure realms fast by the throne of God.
