A LUCKY PREsENT1MENT-Aco rlespon-
dent of the Alexandra Gszette, speaking Of
late visit to England, says: II had gone
to Gravesend with the view of taking pas
sage, but an incident prevented. A white
swan, worthy to perform his flight through
the Milky Way. came near the vessel in
which it was my design to sail, and her
commander took his gun. The sequel we
need not mention. The blood of the dead
bird stained the river. We had just been
fresh from reading the Ancient Mariner, in
which the vessel encountered heavy calam-
tiles after the killing of an albatross, and
the circumstance determined me not to 60
with such barbarian. You will smile at
my superstition. You may even 60 through
Lausanne and tell tie incident, but don't
forget to add that the vessel from whose
deck the bird was shot has been missing
from that time, She perisheH with all on

pended in vain. Yet not in vain: even
though our feelings change, pass, perhaps to
our own consciousness-ceasea altogether
its not in vain-our life is always going
or-experience and solemn wisdom may
come with the coming time; and existence
is, after all, but series Of experiments
upon our spiritual nature. Our trials vary
with our years, and though we deem ltoc
often rightly that suffering and disappoint.

PRIME PEorLE.-Thers i . set Of
people says DR.. Chalmers, whom !
cannot bear, the pinks Of fashionable
propriety-whose every word is pre-
else and whose every movement is mn
exceptiopable but who, though well
versed in all the categories of polite
behavior, have not a particle Of soul or
Of cordiality about them. We allow
that their manners may be abundantly
correct. There may be elegance in
every gesture, and gracefullness in
every position not a smile OFT Of
place, and not step that would not
bea: the measurment Of the seyerest
scrutiny. This is all very fine but
what l want is the heart and the gaiety
of social intercourse-tbe frankness
that spreads ease and animation-the
eye that speaks affabiity to all, that
chases timidity from every bosom, and
tells every man in the company to be
confident and happy. This is what
conceive to be the virtue Of the text
and not the sickening formality Of those
who walk by rule, and would reduce
the whole of human life to a wire.bound
system of misery and constraint.

BrELA's CoMEr.-This comet, whose
period is about Elk and two-third years
when last visible to US in 1916, to the
surprise of astronomers, divided into
two nearly equal parts, which subse-
quently pursued the same course, but
gradually separated from each other.
It was by some supposed that their
distance would continue to increase,
and that one of the fragments, if ever
again seen, could only be recognized
as another or new comet. BY the
following notice from the London
illustrated News, of October I'd, it
appears that this supposition has net
proved to be correct, but that the two
fragments for the last six years have
been running a race at about the same
distance from each other as in 1916,
and perhaps may, before the next
return in 1859, be again united into
one:
The second part of Biela's comet,
which separated under the eyes Of the
astronomers in 1916 into two distinct
bodies, has Just been discovered by
Professor Secchi, of Rome, not far, ap-
parently, from the larger comet fact
which will, doubtless, be regarded az
one of extraordinary astronomical inter-
