Reader, let US drop word in your car ::
"Look out" in the course of a month, for
a most charming little volume, from the
press of the publisher hereof, entitled
'.Juauary and June or Out Door Think
inys, and Flresile lNusi"ys:" by BENJA-
MIN L. TAYLOR. This is the writer 5
brief and beautiful preface:
"a little Preface to little Book is Il
Jewel SO tnese random sketches are not
portionless.
"Somebody has declared that 'water
runncth by the Mill, the Miller wots not Of
and, for proof thereof, 10! here a little,
caught iii the hollow Of ones hand. Not
enough, Indeed, to turn wheel, but to
queuch, may be, roses or Il robins thirst !;
To baptze an infant love of nature; to spar
kle in dcws, on opening leaves Of thought.
Hark says the mother, AS she soothes
the restless child. Now, Nature is the
mother, aud THE child"
We cannot conscienriously say that we
think very much of "The Comei, about
which some people have lately talked SO
much; although, as stranger, we do not
think it has been treated as it deserved to
have been. Suppose its coming nnsn't an
nounced ?-suppuse its tail as shorter than
have been those of its erratc brotherhood !?
Are these reasons why it shouldn't be re-
ceived in "good society" in America? 1t
is our comet-a regular "American produc-
tom" nor have we permitted it to be
seen beyond California, the latest Of our
acquisitions When next it " streams its
horrid hair" in our sky, our, progress !"
may give it wider scope, but in the mean
time, no "en.angling alliances" With any
other country will be permitted. In TINS
resP~~', "i"";h.lv no indulgence will he
shown" Apropos Of our celestial visitor :
who has seen a more felicitous and beauti-
full consideration Of the theme, than may
be found in the subjoned lines, just hand
ed to us by our friend and correspondent,
Mr. b. F. TAYLOR? Fancy, sublimity,
poetry, are here:

Not a ras a ribbon adorniis her spars,
She has s,uciIy sailed by ''tle red piaa-t M,rs;'
She has ..doub-d trium, ,ant, the Cape Of the Sun.
And the sentinel stars without firing a gun.
