Reader, let US drop word in your car
"Look OUT" in the course of a month, for
most charming little volume, from the
press of the publisher hereof, entitled
"Jlnuacy and June: or Out Door Think
inys, and Fiireside Nasi"ys:" by BENJA-
MIN +. TAYLOR. This is the writer's
brief and beautiful preface
"a little Preface to little BOOK is

portionless.
Somebody has declared that 'water

and, for proof thereof, 10! here little,

enough, indeed, to turn wheel, but to

the restless child. Now, Nature is the
mother, aud THE child"
We cannot conscientiously say that we
think very much Of "The Comet, 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 ?-suppose its tail is shorter than
have been those of its erratic brotherhood ?
Are these reasons why it shouldn't be re-
ceived in "good society" in America? 1t
is our comet-a regular American produc-
tion;" 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 a wider scope, but in the mean
time, no "entangling alliances With any
other country will be permitted In tais
resr~~', "lo"ih-lv no indulgence will he
shown" Apropos of our celestia | visitor !:
who has seen more felicitous and beauti-
full consideration Of the theme, than may
be found in the suhjoined lines, just hand
ed to us by our friend aud correspondent,
Mr.. B. F. TAYLOR? Fancy, sublimity,
poetry, are here:
