JOHN HANSON'S NIGHT

John Handson was bluff bov OF

less fellow the boys thought good
deal of him, and he thought good
deal of himself On one occasion his
father had business which called HIM
TO distant city, and left John 10
take care of the family. John felt
very proud of his lrust, and did well
for several days, acting under the
counsel aud advice of HE mother,
just as he ought 20 have done By
and-by he became impatient, and did
many things quite independent Of
her The younger children did not
like his sayings aud doings at all /;
" He orders us 70, nd, y they SAID, ''as
if he Were king" Al last he took
the entire management of lhings,and
one day acted not only against his
mothers wishes, but talked very ill.,
temperedly TO her Going to bed
that night, he could not sleep. His
conduct towards his mother troubled
him, and he tossed from one side of
the bed to the other, trying TO get an
easy place. He blamed the bed and
Bridget who made II, and then he
thought he was sick, and worried
along for some time; IN fact, John
suspected what the matter really was
only he was too proud 10 own It.
lie knew ii was his treatment OF his
mother that troubled him, and for n
long time he tried TO sleep II off, or
think of something else, or excuse
himself in one way or another Hap
ply, John did not succeed. Con
science would do its work, and John
listened TO all chat it said and the
consequences was, that pretty near

THE COMET.

The great comet of 1886, which
was expected in 1913, and on ac-
count of whose non-appearance Sir
John lierschel put Grape on his
telescope, Nj. BONNIE, a distinguished
German astronomer, finds not to be
due I'LL 1883. With immense labor,
he has gone over all the int icale cal
culatlons, aud estimates that the COM
ct would be retarded to that extent
by the influence Of the planets. The
periods OF IT'S return have ranged
from 259 to 1913 years, and il it shall
not return before 1853, its present
period will be longer by nine years
than ever before.
