vent their becoming covered with thick
rust, which is not only troublesome, but
corrodes and injnres the metal. The
habit Of cleaning every tool you use and
putting it under cover every time you
finish using it, will save great deal of

Comets,

In ancient times, the visits of comets
were supposed to portend psstilence and
war and in the reign of Justinian,
when woimnence "blazing stars" appear.
ed, the direful expectations, were abso
lutoly fulflled-not, however, that those
calamities, which desolated larges por.
tions of the Eastern Roman Empire, had
any connection with the comets. The
first alarmed mankind in the month of
September, A. D. 53l, and was seen for
twenty days in the western quarter of the
heavens, sh ooting it rays into tho north.
The second appeared A d. $50, and in.
creased to so large size that the head
was in the east and the tail reached west.
1t was visible for forty days the sun at
the time exhibiting an unusual pleness.
Varro records a tradition, that at tho
time of Ogygcs the father of Grecian
antiquity, the planet Venus changed her
color, size, figure and course a prodigy
without example, either in past or sue
ceeding ages. This refers to 1767 years
before Christ. Tremendous comets ap.
peared ir the west; two generations prior
to the reign of Cyrus; but one Of the
most splendid comets was seen forty.four
years before the birth of Christ. After the
death Of Julius Caesar, long haired star
was conspicuous to Rome and to the ma.
tions, during the games that we're exhib.
tied by young Octavian, in honor of We
nus and his uncle Julins Caesar, and the
vulgar believed that it conveyed the di.
vine soul Of the latter to heaven. The
superstition was universal among the an
clients, that a comet, "from its hotrid
hair shakes pestilence and war p But
modern philosophy and research success
fully dispelled such vain and idle appre-
hension, in all civilized nations. At the
birth of the great ,Matbridates, King of
Pontus, two large comets appeared whose
splendor is fabulously said to have
equalled that of the sun. They were
seen for seventy-two days together, and
occupied forty'fve degrees, or the forth
part of the visible heavens. Seneca the
Roman philosopher who lived in the
Christian era, writes : The time will
come when the nature Of comets and
their magnitude will be demonstrated,
aud the course they take so, different
from those of tho planets and posterity
will wonder that tho preceding ages
should be ignorant in matters so plain
and easy to be known" Arago thought
that not less than seven thousand comets
revolyed in our system Comets some
times pass unobservedly by the iuha bit
ants of the earth, 10 consequences Of the
part of the heavens in which they move

and daily observation fully attest but,
the female nature is admirable, indepen.

the divine system, that it should have
its beauties and benefits distinct from
those which result from its social posi-

its Creator that a large propotion Of
both sexes, and therefore Of women,
would in every civilized State remain
without the connubial association. Few

" Come fairies. come the moon is up
And the stars are brightly shining;
Come cease to drink from your flowing cup
Beside the stream reclining.
Far, far below in the meadows bright
Queen Nab awaits your coming:
Wen have merry dance Tonight
Let not one fay be roaming"
AND quick as tho't from ev ry nook
Peep'd forth the tiny faces,
With fire-fie for their coronets
And vapor for their laces.
Their wands were made ofthe moons pale light,
They had rain. bows for their sashes,
And their diamonds were of dew as bright
As c'er in the sunbeam flashes.
All twas merry merry sight,
Those fairy lads ard lasses,
As they tripd down the mountain sido
Among the moss and grasses.
But when they reach'd the meadow ground
The zephyr his harp was playing
So Titania ask'd them all around
Where they had been delaying.
They form'd d the magic ring in haste
For time was swiftly flying,
And said they had no time to waste
The starlight would be dying.
And in laughing glee the hours ran out,
And they did not heed the morning
Till the fairy king, with an earnest shout
To the dancing elves gave warning -
" See, fairies, see in the eastern sky
The clouds are family blushng,
And Ger the landscape far and nigh
The light of morn is rushing.
Come leave the dance your couerts seek
Before the shades are banishd |"
And ere the voice had ceased to speak
