HEALTH.

Heaven never granted q richer boon than
health and without which all other blessings
are comparatively valueless. Yet it is often
lightly esteemed and carelessly thrown away,
and never fully appreciated until it is gone. l
have seen the mistress of a splendid mansion.
surrounded by every luxury which wealth can
command, lying upon her couch pale and mis-
cradle, fretfnl and unhappy Within her reach
were the most delicate viands and exqnisite
fruts, yet she could partake Of none Health
was no longer hers. She had parted with it
for the sake of gratifying her vanity, by wear
ing thin shoes to display the beauty of her foot,
and now when consumption was preying upon
her she repented her folly, but it was too late,
and though she would willingly give all she
possessed, the priceless treasure could not be
recalled The thin, ghastly looking gentleman,
who recines in his luxurious easy chair, with
his gouty feet upon pillow, sighs and groans
in anguish, and thinks of the many weary
nights of pain, when the bed of down and silk
en- covering could bring him no repose. How
he enyies the pow-boy who whistles on the
green fields, whose step is elastic, and whose
heart is light and gay at his toll, while his sleep
is sound and refreshing.
What is wealth to the invalid but bitter
mockery which can yield no happiness! Then
prize the rich boon Of health. ye who possess
it, and lift your heart in gratitude to God,
even though your lot may be one of poverty
aud toll.

millions of miles distant, and is very rapidly
approaching the earth, and already shows

in October the comet will be of the most strik-
ing brightness, possibly the largest of the cen
tury, and at that time will be seen near Arc

an hour after sunset and an hour before sun

Pointers, and forming nearly q right angle be-
tween these and Arctnrus. 1t is now best

Dr. Gould also suggested in the last number
of his JOurna that from the similarity of the
elements it was possible that this comet was
Identical with the first comet Of 1927, and al
