Two Morning Stars.

The planets Jupiter and Venus have
been nearing each other for several week $
past, and on the 2Sth Of September will
be in conjunction. This will be a beauti-
ful phenomenon. OF all the planets,
these two excel in glory. So pure and
silver-like is their lustre, as they light up
the eastern sky and herald the new born
day, we can almost fancy them the abodes
of uniallen and blessed spirits. In order
TO witness this sight, it will only be nee.
essary to curtail somewhat the customary
morning nap; and that will hurt no well
person.
In an article<or the Observer, in May
last, the writer incidentally alluded to O
conjunction of these same planets, then
soon to occur and from mere inadver
tence he remarked, lit would not be wits
messed again for many years - whereas,
OF necessity, it takes place at least once a
year. Herschel Saturn, Jupiter and
Mars being exterior planets, that is, lying
outside the earth's orbit, do not come in
TO conjunction with each other but at the
end oil comparatively long periods while
Venus and Mercury, being interior planets,
not only com into frequent conjunction
with each other, but also with each of the
exterior planets. A little study OF the
elements of Astronomy will unfold the
reason of these otherwise inexplicable
phenomena.-New FORK Observer,

THE COURSE OFIIFE.

Oh. let the soul its slumber break
Arouse its sense and awake,
To see how seon
Lite with its glories glides away,
And the stern footstep Of decay
Comes stealing on:
How pleasure, like the passing wind,
Blows by, and leaves us nought Behind,
But grief at last;
How still our present happ ness
Seems, to the wayward fa ncy, less
Than what is past
Our lives like hasting streams must be,
That into one engul6ing sea
Are doomed 70 fall
The sea Of Death, whose waves roll on,
Ger king and kingdom, crown and throne
Aud swallow all.
Alike the rivers lorlly tide,
Alike the humble strea mlets glide
To that sad wave;
Death levels poverty and pride,
And rich and poor sleeps side by side
Within the grave.
Our birth is but tho starting place,
Life is tho rnnning Of the race,
And death the goal.
There all our steps at last are brought,
That path alone, of all uAsOught
Is found Of all.
