THE COMET,

The nightly celestial visitor whose sud-
den appearance in the northern sky on
the evening of the first of July, has had
more attention given it for the past few
nights, than has been given the old Bear
and his pointers for a long time. And
no wonder, for its appearance is very at
ractive, sublimely grand, having neu-
cleus surprising in brilliancy and mag.
nitude, any of the planets or fixed stars,
aud a luminous train skirting half tie
blue arch of heaven.
From whence it came, or whittier it
goes, no one l presume knows. 1t has
dou btless for many hundred years been
sweeping with awful velocity through re-
gions of illinitable space, TO reach our
sun, which it has just passed, and is now
moving at the astonishing rate of ten de-
grees each day, on its journey to some
distant part of the universe Of God, to
return again to excite the wonder and
admiration of the people Of many gene
rations hence; for no mortal eye that now
beholds it, will witness its return.
Superstition has long regarded the ap-
pearance of comets as the harbingers OF
war and other serious calamities; and
when it this fiery messenger, shall a.
gain return to our earth, in the long ages
of the future, will it then find our conn
try involved in civil war? or will then
that prophetic time have come, when ma
ton shall have ceased to lift up sword a
gainst nation, ond learn war no more,
and when righteousness shall cover the
whole earth, as the waters cover the
sea.
It's position in the heavens, as seen on
the evening of the Sd inst, was north
35 degrees west, right ascension $50 de-
grees, north declination IS degrees, that

SOCIA DILITY.

soeIABILITY. s..
A few evenings ago, whilst waiting at
the station for friend, whom we expec-
ted on the Night Express, from Pitts
burgh, we overheard a conversation be"
tween two gentlemen, one OF whom, de-
plored the want of Sociabllity in the citi-
zens Of Upper Sandusky, and made the
remark that, "Sociabity had taken Its
leave OF the place before the town was
built" Now we were not ewes dropping,
a thing we dispise, but from where we
were sitting, the coloquist could be east
ly heard, nor was the subject Of conver-
saion of much Importance, only it struck
us as a little strange, that any person
should make such charge as this.
against the good people OF this village
Nor is it true, for we venture the opin
on, that in no place Of the same size in
Ohio, can there be found greater de-
gree Of good fellowship and social feel
ing. than among the denizens Of our vii
hge. II there is stiffness upon the part
Of any, and want of those common c.
vilities, so necessary to create better
state of society; and by which gentility
and proper breeding can be indicated; we
have hitherto been sadly mistaken in the
character Of the people with whom we
mingle daily; and have business relations.
Oftentimes, We form an estimate of hu-
man character from stand point flowing
from our own heated imaginations, that
causes us, TO canstrue in wrong man
ner, the actions of those, whom we have
by our own judgment already condemn
ed. Now it may happen, that reserve
upon our part stiffness in our M nners
"a cold interchange of the compliments
of the day and season. may ect as re-
pellent force upon others, with whom
we must by the laws Of society hold in
terce urse, aud then drawing from tbs
outward appearance of men, a hasty con
clusion of the inward feelings of the
heart, write them down in our minds as
cold and unfeelng, and wanting in high
degree,of good social feeling, Really the
lease oftentimes is the reverse, the fault is
in us, and not in them, or perhaps it may
be, that we have lofty opinions of our
selves, and think that we should be the
center around which every social feeling
should gather and forsooth, because pee
/ pie do not notice .us, as we think, sufi
ciently, and fondle with u.s. we form our
Town pinion of them, and set them down
as wanting in all sociabilty Now it is
true: >- gsa o. - ne .- . ..
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its fragrance on thcsdesert air. >
and as in the natural world, so it may be
in the animal, our stranger friend, who
upon he eve of leaving on the train,
may not have been sufficiently apprecia-
ted by the good people of our village,
and he can console himself with the re-
| Election, that his worth was not known,
or certainly he would never have left US,
with such a bad opinion Of US. But,
indie ID, we think he was mistaken in the
C araeter Of the people, and if ever he
returns, we hope he will conclude, that
our village is not destitute Of, true polite
ness and real genuine sociablity. d I
