COMETS.

In these latter days we have free
Schools and Bibles in them. the peo-
pie are much wiser and smarter than
the people we're of Olden times, bnt
still some Of them get scared about
Comets. which are looked upon as a
kind of irregular bodies and tending
to mischief. On the approach of a
large comet some years ago, some
half Astronomer predicted that its
course was such, that it must
strike the earth, and so make a col
lision of the trains.
"1st. The comet will not strike
the earth ; but
End IF it does strike, it will never
do in q second time.
In case. however, any gentlemen
hollis opinions different from the
above and is willing to back his views
TO a limited extent, in order to arrive
at the truth in this momentous matter
we hereby-make the following propo-
s%itinns,
1st. We will wager 20, 900 dollars,
more or less, that if the comet offers
to strike, we will dodge before it
does it; in other words. that it can't
be brought to the scratch.
2nd- A like sum that, if it does
strike, it will be knocked higher MOI
a kite.
Ord Twenty-Five times the above
amounts that, in case the comet strikes.
it won't bulge the earth six inches by
actual measurement.
4th. A like amount that after the
comet strikes its. tail drops.
9th. An optional sum that the earth
can knock the comet further than the
comet can knock the earth, mines time:
out of eleven.
9th. That after the comet get:
through striking the earth 1t will
never want to strike anybody else.
The propositions are intended tc
cover the case of any gentleman on
this globe, or on the comet, or else
where.
Money to be in the Banks of New.
foundland.
Time of striking and other arrange.
ments to be fixed by the parties.
Applicants for bets have a right to
select any comet they eheose."-E.

This delicious preparation, made from the
root OF the American Aloe, (agavRl, is tho ia
vorite, and almost universal beverage of the
Inhabitants of the mountains of Peru, Mexico,
and Lower California, where the plant grow
in wild luxuriance. Their physicians con-
stantly recommend it as a stimulant, and
diuretic. in all diseases where such a remedy
is indicated. One of the Proprietors, in trav-
cling through Mexico and Lower California,
several years ago, had confided to him by
Spanish Padre, the Recipe for its preparation.
They now offer it to the public with the hope,
that its high reputation as a remedy on the
Pacific Coast, will be infinitely enhanced by
its success upon the Atlantic. Its undoubted
efficacy in Gravel, Govt, Chronic rheumatism,
Incipient Dropsy, Flatulence, Collie Pains; in
DISTINCTIONS In the Bladder, Kidneys, and
Urinary Organs; in Dyspepsia, and General
Debility, and in Exhausted Vital Energy-is
unrivaled. 1t is considered by the Mexicans
to be an absolute specific for scurvy.

DEMORESTS MONTHLY,

a magazine of practical utility in the house, a
mirror of the fashions, and literary coHser-
vator of surprising interest and artistic excel
ence, acknowledged to be the Modern parlor
magazine of America
The engraving, 2Sx32 inches, is from the or
iginal painting entitled, The Picnic on the
Fourth of July
The painting took a whole year, and is con-
sidered the finest of the entire list of numerous
populor productions by Lille NJ. Spencer. The
engraving was the labor of four years, by
three eminent artists-John Rodgers, Samuel
Halpin, and Samuel Hollyer; The last named
having been induced to come from Europe to
finish it. The engravers have ably seconded
the successful labOrs of the painter. None but
artists can fully appreciate the skill and labor
lavished on this engraving The general eff
tect is very fine and impressive, and the deli
rate finish to the heads will bear the most mi
mute inspection. The union of line and stipple
is executed with unusual ability, and their
skilful combination has greatly contributed to
the success of the engravers in this unsurpass-
ed proof of their genius.
Thelwork on the engraving alone cost over
seven thousand dollars, besides the cost of the
copyright, and is acknowledged by competent
Judges the most elaborately finished large work
of art evor engraved in America.
Fine copies of this magnificent picture, on
heavy plate paper, worth $40 each, are to be
given as premium to each subscriber to
