The PIantamOur Comet.

WE have reason to know that many
weak people have been alarmed, and many
still weaker people made positively ill, by
an announcement that has appeared in
almost all the newspapers, to the effect
that Professor Plantamour, of Geneva, has
discovered a comet of immense size,
which is to "collide," as our American
friends would say, with our planet on the
18th of August next We fear that there
is no foundation whatever for the rumor.
In the present state of science nothing
could be more acceptable than the appear
ance of good large comet, and the near
er it comes to us the better, for the spec
troscOpe has a long account to settle with
the whole genus, which, up to,the present
time, has fairly eluded our grasp. But it
is not too much to suppose that the lay
men in these matters might imagine that
the discovery would be too dearly bought
by the ruin of our planet. Doubtless, if
such ruin were possible, or, indeed, prob
able-but let us discuss this point. Kep-
ler, who was wont to say that there are as
many comets in the sky as fishes in the
ocean, has had his opinion endorsed in
later times by Arago, who has estimated
the number of these bodies which traverse
the solar system at II, 500, 900. But what
follows from this =? Surely that comets
are very harmless bodies, or we should
have suffered from them long before this,
even if we do not admit that the earth is
as old as geologists would make it. But
this is not all. 1t is well known that some
among their number which have withal
put on very portentous appearance
are merely the celestial equivalent
of our terrestrial 'windbags brought
down to their proper level they would
have shrunk into very small dimensions
indeed. But there is more comfort still.
The comet of 1870 positively got so near
to Jupiter that it got entangied among his
moons, the diameter of the smallest of
which is only some 1000 miles but the
moons pursued their course as if nothing
had happened, while the comet was so
discounted by the encounter that it re-
turned by another road. e., astronomi-
cally speaking, its orbit was entirely
changed. While, last of all, in our cor
respOndence this week will be found one
fact the more in favor of the idea that, in
1861, We actually did pass through a
comet. We have suggestion for those
weak people who are still alarmed by
these celestial portents, and steadily re-
fuse to acquaint themselves with the most
elementary work on astronomy, which
would convince them how groundless
their fears are. In India, during the last
eclipse, the priests reaped magnificent
harvests from the offerings of the faith
full. In England, possibly, it would be
considered incorrect to make such offer
ings to the priest but let them still be
made-to the Royal Astronomical So
ciety. In this way the English Philistine
would approach nearer the standar of
his less civilized brother; science would
be benefited, and, doubtless the omen
would be avertcd-at all events, they al
ways have been-NdtHFo.

Home Letters.

OFTEN the busiest men are those who
contrive most opportunities for friendly
letter-writing. Their paper may be small,
their handwriting large, their words few,
and under some circumstances these are
legitimate devices, without which they
could not continue to write at all; but
some mems short letters are worth more
than other mems long ones; and those
who remember Bishop Nillier's short
notes will have often felt as if his own
magical smile shone out through them, as
with warmth and brightness of sum-
mer.
Have you sick sister, whose lonely
life has but few bright clouds in it? Now
and then make her feel that she is not
utterly forgotten by the friend and COM
panion of her happy childhood. Is there
an old acquaintance whom you seldom
see, but whom you ought not forget; who
knew and loved you when you were both
children together, and who still prizes
your friendship though it is of little use
to him? Now and then write to him?
'"Thine own friend, and thy fathers
friend fOrsake not" Is there a servant,
retired from your service, who has nursed
your children, been kind and true friend
to you in sad and dark hours, who is
growing old, as you yourself some day
will grow old, with few chances in dull
life, and few pleasures in a poor one:
Occasionally send a message to that deaI
though humble friend, if not always in
your own hand, at any rate, by your wife
or child. 1t will stir thoughts of slum-
bering happiness in kind heart that has
loved you with love as good as a rich
mans love, and served you with service
that no mere wages could repay. Oh
have you aged parents, living far away,
may be, in some remote home, whose
monotonous and ever shortening life i:
never so pleasantly broken as by news ol
you; who's midnight thoughts and noon
day musing are ever full of you; who
grow young and brave in the thought Of
your success, and whose constant prayers
have much more to do with it than yoJ
know of? Never let them feel that you
are too busy to think of them, or too i'm
portant to care for them. Visit then
when you can; you will not have then
much longer; but regularly make time tC
write-iSuRddg Mdgdzine

This is what these unfortunate men are
waiting for, and there is terror in every
breath they draw. Little children, with
saddened faces, fondle and caress them
with increased love, for the dreaded fate
of their fathers has been whispered in
their ears. Fond wives and mothers,
with fearful eyes and faltering hearts,
tenderly care for them, and see that every
want is supplied and their bondage made
as light as love and sympathy can render
it. These loved ones are also waiting,
watching, not knowing what hour they
will be drawn away out of the reach OF
the two men, whose very touch may soon
be almost sudden death.
Up to this time no indication of mad
ness has been manifested, and as the time
has already passed in which the disorder
attacks its victims after the poison ha:
been infused into the blood, the friends
are very hopeful that the maidstone has
proved effective, but the men declare they
will wear their irons several days yet, 81
fearful are they that the poison is still
lurking within them.-hdnSds CITY (Ho.
