Occultation of Enthusiastically night
last was the time named by the astronomers for
Venus and the moon, sisters in love, chastity
and beauty, 10 melt one into other by their
glowing warmth Of love, and the correctness
of the prediction has been verified by the ap
parent union of the two bodies on The night
already named. When day merged into night
Venus peeped from the clear sky with an
aspest of golden eTulgence, and the moon arose
casting its syery glare on the earth and NOV
ing in its course to the West, with seeming
impatient haste 10 make the glad union
Many star-gazers were viewing the astro
nomical phenomenon. The moon after pass
ing the meridian of the sky some degrees to the
west had Venus to gently recline on her lower
horn. The brilliant evening star clung to the
crescent moon for a while, and then after a kiss
TO hide, after which both heavenly bodies pro-
ceeded on their endless separate journeyings
The telescope showed that though SO near they
were yet so far from each other as not to touch
by distance eqnal to half the diameter of the
star. The view with naked eye was there
ioit uOFe uttThcliNe luhu tuTOuRn tut teitscOpe
as by the eye the two bodies appeared 10
touch
Venus is now two and one-half days beyond
her greatest elougaiion, and in its most bril-
liant phase. Astronomers have repeatedly at
tempted to ascertain the natural brilliancy of
Venus, but its brightness SO dazzes the eye
AS TO render The correctness of their observa-
lions Of doubtful value. 1t is believed that il
revolves on its axis, and that its equator is
inclined to the p,sine of its orbit at an angle
Is degrees, but many astronomers doubt these
conclusions.
The moon is called the chaste orb and
Venus the star Of love, and the beauty of the
allegory thus presented by the sky needs no
comment. short time ago the planet of
woe, Saturn, was ia occultation by the planet
OF war, Mars and have there not been wars
aud woes ever since, from the plains of Bull
gala TO floor Of the United. States Senate ?
And who can say that the eclipse of Venus by
the chaste Diana does not portend an era OF
propriety of conduct on this orb, which will
anticipate the millennium?
