RAINY DAY VS..

RAIN DA rs.
The spring day rose from her sleeping
10 the deep, dim caverns of mist,
With the waiting world to be keeping
Her brief and beautiful tryst;
But her sweet eyes opened weeping,
As the sunshine her pale lids kissed,
And thus she rose from her sleeping
In the caverns Of eastern mist
The world hath dreamed of the meeting,
From the first of the fartherest years,
But her hand was cold to his greeting,
And her cheeks were bitter with tears,
Her voice was the wind repeating
The pain of the heart that hears;
But the world was glad of the meeting
To the last of the lingering years.
For forth from her tears came flowers,
And out of her grief delight,
And the buds swelled under the showers;
The blossoms, with sandals white,
Climbed up to their forest bowers,
From the broken seeds and night,
But who could foreteli the fowers,
Or see in the grief delight.

COMETS.

1t is a noteworthy fact that the present
season has been a prolific season fol
comets and as result of such profitable
period we have more comets than we
know how to use. However if the world
is coming to an end, the present year the
comets will come very handy serving as
illuminators for the grand finale.
DISCOVERIES are not content with view
ing old comets, but must have a little
comet now visible is disputed as two
simultaneous dispatches have beeen receiv-
ed by Professor Swift, of the Warner
Observatory at Rochester, n. Y, by which
it appears that another great comet has
been discovered. Prof. SharpIess of
Haverford College, Pennsylvania, states
that L. T. Edwards saw it with the naked
eye on the morning of June 23d, and Mr.
Edgar L. Larkin, of New Windsor, ILL.,,
also reports seeing it and that it is vast.
1t seems probable that the tail is not less
than 10 ; in lingth while the head is as
bright as Jupiter. The new comet is
located in the constellation of Auriga
about degrees from Capella, and it is not
improbable that it may be the much expect
ed comet Of 1912 which should appear not
far from that locality. As two dispatches
were received in Rochester simultaneously,
there is some question as to whether the
honor of discovery, and the Warner prize
of $500, belong to Mr.. Edwards or Mr..
