Tho Comet.

Once more VIC can look in tue north
nong the planets. Comets seldom ap-
pear. and as they afford much ground
for conjecture, admiration, &C.. we take
pleasure in giving TO our readers
the knowledge VIC may have derived
from the study Of Astronomy in regard
TO these wonderful bodies. The present
Comet, as is now seen, seems TO taffie
astronomers as TO whether it has ever
been heretofore seen, or whether 1t is en-
tirely a newcomer. Ii is supposed,
however, by some, that it is the same
comet that was discovered by DIR. Gould,
oil South America, in the year 1907 -
Guys Astronomy tells US tina, there was
comet seen III 1907; The tail OF which
was over 100000 miles in length, but
docs not say by whom it was discover
ed. The tail OF the present Comet, as is
now seen, is estimated to be $4,000, coo
miles in length, showing difference of
about 100000 in length of the present
Comet and that Of 1907, in case it lie
the same as discovered by DR.. Gould.
OF South America. Tie tail of the
comet OF 1911 was estimated 10 have
been fully 33,00O,00O miles in length
Comets move at an amazing rate the
comet Of 1880 Travelled at the rate Of
$4,000 miles in az hour. Comets are
supposed to be of very compact and
durable substance, capable Of being ex-
posed to extreme degrees OF heat and
cold. The comet seen by Sir Isaac New
ton in 1850, was observed to approach
so near the Sun, that its heat was esti-
mated by him TO I've 1900 times greater
than that OF red hot iron.

The Farmer Feedeth All.
BY CHARLES @. LELAND.

My lord rides through his palace gate,
My lady sweeps along in state,
The sage thinks long on many thing,
And the maid muses. on marrying;
The minstrel harpeth merrily,
The sailor plows the foaming sea,
The huntsman kills the good red deer,
And the soldier was without fear;
But fall 10 each whate'er befnll;
The farmer he must feed them all.
Smith hammereth cheerily the sword,
Prlest preacheth pure and holy word,
Dame Alice worketh broidery well,
Clerk Richard tales Of love can tell,
The tap-wife sells her foaming beer,
Dan Fisher fishes in the mere,
And courtiers rufilc, strut and shine,
While RACES bring the Gascon wine;
But fall TO each whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Man builds his castles fair aud high,
Whatever river runneth by.
Great cities rise in every land,
Great churches show the builders hand,
Great arches, monuments and towers,
Fair palaces and pleasing bowers;
Great work is done, bet here and there,
An6 we'll man worketh everywhere.
But work or rest, whate'er befan,
The farmer he must feed them all.
