 On Sunday night, the moon, in all it's glory and grandeur, sent forth its beautiful beams of light, making all nature more lovely and majestic. un til about 10 o'cloak, it began by de- grees, growing darker and giving less light. About l2, it was con- pletely hidden from view, the eclipse we have been reading of, being veri- fled. How nice it was sitting out in the cool breezcs that slowly were blowing. how ma iestic the stiffness of the night, as we sat looking up at the moon in eclipse. In the fullness of the eclipse, it was faintly visible, and looked as some red ball of fire. It began about ten and lasted until about one o'clock, when it came out, seemingly brighter than ever. Thus ended the total lunar eclipse of the moon, on the night of the 22nd.
