THE PATHS OF THE PLANETS.
Natures Brightest Jewels Displayed
on the Heavens of March.


Venus is evening star. The queen of the
stars is, during the month, peerless among
the planetary brotherhood, the most glori-
GUS object that on starlit nights adorns the
armament, far outshining airy other star
among the myriad hosts that glitter and
twinkle in the celestial world archlng
above the observer who beholds the
enhancing picture. Venus reaches her
period Of greatest brilliancy on the 18th.
Saturn is evening star. II not as brill
liant in the east in the early evening as
Venus il in the west he has the advantage
over his rival of being visible long after
she has sunk below the western horizon.
Jupiter is morning star. He is very brill
liant III the morning sky, shining brightly
after all the other stars are hidden in the
approaching daylight.
Jupiter will be occulted by the moon on
the 24th, aud the phenomenon will be
visible, though the daylight will greatly in
terfere with its observation. The immersion
of the planet takes place at 6;55 a. m, and
the EMERSON takes Place at $50 a. IN. The
occultation continues 55iminutea. The sun
rises on the "A h at 5:42 a. m The O;culat-
ton, t ersfore, commences l hour ID min
utes after suurise. The IN ION has then JUS
entered upon her last quarter and is near
the meridian. She NAV be easily found as
assumes in the presence OF tie sun. OBJ
servers should commence their watch before
sunrise, in order TO see the approach Of the
moon and the planet and fix their relative
position. An opera glass will be q valuable
cid, and telescope will give a charming
view of the actors in the celestial scene.
Mercury is morning star. He reaches his
greatest western elongation on the 18th. 1t
is one of the three periods of the year when
he is visible to the naked eye as morning
star. But his southern deciinatiou is I'M
favorable, aud it will be difficult to find
him. Southern observers will have the ad-
vantage, and will see him under the best
conditions.
Mars is evening star. Careful observers
may find the ruddy star, for he is above the
horizon more tnan two hours after sunset.
He is so far away and So small that it is
difficult to keep track of him among the
stars.
Uranus is morning star. Observers
blessed with good visual powers may dis
cover him with the unaided eye, as he is
near opposition.
Neptune is evening star. He is on his
way to conjunction with the sun. He would
not, according to terrestrial views, be an
attractive planet for a residence, with a
year, or revolution round the sun, 165 times
as long as a year on this planet, and the
sun in his sky reduced to star the size of
Venus, when at her greatest brilliancy.
