The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1890-01-09

feacD;
Nor tongue shape its hyperian glow into speech.
Words bywbich the symmetrical scene could be
told
Would hsave to sae shaped in supernatural
world,
This sublime scene. philosophers could not
rehearse,
Nor could skilled poets orsards, transeribe into
verse
If on the bewilderiBg scene. asst years they'd
dwell,
. OF its grand ostentOtiousness they could not
tell;
Nor could sketchers, on canvas, lis beauty
declare
If they had the worlds finest brush of camel's
hair
, Clear and cloudless was the great azure empty
Iean
And toward the Sun all nature had begun to
lean;
The whole surroun ling atmosphere seemed to
be proud,
As it was untarnished by the shred of cloud.
Winters cold chilling blast was passing away,
And the lovely feathered songster had come to
ttay;
There was no rising fog or mist in Ether's plain,
But all was bright and clear in the futhomless
main.
As did high on that piled-up eminenee stand,
KinEday was going down in majesty grand;
He was fast descending the steep in the west
Heaving floods Of darling beams from his breast;
His leave from this hemisphere he was taking,
And behind the hills long shadows he was
making
In majesty down through the ether sea, he
rolled,
Like well FURNISHED chariot of flaming gold!
After viewing King-day turned toward the
cast
And there mine eyes had another ravishing
feast
When turned, u the eastern hemisphere, mine
eyes,
was overwhelmed with wonder aud surprise!
From there saw the royal princess, queen of
night
ing bright;
. She rolled up in majesty without checking her
pace,
And she looked king day, without blush, in
the face.
She in her grand. superb, queenly majesty rose,
Just as kingday begun his days work to close.
Golden, silver kisses they to each other tossed
It'll down behind the western horizon he was
lost.
III was a scene OF which ne'er thought OF
before,
Nor knew that nature had such one in store
am made to wonder, as the day was well nigh
spent,
Why a, that hour to that emneDce went,
Was called there bya voice did not hear,
To behold the scene before it would disappear!
Was not by an unseen hand erected there,
That might the grandeur Of the scene declarel
What on earth could have prompted me to &C
there,
WhenI could have gone to other places more
fair?
Or, was it not righton the the direction that let
To the lovely grave of the dead
. Surely that must have been in the direction
Where was entombed the object of my affection
{ Well nigh overwhelmed and bewildered wa
my mind

Shining IN rulgent splendor was King day,
: so grand fAst no genius could his splendn

While King day was mantled witw flames Q

west,
When exhausted was King days scintiIlatin
blaze,
Then the bright astrals at Queen night began I
gaze.
Then the Ruler OF day made his disappearance
The bedazzlins stars made their appearance.
Its description is beyond conceptions reach
Nor will II ever be vocallzed into speech
Poets may sing of towering mountains piled u
high,
And grand sun-painted rainbows in the SIX,
And sing Of ponderous hills and valleys low,
And Of rivers, which broad.along their margi
flow;
And of palatial gardens hanging in the air
with superbest flowers in the world for rare;
and then sing Of the dazzling splendor of Mar
And the beauty of saturns sky-girt rings al
bars;
And sing of the gorgeous, rolling waves of Il
sea
And all dame natures magnificent things tn
be
Many things in this mundane world morta
can find
That satisfy the generality of mankind;
But when crave something mY longing soul
