MILTON.

The comet scare scare is over; and
those who we're afraid it would strike the
earth and knock it in pieces, breath easy;
others are disappointed in not being able
to witness the grand PYrotecnic display
promised for last Sunday night The
evening was cloudy aud the inhabitants
of this latitude we're debarred from a
sight many OF them would have
been glad to have seen; however what is
their loss is the joy of the scared Ones
who are glad it is all ovei. 1t is singular
how so many Jealous people lose their
faith in Cod whenever there is an unusual
display of the heavenly bodies For our
part we have too much confidence III the
Engineer who runs the machinery OF
the universe to even think of collision.
For thousands of years earth, sun, moon,
comets and planets with their attending
satellites have performed their revolt
tiOns without derangemen, of their per
ippey, or deviation from their orbits, and
it is folly in us to suppose that the En-
gineer is less wise than when he spake
these bodies into existance, at the time
when "the morning stars saug together." "
They are under laws of His own crea-
ton aud obey them with perfect exact
ness. and without His attention, yet, we
do not doubt,-to use the language Of
Alexander Mitchell, L L. D THAT he
exercises a neutral supervision "ver
them" and should they get disorderly
and eDdeavor to fly off at tangent He
would speedily bring them back to theiE
normal condition. To these who have
been unnecessarily uneasy for the pas
week, and they are many, we would re
commend to attend to the thugs of this
earth and let the heavenly bodies alone
leave them ia the hands Of OmniPo
tence, "for all these things must come tC
pass but the end is not yet" Your use
| less racking of the brain over natures
phonomena when viewed in the light o
a comet striking the earth and knocking
liz in pieces, or a shower of stars deluginl
this sphere, will in the end send you f
an insane asylum. 81 you attend t
matters terreue, let nature have its way
and believe with Alexander Pope:
