The Southern Skies.

Humboldt, in describing, South
ern skies and Southern sunsets,
says :-"From the time we entered
the Torrid ZCne we were never
wearied with admiring every night
the beauty OF the Southern sky,
which, as we advanced towards
the South, opened new constella-
tions to our view. We feel indie
scribable sensations when, on ap.
preaching the Equator, and parti-
cularly passing from one hemi-
sphere to the other, we see those
stars which we have contemplated
from our infancy progressively
sink, and finally disappear. No
thing awakens in the traveller a
livelier remembrance of the i'm
mense distance by which he is
separated from his country than
the aspect Of an unknown firma.
ment.
The grouping OF the stars Of the
first magnitude, some scattered
nebule rivalling in splendor the
Milky Way, and tracts of space
remarkable for their extreme
blackness, give a particular
physiognomy to the Southern sky.
This sight fills with admiration
even those who, uninstructed in
the branches Of accurate science,
feel the same emotions of delight
in the contemplation OF the
heavenly vault as in the view of
a beautiful landscape or majestic
river. A traveller has no need of
being botanist to recognize the
Torrid Zone in the mere aspect of
its vegetation; and, without hav-
ing acquired any notion of astro-
nomy, he feels he is not in Europe
when he sees the immense constel-
lation of the Ship, or the phospho-
resent clouds Of Magellan, arise
on the horizon. The heaven and
the earth, in the equinoctial re-
gions, assume an exotic character.
