First sentence: ONCE in about every fifteen years a startling visitant makes his appearance upon our midnight skies,-a great red star that rises at sunset through the haze about the eastern horizon, and then, mounting higher with the deepening night, blazes forth against the dark background of space with a splendor that outshines Sirius and rivals the giant Jupiter himself.
