SUniOL'S THOUGHTS OS THIS AT PHO ACHING COMET. (Concluded from last week.) He is ns yet too far off to be distinctly seen in all his horrors ; but he looks in the distance like the great, glaring blood shot eye of a murderer. You see at once something maiig rant in his aspect. The stars twinkle with a clear mild light, and you could almost fancy they were gentle spirits

singing the songs that were sung long ago in Paradise, but the comet has a dark red iHcam like the unnatural

earth without injury, but as soon as it crosses that line, the balance will give way, and the gates of the deep will be unlocked. The approach, however, of this last hour of terror will have been foreseen for months. All the common concerns of life will have been allowed to stand still, thrones will be left unworshipped, warring kingdoms will be awed into crouching silence, - wealth and rank, and learning will sink into abject in significance, mana brave man will loose his fortitude, arad fear will drive

him mad, the amttcial links of

social life will be burt assunder like gossamer threads, the selfish hearts

ot the multitude will thirst only for self preservation, and the impas sioncd affections of the unnoticed number of nobler spirits will seek

only to twine themselves together in

the arms of deep and enduring love, till death put an end to all. There

will be no such thing as a newspaper
