“EVENING STAR. THE COMET. BY ©. W. HOLMES. The Comet! Hele rg way, r as he fies; ‘The whighing pianets shrink before Th tre of the skies; iF it — regal orbs burn blue, A ellites turn pale, Vermilion cxbuecteset bend, ‘Ten billion leagues of tail! On, by whistling spheres of light, He haches and he flames : se He turns not to the left nor right, He asks them not their names: One spurn from his demoniac heel— Away, away they iy, Where darkness might be bottled up And sold for Tyrian dye.” And what would happen to the land, sea, And how would jook the If in the bearded devil’s path Our earth should chance to be ? Full hot and high the sea would boil, Full red the forests gleam ; Methought I saw and fieard itall n adyspeptic dream. I saw a tutor take his tube the Comet’s course to spy ; J heard a soream—the gathered rays Had stewed the tutor’s : 1 <a fors—the ‘wldiers al ere armed with goggles green ; Pog cracked the guns’ wiz flew the balls: Went the magazine! I saw a poet dip a scroll Each moment ina tub Tread upon the warping back, “*'Phe dream of Beelzebub ;” He could not see his verses burn, Although his brain was fried, And C¥er and annon he bent To wet [2°m as they dried. Isaw the scald piteh roll down The crackling, “Vesting pines, am mreams o Ce ly say ater-spouts rst throug. je rus mines lasked the fireman why ‘bey made Such noise about the town > ‘They answered not, but all the while ‘The brakes went up and down. 1 ne a roasting pullet sit a baking egg; I saw a cripple scorch his hand Extinguishing his leg ; T saw nine geese upon the wing ‘Towards the frozen pole, And every mother’s gosling fell Crisped to s crackling coal. T saw the ox that browsed the grass Writhe im the biretermg rays, he herbege in hrs shrinking jaws: Was all 4 fiery binze: 1 saw brige shes boiled to mgs, Bot fog the bubbling brine ; And thoughts of = crossed my soul: I had been rash st mme.” Strange sights,strange souiids! O farfuldream! its memory haunts me still, ‘The steaming sea, the crimson glare, ‘That wreathad each wooded hill; ‘Stranger! if through thy reeling brain Such midnight visions sweep, ‘e thine evening meal, be thy sleep! oe I> Arithmetieal figures were introduced into Europe from Arabia by the Saracens in 991, A.

OF~ The term ‘ Star Chamber’? is said to have been derived from the fact that the Court under whose jurisdiction persons were tried for riot rjury, or other notorious misdemeanors held heir sessions in a chamber, the roof of which was ornamented with stars. The court was abolished in the reign of Charles the First.
