THOUGHTS
BY MILLER D. EVANS.
SpriDg, arrayed in regal beauty,
Cheers our breasts with winning smiles
Chases gloom with rays of pleasure,
Frees us from grim sorrow’s wiles.
Where the Conestoga murmurs,
Sighs and sings thro’ Weaver’s grove—
There, at twilight, oft’ I wander,
Dreaming, thinking, as I rove.
Dreaming of the happy May-day,
Years ago spent by the stream ;
Of one form the gayest, fairest,
Chosen for the day our Queen.
Vale and glen e’en now are echoing
Youthful voices rich with glee ;
Music o’er the waters stealing,
Floating ’cross the greening lea.
Fancy paints the glowing Tableaux,
Memory brings the actors near ;
Love points out tho chosen idol,
Hope removes the anxious fear.
Dreaming still, I breath the story,
How my heart was won from me —
Won by beauty, pure and holy—
Won by pretty Lizzie Lee.
But, alas 1 I’m only dreaming,
Spring-time brings no joy to me ;
May-day banners, gaily streaming,
[ Tell me of lost Lizzie Lee..
Sleeping in tho lonely church yard,
’Neath the sod where flowers wave ,
Zephyrs, soft are gently singing
Requiems over Lizzie’s grave.
Morgantown, May 15.
[From “ The States.]’
The Comet of June 16, 1857.
Geology teaches us that been
three great eras when the surface of the
earth has undergone changes such as might
have resulted from a universal deluge,
effected, perhaps, by the collision of oomets
with tho earth, giving a new direction to
its rotary motion, or making it revolve
around a' new axis.
Geology teaches, as plainly as anything
in Holy Writ, that the seas have thrice for
saken their beds, and, by the universal
rushing of the, waters to a new equator,
have overwhelmed continents, the abode of
men and aDimals.
Now, however, men may differ in regard
to the Mosaic history of the flood, as to
whether it ever took place in the manner
in which it is literally set forth in the Bi
ble, and however they may ridicule the
probable or possible contact of a comet
with the earth on the 16th day of June
next,, one thing is certain that neither
their sneers, ridicule, nor unbelief will
affect the laws of geometry and motion nor
the mechanism of the universe. What has
been, may be again ; like causes produce
like effects. If there have been three
deluges, which at different eras have over
whelmed and destroyed ever vestige of
the races of men and animals then on the
surface of the earth, what astronomer or
philosopher is prepared to Bhow that there
will not be a fourth, a fifth, a sixth ?
Of 99 comets whose elements have been
calculated by astronomers,. 30 passed be
tween the sun and Mercury, 23 between
the orbits of Mercury an'd Venus, 21- be
tween the orbits of Ceres and J upiter.
It is not a well known fact that Biela’s
comet, whose diameter is nearly twice that
of the earth passes so very near, that at
the moment the centre of the comet is at
the point to the earth’s path, the
' matter of the comet extends beyond that
path, and a portion of it within it ? This
is the comet which it was predicted would
come in collision with and destroy the
earth on the 26th of November, 1832 ; but
happily the comet anticipated the earth by
passing the point were the fight was to
coriie off on the 26th of October, so that
either the astronomers were 32 days be
hind, or the comet 32 days before time.
It was the opinion of Dr. Whiston, the
friend and successor of Newtou, that the
comet known as Halley’s deluged the
world in the time of Noah. This is the
same comet which, in 1456 spread univer
sal terror throughout Europe, inspiring
the belief that it would destroy the earth,
and that the day of judgement was at hand;
to avert which awful doom, Pope Calixtus
added to the Ava Maria the prayer, “Lord
save us from the devil> the Turk and the
comet.”
Now, there are men in the world so
hardened in sin, that they will say in re
gard to the predicted smash-up in 1832,
that a miss is as good as a mile ; and in
regard to the one which so horribly fright
ened old Calixtus, that “ it is. of no sort of
consequence, as it will not arrive at its
perihelion again untill 1911,” but let these
sinners remember that there are other
comets which are continually crossing the
earth’s path; and whether we shall escape
the one of the 16th of June next, as luck
ily as we did that ’of 1832, time may or
may not unfold to us. The collision of the
earth with comets at certain epochs is not
only possible but unavoidable; and the
writer of this article believes that all the
deluges which the different strata of the
earth prove to have taken place, (in ah an
tiquity to be measured, perpaps,-only by
millions of years,) have taken place through
cometary influences.
There is no doubt in the minds of most
astronomers that the asteroids between the
orbits of Mars and! Jupiter are the frag
ments of a great pldnet, which, from some
cause, has been burst asunder. If that
cause was exterior, it must have been com
etary, for there are no other bodies in our
solar system whose orbits intersect those
of the planets.
The fact is well known to astronomers,
that the remarkable comet of 1770, which
was found to revolve in moderate ellipse
in a period of about five years, was thrown
out of its orbit by the .attractions of Jupi
ter and has not been heard of since. What
the effect of the collision was to that planet
it is impossible to state ; for although no
perceptible change took place in its mo
tions, yet a change might have taken place
in its auxiliary motion sufficient to have
thrown its oceans from their beds, and to
overwhelm every inhabitant on its surface.
There are a great many phenomena as
oribed to the influence of cometß j it is
even the opinion of some that Sodom and
Gomorrah were destroyed by one of these
erratic visitors, molten with perhelion heat;
but who knows ? Alpha.
PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
SESSION OF 1857.
List of the Principal Acts Passed.
The full list of Acts passed by the Legisla
ture whose session has just closed, numbers
nearly nine hundred. But a very large por
tion of these are of little importance, and refer
to unimportant localities and special cases in
the interior counties. Omitting these we still
have a list so voluminous that it would fill
many columns. We have, therefore, at con
siderable pains gone over the list, selected the
most important, condensed their titles and
classified them so that the work accomplished
by the Legislature can be seen by the readers
of the Bulletin in a more clear and intelligible
shape than if we were to publish the complete
list in the way that it is prepared for publica
tion at Harrisbnrg.

Our assoriment of Caps aud Straw IlaLs is the largest,

We are also manufacturing the PATENT FLEXIBLE
SILK II AT, w lii' h tor beaut\ of finish, cannot be surpassed
The improvement consists of a combination of principle to
render the Silk Hat Baud, after a slight wear, as soft and
pleasant to the head as a soft Hat. The “Flexible Band"
combines the softness of the Felt Hat, with the beauty and
dressy appearance of the Silk Hat. and frem its yielding
nature, readily cpnforms to the shape of the head, thus
avoiding in a very great measure, the trouble aud incon
venience of conlorming and shaping, as the principle of the
conformator is embodied in the improvement.
Ail Hats sold at this establishment are made under our
own supervision, and we warrant them to be what they
are sold for. We respectfully invite the public to give us
a call, as we keep the largest aDd most complete assortment

Choice farm lands for sale...
The Illinois Central R. R. Company Is now prepared
to sell about 1,500.000 Acres of CHOICE FARMING
LANDS in Tracts of 40 Acres and upwards, ou Long
Credits, ond :it Low Rates of Interest.
These lands wore granted by tho Government to aid In
Hie construction of this Rond, and are among the richest
and most fertile iu the world. They extend from North
Hast and North West, thruugh the middle of rtio,State, to
tho extreme South, and include every variety of climate
and productions found between those parallels of latitude.
The Northern portion in chiefly prairie, interspersed with
fine groves, and iu lb- middle find Southern sections tim
ber p'edorninate.s, alternating with beautiful prairies and
openings.
The climate is more healthy, mild and equable, than any
other part of the country—the air is pure and bracing,
while living streamsaud springs of excellent water abound.
Bituminous Coal is extensively mined, and supplies a
cheap and desirable fuel, being furnished at many points
at $2 to $4 per ton —and wood can be had at the same rat*
per cord.
Building Stone of excellent quality also abounds, which
procured for little more than tho expense of trans
portation.
The great fertility of these lands, which an* a black
rich mould from two to five feet deep, and gently rolling,
—their contiguity to this Road, by which every facility is
furnished for travel and transportation, to the principal
markets North, South, East, W est, and the economy.wlth
which they can be cultivated, render them the most vain*
able investment that can be found ; and present the most
favorable opportunity, for persons of industrious habits
and small means, to acquire a comfortable Independence lo
a few years.
Chicago is now the greatest grain market in the world—
and tbe facility and economy with which the products of
these hinds can be transported to that market, make them
much more profitable, at the prices asked, than those more
remote at government rates, —as the additional cost of
transportation is a perpetual tax on tbe latter, which must
ho borne by the producer, in the reduced price ho receives
for his graio, Ac.
The title is perfect—and when the Anal payments ora
insdc, Deeds are executed by the Trustees Appointed by
the State, and in whom the title is vested, to the purchas
ers, which convey to them absoluto titles in Fee Simple,
free and clear of every incumtrance, lien or mortgage.
THE PRICES ARM FROM SO to S3O.—INTEREST
2 0 percent, will be deducted from the credit price for Cash.
Those who purchase on long credit, give notes payable
in 2,3, 4, 5 and G ye&Ts after date, and are required to
improve one-tenth annually for-five years, so as to hav*
onc-half tho land under cultivation, at the end of that
time.
Competent Surveyors will accompany those who wish to
examiue these Lands, free of charge, and aid them In
making selections.
Tho Lands remaining unsold are as rich and valuable as
those which have been disposed of.
