At the , , great they gazed at It, and from the Poor shanty; the crowd in the street stared at it, and the solitary man that went his way over the pathless heath. Every one ..had his own thoughts. "Come and loolc at the vault of heaven, come out and look at the . wonderful sight," they cried, and all hastened to look; But inside the room there sat yet a little boy and his mother. The tallow candle was burning, and the mother thought that there was a moth in the light; the tallow f .rmed in ragged edges around the candle, and ran down the sides; this, she believed, betokened -that her son should die very soon,—the shining little moth was turning towards him. • This was an old superstition in which she believed. The little boy was destined to live many years here on earth, and in deed:lived to see the comet again, when it returned sixty years after. Thelxoy did not see the candle•nioth in thelight, and thought not of the comet, which then for the first. time in his life, looked brightly down from the skies. He 'sat quietly with an earthen dish be fore•him; the dish being filled with soap water, in which he dipped the head of a clay pipe, and then put - the stem in his mouth, and made soap-bubbles, big and swill, They quivered and fluttered in their beautiful colors; they changed from yellow to red, and from red to purple and blue; then they colored green, like the leaves when the sun is shining through them. "May God give thee many years to live here on earth, as many as the bubbles thou art blowing." "So many, so many!" cried the little fellow. "1 can never blow all the soap water into bubbles. There flies one year, there flies another!" exclaimed he, when a new bubble broke loose from the pipe and flew off. Some of them flew into his eyes; they burned and smarted, and caused tears to flow. In every bubble he saw a picture of the future, glimmering and glittering. "This is the time to see the comet!" ex _ claimed the neighbors; "come out-of doors, and don't sit in the room." And the mother took the boy by the hand; he had to lay the clay pipe aside, . and leave his play with the soap-bubbles; the comet was there. And the boy saw-the brilliant fire-ball and the shining tail: Some said it was three yards long, others insisted it was several millions of yards long—only a slight difference. Moat of the people who had said that, were dead and gone when the comet came again; •bat the little fellow, towards whom the candle•moth had been turned,of whom the mother had thought, "He will die soon," he still lived, bad become old and white.haired. "White hairs are the flowers of old see," says the proverb, and he had a good many of such flowers. He was now an old school-master. The, school children said that be was very wise,_and knew so very much; he knew history, and geography, and all that was known about heaven-and its stars. '"Everything comes again," said he -2 ", "only pay attention .to persons and events,, and you - will leant that they will always return;' there may be a hun dred years, or many hundred years, but then we shall have the same persons again, only in another coat, and in another country." And the school-master told them about William Tell, who was com pelled to shoot an apple from his son's head; but before lie shot the arrow, he hid another one in his bosom, to shoot into the breast of wicked Gesler. This took place in Switzerland. But many years before that happened, the same event oc curred in Denmark with Walraloke; he was also obliged to shoot an apple from his son's head, and he also hid an arrow in his bosom, to avenge the cruelty. And several thousand years before that,- the same story was written down in Egypt. This is a story, and a true one; it came again, and will come again, like the • comet that returns, "flies away through ispace, stays away, but returns." And he spoke of the comet that was expected, and the same comet that he had seen when a boy. • The school-master knew what took place in the skies, but he did not, there fore, forget history and geography. His gard( n was laid out in the shape of a map of Denmark. Here were herbs and flowers which belong to different parts of the land. "Fetch me herbs," said he, and they went to •the , bed that represented Laal and ; "fetchime buckwheat," and they went to Largeland. The beautiful blue gentian was fohnd at Skagen. The shining Christ thorn at Wilkeborg. Towns and cities were marked with images. Here stood Bt. Sind, with the dragon, which meant • Odense; Absalon, with the Bishop's staff, meant Soro. The old boat with the oars was a sign' that''there stood Aarhuus. From the schoolmaster's garden you could learn the geography of Denmark; but one had to be instructed by him first, and . that WaB a great pleasure. Now the !comet was expected again,, and of that he spoke; and he related what people had'said In th olden times, when appeared last; they had said that a cornet year was a good wine year, and that one could mix water with that wine without its being detected. Therefore the merchants thought so much of a comet year. • The sky was overcast tor. two weeks; they could not see the comet, and yet it was there. The old' acliool-master sit in his little chamber adjoining the school'. room. The old Bornholm - clock of his grandfather's time stood in the corner; the heavy lead weights did neither as cend nor deMend, the pendulum did not move. The little cuckoo, that used to come forward in:pasttitiiiel:to cuckoo the flaming houri, had for many years ceased 10.4 his duty. , Bierything was , dumb -and silent; the clock wee out - of order. But the old clavichord near by, made in his fathey's - Wine, had yet a spark of life lett. The strings could yet ring; ittne„ they wettra little hoarse, , but they could ring the melodies of a whole life- AWN. Witlijhese, th 9 old man, remem r sttiedio muel(bcitirjotint and sorroWful, that had happened to the long" series of • years that had passed by since • he, , a little boy, .saw the comet; and .now, when that comet had come again he re membered what his mother had ' said about the moth in the light; he remem _,.'bered the beautiful soap bubbles that he bleti; each of them representing a year - of his life, as he had said, shining and in them all -Ms; pleasures .and - sorrows, everything beautiful and sorrowful.,..-11e saw the child and its plays, the Tonal and his fanciei, the whole world, in' wavy brightness ' opening before hie gaz ing eyes; and in that sunlightA he- Saw his future grow. These were the bubbles of coming time; now, an old man, he heard from the clavichord's strings the melodies of passing time, mind's bubbles, with memory's variegated colors. And he heard his nurse's knitting song— "For sure no etri.zone Hid ever stockings knit." And then the strings sang the song the old papa of the house was wont to sing to him, when a child: "In truth I',ll many dangers Will grow up titre below, For him, that yet Is young. And (loth not fody know." Now the melodies of the first ball were ringing the minuet and molinasky; then the melancholy notes of the flute passed by; bubble after bubble they hurried on, very much like those that he blew with soap-water, when a little boy. His eyes were turned toward the win dow; a cloud in the sky was gliding 1)y, and, as it passed, revealed the comet to his gaze, the sparkling nucleus, the shin ing tail. It seemed as if it had been only - the evening of yesterday that he had seen that comet, and yet a whole eventful life time lay between that evening and this. Then he was a child, and looked through the bubbles into the future; now the bub bles pointed back in the past.' Once more lie had a child's feeling and a child's trust; his eyes sparkled, and his hands sank down upon the keys. There came a sound as of the breaking of a string. "Come out and see!" shouted the neighbors; "the comet is here, and the_ sky is so clear; come out and look!" The old schoolmaster answered not; he had gone where he should see more clearly; his soul was upon a journey far greater than.the comet's, and into a wider space than the comet has to fly, through. And the iomet was again seen from the rich castle, and from the poor shanty; the crowd in the street gazed at it, and 1,.._ the solitar man who walked through the pathless eath. But the schoolmaster's soul was s nby God, and the dear ones that had p ceded, and whom he so much longed for. Riverside Magazine. 1 7,1, E . eat ass n, .ad p cedi. ,ed for. Bin. The lege King in Hungary. In Hung , where long border wars ari with Turk y gave constant exercise to the courage, s 11 and address of the young men, perso al valor and physical strength are still, e pecially in the southeastern parts, the titles to public esteem. Games that recall, n spirit, the Olympic gaines of Greece, still held to test the prowess of the yo g men, and decide on the champion. Whit-Monday is the national th k day, and en the whole village, led by a band of gi sy musicians, proceed to the ground, e first test is a horse-race, in which the bject is to _wrest from the hands of a ounted standard bearer the Hag that he holds. The distance to be run is about a mile and a half, and the suc cessful rider must either distance all the rest, so as to capture it before they can come up, or, as more frequenty happens use all his skill and address to thwart others who are close upon him, and so bear off the prize, watchful even in his struggle that others do not suddenly dash up and outwit him. The successful champion is , then put to another test re quiring still greater strength and valor. This is to catch a wild bull, selected for the purpose, - without any aid or help, and bring it, bound and obedient, to the vit. lage. This is a dangerous feat, often ending in the defeat of the aspirant, If he succeeds he enters the village in triumph, attended by his less fortunate competitors, and is declared king of the village for the ensuing year. 1 His prerog atiVe is u t empty. He can run up a bill at the inn, during his reign, and he be gins by a all, to which all ' are invited, and dance and song and merriment run riot as the wine flows freely. 1 Thus is the king ent ned by his new subjects. , - - ! ding Oat a Robber. - y morning Mr. George Mills- I.

Th girl demanded of him some information as to his unexpected and un seemly intrusion, whereupon he roughly and ungallantly suggested that 'it was "none of her d—d business." Not , be ing able to agree with his view of the matter, the girl seized a dipper, and has tily filling it with boiling water standing on the stove, dashed the liquid in his face. With commendable discretion, the man beat a hasty retreat, exclaiming that he was scalded—which it is satisfactory to know, was probably the case—and, pausing for an instant to wipe his face, he made off at a rapid rate of speed-- Newburg (17.

Liver Complaint is one of Ste most prominent causes of Consumption. Settenct's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and alterative and the alkali In the Seaweed, which this preparation is made ot, assists the stomach to throw out the gastric juice to dissolve the food with the Pulmontc Syrup, and it is made into good blood without fermentation or souring In the stomach.
