THE COXET.
BT HANG CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN
Now the
_comet came with its shining
nucleus and its nebulous tail. 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.

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.

Liver Complaint is one of Ste most prominent
causes of Consumption.
Settenct's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant

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
