THE STRANGER ALOF
Under the bead of "The Stranger
Aloft," the Chicago 'Journal' blis the
following &riot's and glowing uticle,
radiatit with a, faith,as sublime as its hp:
agery is.perfect :
There is a Splendid foreigner owing
this way even into our family- eaele—
our nice cozy family of Planets--f4nd is
waling himself a hmtie, about our hearth
stone, the Sun. The juvenile portion of
the household, the little fellows oil .:\lste
roidts, huddled together to keep Warnt—
we hope he will see them in tine, and
not trend on the childien. Jupitlr, may
be, will gird his belt a little, tighter, and
Herschel, we see, wears as nruch
,jewelry
as ever, while the only. fighting member
of the family, ..Mars, , -with a flush) in his
face, keeps going , übOut as if neboJy was
coming.
This foreigner, hov-ever; is. t alto
gether a styanger; he has visited' us be
fore, but along time ; go, and his lojourn
was as brick as a ballad. • Very ghind he
is with his 'splendid trains, a nuiiber of
miles, longer than the army Xerxes led,
and in a great hurry he seemsto e, like!
one on business bound, but if he could:
or would tarry a moment , before .he goes
a visiting, just long enough to crib - his !
hair, we think it mighti he safely passed I
to the credit of his personal appa'rmance.
But that being none of , our business it!
will , nut. do to be strenuous; mid! indeed,
who knows what sights he may hive seen,
to Cause each particular hair to sand like!
quills upon the fretful porcupine Sigbts
in that upper deep stranger than Clar
ence saw in his dream:
Whoever he is or whatever he ; his seen,
he is just a guest, and : we are all hospita
ble people, we Plane 6:, and tVish him,
like good Christians, right welcome, fur
is it not written, "Forget not to entertain
IM711:1!1!
strangers; for thereby :some have enter
tallied -Angels unawares?"
IWe have called him a foreigner and a
stranger; perhaps we are a little too fast,
for it may be he is only a traelled gen
tleman, and one of 'sour folks ;'' in fact,
a first cousin, who has Iheen abroad, and
returned at last, with the hews; to the old
El=
homestead.
A. ph'
Api family, we,;are : rural people,
indeed, as anybody - can tell, 'who on a
clear night looks off at the lights of the
great Astral City, so far and so "many,
that they seem woven into a Silvery Scarf
of delicate lace; as if pod had\ flung it
down from His great Central thrcine, and
it fluttered,there in sight, forever for a
token.
Now, for anything We knot-, ourlillus
trious cousin, the CoMet, is on his way
from the Capital—a
. king's courier, per.;
haps—and has threaded the crowded
streets, and has passed the suburbs and
has crossed the -great azure fields. of the
country of God, and 114 - gone out of his
way, for 'memory's sake, and hds come to
our little settlement. j .
,
But it is strange what, cpWer stories
some people tell of him; as if ihe was a
- lawless fellow, and wad out oul a '' lark"
I. •
instead of ott.duty... - Ire think Itunkind,
this gossip, and we rit' i otest. He is , a
dashing fellow, we .know. 7 but 'then they
are no Sabbath-day jotiilleys he takes.—

Ileent :distances, and even l i the thought is
litikathless that only goes' to the neigh
flbors, and flies to the starry cotttwe whose
lsmall lights twinkle in the outskirts of
'our hantletS. Who knoWS but' he has
i seen the lost Pleiaa in his -wanderings;
has met Orion ia armor in his way; has
counted the jewels in the sword hilt of
Perseus ? Perhaps he has fluttered the
hair'of Berenice, or paused at the North
ern. Crown, or heard the Harp of Heav
en, as he passed, or bearded the Lion in
his starry den. .Aldebrand may -have
glared at the Stranger; the river PO, that
flows through the fields of the Test, per
haps he forded . dry-.4h0d. ,- A pilgrim to
the Southern. Cross, he may hake played
St. George to the Dragon,' distanced Pe
gasus and, paid court to. Andromeda.—
Did Arcturus, delay him, or the Bear in
titnidate, or Sirius turn. him aside ? Did I
he dash alma(' among the' Nebulm, those
morning clouds of creation, those visible'
breaths of Deity ? Did he solve the mys
tery of Cassiopeia and linger around the .
ruins of the brilliant world that went outs
like -a taper three hundred years ago?
The lab;atory of God, is somewhere;
did he pasS it, when the doors were ajar?
There is a sinless.world among the stars;
did they sea the Comet in their offing?
;OLD.
friend,
bold—
ME
And our guest himself; is he 11 solid
globe, making a mighty
,wake of light,
and glowing like a furnace, or is it a mag
nificent Will o' the Wisp floating about
the Universe? What if it should be an
abnudoned world, drifted from its moor
ings, dismantled and lost,..and wandering
like a slip iu a winter sea? Or a wild
outlaw madly plunging from system to
system, and making terrific descents up
on peaceful planets, scattering confusion :
and death ?
If this hist should be, and the Aste
r are indeed the sparkling mini of
!some pleasant world destroyed by such a
I I visitant, and the route .of 'the Comet
!across the ! path of earth' has been truly
!divined, and our small craft should be
! just there as it dashes into our unfenced
highway—what then ? If a huge globe
lof granite and red sand-stone, why, there
might be more Asteroids in our solar cir
cle,
and fragments; like the pieces of a
; mirror shivered by a 'blow, might each
reflect the sun, and :move in orbits of its
I own. If such a thing could be, and hu
man life remain, how wilder than a dream
and sadder than a death. The child
playing in the garden among the flowers,
the mother stretching forth her hands in
!vain—the garden and the homestead in
two worlds. The wife just parted fronf
i her husband, might be' divorced by a
I broad abyss of empty, unnavigable
I The daughter of some house and heart,
who went with blessings from the slid
i!tering roof, would - ne'er- return. The
sl : hunted debtor on one side of the cleft,
limight see his creditors afar, as on !their
island world, they drifted out to sea.—.
!!-Maybe, on one small planet of their own
would be two that love, for Whom alone
the rain should fall, a narrow ribbon of
green Spring be ivoven, and the cloudy
bow yet keep Godls promiSe good. Some
!where, alas ! upon one atom of the world
alone, Juan Fernandez in the sailless sea,
a soul might dwell whose story no De Foe
should ever write.
' Aud such a thing might be ; that this;
bold comet should entice away a simple!
satellite,, to wander in its train, should!
hasten it beyond 'the lead and line of tel-!
eseopie ray; beyond the cloudy Magellan!
of Heaven; away where light has just be-I
gnnto be ;- beyond the stars; beyond the,
reach of summer, and of sun,
There are no outlaws ,'mid the world
of God; true as His Word, the splendid
engine moves harmonious ; as docile, our
'far sentry Neptune, on his rounds sublime,
as the bright, planet dew poised oil the
aspen's leaf.
The world is going somewhere ; Our lit
tle family of planets aro on a journey,
and surely it is pleasant thus to travel
together: • Away towards the dni . north
west where' the constellation of the Ea
gle Spreads his star-light wings, We' are
moving—the kingly sun and his splendid
company of retainers.
Along the highway of heaven- we dre
going, wind twinges eyes it must be a pa 7
beast worth beholding. Who knows but
what we are 'beund to some far &taut
eburt; !ruled by an - elder' ,sun ? Who
knoWs'what grandet grOuphig, b 5 and
may likht the hollOw of •oui cloudless
nights ?
And . these Comets. May, be the,CoUri
cs of our radient prince,
.whose torches
flare afar,- as hastening to and fro, along
the route we go, they ever and 'anon re
turn with. - tidings"the way is clear=
move on,"and wheel again, and for awhile,
are seen:no more. iA fragment of their
route, like an arc of Apollo's. broken bow,
the Astronomer has grasped in that weak
hand of his and has completed the orbit,
and calculated - thcreturn of these heralds
of the king. If no world beguiles them,
.and makes them loiter by, the way., lo:
here itheir blazing. torches startle the
watching world, true to the prophet word,
and wain thoSe tidings come to Science'
listeping ear; "the highway Clear,, oh,
liege, the Sun, pass on !"
.No' blind, and blundering wanderers
are they, to plunge among, the' peaceful
fleets-and wreck'the craft whereon a God
descended, and an Eden . smiled. ~ On.
some high commission, tlie. Comet goes
and comes; to us who swing upon the ;
pendulum of the earth; whose souls a
summer zephyr may waft foreer from
our parted lips,' it, is even as some swift
cloud -that drifts along the sky; .in whose
pearly and crimson fords there may be
death ; but what a dower of beauty there
is in the rain; what a breath of blessing
in the shadow; what a token of hope Itit
the how. In God's good keeping all, the
sparroW's flight is guided, and the route
of.the falling leaf. ,
Wandering, they be, these Comets, but
not lost, for their iroute and time—are
they hot all recorded in the. books of the
Admiralty of high i ffeaven !

him, but some friends tell me he is look

been more popular in England -than! -Mr.
Sumner, and he is at presents floating on
the top wave of London Society. -I
heard the other day a good story of his
arrival here. He entered his 4mthe t upon
the- book as simply, " Mr. St miler, Bos

the. host and his flunkeys as an Ordinary
traveller. - The next morning - one.of the
latter came, to Mr. Sum ner's room in
some excitement, and said : "Lord
Brougham is down stairs, sir, asking for
you." - To the waiters ;:runinent, Mr.
S. quietly said,l Without, exAbiting - the
least.surprise—", Very well; , show 'him
up. . Not long ! afterwards, the former
came, still more excited: Sir,. the Lord
Chief Justice has called,- hndllie asks for
yoit!" "Show him up,'" u;m again the
cool reply. After his lordship I:ad de
parted, the waiter once more,' belyildered
and a little o.!:!•gravated: " Sir, Sir, the
Lord Chancellor of England bas called to
see you:" "Show him up,! , ' rF.peated Mr.-
