ed—a Poem—by Rev. N. EMMOSS Jou.~'so2:.—
1_\lcw York; published by John S. Taylor 1843.
The cliiaf‘ object of this little poem, as the author
inf'orms the reader in the preface, is to illustrate
the value and elticicncy of’HouseholdConsecratioii.
The hero of the poem is a young man, a son pf
, pious parents, who wanders from his paternal honle
‘in New England. He is subjected to a variety of
temptations, his characteris developed, and the rov-
ing son is at length restored. Prayer and faithfiilnesiz
are rewardcd—thc covenant is maintained, and the
honor of‘ God rendered conspicuous. It is on the
wliole an excellent poem, \_V'ltel.l‘lCI‘ estimated by its
moral influence, or as a specimen of pract.ical taste.

he lived with her as his mistress, and finally
got tired of his victim, had deserted her
and "in order to rid liiuis-.-lf ofher impottuoi-
ties had come to Mobile. The prisoner tra-
ced him to this city, found out his boarding
house on Hamilton street, and on Thursday
evening while the family was at supper at-
tempted his life with a Spanish di'rk_'-knife.
I-le partied the bolw and_,seizetl her, when
she went offinto hysterics. in which condi-
tion she was taken to the Guard House.

Mu. Enirou.-—'I‘tiis day, Feb. 28th, a
Comet at great brilliancy has been visible

and 315 lifilllfllmv "t.-qttal to that of Veuus.—
its Situation is vetyfncar the eastern limb of
the sun ; its tail app:-.-sped about 3 deg, ip
length. It may be the cgmet, announct;-id
some three months since in Europe ; it was
then tl‘ttVel'SiI_l_{ the constellation Draco; be
it that or another, it is of‘r-are brilli-.m;,y,—.
Tlicre are but three on record. of suflit~'ient_
biilliancy to be seen in the day season. Thci
ms: was 413 years before Cb tist, and is called
a “hairy starz” It was seen with the naked
eye in the day time. 'l‘.'ie'secorid was in the
year 1402., and was so brilliant that the
light of the sun, at the end of March did not
hinder people seeing it at mid-day; both its
nucleus and its tail was, to use the language
of the day, "two fathotns long.” 'l‘he third
appeared Feb. 18th, 171,!!!“ and nearly equal‘-
led Venus in splendor, and many persons
saw it at mid-day without glasses. It may
yet prove that the comet of to day is the
same as that 1402. Three observations only
hit: necessary to ‘calculate its orbit, the ele-
meriis of wftich, if previously registered, will
enable g-_a_stronoruers to decide ‘whether the
come‘. under consideration has appeared or
not. 0
