' TEE AURORA.
Thefmaguificent display of the Aurora
Borealis on Sunday evening, which was
witnessed with wonder and delight by
thousands of people throughout the Nor-
thern half of this country, was evidently
a phenomenon of more than usual inter-
est from a scientific point of view.—
1 2 Whether we consider; the rare brilliancy
’11 of the scene in the heavens, the intensity
of the colors and the duration of the dis-
play,o'r';the wide-area on which the pile
nomeiionwas observed in apparently un-
diminished splendor, or the wonderful ef-
fect Wrought during the display upon the
telegraphic wires all over the country, we
shall regard this occurrence as especially
worthy the attention of scientific men.—
Among the many excellent descriptions
i’thii,’ remarkable scene, presented, we
have given elsewhere We, one from the
Newburyport Herald, and one from the
New‘ York Evening Post, which will in-
terest our readers. By our exchanges we
find- that .tbeisam'e phenomenon was ob
served in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New
York, Albany, Utica, Buffalo, Cincinnati,
Chicago, .Lo‘uisville, St. Louis, Quebec,
4» Portland and Boston, and at all these
points - the description given corresponds
remarkably as to details of appearance
and time with the phenomenon as wit-
nessed here. We have heped that some
of the savans would favor the public with
theirobservatious'on the occurrence, but
havetise'én nothing of more consequence
than the freaksbf the weather clerk, E.
Mesriam, who improves the opportunity
to state that he once picked up a piece
. _ E. M. evidently
v stands for Extremely Mythical.
As our readers are aware, the origin
. of the auroral light has long been a mat-
ter of dispute among scientific men. The
late Prof. Olmsted argued that it was of
cosmical origin. and was led, especially
by the periodical return‘ of remarkable
auroral displays, to infer that they are
caused by a nebulous body of infiemable
matter revolving around the sun, which
”became inflamed when by the revolutions
of the earth our atmosphere is brought in
contact with it. But other scientific men
, hold that the phenomena are of terrestri-
al origin, some ascribing it to, solar light
" E: frefracted in the higher regions of the at-
mosphere, and others, with more reason,
to the agency of magnetism. The mag-
'-' notic‘theory has been confirmed, first by
experiments in passing electricity through
highly rarefied air, when displays not nu-
like those of the aurora are produced on
a small scale, and again, by the frequent-
ly observed disturbance of electric wires
This magnetic
firmation from the phenomenon observed
during the display of Sunday night.
Never since the establishment of tele-
,phs in this country have the wires
been so greatly afi'ected by the aurora as
on Sunday night. Throughout the Nor-
:the'rn States and Canada the wires Were
rendered utterly useless; and so strong-
ly'were they impressed that it was found
“ impossible in some localities to transmit
messages through lines of only twelve
.miles’éiu length. This influence was ob-
served nbt only during the display, which
commenced, it will be remembered, as
soon as the as the sun’s light had faded
on Sunday evening, but was distinctly
perceived on Saturday evening and da-
ring the wholeday following. The mag-
netic storm Was'in'progress hours before
' . .. the twilight revealed its manifestations to
the eye, and during the afternoon it was
impossible to work many of the wires.—
The wire between Boston and Fall River
had no battery during the day, and yet
there was a constant current from the
aurora strong enough, had it been consa
tant for the working of the line.
.‘Theefl'ect of the aurora or magnetic
. stqrm upon the wires is not like that of
ordinary electricity, and the disturbances
caused .at such seasons difi‘er essentially
from those caused by thunder storms.—
The current from the aurora comes in
waves—first a wave of powerful magne-
tism, 'which gradually subsides and is fol-
‘ . lowed by a powerful negative current and
so on. An intelligent observer in a com-
' munication to the Boston Journal, says
. these waves come at first light, and then
stronger, until we have frequently, the
strength of current equal to that produc-
;ed by a battery of two hundred grove
cups. . But what seems most singular is
the constant changing of the poles of this
,..celestia,l battery. The poles changed du-
ring» every wave, each wave occupying
fifteen seconds. When the poles of the
auroraare in unison with the poles of-the
current upon the line, its efi‘ect is to in—
crease the current, but when they are 0p-
posed, the current upon the wires is neu-
, tralizeil. These effects were observed at
times during Saturday and Sunday, but

of the splendid panorama, not less beau-
tiful than that of Sunday night, and
though we do not yet learn how exten-
sively it was observed, we hear that the
wires in this State were greatly disturb-
ed. These facts secm to establish beyond
a doubt a connection between the auro-
ral displays and those violent perturba-
tions of the earth’s magnetic system
which are called magnctlc storms.
It was thought at one time that a sup-
posed difi'erence in the auroral display in
the Northern and Southern latitudes
might cast some light upon the problem.
Early observers asserted that the aurora.
australis differed from the aurora boreal-
is in having a whiteish color, without
those brilliant tints which make the dis-
plays iu the Northern latitudes so mag-
nificent. But Commodore Wilkes, in the
narrative of the U. S. Exploring Expedi-
tion, makes frequent mention of beautiful
colered displays in the Antarctic regions
which he visited.
But whatever explanation may be giv-
en of these phenomena, none who obser-
ved the aurora on Sunday night or Thurs-
day night can wonder that in earlier
times such displays Were witnessed With
strange awe, and gave rise to ten thous-
and superstitions fears. The blood _red
sky was thought portentious of horrible
events. The imagination, powerfully ex-
cited by a sight so wonderful, easily trans-
forms the dancing streamers of light into
forms of familiar objects in motion, and
we do not wonder that the Greeks and
Romans saw in the flashing banners of
light
Fierce fiery warriors fight upon the clouds,
In ranks and squadrons, and right form of war.
They even imagined that sounds of
trumpets and arms came from them and
not Pliny only, but many later writers
have asserted phat noises have been heard
accompanying the gorgeous display,
though the most reliable travellers in
Northern latitudes record no Other sound
than a. distant crackling like that pro-
duced by the sparks of an electrical ma-
chine. The glowing descriptions given
by early writers'must also be read with
some allowance for an excited imagina-
tion, and it is probable that no period
has witnessed more brilliant displays of
the aurora than those of the past centu-
r .
yThe auroral manifestation of Aug 28,
1859, will we think he acknowleged by
all as the most splendid of the kinddever
witnessed thus far by the present genera-
tion, and should not be allowed to pass
unnoticed or undescribed. But who can
find language adequate to the description
or colors with which to sketch the ever
varying forms and hues at the some of its
perfection ? With Wise the aeronaut,
who loses the inspirations of the aerial
scenes when he deceuds to the earth, so
we feel that the sunlight blots out from
the memory the impressions and inspira-
tions that the merry dancers generate,
and that the picture should be drawn by
the light of the meteor itself.
To those who saw the phenomena this may
not only be unnecessary, but may perhaps de-
tract from the images already stored away in
memory of the senses; but those who were not
favored with the view, and more especially
to aid in fixing some points, which in connec-
tion with others seen in different and distant
localities, may be of service in ascertain-
ing the height of the meteor, an imperfect de-
scription may not be totally hvoid of inter-
est and utility. ‘
After a most delightful Sabbath, remarka-
ble for the clear and invigorating airs of the
morning, and the abundance of low cumulus
clouds which were pres. ing seaward during
the day—the sun sunk below the horizon, but
the shadows of evening came not on. The
Eastern sky about half past seven o’clock,
seemed to outvie the Western, save only with
reversed colors, the pink of the morning ta-
king the place of the golden hues of the setting
sun. In a few moments these golden hues
were repeated in the Northeast and the West,
and the luminous arch had passed the zenith
and was fast covering the Southern sky, and
at a quarter before eight had enveloped Ant-
eres in its embrace. At eight minutes of 8
o’clock. the star Tau-Scorpii,was at the South-
western edge of the luminous fringe. At 9 o’
clock, Lambda-Scorpii marked its Southern
border. At a quarter of 10, the N ortheru bor-
der of a luminous arch passing from East to
West, was marked Nu in the right foot of the
Swan, while the Whole Southern and South-
western heavens were glowiug with streamers
rushing to the elevated pole of the magnetic
dip—situated at this time a little to the South-
east of the Swan—the whole N ern heav-
ens being entirely destitute of e auroral
light. At this juncture in an instant as it
were, the merry dancers sprang up from the
Northern heavens, and at 10 o’clock the whole
celestial vault was glowing with streamers,
crimson, yellow and white, gathered into folds
waving and brilliant,a little to the South and
East of the zenith—~afi'ording a canopy far
richer in tints, and more magnificeut in text-
are than ever was suspended above the head
of the most haughty Oriental monarch.
This was the moment to draw the picture
but other facts solicited the attention. We
had noticed the night before a flickering faint
light while examining by the aid of a teles-
cope some stars in the constellation of Aquila
aand that the stars increased and diminished
very suddenly in their apparent magnitude,
and that there was occasionally a flash of
lightning from the North, and scrutinized the
heavens again for comparison, but no appear-
ance of mist or haziness was to be observed.
The light was examined by the polarioscope,
and found not to be polarized. The barome-
ter stood at 29,945 in ; thermometer at 57°,
and not a cloud obscured the sky. The tele-
graph wires were spontaneously charged du-
ring the evening, and writing which no man
can decypher pricked 011‘. The stars were so
lost amid the efi‘ulgence as to make it some-
what difilcu It to make out the constellations;
we had in fact no night here. Without sun,
moon or star, from sunset- to sunrise print
might be read by the aid of a small lens, and
the time ascertained from the watch—remind
ing one of that world where they need nocau
dle, neither light of the sun,for the Lord Go-
giveth them light.
————4«.»O—-—-——
MISERABLE Mischa—Everybody has
a bad word to say of a miserly man.—
The preacher, the moralist, the wit and
the satirist are unusually severe on the
poor miser, whose very _name was as-
signed him by the Romans to signify
that he was a wretch. Miser~misera-
ble. The author of the Tin Trumpet
says, pointedly enough, “ A miser is one
who, though he loves himself better than
all others, uses himself worse, for he lives
a pauper in ordcrto enrich his heirs,whom
be naturally hates because he knows they
hate him.”
“ But an old satirist puts the case more
poiugedly still, yet hardly beyond the
tint :
“ How many a man from love of pair
To stuff his coffers. starves himself, '
Labors, accumulates and spares,
To lay up ruin for his heirs ;
With every throb, with every wink,
His soul intent is on the chink.
Grudgcs the poor their scanty dole ;
Saves everything except his soul ;
And always anxious, always vexed,
Loses both this world and the next.”
Does anybody recognize the picture?

to the following letter written to the Editors

Ma. Enrrou : —In the fire at No. 39 Warren
street. on the morning of the 9th inst,our
most valuable books and papers were exposed
for 36 hours in one of Stearns & Marvin’s
Fire Proof Safes.
We say fire proof, not because they are so
labelled. but because we have so proved
them. Our books and papers came out un-
injured. save the binding of the books, occa-
sioned by steam.
Our store was five stories above ground,
and two stories below, occupied from cellar
to garret. The intensity of the heat can be
attested to by any fireman who witnessed it.
No furnace can be contrived by the inge-
‘nuity of man to create a more intense heat.
We voluntarily give this tribute to the value
of these Safes. and select your widely circu-

Scrofiila, or King’s Em]:
is a constitutional disease, a corruptionbf the
blood, by which thisfluid becomes vitiated.
weak, and 01'- Being in the circulation. it
pervades the whole body. and may burst out.
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks. nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
r'caused by mercurial disease, low living dis-
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air’filtll
and filthy habits, the depressing vicesfon'l
above all, by the venereal infection. What:
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending “ from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation ;" indeed.
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, it I
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children."
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor-
ruption, Which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu.
tions not only suffer from scrofulous com.
plaints, but they have far less power to with-
stand the attacks of other diseases: conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de.
cimates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs. arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause. -
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in-
fection, and their health is undermined by it-
'10 cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an alterative medicine, and in-
wgorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such a medicine we supply in
AYER’S
Compound Extract of Saisapnrilla,
the most effectual remed which the medical
skill of our. tunes can ilevise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com-
bmed from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system. from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only scrofula, but also those other affec-
tions which arise fiom it, such as Enumvn
