A Tale of the Comet.

A comet in its flight through apace, Earthward a visit paid ; Determined for itself to hear What tosk about it said. The superstitious ones declared, With terror-stricken cries, It's tail a Jacob's ladder ih For lungs to mount the blues. And iimorous mortals Oilod with awe, In fear and misery sit; Affirm it will a notice brmg, Thoir tenements Cu cjuii, But those of a less seiioua mood, Just laughed these l'ears to scorn ; And said " Eat, drink, and tuorry be, Nor heed to morrow morn." As thoso it heard, mothinks it sighed, And onward took its flight. Disgusted, gave its tail a nun, And vanishod out of sight. ~E. Williams Milton, May 26th.
