We hear a gr" it d-.ii from the lyccuin about the nebulous origin of the solar system, the existence of a central sun in the group of the Pleiades, and tlu* nu. ^ii.int tin c,f tLe comets. These v ague and tii,founded speculations are set bv tlie >. !■• ot the best established certainties of science in borrowed light, and are thus accredit c l precis 1 v as the Homeric tales were through the traditions of popular religions. Put have we nothing to fear from the wan dering comets? Most certainly we have.— “ 1 he tiling in the world,” says Montaigne, “I am most afraid of is fear; ” and this, wo think, is the direst calamity comets have ever brought in their trains. Men are mightily given to the worship of occult causes, and when any thing does appear new under tlie sun it is invested with an omnipotence of evil painful to cos tern| late. 1 he tacts in regard to these wanderers are few and simple; the conjectures many and mi raculous. In the first place, comets are much more numerous than angels’ visits, about live a year having been observed during the period when the prize of a comet-medal, offered by the King of Denmark, stimulated the zeal of amateur astronomers. It is probable that all the comets visible in tin; northern hemisphere, with the optical means cf the amateurs, w^re seen during this pe'iod; fur there was scarcely a comet which had not several independent discoveries. Since the comet-medals have been withdrawn the annual average ot discoveries has sensibly di minished, ami it ntay not he out of place here to suggest to our American princes, what indeed was urged before the “ American association for the advancement ot science” last summer, that a renewal ot these pi ize-medals in this country might he of signal serv.ee to American astro nomy. 1 he cornets already discovered are unques tionably but a very small part of the swarm wh: ii are Hitting like great ce eslial musquitoes round the sun. While m idem observatioi s have thus estab lished the giegaii uis habits of tin so !••: g-t,tiled monsters, the minutest observations and the exactcst ealcu'atie shave billed M dot-, t the slightest dsliirbirig el'i'i't In on them in the nm ti"' s of the planets, though the mmols them selves have suffered great disturbances. ' The remarkable case of L -xell’s comet de serves special mention. This comet passed in 1. 70 very in ar the earth, alter having made a simitar approach to Jupiter. Its orbit was de termined ai.d its return predicted from obser vations then made; but it never came back, and subsequent cal illations showed that its return was prevented by the action of Jupiter during a second and >ti 1, nearer ap| roach ut the comet, even within the jovial circle of the old fellow's retainers. The comet entirely changed its course alter this interview, and was never re cognized a-am, vet the circumjovial statedites kept steadily in their old courses. It i.- lughly probable that comets make a great show with very little material, and the chance of the earth’s beii g hit liv the little solid matter there is in any of them is very small.— the prediction of a collision is h.-yond the power of mathematics, for the position of a c-mel's mbit, and the comet’s position at anv time in its orbit, cam.ot he determined with siiliic eut precision; and even if the data were suflici-ntly exact to predict a collision of the earth and emnot in their undisturbed orbits, it would be inpo-sible to d-tenuiue with preci sion the modifying effect uf their mutual ac tion. In .ni ; robabnity a comet, even c miing within the dominant influence of the earth’s at traction, won Id pass by and be whisked off into another orbit. 1 no .-ai lb’s budy is a small mark fora comet to aim at. 1 fie comet’s tail is, to be sure, sometimes of very inconvenient length; hut it gives so manv indications of a ghostly nature, is so transparent and unsubstantial, that our atmosphere is as adamant to it. Vet it is possible, in a collision " here no actual contusion may occur, that the malignant .ntluences and dire calamities may soak i; ; and so there is unfortunately a chance el convict ng these heavenly vagabonds of the chaigos » inch sup munition and ignorance have in past ages made against them. Mite, is, .lark days, an 1 d seas - are still to be accounted i -r, a d until they are traced to the.r cause- men \\.11 stand, as Lord Keuyou Used to say, stater autiquus vins—on their old superstitions. i ue large numoer ot the comets, their ever varying a| pearance, and the great perturbations of their orbits, make the identification of any but those "t short-periods extremely difficult; and, as yet, little or nothing is known about their nature and constitution. Cometic astro nomy is still in its infancy. All that is un known is common ground; and so we find the physicians and chemists storing away malarias and sublimated poisons in their pernicious tails, eager apparently to be in at the •judgment and have a baud with the astronomers and preachers in the destruction of thesavorld. \ arious hypothesis have been advanced about the nature ol the comets’ tails. Sotpe have supposed that they are vaporous exhalations from the nucleus driven olf by heat by their own elasticity and by a supposed repellent force of the sun. These forces must bo very vigo rous to account for the rapid formation of the trains in some recorded cases. Others suppose that the apparent tails are only the reflections ot light from portions of a much mare extend ed substance, somewhat as a long Hue of the ruffled surface of the sea is illuminated by the sun or moon. Others again resort to that prince ol occult causes, electricity, and thus concen trate all l heir ignorance in a single word. There our readers had better let it be left; and meantime we recommend them to possess their souls in peace. We promise them suffi cient notice of the comet’s approach to unable them to move out of its wav; and, if they will leave us their address, we will send them the “Evening l’osl” of the following dav with a full account of its advent and performances. 1 11 A VI: Nil .MOTlir.lt NOW.

Mother! Tne sw *ete*t wold in all the taiihtiijg language of mm I It is the mission of woman—it is the holy mission of the mother—to impress* upon the young mind the first lessons of truth, virtue, wisdom, and courage. Her empire is iu the affection* of her husband and children, who “rise up and call her blessed.’’ On the right regulation of these independent households depends the welfare of the larger communities which, with powers more limited, arc composed ot these associations and fairs which are calculated to enoble. dignify, and en rich tho occupation of t e farmer, just so far will tend to increase the activeness atnl the wholesome influences of lbs home—making him and the members of his household better citizens of the larger communities. The family being a divine institution, the sentiment and the affection upon which it is based are inate in man. Hence its universality. No merely human institution, however perfect, can ever lake its place. Directly or indirectly, almost all great and good men have been in debted lor their beneficent power and influence ! to the early teachings of parents, and the genial nurture ot home. Above all nations, we should cherish the family relation. The in fluence of homo was the inspiration that swell ed the great hearts of our fathers for the strug gle which has given freedom to their sons; and we will fail to transmit the boon to our de scendants if we enlist not in its preservation the helps by which it was originally won. If all homes could be made pleasant, and all family relations fraternal, kind and pure,society would lose its hypucricy and guile; and mankind, ac tuated by true Ciir.stian charity, would move steadily on from triumph to triumph toward the pertection ot the intellectual and moral na ture of man. 1 he spirit ot inquiry, investigation, and en terprise, that has been awakened at the town ship, county, and State Fairs, by competition for premiums on household fabrics, and on pro ducts of the dairy, the farm, and the shop, may jus*In he r. garded as a link iu the chain ot home education; and tins is a verv proper direction tor things to take at this period iu our history. At the base of the prusp Tty of anv people lies th s great principle— making ah. .r fashiona ble at home.

By means of tho pow erful ihtiueuccs of early home education, en deavor to hues: practical labor that wall cheer the heart of each member of the tannic, and thereby you will give to your household the g »ce, peace, retineme1 t, and attraction which God designed a home shoul 1 possess. Tho truth is, we must talk more, think more, and it't more iu rctereuce to questions relating to home. 1 lie training and improvement of the physi cal. intellectual, social, and moral power and sent met ts of the youth of our country requires something more tha i the School house, Acade my, College, and University. Tire young mind should receive judicious training in the field, in the garden, iu the barn, in the work-shop, in the parlor, in the kitchen—iu a worJ, around the hearthstone, at home. What- ■ver intellectual attainments your son may have acquired, lie is unlit to go forth into society if he lias not had thrown around him the gonial and purifying intlueuccs of parents, sisters, brothers, and the man-saving influence of the family7 government. Ttie nation must look tor virtue, wisdom, and strength, to the education that controls and shapes the home policy ot the family circle. There can be no love ot country w here there is no love of home. Patriotism, true and genuine, the only kind worthy of the name, derives its mighty strength. In in Ibuntaii s that gush out around the hearth stone; and those who forget to cherish tho household interest will soon learn to look with i difference upon the interests of their common country7. We must cultivate the roots—not tho tops. W e must make the family government, the school, the farm, the church, tiie shop, the ag ricultural fairs, the laboratories of our future greatness. We must educate our sons to be farmers, artisans, architects, engineers, geolo gists, btanists, chemist—in a word, practical men. Their eyes must he turned from Wash ington to their States, counties, townships, dis tricts, and homes. This is true patriotism and tlie only patriotism that will perpetually pre serve tho nation. si \<;in<;.

The Rector of St. Bardolph’s takes oil' this style admirably in describing the singing of the following stanza: “ ‘ True love is like that precious oil, hid), pour'd on Aaron's head, Ran down his beard, and o’er liis robes Its costly moisture shed.’ “In the prodigious effort of this perform ance, the ear-splitting combination of the sev eral voices hardly bore a resemblance to that oily current poured on Aaron's head, and which “ ‘ Ran down his beard, and o'er his head— Ran down his beard -—-— -—-his robes And o'er his robes Ran down his beard-ran down hi* ---o'er his robes His robes, his robes, rail down his beard— Ran down his ---o’er his robes, Kan down his lieard -li-i-s b-e-a-r-d Its costly moist Kan down his heard — ure —bear! his—beard—his—shed. Kan down his beard—his down His robes - its costly moist—his beard - ure shed his -cost —his robes —ure shed Its c-o-s-t-l-i-e moia-tnre-shed!' ” A California Wife,—Wo have been told that when John Bigler, late Governor of the State of CalifornTii, was a member of the State Legislature, Mrs B., his wife, absolutely wash ed the clothes of somo of the honorable gentle men for so much a dozen. At the time of his election Bigler was very poor, and his per diem was hardly enough for himself ai d wife to live on in those prodigal times. To make both ends meet, and to save something against a rainy day, Madame Bigler put her sholder to the wheel, as above related. Now, won’t this be rather startling to the pale-faced, attenuated damsels of the East, who scream and faint at the sight of a wash-tub or a cobweb? Think of it! The wife of an ex Governor with her sleeves and gown tucked up, bending over the wash-tub, while her hus band, with his dickey standing upright,chafing his ears, rose to a question of privilege—“Mr. Speaker! Mr. S-p-e-a-k-e-r!” And then think of the ex-washwoman being feted, three years after, as the wife of the Governor of the State of California, worth a hundred and fifty thou sand dollars!—enough of money to make the heads of universal snobdom duck and divelike an affrighted water-fowl in a thunder storm! Good for the Pennsylvania Dutch girl! Five hundred years hence, when the historian lifts the veil from tile catacombs of the past, aud writes the history of the unforgotten dead, he may, perhaps, append this little episode to the history of one of California’s Governors, and the little ragged girls that then go down to dip water from the Rio Sacramento may think better of their mothers who have to labor, be cause a long time age Mrs. John Bigler, the Governor's wife, tilled her wash-tub from the same noble river. These are the piouoer wo men of California. Therej are many such, as strong-willed and as true, who quail not at their own footsteps in the woods, whose heartssweli with hope at The banging of the hummer, Aud the creaking of the vran*
