The comet.

From the French of Erckmann-Cha tbian.

Ihebe was a report last year just before the Festival of the Carnival that the world was about to come to an en . Itr wa3 Dt Zachariah Piper who first announced this agreeable news ; but it was soon published in the " Poor Pilgrim," the "Perfect Christian" and fifty other alma nacs and newspapers. It seems that Master Finer-had calcu lated that a comet would fall upon the earth about Shrove Tuesday; that it would have a tail of thirty-five millions _of leagnes in length, composed of boiling water, which would envelope the earth, melting the snow of the highest mountains, destroying vegetation and annihilating the hole human race. It is true a worthy astronomer of Paris named Popinot replied to this that a comet would appear about that time, but that its tail would be composed of vapour so extremely ethereal that no one would experience the least inconvenience from it, and that every one might attend, to his ordinary business as usual; he would take the responsibility. This assurance calmed the fears of many. Unlickily we had at Hunnebourg an old Bpinster named Molly Finck living in Por ridge Pot alley. She was a httle.pale, wrinkled old woman whom people were in the habit of consult ing on the knotty questions of life. She dwelt in a little, low room, whose coiling was hung with eggs painted red and blue, gilded walnuts, and a thousand other oddities. She wore a fantastic, oid fashioned dress, and lived upon water gruel, which made her opiniou upon super natural subjects of great weight. Molly Finck, instead of approving the counsel of Monsieur Pepinet, took ewes with Zacha riah Piper,warning every one io repentance and devotion, " For," cried she, " the end is nigh; the end is at hand." Molly had in her room a representation of hell, toward which we might see crowds descending by a wide path scattered with flowers, dancing and singing, some with battles in their hands, others with a ham or a festoon of sausages. A piper, his hat decorated with streamer?, played the clarionet to lighten the journey, and the careless wretches, their arms about each other's necks, gaily approached the preci pice, where one might already discern the limbs of those who were Doing swallowed up by the flames below. One can imagine the reflections of a thinking being on gazing upon this bcene. People are not so virtuous but that each one must liavo a certain number of sins upon his conscieaco, and no one can flatter himself that he can seat himself at once unchallenged, upon the light with the lambs. No; one must ba very conceited to imagine that things will be managed after that fashion. It would be the sign of a most unpardonable pride. Therefore the most of the townspeople thought; "No; this year we will not keep the Carnival; we will pass Shrove Tuesday in fasting and prayer." The like had never been seen. The adjutant and the captain of the plase, as well as all the sub-officers of the 3rd, in gaiiitorr'at Hnnnebourg, were in despair. All the preparations for the festival, the great hall of the town house, which they bad adorned with evergreens and trophies of arms, the platform which they bad raised for the orchestra, the "cakes and ale," in short,- all the dainties they had bo lavfihly provided would be a dead loss. For. not one of the maidens of the place would hear a word about dancing at such a serious time. " I am not ill-natnred," said Sergeant Duchene, ".but I would like to have Zacbariah Piper by the nape of the neck," Amidst the general depression,none were more cast down than Daniel Spitz,the town clerk; Jerome Berthe, son of the post master; Dujoi'diu, the assistant tax gatherer, and myself. The week before we Bald a little excursion to Strasbourg to en gage our costumes, Uncle Tobias had given me ten dollars that we might do things handsomely. I had chosen a cos tume at Madame Dnrdenai's, at the little Arcade-a kind of shirt, very fall, with

long sleeves, trimmed with buttons as large a? one's fist, which fasten one up from the chin to the knees. The head is'decorated with a fantastic cap, and with the face well chalked, provided one has a long nose, hol low cheeks and staring eyes, the effect is admirable. Dujardin being somewhat cor pulent had chosen a Turkish dress, embroi dered at the seams. Spitz was to appear as Punch, his suit made of a thousand patches of red, green and yellow.a hump before and behind, -with an enormous cocked hat. No thing could be finer, Jerome was going as a South American Indian, with a headdress of feathers. In imagination we saw the prettiest, girls quit the military beaux to bang upon onr arms. And after having been to all this expense and* trouble, to see everything fall to the ground on account of an old crazy witch, or a Zachariah Fiper,it was enough to give one a grudge against the -whole human race, But what can one do ? The world has al ' ways been led by fools. Shrove Tuesday arrived at lash The sky • was full of snow. We peered anxiously at the heavens; not a sign of the comet. The maidens appeared embarrassed and undeci ded. The young fellows ran to and fro among their cousins, their aunts and grand mothers, entreating them to lay aside their fears. ; ' •'You see plainly that Molly Finck is only an old crazy womas. It is ridiculous to mind her warnings. "Do comets ever come in cold weather? Don't they always choose harvest-time ? Come, come—decide quickly—there is yet time," etc., etc. On their sine, the subalterns divided themselves among the cooks and waiters exhorting and entreiting with such effect that at laat all began to take courage. The old folks came timidly in, arm in arm, "just to see the hall with its decorations of trioo lated flags and swords disposed on the walls ; like stars." Their apprehensions gave way —it is Shrove Tuesday—we have gained the day. The young girls drew their gayest dresses out of the wardrobe and began to polish their little shoes, At ten o'clock the laige hall was fall; not a pretty face was missing. The clari onets, the trombones, the big drums echoed; the lofty windows cast their radiance forth upon the night; the waltzers whirled like mad; the lads and lassies were in ecstacies of delight, aud the elders seated comfort ably'aloDg the walls laughed and chatted to their heart's content. Old Father Zim mer, who furnished the refreshments,put a handsome penny in his pocket that night. Out of doors the snow fell fast. Uncle Tobias had given me the key, with permission to stay as late as I pleased. I'ntil two o'clock I did not miss ojie waltz, bat then feeling that I had enough, and with my head tolerably dizzy, I des cended into the street. "> he fresh air relie ved me, and I began to deliberate whether I ■would go home, or go back for one more dance

I decided, however, to go home, and com menced groping my way along, making all sorts of reflections. I advanced thus for ten minutes, and was about to turn the cor ner by the fountain, when happening to look up I saw behind the trees of the ram part an object like a moon, red as.a coal, which seemed suspended in the air. It was thousands ot leagues away, but it travelled so rapidly that I felt cure it would be upon us in less than a quarter of an hour. My hair stood on end; the thought flash ed through my mind. "It is the comet 1 Zachariah Piper.was right!" And without stopping to think. I. rushed back to the Town House, flew upstairs at one bound, throwing down all who stood in my way, and cried out with a voice of thunder, " The comet!" the comet!" The merrymaking was at its height. The great drum pounded, the dsneefs kept time with their heels as they whirled by; but at the sound of these terrible wojds/a dead silence fell upon all-each one'stared at the other with a ghastly iast'. Sergeant Dachene darting toward the door, clapped his hand over my mouth, ex claiming: " Are you mad! Will you be sUent ?" But losing my balance I fell backward anlong the crowd already rushing down the stairway, still cryingat the top of my voice, "The comet! the comet! lv a,few seconds the hall was empty. Duchese disappeared, and, overwhelmed with despair, I took my way to the street. Passing the refreshment room I saw the cantinicre Catherine SagouttewithCorporal Boqnet emptying a huge bowl of punch, " Since the world is come to an end," said they, " we may as well finish this." At the foot ot the stairs a great number were seated mutually confessing their shortcomings, "I baye taken usury." said one. "I have given short weight," said another. '' I have cheated at cards," said.a third. All spoke at.once, and from time to time they howled in chorus, '• Heaven have mercy upon us." I re

cognised the old baker Feore and Goody Lauritz, but I was too much occupied with my own account to be much interested in theirs.

The greatest excitement was in the square around the fountain. The comet was plainly to be seen. It had already doubled its size. Flames seemed to stream from it and from the intense darkness a ronnd It appeared as red as blood, ! One cry went up from the crowd —"It is all over! It Is all over! we are lost 1" i As I stood there all the sins of my youth passd before me. I looked upon myself with abhorrence. My tongue was stiff in my mouth as I thought of the impending conflagration. Turning to tho old beggar, Balthazar, who stood trembling near me, leaning on bis crutch, I embraced him say- Jng: ; ''Balthazar, when you arc cafe in, Abra ham's bosom, you will have compassion on me, will you not ?" i To which he replied sobbing : "I am it great sinucr, Monsieur Chris tian. I have imposed upon the public for thirty years from pure laziness, I am not i so lame as I pretended." "As for me, Balthazar," I answered, " I am the most guilty person in all Hunne bourg 1" We wept in each other's arms. That is how it will be at the last day. Kings and bootblacks, "eutlcfolks and beg gars, no one will be ashamed of his neijjh- j bour ; all will be brothers,nono will despise the other, became lire purifies all things, and the fear of being burned will soften all hearts.

We had been on our knees thus about aquater of aa hour, when Sergeant Duch ene came up all out of breath. He had first run to the Arsenal, but seeing nothing the matter there ho came back to the street of the Capuchins. "Hownow l" cried he, "what is all the noise about?"—but perceiving the comet his jaw fell. " Zounds I what is that ?" ho stammered. •' It Is the end of the world, Sergeant," said Balthazar. " The end of the world 1" " Yes ; the comet." Chokiug down an oath he bethought himself.

" If one could find the Adjutant of tho place ono might learn the countersign." Then drawing his swoid, and taking a step forward, " Come on 1" he said; "who's afraid 1 Let us reconnoitre a little," Encouraged by his boldness, I crept along behind him. We proceeded cautiously along, one eye fixed on the comet, which seemed to grow larger every minute, travelliing as it did thousands of leagues in a second.

We came at last to tha angle of the old monastery of the Capuchins. The comet seemed directly overhead, As we advanced we were forced to raise our heads so that they almost bent back upon our necks. I was about to ask of Duchene if it were prudent to ventute any nearer, when he sud denly stopped. II Sacre Meu 1" said he in a low voice, " It is the old convent lantern 1"

"The lantern!" said I, hurrying up to him, "Is it possible?' We looked at each other in stupid amazement.

Itwai indeed the old street lamp of the monastery. It had not been lighted for years, fer the Capuchins had fled from the troubles of 1798, and at Hangebourg every one went to bed by the chickeus. But the old watchman, Burrbus, thinking tbat on this occasion some one might be going home a little elevated by the festivities of the evening, had hud the benevolent idea ot furnishing the old lantern with a candle, after which ho bad gone peaceably home to bed.

We discerned now very clearly the frame work of the lantern. The candle within was a good-sized one, and as it flared in the wind it might easily be mistaken for the erratic movement of the expected comet, Seeing how things stood, I was about to lilt up my voice to notify the others, when the Sergeant silenced me, say- Ing : "Hold your tongue; if they learn that we have given battle to a tallow candle we shall never hear the last of it."

So saying, he unbooked the rusty chain by which it was suspended over the middle of the street, and the thing fell to the ground with a cra?h, We fled in opposite directions.

The others, seeing the comet suddenly extinguished, waited awhile, and as it did not reappear they gradually took courage and went home.

The next day the news went that the calamity had heen averted owing to the in tercession of Molly Finck, and from that day she was held in higher esteem than ever.

And that is the way things went in the good little town of Hunnebourg.

The Murder of Professor Palmer.

The correspondent of the " Englishman," at Calcutta, writing from Suez on August 23, gives the following interesting par ticulars of the capture ot Professor Palmer and his two associates, whom a cablegram lately informed us were all murdered, The correspondent write?:

"Professor Palmer, Major Gill, K.Jf., and Flag Lieutenant Charrington, K.N., have, it.is feared, been carried off by a party of Arabs. These three gentlemen 10 days ago undertook a journey, which is mildly described in being called adven turous, intp the interior, towards the direction of Sinai, for the purchase of commissariat camels. At this unsettled juncture, the p:udent traveller, except it be in the conrse of duty, will do well not to intrude too closely upon the privacy of the Arab tribes who hover around Suez, "but Vrofes3or Palmer and his companions not only placed themselves in the most guileless manner in the power of v body of these men, but carried with them into the desert three thousand pounds sterling; a fact which was known not only to their protectors, but to many others besides. The sum was Government money, and Professor Palmer took it with him for the purchase of tbe camels on the ready-money system. It may he doubted whether it were possible for Arab nature, or indeed human nature, to steel lt*elf to the tempta tion thus offered. Here were three un protected gentlemen in the midst of the desert with three thousand golden aoye. reigns in their possession. Tiic opportunity would have tried the most benevolent of mankind. It appears that soon after Ad miral Hewett occupied the town, and it became generally known that the English wished to purchase camels, information came to Professor Palmer that there was a distinguished Sheikh encamped over Moses' Well who could probably assist him in procuring -a number of animals. Mr Palmer bad lately come overland from Gaza across the desert, and being iuti mately acquainted with Arabic, had offered his services to the Government. The "Well oEalosesi? 12-miles from Suez across the gulf on the Arabian coast. Mr Palmer saw the Sheikh, who was polite, and said if the Professor would.cime with him he could put him into communication with tribes who had camels for sale. He ex plained that there would ba no danger, and that he himself would furnish an escort and accompany the party. After some doubt it was arranged that the pro posal should be accepted. Mr Palmer, Major Gill, and Lieutenant Charriugton were to go with the Sheikh, and were to take with them £3000, for he had pointed out that cash payment? would be needed for any camels bought. The party set out ten days ago, the Sheikh being a member, and bringing an escort of three armed followers. One of these teen ha 3 now come into Suez bringing the story-that soon after entering* the desert towards Sinai, an attack was made on the camp at night by a body of hostile Arabs, who killed two of the escort and carried off the money, and that the Sheikh fled with the Englishmen to a friendly tribe close^to the scene. The belief here is that the story may be accepted so far as it relates to the robbery of the gold,-but that the other portions are of doubtful veracity, it is considered improbable that the attacking party really belonged to a hostile tribe; the chances are held to be that they were acting in collusicn with the distinguished Sheikh, who, the locally experienced say, will probably rmke his appearar.ee inafew days with Messrs Palmer, Gill, and Char riugton, and ask a reward for haying saved tbelr lives at the peril of his own. No one believes that any physical harm has be fallen these gentlemen. The Arab will not scruple' to rob a European, but, it is said, will rarely do bitn any other personal injury."

Work on Vegetable Diet.

Experience shows us that the great mass of tho labour of tho world ia done on a vegetable diet. In Japan, China, the whole of the East Indies, Persia, Turkey,! all Europe (savo the sea-coasts), all Africa, and Central America, flesh is seldom or never eaten by the poor, and over much of this tomtory not even by the rich. The finest limbs, tho healthiest teeth, best developed muscles, and most active frames In the world, are fed upon a purely vegetable diet, while, in regard to intel lectual and moral development, it ia a well ■ ascertained fact that there can scarcoly bo mentioned a great philoso pher or poet of ancient or modern times whohas not accorded his agreement, either in his opinions or hig practice, in favour of a vegetable regimen, Amongst many who have been veKetarlariaus we have such men as Pythagoras, Plato, Plutarch, Dio genes, Zeno, St. Marlin, St. Chrysostom, St. James, Senoca, Porphyry, John Pessari, Dr. Cheyne, Dr. Lambe, Kousseau, Shel ley, i FeneloD,- Proclu?, Socion, Quintus Sextus (> Apollonius do Tyana, Franklto, Lamartine, Wesley, Ignatius Loyola, Corn aro, limanuel Sweden borg, Wordsworth, the schools of Kssqno?, Thorapeutes, and Nnzarenes, If we examino into the chom istry of mau s body, we shall see that not only are all the elements which arc needed by the blood and which enter into tho hu man organism found in vegetables, not only tho ultimate elements, as carbon, oxy^sn, hydrogen, and nitrogen; but tho npproxi mate elements, as albumcD, fibrinc, and fatty matter, and the elements are in tho vegatable in great abundance and in great purity, iv many" cases in the vory propor tions ia which they aro needed, and froo from all taint of disease. This is never the case with tho flesh of animals eaten as food. The nutritive matters it contains are in tho wrong proportion,' and always mixed with oxcrouientitious nutters passing out of the animal, and often with the taint of disease, for the majotityof auimals killed for food are rendered unhealthy during life, by be ing deprived of somo of the conditions of health. Thus the flesh of the healthiest an imal contains much waste and poisonous matter,while thousands eaten ought to have been condemned by the market inspectors. —Food Reform Magazine.

The Sunflower.

Wears told that tbe Chinese worship the sunflower, not like our intenser rostbetes, because it is too utterly precious as an art object, but simply because they hold it to be the jnost useful vegetable in existence.' There would, indeed, appear io bo few purposes to which the sunflower cannot be turned with advantage to mankind. Scien tifically dealt with, it will supply ua alike with our morning roll and our evening cjgar. It is equally susceptible of conver sion into a cake of soap, surpassingly emol lient; or into a lich and lustrous eilk dress. As oil, it may be consnmed no less freely in the salad-bowl than in tho table-lamp. Cattle will fatten sooner on sunflower cake than upon linseed-cake. The little busy bee improves each shining hoar moro por fitably m connection with tho girasol than with any othur opening flower. In fact, so numerous are its excellences and so beneficial its virtues that the sunflower may with great propriety be designated the friend of man. People in this countiy will hardly go tho length of worshipping it for its versatilo utility, after tho Celestial mannor; but wo understand that its cul tivation upon British soil la about to be undertaken upon a largo scale. Several acres of ground will be laid down with sun flowers in the Thames Valley next year. /Esthetic pilgrims will doubtless flock to these inoffable plantations, eager to steep their souls in the yellow beauty of count less sunflowers, but carine little for those characteristics and capacities of the vege table which endear it to the "heathen Chinee." The more prosaic amongst us will view acres of sunflowers with justi fiable complacency, on the ground that we can scarcely have too much of a plant furnishing the wherewithal for eating, smoking, washing and dressing ourselves, lighting our rooms, .lubricating onr lettuces, and imparting a healthy obesity to our oxen.

Importing Toads into England.

In most districts ot Great Britain toads are moderately numerous, more numerous, in deed, than might be imagined, tor they are not animals that court publicity. In the face of this it is rather surprising, says the " Globe," to hear that toads are now being imported into this country from Austiia. They are packed into wooden boxes filled with moss, and on arrival fetch as much as £3 to £4 per hundred. Toads have long been an article of commerce here; in most well-ordered gardeas the visitor will ba occasionally startled by a quaint apparition on the pathway puffing like an asthmatic old gentleman, and the suburban market fardenera and nurserymen very frequently aye them in their frames and greenhouses and about their ground-!. But until recen tly our horticulturists were perfectly satis fied with the exertions of the native toad in ridding them of slugs,'grata, and noxious Insects It is possible that tho Austrian toad may be larger and more voracious than ours, and this may explain the fact of ilB importation. At present it does not seem to have put in an appearance at Covent Gar dens, where a stock of toads and green trogs are usually kept. At any rate the now visitant, if only as useful as the native ani mal, deserves a hearty welcome as a cheap and useful ally of the garJener.for not only does the toad live to an extreme old.ago, butit has the unusual merit of finding its own provender and lodging. And beyond this, it has much more good-nature in it than its forbidding exterior would seem to indicate, and has frequently become so tame as to come at a call or even the sound of a whis tle. And when dead its usefulness does not necessarily cease, for naturalists before now have found lnseots of great rarity in the stomachs ef toads they have happened to dissect. Altogether it is very evident that St. Patrick made a slight oversight when be banished the toad from the Green Isle in company with tho "sarpint*" and other hurtful creatures.

Burst His Coat.

Onk evening Carlotta Patti sang in one of the large American cities. Just as Ferrariti, the buffo, was leading her out of the doors upon the platform, some one in the ante room behind cried out to him that his coat had burst at the seam in the back. It was too late to go back, for the;audience had seen him, and V c two siogers adranced to the footlightf. The knowledge of this mishap took all the humour out of ifarranli, and the duet, which was sung in Italian was so dolefully devoid of its usual humonr, that Patti noticed it before they were half through, and dropping the text of the duet she fitted the following words to it, in Italian: " What is the matter with you to-Dight? I don't understand your nervous ness. Nobody lauahs at you 1" Whereupou Ferrantl,Jin mellifluous Italian, responded, "By the saints, 1 have burst my coat 1 Everybody will laugh when I go oft" tho stage,if they don't'now ?" At this personal interchange, MaxMaretzekandhisorchestra began to laugh immoderately. Then the people ia tho front seats, seeing the orches tra and the artists laughing, joined in themselves, and the merrimeDt presently broke into applause all over the house. " Ah," said one of tho papers next morn ing, '"thero is always something majestic ia Ferranti's singing that song. People burst into sympathetic laughter without being able to tell why. "

A Caution to Burglars.

BABNUM is not dead; he is devoting his stupendous energy to the great burglar question, which is perturbiDg Iranistan, ttie family seat of the Baruums; Burglar alarms, man traps, spring guns, electricity, are used in profusion, but the mind of Jsarnum is in favour of simpler instruments. Iranistan, as its name suggests, is a picturesque oriental edifice, crown«d with innumerable domes, in the shape of in verted turnips, like the Pavilionat Brighton, and lends itself admirably to the defensive measures. Without in the least interfering with its architectural beauties, he has ou tlived to hang roußd the exterior a num ber of powerful gongp, which, by a simple mechanism, can be all banked at once. On hearing a suspicious noise the wakened sleeper is requested to pull the rope at his bedside, when a roar and a clang is brazened fonh that surpasses Wagner's wildest conceptions of thunder in the " Walkyrie," and can only be realised by those who have passed half-an-hour^n a balloon during a thunderstorm. Whether house-rent near Iranistan has fallen we are not told, but it. is probable : it would be curious, moreover, to know from a person who has spent a week with Barnum, if he has passed many sleepless nights, and whether his.host guarantees against un necessary nervousness on the part of one's fellow visitors.
