The best thing writte by Edward Everott ia his MoutU Verifni Papers, is an article on tba late couiet. After deseribing his approaoh to the earth, the beaiitli'ul picture is preaented. He says; " Katurn, tben mysterious traveler, to tho depths of the heavous, nevar again to bc soen by the oyes of men now living! Thou hast run thy race with glory !- , Mülions of eyas havo gazad on thee with wonder - but thoy shall nevcr look upon theo again. Siuce thy last appearanog in these skieq, empiros, languagos and races of men have died away, the Macadonian, tha Alexandrian, the Augqstr.n, the Parthiao, tho Byzantine, the tíaraoenio, the Ottoman dyuasties have sunk or are einking into the gulf of ages. Sincu thy last appearance, oíd ooutnonta havo relapsed iuto ignorarice, and new worlds have come out from behiud the veil of waters. Tho Magian gres ro quenched on the hill-tops of Asia, the Ohaldean is blind ; the Kgypiian hiero gramist bas lost hiscunuiog; tho oritlv's are dtimb. Wisdom now dwells in j.lie furtherest Thulcs or io newly discovored worlds bcyond the soa. Haplj wlien wheeling up agaiu from the celestial abysses, thou art seeu o:icc more by tho dwellera of earth, the language we speak gball be forgotten, and soience s hall liavo lied tO tho utl D !■;■' ,,, of tho earth. But even thcro, liis hand that uow inarks thy wondrous circuit, shall still guide thy course ; and tben, as noy, Hesper will smile at thy approach, and Arotui'US with his sous rejoico at thy coming.
