The Phenomenon of a Lunar Eclipse is too well understood to need explanation—From the Earth therfc projects into the open expanse, opposite to the Sun, an enormous Shadow tar exceeding rite distance of the moon from the earth: Through this shadow, if not above or below it, the moon passes at a certain period in every lunation; that is, at every Full Moon. The size, or diameter of the earth’s shadow at the moon, varies w ith her Geo centric distance. As the moon can never be longer than ih. s’m. sec. in passing through its centre, nor less time than hree :>h. > in. 2Csec., it follows that the diameter ot this shadow at the moon's dis tance from the earth, varies from .230 to 6020 miles ; supposing the mean motion of the Moon from the Sun, to he I H) Geographic miles perhour. it is the five field system, iioi - tion —Ist.

It was in that beautiful season of the year, when the extreme heats of summer have passed away, and the delicious days, and more and ■liciou evenings of autumn succeeded; when the air is tilled wit'* music, and the fanning breeze hears health and fra grance on its wings; and when the darkened hue of field and forest, though still unfaded and lovely in their verdure, whispers that, like all things earthly, they arc hastening to decay—it was in such a season, not many years ago, and in a romantic country place, that the incidents of the following tale occurred. Twi light had conmvnced her melancholy reign, in a vailey of the Catskill mountains, though tlie lingering glo ry of tiie sunken sun was still glow ing.l.ko a flood ol’niolten gold, upon their summits, when two persons, a young man and woman, issuing from the shadow of the woods, by a lit lie path, took their seats on the fallen trunk of n tre , beside a stream that rippled at their feet. The female appeared to be about twenty years oft, and was arrayed in the simple mid modest attire, which is one of the mo.-l common characteristics of our country maidens.

He held the hand of his fair companion within his own, and was conversing with her, in that low and softly modulated tone, which is taught by love itself, while she sat listening, “ nothing loth,” or we might rather say, " with greedy cars, devouring his dis course." "You know, Sally,” for thus the conversation ran, "you know that my affairs arc very much changed tor the worse, since you gave me your word that you would become j my wife. If farmer Scitemely hadn't : died, before ho finish and List new mill-1 {tower, i dare say he’d a-bcen utile j tu’uva -old it for enough to pay me ; all I lent linn, and taken up that deu ced note himself; but as it is, it must till coma out of my little farm, and then I shan’t have much left.- , But these bands will be 1 ft, Hally ; .md this heart will be left ; you need , i’t be afraid while 1 have the one, but we shall always be able to get a comfortable living, and the love of the other will last till that heart it selfi grows cold m death, and these hands are folded over it in the sleep of the grave.

It yet: do, von know little of my heart.— When I look’d round, and saw every thing ?o pleasant and prosperous about vou, I was glad in my soul; but it was on your account as much as on my own. I have often thought when tiie twilight hour came down upon the valley, to make every thing 1 -ok mistv and dim, and brought sad feelings along with it, that it V> iil iam’s house was to be burnt down, nd his cattle was to dia, & th ’ sher iff was to seize his farm, and he him self was to he |iut into prison, that 1 would low Ir.m still, with a truth that time couldn't alter, nor absence divide. And why did I love you, William? Was it because affairs went on smoothly with you, and you wore smart clothes, anil rode a fine horse, and rode so well'? I can lay my hand here, and answer, no.—, Was it because you beat all the young men in the village playing trail, and pitching rjimits, and such thin?* ! you can t believe me so fool ish. ~ IV:, I’ll ,01l you why it was.— You was a good son. lengthening out your olti father's and mother’s days by your obedience and kindness to them: you was constant at meeting on Sabbaths, and always had some thing for the plate ; and more than :i||, you went about doing good, with out letting people know who it was that did it; & it was by mere chance 1 may say, that 1 found out ’twas you that helped my own cousin Har ry cut of his troubl , and {laid the debt yourself. ’Twas for these things that I loved you, William ; and here's my Land,'if you choose to take it; it’s one that will hold by you through good report, and thro’ evil report, and leave you only when death unlocks its grasp.” Tears stood in the eyes of both (hose rustic lovers ; and when the pious and affectionate girl had finish ed speaking, she was folded to as manly and true a bosom as ever was light- dby the flame of love. Im printing “a pure kiss, sweet and long,” upon her cheek, William a ro-o from his s at. •' Sally.” said he, “ I never doubted your truth, but I have observed Squire Wildling since lie came up here last spring, lias put himself of ten in your way, anil -oenis to admire vqu very much.

Don’t mention his* name to me any more.” " Well, Sally, I’m very willing to oblige you in that, as in every thing you ask ; for I always find you have good reason for what you say, and i don’t think much of his principles tnvsclf.” » Bnciples ! he has no principles.— But come, William, it's time tor rrc to be at home ; I’ll meet you here to morrow evening, as 1 told you." " I’ll Walk with you as far as tho lane,” replied he; and entering tho footpath through the woods, they ' wore soon lost to sight. Not many minutes elapsed after j these rustic lovers disappeared lie | fore a person emerged from a leafy J and shaded recess among th - trees, | where he had been secreted during ■ 'he for ‘going conversation, into tho I often moonlight (for the moon had r'son, and wa now sh dding a silver lustre over the beautiful scene) his countenance inflamed, and Ins lip trembling with anger. "So, so,-Mr. William,” muttered bo, “ you don’t think much of the -quire’s principle-, it seems, but I’ll make you think something of the S.juire’s power before I'm done with you: and you, too, Miss Malapert, you would pr. fer Jack Rattlin by all odds, would you ?
