Splendid Meteor.
Yesterday evening, (Monday, 25th inst)
about half past 7 o’clock, a meteoric fireball of
very uncommon splendor was observed b\
many of our citizens. The sky was still so ligh'
that f-w stars were visible, when the meteor ap
peared high up in the Southeastern quarter, ii
rapidly increased in brilliancy, and as it .ailed
slowly down toward the East, threw off a host
of sparks and flakes, of various hues, among
which the most prominent were steel blue and
golden green.
It was now apparently many times larger than
Venus when brightest, and being enveloped in a
blaze of tinted scintillations, it presented a spec
tacle of surpassing magnificence and beauty
It disappeared in a kind of explosive flash, oi
red light, low down toward the Eastern horizon
too remote probably to permit us to hear the re
port.
The following notes relative to the meteoi
will be useful when combined with similar ob
servations made in other places.
1. Position when first seen. Altitude forty
two degrees, bearing Sou'h sixty-two degrees
East, by true meridian. This place is uncertain
perhap- five degrees in both elements.
2. Position at disappearance. Altitude seven
degrees or seven ad a ha'f; hearing North sixty
nine degrees East, by true meridian This
place is probably exact within half a degree in
each element.
3. Time of flight, two and a half to three
seconds. The motion seemed deliberate—sail
ing rather than darting.
4 Apparent magnitude. The glare of the
sparks and the blaze rendered it impossible satis
factorily to observe the nucleus. The diameter
may safely be taken at two minutes ot a degree,
and was probably nearly twice this.
5. No report was heard, and in the circum
stances could not have been noticed, unless it
had been quite heavy.
Persons residing North and East of this (es
pecially in Hartford, Cambridge, Providence
and Nantucket,) who may have made precise
observations on the meteor, are earnestly desired
to give them to the public through the newspa
pers. Such observations were doubtless secured
and if compared they may render it practicable
to ascertain the size, velocity and course of this
little asteroid, ana possibly to indicate the spot
where its fragments found a resting place. j

We have corresponding accounts of the same
meteor from Providence, Boston and New Bed
ford.
Friendship. — Do not fa dieve, because a man
smiles upon you and seeks your society, that
he is your iriend. Smiles and professions,
alas! are so abundant as to be of no value. He
only is your friend whose heart is in his words,
and whose actions illustrate them ; who stands
by you through all vicissitudes of fortune, “in
sunshine and in shade.” When you find such
a being, make him your second self-—cling to
him as to your very life—for the jewels ol the
earth are scarce, and. therefore, precious; for
the sand of life but glitter in the radiance of a
high enjoyment, and even the golden bowl is
broken at thp fountain,
