Prom the New Haven Herald. 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 E. C. U. 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, H3 = * THE Rev.
