 1he Coa'ct.-Judging by the abund- ant alluslons to this subject, with which the papers abound, the expected yisl- tant is regarded with no strong predi- llctlons. Whether as many persons are frightened by their apticipations of con sequences, as writers represent, we know not; but 1t is a venial act to as- sume this position if itsean so readily be made a source of entertainment to others.

 We take some specimens of treat ment the subject is receiving.

 Comet .atnaaaaes.-A An elderly lady apparently ina state of high mental ex- citement, called few days since and enquired for Almanaes. We exhibit. cd the various kinds we had on hand, and urged their respective merits to her particular notice. This, madam, is sSPorter's health Almanac containing an extra quantity of matter adapted to the preservation of health. This is the sGhurchman's Almanac embrac- ing besides the ordinary monthly calen- dar, regular arrangement of the l Feasts and Fasts observed by the Pro l testant Episcopal Church, together with an accurate list of allzthe Bishops and Glergynen of this persuasion in the United States. Are either of those the kind you wish to get? ssNo, them ant the ones.n Well, here is the good old fashioned kind, made by one of the disciples of Andrew Beers, Philom., which tells all about the eclipscs of the snn and moon, when they rise and set, and also what kind of weather we are going to have. l presume they will suit? S'sfhem ant tho kind yet.n They are all the kinds we have, good woman but our nelghbor Nearing, has the Anti-Masonic Almanac--may be that is the kind you want. ssNo, don't want them cither--Oh, my! my, Fin desperately sorry l can't remember the name-lct me thiAk--now I've got it., Comet almanae--that tells all aboutthat dreadful thing that's going to smash the arth--hay'nt you heard of it?a--Cer- tainly, madam, we have heard of the comet, but what induces you to think 1t will smash the earth, as you say e9-- "Why Nezef Johnson, our master, says so, and he knows all about it, he says its ten chances 10 one if we ant al! burnt up--What dreadful time it will 1 be; he told me that the Comet almanac would tell all about il, and l want to get one Ny good woman, do not be alarmed at the prognostication of your schoolmaster. Astronomers say that there is no danger to be apprehended from the comet, and they probably know as much about it as 'Nezer John son does. As for the Comet Almanacs, there is no such thing; they all speak of the Comet that will appear during the present year-but none of them are crazy enough to predict that the world is coming to an end quite so soon. You must not let it disturb you any more.-- Tell your friend Nezer, from mo, that he never will be hung for witch.- "WeIl, you have taken great load off my mind, and as the comet ant going to burn us all up this year, guess Fl take ono of our Health Almanacs and live a little longer. But, depend ont Nezer must look out for breakers.''
