Of earthquake, plague and battle-plain?
Some say that thou dost never fail
To bring some evil in thy tail.

THE COMING OF THE COMET
The Sun will surely rise and set to-morrow.
Just so surely must a Comet flare forth in our Heavens this Spring.
Star gazers, astronomers and learned men have been waiting for this Comet all over the earth—in America, in Europe, in far China.
They have known for certain that this Comet would come; and they knew just when and where in the Heavens the Comet would first show itself to the naked eye—down to the very night.
All this has been known so surely because this same Comet has been seen by the people of this earth before.
