This sympathetic movement of the planets, like the mechanical impulse given by our words to the air, is everduring. The astronomer, from the present motion of the comet, learns all its former path, traces it back on its long round of many years, MOTION OMNIPRESENT IN SPACE. 49 shows you when and where it was disturbed in its course by phan- ets, and points to you the altered movement which it assumed from the interference of bodies unknown by any other means to human science. He needs only a mo...re sabtle analysis, and a wider grasp of mind, to do for the planets and the stars what he has done for the comef".. ^ay, it were a task easily done by a spirit less than infinite to read in the present motion of any one star the past mo- ti'''T>s of every star in the universe, and thus of every planet that wheels round those stars, and of every moving thing upon those planets. Thus considered, how strange a record does the star-gemmed vesture of the night present ! There, in the seemingly fixed order of those blazing sapphires, is a living dance, in whose mazy track is written the record of all the motions that ever men or nature made.
