VENUS at the close of the year 1866 shows beautifully as a mOnlin'g star, in- creasing in splendor until the 17th of January, when the area<of its Illutnin.oted disc is greatest. It rises then about <lh. 23m. mornin'g. On tlte 20th 'of Febru- ary it reaches its greatest departure or elollgatil:m frolll the Stin weRt, trom 4 CHRISTIAN ALMANAC. whence it moves off toward the Sun and superior conjunction, with daily de- creasing li~ht and size, and becomes lost in thi> Sun's l~ght on the 25th of Sep- tember, belllg then furthest from the Eo.rth, and its dioc, if visihle, will be a.per- fect circle. After this date it will soon appeo.r as evening star, low in the west soon after .nnset, and daily appearing further east of the Sun.
