Wonderful Birds.

On* of the greatest wooden innaiunU history is the flight of birds. We have been all our lives so accustomed to eee birds that we are not now prone to marvel at the* wonders arrangements by which they are enabled to retest themselves in the air end urone! themselves through it aad we must remember how utterly fetite all man’s attempts to fly ot make flying-marhiTww have proved, aad then we are ia a condition to appreciate the marvel which is daily before our eyes. The ftfaflte him is endowed with magnificent pow era of flight His w ings stretch to an expanse of about ten or twelve feet; hie body ia about three feet long; hie bill ia very powerful, and adapted for seizing. Hi* feet are webbed, but very small; he has but little use for them, his home being in the air, hundreds of leagues away from land. He is seen soaring high above the ocean, but on its bosom he never rests. When he seek* repose he finds it aloft in the air. TTia foot rarely touches land except at the time for pairing, making nests, and rearing young. How is all this? The expanse of his wing is so vast, and his body is so liaht. that he can war with little or no exertion. Still it is difficult to see how this would enable him actually to sleep on the wing, as it is believed he does. A more close examination shows, however, that his bones are hollow, and that there is a* large pouch communicating with his lungs ana with the cavities in the bones. This pouch he can inflate with air, and thus render himself buoyant: the sustaining power thus acquired, added to that of the wings, is sufficient to keep him up. If his home be in the air, if he neither dive into the sea for fish, nor search on the land for other food,'whence does he derive his sustenance ? Impelled by hanger, he descends from the lofty regions where it is his delight to dwell. Whether the sea be rough or calm, he Cdes over the water, and any unwary hi approaching the surface, on being detected by his keen eye, is pounced upon and instantaneously swallowed. But the frigate-bird has other resources : though he cannot dive into the sea or catch fish, he avails himself of the labors of birds which can. He watches one of the birds which dive; he sees him emerge successfully, and fly off with his prey. Instantly the frigate-bird is down upon him with a swoop of terrible velocity. The ’ frightened diver drops his flsn in mid-air; the frigate-bird poises himself again, darts down with another swoop, ana seizes the fish ere it reaches the water.

A Word to Students.

From HUI'S Manual of Social and Bualnea® Forma. It should be the aim of the student to be punctual in attendance at school, to be thorough in study, and good in the recitation. The boy or girl who would bo successful in after life must lay the foundation of success in youth. They should folly understand the importance of improving their schooldays for this purpose. -- The student that seeks every opportunity to idle away his time m making sport for himself and fellow-studenta will live to regret that he thus wasted his time. The happy, sportive/joyous, laughing boy or girl shed happiness wherever they go, if they are careful to control their gayety, and allow its flow only in the proper place; but they should never pernut the love of the mirthful to infringe on the rules of the school-room or the laift of etiquette. On the contrary, true courtesy should teach them to use every endeavor to aid the teacher in his work, as in so doing they, themselves will reap the benefit The boy or girl at school foretell the future man or woman. Those who are prompt, punctual and orderly, will be so in after life. Those who are truthful, reliable, and honest in childhood, will be trusted in position and place in after years; and those who store the mind In youth .with valuable knowledge will possess that which can never be lost, but on the contrary will always be a means by which they may procure a livelihood; and, if united with energy and perseverance, will be sure to give them reputation, eminence of position, and wealth. The boy should never take a pride in disobedience to the rules of the school.

To be a truant, to be indolent, to be working mischief, evinces no talent; any rowdy could do this; most worthless men did this when they attended school. It requires effort to be a good scholar; it evinces brainpower to oea good student. The youth should earnestly resolve to achieve an honorable and noble position in life. With the wide opportunities which open to the ambitious and the enterprising iu this age of progress aion, there is no limit to the greatness which the thoroughly earnest student may attain. The idle and the dissolute will naturally, of their own weight, drop out by the Wayside qnd sink from sight. The plodder who is content with the dull, daily round in the same narrow rut will get the reward of his labor, though he never betters his condition. But the earnest, original, aspiring, energetic, intelligent worker, can always be sure of new fields to enter, nobler victories to gain, and grander work to accomplish.

Tradition of the Puebloes.

The Pueblo Indians, who largely people New Mexico, and who by many are regarded as a remnant of the Aztec race, possess numerous traditions which they nave handed down through the succession of many generations, and which they to-day believe as firmly as did their ancestors of the far-off past Whether the Montezuma whom they adore, anxiously look for and worship, is the same as the one who appears in the history of Old Mexico is strongly doubted by wellread Americans, who have given much attention to the subject The Puebloes claim that their Montezuma was born through the immaculate conception of an Indian maiden of their own tribe in the village of -Pecos, about thirty-five miles distant from Santa Fe. While a youth he did not exhibit any extraordinary qualities, but upon reaching manhood’s estate, showed himself to be a great hunter and possessed of supernatural powers. After dwelling with the tribe for a long period, and performing many miraculous deeds, he departed, going southward. On the eve of his journey he is reported to have lighted a sacred fire which be told his people to keep burning until his return. Although this was long centuries ago, It is said that the Indians have scrupulously obeyed the injunction, and have never allowed the fire to die out They have continuously through successive generations kept the slumbering embers aglow. At least this is their story, and it is largely believed, especially by those who have seen the fire glimmering in their old adobe temple. In 1837 the Pueblo, or town of Pecos, was sold. It was on a Spanish grant, and at that period the Indiana removed the sacred fire with great care to Taos, where it is still burning and viewed with reverential awe. Some of the Indians of the present day have so much confidence in the return of Montezuma that they get out on their house-tops every morning with the rise of the sun and look anxiously into the far distance for his coming. Eventbough many of the Pueblo Indians have outwardly embraced the Christian religion, yet they retain their faith in Montezuma, whom they regard as their saviour or sovereign. They are a docile and industrious people, who live a pastoral life. As communities, they are far more prosperous and live far better than the majority of natives. Their puebloee, or villages, are distributed at different points through the territory, and some of their number may, almost daily, be seen in the towns bartering farm products to store-keepers for various articles kept on sale. The more we do, the more wo can do: the busier we are, the more leisure we have.

President Madison and Wife.

M*dte»fegd sodaTability, wlnnth of and nets, tractable to Ls “pe™"- but he made no impression on the public. A portrait of Mrs. Madison reveal* the secret of her strength. Shewasbige, with brilliant eyes, with * trace ofab* chief in them; her arms ar* bare and show full health; there is an Oriental turn to her nose, which otherwise is rather vulgar; she wears a lac* turban, and her hair *U* ia ringiata around bar forehead. She was a native of North Carolina and waa brought up a strict Quaker in Philadelphia She was christened plain Dolly Payne. While quite youta she married Mr. Todd, a Philadelphia lawyer. He kept her rather out of society, but she was known before his death to be strikingly handsome. He died while she was almost a girl, leaving her with on* sen; her father was ataft dead, and itis tha tradition that she and her mother kept a boardinghouse in Philadelphia, to which cam* several membera ol Congress seeking baud. Madison was one of the richart. His disposition was too cold for matrimony, ana he married no doubt, because the Widow Todd supremely fascinated him. He was at the time 43 yean old. Our constitution had then been in existence about five yean, and Madison was regarded as one of the most usefal men under it At the time he married, Madison already had on* of the most distinguished reputations in the country. She stepped at once out of a plain Quaker family into the control of a great Virginia mansion. When the capital was removed to Washington city, which was a mere wilderness filled with brambles and alders, Mrs. Madison at once demonstrated her capacity to take hold of society and give it form. . Her husband went regularly to his office, and took very little interest in society doings, but he gave her the ftiHprt freedom.

Greek Fire.

“Greek fire”—or, as it sometimes called “Saracen fire”—was the most important war material men had before the invention of gunpowder. Twice tho city of Constantinople was saved by the use. of it It is said to have been invented by a Syrian, who, deserting from the service of the caliph, revealed his secret to the emperor. The ingredients, if not also the mode of darting the fire, were kept a secret for upwards of 400 years, and it is quite uncertain now what were actually the component parts of that which, Joinville says, ‘ f came flying through the air like a winged, longtailed dragon, about the thickness of a hogshead, with the report of thunder and the velocity of lightning; and the darkness of the night was dispelled by this deadly illumination.” It is generally considered, however, that “the Are” was composed of naptha, mingled in certain proportions, now unknown, with sulphur, ana with pitch obtained from evergreen fir.. This mixture, ignited and blown or pumped through long tubes of copper, which were mounted in the prows of galleys, and fancifully shaped into *tho form* of monsters, produced a thick smoke with a loud explosion, and a flemo. fierce and obstinate, which no amount of water could extinguish. When used for the defense of walls, it was poured in large boilers from the ramparts, or was hurled on javelins by means of tow which had previously been steeped in inflammable material. Against it tho bravest soldiers went in vain; their imagination recoiled from a thing so subtle and terrible. Horses fled from it in dire fright; ships were burnt by it; there was no way of standing against it. The Greek emperors, sensible of the enormous advantage which an offensive weapon of such a kind gave them, invested it with a mysterious history, and appealed to the superstition of their subjects for the preservation of the secret of th* manufacture. They said ths', an angel had revealed the composition of Greek fire to the first Constantino, for the express purpose of maintaining the superiority of the empire over the Barbarians and that whoever betrayed the secret to foreigners would incur not only the penalty of treason and sacrilege, but the special vengeance of the Almighty. In the twelfth century, however, we find it used'by the Mahometans in their wars with the Christians; and from that time it came into pretty general use, until the invention of gunpowder put it out of date, and caused an entire revolution in the art of war.

The Sphere of Woman.

As republican institutions continue to gain ground, women appear more conspicuous in the remodeling influences of civilization. - e She whoee presence in this briery world is as a lily among thorns, whoee smile is pleasant, like the light of morning, and whoee eye is the gate of heaven; she whom Nature so reveres that the lovely value of her spirit is the best terrestrial emblem of beauty, ceases to command armies or sit upon imperial thrones. But the world bows in homage to her sceptre of forbearance and love. The progress of liberty owes much to her self-sacrifice and devotion. It has also redeemed her into the possession of her nataze. has made her not man’s slave, but his companion, his counselor and fellow martyr; has rffted her to domestic equality, and demands for her the same privileges in political affairs. Although -many of the avenues of public life are closed against her, she is demonstrating her worthiness to fill a wider sphere of usefulness than she has ever occupied. Truth in its purity finds no more honest or industrious interpreter. —Bancroft.

The Labor of an Editor.

The London Timet, speaking of editors’ lador says it can only be appreciated by those who have had the fortune to have some experience in it The merest slip of the pen, an epithet too much, a wrong date, a name misspelt, or with a wrong initial before it, the misinterpretation or some passage, perhaps incapable of interpretation, the most trifling offense to the personal or national susceptibility of those who do not even profess to care for the feelings of others, may prove not only disagreeable, but costly mistakes; but they are about the least of the mistakes to which the editor is liable. The editor must be on the spot until the paper is sent to the press, and make decisions on which not only the approval of the public, but even great causes, may hang. He cannot husband his strength with comparative repose in the solitude of a study, or the freshness of green fields. Ho must see the world, converse with its foremost or busiest actors, be open for information, and .on guard against error. All this should be borne in mind by those who complain that journalism is not infallibly accurate, just and agreeable. The sponge divers along the Florida coast have begun to adopt an innovation that may work a great change in their business. This is the artificial propagation of sponges. It haa been round that this can be done by cutting the live sponge into small pieces, attaching them to small pieces of rode, and sinking them to proper depths in suitable locations. In three years each piece will attain a merfrataW* si a**.

The disease is known by dullness of the *ye>. husky cough, shivering, loss of appetite and spirits, and fils. When fi* occur, th* dog will most likely die. unless veterinary suigeou is called in. Daring the distemper, dogs should be allowed to run on th* grass; their di*t should be spare; and a little sulphur be placed in their water. Chemists who dispense cattie <riedirinew can generally advise with sufficient safety upon the diseases of dogs, and it is best for unskilful peraous to abstain from physicking them. Hydrophobia ia the moat dreadftil of all diseases. I%* first symptoms ars attended by thirst, fever, and languor. The dog starts convulsively in his sleep, and when awake, though restless, is languid. Whenadog is suspected, he should be firmly chained in a place here neither children nor dogs or cats can get near him. Any <me going to attend him should wear thick leather stoves, and proceed with great caution. When a dog snaps savagely at an Imaginary object, it is almost a certain indication of madness; and when it exhibts a terror of fluids, it is confirmed hydrophobia. Some dogs exhibit a great dislike of musical sounds, and when this is the case they ar* too frequently made sport of. But is a dangerous sport, as dogs have sometimes been made mad by ft In many diseases dogs will be benefited by warm baths. The mange is a contagious disease, which is difficult to get nd of when once contracted. The way is to apply to a veterinay chemist for an ointment, and to keep applying it for some time after the disease has disappeared, or It will break out again.

Bkauty or Pxbson.—Beauty of person may at first engage admiration, in as far as it indicates beauty of soul: but can never insure the continuance of that admiration which its blase has attracted. But beauty of soul can supply every deficiency, and can act independently of every other aid. But when beauty of mina and beauty of person are united, when the accents of kindness and persuasion proceed from those lips which rival the vermillion bloom; when the rays of benevolence lighten the aspect which shines also with the beams of beauty, when the tear of compassion glistens iu those eyes which sparkle at the same time with the diamond’s lustre; when acts of condescension and humanity employ those hands which emulate “the softness of the dove’s down, and and the hue of the winter’s snow;” when a soul so beauteous is invested in a form so passing fair, every eye must admire, every mind must esteem, every heart must love. Were the cares of females steadily applied to the acquisition of these excellencies combined, how resistless would be their sway! How pure and exalted the emotions which they would inspire I

A Cbukl Hoax.—Last evening, just before sundown, a gentleman who was sitting by his window on North B street, casually remarked: “There goes the woman that George Brown’s dead gone on.” His wife, who was in a back room getting supper ready, dropped a plate on the floor, stumbled over the baby, and ran like a quarter-horse to the window with: “Where? where? tell me quick I” ' “The one with the long cloak—just at the corner. Then the woman at the w indow said in tones of deep disgust: “Why, that’s Brown’s wife.” “Yes, exactly,” remarked the brutal husband, quietly. Then the disappointed woman went back and got the supper ready, but her usually sweet disposition was soured for he entire evening. “Our boy /Swipes,” says a California paper, “is a regular attendant st Sunday school. Last Sunday his teacher was explaining a chapter to the class, in the book of Kings. After delivering herself of what she thought to be a very entertaining discourse, she asked the class, ’What is a King? This was a poser to the class. Finally our boy, Swipes, who is the pride of the Sunday school, held up his hand. This made the teacher smile benignly, for she was proud to see him so ready with au answer, so she said: ‘Well, Swipes, what is a king? ‘Well, miss, you see, when you get in the king row andjmt a checker on him, why then he’s a king, and when somebody leads jack and another fellow plays a queen in pedro, you can make his eyes bung out by taking ’em both with a king.’ ”

Intelligent and thoughtful parents and teacEers can do very much to form and stimulate the growth of purpose in the minds and hearts of the children who look to them for guidance. The larvae of the worker and of the queenbee are identical in kind. The food given makes all the difference. When the queen-bee dies, the larvae of a worker is selected arid so fed and boused that it developes into a queen-bee. Sad to say, no feeding of a drone will mako anything but a drone, and when frosts come he is ignominiously destroyed. It is not wise to spend moral force in making resolutions. It is wise, however, when the ship is drifting out of its course to put strong hands to the rudder and with the eyes on the compass to hold to a certain course and steer for a certain port

I had rather believe all the fables in the legend, and the Talmud, and the Alcoran, than that this universal frame is without a mind; therefore God never wrought miracles to convince atheism, because bis ordinary works convince. It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man’s mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men’s minds about to religion; for while the mind of man looketh upon second causes scattered, it may sometimes rest in them, and go no farther; but when itbeholdeth the chain of them confederate, and linked together, it- must needs fly to providence and Deity. Modern Female Dress.—This is how Mary Kyle Dallas, the authoress, says it feels: “Take A man and pin three or four large tablecloths about him, fastened back with elastic and looped up With ribbons; drag all his own hair to the middle of his head and tie it tight, and hairpin on about five pounds of other hair and a big bow of ribbon. Keep the front locks on pins all night and let them tickle his eyes all day; pinch his waist into a corset: give him gloves a size too little ; shoes ditto, ana a hat that will not stay on without a torturing elastic, and a frill to tickle his chin, and a little lace veil to blind his eves when he goes oat to walk, and he will know what woman*! drees is.” "

That every man should regulate Ids actions by his own conscience, without any regard to the opinions of the rest of the world, is one oi the precepts of moral prudence; justified not only by the suffrage of reason, which declares that none of the gifts of heaven are to be useless, but by the voice likewise of experience, which will soon inform us that, if we make the praise or blame of otben the rule of our conduct, we shall be distracted by a boundless variety ot irreconcilable judgments, be held in perpetual suspense between contrary impulses, zmd consult forever without determineWhen a friend corrects a serious fault in does you the greatest act of

The Historical Fertrese of Janians.

obtained from the Porte a confirmation of hia conquest. The readers of “ChUde HaroM- will remember the portrait which Byron sketched of thia remarkable mm when he visited him at his btrthplaceof Tepekn. His enurprisins career began while he was yet a boy, and after making himself master of Epirus, and other portions of Acarnania and .E toll a. he annexed the Pshealik of Bkodra and reduced the towns slang the Quit of Arts, one of hia moot daring exploits befog the storming of Prevesa. Though at one tune in league with them* he subsequently gained much credit from the Porte by breaking the. power of the Klephta, the robber clans of Whom we ahaU probably hear again before ths Giasco-Turkish boundary la finally Mfr tied. Had the Turkish' authorities ventured to avail themselves freely of the extraordinary influence which their formidable vassal had acquired, they might have succeeded in crushing the Greek revolution, but the fall or All Paaha proved the opportunity for which the Greek patriots were watching. As Janina was the scene of the Pasha’s early triumphs, so was it of Ms death. When his ••lawless law” had become embarrassing to the Sultan, he was attacked by the Ottoman troops; and having been shut out ot the fortress by hia own, followers, he retired to the little island on the lake which lies at the foot of Metyikeli. And here his wild career was terminated by assassination in his eightyaeoood year. In its palmy days the Pasha's capital boasted a population ot 50,000. If the Greeks make their acquisition Europe will look to them to fulfil the boasts of which they are so prod leal, and restore somewhat of its lost prosperity.— London 3.

“Ye Have Done it Unto Me.”

Many years ago there lived in Germany a good man by the name of John Falk. It made him sad to see the many poor children who bad no home and no friends, and he did what he could to help them. By and by he had a house full of poor boys whom he had picked up in the streets. They were very wretched, and some oi them very wild and rough; but he treated them all with kindness, and won their hearts by love.

He tried to teach them to be loving, truthful, and kind, and to help all who were in distress. His manner of teaching was sometimes very singular, but he taught in a way the boys were not likely to forget. Every time they eat they said. “Come, Lord Jesus, be our guest, and bless what thou hast provided.” One evening at supper-time one of the boys said: “Do tell me win the Lord Jesus never comes. We ask nun every day to sit with us, and he never comes.” The good teacher replied. “Dear child, only believe, and you may be sure he will come, for he does not despise our invitation.” “I shall set him a seat then," said the little fellow, “so that when he comes he may have a place.” He had hardly put a chair by the table before there was a knock at the door. On opening it there stood a poor, for-lorn-looking man half frozen with the cold, and begging for a night's lodging. He was told to come in, and was made welcome. He took the empty seat, was warmed and fed, and a good bed was made for him. The boy who had asked Mr. Falk the strange question now went to him and said; “Ab!£|l see how it is. The Lord Jesus could not come, and so he sent this man to take his place. Is that it F* • Yes, dear child,” was the answer. “That is just it. Every piece of bread and every drink ot water that we give to the poor, or the sick, or the prison!:r*. for Jesus' sake, we give to him; br he has said, 'lnasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me? ” Let our young readers remember this, and for Jesus’sake do all the good they can. v

A Travelling Crocodile.

Some six weeks ago a lively young crocodile contrived one night to effect its escape from Josephs Choikowa’s travel ling menagerie, then exhibiting at Kuachwarda, and all the efforts made to discover its hiding-place in the neighboring brooks and ponds proving fruitless, the proprietress, after three days search, gave it up as irretrievably lost, and departed on her further professional rounds. A month later the smith of Sa’nau, a village not far- from Kuschwarda, was strolling home toward evening through the rain, when he suddenly espied, lying in a huge puddle on the high road, what hefat first took to be a drunken man, prostrate and helpless. Upon wading into the mud, with the chantable intention of extricating the recumbent one from so miry a bed, he perceived to his astonishment that the object of his solicitude was the missing crocodile. Nothing daunted, he fastened a rope round the saurian's scaly body behind its shoulders, and led it along until he met a cartjnto which the assistance of the driver, he managed to lift it. The crocodile made no resistance, but followed its captor as meekly as though it had been a tame dog, tied to a string. On subsequent exammation it was found to have increased in size and weight during its spell of liberty, and to be, for a crocodile, in excellent health and spirits. What it had fed upon while roaming about the country, and how it had kept out the cold during the chilly nights of May and June, are still mys tones to its owner, who has joyftilly recovered possession of her truant.— London. Telegraph.

A Legend About the Rainbow.

Hie Lithuanians have a quaint legend respecting the rainbow. When their chief god, Pramzimas was looking out of the window and beheld the whole earth full of war and wickedness, he dispatched two giants, named Wandu and Wejas (Water and Wind), to the sinful world, who destroyed everything for twenty days and twenty nights. While engaged in eating heavenly nuts. Pram, zimas gazed on the scene of desolation below, and he threw down a nutshell which fell on the summit of the highest mountain, where a few men and women and some animals had fled for refuge. All got into the nutshell, which floated on the now universal, flood. The god then looked on the earth for the third time. He allayed the tempest and bade the waters subside. The human beings who had been saved all disappeared excepting a few couples who remained in that part, and became the ancestors of Lithuanians in the following manner: As old age crept upon them they sorrowed greatly at their probable extinction; ao in order to comfort them Pramzimas sent the rainbow, and advised them to leap over the bones of the earth. Nine times did they perform thb feat, and thence sprang nine couples, male and females, from whom the nine Lithuanian tribes are descended. Politeness to ladies is. justly considered one of our national attributes but while the native citizen keeps up to the standard of galantry, the imported article is apt to work defectively.

Dangerous Companions.

SiJT iTthe ana uneves who are dangerous com panions to the green boys Justin from the country. Oh, dear.no! It is your respectable young men that have learned to sip discreetly In all sorts of forbidden fountains, and nibble here and there carefully of the forbidden fruit They are held as a pattern. They drink, but are never drunk. They have exactly the knack of seeing end knowing all that is to be known in the ways of wickedness, and yet keeping every step with the righteous. Some of them are church members and Sunday school teachers; some are regular shrewd business men. They are never going to hurt themselves, they tell you, but tihey believe in a certain freedom. They never could see the sense of temperance pledgee. For their part they don’t need them, and if there Is anything they abominate it is your radical, straight-laced people, who keep always in the dusty turnpike for fear of the precipice. - ■ —— ♦ ■ » If a man have love in his he>rt, he may talk in broken language, but it will be eloquence to those who listen.

"They cannot all lie,” was the observation o on* while reading the endless testimonials to Dr. Lindsey’s Blood Searcher. It is infallible.
