IHE ''PHGNIX. X.'-Frequentin inquiries hav-
ing been made as to the origin of the ira
ditional bird, ''the Phenix," the name of
our paper, we give an explanation of the
cognomen, taken from an authentic source.
The "Phenix,' according to the an
clients, is a bird of which there is but one
specimen in the world. 1t comes fying
from the East once in the course Of six
hundred and ffty-one years, many other
birds with dazzling wings bearing it COM
pany. 1t reaches the City of the Sun about
the time of the vernal equinox, where it
burns itself upon the roof of the temple,
IN the fire of the concentrated rays of the
sun, as they are reflected from the golden
shield thereon with consuming radiance.
No sooner is it consumed to ashes, than an
egg appears in the funeral pyre, which the
heat that consumed the parent warns in
stantly into life, and out Of it the same
Phoenix comes forth in full plumage, and
spreading ;ts wings, it flies away again, to
return no more until the expiration of six
hundred and tifty-one years.
We might give q longer account from the
author from which we CLEAN these facts,
but we think it unnecessary When the
l'hCenar we have now to do with, six hun
dred and f+y-one years hence, lays her
egg, it WI My affect our posterity twenty
from the present time; and as
posterlty never has done anything for US,
we must leave them to take care of that
egg.
