Theories of Auroras.

The Polar Light is light which is
frequently seen near the horizon, bear
ing some resemblance to the morning
twilight, whence it has received the
name Of aurora. In the northern hem
isphere it is usually termed aurora bo-
realis," because it is chiefly seen in the
north. A similar phenomenon is also
seen in the southern hemisphere, where
it is called Aurora Australis." Each
of them may with greater propriety, be
called Aurora Polaris," or Polar Light.
They exhibit an endless variety of APP
pearances. In the United States an
aurora is uniformly preceded by a hazy
or slaty appearance of the sky, particu-
larry in the neighborhood of the north
ern horizon. When the auroral display
commences, this hazy portion of the sky
assumes the form Of dark bank or seq
ment of circle in the north, rising or.
dinarily to the height of from five to ten
degrees, this dark segment is not cloud,
for the stars are seen through it as thro'
= smoky atmosphere, with little diminu.
ton of brilliancy. This dark bank Is
simply dense haze, and it appears
darker from the contrast with the lu.
minous arc which rests upon it. In high
northern latitudes, when the aurora COW
ers the entire heavens, the whole sky
seems filled with dense haze; and il
still higher latitudes, where the aurora
is sometimes seen In the south, thi:
dark segment Is observed resting on th.

AN INGENIOUS DEFENSE.

Mr.. Sergeant Vaughan, as barrister,
occasionally performed some generous
IRctions. Several years ago, while on
Alis way to the Chelmsford assizes, he
went with al intelligent fellow traveller
on the coach. The Sergeant, who was
on such occasions very fond of what he
used to call Il little agreeable chat with
any laxative person he chanced. to
meet, soon. drew his travelling compan-
ion into, IA lively conversation with him.
Having always had sparkling of
yankee curiosity, he generally con-
tivet to worm out, 10y process impcr-
ceptible to the party himself, what he
wished to learn regarding him. On the
occasion alluded to, Mr.. Vaughan was
NOT long in ascertaining from his COM
panion that he was also going to Chelms
ford assiZes, which were to be held on
the following day. LAS u juryman no

The love Of the Beautiful.

Place q young girl under the care OF
kind-hearted, graceful woman, and
she, unconsciously to herself, grows in
to II graceful lady. Place a boy in the
establishment Of straightforward

actions, always impress them. AS you
influence them, hot by arbitrary rules,
nor stern example alone, but in a thou
sand other ways that speak through
beautiful forms, pretty pictures, so they
will grow. Teach your children, then,
to love the beautiful Give them a cor
ner in the garden for flowers, encourage
them to pat it in the shape Of hanging
baskets, allow them to have their IA
vorite trees, learn them to wander in
the prettiest woodlets, show them
where they eau best view the sunsets,
rouse them in the morning, not with
the stern time to work. but with the
enthusiastic, see the beautiful sunrise y
Buy for them beautiful pictures, and
encourage them to, decorate their rooms
each in his or her childish way. Give
them All inch and they will take n mile.
Allow them the privilege, and they
