The Evening star.

The loyeliest of stars, Venus, is par
ticularly brilliant and conspicuous in the
western sky. She has always been q fa-
vorite planet with astronomers and poets
alike, whether as the Shepherds Star, as
the Vesper orb of eve, or as bright Luci-
fer, Son of the Morning. At present she
is the evening star, and is passing from
her superior to her inferior conjunction
with the sun, and every evening sets
earlier. She is approaching the grand
solar center, and on the 23i of February
she will reach her inferior conjunction
and turn her darkened side towards us,
reappearing on the western eide of the
sun as a morning star. She is alternately
a morning and evening star for period
OF two hundred and ninety-two days,
although her annual revolution takes
only two hundred and twenty five days,
but as the earth moves in the same direc-
ton, it takes this additional time for the
earth, the sun and Venus to come into the
same position regarding each other. The
approaching transits of Venus lend her
additional interest. The last one occurred
in 1863, and the next occur in 1874 and
1882. These events are anticipated with
profound interestby astronomers, as they
will enable them to verify the distance of
the sun from our planet. This vast
problem is of the greatest consequence,
and there is an admitted error in the
computed distance. All during this month
Venus will be unusually bright and inter-
esting to star-gazers.

It is generally supposed that it is oil
hut impossible to deternine the date OF
Ludwig Won Beethoven's birth, ss his pa
rents had two sons, one baptized on the
9i April, 1859, under the name OF La-
dovicus Maria, and the other on the l7sh
December, ITO, whom they named Lu-
dovicus. A more careful examination
of the register, however, clears up all
doubts on the matter, for It has been
found that the eldest Of these sons, L1-
dovicus Maria, only lived few days, as
he died on the 9Th April, l769.

Her Royal Highness was so blinded by

she heard his voice and accompanied by
