Catalogue of Fishes in the British Mu-
SeUm.

A work of great importance to natu-
ralists has just been completed in the
publication of the eighth and last vol
ume of the catalogue of fishes in the
British Museum, prepared by DR.. Gun
ther, one of its assistants. Although
nominallv catalogue of this particular
collection, it is actually a complete sys-
tenn of the fishes, and furnishes by far
the most convenient manual of general
inquiry in this department of science,
although, of course, not superseding the
still larger work of Cuvier and Valen-
ciennes. In summing up the amount of
material at his command during the
preparation of the work, DIR. Gunther
remarks that he has had under his in
spection in the British Museum over
$4,000 specimens, embracing little over
5000 species. Allowing about 1000
species as valid, not at present contained
in the Museum, and admitting the ex-
istence of others described but not
known to him, he estimates the total
number of fishes at present described
as about 5000. In this connection we
may, perhaps, be pardoned for remind
ing our readers that, great as is the col
lection of fishes in the British Museum
(the largest in Europe), it is exceeded
by far by that in the magnificent Mu-
scum of Comparative Zoology, of which
Professor Agassiz is the honored direc-
tor, and of which las well as of its head)
all Americans are so justly proud. The
Thayer Expedition to Brazil alone fur
nished much larger number of speci-
mems of fishes than has just been emu
merated while by actual count less
than one-half the Museum collection OF
fishes already arranged occupies over
$1,000 jars, each containing from one to
hundreds of specimens.-Harper's Mqga

Song.

When the violet blows,
Light the swallow plumes his wings.
Sweet the earliest robin sings;
Something dearer brings the rose.
Fairer forms are nigh,
When the rose is full and bright;
Ever shapes of softest light
Then in glancing fight go by.
From what cline are they?
From the weakened heart they rise.
Bright as hues or orient skies -
Soon the vision flies away.

A Story with a Moral,

A dealer in pork has precocious son
who was expert in cards, and in playing
with his young companions was seldom
on the losing side. He began at first to
bet on the game, and ere long would
play regular for money with any of his
age disposed to accept the risk. He
came home one day, bringing several
dollars which he had acquired in his
small way of gaming, and exhibited his
gains to his father with quite an air of
triumph. The thoughtful parent shook
his head, and told his son that the
money was not honestly acquired. "But
l did not cheat" said the boy. 81 hope
not" said the father; "but did you
give the loser any equivalent whatever
for it ?'' The boy hung his head, and
the parent added Money is honestly
acquired where there is an exchange of
products or services, and the receiver
gives an equivalent for it; but to take
another mans property and give him
no equivalent for it, is to rob or cheat
him.
A few months after, the father came
home from the Produce Exchange with
an elated aspect, and announced that
he had settled his speculative contracts
in pork by the receipt of nearly $780,
OO0 His son eyed him steadily a mo-
ment, and then said: What did you
give the other man, father, as an equiv.
alent for the money pm. Y. Jou77ao

The Corydon Monitor relates the fol-
lowing affecting incident: 1.-TWO days
since, a pair of turtle doves lit on a
dooryard fence in Corydon. One was
seen to take wing toward the house, and
was probably blown against it by the
strong wind, for in a moment it lay
dead on the ground at the corner of the
house, with the bruised breast, but
warm. The other one flew to the spot,
walked around its mate, whose sudden
stiffness it did not understand, called 1t,
and tried with many manifestations OF
affection to gain its attention; For an
hour it persevered, and moved to tears
the household that witnessed the cir
cumstance. Another dove came and
lit not far away, and the two flew away
