DIR. Willett, lecturing in Boston re-
Gently, told droll story of himself. He
said that at one time, when he was CON
noisseur in bird-stufiing, he used to criti-
else other peoples bird-stufing severely.
Walking with gentleman one day, he
stopped at a window where a gigantic
owl was exhibited. "You see" said the
doctor to his friend, "that there is mag
nificent bird utterly ruined by unskillful
stuffing. Notice the mounting Execra-
BILE, isn't itY No living owl ever roasted
in that position, And the eyes are fully a
third larger than any owl ever possessed"
AT this moment the stuffed bird raised one
foot and solemnly blinked at his critic,
who said very little more about stuffed
birds that afternoon.

An Explosion on the sun.

Prof. Young of Dartmouth College
observed on the 7th of September, and
has recorded IL the Boston Journal OF
Chemistry, what appears to have been
very sudden and violent explosion on
the surface of the SIM. He was exam
ming an enormous protuberance OF
hydrogen cloud on the suns eastern
limit, which, by his calculation, was
100, coo miles long by "a, 900 high, float
ing at n height of $4,000 miles above
the surface, and sending down to the
sun pillars of its own substance like a
vast banyan grove. Being called away
from the telescope few moments, he
was astonished, on returning, to find
that the whole cloud had been blown
into flying tilam ents, which rose as he
gazel, with a greater rapidity than he
had ever before observed III this sub
stance, TO height of more
than 100000 miles from the solar
surface. Hydrogen in this state has
never been recorded as rising so high.
As these broken filaments streamed up
ward, they melted away like wisps Of
tilmy cloud. Meanwhile little cap or
knob which had been noticed near the
substance of the sun developed into a
pyramid of flame $4,000 miles in
height; there its summit was drawn
out into long tilaments and threads,
which were most curiously rolled back
ward and downward like the volutes Of
an Ionic capital, and finally it faded
away, and at half-past two (the first
change was observed at five minutes to
one) had vanished like the other. A
fine aurora borealis occurred during
the evening which succeeded.

From the Christianburg tVa.) Messenger.
A young man, whose name we could
not learn, wooed and won the affections
Of a Miss Price, daughter of Mr.. Chap
man Price, formerly of this county, but
now a resident of Craig. The parents
of the young lady bitterly opposed her
marrying the youth in question, be-
cause OF his dissipated habits, But
opposition only added to the fame
and confirmed the maiden in her de.
termination to cling to her lover
through thick and thin Last week,
learning that Mr.. Price would be from
home, he procured buggy and went to
his residence to elope with his
daughter to West Virginia, to
be married His afianced was
ready and willing to go with him, but
the mother set her foot firmly down and
vowed that he should not take the girl
from the house, at the same time point
ing to the gun and telling him that if
he attempted to carry her off she would
shoot him. Treating these as the idle
threats of woman, the lovers contin-
ued their preparations for departure.
All things beng ready, they proceeded
to the buggy, the young lady was hand =
ed in, the youth had taken his seat by
her side and was in the act of driving
of, when Mrs. Price cut short the
whole proceeding by shooting the youth
with the gun above mentioned. The
physician pronounces his recovery ex-
remedy doubtful, if not impossible.

our progress and prosperity have been
the wonder of the world. Wealth has.
poured in upon us, and human nature
has not been strong enough to withstand
the severe temptation. Prosperity seems
dearer than freedom, for freedom depends
on morals. We incline to look upon the
Government as means of enriching the
country, or a few individuals, rather
than lending an enrolling influence to
free institutions. We are apt to sink
under the degrading passion for gain,
our moral independence, our self-respect.
and the fair dealing between man and
man, which should characterize us as a
people. We indulge in snowy extrava-
gance, envious strivlngs after place and
power, and throw ourselves. heart and
soul. into the gambling spirit of specu-
lation. More than this: we sometimes
elevate to high places of trust men with
unclean hands and doubtful morality.
We talk openly on the street and cor
ners of corruption, and close our eyes

The public mind, in the contemplation
Of the financial situation, seems to have
neglected the consideration Of one impor-
tant point. That point is section in
the national banking law by which every
stakeholder is responsible at law for
double the amount of bis stock, SO that
the stockholders Of every national bank
in the country are liable for as much
again as the full cash capital Of their
respective institutions. For instance, if
the capital Of bank is one million dol
lars, the stockholders are responsible
for two millions. The knowledge Of
that fact ought to be enough to quiet the
nerves of even the most timid Of deposi.

One by God took darlings-

Took them where pain reach them,-
Where they will shed no tear.
First our darling little Ionic
Crossed the river wide,
And, methinks, was lonely waiting,
On the other side -
Then her little sister Mary,
Who mourned her day by day,
Pluned her little wings for heaven,
And gently passed away.
Oh was it not joyous meeting
Those two who were but one;
Oh was it not joyous chorus
The song those angels sung?

As Mary neared the shore
So glad that she had met her darling,
To part in heaven more.
