A Very Bad Boy.

Max Adeler mentions a report that
the chief astronomer at the Washington
observatory was dreadfully sold a few
days ago. A wicked boy, whose Sunday
school experience seems only to have
made him nor depraved, caught a fire
fly and stuck it, with the aid of some
mucilage, in the center of the largest
lens in the telescope. That night, when
the astronomer went to work, he per-
ceived a blaze Of light apparently in the
heavens, and, what amazed him more
was, that it would give a couple Of
spurts and then die out, only to burst
forth again in a second or two. He ex-
amined it carefully for a few moments,
and then he began to do sums to dis
ove where. in the heavens that extra
ordinary star was placed. He thought
he found the locality, and the next
morning he telegraphed all over the
universe that he had discovered a new
and remarkable star of the third magni-
tude in Orion. In a day or two all the
astronomers III Europe and America
were studying Orion, and they gazed at
it for hours until they were mad, and
then they began to telegraph to the
man in Washington to know what he.
meant. The ~discoverer took another
look, and found that the new star had
moved about eighteen billions miles In
twenty-four hours, and upon examining it
closely he was alarmed to perceive that
it had legs. When he went on the
dome next morning to polish up his
glass he found the lightning bug. Peo-
pie down at Alexandria, seven miles
distant, heard part of the swearing, and
they say he infused into it much whole
souled sincerity and vigorous energy.
The bills for t~eIegraphic dispatches
amounted to 80, 900, and now the as
tronomer wants to find that boy. He
wishes to consult with him about some
thing.

Want of Vitality.

If n deficiency of vital energy Is not a disease In
itself It is a condition which lays the system open
to the attacks of all conceivable maladles. Night
and day we are surrounded more or less by delete
rious influences. No atmosphere is entirely pure,
no water utterly free from injurious particles +;
while in many localities both are positively un.
wholesome. What defence has the weak, languid
system, in which the vital principle is deficient or
dormant, against any of the morbid influences
which produce epidemic and other diseases? None
whatever. There Is no safety save in artificial re-
enforcement. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have,
beyond ali question, a vitalizIng effect. If the ner.
vous forces of the body have been recklessly ex-
pended in exhaustIng physical or mental labor, or
dissipated In the Indulgence of a fast " life. this
powerful vegetable tonic and corrective will re
store them. If the defective vitality ls,a. ~oonstitu-
tlonal evil. itcan be remedied to a great extent bv

year when the air is more or less impregpated with
the seeds OF periodic feveTs, 1t Is especially dpsira-
of body regular, the liver active, the blood pure
aud the nerves firm. These conditions are the
best protection against all disorders, and they are
conditlohs which the BitterS are better adapted

counterfeit is substituted for the genuine article

cided taste for the beautiful Well
may Mr.. Gould say, These highly-de-
corated halls of assembly must be re-
garded as the most wonderful instances
of birds architecture yet discovered;
and the: taste, we see, Of the several
species certainly differs" You couh
not have distincter evidence in a lady's
salon carefully decorated with flowers,
either of her taste for the beautiful, or
of the deliberate subordinatiOn Of that
taste to social purposes, than we have
here of the same qualities in birds. Mr..
Leibh Adams in his paper hardly re
fcrs, as we have already observed, to
this remarkable class of facts at all,
only pointing out that the obvious pre-
ference for gayly-colOred plumago Q n
the part of the females clearly implies
a genuine taste for the beautiful IN
birds. which is, of course, true, but IS
not nearly as, good evidence of a dis
tinct intellectual development of this
point. as the ela55fate decoration of
their bowers by birds for festive pur-
poses. The mere preference of gay
colors may be unconscious and purely
instructive, but when a bird looks out
for bleached land shells and tall grasses
TO ornament its reception-room, and
fetohes round stones to " fix THE grasses
in their proper place, and then uses the
hall thus provided only for festive So
cial purposes, you can hardly deny such
birds either the powers or the tastes of
landscape gardeners and ball givers.
And we fancy this kind OF deliberate
taste for the beautiful, and the beauti-
full in subordination to social purposes,
is confined among the lower animals to
birds and, at regards the social pur-
pose, to n very few order of birds. A
great many birds seem to have more MP
probation of beauty of color than
almost any other class of animals. but
only in a few species has it risen to the
point of really decorative social art.
We may gather from this that in the
bird the perception of harmony is of a
very high kind, and this evidently APP
plies to sound as we'll as color. No
creatures utter sounds SO full Of beauty, |
or display such wonderful qualifications
for initiating the beautiful sounds they
hear. Must we not say, then, that the
bird has, in more force than any other
of the lower animals, the per
of harmony in forms, coIors,
and sounds, and the further conscious
ness of the fascination such harmony
has for its own species, and the en-
hancement it lends to social enjoyment.
