A wicked boy caught fire Fly one
day and stuck it with mucilage on
the centre of the largest lens Of the
OF the telescope in the Washington
Observatory. The astronomer per.
ceived blaze of light, which died
out at intervals, and thinking he
had discovered most extraordinary
star, he pronounced in ''of the third
magnitude of Orion" He tele-
graphed, at an expense of $2.5OO,
all over the world, and the astrono-
mers gazed at Orion until they were
wild and then telegraphed back to
the Professor for further inform alton.
In the mean time the discoverer
found his star had moved Is billions
of miles in "a hours and perceived it
actually had legs But on polish
ing his lens he found the lightning
bug then he swore terribly
worse than tour army in Flan-
ders"--in fact they heard him
swear away down in Alexandra
seven miles away. Since then he
has been looking for that boy; he
wishes to consult him about some
thing.

Rules for the care>of Canary Birds.

l. During the summer season you
should have both drinking cup and
a bathing dish in the cage, and should
wash them well twice day, and fill
with fresh water The seed cup
should be thoroughly filed every
morning.
2. The room in which the bird is
kept should never be warmer than
9Oo.
3. Feed plain food. Now and
then a lump of sugar does no harm,
but as general rule avoid sweets.
Keep the cutie fish dry and clean,
and feed only fresh and dry seed.
4. Never place a cage where a
draught can strike the bird.
5. Never smoke in room where
your bird is kept, as the odor of ci.
gar is fatal to canaries.
6. AS general rule never keep
the bird in painted cage; for the
birds will peck at the wires, and it
will lead to disease.
Z. When your bird Is shedding
feathers, which is generally styled
moulting be careful to avoid draughts
of air.
BY obeying these simple rules you
can keep birds in excellent health
for years.

astonishingly calmed when 1 return,
ed to my place by the captain. But
the Time passed and had fallen into
kind of half stupor, when L saw a
group of French officers approach -
Before | had time to speak to them,
their chief, little man, dressed
in a fur peliSse, stepped forward
toward me, ,and said:
What are you doing here? Why
are you away from your regiment p
'For two good reasons said l,
pointing first to the captain, and then
to my bleeding arm.
'The man says true, sire,' said one
of those who followed him. | saw
him marching in he rear of his regi-
ment,, and carrying this officer on his
back
'The Emperor-for, my friends, it
was he-ga"e me one OF those glan-
ces that only he or the eagle of the
Alps could give, and said:
st is well. You have done very
we'll"
Then he opened the pelisse, and
toos the cross which decorated his
green coat and gave it to me. AT
the instant l was no longer hungry,
no longer cold. l felt no more pain
from my arm than if that awkward
beast had not touched it.
'Davoast,' added the Emperor, ad-
dressing the officer who had spoken
to him, see this man and his cap
tain placed in one of the baggage
wagons. Adieu = and making me a
motion of the hand, he went away.
Here the veteran ceased and re-
sumed his pipe.
But tell US what became of 'Cap.
tain Obstinate,' cried many impa-
tient voices.
'The captain recovered, and is now
general on the retired list. But
the best of the joke was, that as soon
as he got well, he put me under ar
rest for fifteen days as a punishment
for my infraction of discipline.
This circumstance came to the
ears Of Napoleon, and after laughing
heartily he not only caused me. to be
set free, but promoted me to the rank
of sergeant. AS TO the decoration,
my children, here is the ribbon at my
button hole, but the cross wear
next my heart.
And opening his vest, he showed
his eager audience the precious relic
suspended from his neck in a little
satin bag.

THE MOTHER OF GENERAL BIcLER,

A correspondent of the Cincinn att
Times recently met peddler who
told him this interesting story of a
visit he once made to the home of
Mrs. Bigler in Penslyvania:
CAT the time wished the place
the father of the family was dead,
and none of the children were at
home except an only daughter, who
was married to Nh Mitchell, who
worked the farm. 1t was sold, raw
day when l came, and the old lady
was sitting before big fire reading
q newspaper. She was q very fine
looking old woman, rather heavy,
and there was something motherly
and good about her.
"Well Mr.. Peddler," said she, as
l sat down before the fire, "bave you
heard the election returns yet ?"
81 told her l had heard nothing
but the returns from few neigh bor-
ing towns and counties. You know
railroads and telegraphs were not so
numerous then as now"
81 assure you sir" she said, 81
feel little uneasy about our Bill and
our John-Bill is running for Cover
nor of this State, and John is running
for Governor of California.
81 tell you that scene was worthy
of picture-the good old lady read
ing her newspaper by the fire, in her
humble log cabin, and her two SONS
running for Governor of the two
richest States in the Union-aud both
were elected"

SCARED OUT OF A WIFE,

The narrative of which l am about
to write was told me one bleak, cold
night in country parlor. 1t was
one of those nights in mid winter
when the wind swept over the land,
making everything tingle with its
frosty and keen breath, that I was
seated before blazing fire, surround.
ed by half dozen of boys and an
old bachelor, Peter Green, of about
4s years.
1t was just the night without to
make those within enjoy good sto.
ry, so each of US had to tell his fa-
vorite story, except Mr.. Green, and
he was jolly story-teller, we were
somewhat surprised to hear him say ::
81 have no story that would interest
you," so we had to find other enter.
tainments for while, when one of
the boys told US to ask him how it
happened that he never got married.
So we did.
swell, gentlemen" he began, "it
don't seem right for me to tell how
it happened, but as it's about myself,
| don't care much. You see when |
was young we had to walk as high
as five miles to singing school and
church, which was our chief enjoy
ment. But this don't have anything
to do with my not getting a wife, bur
l wanted to show you that we had
some trouble in getting our sports
them days.
John Smith and l were like broth
ers, or like "Mary and her little
lamb" Where one went the other
was sure to go. So we went to see
two sisters, and as we were not the
best boys imaginable, the old gentle.
man took umbrage and wouldn't al.
low US to come near the house, so
we would take the girls to the. end of
the lane, and there we would take
the final kiss.
We soon got tired of that sort of
fun and ! told John on our way to
singing school one night that l
was going home with Sadie, and
that was going into the house, too.
He said the old man would "cane
me" if l did.
told him | was going to risk it
any way, come what would.
He said he would risk it if / would.
So we went home with the girls.
When we got to the end of the
lane l told the girls we proposed GO
ing all the way.
They looked at each other in a way
/ didn't like any too well, but they
said the old folks would be in bed, so
they didn't care if we did. f
"They Were little more surprised
yet when | told them we thought of
going in while, but as all was quiet
when we got to the house, we had
no trouble in getting into the kitch-
en-.
Then and there we had our first
court, and / made up my mind that
] would ask Sadie to be my wife the
next time came.
1t was now past the turn Of night,

mend itself to the public. The paper and ty-
Biography are beautiful, and the size OF tho
volume makes it very couTenient for the reader.
The character of the work is so we'll known to
all intelligent readers that it seems almost
superhuous to write one word about it. And yet
even they may find it worth while to review it.
Prescott has given it I'll the stateliness aud yalGe
Of history, while, at the same time. he has in
vested it with all the charms Of romance. The
facts related Of the early civilization OF the
Mexicans arc exceedingly curious. They had
regular, organized system OF government !;
social institutions, many OF which were based
on the most correct principles OF morality !;
written language, aud history extending back
centuries before the span1ards invaded the
country. They worshiped the Sun, and though
human sacrifices, and even cannibaIism, were
largely practiced among them, their religious
notions we're embraced in system. The rites
Of their religion had gradually been rendering
the people more cruel from the time it took the
place OF a less ennguinary worship.
The history Of Cortez shows him to have been
most remarkable man. True, the world hss no
uEe for such adventuters now; but his exploits
must ever renlain as among the most remarkable
in history. That hn should have been able, with
few followers, to conquer populous and
powerful nation, must ever remain as 3
convincing proof Of his consummato skill
and unpending energy. His success shows this
advantage which discipline and modern weapons
OF warfare will ever have over mere brute force.
