follows. Take as a starting-pOint the we'll
known star Rerulus, of the 18th magnitude,
In the handle o. the sickle of Leo. From that
star az dec. eastward, in line toward Spica,
is Rho Leonis OF the fourth magnitude-easl-
ly picked uD because there are no other stars
near it. At the beginning of March Uranus
will be dec. nearly northwest from Rho; and
at the end of the month little more than 4
der. northwest hy west from the same star,
These two distances are respectively equal to
about 81 and eight times the apparent
breadth OF the full moon.

Nov. 3. at which time his right ascension Will
be . hours S5H mn, and his declinatiOn l3
deg. l6l5 min. north; not near any prominent
star, but very close to an interesting neDula.
He cannot be seen without the aid of good
telescope.
OccultationS-A few of these phenomena
will be of interest during the coming year.
We give the following notes OF prominent
stars, the arpulses to which may be watched
with interest through an opera-glass:
April IL, in the early morning, the moon
being three days past the full, and little east
of the meridian, will pass just south of An
tares
June 3, about ten o'clock, when east OF the
meridian, and near the full, the moon will oc-
cult Antares.
Aug. "A, the moon in the west, and near her
first quarter, will occult Antares about half
past nine in the evening.
Sept. z, at two O'Clock in the morning, the
moon being near her last quarter, VIII pass
through the Pleiades and occult Alcyone near
the time OF her rising.
Nov. 26 about midnight, the moon being
near the full, and one hour vest OF the me-
ridian, will occult Epsilon Arietis.
Dec. 1, at eleven O'Clock in the evening, the
moon being east of the meridian, and little
past the FULL will occult Delta Geminorum.-

Happy Thoughts.

He is a good man indeed who does all
the good he talks of. -.
1t is possible for a man to know his
own mind and yet know very little.
It is perfectly safe to have some men
owe you a grudge, for they never pay
any thing. -,
it does not follow that blacksmith
has no virtues because he is always to
be found at his wise.
1t is a good proverb which says that
every man hath his cricket in his head
and makes it sing as he pleases.
The vain man is, after all, the hap
piest. While the rest of us are trying TO
please others he is perfectly satisfied Il
he only pleases himself. ,,

Mr.. Old Fogy said he thought it look
ed as if we would have a snow-storm.
"Then take the other side. We 90
not teach our boys to be observing, and
then we turn around and call them heed
less. We pass the things of every day
life to let them grasp at the theoretical.
They thus become helpless. They can
name the planets, but they can not give
the length and width of brick. They
can name every ancient philosopher, but
they can't put up the stove-piPe; they
can figure in cube.root, but they can't
tell all-wool cloth from half-cOtton. We
let them 90 to school for years, are
proud to find that they know so much,
and hen discover that they can't tell
why hickory wood will burn longer than
pine, and we hear somebody say OF
them: He has fine education but no
horse-sense. )"
Mr. Old Fogy suggested that it was
getting late.
"NOw, then, some of you tell me OF a
business man who has made his money
through classical education. Tell me
one lawyer who wins by howery speech
es, and I'll name a dozen who win by
arguments which even boys can digest.
Name merchant who buys at random,
as we educate children, and | will name
the day of his failure. Name one who
can tell you how to saw out a boot-Jack,
build an ice-box, putty in a pane of
glass, mix paint or hang a gate, and I'll
show you that he is doing a safe busi-
ness, dictated by observation and com
mon sense. Last year gentleman with
a fine collegiate education opened a
grocer.store on a certain street in this
city, asking no advice as to location,
and making no observations on the
movements of the public. He had got
nicely opened when bOot-black called
in one day and bluntly said:
"Gimme cents worth of peanutsh
"'Peanuts! Boy, | don't keep pea
nut stand!' was the indignant reply
"'You won't keep even peanut stand
here two months from now!' chuckled
the lad as he lounged OUT
In five weeks there was failure, and
the grocer was SO, 900 cash out cf pocket
in seven weeks time. The observing
boy knew that store was too far down
town, because he had watched the
movements of the people who bought at
retail. The grocer had been at Yale
College, and he didn't deem it necessary
to known a lamp-post from salt barrel
in order to establish trade.
The other day a lady who can speak
several languages and who graduated
with high honors at Vassar wanted
some mince pies made and put away
for New Years. Neither of her servant
GIRLS knew how to make them, and so
the lady went out among her neighbors.
She tried to remember what they told
her, but her pies were made without
sugar or salt, and with only one crust.
When told why "they tasted like bass
wood chips" she burst into tears and
sobbed out:

EIOcutiOn.

"Shakesperean readings" "morn-
ings with the poets,'' ETC., are the names
given at present to certain informal and
charming entertainments much appre-
ciated by those who have the leisure to
devote to such affairs. Nobody can
doubt that an accomplished reader may
make such opportunities both agreeable
and profitable, for the difference between
written and spoken eloquence is very
great-so great, in fact, that to read
with any pretensiOns to correctness OF
emphasis, clearness of Interpretation,
and attractive manner, the reader must
have studied long and well. The world
has endured much from public speakers
as we'll as from professional readers, and
many an instance of wicked hilarity in
church has been provoked by the solemn
occupant of the pulpit. 1t is said that
the cultivated John Randolph corrected
the pronunciation of the good man who
ministered unto him in his last hours,
but a person less sensitive and eccentric
might criticise the clergyman who gave
out hymn as follows;
He takes young children in his arms,
And in his bosOm-beGrS.
So much for a style of recitation which
at one period of literary cultivation was
called melodious, and which consisted
in " "slowing up" as they say in railroad
parlance, on the last line, and lingering
with kind of painful procrastinatlon
L a 4
rible manglings which have taken place,
and the fine productions which have
been actually slaughtered upon that step
which divides the sublime from the
ridiculous, one might say that ga little
reading is a dangerous thing" and
those who can not read well would be
wise to turptheir attention to something
which they could execute with less pain
to an audience.

A Puzzle for PhOnetickers.

A fast man on a fast day took his
horse and went to the end of the fast
land, and there tied him fast, and as
fast as he could he broke his fast. Then
he rose and took off his hose, and Went
with his hoes along the rows, and put
the rose on the end of his hose-whlcn,
as everyone knows, is a sort OF nose,
So his hose waters every rose in all the
rows. Now say who knows how a for

meaning of hoes and rows or knows
