CONCERNING BADNESS.
A Delightfully."- Suggestive Legend for Bald
People.

People.
In the tropics, turkey-buzzards are
the scavengers of towns, and are pro-
,ected both by law and sentiment A
person writing from Port Clarence, in
.ho island of Fernando Po, gives Gu
rious legend in regard to these birds
which is quite in the humor OF the
Spanish fancy. The streets were so
clean that the wretchcd turkey y-buzzards
could scarcely find enough to supply
the wants OF life, and were perched
about on the tops of the trees and the
gables of houses, looking hungry and
melancholy.
These scavengers, as no doubt the
reader knows, are bald-headed, and
the Spaniards have invented little le-
gend to account for 1t. They say that
when the waters subsided after the del
uge. and Noah opened the door of the ark
to let out the passengers, the ancient
mariner thought that he would give a
parting word of advice to his fellow
voyagers, and beginning with the birds,
he said:
"My children, when you see man
stoop down as he is coming towards
you, fly away from him as quick as you
can, for he is spicking up a stone to throw
at YOU
That's all very wellr' exclaimed the
turkey-buzzard; 'but suppose he has
already got one in his slngP"
At this, the patriarch, according to
the fable, being nonplussed. became
angry; and he decreed that from that
time the turkey-buzzard should 60 bald
headed in token of its unnatural sharp
ness.
The legend must prove delightfully."-
