We are disappointed in this work. It contains little 
that will interest the general reader, and nothing, in onr 
opinion, that Kill enhance the reputation of either Hom- 
hOLDt or Varnhac.kx Most of the letters are common¬ 
place, aud not a few of them are below mediocrity. If 
the object of publication was to show the weakness of 
men who hare attained some celebrity, we think it will 
be attained The admirers of the author of “Cosmos'' 
will certainly be taken aback in perusing this volume.

Popular Astronomy. A Concise Elementary Treatise

Mitchell, EL. It, Director of the Cincinnati and Dud¬ 
ley Observatories. [12mo. — pp. 370.] New York: 
PhinD*y, Blakeman A Mason. 
Those who have listened to the popular, scientific 
lectures ol Prof. Mitchell, will find in this “Popular 
Astronomy" all the characteristics ol the author by whom 
they have been instructed and delighted. The same 
original and lucid course is pursued by him on the 
magnificent subject of astronomy. After giving fiv-e 
important astronomical definitions in the unique brief 
i. introduction," he proceed* in sixteen chapters to treat 
of all the grand phenomena of the Solar System, begin¬ 
ning with the sun as the center of the system, and pass¬ 
ing from Mercury to all the other planets in the order of 
their distances from the central luminary. He discusses 
also the Comets and the Nebular Hypothesis On tho 
son, the Professor shows the discoveries of the ancients, 
and the manner by which they were made, as to its vary¬ 
ing motion north and south of the equator, its orbit as 
circular, the approximate length of the year, its irregular 
but nearly equable velocity, the coarse of solar eclipses, 
and the power to predict their occurrence and return. 
This was effectually accomplished before the Christian 
era It was reserved to the moderns to discover the 
distance of the sun and its apparent magnitude, and 
hence its real magnitude from its diameter, aud the spots 
on its surface; and further on, its relative density, the 
f ure of gravity on its surface compared with that on 
the earth, the lnws of planetary motion ami action, and 
of gravitation. Such is a mere illustration of the whole. 
The methods of calculating the distances and magnitudes, 
and the solution of most of the phenomena, are so pre¬ 
sented that the reader believes lie understands the whole 
matter, at least the general principle on which the calcu¬ 
lations depend. In a word, there is tliu same fascination 
of the reader, as of the hearer, of Professor Mitchell.

A subject of vast importance to the youth of 
our land, is the one under which this article 
opens, and one which receives not its proper 
amount of forethought. There should be in the 
far off future of every one, a goal to bo obtained, 
to which we should bend our utmost energies and 
untiring zeal. You, kind reader, may have fond 
friends in some remote portion of the West, who 
hold up to you many inducements to como to 
them and build up your future fortune, and you 
resolve to go. As fast ns the facilities of tho 
nineteenth century afford, you are hurried from 
one town, county, and Stale to another, passing 
on your way many interesting sights, inviting 
your delay. You are surrounded by, passing and 
meeting those who have their directions marked 
out, which each is silently and steadily pursuing. 
In the changing of vehicles on your journey you 
ofttimes part company with a friend, ho in¬ 
viting you in another direction. Still, regardless 
of all these, your eye is on the mark, and the goal 
for which you set out must be attained. 
Agaiu, mark tho contrast between two youths 
born side by side, and to all appearance of equal 
talents, one of wealthy parents aud the other poor. 
The tirat is rocked jn the cradle of indulgence, 
aud reared iu the lap of plenty, enjoying through 
his minor days or years all that a life of opulence 
and ease could ask. He feels no cure for even the 
morrow, and from the first exercising of his judg¬ 
ment is not taught to have his eye on some ap¬ 
propriate calling, or his direction marked out for 
his future good, but is left passing along with 
naught to do except to idle away (Jon's most 
precious gift —time. Look on the other hand, 
how wide the contrast,—the latter born of parents 
Boeing from the beginning of his existence the 
need of marking aright his direction, that he in 
his riper years may bo an honor to himself and 
his friends aroond him. Prom his mother’s lips, 
while seated at her side, ho is early taught to lisp 
in holy accents the morning aud evening prayers, 
and from the same broad position he first hears 
the need of storing his mind with nseful knowl¬ 
edge. Thus you see that his young and tender 
mind is being directed, and as he passes on to 
manhood, under the guidance of such parental 
care and instruction, iu the far off future his mark 
iB fixed, to the attainment of which he diligently 
arid manfully seta himself to work. Therefore, 
let us carefully consider, before making our 
choice, that our vocation may be of a congenial 
nature, that our minds in it may be constantly 
employed. 
Alike necessary is it that spiritually, as well as 
temporally, this should bo considered—that while 
we have our minds well directed, relating to things 
transitory, we must diroct them toward that goal 
at the end of the Christian’s race, where there is 
a crown awaiting those who walk uprightly in the 
highway pointed out to them. f. s. s.

As this work approaches completion, it increases in 
value and interest. The nine volumes thus far issued 
are conceded by the best critics to be remsrkaby full and 
accurate on all the subjects treated, and it only remains 
for the editor* and publishers to complete thetr almost 
Herculean labor as well as it has been hegun, to add 
largely to their former reputation for ability and euter- 
pri-e. The volume before us is especially rich In History 
aud Biography, many of tho sketches being of peculiar 
value mid interest at the present time. Among the 
countries described are Hungary, Hindustan, Ireland, 
Ionian I lands, Italy, Japan, Jamaica, and others. The 
biographies of distinguished peusonage* Include the 
Henries of France and England. Patrick Henry, Homer, 
John Howard, the philanthropist, Commodore Hull, 
Humboldt, Leigh Hunt, Washington Irving, Presidents 
Jackson and Jefferson, John Jay, and many others. The 
articles on Hoat, Ice, Iron, and many other subjects, are 
of peculiar value. Indeed, those socking valuable infor¬ 
mation can scarcely open a volume of this Cyclopedia 
without discovering a mine of useful knowledge on some 
important subject. E. R. Hall is Subscription Agent for

Not the least of the pleasures of tho garden is 
furnished by the feathered songsters that sing 
and bnild their nests, and rear their young among 
the trees and the shrubs. There are others that, 
like the bumming birds, furnish no music, no 
song of joy to the ear; yet they delight the eye 
with their delicate forms, beautiful plumage, and 
graceful motion. Who is there who has not 
watched with delight the Humming Bird, passing 
from plant to plant, and sipping honey from every 
(lower? We don't know that these birds have any 
particular choico of flowers, but we could always 
entice them to our garden in scores, by a few bills 
of pole beans, known as Scarlet Runners, and 
White Runners, and these we usually plant for 
their accommodation. 
But two varieties of tho Humming Tlird are 
known iu the Northern States, but in the tropics, 
and even so far north as Florida, they are very 
numerous. We believe that, over seventy differ¬ 
ent kinds, from tho size of a wren to that of a 
bumble bee, have been named and described. Tho 
most common with us is the “Ruby-throated Hum¬ 
ming Dird.’" We have al«o a “Humming Bird 
Moth," which resembles the bird very much, both 
in form and motion. The name of this bird, 
which is one of the same meaning in many lan¬ 
guages, is derived from the peculiarly quick and 
constant motion of its wings, which make a hum¬ 
ming sound. They seldom alight, and when they 
do, choose some small twig bare of leaves. 
These birds live on tho honey which they 
extract from (lowers, and also the small insects 
found in and around them. The tongue of a 
Humming Bird is similar to tbatof a Woodpecker, 
being curled round the head under tho akin, aud 
thus capable of being darted to a considerable 
distance. They are bold and rather quarrelsome 
creatures among themselves, and often fight until 
they drop from exhaustion. 
Their nests are very neatly constructed of down, 
cotton, or other line vegetable fibre, and very 
diminutive in size. They are sometimes covered 
on the outside with mosses and lichens. The eggs 
of some species are about the size of a pea, and 
Goldsmith compares tho young, when first hatch¬ 
ed, to blue bottle (lies. 
Of the appearance of the Humming Bird, when 
glancing in the bright sunshine of tho tropics, 
a writer gives this characteristic description: 
“Though least in size, the glittering mantle of 
the Humming Bird entitles it to the first place in 
the list of the birds of the New World. It may 
truly be called the Bird of Paradise; and had it 
existed in the Old World, It would have claimed 
the title instead of the bird which has now tho 
honor to bear it. See it darting through tho air 
almost as quick as thought; now it is within a 
yard of your face — iu an instant gone; now it 
flutters from (lower to (lower to sip the silver dew 
— it is now a ruby — now a topaz — now an eme¬ 
rald — now all burnished gold." 
Tlie Physiology of Reproduction. 
The student of natnre wonders the more and 
is astonished the less, the more conversant he be¬ 
comes with her operations; but of all the peren- 
Dial miracles she offers to his inspection, perhaps 
the most worthy of admiration is the development 
of a plant, or of an animal from its embryo. Ex¬ 
amine the recently laid egg of some common uni- 
It is a mi- 
ranl, such as a salamander or a newt, 
nutc spheroid iu which the best microscope will 
reveal nothing but a structureless sac, inclosing a 
glairy fluid, holding granules in suspension. But 
strange possibilities lie dormant iu that semifluid 
globule. Let a moderate supply of warmth reach 
its watery cradle, and the plastic matter under¬ 
goes changes bo rapid and yet so steady and pur- 
poBe-like in their succession, that one can only 
compare them to those operated by a skilled 
modeller upon a formless lump of clay. As with 
an invisible trowel, the mass is divided and sub¬ 
divided into smaller and smaller portions, until it 
is reduced to an aggregation of granules not too 
large to build withal the finest fabrics of the nas¬ 
cent organism. And, thcn.it is as if a delicate 
finger traced out the line to be occupied by the 
spinal column, and moulded the contour of the 
body; pinching np the head at one end, the tail 
at the other, and fashioning flunk and limb into 
due Balamandrino proportions, in so artistic a 
way, that, after watching the process hour by 
hour, one is almost involuntarily possessed by the 
notion that some more subtle aid to vision than 
an achromatic would show the hidden artist, with 
his plan before him, striving with skillful manip¬ 
ulation to perfect his work. 
As life advances, und the young amphibian 
ranges the waters, the terror of his insect con¬ 
temporaries, not only are the nutritious particles 
supplied by its prey, by the addition of which to 
its frame growth takeB place, laid down, each in 
its proper .-.pot, and in such due proportion to the 
rest, as to reproduce the form, the color, and the 
size, characteristic of the parental Btock; but 
even the wonderful powers of reproducing lost 
pails possessed by these animals are controlled 
by the same governing tendency. Cut off the 
legs, the tail, the jaws separately or all together, 
and, as Spallunzan showed long ago, these parts 
not only grow again, but the redintegrated limb 
is formed on the same type as those which were 
lost. The new jaw or leg is a newt’s, and never 
by any accident more like that of a frog. What 
is true of the newt is true of every animal and of 
every plant; the acorn lends to build itself up 
again into a woodland giant such as that from 
whose twig it fell; the spore of tho humblest 
lichen reproduces the green or brown incrusta¬ 
tion whfch gave it birth; aud at the other end of 
the scale of life, the child that resembled neither 
the paternal nor the maternal side of the house 
would be regarded as a kind of monster. So that 
the one end to which in all living beings the 
formative impulse is tending—the one scheme 
which the Arc hie us of the old speculators strives 
to carry out, seems to be to mould tho offspring 
into the likeness of the parent. It is the first 
great law of reproduction, that the offspring 
tends to resemble its parent or parents, more 
closely than anything else.— Westminster Review 
fur April.'

I x.KD the horse to the stable, when a fresh 
perplexity arose. I removed the harness without 
difficulty, hut, after many strenuous attempts, I 
could not remove the collar. In despair, I called 
for assistance, when aid soon drew uear. Mr. 
Wordsworth brought his ingenuity into exercise, 
hut after several unsuccessful efforts, he relin¬ 
quished the achievement as a thing altogether 
impracticable. Mr. Coleridge now tried his hand, 
but showed no more grooming skill than his pre¬

neck almost to strangulation, aud the great dan¬

THE MOLE, 
Tiie Mole has never boon very troublesome in 
this section of the country, hut is more so this 
year than ever before. In the West we think it is 
more abundant, as we have seen lawns and borders 
very much injured by this animal even in a single 
night. Tt burrows under the surface in search of 
food, making tunnels, and in this way disturbs 
and destroys the roots of plants. In places where 
it comes near the surface, its track is seen by a 
slight elevation of the earth.

don’t go about the work in the right way. You 
should do this,” when, turning the collar com¬ 
pletely upside down, she slipped it off in a mo¬

knowledge in the world to which we had not yet 
attained.— Cottle's Life of Coleridge, 
A Russian Household. 
About leu o’clock they began to set out a 
table, and in dne time supper appeared. 1 was 
placed at the head of the table, the good man at 
one side, and I naturally expected his amiable 
spouse would take a scat opposite to me, instead 
of which she walked to the end of the room and 
sat down; but, having refused to partuko of their 
hospitality unless she would sit by us, the lady 
was induced to make one of the party, after which 
everything went on well. To describe the dishes 
would lie useless; I can only say that some of 
them were very good—at least l thought so after 
the sharp, l'rosly blast I had encountered. 
In Siberia, each good housewife makes from the 
wild fruit, of which there is a great variety, seve¬ 
ral sorts of nalifka (cordial) A bottle of this 
was produced, and a glass of it banded to me; it 
was the color of claret, but the flavor vastly 
superior. Immediately four other bottles of dif¬ 
ferent sorts were ordered in, from all of which I 
was obliged to drink a "wee drap" during sup¬ 
per; and most delicious nalit'kas they were. 
Finally, as a finish to our repast, my host brought 
in a bottle of Champagne and two glasses on a 
tray, evidently intending that lie and I should 
drink it alone; hut here 1 was forced to disap¬ 
point him, for, as soon as he had tilled a bumper 
for me, I could not lielp presenting it to his wife, 
evidently to her great surprise and pleasure. 
Another glass was brought for me, and we then 
very deliberately proceeded to finish the bottle. 
When this was disposed of, I thought all con¬ 
cluded for the night, but was mistaken; my 
hostess left the room, presently returning with 
other varieties of Siberian liquors, all of which 
she insisted on my tasting; this, with them, means 
finishing a glass; I had no sooner taken one than 
she had another ready. At last T got through the 
tasting process, or, at least, supposed that I had; 
but judge my astonishmeut when my host walked 
In with another bottle of Champague, which, in 
spite of all opposition, my friends compelled me 
to join in drinking. I was then provided with a 
sofa to sleep on, and turned in for the night. 
At seven o’clock next morning a hoy brought 
me tea and bread, of which I partook; I then 
went with my host to the iron-works. Bar-iron in 
large quantities is made here, and is sent in barks 
to the Kama. Having spent three hours in look¬ 
ing over the works, I returned to breakfast. Tea 
formed no part of this meal; it was Siberian fare 
— ffSh-pasty, meat, several sorts of game, and 
tarts made of preserved wild strawberries, with 
plenty of their excellent, nalifka; and it finished 
with a bottle of Champagne. 
All the children were brought into the room to 
wish me a safe voyage. T felt it, necessary to say 
something to each—tho daughter twelve years old, 
the others, boys, varying from a baby to a lad of 
nine years. I presented to the girl one of my 
illustrated English hooks, and wrote my name in 
it to satisfy all hands; this will he preserved with 
great, care, and most probably handed down to the 
next generation. The who).- family sat down, aud 
I followed their example; two or three minutes 
wore spent, as 1 supposed, in siffint prayer, and 
then all rose up. My host, advanced and kissed 
me three times; 1 then kissed his wife’s hand, arid 
she my cheek; similar salutations were exchanged 
between myself, the daughter, and boys, ull of 
whom I kissed most heartily. — “ Explorations

It has been said that the Mole is without eyes, 
hut this is not true. It has eye,*, but they are 
very small, in order to prevent them from being 
iDjuredbytho earth through which the animal 
makes it way; indeed, larger eyes would bo use¬ 
less under ground. Wheo, however, the Mole re¬ 
quires to use its eyes, it can bring them forward 
from the mass of fur which conceals and protects 
them when not in use. The acute ears and deli¬ 
cate sense of smell supply the place of eyes. Its 
fur Is very line, soft, capable of turning In any 
direction, and will not retain a particle of mould. 
But the most extraordinary part of the Mole is tho 
paw, or hand, with which it digs. The two fore 
paws are composed of five lingers, urmed with 
sharp, strong nails, in order to scrape up the 
earth, and to prevent the accumulated mould 
from impeding the Mole’s progress, the hands are 
turned outwardly, so as to throw the dirt out of 
its way. 
The Mole is a most voracious animal. Its prin¬ 
cipal food is the earth-worm, in chase of which it 
drives its long galleries underground; but it also 
will eat insect.*, bits of meat, aud sometimes 
birds, which it. takes by surprise, and then rapidly 
tears to pieces with ita powerful claws. 
Moles vary in color, the usual tint being a very 
deep brown, almost black, hut they have been seen 
of an orange color, and a white variety is not un¬ 
common. Those who have watched its habits, 
state that it alternately works and rests at inter¬ 
vals of three hours. There are several Moles 
known,—the Shrew Mole, the Changeable Mole, 
the Cape Mole, and the Star-nosed Mole are the 
most conspicuous.
