KUiSSELL’S PL A NETARIU M. This wonderful piece of mechanical and scientific skill, our readers are aware, was destroyed by fire, at Providence, alx»ut a fortnight since. The Boston i’ost, in speaking ol it, says : “The loss in dollars has been estima ted at ten thousand, but that is a poor wav, indeed, to calculate the loss which elementary astronomy has suffered by its destruction. The inventor and const! uc torofthe Planetarium devoted many years of studious thought and almost incessant labor to its production. Thousands of dollars were expended upon it, and at last, the patient and persevering experimenter was rewarded bv a complete, and so far as mechanical ingenuity could do it, in the present state of astronomical science, a perfect model of the solar system, show ing, with exactness and beautiful precis ion, die revolutions of the different plane tary bodies around the sun, their diurnal motion, the motion of the satellites or moons, &c. The operation of the machi nery was beautiful, .and conveyed, at one glance, a more correct idea of our system than whole days of paddit study. The Plan* larium was a triumph of A merican genius and American industry. It stood alone a proud and noble contribution to'the science of astronomy. It belonged to America, ami should have been depos ited, as an enduring monument to the in ventor and the land he had honored, in some public depository under the owner ship of government. Rut it was suffered to go almost a begging. In Europe, its merits were known, and it was sought for. A good price was offered for it there, and the proprietors determined, even at some sacrifice of time and money, to give the people of this country an opportunity to behold this great creation of one of their own countrymen, before it should he ta ken from the land. And is. this laudable and praiseworthy work they were enga* ged when the destroying element hurst upon them—and the l’lanetai ium is a thing that was. Additional attractions were used by the proprietors, in their exhibition of the Plan etarium, tending to illustrate it. The gran I urannrnma, or moving telescopic view .if the heavens, covering a space of .'■>,ooo square feet of canvass, and icprc si ming upwards of two hundred thousand distant objects; the proper motion and position of our earth and moon, with the other planetary bodies in the stellar uni verse ; exact appearances ol several of the most celebrated comets; immense clns tets of remarkable nebulae, &cc. &c. This, with other apparatus of a similar nature, comprising the most brilliant and splendid diagrams of the solar system, and sidereal heavens, were totally consumed by fire, leaving the enterprising proprietors desti tute of the means of prosecuting their val uable and instructive labors.’’ A beautiful refection. —It cannot be that earth is man’s abiding place. It cannot be that our life is cast by the ocean of eter nity to float a moment upon Us waves, and sink into nothingness. Else why is it, that the high and glorious aspirations which lead like angels from the temple of the heart, are forever wandering about unsatisfied ? Why is it that the rainbow and the cloud conic over us with a beauty that is not of earth, and then pass off’ and leave us to muse upon their faded loveli ness ? Why is it that the stars, which; hold their "feslals around the midnight throne,”,are set above the grasp of our li mited faculties, forever mocking us with their unapproachable glory ? And, final ly, why is it that the bright forms of hu man beauty are presented to our views, and then taken from us leaving the thou sand streams of our affection to flow back in alpine torrents upon our hearts? We ure born fora higher destiny than that of earth ; there is a realm where the rain bow never fades; where stars will be spread out before us, like Islands that slumber on the ocean; and where the beautiful beings which here pass before us like shadows, will stay in our presence forever. Insanity. —It is very hard to draw the line between an insane and a sane state of mind, and indeed it is difficult to define what insauitv is. Some consider it a state of misconception, a false conception of things. It is true that erroneous concep tion of things constitutes the principal in gredient of madness or insanity. Insane persons generally reason right, but take wrong premises. Thus, ari insane man will conceive that the whole world have conspired to poison him to death. This is a wrong conception, but how does lie act and reason in this case ? Why, the same as any man would ; he does not eat any thing whatever, and although he persists in this course till he starves himself to death, yet he ac ts in accordance to right reason in regard to prevention of being poisoned. Tlje impressions and notions which some persons lake are very singular and curious. We have somewhere read of a man who was tormented and made very wretched by the number 3. Whenever that fatal figure or number presented itself, it threw him into great trouble. He took a fancy to buy a watch which he saw hanging up in a pawnbroker’s shop in London, which caused him six month’s misery. Some time after, on winding it up, he perceived that it was number 333, and that, in addition to all this, the pawn broker’s house was No. 33, and what mollified him still more, he recollected' that be paid three guineas for it. This completely unhinged him, and after suf fering half a year intense misery, he made a journey of two hundred miles to the pawnbroker’s in London, and sold it to him again for two guineas, and from that moment became well. —Maine Funner. There is a law among the yfrabs that permits a man to divorce any of the four wives allowed him who docs not make good bread. , Fun au/l Physiology. —“ 3\ hy, wliat is the cause of that mercurial Frenchman’s eternal croaking?” asked a young medi cal student of a Creole gentleman in the St. Louis Exchange, New Orleans, a few days since. [He alluded to a very small man with very large whiskers, who was using very vehement gestures, and predic ting in very desponding terms, as he has been t*>r years, the immediate downfall of Louis Phillippe.] The Creole, who is a wag,looked sig nificantly mysterious at the querist, and bringing his face near bis organ of bear ing, said in a subdued voice, “You ask me what is the cause of his croaking so— do vou ?” “Ido,” saiti the son of Galen, “per haps the information may illustrate some unrevcaled principle in the animal econ omy.” “ Haven't a doubt but it will,” said the Creole, still talking in whispering tones; “ then, the cause of his eternal croaking is, he dines every day on frog soup C The young doctor seemed overjoyed it the discovery, and said at the next ses sion of the medical college he would lay before the board an essay on the direct in iluence ol’ the gastric juices o\er the ner vous system.
