A furtive brown rivulet wandered here and there like a thing endeavouring to conceal itself and unable to find a hiding-place. "That's the Mouse, Mr. Vivian," remarked Capricornus, proudly. "We shall soon be there." "Ridiculum mus," rejoined his sister, who evidently took after her learned mother. "Culus, Corona; and you're not to say that. Pater familias says that the Mouse is a noble stream.
"Is it Coronus and Capricorna?" continued the Prophet, with an effort after blithe familiarity. "Is it?" "No," piped the little boy. "It isn't Coronus and Capricorna." A marvellous sensation of relief invaded the Prophet. "Thank Heaven!" he ejaculated in a sigh. "I thought it must be." "It's Corona and Capricornus," continued the little boy. "And we've brought you a letter from pater familias."
"If you're sure you're quite alone," returned the sage, showing a slightly enlarged segment of face. "I am quite sure positive!" At this the door was opened just sufficiently to admit the passage of one thin person at a time, and, in single file, the Prophet, Corona and Capricornus passed into the lodge.
As we pluck out the shafts, stand aside! here's the battering-ram, Capricornus, or the Goat; full tilt, he comes rushing, and headlong we are tossed; when Aquarius, or the Water-bearer, pours out his whole deluge and drowns us; and to wind up with Pisces, or the Fishes, we sleep.
Make yourself especially familiar with the so-called zodiacal constellations, which are, in their order, running around the heavens from west to east: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Aquarius, and Pisces.
I owe it rather to my fortune than my reason. She has caused me to be descended of a race famous for integrity and of a very good father; I know not whether or no he has infused into me part of his humours, or whether domestic examples and the good education of my infancy have insensibly assisted in the work, or, if I was otherwise born so: "Seu Libra, seu me Scorpius adspicit Formidolosus, pars violentior Natalis hors, seu tyrannus Hesperive Capricornus undae:"
"O miseris hominorum mentas!" exclaimed that lady, tragically. "O pectorae caecae!" "You hear her, sir?" continued Mr. Sagittarius. "You grasp her meaning?" "I do hear certainly," said the Prophet, beginning to feel that he really must rub up his classics. "She helps Capricornus, sir, of an evening. She assists him in his Latin. Madame is a lady of deep education, sir." "Quite so. But "
But by the power of imagination, in him, the bearded goat was changed to a bright Capricornus: no longer an animal on earth, but a constellation in heaven. An easy and indolent disposition made him gentle and childlike in his manners; and, in short, the beauty of his character, like that of the precious opal, was owing to a defect in its organization.
He is something of a vivisectionist also, and we may not be surprised at it, perhaps, in an age which, for the propagation of truth, was ready to cut off men's ears. He finds one day "a Scarabaus capricornus odoratus," which he takes "to be mentioned by Monfetus, folio 150. He saith, 'Nucem moschatam et cinnamomum vere spirat' but to me it smelt like roses, santalum, and ambergris."

The ram does not appear in America because no such animal was known there. The nearest substitute was the llama.
