Lilies

have peculiar fondness for lilies; their
color, growth, scent, all is infinitely lovely;
and, beyond this, they have kind Of splen-
dor which is wanting in all other flowers.
In Italy and Spain you may see flowers
growing wild. that with us are only to be
found in gardens. But lilies are extremely
rare. On the island OF Ischia, near Naples,
there is species Of lily, with a very rich
perfume, bat its color Is not so dazzlingly
white. but has rather a geyish tinge. II
grows on one spot Of the island only; and
tina! too on the very driest patch Of sand on
the shore. although the lily, in general, will
only live in good soil. The inhabirant,
relate that this is kind Of miracle, fof
which they are indebted to St. Rosalia, the
patron saint of the island. On the spot
where the virgin formerly suffered mar.
tyr's death, these lilies now grow.---W. Vo,

nu-Ieai Fishe..

Aquatic animals are generally supposed
destitute of the means Of making themselves
heard; and If they communicate with each
other, it is usually supposed that il must be
otherwise than by sound. The seal has, it
is believed, peculiar and distinct cry; and
the gramPus snorts as il attains the surface.
Frogs and other amphibious animals croak
long and loud enough; but in all these cases
the sounds are emitted, not under, but above
the water. and by creatures rarely more
than half aquatic. The cetaceous races
have warm blood, and sUckle their young
and fishes, properly so called, are consider
ed, as we shall presently show, enormously,
silent race. The long-eared Balaainite
is Justly reckoned the strangest ass mention
ed in history; and scaly creature emitting
sounds may truly be reckoned an odd FISH
indeed A party lately crossing from the
promontOry in SslseIte, called the Meats
Tongue, to near Sewree, were about sunset
struck by hearing long distinct sounds like
the proIacted booming Of distant bell, the
dying cadence Of an eolian harp, the note
OF pitchpipe or pitchfork, or any other
long-drawn out musical note. IL was at
first supposed to be music from Parell float
ing at intervals on the breeze; then il was
perceived TO come from all directions al
most in equal strength, and to arise from
the surface Of the water all around the yes
sci. The boatmen at once intima.ed that
the sounds were produced by fish abonnding
10 the muddy creeks and shoals around
Bombay and Sslsette: they were perfectly
well-known. and very often heard. Accor-
dinghy on inclining the ear towards the sur
face Of the water. or, better still, by placing
it close to the planks OF the vessel. the notes
appeared loud and distinct, and followed
each other in constant succession. The
boatmen next day produced specimens oil
the fish, creature closely resembling in
size and shape the fresh water perch oil
the north Of Europe, and spoke Of them as
plentiful and perfectly wellknown. 1t il
hoped they may be procured alive, and the
means afforded of terminating how the nu.
