Autobiography or i Country Doctor.

When men are sick, they want to be
cured, cost what 1t may, but when they are
on their feet, and at their business again
they do not want TO- pay, especially II lne
bill be little one. The poor Doctor IS call
ed from his bed on stormy night with the
stirring summons :-"Doctor-want yon. 70
come right away off to nk's.-His chsild,'
dead" Then why 90 you come F" "Hei
p'lsoned. They gin himiaua pam iof Par, o
egorlckv." "How much did you give
him - "Do'no. A great deal lhlnK ne
";'t The doctor @ pushes. af through the storm;
meets with divers mishaps by the way and
At lenutb arrives at the house ofhis poison
ed patient. He finds all closed-not a light
7 knocked at the door, but no answer
T knocked furiously and at last nlght-cap
anneared from the chamber-wlndow, and a
waman,s voice squeaked out-'Who,s thereF
%T',as Tbs doctor o to be sure you sent for him.
What the dogs is the matter !" "oh it's

Odd Fishes.

DR.. fIs,nnicao5ck mentions fish Ohe 1orica
rial which creeps upon all foprs in the bed
of rivers. This little fnny dgadlrupe'I ha
a very singular IN .appcarancer. moving uPor
its four .tiTts, which are produced BY DO
ny ray in front of its pectoral fms, and o
the next pair 10 them. The caf''chhys
Brazilian fish, walks in this way for miles
in search of water, when, as often hap.
pens, the pools in WHICH i, lives are driee
up. The climbing perch (perca scandens,
not only creeps along the shore, but as
cends trees in search of thu: crpstafeans
upon which it feeds. 1t is found in Tran
quebar. 1t must have some difficulty in
ascending the fan-palms, if it were moi pro-
videl With numerous little Z. sPlpes P or thorns
upon it's. fms, by means Of which It sus-
pends itself whilst climbing, using them
like hands. In addition TO these peculiar
tiles, it has the power of folding up both
dorsal and anal fins when not using them,
and thus 1t literally puts its hands IN It's
pocket, for i: deposits them in a-caTlty in
its body provided by nature on purpose to
receive them when they are not needed for
progression, :.
The perca scandcns is moi the only kind
of fish which ascends trees in search Of
food; several species are found in the Pol
vnesian islands climbing the cocoa palms.
The most remarkable of them is kind OF
lobster ofgigantic size, and of strength; ;sut-
6c;ont IN omen the cocoa. nuts, upon which
it chiefly sqbssts. ~
Nor are these the only instances Of the
inhabitants of the waters forsaking their
native element, Several. varieties of fsh
in the Indian Ocean and in the Mediterra-
mean are adapted for short fight; and
these peculiarities of habit and movement
are highly interesting even when devoid OF
grace, for they are examples of contrl-
vance which displays the goodness OF the
Crea in furnishing them with the means
of providing for themselves amidst the ac-
cidents and difficulties that may fall TO their
lot. ri .l+,. .fss..,-
1t has been asserted that fish are quite
deaf; butAhough they have no external Or
gan of hearing they are by no mean def
Gent in this sense; and their faculty OF
smelling is so wonderful that they are gVid.
ed by It through storm and darkness, and
directed to their prey, or warned TO escape
from their enemies, at an immense dis
tance. Lacepede considers this so much
