variegated 'colors, and of the most billiant

b."Ehe fish which inbabitedothose Silver
Banks, Ffound as different in kind, as
the scenery was varied. They wegeof all
forms, colors and sizes-from the .sYmme-
trical goby, to the globelike sun fish from
those Of the dullest hue to the chapgeable
dolphin i; from the spots of the leopard, to
the hues of the sunbeam from the harm
less minnow, to the voracious shark
Some had heads like squirrels, others like
cats and dogs one of small size resem-
bfedi the bull terrier. Some darted
through the water like meteors, while
others could scarcely be seen to move.
10 enumerate and explain all the yari-
GUS kind of fish | beheld, while diving on
these banks would, were 1 enough of
naturalist \ att 50 to do, require more than my
limits will allow, for [ am convinced that
most of the kinds of fish which inhabit
the tropical seas, can be found there
The sunfsh, sawGsh, starfsh, white shark,
blue or shovel-nose shark, were often seen.
There were also fish which resembled
plants, and remained as fixed in their po-
sition as shrub. The only powers they
possessed was to open and shut when in
danger. Some Of them resmbed the rose
IN full bloom, and were of all hues.
There were the ribbon fish, from four
to five inches to three, feet in length.
Their eyes are very large, and protrude
like those Of the frog. Another fish was
spotted like the leopard, from three to
ten feet in length. They build their
houses like beavers, in which they spawn,
and the male or female watches the egg
uatil it matches. 1 saw many specimens
Of the green turtle some five feet long,
which | should think would weigh from
400 to 500 pounds. VI

More Curious Supsrstitions.

Before scientific investigation had mad e
known the actual properties of plants, the
most whimsical fancies were received and
firmly believed in. Thus, every plant was
supposed to be under the influence of
planet; each planet reigned paramount
over certain part Of the human frame, and
the herbs under its influence were believ-
ed to supply the proper medicine for that
portion of the body. Another method of
detecting the virtues of plants was by
signature and was founded on the idea
that ''nature has stamped on divers plants
legible characters, to discover their uses. !"
50 yellow flowers were held the natural
medicine for yellow jaundice; spotted
herbs for the removal of freckles; and the
tooth-like shape Of the henbane seed was
sufficient proof that its juice would cure
the tooth-ache. The medicinal properties
attached to some plants by the herbalist
are indeed astonishing. "Eye-bright''
wine will not only enable old people. to
read without spectacles, but has been
known to restore sight to the blind; valeri-
ian juice draws iron or wood out of flesh |;
cowslip water restores beauty; and single
spoonful Of the juice of the mallow is a
preservatiye forever from all diseases -
Rue renders a man subtle, quick, and in
yentive !; sage strengthens the memory,
and rejoiees in so many virtues, that one
of its panegyrists asks, "Hows is it that
one who grows sage in his garden can ever
die ?'3',sjbIa 5tae, \, gq.-,er@ sd, ,r,a !!
snSome curious recipes are furnished by
these, old herbalists. There is one---neyer
in much demand, we opine--'sgood against
merrie gals,' another "to kill man in
such sort as though he seemed to- die
laughing Two, walnuts, two figs, and
twenty leaves of rue, beaten together and
eaten fasting, would preserve against pla-
que or poison for a,day. Dogs we are told
take grass as an emetic asses, when afflic-
ted with melancholy, recoveratheir spirits

THERE COMES A TIME.

There comes time when we grow old,
And like sunset down the sea, -.
Slopes gradual, and the night wind cold
Comes whispering sad and chilling;
And locks are gray
As winters day, sst
And eyes of saddest blue behold .s
The leaves all weary drift away,
And lips of faded coral say,
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes time when Joyous hearts,
Which leaped as leaps the laughing main,
Are dead to all save memory,
As prisoner in his dungeon chain; 80

The moon hath into darkness rolled,
And by the embers wan and gray,
hear voice in whisper say, t'a.
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes time when manhood's prime
Is shrouded in the mist of years,
And beauty, fading like a dream,
Hath passed away in silent tears, -
And then how dark
V ""i But oh | the spark,
That kindles youth to hues of gold,
Still burns with clear and steady ray,
And fond affections lingering say,
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes time when laughing spring
And golden summer cease to be,
And we put on the autumn robe,
