'mistellaneous.
A Monster of the Deep,

In some parts Of the ocean there are
enormous sea animals, called Sepia, which
are kind of polypi. They have very long
legs, and are said sometimes to seize upon
the coral divers along the. coast of Italy.
Mr.. Beale tells the following adventure
with. a creature of this sort: ......
"While upon the BONN Islands, search
ing for shells on the rock which had Just
been left by the receding tide, was much
astonished at seeing at my feet most ex-
traordinary looking animal, crawling to-
wards the retreatins surf. | had never
seen one like it before 1t was creeping
on its eight legs, which, from their soft
and flexible nature, bent considerably un
der the weight Of its body, so that it was
lifted by the efforts of the tentacula only
a small distance from the rocks.
'It appeared much alarmed at seeing
me, and made every effort to escape, while
l was no much in the humol to endeavor
to capture tue ugly customer, whose appear
ance excited b teeliug of disgust, not un.
mixed with fear. |, however endeavored
to prevent its escape by pressing on one
OF its legs with my foot but, although |
used considerable force for that purpose,
its strength was SO great that it several
times quickly liberated its mem Der 10 spite
Of all the efforts l could employ, in this
way, on wet, slippery rocks. | now laid
hold OF one of the tentacles with my hands
and held it firmly, SO that the limbs appear.
ed as if it would be torn asunder by our
united strength ] gave it powerful
jerk, wishing to disengage it from the
rocks to which it clung SO forcibly by its
suckers, which it effectually resisted but,
the moment after, the apparently enraged
animal lifted It's head, with its large eyes
protruding from the middle Of its body,
and letting go its hold of the rocks, sud-
denly sprang upon my arm, which l had
previously barred to the shoulder for the
purpose Of thrustiug it into the holes in
the rocks to discover shells, and clung with
its suckers TO it with great power, endeav
oring TO get its head, which l could now
see between the roots of its arms, in posi- !
ton to bite. ...,s,-,r, u ) "a, tfg, ,sssgs.
! IA sensation of horror perSaded my
whole frame when found this monstrous
animal, for it was about four feet lang, tx.
ed SO firmly to my arm. IT'S cold, Shiny
grasp was extremely sickening, and | i'm
mrdiately called TO the captain, who was
also searching for shells at some distance,
to come and release me from il; who, taking
me down % the boat, during which time II
was employed in keeping the beak away
from my hand, qpickly released me BY de
stoyi,ig my tornlentor with the boat knife.
when 1 disepgaged It BY portions ara time.
This animal was that species of Sepia
which is called BY whalers ''rock squib."'

Life Everywhere.

Life everywhere! The air is crowded
with blrds-beautiful, tender, intelligent
birds, to whom life is a song and a thrill.
Ing anxiety, for love, The air is swarm.
Il"g with insects-tbose little animated
miracles. The waters are pcopled with
tnnpnlerable forus--from the animalcnla,
so small that one hundred and Fifty mil.
lions of them would not weigh grain, to
the whale, so large that it seems an island
as 1t sleeps upon the waves. The bed of
the seas is alive with polypes, crabs, star.
fishes, and with shell animalcules. The
rugged face Of the rocks is SCARED by the
silent boring of soft creatures, and black
ened with countless muscles, barnacles
and limpets. .,... '..t.
Life everywhere I! on the earth, in the
earth, crawling, creeping, burrowiug, bor-
rng, lraping, running. IT the sequestered
cdolness of the wood tempt us to saunter
into Its chequered shades, we are saluted
by the numerous din Of insects, the twit.
ter of birds, the scrambing OF squirrels,
the startled rush of unseen beasts, ali
telling how populous is this seeming soil
tude. II We pause before a tree OF shrub,
or plaut, our cursory and half abstracteJ
glance detects colony of various iuhabi
ants. We pluck flower, and in its bo
soW we see many a charming insect busy
In its appointed labor. We pick up
fallen leaf, aud if nothing is visible on it,
there is probably the trace of an insect
larva hidden in its tissue, and awaiting
heir development. The drop of dew
upon this leaf will probably contain its
animals, visible under the microscope
The same microscope reyeuls that the
d|ood'ra'n suddenly appearing on bread,
and awakening superstitious terrors, is
nothing but collection of minute ami
mails Ma'ds prodigtosa;) and that the
vast tracts Of snow which are Redeemed 10
a single night, owe their color to the mar
vellous rapidity in the reproduction of
minute plant protoccus nivaHs.) The
very mould which covers our cheese, our
bread, our jam, or our ink, and disfgures
our damp walls, is nothing but collcc-
tlon Of plants. The many colored fire
which sparkles on the surface of a summer
sea at night, as the vessel plows her way.
or which drips from the oars in lines OF
jeweed light, is produced by millions OF
minute animals.
