Messageries Imperial ship were bathing,
when shark was observed making for
them. They heard the cries of their

vessel, distant about half mile. They
would have been too late but for an officer
belonging to the celebrated Liverpool
clipper, Black Seneca, Mr.. Lamb, who, ar

from the rail and attacked the monster in
his own element. The shark immediately
turned upon his antagonist, when occurred
a scene more easily imagined than desert.

each time coming up beneath the monster,
and succeeded in inficting several wounds.
The sea was literally dyed with the blood
of the shark. Several boats having been

AUTUMN.

Old Autumn, like gorgeous bride,
Walks DER the earth with mingled hues;
The dead leaves on the breezes ride
The evenings swoon DER radiant dews
A cold blue tint is the sky,
The evening air is cool and sweet
'Mong trembling trees the robins fly ;
The clouds like sun-iringed mountains meet
Low whispers in the woods are heard
They faint along the rivers side
The scarlet-tinted leaves are stirred,
Whose emerald glow with summer died.
The fields, no longer stored with corn,
Look barren when the sun is low;
The leaves are whitening on the thorn,
Like signs the wind through hedges blow.
With rudy sides the fruits are seen,
The grapes in purple clusters swing;
Where vernal beauty long has been
No more the speckled thrushes sing.
Red berries in the hdgerows hang
Like rubies tween sere flut ering leaves;
The lanes are bare where blackbirds sang,
When earth was flushed with golden ewes.
The skies, in mornings early hours,
Blush like bride the woods seem lone
Der banks and wales once graced with flowers
The wrecks OF summer s reign are blown.
A stiffness broods DER plain and hill,
No longer waves the ripened grain
No white clouds slumber Ter the rIl,
And earth lies smitten with the rain.
The shrll note of the robin starts,
And breaks the silence of the noon;
Alas like hopes of human hearts,
The woodland beauties die 100 soon.
The sky looks cold as evening dies,
The winds are moaning on the moor
The mist upon the valley lies
Like shroud, now summers life is DER.

No Royal Road to Science.

Porpora, one of the most illustrious
masters in Italy, conceived a friendship
for young pupil, and asked him if he had
courage to persevere with constaucy in the
course which he should mark out for him,
however wearisome it might seem. Upon
the pupil answering in the affirmative,
Porpora noted, upon single page Of
ruled paper, the diatonic and chromatic
scales, ascending and descending, the in.
tervals of third, fourth, fifth, etc., in order
to teach him to take them with freedom,
aud to sustain the sounds, together with
tratls, groups, appoggiatures, and passages
of vocalization of different kinds. This
page occupied both master and scholar
during an entire year, aud the year fol.
lowing was also devoted to it. When the
third year was commenced, nothing was
said of changing the lesson, and the pupil
began to murmur; but the master remin-
ded him of his promise. The fourth year
slipped away, the fifth followed, and
always on the same eternal page. The
sixth year found them at the same task ;
but the master added to it some lessons in
articulation, pronunciation, and, lastly in
defamation. AT the end of this year,
the pupil, who supposed himself still in
the elements, was much surprised when
the master said to him {: "Go, my son
you have nothing more to learn you are
the finest singer in Italy and of the world"
He spoke the truth, for the singer was
Caffarelli.
