HE Devil FIsln.

The devil fish of Victo Hugo
promises to be q reality instead of q
creation of the imagination. Two
divers have sworn to seeing one of
the lost passengers of the steamer
Schiller in the arms of G cutie fish,
and partly deVoured. The story
goes that Franz Hauser, of Luxem-
bourg, who had q mother and sister
lost on the vessel, came to Penzanee,
and having procured a suit of ar
NOR, hired two experienced divers
to instruct him in it's use. When
sufficiently expert, the three decend-
ed to the wreck, which they found,
and after descending several times,
young Hsnser discovered the head
of woman in the arms of q huge
cutie fish that was clinging to the
rocks. A three examined It in
tently, and describe it as "havinR q
circular, central body that could not
be less than four feet in diameter,
of greenish black hue, with alter
mating dark and light spots and q
slimy surface" The body was
rounded like dome, and il seemed
as ii portion of the human BODY
had been absorbed by it. The div
ers counted eight arms, oyer twelve
feet long and almost q foot in diam
eter. Some of these arms chung to
the victim, some to the rocks End
some swung about like the trunk OF
an elephant. The effect was such
that young Hauser, after a few days,
believing he had seen his sister, be-
came deiirious and died. This is
the story as told by 6 correspond
ent from Plymouth, England, where
the two divers had made oath to the
truth Of The statement.

AUTUMN.
[Backwood's Magazine.

IT'S the golden gleam OF an autumn day.
With the soft rain raining as If IN play;
And a tender touch upon everything,
A. II autumn remembered the days OF
spring.
In the listening woods there is not q
To shake their gold to the sward beneath;
And 4 glow as OF sunshine upon them
lies.
Though the sun was hid in the Swallowed
skies.
The cocks clear crow from the farmyard
comes,
The mufiied bell from the belfry bOoms,
And faint and dim. and from far away,
Come the voices Of childen in happy play.
Ger the mountains the white rain draws
its veil,
And the black rocks cAwing across them
sail,
While Learer the swooping swallows skim
Der the steel-grey rivers fretted brim.
No sorrow upon the landscape weighs,
grief for the vanished summer days,
But u sense OF peaceful and calm repOSe
Like that which age In Its autumn knows.
The spring time lOngings are past and
gone,
The passions OF summer no longer are
known,
The harvest Is gathered, and autumn
stands
SereneIy thoughtful with folded hands.
Over all is thrown 3 memorial hue,
A glory ideal the real meier knew;
For memory Sits from the past its pain,
And suffers its beauty alone TO remain.
With half q smile aud half q sigh
It ponders the past that has hurried by;
Sees IL and feels it, and loves it all,
Content It has VanquIshed beyond recall
o glorious autumn, thus serene,
| TITUS living ana loving all that has been
Thus cam and contented let me be
When the autumn OF age shall come to me
