The Natural History of the Eel.

ACCORDING to the reports of shad fish
erman, the chief enemy of the shad is
the eel, which not only follows that fish
up the streams and devours the spawn,
but often attacks the shad after they
are caught in the nets. Entering the
shad at the gill openings the cells suck
out the spawn and entrails, and leave
the fish perfectly clean. The finest and
latest shad are the ones selected. 1t
is curious circumstance that of q fish
so well known as the eel, so many of its
life habits should be in dispute. An
animated discussion has been going on
in Germany quite recently with regard
to the natural history of this fish, and
in a late number of a scientific journal
the following points are set down as
pretty well substantiated. Though q
fresh water fish which passes the great
er part of its life in rivers, the ell spawns
in the sea. That it is viviparous is ex-
tremely improbable. The eel found in
the upper waters of rivers is almost al
ways female At the age of four years
it goes down to the sea to spawn and
never returns TO fresh water. The
spawning process is somehow danger
Gus to the eel, thousands being found
dead near the mouths of the river, with
their ovaries empty. The descent of
the fish to the sea does not appear to
take place at any definite period, but is
probably dependent on the season for
spawning. The male is always much
smaller than the female, and never ex-
ceeds half yard in length. The males
never ascend to the head waters of
rivers, but keep continually in the sea
or in the lower reaches of the river.
Nothing is definitely known about the
spawning season, though it is probable
that the eggs are deposited in the sea
not far from the mouths of rivers

DANDELION GHOSTS.

The common flower that children love
All other common flowers above,
The dandelion bloom alas,
No longer stars the roadside grass,
But folds away its yellow robes;
And now myrid gauZy globes,
Gray gossamer ghosts, float everywhere,
Like bubbles blown along the air.
Dear homelike flower, which cheers Away
The dusty path of every day,
Even death is kind to thee and brings
Twin-gifts of liberty and wings;
Oh, peer of butterflies and bees,
Fair playmate of the wandering breeze
Methinks l would rejoice to be
A free and fetterless ghost like theel
No CHASTITY phantom, pale and stark,
Stalking, reproachful through the dark
To fright the souls which held me dear,
And mourned my loss with tear on tear;
And yet, at last-so hard to bear
Are loneliness and dull despair
Their pain of sore bereavement healed
With love more warm than ghosts can yield;
No specter, bringing woe and dread,
To blanch from timid lips the red
But such gentle ghost as might
Unchallenged come in fair daylight,
Unsoiled by dust, unwet by dew,
In fearless freedom strange and new
To sail serenely through the air
Uncaught, unhindered, everywhere.
No fate were happier than to be
An evanescent ghost like thee.
A mild returner from the dead
Which few would note. and none would dread;
To visit, not in grief or gloom,
The scenes which saw my early bloom
And mark how perfect and how fair
The world could be-and not therel
All, happy flower, that smilest through
Thy three bright days of sun and dew,
And then, when time DEGREES thy DOOM
Rlsest anew in rarer bloom.
A perfect sphere of daintiest white,
As soft as air, as still as light
Leaving these earthly damps of ours
To seek, perhaps, the heaven of flowers!
