﻿256 PICTORIAL MISCELLANY. 



But far beyond the rainbow clouds, 

 That danced with fairy glee, 



And far beyond the setting sun 

 Was little Harry Lee. 



I knew that to the Saviour's breast 

 The tirnid dove might flee ; 



For I had heard that Jesus said, 

 " Let children come to me." 



So on my cousin's lowly grave 

 I bowed the trembling knee, 



And prayed that I in heaven might live 

 With little Harrv Lee. 



Intelligence in a Fish, 



AT a recent meeting of the Liverpool Philosophical Society, Dr. 

 Warwick related an extraordinary instance of intelligence in a fish. 

 When he resided at Durham, the seat of the Earl of Stamford and 

 Warrington, he was walking one evening in the park, and came to 

 a pond where fish intended for the table were temporarily kept. He 

 took particular notice of a fine pike, about six pounds' weight, which, 

 when it observed him, darted hastily away. In so doing, it struck 

 its head against a tenterhook in a post (of which there were several 

 in the pond, placed to prevent poaching,) and as it afterwards ap- 

 peared, fractured its skull, and turned the optic nerve on one side. 

 The agony evinced by the animal appeared most horrible. It rushed 

 to the bottom, and boring its head into the mud, whirled itself round 

 with such a velocity that it was almost lost to the sight for a short 

 interval. It then plunged about the pond, and at length threw itself 

 completely out of the water on the bank. He (the doctor) went and 

 examined it, and found that a very small portion of the brain was 

 protruding from the fracture in the skull. The fish remained still 

 for a short time, and he then put it again into the pond. It appeared 

 at first a deal relieved ; but in a few minutes it again darted and 

 plunged about, until it threw r itself out of the water a second time..
