Use OF FISH IN CIsTERNs AND WELLS
In a letter from Levi Burned of Loraln
county, Ohio, to the editor of the OHIO Cul.
,ivator, we find the following
Those who are troubled with angle worms
in their wells, as some are in sandy or grav-
ely districts in the State, may be profited
by suggestion which will perhaps save
them some trouble of pumping out the wa
ter. Catch small fish "a brook trout is
preferably and put it into the well. He
will devour all the worms and falten on
them, without at all injnring the sweetness
or the purity Of The water, and If any are
afraid he wilI die, they can, after while
bait hook and take him for the frying pan,
and supply his place with another.
Again: have had ci>tesn Of perfectly
clear rain water all SIMMER, free from all
wrgglers, embryo mnsqnitos, by merely
dropping in a few rain-brook fishes, one to
three inches long. The little fellows seem
to have prospered finely and are quite
sprghlly this winter. If they live through,
presume they will perform the same useful
service for me next summer if not, the
children can easily Soup up enough more
in almost any of the little streams in the
pasture or elsewhere. So much for my
experience. Ii these hints prove servicea-
BILE to others it will give me much pleasure.

Here Mr. Norton almost resolved 10 show
himself. He felt il breach of honor TO hear
what evidently was a secret but his inter.
est in the fair Emily was so strong that he
excused himself on that plea aud remained
silent.
Helen made the required promise and
Emily proceeded.
sYou remember hearing the death of my
uncle hurry last summer. He failed just
before, so that his family we're left destitute.
Catherine the eldest daughter has been at
Mrs. Wizards school for the last year, and
she was very DESTROYS OF remaining another
term when Mrs. Willard would engage her
as a teacher. She considered her as one Of
the lines, sc'ioi \ ii wss-yot possible for her
mother TO continue sucn an expense, and
my father said he could not Offer TO do it I'M
less we could make some retrenchment in our
domestic affairs. Therefore, | offered TO
wear my cloak another season, and TO give
little Julia music lessons instead of her having
teacher. Now do you think that was not
sufficient motive assure you | have
felt more pleasure in wearing that old cloak
than | shonld done had possessed one even

poor cousin will be able to support herself
and assist her mother in educating her BROTH
ers and sisters.
That's just like yourself Emily ex-
claimed her friend enthusiastically. Il only
wish could tell of it. How ashamed Caro-
line Howard would be out of all her i'll ma
tured speechesf
1t is needless to say that there was another
auditor who shared in the admiration of Hell
en-. MIR. Norton was 50 delighted with tho
simple recital Of Emily that he Ionged TO clasp
her to his heart and Il :r ~. that his happi-
ness depended on her alone. He saw the
young ladies take their departure and few
moments after FASTENED away, forgetting his
aunt and all her commissions, and leaving
the miliner lost in asionishment at his alb
rupt departures lie reached Mr.. Harwood's
almost as soon as Emily herself, and aston
shed her by warm defamation of his feel

was soon after announced that Emily lIar-
wood and Mr. Norton were engaged, much
10 the establishment of Miss LA Mode and
Caroline Howard, who could not understand
why she was preferred to themselves.
Mrs. Hinton was delighted with Mr.. Nor.
tons choice, and predicted that he won't
have pattern wife. She never forgot heI
good resolution, but her persuasion was los
on her fiicnd Caroline-who was, however
soon forced by the failure of her father to re-
nounce her ex,ravagant habits.
We must do Mr. Norton the justice to sa,

soon after marriage - means by which he
obtained a knowledge sof her motives 10,
wearing the old cloak, which was ever afIel
preserved as precious relic. | can assure
you my readers that she did not blame hin
very severely and should this tale evel

ny GEO. w. CUTTER.

Harness me down with your iron bands,
BE sure Of the curb and regn
For l scorn the power of your punny hands,
As the tempest scorns a chain.
How l laughed rs lay concealed from sight,
For many countless hour,
At the childish boast OF human might,
Add the pride of human power.
When saw an army upon the land
A navy upon the sens,
Creeping along a snail-lke band,
Or waiting The Maynard breeze;
When marked the peasant family reel
With the toll which he daily bore,
As ho feebly turned the tardy wheel,
Or tugged at the weary oar;-
When measured the painting courser's speed,
The flight OF the courier dove,
As they bore the law a king dacreod,
Or the lines of impatient love:
could not but think how the world would feel,
As these were outstrlpp'd afar,
When should be bound to the rushing keel,
Or chained 10 the flying car.
Ha! ha ha! they found me at last,
They invited me forth at length,
And rush'd TO my throne with thunder blast,
And laughed in my iron strength.
Oh then we saw wonderous change
On the earth and the ocean wide,
Where now my fiery armies range,
Nor wait for wind or lidc.
Hurrah hurrah! The water DER,
The mountains steep decline,
space-have yielded to my power
The world the world is mine
The rivers, the sun hath earliest best,
Or those where his beams decline;
The giant streams OF the qneenly west,
Or the orient floods divine:
The ocean pales where'er sweep.
To hear my strength rejoice.
And the monsters of the briny deep,
Cover trembling at my voice.
