There warn't any thing in all Kentuck that

started a bar-a regular shorter. He put

brought up the rear. They were soon out Of

came out at last on a clearing, where was II loo

A RoBhER's CAvE.--The Court Of Assiye
at Munich, Germany, was lately occupied with
the trial Of a band Of robbers who had for Soma
time back been committing a great number Of
robberies and several murders. What dis.
tinguished these men was that they lived to.
gether in the Gil Bias style. They inhabited a
vast cavern in the Scbilibinger Forest, the en-
trance to which was concealed by old trunks Of
trees. Two and twenty steps led to the cham
bers below, five in number, two of which were
twenty feet long by nine wide. In the kitchen
was placed q vast fire place, the chimney of
which issued in the midst of a thick clumpp Of
trees, and, through precaution, fire was only
lighted there by night. The robbers had also
| their stables and store-houses all under ground.
and at the end Of a long corridor there was
even found q sort of slaughter-house, where
they killed the animals which they required
for food. The court condemned five of the ae-
cused to death, and the Others, either to impri-
%sonment with hard labor, or to simple impri-
lsonment.

to which the gauging of the hooks is attached.
The whalebone serves to keep the hooks about
a foot apart, SO there is little danger of their be-
coming entangled with each other.
"The men arrange themselves on the wind
ward side of the deck, throw over their leads,
and unrecl their lines, till the lead rests on the
bottom. 1t is then drawn up so that the hook
will be on the bottom with the down pitch Of
the vessel, and with nippers drawn on their fin
gers to keep the line from cutting them, they
lean over on the bulwarks, patiently awaiting a
bite, which is known by u slight jerk on the
line. They then give a sudden pull, in order to
hook him, stand back and haul in the long line,
hand over hand, until the fish is hauled up to
the surface, when he is taken in on deck, I'M
hooked, and thrown into a square box, which
each man has fastened by his side, called a kid.
The hooks arc then baited and hove over again.
and the fisherman, while the line is running,
picks up the last fish and cuts out his tongue.
"Towards night, the fish are counted out from
the kids, each ones separately, and thrown into
q large kid near the main hatch, called the
= dressing kid They are counted aloud as they
are thrown along, and each man is required to
keep his own account and report to the skip
per at night, who keeps q separate account for
each man on the logg-booE. The d~ressing-gang,
consisting Of a 'throater,' Al header,' a splitter
and q s%salter,' now commence dressing down.
After passing through the hands Of the first
three, they assume somewhat the shape seen in
market. They are then passed down between
decks to the salter, who puts them up in ken
ches or layers, laying the first tier on the bot
tom of the hold, and building up with alternate
layers of salt and fish till the kench reaches the
desired height. The decks are then washed
down, sails taken in, and the vessels anchored
for the night"

THE PATRIOT.
GIVE.

See the rivers flowing
Downward to the sea,
Pouring all their treasures
Bountiful and free
Yet, to help their giving,
Hidden springs arise.
Or, if need be, showers
Feed them from the skies!
Watch the princely flowers
Their rich fragrance spread,
Load the air with perfumes
From their beauty she'd
Yet their lavish spending
Leaves them not in dearth,
With fresh life replenished
By their mother earth.
Give thy hearts best treasures !;
From fair Nature learn
Give thy love, and ask not,
Wait not, a return!
And the more thou spendest
From thy little store,
With a double bounty,
God will give thee more!
