Cultivation of Fishes.

In n paper from the Patent Office, pub
lished in the National Inteligencer, it is
suggested that the fishes of many varieties
| not now known to them, might be intro
duced into the waters of this country, by
means of transferring the spawn from one
| locality TO another. The mullet of the Gar
onne would he valuable in the Potomac, aud
| also the Sardine. The trout and salmon Of
the Rhine and its waters would answer
| further north turbot and sole for the Jersey
waters; aud trout, carp and salmon for north
| of the Delaware. The carp it is known was
introduced into the waters Of the Hudson.
The golden carp was introduced into pond
near the same river. The breaking Of a dam
caused these fish to be swept into the Hud-
son, where they now exist in tolerable abun-
dance. To a similar accident we are indebt-
ed to lis presence in the Schuylkill. Mr..
Pratt used to have them in pond on Lemon
lilJ, whence they were washed into the
river, and are now caught by the boys in
abundance. The smelt, now abundant in
Jamaica pond, near Boston, did originally
exist there, but was carefully transported
either from Europe or from some section Of
this country. Salmon and shad were former
ly found in the Merrimac and the latter in
Lake Winnipiscogee and its tributaries but,
since the establishment Of manufactures at
Lowell, and the consequent dammlng OF the
river, these fishes have disappeared from all
the upper waters; while, on the other hand,
the opening of communication between Lake
Erie and the Hudson has introduced to that
lake and its accessories eels and perhaps
other fish not previously found there The
same result has also been experienced in
Lake Ontario since its connection with Lake
Eric by means Of the Walland canal The
officers of the navy on foreign service could
have assigned them the duty Of collecting
varieties Of fish not known TO the watess Of
the United States
Mr.. Peel Of SGugertcs, New York, has
shad, carp tench, goldfish, &c, in the ponds
on his estate, and so well are they protected
from molestation Of any kind, that upon the
appearance Of persons at the margin Of the
waters, they approach TO receive food from
their hands. This gentleman, it is said has
sturgeon seven feet long, and when he wants
a sail on his pond, he harnesses this sturgeon,
attaching line and cork feat to the traces.
The sturgeon will swim with the utmost
speed around the pond several times, keep
ing near the shore. Then he will suddenly
stop, rise to the surface of the water, and
turn up its back. thus indicating its exhausted
condition.-Iedger.

MY NATIVE VILLAGE.
By JOHN HOWARD BRYANT.

There lies village in peaceful vale,
With sloping hills and waving woods
around,
Fenced from the blast. There never ruder
gale
Bows the tall grass and covers all the
And planted shrubs are there, and cherished
flowers.
And brightest verdure born Of gentle showers.
Twas there my young existence was begun :
My earliest sports were on its 1owery
ground:
And often, when my school-boy task was
I climbed its hills to view the pleasant
scene.
And stood and gazed till the Guns setting
ray
Shone on the hcight-the sweetest of the
day.
There, when that hour Of mellow light was
come,
And mountain shadows cooled the ripened
grain,
/ watched the weary yeoman podding home
In the lono path that winds across the
TO rest his limbs, and watch his child at
play,
Ard tell him DER the labors OF the day.
And when the woods put on their autumn
glow,
And the bright sun came in among the
trees,
And leaves were gathered in the glen below,
Swept softly from the mountain by the
breeze,
| wandered. till the starlight on the stream,
At length awoke me from my fairy dream.
'Ah happy days, too happy to return,
Fled on tho wings of youths departed
years:
bitter lesson has been mine to learn,
The truth of life, its labors, pains, and fears
Yet does the memory Of my boyhood stay;
A twilight Of the brightness passed away
My thoughts steal back to that sweet village
still
Its flowers and peaceful shades before me
rise:
The play-placs and the prospect from the
hill,
Its summer verdure and autumnal dyes:
The present brings its storms but while
they last,
shelter me in the delightful past
