to the cellar process of trout breeding:
"During the past winter, Mr.. T.. c. Kell-

the spawn from the female. and placing it in
his box. lie then filled the box with Com

are not allowed to range among the fry. The
little ones of a week old have all the charac-
teristics Of the old fish, and they will dart
under stone with great rapidity when the
water is stirred up little Our popular wa
ter-works are constantly developing now
sources of commerce, not tho least of which
is that which furnishes good supply of trout.

And look with pride the iron sieed
With fiery lungs, and breath Of steam
The jostng. crovding, rushing ahead,
And scolding, iretting, all in rage

OF turnpike roads and the old mail-stoge.

The praneing steeds, and the brisk approach,
The mellow horn, and the merry load
That used to ride in the old stage coach
The old stage-coach. in It's golden day.
Rolled proudly on. with iis cheerful load,
And claimed from all the full right Of way,

But the day Of iis pride is DER,
It yields the palm to the railway train;
The dear old lrend SO beloved Of yore,

Each idlcr reused with It's noisy din;
With cracking whip how It briskly rolled.
With conscious pride, to the village inn
But now ii stands in the stahc-yard
With musty seats and rusty tire,
And we this friend Of our youth discard,
For railway cars and a stecd Of fire;
Yet give me the days Of the turnpike road

The old stage came as IL held the sway,

TIE FIRST FLOWERS.

Br join q. WHITTIER.
For ages on our river bordars
These ;asscls IN thoi. tawny bloom,
And willowy stads Of dowuy silver,
Have prophecied Of Spring to come.
For ages have the unbound waters
Smiled on them for their pebbly hcm
And the clear carol Of the robin
Aud song Of blue-bird welcomed them.
But never yet from smiling river,
Or song Of carly bird, have they
Been greeted with gladdcr welcome
Than whispers from my heat to-day.
They break the spell of cold and darkness,
The weary watch Of slecpless pain
And from my heart as from the river,
The ice Of winter mcts again.
Thanks, Mary Tor this wildwood token
or Freya's footsteps drawing near
Almost as ia the rune Of Asgard,
The growing Of the grass hear.
It's as II the rinc-treos callodme
From coiled room and silent books,
To see the dance Of woodland shadows,
And hear the song Of April brooks
As, in the old Teutonic ballad
OF Odeuwald live bird and tree.
Forever li'r ia song aud beauty,
So link my thought these flowers and thee.
The small birds track, the tiny rain-drop,
Forever mark the primal rock;
Who know. but that these idle verses
May leave some trace by Artichokel
And naidens in the far-olf twilights
Repeat my words 10 breeze aud stream,

A1UWNUN.-Thc metal aluminium. with
tho general properties of which the majority
Of persons are most probably familiar. and
which promises soon to become an article of
manufacture. was first isolated bv the well
known chemist, Wochlcr: and although to
him belongs the honor Of having first laid
the metallic base of alumina before the scien-
tigc world, yet it is without doubt owing 90
the recent researches and publications of the
French chemist Deville, upon the same met-
al, that the generality of persons are indebted
for the knowledge they possess of some of
the most characteristic properties of alumni
UNI. This metal combined with oxygen. or.
in other words, in an oxydized state, in which
1t forms the well known substance called al
umina, is found very abundantly in nature-a
fact which is very evident, when we reflect
that this earth exists in all claws. in felspar
and that it is often found in the pure state
Aluminium has heretofore been prepared by
heating the chloride of aluminium with potas-
stun; this latter substance being converted
into vapor docomposes the chloride of alumni
um, and the mass upon being washed leaves
the aluminium. BY this method the metal
was obtained with great difficulty, and in
small quantity, so that not long since one
pound of alminum was valued at near 5000.
