THE CALEDONIA TROUT POND.

One of the greatest curioSities of Western
New York-we may almost say one of the
greatest in the worlds the trout breeding
establishment Of Seth Green, in Caledonia,
in Livingston county, to which we paid
brief visit last week. His house and ponds
are on the border of the stream called the
Caledonia Springs, which flow in a vast vol
ume of the purest water from a small hol-
low in the village of Caledonia, and after a
course of mile unites in the village of
Mumford with Aliens creek, one of the
| tributaries of the Genesee. The country
I through which it flows is thickly settled,
1 aud one of the richest and best farming
1 towns in the State The surface of the land
/ is quite level. with hanks but little above the
/ surface of the water. The stream, some
places, is very rapid, and in others has a
gentle current Of mile or more per hour.
The Springs, as now situated, cover about
six acres, being damned slightly for mining
purpose. They afford about eighty barrels
Of water per second, aud make a creek from
three to four rods vide, and from eighteen
inches to six feet deep, according to the cur
rent The bottom was covered with small
white shells and gravel The water is clear,
pure and perfectly transparent, so that any
object can be seen for three or four rods
very distinctly. Its temperature at the
Springs is forty-eight degrees the whole
year round, but down the creek. three-quar-
ters of a mile, it rises in the hottest days in
summer to hfty- eight degrees by night, but
it is down in the morning to ffty-two de-
grees. In winter it settles st times to forty
three degrees, but generally keeps up to
forty-fYe or forty-six degrees The temper
ature of the water to Allen creek is very
even the year round, but very cold in sum-
mer and quite warm in the winter, never
freezing in the cOldest weather.
The water through the whole length of
the creek, as well as every stone, stick, weed
and blade of grass, is alive and literally COW
cred with numerous insects and larvae of
flies, summer and winter, so that the trout,
however numerous they are, easily obtain
all the food they want at all times OF the
year. There is but very little surface water
that makes into tile creek, hence the volume
of water is very even. The first settlers
Of The country found the creek literally fill
ed with trout of great size and beauty, and
it has remained so to this day, notwithstand-
ing it has been almost constantly ished, might

A TRUE GENTLEMAN.

He is above mean thing. He cannot
stoop to mean fraud. He invades no se-
cret in the keeping of another He takes
selfish advantage of no man s mistake. lie
is ashamed of inuendoes. He uses no igno-
bic weapons in controversy. He never stabs
in the dark. He is not one thing to imam s
face and another to his back. Ifby accident
he comes into possession of his neighbor's ;
counsels, he passes upon them instant obliv-
ion. He bears sealed packages without
tampering with the wax. Papers not meant
for his eye. whether they futter in at his
window or lie open before him in unregardcd
exposure, are sacred to him. He profanes
no privacy Of others, however the sentry
sleeps. Bolts and bars, locks and KEYS,
bonds and securities, notice to trespassers,
are not for him. He may be trusted out of
eight iieaI tlsS IhIunent P~-A:.;on--an1-
where. He buys no Office, he sells none, in
trigues for none He would rather fail of
his rights than win them through dishonor.
He viii eat honest bread. He tramples on
no ser tive feeling. He insults no man.
Ifhe has a rebuke for another, he IS straight
forward, open and manly. He cannot de-
scend to scurriliy. Billingsgate don't lie on
his track. OF woman, and to her, he speaks
with decency and respect In short, what
ever he judges honorable he practices to-
ward eYery man.

SPIRIT VISITANTs.
BY HENRY W. 1oxeFELLow.


When the hours of day are numbered,
And the voices of the night
Wake the better soul that slumbered,
To holy, calm delight
Ere the evening lamps are lighted
And, like phantoms grim and tall,
Shadows from the ftful ire-light
Dance upon the parlor wall
Then the forms of the departed
Enter at the open door
The beloved, the true hearted
Comes to visit me once more.
He, the young and strong, who cherished
Noble longings for the strife,
BY the roadside fell and perished,
Weary with the march of life.
They, the holy ones and weakly,
Who the cross of suffering bore,
Folded their pale hands so meekly,
Spake with US on earth no more
And with them, the being beautious,
Who unto my youth was given,
More than all those else that love me,
And is now saint in heaven.
With slow and noiseless footstep
Comes that messenger divine
Takes the vacant chair beside me,
Lays her gentle hand in mine.
And she sits and gazes at me,
With those deep and tender eyes,
Like the stars so still and saint-ike,
Looking downward from the skies.
Uttered not, yet comprehended,
Is the spirits voiceless prayer;
Soft rebukes, in blessings ended,
Breathing from her lips Of air.
o, though oft depressed and lonely,
Ali my fears are laid aside
If l but remember only
Such as these have lived and died.

BE EcoNoMICAI.-If the poor house has
any terrors for you never buy what you
don't need, Before you pay seventy-fye
dollars for a coat, young man, find outwheth-
er your lady would not be just as glad to
see you in one that cost half the money. 1t
she would not let her crack her own hazle-
nuts aud buy her own clothes. When you
see man spending two or three dollars a
week foolishly, the chances are five to one
that he willlive long enough to know how
he's pretty sure to bequeath that privilege
to his widow. When man asks you to
buy that for which you have no use, no
matter how cheap it is, don't say yes until
you are sure that some one else wants it in
advance. Money burns in some folks pock-
cts, and makes such big hole that every
thing that is put in drops through past find

THE UNCHANGING FRIEND.

Is there more frequent cause of COM
plant than the changes which come over
our earthly affairs? Where is the being
who, In the course of his life, has not found
reason to reiterate the words, Whom can
we trust2" We know not, when we give our
respect, our friendship, our confidence to a
human being that the compact may last for
an hour. A change Of fortune, a rise in
rank, slight fault, or even a whim, may
send our affections back into our wounded
hearts
A concurrence of circumstances which
could not have been foreseen by us is always
ready to betray our dependence on arrange
ments which we fancied had been laid in
reflection and sagacity, as we walked on in
the fond belief having done well for our
selves. So that, though sorely needing a
safe anchorage, frail and exposed beings as
we are, we often find ourselves on shifting
sands or nearing fatal rocks.
To whom, then, shall we go, when our
own resources fail TO meet our necessities,
and our friends sympathize, but are power
less to avert failure2
To whom, then, shall we go, but to him
who is touched with the feeling of our mfr
mites, and who alone can offer a security of
refuge which meets our helplessness to the
utmost; an unchanging and Interchangeable
friend-"Jesus Christ, the same yesterday,
and to day and forever ZELL
