For the Register.
IN MEMORY.


MEMORY.
Mark each Southern hero's grave,
Where glory guards with silent tread,
Near where Potomac's waters lave,
There sleep our saiRted martyr dead.
They are fame's, and fame is theirs,
Their memory ours, country's pride,
And while IN sadness fall our tears;
Joy for the cause in which they died.
The battle shock is felt no more.
Nor heard the warriors bugle blast;
But glory sheens the record Ger
Our country's proud and glorious past.
Then come, and sweetest anthems sing;
Come, at the summers vesper hours,
Come maidens, and sweet offerings bring;
And strew each hero's grave with flowers.

The NEAREST WAY HoME.-Such is
the inscription painted on sigh over
the door of a drinking saloon in New
York. Yes, it is the nearest way to
poverty, the nearest way to shame, the
nearest way to beggary, the nearest
way to infamy, the nearest way to the
workhouse, the nearest way to the pri-
son, the nearest way to the scaffold,
the nearest way to degradation, the
nearest way to eternal ruin, the near

man, beware Of going the nearest way.

that way.

four or five of the country members
having left the room meanwhile, thus
preventing Il quorum, and the transac-

tie strange that men who accept posi-

creant to their duty, as to impede the
wheels of government If these gen

FISH CULTURE. large class of nat
uralists and practical, though philo
sophical men have, within few years,
given earnest attention to the culture
of fish. Absurd endeavors have been
made to cast ridicule and even odium
upon their labors. No greater mistake
c ,uld be made. Any experiments that
result in the abundant production of
fish are an absolute benefit to the hui
man race. Furthermore, the increase
of this species of food entails no alb
sorption of other edible productions.
Brought forth in the waters, they con-
sumo nothing that we can turn to any
profit except by using them. We can
not have too many fish, nor too much
encourage the multiplication of them.
If every one alternated his meals of
