nireetions for Piscienlture.

There are many fine brooks of good
water all over the country yet how
few there are that furnish respeeta-
BILE or eatable fish for the table When
the country was comparatively new,
and wooded along the streams, the
fresh or soft waters had an abundance
perished by the sports mans hook,
but by the wOOdman's axe; the sun
has been let in and warmed the waters
too much for them. Now we must
either cultivate this variety-the best
that ever grew-Or give it up. Can it
be successfully done? We say yes,
and that too not only as a benefit to
supply the table with, but an Orna-
ment of permanent nature to the
farm.
If you have a fair brook that never
dries up, ofsoftspring water, that runs
through your pasture or medOw lands,
take one month with team and hand,
any time in the summer, and make a
series of dams on the brook, so that
the outflow of one is a rod or so above
the flow of the other, with an average
depth of from three to four feet. Con-
tinue this system of dams as far as
your land extends; or far enough to
give sufficient water room. When
you have them completed, permanent,
set each side of your stream with su-
gar maple trees. Set them about 10
feet apart in the row, that they may
soon shade the stream. At the end OF
fifteen years every other one should
be taken out to give room to the 9TH
ers. This will in time give a fine su-
gar bush on land that will give the
most and richest sap, furnish a cool
shade for fish and cattle, and just in
the right place, where the cattle come
to drink. This will make rough un-
eouth stream the most beautiful and
productive part of the farm, and will
add to the value of the farm ten times
the cost.
Fish to stock with.-If there are
trout in your stream, you will need no
other kinds; they will run into, and
not much out of your dams. If you
have none in your stream, you should
be very careful to get the genuine
brook trout; there are said to be some
80 varieties of the salmon family
The time to procure them is about the
1st of October; then you can distin-
guish the males from the females
The females will spawn here about
the first of November. They will
stand transportation better in cool
weather. would not advise to mix
other varieties of fish with brook
trout; the sucker would be the least
objectiOnable.-COUHtTy Gentleman.

Cane Cod Women.

Nowhere else in all New England
will one see so high an average of fe-
male beauty of figure and hair and
skin, as among the young girls Of one
Of the peninsular towns on Sunday,
and in no place is the change prOduc-
ed by the lapse of years, from twenty
to thirty, so painful and obvious. OF
the rounded, complete matronly beau
ty of the second span of married life,
one may look without seeing a single
instance. The cause of this is not far
off, and suggests itself ct once, to one
who sees the congregations of women
with here and there an old, sick man
among them, and then Skips all the
years of active life down to early child
hood before he finds the male sex
again represented. For it is true that
in the fishing season there are no men
or boys on shore, and if you go among
the group of bright, happy girls who
do not remember the cloud that hang
above them, YOU will find that nine
out of ten of them look forward to
union with one who is now away, and
who expects to spend his life fishing
in the summer, and coasting in the
winter. Now imagine one of them
sitting in her little home, two years
married, with her baby in the cradle,
and the northeaster bowling without.
She knows too well that at that mo-
ment he may be struggling in the
breakers while the Highland light
that she can see glares down pitiless-
ly upon his agony; for she has only to
climb spur of land just behind her
house to see the skeleton of a ship
from which the cruel waves tore the
desperate hand-hold months ago, and
left the husband and father to sink in
sight of his own home, without a
friend to aid. The grave-stOnes in the
ehurchyard will not let her stand be-
tween them, even for moment, for
they tell her how in n single night
sixty-seven women of one little town
were left widowed and desOlate. Ifshe
will stay in her house and shut out the
suggestions of peril, she must still look
out, and sees coming down the street,
one whose lover sailed away years and
years ago, and has since been missing.
His vessel was seen going out by the
Race, bottom up, and when they told
this poor woman all they knew, she
pressed her hands to her forehead, and
east her glance out upon the waters,
over which she has since waited for
his return. When a vessel arrives she
hurries to the landing, and nothing
doubling for the long disappointment,
waits and watches to the end. How
little can we wonder, then, at this
premature decay, when we remember
that to the inevitable sorrows of a
woman's lot, in whatever station,
these others intense and perpetual,
are eadded.-SDriRqtield Republican.

One of the most ingenious modes Of

One of the most ingenious modes of
winning a husband ever practiced,
was that by which the wife of Frere-
Orban, the Belgian diplomatist who
is engineering his little country thro'
the troublesome railroad difficulties in
France, won him when her father OBJ
jected seriously to his proposals, The
lady was heiress to the house of Or
ban, in which there was unlimited
money. Her father regarded Frere
as an adventurer, as, indeed, he had
at that time only just passed his ex-
animation for the bar. The young
lady invited him to come to the box
at the opera where she and her father
were together, and, when he entered,
she arose and kissed him, in full view
of the whole audience. After that
they never heard her father make
any more objections to their marriage,
and he, taking their family name,
became Frere-Orban.

Gem. Lee,s wish 10 ARLINGTON.

We take the following extract from
the Washington correspondeneetO the
Cincinnati Commercial.
One dreary fOggy morning, late last
autumn, gentleman, unattended,
rode up and dismounted near the
house. he was a man of military ap-
pearance although in civilians dress,
save the army cloak he carried, and the
spurs that ratified at his heels. His face
furrOwed with care, and his hair and
beard white as snow, indicated more
age than his form, which was erect
and his movements, which were re-
markabIy firm and active, although
measured and dignified.
Visitors to this noted place are so
frequent that his appearance attracted
no attention. He walked through the
dreary hall, and looked in on the wide
vacant rooms, and passing to the front,
stood for some time gazing out over
the beautiful panorama, with its one
great feature, the new dome of the old
capitol, surmOunted by bronze stat
ute of Liberty armed, with her back
to him gazing seaward.
From this he passed to the garden and
looking over the line of officers graves
that bound its sides, saw the dying
flowers, and wilted borders, and half
strewn walks, and continuing after a
slight pause, he stopped on the edge
of the fields, where the sixteen thous-
and Union soldiers lie buried in lines,
as if they had laid down after a review,
to be inferred in theirplace. Some ne
grOes were at work here taking up the
fallen leaves and one old man stopped
and stared at the visitor as
If struck with mute astOnishment.-
He continued to gaze in this way un-
til the gentleman, walking slowly, re-
gained his horse and rode away, when
he dropped his hoe and said to his
"Shur as de Lord, men, dat was ole
Lee. "
One hastens to imagine the thoughts
and feelings that must have agitated
this fallen chief as he stood thus, like
Marius amOung the ruins of Carthage,
on the one spot of all others, to re-
alize the fact of the Lost Cause, and
its eventful history. About him were
the scenes of his yOuth-the home of
his honored manhOOd-the scenery
that gave beauty to the peaceful joys
of domestic life. They were nearly all
the same and yet between then and
now came the fierce war, the huge
and hundred battles, loud
with the roar of mOuthing cannOns
and rattling muskets, and stained into
history by the blood of Thousands; the
smoke of burning houses, the devasta-
ton of wide state S, and the deSOlatiOn
Ofthe household and all in vain. He
so fiercely struggled for
unrecognized, the great Confederacy
dream, his home agraveyard, and the
Capitol he sought to destroy grown to
twice its size, with the bronze God
dess gazing calmly to the East.

The Crime and the Folly of Suicide.

You can not do with your life what
you will it is given for a purpose ;
you are accountable. But the uncOn-
verted MAINLAND upon this subject
there are large numbers ofprOfOundly
religious men who are uncOnverted-
unconsciOusly, perhaps, regards life
as right. MY life is my own" he
says. "It has been given to me with
out my asking for it and if am dis
satisfied with it, / certainly have the
right to give it up" Practically, most
men have some hazy notion Of this
kind; though many would shrink
from accepting the stated formula
They are not shocked by the guilt of
man. who, as they hear, has shot him
self to get rid of the hideous tOrtures
of a cruel and irremediable dis.
ease. They say: "HOw could you
insist on that poor wretch drag
ging on day after day through the
keenest pain, with nothing before him
but the prospect of years of slow and
acute suffering" Less sympathy is
expended on the more common form
of suicide, In which a certain man
browns himself because a woman will
notmarry him, or in which q GER
tain woman browns herself be-
cause her husband or lover has be-
come faithless. This blunder is COM
mitted solely through the man or
woman not being able to measure the
proportions of the accidents of life
There never was a man or woman
worth cutting ones throat for, much
as young poets have written of the
delight of dying at the feet of some
perhaps not very intellectual or beau
tiful young person. The man who
STILES himself with charcoal fumes
merely because a certain girl refuses
to be his wife, is merely unable, at a
time of temporary frenzy, to measure
the length of life, and see what, after
all, are the necessary things of exist
ence, the necessary things to make it
bearable and pleasant. You may call
this incapacity, folly, or insanity, as
you please it certainly betokens eth
er immaturity or want of mental Wis
ion. So, also, is he a fool or a mad
man, who, with his disgestion remain
ing, cuts his throat because his money
departs. To put the case on its very
lowest sis,-excluding notions of
moral duty and respOnsibility,-it
may DC s1lu lAAdL VIC Ncln ~ IL yeilAAALC
greatly with the man who flies from
life to escape unbearable physical tor
lures that we sympathiZe less with
one who flies life because he imagines
that a certain woman is the only wo-
man who can possibly make his fu-
ture life worth having; and that we
can scarcely sympathize at all with
the man, who, because he has lost
money, shoots himself, and wantonly
relinquishes the pleasures of friend
ship, love, eating, drinking and sleep
ing. 1t may be answered that he is
disguised because he has been depriv-
ed of the means of obtaining these
pleasures but it is absurd, because
people without farthing in any bank
whatever, do enjoy these pleasures,
and find life a wonderful treasure
throuOh them --LOn0Od RegielD.

A Very Plain Talk from DR.. Trng.

Rev. DR.. Tying has a tartness OF ex-
preston that challenges attention,
and this is especially the case when
he ventures on any subject remotely
touching the ROmanistic tendencies
of the High Church people. He made
a speech in New York, the other night
| to n Protestant Association, from
which we have room for this rather
! pointed extract:
''HerodOtus. the greatest historian
of Greece, in giving an accounts of his

is with the great mass ofmen who are
endeavOring to make Papists of them
selves. They grow out of the mud, and
while they keep up their little drOn-
ing noises, their hind legs are kicking
still and trying to get out. / have the

4 "Deaf and Dumb Female" Los eS
her Heart and Finds her Voice.


Two weeks ago a female, who has
been for the last few years engaged in
selling her photographs on the cars,
and who has for that length Of time
been considered deaf and dumb, came
to this city and stopped at the Drull-
ard House. She made known all her
wants by writing, and no doubts were
entertained by those connected with
the hotel but that she was really
minus the powers of speaking and
hearing. On the Sunday following
her arrival at that hotel, one Frank
Shaffer, who has been acting porter to
the Drullard House, accompanied her
to the Vale Cemetery. 1t was very
kind in Shaffer to take poor deaf
and dumb female under his protecting
wing and endeavor to make her time
pass agreeably. Subsequent facts go
to prove, however, that while the
couple fingered meath the shades of
that beautiful locality, they werenotas
silent as the silent tomb. Thursday
last shewent down street, IN company
with little girl, to purchase some
goods. On her way she either inten-
tiOnally or otherwise spoke to the
little girl VINO was muCQ dlarIneu 10
hear her do so. She quieted the little
ones fears, and assured her that she
had never. been lacking the gift of
speech. But here comes the best of
the story. The woman and the porter
left yesterday morning on the ten
o'clock train west. They were mar
ried before they went, and intended to
go to Michigan, buy a farm and settle
down upon it. Before they left she
handed her newly made protector a
large some of money, and seemed to
have plenty besides. The woman's
name was Emeline Sheppard-now
Emeline Shaffer. Her appearance
was proposing, and her manners easy
and graceful, and well calculated to
work upon strangers pocketbOok.-
When charged with being an impos-
tor, she pleasantly said she had never
asked anybody to give her anything
that she had merely presented herself
and made signs, and if such actions
had put money in her pockets, why;
she wasn'to be blamed.
