A FEW PLAIN WORDS.

We occasionally hear fan exci.able
democrat here in the North who IL ut
ters threats Of what may happen if
matters do not eventually go to his
liking. and who "fee!s in his heart
that Tilden is elected" 1t would be
well for the democratic party if such
persons would for the present keep
silence. The country does not forget
that in 1860 similar threats were made
by democrats, and that in 1861 the
greater par, of that party attempted In
violent manner to overturn the re-
suits of fair election. Nothing can
Ge more damaging to the democratic
party, or can more quickly deprive
it Of all public sympathy, than the ut
terance of foolish and perfectly vain
threats. The country is not just now
in 4 temper to bear with such things.
The election is not yet lawfully de-
cided it will not be until the return
ing boards in the disputed States have
done what the laws in those States
command them TO do. It will take
some time ~ complete tho investiga-
lions prescribed by tho laws; srd
What, in the meantime. any enc may
feel in his heart" is not evidence
and is Of 10 importance. Measures
turning boards conduct their investi-
cations fairly; in New Orleans lead

republicans 70 council for joint &C
ton, which is c:nirently proper, and
at this stage of the business 10 one
has right to say that foul play will

Moreover, if the laws and the men
who execute them are bad in such
States as Louisiana, we beg the dem

member how thsy became so. 1!
they had ACCEPTED their defeat in 1861

South. Thousands of lifelong repub- |
licans hero nave voted against their |
party on this Southern question alone. !

leans regret their votes. Tho laws

MISCELLANY.


Perhaps those interested in our brook fishes
are somewhat inclined to learn what was the
result of fishing the south branch of the Ne
shanic with fine-mesh net on the sixteenth
of September, 1875. In order to satisfy our
selves in regard to this matter, on the second
day of September, 1876 we fished this stream
with a net, whose meshes correspond to the
one used on the previous occasion, from the
line which divides the lands of Alavison Cham
berlain and William B. Prall to point in the
rvulet in front of E. ]. Strong's. We regard
this section of the rivulet about half of that
portion of the stream fished on the 10th of
September, 1875, and we think the result of
our work fair exhibit of the relatively of the
species of which we expect to speak.
here append table prepared for me by
Cyrus Trego, one of the students at this labora-
tory.

POETRY.



Soft falls through the gathering twilight
The rain from the dripping caves,
And stirs from trcmuious rustic
The dead and the dying leaves;
While altar, in the midst Of the shadows,
hear the sweet voices OF bells;
Come borne on the wind OF the autumn,
That ftfuly rises and swells.
They call and they answer each other
They answer and mlngle again
As the deep and the shrill in an anthem
Make harmony still in their strain
As the voices of sentneis mfnglc
In mountainous regions Of snew.
Till from hill top to hill top chorus
Floats down to the regions below.
The shadows, the frclight Of even,
The sound Of the rains distant chime,
Come bringing, with rain softly dropping,
Sweet thoughts VI shadowy time
The slumberous sense of seclusiou,
From storm and intruders aloof,
We feel when we hear in the midnight,
The pattcr Of rain on the roof.
When the spirit goes forth In liz ycarnings.
To take all her wanderers home;
Or afar in the regions of fancy.
Delights on swift pinions to roam,
quietly sit by the frelight--
The freight so bright and so warm
For know that those only who love me
viii seek me through shadow and storm.
But should they be absent this evening,
Should even the household depart
Deserted, should not be lonely,
There would still be guests in my heart.
The faces of friends that cherish,
The SMILE the glance and the tone,
Will haunt me wherever l wander,
And thus am never a lone.
With those who have left far behind them
The joys and the sorrows of time
Who sing the sweet songs of the angels
In purer and holier cline!
Then darkiy, y evening of autumn,
Your rain and your shadows may fall;
My loved and nv lost ones you bring me-
My heart holds feast with them all.

FASHIONABLE DEMONSTRATION kills more
women than toll and sorrow. Obedience to
fashion is greater transgressicn of the laws
of woman's nature a greater injury to her
physical and mental constitution, than pow
erty and neglect. The slave woman at her
task will live and grow old, and see two or
three generations of her mistresses fade and
ray of hope to cheer her In her tolls, will
live to see her fashionable sisters die all a.
round her. The kitchen maid is hearty and
strong, when her lady has to be nursed like a
sick baby. It is a sad truth that the fashion
pampered women are almost worthless for all
the ends of human life. They have but lit
tie force of character they have still less
power of moral will, and quite as little physi-
cal energy. They live for no great purpose
in life they accomplish no worthy ends
They are only doll forms in the hands Of mil
liners and servants, to be dressed and fed to
order. They dress nobody, and save nobody.
They write no books they set no rich exam
pies Of virtue and womanly life. If they rear
children, servants and nurses do all, save to
conceive and give them birth-and when rear
ed what are they? What do they ever amount
to but weak scions of the old stock? Who
ever heard of fashionable woman's child
exhibiting any virtue Of power Of mind for
which It became eminent Read the biog-
raphies of our great and good men and NO.
men. Not one Of them had fashionable
mother. They nearly all sprang from strong
minded women, who had about as little to do
with fashion as with the changing clouds.

TABLE OF THE FISHES OF THE NEsHAs1c.

For reasons which we think are very good,
we do not give the number of minnows caught
on the second inst. And in the table of Sep
TENDER 10th, 1875 for like reasons, we did not
give the number of silverfins. However, as
wish to allude to this species occasionally,
will here state in our catch of September 10Th
1875 there were about 20 silverfins. have
also omitted in both tables the number of cells
caught, since any fishing done in daytime
would give very unsatisfactory results as re-
CARDS this species.
Now as regards the eleven kinds Of fishes
enumerated in the above tables, / think
many will conclude with me that there are
but three, the sucker, the catfish, and the
sunfsh, that are Of much value as pan-fishes.
Clubs, in this rivulet, seldom attain
size enough to make them valuable. In
fact, the specie that has by far the
most numerous representatives here, the
Semotilus Corporalis--I have never seen
large enough to be considered de
cent pan-fish. In our catch ON the I'd, we had
very few of the other species of club, the
Semotilus Rhotheus.
The mudsucker-M oxastomus Oblongus-
is little priced with us as a pan-fish, yet mos
people prefer it to the club.
IT. upon referring to the two tables above
arranged, we make a little calculation, we
will see that of the whole number Of fishes
caught upon the 10th of September 1875, only
about .02 81 were sunfsh, whereas similar
calculation will show that of the catch on the
second Of September 1876, about 1887 wert
of this kind. Here we see an increase in I
somewhat valuable species of pan-fish, Of al
least six fold. Is it too much to ascribe this
enormous increase of the sunfish to our work
of 10th Of September 1875, at which time WI
removed from this rivulet some 1000 of thei
enemies? We know of no other influence il
favor of this species, to which to attribute
the increase.
Then let all who love to fish for the sunfish
lend aid in removing from their rivulets, thu
worthless Dace, Redfins, Funadulus, Darter
and the like. Sunfish win become abundan
