The Cod.

The cod is one of the most fecund OF
fish and more widely used for food than
any OF er fish except, perhaps the her
ring. II Is not confined, as some persons
seem to think, to the waters of this con
tinent, extensive fisheries of the kind be
ing on coasts of Sweden, Norway,
Iceland and the North of Scotland. The
Netherlanders were engaged in them as
early as the fourteenth century; the En-
glish went to the coasts of iceland about
the same time for the same purpose, and
the French have also been similarly en-
ployed. The cod is always caught by
line; the bultow method, introduced by
the French, being adopted both on the
coast and out at sea. the bultow is a
line of sometimes 5000 thousand fathoms,
with hooks fastened on it by snods six
feet long, about twelve feet apart.
Buoys and anchors are attached to eacl

And soft gray shadows veil the aching eyes.

Beloved ones, whose earthly toll Is over,
Draw near, as is to live among us yet

I hear the echoes of departed feet;
And then ask, with vain and troubled yearn-

What Is the charm that makes old things so
sweet? -......
Must the Old joys be ever more withholden?
Even their memory keeps me pure and true;
And yet, from out Jerusalem the Golden,
God speaketh, saying, u make all things

Stife my love, or give me back the past!
Give me the fair old earth, whose paths are
dearer
Than all thy shining streets and mansions

Peace, peace-the Lord of earth and Heaven
knoweth
The human soul in all its heat and strife;
Out Of his throne no streams of Lethe foweth.
But the clear river of eternal life.
He giveth life, aye, life in all its sweetness,
Old loves, old sunny scenes will He restore;
Only the curse of sin and incompleteness
Shall faint thine earth and vex thine heart
no more. -E.

SAYS Mr.. Blackburn, the rhetorical
fiambeau from Kentucky: I'VE do not
intend to stop until we have stricken the
last vestige of your war measures from
the statute book" And Mr.. Blackburn
processes to speak for his party. If he
speaks by authority, the country must
understand that it is the purpose of the
Bourbon party, under the leadership of
the confederate brigadiers, of whom
Blackburn is one, to strike from the
statute book all laws made for the en-
forcement of the thirteenth, fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments to the consti-
tuition. All these amendments, and the
laws made in pursuance thereof, are
war measures, and Mr.. Blackburn
threatens to strike the last vestige of
them from the statute book. He proposes
to make the amendments, including the
one abOlishing slavery, a dead letter, by
blotting from the statute books all laws
made for their enforcement If that is
the purpose of his party, no wonder that
the freedmen are tiyying in droves from
the Southern States. Mr.. Blackburn is
the man, it will be remembered, who
wanted to be made speaker of the ma
tiOnal house of representatives in order
to prove to the country that southern
brigadiers could exercise power with
wisdom and moderation, and could safe
ly be trusted to direct the affairs of the
nation. The quality of his wisdom and
moderation may be inferred from the
declaration of purpose above quoted.

How 10 Keep Out tue Moths.

A good old lady gave the best receipt
to her niece, whom she found one day
examining her wardrobe. 1t had been
copied from an Old-fashioned book, and
and was this: Lay not up for your
selves treasures upon earth, where moth
and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves
break through and steal; but lay up for
yourselves treasures in heaven, where
neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and
where thieves do not break through nor
steal" The application of this ancient
receipt is very simple: Look over the
wardrobe, and bring out all that can be
spared-blankets and shawls, coats and
cloaks-and send them to the poor in
time; let the widows or the destitute
have them before the moths have begun
their inroads. He that hath two coats
let him impart to him that hath none"
This will do more to keep ont moths
than all the cedar closets, or snuff and
camphor, in the world; and viii be like
ly, il done in Christian. generous spir
it, to secure the blessing of Him that
maketh rich, and doubly sweeten what
is left.
