The Poets who Sing Not.

When evenings shadowy fingers fold,
The flowers of every bue,
Some shy, ~haif-opetied bud will hole
It's drops OF morning dew.
Sweeter with every sun-lit hour
The trembling sphere has grown.
Till all the fragrance OF the flower
Becomes ut last its own.
We that have sung perchance may find
Our little meed OF praise,
Aud round our pallid temples bind
The wreath OF fading days.
An, Poet, who has never spent
Thy breath in idle strains,
For the d~ew-drop morning lent
Still in thy heart remains.
Unwasted, in it's ~perfumed cell
It waits the evening gale;
Then in the azure whence it fell
It's lingering sweets exhale.

places. Fred Matber, the well known fish
culturist, has been making some interest

which proves that there are 5000 900 eggs
in an eel. How and when these eggs are
Matched has always been, and still is, a

that the old cells run down to salt water In
October, and that in the spring swarms Of
young ones, the size OF a darning needle
and about two inches long, ascend the
rivers.
