We'll wander down the winding streams To watch the birds and fishes; Or sleep in shadows where sweet dreams Shall crown our dearest wishes.

FISH PONDS. , The following excellent hints on the subject of "Fish Ponds," and their cheap and easy con struction, we clip from the Southern Planter, publi4hed at Petersburg, Va. The importance f this subject, as a matter of domestic econo my, adapted to the wants, convenience and ca pacity de every planter and planter's family in theTlanting States, applies with as much force here as it does in Virginia. 'i here is scarcely a planter in this whole country who may not, at a very light outlay of labor, supply his family eve ry ay in the.ear with good, home-raised fresh fsh. In the lime regions of Alabama and Mis sissippi, where th'ee are few springs, Artesian wells supply the water for ish ponds just where fancy and convenience could desire them. What could add so muoh oChkeauty and fresh ness to a gentleman's home, the amusement of his childres, as one of those artificial lakes of p ure fresh water, and it stock-ed with an abun dant supply of fine, fat, home-raised tame fish!i All the try and romance of an Italian / Boman y a eloy on the imagination .i'hus contemptng 8 handsomely improved American rural hozte. ED. F o3'Ds.-We desire earnestly to call the t nof our readers, one and alto the sub froeno i 'nal t excellence and perfection, it is iadispeusible, that it should be cooked immediately after it is taken out of the 'water. Persons living remote from ponds and 'jvers, cannot procure euphapaznyas is ~' ble.~ They mus erfr,ueywa 3!e emselves with so great a dicac e to arti nds or streams. Tis difficult on-.almost eve tifully country, Tp is no region m e water than supplied with sp- gs of: clear, g sufficiently ur Wherevfer ere is a r, with very lit tebor tondpyaf with use, a pond may< ti aoradn pee aryy them bountifully be conuced thbat isti. We speak fromf With the nicest v - *a that a small pond experence whe the fourth of an acre coverin not m . y a small family, if not ai well Stocked, w 5 of fish almost every day Iarge one, wi . It is now customary for alroughovet er who properly appreciates host ever luxuries of the table, to pitt up - ie comfo his annual supply of this article,t . i To s t that he should have a good andt ut iS Em t pond for the purpose. Let him apenm a pond supplied with a few of oura hve -eties of peh, and in a couple of years ~ne beg'in to luxuriate in both of these luxu to his~ heart's content. We would by nor us limit the size of a fish pond to the fomithe an acre. A half or even a whole acre wouldn t be objectionable, as the supply of fish would a f course bear a proportion to the area and depth s f the water. Our mode of constructing a pond is as follows: After selecting a suitable location, taking care e to avoid a very sunny exposure, both on account of the ice and the fish, we cut a ditch from three to four feet wide, according to the depth we need to go to reach the clay, cutting out all the roots carefully. When we have dug this ditch the full length of the contemplated Jam, we turn about and thromthe earth back into the ditch, and build the dam immediately over the ditch, with: dirt altogether, taking it from the upper side, ~ which wiigive more depth of water and more security against leakeage and breakage. When e we have raised the dam to the requisite height, we cut a waste around each end, seven or eight ~ feet wide, and of sullicient depth to make the s dam secure from overflow in time of heavy floods of rain. If the source from whence we draw c our supply of water is near, we deem it best to a cut a head ditch, carrying it both sides~ of the ~i poend and emptying it sonme distance below the - dam. Care should? be taken to keep far enough - from the pond to prevent this ditch from becomn- ( ing a drain, in case it should wash deep, that would let the water pass off from the pond. The object of this ditch is to carry off the inuddy water and floods that might carry off many fish and endanger the dam-.T When the pond is completed, we have only to get our angling implements, go to the next pond f b or river, with a bucket on our arm-and while b enjoying the sport of fishing, in a few hours pro vide a stock to start with. Or we may take a" seine and a barrel, and go to work in a more bu siness like way. In selecting fish for the pond, we prefer the el varieties of perch: the freckle, or silver perch. i the black perch, the wide menth, or Joe Dentons' (as they are called amongst us,) and the yellow perch. In fact all the varieties of perch common to our waters are excellent for the table, afford fine sport to the angler, and may be caught at almost any season of the year. The chub is not. suited to small ponds. He is very voracisus, soon eats out the other sorts of fish, and then preys-upon his own progeny. We would recom mend to those who would like to cultivate this variety, to build a second pond for them below the first, so that they may prey upon the small fish that escape through the wastes. The com mon round fish of our rivers wvill not breed ex cept in running water, but we like to throw a few of them in the pond to be taken out in win ter. They grow quickly and do not prey upon the others. If Our springis a bold one, wecould a rear the mountain or speckled trout, with entire success, between it and the head of the pond, by "m* a'nking boxes at intervals in the stream, of two to three feet depth, and six or eight feet long, rE and putting .a few stout rocks at the bottom: l " The great difficulty, however, in regard to this ' fish, rs the distance to which we must gofor ~ them. It is very much to he regretted that our wealthy gentlemen do not pay more attention to .rbaring fsh. In New Engand we are told some of our1a istinuishe men have regared the subjeas well of their efforts. rh rent. They are rented by the acre. We aw of no reason why artificial ponds may not as productive in Virginia as in any part of Q trope. Our sprinfs furnish as pure water as y in the world, wiZile the varieties of fish are numerous and as fine as can be found any r tere. As a measure of domestic economy, the rear a of fish commends itself to every farmer. As source of healthful innocent recreation to our I us and daughters, it is worthy of our conside tion. We have rarely known boys who have -en taught and encouraged in the frequent and c ilful use of the angle addicted to the grog j op, the gambling halls, or any. of the low tunts of vice and rowdyism. It is a refining iort. All anglers, almost without exception, e amiable-and among the votaries of the art, e ean enumerate many of the greatest, best, ad most distinguished men. The illustrious 'atrick Henry, if not the most successful, was t least one of the most persevering disciples of ie good old Isaac Walton. No one can tell ow much the silent hours-of thought and reflec on which this great apostle of liberty indulged, rhile watching his cork on the still waters, con ributed to prepare him for the eventful struggle f the revolution. We shall conclude this article by recommend. a1 to our readers a plan by which we believe the is pond may be made a very great convenience, Imost if not as great as the chicken coop itself. et the fisherman sink a box of convenient ength and depth just below the spring, so that he water will flow through it ind keep it full. et the box be covered with a lid of boards suf iciently open to admit the air freely, with hinges ad lock for security. Whenever he may take nore fish than are neede4 for prp.qint na, ha na t them in the box, where they will grow dtrive, and whence he may take them to the ditchen at short notice alive and fluttering, to )e dressed for himself, or to regale any friend who may hap pen to step in unexpected or too ate for a regular family dinner. From the Country Gentleman. RUiANITY TO ANIMAILS PUNISHED BY PROV IDENCE. Some poet has truthfully said that " Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn." Of man's inhumanity and downright cruelty to lumb animals, something equally true and still more severe might be said, and easily sustained. For, though there seem to be good reason fiy thinking that humane sentiments and disrs' tions towards the dumb creation are beebing deeper and stronger in those who possesse'orig! nally the germs thereof by inheritance o- consti tution, and are being imbibed from - prevail ing current of feeling, even by tho, ho seem to have been born with very hard 1urts, yet still the conduct of a large majority, lows that there is abundant foundation fbr 1usiderably wide and sweeping charges againai an, for inhuman ity committed to his care. ;;is conduct express those guilty of it, to the j t reprehension of the more merciful and the ,ore excellent ones of the earth; and it is apinquiry of no little inter est to determine howiuch persons are regarded and treated by a j..t and merciful Providence. How, then, do- Providence deal with those who are guilty 1huianity and indifference to the comfort othose animals which have been committed J their care and charge? Those who carr. ut this inquiry as far as their own observa aided by those of others, will ad mit, "d led to the discovery of considera tion' whice very few seem to have attended to M~-aid to wart. They will discover, for exam ple, that t is species of wrong doing aiid guilt does not esape ainy more than any other, the just and lvere retributions of a beneficent and watchfu 'ov-ernorship, which is really kind, even when it unishes with apparent severity. They will Ii to condescend to a few details, that those o are so inhuman and indifferent to the needs d comfort of their brute animals, as to let th pick up in the latter portion of the fall or e - part of winter, an insufficient amount of nutri at from the scanty and frost injured of their meadows and pastures, and in -n, let them be out in the cold and chilly f that season, have their stock become mutch less milk or wool, or meat, or work from mimals so mistreated, than those who deal with heir stock more justly and humanely. Under inch treatment, with a continuance of insuflicient ood and shelter through the winter, sheep die, :alves become little stunted runts, cows give lit e or no milk, lambs come still-born or die in a 'ew days, cattle become so week that they cannot Lo the work that should be done in spring, and lamage and losses accrue in other forms beside. ant of sufficient food aiid shelter in fall, winter, ud early spring, produces such result4. 'reams o mad-treated cannot draw a plow put down to Sproper depth, and thus the scanty crops, from elds plowed only three or four ineches deep, conm ine the providential punishment' throughout he whole year. Such are some of the uanys in which wrong oing is rebuked and punished, evil-doer-s warned ud called to repentance and refornmation, ad lie superinteniding watchfulness and regard for ights, justice anid miercv, of the Supreme Gov. ror and D~isposer of all things vindicated ad inde inmnifest before the eyes of His intelligent d respoiisible creatures.
