2U3AL CHRKS. Lift up your beads, ye stooping throngs, And see Life's constellations; For the stars are resonant with songs . Above the plodding nations. Forget, one hour, each slavish care, And walk among the mountains; Inhale the pure and fragrant air, And drink from gushing fountains. Your love of gold, your toil and strife, Have made your souls too bestial; Come forth again to Nature's life, And catch a glimpse colestial. Ye warriors, fling aside your arms, And hush your battle-thunders: For smiling Peace amid her farms, Invites to rural wonders. Ye crowds, that go like driven herds Along your streets and alleys, Game out to hear the singing birds And brooklets in the valleys. Forsake your hot and noisy walls, And come among the roses; We'll sit beside the waterfalls Until the twilight closes. 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. And when the evening shadows trail Along the grassy ridges, We'll down the placid rivers sail Beneath their arching bridges. The moon shall look with ra.liant face Through air with odors laden, And see us in some happy place With love and late and maiden. Oh! then forsake the dusty street, While summer charms invite you; Let shady forests cool the heat, And mountain air delight you. From the American Cotton Planter and Soil. FISH PONDS.

The importanc of this sabject, as a matter of domestic econ my, adapted to the wants, convenience and c Pacity d every planter and planter's famil i the-planting States, applies with as much torc here as it does in Virginia.

In the Hime regions of Alabama and Mi sissippi, where there are few springs, Artesia wells supply the water for 1sh ponds ju where fancy and convnvicnce could desire then What could add so much' of-beauty and fresl ness to a gentleman's home, the amusemei of his children, as one of those artificial lakes nure fresh w-ater, and it stocked with an abul kant suppty of fine, fat, home-raised tame fisl Al the try and romance of an Italian.

There isn "rtieka of fo" -orore s~.ruWr1hoirome the .To enjoy it in all its excellence ari perfection, it is indispensible that it should 1 ~-cooked immediately after it is taken out of ti -ater. Persons living remote from ponds ari vers, cannot procure eiuppliesasnroptly as ' ble. They must thereforerthey wotgg re emselves with so great a ddizcacrin to arti nds or streams. Tin difficult 'on almost eve ifully countryi is no region m(iter than supplied with s ' ga of clear, ~'sufficiently ours. Wherever ere is a wth very lit bold'to supply a fa 'ly with se, a pond may tie labor and no pee ry them bountifully be constructed that ' .~ We speak from with the nices.t v - ,, that a small pond experince, wh .* the fourth of an acre COVerig no -~ 3 a small family, if not a well stocked. \s, of fish almost every day throughout e' r who properly appreciae amost eve : luxuries of the table, to pbt up tecomforL hsannual supply of thsarticle, ce. To se t that he should have a good and iis imp t pond for the purpose. tLet him a perm a pond supplied with a few of our have ieties of perch, and in a couple of years fine begin to luxuriate in both of these 1luxu h to his heart's content. We would by no a limit the size of a fish pond to the fourth an acre. A half or even a whole acre would t be objectionable, as the supply of lish would f course bear a proportion to the area and depth f the water. Our mode of constructing a pond is as follows: After selecting a suitable location, taking care 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 contempae dam, we turn about and throw.the earth back into the ditch, and build the dam immediately over the ditch, with dirt altogether, taking it from the upper side, which wi give more depth of water and more secnrity against leakeage and breakage. Whetn we have raised the dam to the requisite height, we cut a waste around each eiid, seven or eight feet wide, and of sullicient depth to make the dam secure from overflow in timie of heavy floods of rain. If the source from whence we draw our supply of water is noar, we deem it best to cut a head ditch, carrying it both sides of the pond andI emptying it some distance below the dam. Care should be taken to keep far enough from the pond to prevent this ditch from becom 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 muddy water and floods that might carry off many fish and endanger the dam. When the pond is completed, we have ounly to get our angling implements, go to the next pond or river, with a bucket on our arm--and while 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 ponid, we prefer the varieties of perch: the freckle, or silver perch. the black perch, the wide mouth, or Joe Dentouis' (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 voracious, soon eats out tbe other sorts of fish, and then preys upon his own progeny. We wvould recom mend to those who would like to cultivate this variety, to build a second pond for thenm 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 will 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 spring is a bold one, wecould rear the mountaim or speckled trout, with entire succ~ess, between it and the head of the ponid, by ~ a~nking boxes at intervals in the stream, of two to three feet depth, and six or eight feet long, & and putting a few stout rocks at the bottom. The great difficulty, however, in regard to this fish, is the distance to which we must gofor them. It is very much to be regretted that our 'wealthy gentlemen do not pymore attention to ' rearing fsh. In New Engad we are told some of our most distinguishe men have regarded the subjetas well worthj of their efforts. * :.gse parts of Franc~e artificial ponds are iigh rent. They are rented by the acre. We now of no reason why artificial ponds may not )e as productive in Nhirginia as in any part of ( Europe. Our springs furnish as pure water as Lay in the world, while the varieties of fish are is numerous and as fine as can be found any here. As a measure of domestic economy, the rear ing of fish commends itself to every farmer H a source of healthful innocent recreation to our E sons and daughters, it is worthy of our conside ration. We have rarely known boys who have been taught and encouraged in the frequent and 0 skilful use of the angle addicted to the grog j shop, the gamhling halls, or any of the low haunts of vice and rowdyism. It is a refining sport. All anglers, almost without exception, are amiable-and among the votaries of the art, we can enumerate many of the greatest, best, and most distinguished men. The illustrious Patrick Henry, it not the most successful, was at least one of the most persevering disciples of the good old Isaac Walton. No one can tell how much the silent hours-of thought and reflec tion which this great apostle of liberty indulged, while watching his cork on the still waters, con tributed to prepare him for the eventful struggle of the revolution. We shall conclude this article by recommend i to our readers a plan by which we believe the fI pond may be made a very great convenience, almost if not as great as the chicken coop itself. Let the fisherman sink a box of convenient length and depth just below the spring, so that the water will flow through it and keep it full. Let the box be covered with a lid of boards suf. ficiently open to admit the air freely, with hinges and lock for security. Whenever he may take more fish than are needeil for Prent.. na, li ma ut them in the box, where they will grow anitrive, and whence he may take them to the kitchen at short notice alive and fluttering, to be dressed for himself, or to regale any friend who may happen to step in unexpecte or too late for a regular family dinner. From the Country Gentleman. INRUMANITY TO ANIMALS 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 dumb animals, something equally true and still more severe might be said, and easily sustained. For, though there seem to be good reason thinking that humane sentiments and dis" tions towards the dumb creation are beq'!'g deeper and stronger in those who possessecor t. nally the germs thereof by inheritance , eviil t tution, and are being imbibed from prevail - ing current of feeling, even by the o rsy sei , to have been born with very har arts, yet still . the conduct of a large majoritysiderat the is abundant foundation for Usiderably wide . and sweeping charges a a -ia forinhuan thi ae,:tsonuct express 1 ity committedto reprehension of the e those guilty of it, to th*re excellent ones of a more merciful and the o no itleinter a the earth; and it is 0fluire of no little inter .est to determine ho'-14 persons are regarded - et toeter hy a.'-*tand merciful Providence. h and treated by a Providence deal with those a- How, then, .inhunanity and inditierence to who are guiltihose animals which have been It the comforLt their care and charge? Those .ut this inquiry as far as their own - who carr., aided by those of others, will ad it observat. led to the discovery of considera nu mt, $w vr fe emto have attended to rtojag to eart. They will discover, for exam ple, that -is species of wrong doing anid guilt a does notseape any more than any other, the a just andevere retributions of a beneficent and watchudioernorship, which is really kind, even when itunishes with apparent severity. Thley e will jg, to codsedto a few details, that b- those'0 are so inhuman and indifferent to the .needgid comfort of their brute animals, as to n let tlhr pick up in the latter portion of the fall d or eg part of winter, an insufficient amount of e nutrient from the scanty and frost injured e grass of their meadows and pastures, and in d (4Ilet them be out in the cold and chilly s that season, have their stock become p-bilH ~ uoauu i liefni tbrdugh the ,snter, while at the same time they obtain zauch less milk or wool, or meat, or work from animals so mistreated, than those who deal with their stock more justly and humanely. Under such treatment, with a continuance of insufficient food and shelter through the winter, sheep die, calves become little stunted runts, cows give lit tle or no milk, lambs come still-born or die in a few days, cattle become so week that they cannot do the work that should be done in spring, and damage and losses accrue in other forms beside. Want of sufficient food and shelter in fall, winter, and early spring, prodne-es such result4. Teams so mal-treated cannot draw a plo0w put down to a proper depth, andl thus the scanty crops, from fields plowed onily three or four inches deep, con tinue the providential punishment throughout the whole year. Such are some of the ways in which wrong doing is rebuked and punished, evil-doers war-ned andl called to repentance and reformation, amid the superintenidinig watchfulness and regard for rights, justice and merev-, of the Supre-me Goy ernor and Disposei- of all thmiings vindicated anid made manifest before the eves of His intelligent and responisible creatures. -Alas!I that so nmany shut their eyes that they see not these retributive providencees, nor heed the lessons they were wisely and mercifully intended to teach amid ini culcate! A. Cor.rs.-In handling Colts, the .eamne or more care and good sense should be exercised. Always keep on good terms with the colk, if you expect him to improve in your hands ; anid do not arouse the devil in him, t'hinking you can drive it out by violent handling: that is just the warv to ntake baulky and runaway horses, or broken hlown amid mean-spirited ones. Cherish the pride anid self esteem of the colt, but bring him genitly to know that you must always be promptly obeyed. Ae. custom him to sudden noises and miovements, in such a way that he will see they will not hurt him. We can almost invariably recognise a country horse in our city streets, by his shving and squatting at every unusual noise or sudden movement, dich our well-trained steeds take not notice of.
