OysTERs.-Last night was great day
for the oysters in our harbor. The law re-
gnlating the taking Of them. allows the pri-
vilege to catch on and after the first Of
November, for certain time, and for the
last few days everything in the shape of
boat in this vicinity, has been in readiness
for the occasion. AS early rs four o'clock
yesterday afternoon, boat after boat, scow
after scow, and canoe after canoe. could
be seen steering for the large oyster bed "a.
the mouth of West river, and by ten o'clock
in the evening it was estimated that not less
than 1905 persons were on the ground.
The moment the clock told the hour Of
midnight, the strife commenced, and at sun
rise this morning,it was estimated that over
10000 bushels had been taken, and we
huve no doubt that is less than the actual
quantity. We saw several boats contain
ing 40 or so bushels, which had been filled
by one individual, and were told that many
persons took 30 and 40 and,,some 20 and 40
bushels.-They can be bought from 20 to
70 cents per bushel, according to size.

Edntern method of measuring time -

Eantern method Of measuring time
The people Of the east measure time by tho
length Of their shadows. Hence, if you
ask a man what clock it is is, he immedi.
ately goes into the sun, stands erect, then
looking where his shadow terminates, he
measures its length with his feet, and tells
you nearly the time. Thus the workmen
earnestly desire the shadow which indicates
the time for leaving their work. A person
wishing to leave his toll says " How long
my shadow is in coming!" Why did
you not come soonerF because | wai-
ted for my shadow" In the 18th chapter
Of Job we find it written, "As a servant
earnestly desreth his shadow"

THE "SECOND ADVENT" MEET
ING.

The great tent of the Second Advent
party, who adopt the scriptural interpret
,ations Of Mr.. Miller concerning the second
coming of Christ, and the probability that
the advent will occur next year, was pitched
in square field of two or three acres,
bounded by Mulberry, Orchard. and Camp
streets, in this city, yesterday afternoon, in
presence of a congregation of some two or
three thousand people. 1t is probably the
largest tent ever set UP in this part Of the
country, being about la feet III diameter.
The imposing looking circular Tabernacle
is raised by a huge pole in the centre, some
20 feet in height and is secured to the ground
by posts and chains. 6 or 8 feet high, so
that the audience inside may pass conveicnt-
ly around the canvass wall of its whole in
ierior-,he posts being surrounded with
canvass to complete the enclosure. There
are six doors for entrance, and the whole
area is provided with benches, and plat
form or pulpit for the breaches. 1t is esti-
mated that 5000 people can be accommoda-
ted within, this vast apartment.
The work Of erecting this stupenduous
tent was commenced with prayer, we learn
by lady Of this city, and was completed

cooking stove having been provided, where
| ample provision is made to furnish meals at
a shilling each. The tent provided for Mr..
Miller, and the preachers, is divid cd into
two apartments, and protected by boards.
Several, if not all the tents, are heated with

NOVEL RESTING PLAcE.-The Rev. Mr.
Moffatt, Missionary in South Africa, thus
describes one Of the luxuries of the desert:
"Being ignorant Of the locality, and not
knowing where the inhabitants Bushmen)
might be, we made no fire lest we should
be discovered, and we had nothing to roast
There were no trees, and we lay down be-
tween ridges or hills Of deep sand. The
wind was cold, and we had little covering,
having left the half Of our horses knocked
up, and with them most Of our carosses.-
The plan adopted by Mr.. Haensel, a Mo-
ravian Missionary, in similar circumstan-
ces, occurred to me, and like him, | made
hole in the sand, and buried myself, lea
wing the head out | soon felt very COM
Portable, and extolling the plan, one of my
companions initiated my example. and got
under the EARTH then told him that the
missionary whom we were initiating hav-
ing once submerged himself in the sand
near the seashore, was occasionally dis
disturbed by huge crabs approaching him,
and these his faithful dog kept at distance
My companion asked. land what are we
to do if lion comesW 1--WE are safe,"
replied, ''for he will not eat heads when he
can get whole bodies." This removed his
fears; and | do not remember to have slept
so comfortable during the whole journey,
in which we had often very sorry accom-
modations."

Mrp the odorous breath of flowers,
And nights quiet noon above
In the shade of forest flowers,
Kneeling, told of my love;
Spirit of voices fell lfrom far,
And upon our trysting lonely,
Looked the eyes of angels only
MARY STAR.
Not as evening lights that steal
One by one through purple skies
Didst thou, levely one, reveal
Thy rare beauty's paradise;
Like The full orb'd moon afar,
Bursting through the cloud-rift hoarS
Shon'st. thou in thy perfect glory
MARY STAR.
Brightly flashed thine eyes on mine
Eyes of midnight dark and deep
AS the cherub-eyes that snlne'
Over childhood's rosy sleep
Ere tho curse hath shown It's scar:
And nv brain with strange giadness,
Thrilled until felt a madness,
MARY STAR.
Thoust to me temple shone--
Where glorious seraph sung
Low, sweet ditties, all alone,
Ger harp forever strung,
To some music caught from far;
Why vast thou to me SO tender,
In thy rnaiden's morning splendor,
MARY STAR!
How my Beings river rolled
Without melody along,
Till the waye-harp, icy cold,
Echoed back the spirit-song
In many silver.ringing barl
Better had the river darkled
And with music never sparkled-
MARY STAR.
Oh! agony! l see those eyes
Oh, agony! but not on mine
Do they with wild surprise
Deep and dark and lustrous shire;
They are bent on one afar.
Why didst thou in light elysian
Glitter but phantom-vision-
MARY STAR
Better better hadst thou died
While thy heart as yet was young;
Gone to earth in maiden pride
With the harp yet sweetIy strung.
Voices then from Heaven afer,
Would whispered, why this weeping
She above thee, waking, sleeping,
Is an ange-vigil keeping y
