e;i;tS III must have been bold man
who first ate an oyster This is said in igno-
rance Of the legend which assigns the first act
OF oyster. eating to very natural cause. 1t is
related that man walking one day by the sea-
shore picked up one Of these savory bivalyes
just as he was in the act Of gaping. Observing
the extreme smoothness of the interior of the
shell, he insinuated his fingers between them
that he might feel tleir- shiniin0 snrface. when
suddenly they closed upon the exploring digit
with sensation less pleasurable than he antici-
pated. The prompt withdrawal Of his finger
was scarcely more natural movement than its
transfer to his mouth. 1t is not very clear why
people when they hurt their fingers put them
into their mouths, but it is very certain that
they do ; and in this case the result was most
fortunate. The owner of the finger tasted oys-
ter juice for the first time, as the Chinaman in
Elias essay having burnt his finger, tasted
cracklin. The SAVIOR was delicous-he had
made great discovery; so he picked up the
oyster, forced open the shells, banqueted upon
their contents, aud soon brought oyster r-eating
into fashion. And, unlike most fashions, it has
never gone, and is never likely to go out.

II A FoRErHoUGRr WELL T1MED.-In recent
fHoo,bate in the Legislature Of Louisiana, on the
elbject of leasing or selling the Penitentiary,
time Of the members from Sabine, who has hereto
.a're been the very antipode of his speech-making
r. r. Raolleague, feeling big with indignant thoughts
cunning through the wide wilderness Of his
brain, rose up and said: +"
"Mr. Speaker, I'm opposed to lettin any
body have the Penitentiary but the State.
There ain t man in my Parish but what is
agin it, and I'm agin it and shall always be
agin it. What will it come to, Mr.. Speaker?
Why, We are selling the crime of the State.
But, sir, there is another reason why we should
all be agin it, The day will come, livery much
excited Mr.. Speaker, when we may all be in
the Penitentiary, and how would we like to be
hired out like niggers?" aa's55 ,ssg
This speech was clincher and settled the
question. Doubtless snme of the memhera
knew that they ought 70 be IN the Penitentiary,

Bellies ant, Begsars In Italy.

| The Florence correspondent Of the New 7 ork
Advertiser says:
Instances are not infrequent Of mendicants
becoming rich through their beggarly savings
A singular revelation Of this is reported to
have occurred here few days since, A young
man of respectable family, being cheated in
some way out Of his heritnge, went to a certain
church daily to pray the Virgin to take his
cause into her hands |; as he went, he was in the
habit Of throwing an aims into the hands Of q
beggar found always on the church steps, who
pretended to be blind, wearing q bandage over
his eyes. After q month or 50, the beggar I'd
dressed him, changing his imploring air to one
Of patronage, and asked him if he did not him
self need pecuniary aid. The young man, with
surprise, asked the beggar, in reply, what that
was to him. ..,'-.. 3...' 4. ~
"Much," Ire answered, !" because love you, !"
and then inquired if he would like to make an
eligible marriage t-.o, ,,,s1i4fs. ~ s7.,f
~" said the young gentleman )" how con 1
marry rich wife, when have nothing to bring
her in return? ~. ...-'- ~ -'I.l. .5 :
Well, enough, if you let me make the match
for you said the beggar. Come to-mor-
row, at such an hour, to ----- street. No. -,
and promise you good fortune'' 5s,. !.
Agreed! |" said the other, beginning to be-
lieve that his patron Mary had wrought mira
Gle in his behalf ...x,. La, ..t -,
The next day found him, true to his appoint
ment, at the house, The door being opened by
servant, he was about to retire, thinking all
u hoax, when the domestic insisted on his going
in, saying that his master expected him. He
accordingly entered, and found q gentlemen,
who met him with a kindly welcome. /" Sir,
have not the honor of your acquaintance" said
the young man. Il know you very well,
though" replied the gentleman, /" and permit
me to present you to my daughter" leading the
astonished youth to q beautiful young lady
seated on the sofa. After some general con-
versation, the father signifed his wish to be
alone with the stranger. The daughter mod
estly withdrew, and he revealed himself as the
blind beggar Of the church stone-said he had,
during twenty years, accumulated q fortune
through begging, and would now present him
with his daughter and her dot, because he was
sure that he was an honest man. 1t need not
be added that Italian piety did not prevent the
young mans accepting the price Of low treach-
cry, nor that it led him again to the church to
thank the Virgin for this wonderful answer to
his prayers, and to hang silver heart, in &C.
acknowledgement, before her image.
