THE MOTHER MoULDs THE MAN.-That it is
the mother who moulds the man. is a sentiment
illustrated by the following recorded observation
of shrewd writer:
"When 1 lived among the Choctaw Indians I
held consultation with one of their chiefs res
pecting the successive stages of their progress
in the arts of civilized life, and among 9TH
er things he informed me that, at their
start, they fell into great mistake; they only
sent their boys to school. These boys came
home intelligent men, but they married unedu-
Gated and uncivized wives, and the uniform re-
suit was, that the children were all like their
mothers. Thus the father soon lost all interest
in both the wife and children. And now, said
he if we would educate but one class of our chill
dren, we should choose the girls, for when they
become mothers, they educate their sons. This
is the point, and it is true. No nation can be-
come fully enlightened when mothers are not, in
a good degree, qualified to discharge the duties
of the homework of education"
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1857-09-09

OysrERs.-The process by which oysters make
their shells is singular phenomenon in natural
science. A London oysterman can tell the age
of his flock to nicely. The age of this bivalve
is not to be found out by looking into its mouth.
1t bears its age upon its back. Everybody who
has handled an oyster shell must have observed
that it seemed as if composed of successive lay
ers of of plates overlapping each 'other. These
are technically called ''shoots," and each of
them make years growth, so that by counting
them. the year when the creature came into the
world can at once be determined. Up to the
