by the hand Of tistc, thus taxing thins' oJ
no real value, and rendering them subseryi'

cookie, the limpci, the mus.i, the whclk
which abound on the sea shore. are here A.
pret,ily arranged as to make them worthy
to adOrn any parlor in the land. Such
things should bc encouraged as they aid ~
much to our natural resources. la France

rets as may gritIfy the eye Of :aste, and
there is no reason why the SINE habits may
not 10 proGably cultivated in our own
