10 BEEF EArERs.-The question of
using beef for food, is becoming a Sc
rious one, as for instance, the price OF
that article has been steadily advanc-
ing, and on Monday last beef cattle
reached the highest price ever known
i'll the New York market. The Sun
says of this speculation:
"At first it was pretended that owing
to the great frost in May in the West
ern States, the corn crop would be cut
off, and the usual number of cattle
could not be fattened. This proves to
have been unfounded, and is only a
new species of stock gambling bor-
rowed from the bulls in Wall street.
There appears TO be well arranged
combination on the part Of the cattle
dealers, by means of which the supply
of cattle sent to market can be in
creased or diminished at will. When
ever the usual quantity is withheld, the
price advances. The butcheris obliged
to 'come down" or rather cup" to the
spectators figures, and the poor peo-
pie who eat the beef, are left to Hob
sons choice-pay the price or go with
out.
II is safe to estimate that three hun
dred thousand pounds of meat are
daily consumed in the city of New
York. OF this, full one-half is beef,
and worth at fifteen cents a pound,
$12,500 One half of that sum is di-
vided among the butchers as their
daily loss, if continued for one week
even, might be effectual in reducing
the price. This loss would fall heavily
in the first instance, upon the class not
altogether to blame, but they would
speedily shift it off upon the middle
men, and soon teach the spectators
that the peoples food cannot be en-
tirely controlled by them. During the
warm season, which is now fast APP
preaching, vegetable diet is much
more wholesome and better for the
health than meat diet even if bought
at reasonable prices. Among the or
dinances instituted by Lycurgus for the
better regulation of Greece, was one
relating to the public food. Knowing
the effeminacy that luxurious style of
living always produces, he ordained
that each person should furnish month
ly, for the public use, a bushel of flour,
eight measures of wine, five pounds of
cheese, and two and a half pounds of
figs. Besides they ate species of soup
called "black broth" considered AS the
most exquisite of all their eatables.
Every one was required to live on this
diet, and more vigorous, intrepid
people than the ancient Greeks never
lived. 1t is not recommended that the
Grecian bill of fare be adopted in toto,
but so far rs it is marked by the alb
sence of animal food, is worthy of at
tention."

ny THE SEA-SHORE.


,r... hv .he side Of the summer sea,
dlv dreaming one summer day,
finder the cedar boughs lay;
And ever the summer breeze
Irote in the fragrant cedar-trees
A wonderful melody.
Fetched tho clouds in the azure sky,
Fancihll shapes Of castles grand,
Floating over the sea and land,
And the darting sea-gulls soar and dive,
And the white winged ships which seemed
alive,
As they drifted slowly by.
Tho waves broke low on the shining sand,
Scattering everywhere beautiful shells
Ont Of the oceans mysterious cells;
And sentinel-likc the huge gray rocks,
Tbatha adj braved the storm and the tempSsts
shocks,
Guarded the beautiful land.
AfAr in the east hung the crescent moon,
X And the sun stood low IN the royal west,
4 Gliding the cedars upon the crest
or the rugged cliff with jubllant fire,
And the wind, which sung like sweet-toned
Died away in peaceful swoon.
And there came ship toward the rosy shore;
Radiant all we're her sails SO white
With the glowing hue Of the suns rich light;
And said, "'Tis my ship, she comes this
day.
And 10 while spoke she passed away,
Like those which had gone before.
Alb many ship have / sent to sea,
With costliest freight that a ship can hold
Hopes more precious by far than gold
Sent them adrift in my boyhood's time;
And now in my manhood's ioyless prime
They never come back TO me.

ALWAYS BEHIND TIME.-Mr. Higgins
was very punctual man in all his
transactions through life. He amassed
a large fortune by untiring industry
and punctuality; and at the advanced
age of ninety years was resting quietly
on his bed, and calmly waiting to be
called away. He had deliberately
made almost every arrangement for his
decease and burial
His pulse grew fainter, and the light
OF the life seemed Just Pickering in its
socket, when one of his sons observed:
Father, you will probably live but
a day or two; is it not well for You to
name your bearers2
"To be sure, my son" said the dying
man, at is well thought of, and l will
do it now"
He gave the names of SIX the usual
number, and sank back exhausted on
his pillow.
A CLEAN of thought passed over his
withered features like a ray of light
and he rallied once more.
"My SON. read me the list Is the
name Of Mr.. Virgins there ?"
1T is my father"
'Then strike it OFF, said Ire cnphht-
ically; 'for he was never punctual--
was never anywhere in season, and he

BSg~ San Francisco, to traveller,
paying his first visit, has the interest
of new planet. 1t ignores the meteo-
laws which govern the rest of
the world. There is no snow there.
There are no summer showers. The
tailor recognizes no aphelion or peri
phelion III his custom; the thin wooden
suit which his patron had made in
April, is comfortably worn until April
again. The only change of stockings
there is from wet to dry, or from soiled
to clean. Save that in so-called win
ter, frequent rainfalls alternate with
spotless intervals of amber weather,
and that soi-disam summer is one en-
tire amber mass, its unbroken divine
days concrete in 1t, there is no inequal-
ity on which to forbid the banns be-
tween May and December. In San
Francisco there is no work for the
scene-shifter of nature; the wealth of
that great dramatist, the year, result
ing i'll the same manner as the poverty
OF dabblers IN private theatricals--a

sameness what glorious fruits are pro-
duced Fruit enough metaphorical
for the scientific man or artist who
cannot make hay while such a sun
shines from April to November must
be slothful laborer indeed. But fruit
also literal; for what JOY of vegetation
is lacking to the man who every
month in the year can look through
his study-window ON a green lawn,
and have strawberries and cream for
his breakfast, who can sit down to
royal fruit, and at the same time to
apricots, peaches, nectarines blackber-
ries, raspberries, melons, figs, both

grapes of three kinds ?--Fnz-Hugh
