no more effective means of literary inn

Plenty OF Oysters.

From the immense quantities of oys-
ters consumed every year, one might
fear that the supply of these delicious
shell fish would finally become exhaust
ed. There is little prospect of this, how
ever, as will appear from the following
fact: At an exhibition recently given
at the London University College, a
portion of oyster spawn (eggs), was ex-
hibited under magnifying glass, which
by calculation showed that single oys-
ter would produce 100000 young.
Should these all come to maturity they
would fill 1000 barrels. If nothing
hindered this rapid propagation, the
ocean must in few years be too small
to contain even the oysters alone. But
there are myriads of other hungry in
habitants of the sea which feed upon
the oyster spawn; other larger crea-
lures eat them. and so by multiplying
and eating, and being eaten in turn,
there is food enough for all, man inclu-
ded, and the proper balance of inhab-
itants in the ocean and on land is kept

"THE OLD BOOKKEEPER." +"
BY GEORGE COOPER.

1t was an ancient ook.keeper,
And he was tall and slim;
Though his face was mild he rarely smiled,
His clothes were dark and PM
And everything about hisdesk
He kept exceeding trim.
He always hung his hat and coat
Upon the self same hooks,
.nd laid his rulers, pens and ink
In their respective hooks;
And the only exercise he had
Was footing up his books.
Each iay, upon the self same hour.
He took his lofty seat,
And bent his body and his mind
His labors to complete;
And blot Was neither on his fame,
Nor Oh his edger sheet
The music of his pen was heard
From morn till eventide;
Cp columns vast his eyes were cast,
Then down again with pride
Quite pleased was he, as though he saw hi
work
Increased and multiplied.
The cash that DER his fingers came.
Each dav was something grand;
And vet no scheme to bear it OF,
BY him was ever planned
Although you saw with half an eye.
That he wrote q "slopng hand.
He had no wife, he made no friends,
His joys and cares were few;
And his dearest hope, from day to day.
Was to keep his balance true;
4 good world this, if every man
The latter thing would do.
He never sighed when little ills
His way of life would cross
And DER tho errors Of his youth,
he showed no vain remorse
But he sat down all that came along
To profit or to loss.
One day the creditor of all
Dropped in for his amount;
He found the old man at his post,
Tho low ran natures fount,
The books were closed and he was borne
Up to his last account
