SULruuRou8.--A vcrdant Irish girl, just
arrived, was sent to an intelligence office by
the Commissioner Of Emigration, to find a
place at service. She was sent to restau.

while in conversation with the proprietor,
he took occasion to light his cigar by ignL.

AS soon as the girl saw this, She ran away
half frightened to death, and when she
reached the intelligence Office she was al,
most breathless.

such confusion.

OYSTERS ETIQUETTE. Procure two dozen
oysters. Have them opened and throwth them
into clean basin or soup plate. Take n
small bunch ofparsley, chopped quite small,
little raw lemon-rind ditto, half nutmeg
grated. and the crumb ola stale French roll
also grated. Let the latter be well. mixed
together, adding one drachm, of cayenne
pepper. Have at hand the yolks of three
fresh eggs, beaten up into fluid; dip the
oysters separately into the eggs, and roll
them in the crumb of the loaf until they are
all encased in bread coating or covering.
Put quarter of a pound ofgood butter into
the oven with brisk fire until the former is
fully melted, arranging your oysters on the
tray of the oven at your convenience. Keep
the oysters continually turned until they
assume perfectly brown, crusty appearance.
When fully baked, serve them up with a
plate of bread and butter, cut thin, and use
salt at discretion. A stick of celery eaten
with them adds greatly TO the relish which
the fish impart when served in this way.

Accordingly, tackle was rugged over the

Chile thus engaged they heard cry Of
horror proceeding from the hold, and glanc-

officer, who had descended through the
hatchway, pointing towards cask half hid

barrels piled around it.
What is it? What do you see?'' in
quired the first officer.
"Come down here, sir, for Gods sake,

Followed by several Of his men, the mate
jumped into hOlu ana instantly maue MS way

we'll calculated to awaken feelings Of sorrow
and establishment.
The cask, which was nearly full Of mo-

We will add that the body of the untortu.

Out OF the Tavern.

Out of the tavern I've Just stepped TO night

Right hand and left are both ont Of place

One eye is staring while t'other is shut

Old as you are, It's a terrible shame.
Then the street lamps what q scandnlons
None ofthem soberlystan1ing upright: SIGHT!
Rocking and staggering on my word,
Each Of the lamps is as drunk as a lord!
All is conlusion--now isn't il odd,

Sure it were rash with this crew to remain:
Better go into The tavern agnin.

The EGG a MINIATURE UNIVERSE. The
following remarkable passage occurs in
Professor AgassiZ's 50 Methods of Study OF
Natural History :''-'' One can hardly con.
ceiye the beauty Of the egg as seen through
the microscope ut this period of its growth,
when the whole yolt is divided, with the
dark sranules on enc side; while the other
side, where the transparent halo Of the YES.
icle is seen, is brilliant with light. With
the growth Of the egg these granulcs enlarge,
become more distinct, and under the micro
scope some of them appear to be hollow
They are not round in form, but rather ir,
regular, and under the effect OF light they
are exceedingly Brilliant, brilliant rese..y, instead
OF being scattered equally over the space
they occupy, they form clusters-constela-
tions, as it were-and between these clusters
are clear spaces, produced by the separation
OF the albumen from the oil. At this period
OF its growth there is wonderful resem,
blance between the appearance of the egg
as seen under the microscope, and the fir.
mament with the celestial bodies. The little
cluster. or consultations are equally divided
Here and there they are two and two like
double stars, or sometimes in threes or fives,
or sevens, recalling the Pleiades and the
clear albuminous tracts between are like the
empty spaces separating the stars. This is
simply true that such is the actual appear
ance of the yolk at this time; and the idea
cannot but suggest itself to the mind, that
the thoughts which have been embodied in
the Universe, are recalled here within the
.....o egg. presenting q immature diagram o..
the armament. This is one of the first
changes of the yolk, ending by forming reg
nlar clusters, with n sort of net work OF al
bumen between, and then this phase of the
growth is complete.

The Hopes Of the Freedmen.
THEY BIDE THEIR TIME.
BY JOHN T. SARGENT.

With npturned faces clasping hands In prayer,
hueeliny, in tears, around the bleeding tomb
OF him who babe them mid their sore despair,
" Be free" Still patient, whatsoe'er their doom
They bide their timel They bide their hating time
With broken chains still dangling from their arms,
All hopeful. trusting, mid uncertain light
Watching the struggle of this days alarms,
trhe tyrant's greed against eternal right,)
They bde their time All, yes; they bide their time.
OH where's the liberty they hoped to fndS
tbs but Shado'o yet! ghost they fear;
heeng phanton,toward which, almost blind [drear!
They grope their way alas through the dark ness
But. yet, they bde their time! They bide their time
Ouawed, disfranchised socially disowned;
Denied their rights and almost reensayed,
Oh. when shall all their sufferngs be atoned
Aud they enjoy the boon for which they braved
Our battle fields! All, well They bide their time
Covered with wounds from many bloody fray,
Whose shocks are still within their quivsring flesh
Stricken with wrongs; assaulted every day,
by insults which have oped their wounds afresh
They bide their time They hide the hoped for time
Oh, patient onesi Oh, meek, long-sufferng racel
Bent and oerborne by centuries of wrong!
Be faithful still and God shall give you grace
To see His Kingdom comng! so be strong,
And hide His time! In hope abide His time

The Last Rose of Summer.

The last rose of summer say where shall II bloo,ny
On the grave of the WARRIOR the soldiers sud toinbf
Shall it mark by its color the fate of the brave
Who has fallen in battle his country to saver
Shall it bloom the while in silence it floats
An omen, responding the sea birds sad notesf
While drifting alone on the saltwater wave,
Shall it point TO the tomb, the sailors dark grave
Shall it bloom the heath, where the wild flowers grow
Entaneled with thorn the wild mistletoeS
Its odors unnoticed, its beauty unsesn--
Oh say, shall it fade AS 1t We're but dreams
Shall it bloom in the vase, in beanty's parterre,
Attended with joy and maiden's best carer
taressed by the lovely adored by the gay
Shall it bloom but for this, aud droop and decay?
Oh bol let 1t bloom Ger the grave of the blsst,
Marking out by its presence infant at rest;
Let 1t bloom Ia its beauty upon the green sod
While the soul rests In heaven, In union with God.

tory of the War, in connection with the
death of Mr. Lincoln, is, that no coroners
inquest was ever held on his body; no legal
evidence taken as TO the manner of his
death, nor was single person. accused Of
connection with it, ever brought into a court
of law; nor is there to this day any legal
testimony whatever as to the manner Of his
death, the cause Of it, or Of who killed him.
