MARKETING STRkwBEBRuEs While many
superficial or careless managers cannot

STEwED OYSTERS As many vary in re.
gard to cooking oysters, We give our meth
cd OF preparing n stew, and we know it
will please the most fastidious taste. Take
one gallon good oysters, remove them from
the juice carefully, then add to the juice n
quarter Of n pound Of buttcr, aud one
quart OF sweet milk. Pepper and galt TO
the taste, and boil well for twenty minutes.
Now add the oysters, and let them come to
a boil; then serve. You will have a rich
stew, and the oyster will retain its plump
shape and natural flavor.

Night Work.


Tom Moore spoke truly when lac said
that the best of all ways TO lengthen our
days ID 10 steal II few hours from the night.
Only We must steal for a good purpose, not
for pleasure of dissipation, else we are losers
instead OF gamers by the theft. Moderate

health, but rather the contrary, Ifancy, and

aud 10 what old age, nocturnal tOilers and
watchers retain their strength and faculties.

eye, we always regard as snowylocked, yet
vigorous minded, strong famedmen. And

Of three score and ten years; and his success

VIII Run UP STAIRS We do not run in
the street, nor in the park or garden; why
then run up stairs. and then complain that
the stairs are so highy II is difficult to an.
swer this question; nevertheless English
people generally do run up stairs, while
foreigners Ne well satisfied with walking
up. Servants frequently complain of the
height Of the stairs, and leave their places
in consequence. Houses OF six and eight
stories are now built in England, 3 they
are in Paris and Edinburgh. Now, there
is really but little more difficulty in ascend.
ing several flights Of stairs than there il in
walking q straight line, provided We take
sufficient tlmo to 10 it, which should be
about twice as long as we should be in
walking the sam distance in the street.
Walk mp stairs slowly; rest at each landing
again walk steadily and you will reach the
top flight without exhaustion of fatigue

Electro Iron DeDOsIts.

The London Scientific Review discusses
at considerable length the new scheme OF
producing, or rather depositing iron by
electricity, which has occupied the ntten-
ton of French and German exporimenters
for several months. There is IA great de-
sire to keep it II secret; but the process IL
supposed to be analogous to the electro
type. The iron SO produced is not nitro
genous, but pure. 1t will withstand the
action Of hydrochloric acid or sulphuric
acid in the cold, and will, therefore, not
rust in the open mir, 1t is n clear grey
color, and takes a ine polish, With a weak
