81 Would Eat Some Oysters
[From Forest and !Stredm.l


There is a weird story of an oyster eater,
which still floats around the wharves at Balti-
more, where oyster boats do congregate. One
morning, twas years ago, the sloop Martha
Mary came from some oyster bed on the Chesa-
peake, laden gunnel deep with prime OYSTERS
and was moore ed safely alongside of a Baltimore
wharf. The skipper, pleased with the pros
poets of the voyage, louDged on the wharf,
awaiting customer.
There came to this captain lean, lank, and
sallow-faced man, who said, with a cavernous
voice. 81 would eat some oysters"
Plenty on board, there!" was the bluff re-
ply.
But would pay for what 1 eat" interposed
the stranger.
Gan, right, go aboard; eat your till for a
quarter" cheerily replied the skipper, for in
those early times oysters were worth not more
than fifteen cents bushel.
Willingly" said the thin man, producing
with alacrity the old Spanish quarter with the
pillars on it, the coin of that time, and drawing
large rusty oyster knife from his pocket. Then
the thin man opened the hatch of the little YES
sci and dived below.
The captain went to his breakfast. The meal
over, he returned to his slOOp. Below he heard
the measured clnk of an oyster knife. He
thought little about it, only said, 4" He has a
good appetite" Oysters were not rapid of sale
that day, as two more oyster smacks had come
in, and purchasers were slack. Makes no
matter ;" said the captain; "the weather is cold,
them oysters ia sound, and they will keep in
prime order for a week"
That captain went to dinner. A gain he paced
MS little vessels deck, and still he heard the
monOtonous, incessant "clink, y fclink, " from
below, working away with mechanical regular
ity. AnXiously, then, that captain strobe along,
and was full of fear. AS the sun set, still the
clinck of the oyster knife was heard In terror
the captain fed from bis smack. Next morning
early, as he approached the wharf, still his at
frigbted ear heard the click. He could stand it
10 longer. Rushing below, scattering aside
whole heaps of empty shells, he found the lean,
lank and cadaverous man still opening away at
the very bottom of the vessel.
"They are good" said the cadeverous man,
swallowing with artistic tiirt singularly large
oyster, but scarce as salty as like em eff
had had cracker, or just dash of vinegar,
mehbe l mibgt have eDgyed 'em more. See
here. Gaping, it's just case of knife with me.
This ere oyster knife, !" and he held up the at
teDuated blade, worn now to the size of a pen
knife, wasn't good steel, or | might have had
my I'LL, - and saying this he slowly and deliber-
ately climbed up the hatchway, and still lank
and lean disappeared in the distance.

An Educational Revival Needed.

Rapidly as the number of scholars has OF late
advanced in the best endowed universities, it
seems to me to bear no adequate relation to the
increasing demand of the times and the growth
OF the population. Am extrayagant If | est-
mate tie proper proportion of scholars who
should be fitting themselves for the great work,
at this university alone, (iarvard at no less
than ten thousand? In order to meet the ext
gencies of the times, there should spring up an
enthusiasm for learning such as of yore burst
forth IN the great institutions o Europe. Quite
six centuries ago, when Great Britain had moth
ing like its present aggregate of population, and
even that now falls below ours, 1t is affirmed in
the books that at Oxford there were no less at
one time than thirty thousand scholars. At the
university in Paris at about the same time there
there were twenty five thousand. at Bologna,
the students of law alone numbered ten thou
sand. Conceding any measure OF exaggeratiOn
in these figures, the fact of the existence of this
enthusiasm is attested beyond reasonable dis
degree OF zeal in the youthful generation of
that day, which is the condition precedent of all
true national advancement anywhere. | be-
heved the great want of the time among US in
America is a little more of this enthusiasm. We
are apt to measure education not so much by
tude of minor institutions spread abroad over
the country, which are doubtless good as far as
they go, but they cannot go very far. At such
places enthusiasm becomes difficult, if not i'm
possible If lighted at all, the fire must be
spread by the teacher among numbers working
together. In the days of my youth at this uni
versity capnOt disguise my impression that
the method was formal, mechanical, and cold.
No scholar dreamed of sympathy with him in
his difficulties, or regarded his exercise other
which be lost credit, or at best won step over
his comrades by success. In either event the
teacher 10 oked like Minos or Rhadamanthus-

"You viii trust NE: take me as am, and be-
come my wife?'s
&" i will"
No other word was spoken, but two hearts
were perfe city happy.
OF course. Arthur Lichtfoct and his wife OBJ
jected and decidedly refused, bat Leone was
q. termmcd. IL was no romance with her, and
when She fatty tpld them she would m rry
Clarence without their consent, they made u
virtue of a nccessitv and gave il, consoling
tht Dselves with the thought that, after all, his
beirg a stranger and poor man was really the
only faults that they could find in him.
At the request OF the parties most interested
twas quiet wedding, just six months after the
meeting of the lovers, and DR.. Wells and Far
mer ,Iessops family were only invited, and TO
this day the good old lady has not ceased to
gossip about the magnificent tronssesu the
bride bad and the quiet happiness that shone
i'll the eyes of the young couple.
II bad been decided that the bridal tour
should be to Europe, as Clarence Ainsie said
u at business would call him there soon, and
MIR. ard Mrs Lightfoot had been persuaded to
accompany them; so the lay after the wedding
the New York steamer bore happy quartet
frCm the land of free America.
Arriving safely in England, a few DAYS were
passed quietly at TIE hotel, and then, by an in
vitation from Clarence Ainslie, the party
started out to visit the spot where he had passed
Through meadow lands and lovely country
the carr age drove, until Suddenly Clarence,
who was driving, heeled into a grand gateway
leading TO the superb country seat of some man
of wealth.
A few moments rore, and the carriage drew
up before the marble steps of an elegant man
sion-one of those old rambling structures often
found in England-and springing lightly to the
ground, the Engiishman said, while merry
light twinkled in his eye:
. leore, welcome you TO your home. Mr.
ard Mrs. LightfOot, Lord Clarence Ainslie begs
that you will accept the hospitality of Ainslie
Castle"
Tears filled the beautiful eyes of Leone
Arthur Lightfoot's cheek colored, but he was
silent, willie, after a seconds hesitation. his
wife exclaimed:
" Clarence Ainsle you are cheat. Why,
thought you were a Western farmer"
That was all the land / owned in America
purchased it, and built a shooting box there
on, because l was fond of your Western sports
ard in America was simply MIR. Ainslie; here
! am Lord Clarence, of Ainslie Castle. Am
forgiven"
Reader, we all have too much human nature
now days, to for a moment suppose the de-
ception practised was not pardoned by one and
all; in fact, Mrs. Lightfoot says she likes to be
deceived. and in this case Arthur echoes the
opinion of his wife,"

THE LONDON ARTIsTs.-There is popular
delusion that artists usually have picturesque
MISUNDERSTANDING after the fashion of re-
fined brigands; but any one who had seen the
academy in procession at the funeral of Land
seer, the other day, might have taken them for
steady going professional or commercial men.
Many were shaved, with spectacles and high
stick-up collars, and had the shrewd, solid looks
of q city merchant. There were boards, but not
fantastic boards, nor long, disheveled hair. In
deed, as far as hair goes, they were much as
other men. Milliss shapely brow and smooth
cheeks Tom Faed's broad rudy, good-humored
face, CalderOns close black beard and Spanish
features, and WOolner's head, were easily dis
tinguished in the thrOng. By a sort of tacit un-
deIstanding great warriors and artists are bu-
ried in st. Peter's, while great statesmen and
men of letters are buried IN Westminster abby
and 1t is well, no doubt, that there should be
this understanding, ito which, however, there
are occasional exceptions, in order to prevent
unseemly tonting and wrangling between the
digDltaries OF the rival cathedrals for the bones
OF deceased worthies.-COrresponde NEG York

THE LIGHT CURE.-There has been, certain
ly, talk enough on "curative properties eflight'
going the rounds of our papers, for some time,
and the matter has been duly bandi ed about
from mouth to mouth among our physicians;
but have we really given the subject the careful
study that its importance demands, or made
the practical applications that are necessary to
secure the desired happy results? We cannot
honestly answer the question with decided af-
nrmative. The physician of the Emperor of
Russia, sometime ago, had rooms fitted up in
hospital at st. Petersburg. for the express pur-
pose of testing the curative powers Of light;
and, in report, just published, says that the
number of patients cured in the lamply lighted
rooms, was four times as large as where similar
cases were treated in comparatively dark
careful, systematized Investigation; and we
again call the attention Of our medical experts
to it, trusting that they will not leave us in the
dark, when 50 much light is evidently needed.

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.-A singular libel suit
Sas recently been occupying the attention OF a
New York Court, the particulars Of which make
up romance in real life. Many years ago the
young daughter of q dsreputable woman mar
RED gambler, but upon her mothers refusing
to receive him the daughter received divorce
from her husband and married a wealthy New
York lawyer The secret of her birth was care
fully kept from the world. The mother became
religious, and the married pair were happy and
respected by ALL The wife at one time tried to
be an actress, and her husband leased Burton's
OLD theatre, where she played for a few weeks
to empty houses. Since that unfortunate ep-
isode the lady has not attracted public attention
until recently, when she and her husband APP
peared as plaintiffs In a suit against her di
vorced husband, who had attempted to levy
blackmail on them. 1t appears that he had de-
termined to make his divorced wife support him
Tor the rest OF his life, and threatened that un-
less he was paid $3.50 in cash, $3.50 per annum
during his life and policy of $4,000 on his life,
ne would publish pamphlet containing the
story OF the ladys origin, and would prove that
ner divorce from him had been fraudulently OBJ
tained. he secured the services Of q clergyman
to negotiate this scheme, who advised the lady
to pay the money rather than revive the scan
dal that would follow. The husband, however
at once brought an action, in the name of his
WE, against the blackmailer and his go-be-
tween, boldly accepted the consequences Of
publicity, and at the same time proved the fel.
low to be the most contemplate Of villains, and
permanently spiked his guns.

A Strapping Joke.

a French musician has been creating consid-
cradle social and public distur bance by his in
veterate disposition to play practical jokes.
His chief object in life seems to be to worry
custOmh house officials. Arriving at a place on
the frontier, provided with a quantity of lug
gage, he would pretend to conceal huge trunk
and a smaller one from the eyes of the officials
only the more to excite their curiosity. At last
the larger trunk would be opened. 1t would be
found to contain thousands of second hand
uouser straps-an appendix of trousers now
perfectly obsOlete-which had evidently been
packed by hydraulic pressure, for the most
frantic efforts on the part of the employees could
not put them back again into the trunk In the
meantime hundreds of passengers storm at the
detention, while the practical joker calmly
looks on at the bother he is causing. But the
second and smaller trunk has now to be exam
med, andthe custom house people hope there to
find him in default. They ask for the keys.
The practical joker draws punches of ponder
Gus keys from every one of his pockets; none
will lit. until, at last, their patience exhausted
the custOm-h house officer threaten to burst the
trunk open. Then the possessor of the trunk
calmly asks the officer II he is married. "What
business is that Of yours ~ is the surly reply:
"ODly this that before you open that trunk
would advise you to go home, shake hands with
your wife, kiss your little children, write your
will, and call at an undertaker's as you come
back. There are rattle snakes In that trunk.
L never travel without them" Of course the
man leaves the trunk instant y, and a messen-
ger has TO be sent to the head director, who Is
shrewd enough to be aware that he has to deal
with some practical joker Presently the Off
cial returns and asks p0mpously, GLOW many
snakes have you, sir ?" Only six, is the reply
''look for yourself" Oh! only six. The head
Of the department says six snakes can pass, but
that seven would have to pay duty. 1 am also
directed to state to you that If you do not leave
this offce-trouser straps, snakes, and all-in
i've minutes, you will be forcibly elected"
"And who is to repack my precious straps, a
collection unequalcd in the history of the world?
The law entities me to all my goods. You took
them out; put them back again. The best Pc
Rod of my life is being devoted to finding pairs
for these straps.o

not believed.
But SO it was, for each day proved to her that
she had met her beau ideal; and yet was he for
her? Might he not already have loved? Might
he not already be married?
The thought chilled her very heart: and yet,
when she saw the dark fascinating eyes turned
upon her with admiration, and read-or hoped
she Gid-therein deeper, holier feeling,
Leone felt happy, and lOnged to be a very
slave, and become mere aQtOmaton to the ca
price of Clarence Ainslie.
Now, Arthur LightfOot and his pretty wife
looked upon him as a poor English emigrant,
petty Western farmer, and did not like the idea
that he should wholly control the heart of
Leone, for they were not blind to her devotion
to the wounded man.
Still they could not but admire the courteous
manner OF their stranger guest, when, after six
weeks, he sufficiently recovered to join them in
the parlor and at dinner.
That he had been reared gentleman was
evident, and that he had travelled and seen
something of the world was also evident as was
also that Mr.. and Mrs. Lghtfoot had never seen
handsomer man, they were compelled to ad-
NIT; but that Leone, the belle, the heiress, and
most lovely woman of the day, should love an
unknown and poor Englishman-bah! the
thought, even. was ridiculous.
When the trunk of Clarence Ainslie arrived,
for he had sent for it as soon rs he was able to
speak, Mrs Lightfoot paced around it for half
an hour in the vain endeavour to find some
thing plebeian about it: but the trunk was a
good one, English make. and bore on 1t simply
the 1n letters &c. A., England" ,.
woman ordered 1t sent to the sick mans room,
and sought her chamber.
Arthur, Leone really loves that wounded
man, and what will become of 1t alls"
sit is LeOne's romance, little wife; she will
recover from it; few tears at parting; hard
riding for her poor horse: q few sentimental
songs, and all will be over"
"But, Arthur, suppose it should not be; sup
pose he should love her; for you know he's poor
and she's rich-what them"
"Well, he cannot have her, that's ALL" And
Arthur Lightfoot went out for q drive.
At length the hour came for Clarence Ainslie
to depart, for no longer could he impose upon
the kindness Of his host and hostess, and, deter
mined to leave that evening, he asked to see
Leone alone.
With pale face but quiet manner, the young
girl entered the room, and stepping forward
Clarence Ainsie said, feelingly
Miss Lightfo0t, no longer can impose upon

tinued:
