Der how, in our childhood, the term of a year
seemed interminable, and we could com

the solemn thought connected with middle

it is the sensation Of half sadness that we
experience when the longest day in the year

shorter, and the light fainter and feebler
tells that nature is Fastening, with gigantic
footsteps to it's wintery grave. So does
man look back upon his youth. When tire

welcome truth fastens upon the mind that q
man is no longer going up hill, but down.

back on things behind. When we were chill

l will not say, (" Remember ne!
Though all too soon we part,
And sadly and regretfully
Thought fingers round my heart.
A few short days of gladness
and sunshine still are ours;
But then will follow saduess;
And moments traced in flowers
May linger in the memory
A pleasant JOY but past
Like a soft and golden sunset
Ill lovely to the last.
And yet do bethink me
That in this life Of ours
Are green and sunny places,
Flushed with the gentle flowers,
That weave their clinging tendrils
Around two kindred minds,
and spite of time or absence,
Their foliage still entwines.
True hearts that feel together,
Are like voice and Lutte
Or the breeze that seeks easement
Where harp is lying mute;
Then when the strings are trembling
Awakes softer thrill,
And with its gentle whispering
Calls out its tone at will.
The breeze may spread its pinions,
But they have caught strain,
While blending with the harp-strings
That cannot die again;
While the lone harp is tuneful
With melody from heaven,
The breeze will sigh more sweetly
With a music caught and given,

In the lily's peaily bell;

That flush greenwood deli.

HOW THE OYSTER BUILDS HIS sEELL.


Mr. Frank Buckland, who conveys instruc-
ton more agreeabl y than any naturalist of
the day, thus explains the manner in which
the oyster builds his shell. The body of
an oyster is a poor weak thing, apparently
incapable Of doing anything at all. Yet what
his delicate frame. When an oyster is first
born he is a very simple, delicate dot, us it
were, and yet he is born with his two shells
upon him. For some unknown reason he
always fixes himself on his round shell, new
er by his flat SHE'LL being once fixed he grows
but he only grows in summer. Inspect
an oyster shell closely and it will be seen
that it is marked with distinct lines. AS the
rings we observe in the section of the trunk
of tree denote years of growth, SO do the
markings OF an oyster tell us how many
years he has passed in his . bed" at the bot
tom of the sea.
Suppose the oyster under inspection was
born June Is, 1870, lie would 60 on growing
up to the first line we see well marked; he
would then stop for the winter. In sum-
mer, 1871, he would more than double his
size. In 1872 he would again add to his
house. I'm 1873 and 1874 he would again go
on building, till he was dredged up IN the
middle of his work in 1875; so that he is
plainly five and half years old. The way
i'll which an oyster grows his shell is pref
ty sight / have watched it frequently.
The beard Of an oyster is not only his breath
ing organ, i. e. his lungs, but also his feeding
organ, by which he conveys his food to his
complicated mouth with its fourlips. When
the warm,, calm days OF June come, the
oyster opens his shell. and by means of his
beard begins building an additional story
to his house. 'Ehishe does by depositlng
very small particles of carbonate of lime,
till at last they form q substance as thin
as silver paper, and exceedingly fragile.
Then he adds more and more, till at last

FLOWERS.

How many farmers are there who will
give the girls 6 two bits, twenty-five cents,
or quarter of a dolar,'' to get some flower
seed of rare and lovely flowers? Alas! too
few are willing to do SO. And yet no mon
cy is so well, SO judciously laid out. 70
please children is to make them happy. 70
be happy is the end of life.
Now is there on this broad earth, any
thing so lovely as a new-blown rose? How
many recollections which are sweet to be
remembered, does it call up?
DO we g old folks ever look far back to

All, yes. well-these young folks are

It has always been a puzzle to me achy a

lady, who was a hotanist, to explain to me

pleased, and answered in lady's way:

up love in its holiest union. Hence itisnat-
