The Giants CauseWay,

Of the Giants Causeway itself, it is difficult to give an intelligible descrip- tion, says an American writing from Europe. It is certainly unlike anything have heretofore seen, and also unlike the idea I had formed of it from reading the description. If descriptions could not give me the proper ideh, I must hesi- tate to communicate it by any words of mine. Two grand amphitheatres facing the north are hewn in the rocks on the coast, their background rising to a helght of APO feet above the water. On the upper faces of those amphitheatres are column rocks, not unlike the Palisades, of the Hudson, but more perfectly formed. On the eastermost verge, a high, bold headland extends into the sea. Between the two, another headland, not so bold, but broken down at the end, also extends into the sea. On the side of.this is the organ, and from the top rise the chimneys. In front is the Lovers Rock, 8 leap from which, 400 feet, into the sea, is sure cure for love. These two amphi- theatres are the setting enclosing the Causeway. It stretches out from the western amphitheatre 1000 feet into the sea. It is low down-so low that dur ing gales the water entirely covers It. and it gradually slopes down until lost to view under the water. Suppose that some one had driven about four thous- and piles into the water, as closely to- gether as they could be placed, with their tops very nearly leveled off, though somewhat irregular, and an idea can be got of the .Canseway. Suppose, further, that all these piles were stone columns, accurately cut and polished into prisms varying from three to nine sides, no two of them shaped exactly alike, yet all of them so accurately fitted together that water can scarcely penetrate the seams, and there will be an idea of the forma- tion. Then take every column and break it into pieces from one to two feet long, but leave them all standing, and cut off the tops so that some will be foot higher than others, and there will be an idea of the surface. These columns, whilst so accurately fitted, can yet be taken apart without trouble, ana in fact, the Causeway, some time ago, was in danger of being carried off bodily, until the Lord of the manor stopped it.

fathers family were sick and hastened to them. There were eleven in that family. Before 4 o'clock the next day he had laid out seven with his own hands without help.
 There were three brothers, bankers, with families, named Luke, all good churchmen, whose three families are utterly extinct, not one left alive. This is not yellow fever it is the plague. Within m hour after death the bodies turn black. The negroes suffer terribly. Sometimes they are taken sick on the street, and turn and lie down on the nearest porch and die there. They will not help each other The brother for sakes his sister, and the wife her hus- band and children. Those among them who are well suffer very much from hunger. They are laborers and mechan- ics, and depend upon their daily wages. But all work is stopped, all stores closed. In trouble they always turn to the whites, and never in vain. The Howard Association supports them, nurses them, and buries them when they will do noth- ing for each other.

TyrOlese Customs.

There is a curious custom in Unter Innthal at the commencement of court ship, which is styled " bringing the wine." A youth, having made choice of his maiden, and been allowed permis- sion to visit her, presents himself with bottle of wine, glass of which he presents to his fair one If she accept it, she is regarded as bis braut, but if she has not quite made up her mind, she will make every possible excuse to avoid tasting it for the present, without, however, on any account giving point blank refusal. Should the wine be spilled, or bottle or glass be broken, it is looked upon as 0 most unfortunate omen and the peasant, when he wishes to describe an unhappy marriage, merely says, "they have spilled the wine be- tween them" In the Ampezzo valley, a betrothed girl is called " novice," and is placed under the charge of an elderly female, who goes by the name of "bron- tolo," "the growing bear," and from whose side she may not stir until the knot has been happily tied ; the poor bridegroom being obliged, most unwil- hngly, to submit himself unrepinmgly to her restrictions.

The American Oyster.

American oysters surpass in size and fatness all other oysters of the world. They are found all along our seashore, from Maine to Mexico, but in greatest abundance and most generous growth from Long Island Sound to Chesapeake Bay. On the Pacific coast the oyster is not nearly so large as on the Atlantic, although the little oysters of California are much esteemed for their flavor. In England oysters are both small and scarce. Tt is not mere size that makes the oyster desirable. Some very large oysters are Aabby and watery, and make poor eating. Until comparatively re- cent improvements in rapid transporta- tion the luxury of fresh oysters was Q rarity to dwellers in the inland parts of the United States. Even as far east as Pittsburg "shell oysters were so far from common as to be the subject of special signs in restaurant windows. The general public who ate oysters par took of the canned article. Twenty years ago people in Illinois advertised as a special attraction at church fairs and other festivals such canned oysters as we of the seaboard would consider hardly fit to offer to dogs. Since that time great improvements have been made in canning, and canned oysters may now be quoted as really fit to eat when freshly opened ones cannot be procured. An immense canning business is done in Philadelphia, as well as in Baltimore and New York.

A Form of Prayer.

The following circular has been issued to the clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States At Il meeting of the Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States the following form of prayer was pre- pared, and recommended for use during the prevalence of yellow fever.
 PRAYER.
 Almighty God, our refuge and strength in time of trouble, give ear to our prayers in behalf of Thy people who at this time are suffering under grievous sickness and mortality, and hide not Thy face from them in this season of their distress. Remember them in mercy, not ill wrath, and stretch forth Thy mighty hand to stay this pestilence. Heal the sick and deliver them not over unto death. Cover with the shield of Thy protection all those who are exposed to danger. Strengthen the weak hearted comfort the bereaved and desolate, and give to them that are sorrowful beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Bestow Thy blessing upon those at home and abroad who minister to the relief of the afflicted. Sanctify this visitation to the good of this whole nation, humbling our hearts, binding us in sympathy one with another, and by Thy grace making us people serving God and working righteousness. So may we live to honor Thy name and extol Thy mercy, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
