How to Cook an Oyster.

You are quite right in the abstract
when you cay "the best way to cook an
oyster is to eat it raw" Now, any
where outside the limits of dear old
Mobile, that is a truism that can't be
denied. If you choose to call vile MUIR
der and cowardly assassination cooking,
why then they can cook oysters else
where than in Mobile. How often has
my breast heaved with indignation and
my face flushed with very rage to see
my darling ostrea-is that your scien-
tiic name for ?-ruthlessly handled
and manipulated by vile cooks, who fer
their ignorance and their stupidity

in this respect. When last l was North
Il hope they are now more civilized in
that particular-you couldn't get
proper roast or broil. Now, to broil an
oyster they rolled it in some sort OF
corn-meal, as if they were to fry it,
while for roast you must either have
it served IN a sort of tin pan, or, as they
said, on the half-shell. Now all this is
simply barbarous. brutal and sacrile-
gious; and those who would so treat the
succulent and delicious oyster are fit lor
treason, stratagems, and spoils.
Ills no wonder that oylters object to
being cooked in that manner Now,
with us, as the children cry for the
" Early Bird Vermifuge" and mourn be-
cause "Mrs Winslow's Soothing Syrup"
is denied them, so do our divine crusta-
ceans grow unhappy and hang their
heads In sorrow when they find they are
to be eaten raw. Now let me tell You
how we broil oysters here. Given
double gridiron that folds together, and
a sufficient number of the bivalve IN
pltris naturdlj6us-to roll them in any
thing is to spoil them; grease the bars
of the gridirn, which prevents their

Audubon always said in reference to
birds-into melted butter; place them
on the utensil. A brisk fire of charcoal
is, of course, necessary, over which they
are to be broiled. Meantime thew
should be constantly basted with butter.
When done, serve on very hot toast and

Afterward, any condiment can be added,
and by that time the servant comes in

Are You claiming !

II you are gaining n little every day,
be content. Are your expenses less than
your income, so that, though it be a
little, you are yet constantly accumulat-
ing and growing richer every day? Be
content, for as concerns money, you are
doing well. Are YOU gaining knowledge
every day? Though it be little by little,
the aggregate of the accumulation, where
no day is permitted To pass without add
ing something To the stock, will be sun
prising to yourself. Solomon did not
become the wisest man in the world in
minute. Little 10y httle-never emitting
to learn something, even for single day
always reading, always studying a
little between the time of rising up III
the morning and lying down at night
this is the way TO accumulate q full
storehouse of knowledge. Finally, are
you daily gaining in character ? BE not
discouraged because it be little by little.
The best men fall far short of what they
would wish to be. 1t is something; it is
much, if you keep good resolutions bet
ter to-day than you did yesterday, better
this year than you did last year. Strive
to be perfect, but do not become down
hearted so long as you are approaching
nearer and nearer to the nigh standard
at which you aim. Little by little fort
unes are accumulated; little by little
knowledge is gained; little by little char
acter and reputation are achieved.
