81 MAY not wish to live in crowds,
Miss Fluv, but still am not oyster, ~
said Miss Susan Nippcr, evidently with
the impression that the oyster is 4 sort
oi hermit, who delights in living in Sc
cluded spots, cut off from the society OF
his species. In this Miss Nipper was
mistaken. The oyster not only is not
fond OF lie, but he is, when you get
we'll acquainted with him, one OF the
iolliest and most festive OF animals.
Even what little we can learn of the
oyster i'm crowded cities goes to prove
this. No one ever saw a secluded Oys-
tor I'm the city. They are always either
embracing each otherin big bushel bask-
cts. hundreds of them together, or snug
cling up To one another on Il saloon
counter under a great cake OF ice. And
it is the same in the country from which
the oyster is supposed to hail-not the
country of green fields and oak trees and
fresh milk, but the country OF sea wa
fer and salt marshes and bays and in
lets. There they lead the happiest sort
of existence, having nothing to do but
lie i'm bed and iatten and improve gem
orally without the slightest eXcrtiOn, I'M
iii the fall days come. These fall days,
however. bring danger to the nicely
iattencd oyster. The LIST ol September
is To the oyster what Thanksgiving Day
is to the turkey. There is no safety in
the cool weather, and the oysters know
1t well.
