THE SInAKESPEAIsE AGE.

1t was an age of passion; of passionate
hates and passionate loves; of eager devo.
tions, OF fervid abhorrences; of infinite
tenderness, implacable 'ferceness; of the
keenest readiness to do or die--to do and
die. The violent, excitlble, ardent, faith
full, wild, impetuous spirits, are they not,
then, tile children of their age? Writhing

them; defiant of law and defiant of fate;
true unto death to each other and their
cause; still intrepid and fixed in the midst
OF trepid fortunes; i'll the very jaws of ruin
uncouquered and unconquerable-it is i'm
possible to observe these men without see-
ing that they are of the same flesh and
blood with those heroes that won for the
reign OF Queen Elizabeth its honor and
glory; that however deluded and damn
able were the uses to which they unworthi-
ly lent themselves, they were not unendowed
with the splendid energy and vafor and
devotion which on other fields achieved
triumphs that to this day we Englishmen
cannot remember without thrill of 10y
and pride. What especially characterized
the Shakespearean age, both for good ana
evil, was the comparatively free play Of
ife-the unfettered movement of nature.
It was the characteristic that made it 80
favorable to art. As in the public exer-
cises of their gynnasia and palastre the
Greek sculptor studied the physical form,
and attained that intimate Familiarity with
it that enabled him to reproduce it with
faithfulness and power never equaled; in
the same manner in our Eizabethan age
our dramatsts studied mind and character,
and were enabled to represent the humors
aud the passions of their time with an
insight and force that place their works
among the most precious records Of hu-
manity. Shakespeare saw ''the very pulse
Of the machine The springs of action
we're disclosed to him. He looked into the
inmost heart of things. "Of, off, you

How oysters Are Fattened.


Very few persons vino feed on the large
and tOothsone oysters which are served III
at the raw boxes of many of the oyster
houses in this city have the renotest idet
from what source the luscious bivalves are
obtained, or in what manner they are fat
tened.
The oysters obtained from Tangier sound,
Lvnnhaven, and what are known as tile
Seaside oysters, are a rather small oys er
lnclosed in an immense she'll, their native
element being salt WAFER. Those oysters,
when dredged and brought to the Balti-
more market, are sold 10 the packers and
Others at the rae of about 60cents burlfei.
Recently q plan has been discovered by
Which the oysters can not only be fattened
in very short time. but their value en-
lIanced at least 150 per cent. Two of the
larger Oyster-packing firms are now en-
gagged in the business, ana the manner of
procedure is described us follows by one
who has watched the opera ion:
When the oysters are unloaded from the
pungieS they are transferred to scows, over
which a deck is built, and ON which deck
the oysters are placed. Each of the scows
will carry deck load of abUut six hundred
bushels of oysters. These scows are then
towed to point in the Patapsco River
near the Ferry Bar Bridge, where the
water is quite shallow.
The vacant space in he scow between
he deck and the bot; ON is filled with wal er
by means of valve, and the scow is sunk
There SHE is left during two food-tides
when the wafer is pumped from her by
means of a small machine provided for The
purpose, and the scow is then towed up to
the city again.
The change from the salt to the fresh
water, and the immersion of the oyster dur
ing these hood-lides it is said fattens them
until what was at first but comparatively
insignificant oyster. becomes plump and
luscious bivalve, filling its entire immense
shell.
After this operation the oysters, which,
as stated, cost originally about go cents a
buslre' ARE placed on he market.and readi-
ly command from 81 so to 81 80 a bushel.
Yesterday there were seven scowloads of
these oysters immersed, and the firms en-
gagged in the business have twelve scows
constantly employed. The whole operation
is under The supervision of one man, who
under axes the fa tening for consideration
of 10 cents a bushel, the firms furnishing
all the appliances.

THE STUDY 0F LANGUAGE.

In the study of languages for practical
purposes I have found that courage in
speaking is the very best means Of ad-
vancing. Far more is learned by the exer.
else of the tongue, which is necessarily ao-
tive, than by that Of the ear, which is
necessarily passive. 1t is common vanity
for people to say tliat they understand
better than they Can talk. Such cases are,
l believe, rare. Generally speaking, it is
more easy to convey ones thoughts by
signs and language to others than to re-
ceive their thought. The art of language
learning is one that requires no superior
capacity. There is not much difference in
the ages at which the different children are
able to express their emotions, and il Lam
guages were learned as children learn them.
they would be found easy Of requirement.
1t is scarcely more difficult to acquire fvs
languages than one, and I have known
many instances of five or more languages
spoken with equal purity and perfection.
The proof Of the thorough possessions o.
language is that you are able to think ir
it, and that no work Of translation goes ON
in the mind. For myself I often dream
in other languages than English, and find
that associations with particular counties,
and particular studies do not take the form
OF English phraseology; but this, of course,
depends ON the extent to which foreign
languages have been employed in the daily
business of life.-RecoIlections Of Isr John.
