Gus bays adopted to the propagation of
this useful article are but little occupied
and the poles indicating the lines Of those
water farms, hardly noticed by tourist
when passing them.
1t is no longer high toned dish in
which the rich alone can revcl, but the
poor man working at moderate wages
can INDUCED in an occasional stew, it
costing no more than fresh beef or pork.
But in conclusion we say, blest be the

Oysters.

Next month will bring us the oyster, as
it contains the letter ''r" which seems to
be closely associated with the little BIZ
valve, warranting and defending Us in the
right to place it upon our bll-of-fare and
eat it with relish comfort and impunity.
The oyster has history which if writ
ten In detail would be rs voluminonS as Il
Legislative Record but not half SO 'dry.'
The origin Of its becoming an article of
diet is lost in obscurity. Tradition says
it was first eaten by Il party Of ship =
wrecked Spanish sailors cast away upon
an island. Gloom surrounded them, 81 ar
walton staring them when this little rough
with it's wings closed up "put in an APP
pearauce" upon the beach. Falling into
their hands, they soon passed into their
lank stomachS, aftording them healthy
nourishment and giving itself Il place Of
distinction among the edible articles Of
the world. AS to the correctness Of the

9th Of September, at Col. Falkner's.
All the members were present.
Mary Thurmond was q little late.
We suggest that the girls be more
prompt. The time is II o'clock.
Promptness is virtue, and if we
do not possess it (many Of us do
nos) suppose we cultivate il.
BJrOn's "Aazeppa" was read as
announced, and the secretary has
nothing to chronicle in regard to
it the least bit exciting. ktter
Miller didn't faint as she led US to
suppose she would. Sue Rogan
sang with much expression, "ln
the cleaning" Etter Murry was
excused on the plea cf hoarseness.
"Awake to Efort"-Mary Thur

we'll recited. 1t is a subject on
which we all should put our
thoughts to work.
"Awake to effort while the day is
shining;
The time to labor will not always
last,
And no regret, repentance or re-
Ri6ing,

past.

And Wiling bow me at the feet

Each word apolishcG priceioss gem

And not a single line o'erwroGght.
No poet ever sung more sweet,
Or pend his vorses more discreet
How rich the lines ihatfsdiSnt roll
RefuIgsnt from the poets soul,
Extolling praises TO 3 just
And upright friend, that one could

Seeking to luIl tie orphans care,
And cheer the widow in despair,
And bidding sorrow ever be
Deep hidden in Obscurity.

MEYDELssonN PIANO Co., New York:
GENTLEMEN--It is pleasure to
play upon your pianos, Nothing
can excel your Uprights in power,
quality Of tone, and elasticity of

have seen on board the European
steamships, where a piano is sub

are the best pianos in the world for
durability.

" Nothing Finished"

I once had the curiosity to look into
little girls work-box And what do
you suppose found?
Well, in the first place, found a
".bead purse" about half done there was,
however, no prospect Of it ever being
finished, for the needles were out, and the
silk upon the spools was all tangled, and
drawn into complete wisp. Laying this
aside took up nice piece of perforated
paper, upon which was wrought one
board of Bible, and beneath it the
words, 81 love" but what she loved was
left for me to guess. Beneath the Bible
board 1 found sock, evidently com
menced for some baby foot; but it had
come to stand just upon the little heel,
and there is seemed doomed to remain.
Near to the sock was a needle-b book, one
cover Of which was neatly made, and
upon the other, partly finished, was
marked, To my dear
/ need not, however, tell you all that
l found there; but this much can say,
that during my travels through that
work.box l found not single article
complete; and silent as they were, these

The Earlier the Easier.

An old man one day took a child on
his knee and talked to him about Jesus
and told him to seek the Saviour now
and pray to Him. The child knew that
the old man was not himself Christian
and felt surprised then he looked up
