WYE T WAVE.

Out OF the bosom OF the sea.
From dim, r CHI coasts eye may not see,
b. vlst aud urging forces blent,
Untired untiring and unspent.
h glad waves speed them n by one
and, goal a ttained and errand done,
They lap the s tnds and softly lave
wave af er wave, wave after wave.
A stirred by longing for repose
Higher and higher each ave goes,
striving to clasp with foann-white n
The yielding aud eluding sands;
And still the sea, relentless, grim,
Calls his wild truauts back TO him;
Recalls the liberty he gave
Wave after wave, wave after wave.
All sad at heart and desolate
They heed the call, they bow to fate;
And outward swept, "A baffled train,
Each feels his fort was iu vain;
But fed by impulse lie q t by each
The gradual tide upon the beach
Rises to full, and thunders brave,
Waves after wave, wave after wave.
All, tired, discouraged heart and head,
Look up, aud be thou comforted
Thy puay effort nay seem vain,
Wasted thy toll and naught thy pain,
Thy brief sun quench Itself in shade.
Thy w%orthiest strength be weakness a
Caught up in one great wheiniog grave.
Wave after wave, wave after water.
Yet stu, though battle ed o denied,
Thy spended strength has swetled thetide
A feathers weight where oceans roll
One atom In a mighty whole

MarsnaIs and notes and counts as his;
His threads to bind, his sands to save,
His tides TO build, wave after wave.

Raking Oysters by Steam.
The Method Of Dredging in Use in New
Haven,

Mr.. Rowe, of East Haven, Conn.,,
the owner of extensive oyster beds, re-
Gently took a number of gentlemen
connected with the ne wspaper press TO
witness the manner of steam dredging
for oysters. Nj. Rowe took the party
down to the govern nent breakwater, at
the junction of the harbor with Long
Island Sound. Here, within the
break water, and a mile or two outside
we're three steam dredges raking up
oysters from the too thickly settled
beds, and placing them upon other
more sparsely populated beds In the
vicinity. AT this time they were nsh'
ing in forty feet of water, but MI.
Rowe said he had oyster beds further
out In the Sound that were ~ feel I'M
der water, and he could fish them up
about as easily as he could in ~ feet
the difference being in the length OF
haul. The dredge, attached TO q chain
about an inch in diameter, which ID
worked by steam, is cast off from the
side of the steamer. The chain rests
on a roller, and there are rollers ~ the
sides OF the opening. This dredge Is
slowly drawn over the oyster beds,
and at each haul two or three or more
| bushels Of oysters are taken. 1t re-
| ouires from five TO ten minutes TO
make a haul. The little steam propel-
lers of forty tom are capable of carry
ing 800 bushels from one bed to the
other. The sixty-ton steamer on
which the party were is capable of car
rying !, 800 bushels Some of the small
oysters taken at this time were opened
and they were of good flavor. A
schooner ia employed by Mr.. Rowe to
carry oyster shell. and place them
upon the oyster beds that were raked
over last season. 1t is found b a q
bed Of shells is much better than
branches of trees for breeding purposes.
A thin layer of live oysters Is spread
over the shells, to which the spawn
adheres, and in about two years good
size oysters are fished out. In tubs
way the oyster beds are made and cul-
tivated, and the process has made
oyster shells worth eight cents a
bushel, whereas they were formerly
worthless. Steam dredging has
brought about this result. Mr.. Rowe
says the oyster beds can be well u 8
tanned by steam dredging and by the
reproduction on oyster shells. Other
wise he would not use steam dredges
on his own beds. He finds that he
cannot only sustain but increase bis
supply, by using modern improve
ments-equalizing his beds and culti-
waiting new ones-all Of which be can
do readily and with profit by the use
OF smaller steam vessels.

Discouraging French Military
Swells.

The Marquis de Galliffet, who COM
maDds the Twelfth Corps d. Armee, Is
not satisfied with the eclat he gain ed
in political circles by his recent con-
version TO Republlcanism, or by his
friendship with NJ. Gambetta. He re-
quires something more, and forgetful
of those traditions he 30 highly guilt
waited when he was a young ann bril-
hane off GER, using every art and strata
gem to win the heart of the handsome
and wealthy daughter of Charles
Lsfhtte, he has INDUCED in a long
diatribe against what the officers of the
French service term fantasia" He
has levelled his pen against those who
have attempted to embellish the uni
form of the Republic, and in the circu-
lar he has recently issued he calls the
attention of those who are under his
orders to the regulations of the service
and the patterns which have been
deposited In the Army Clothing De-
partment. General de Galllffet accuses
some of his officers of wearing jackets
with absurdly wide sleeves. He
makes the same complaint about shirts,
and taurts those who display a "clean
boiled rag" as Artemus Ward has
called 1t. The inexpressibles are, ae-
cording to the Marquis, made too tight
in the leg and too wide at the bottom,
where they fall over the boots, which
have been made so ridiculous that
they resemble far more the shoes worn
by the courtiers In the days of Henry
II. than a useful article for a horseman
who has to do plenty of rough work.
General de Galliffet has not limited
his objections to costume alone; he
evidently wears the regimental barber
In his hsart and has q regard for the
Figaros of the garrison towns. He
says: "Omcers now wear their hair
In such q manner as to permit q part
ing back and front, and in many
cases the hair is plastered down on the
forehead, giving al extensively
effeminate appearance" In fact, the
General declares that he preceives
with the utmost regret an inclination
on the part of his officers ito follow
the fashions which have been intro
duced by a certain class of civilians,
who, though young, are neither con-
s~picuous for their intelligence nor for
their manly tastes"

PENIS GROVE. SALEM COUNTY, N J. SATURDAY. AUG

sound was repeated, and h knew 1t
to be a moan of some one in pain.
She halloed, and q faint voice an
swered her. 1t was many minutes be-
fore she made out the situation, which
we shall In q few words.
A man had been hunting on the
mountain. Returning lie had lost his
way, and the mist had closed down
around him. Wandering hither and
tnither, he had missed his footing at
last, and fallen over the precipice.
Down, down, brushing against pro-
jectiDg crags. until he clutched the
branches of a scraggy pine tree, which
had found root in a crevice and grew
horizontally from 1t, thus saving him
from the certain death which would
have met him below. He was cling
ing there still to the frail support, but
he was chilled and numbed by the
mist, and felt that he could not much
longer retain his hold. This much
Bretta learned, and calling out her as
surance of speedy aid, fed up the
mountain path to her home.
Soon she was back with ropes,
which she securely fastened and threw
down to him. With renewed hope he
gained new strength and following
Bretta's directions, climbed slowly,
resting wherever he could find foot
hold, and ere long he stood with her
upon the ledge.
Her strong young arm aided him up
the pathway, and the cottage reached,
he sank down weak and trembling,
all his over taxed strength gone for
the time. 1t was days before he was
we'll enough to leave, and meantime
he won Bretta's confidence until she
told him of the Spirit of the Mist
which had appeared to her.
He made her promise to take him to
the place, and when he was well again
they went there together. Only the
mist hung in thick darkness about the
spot the spectral figure did not ap-
pear.
at will not come" Bretta said,
when they had waited. She was
scarcely disappointed, after having
looked for 1t 40 many times before.
"Ah," the gentleman replied, "if 1T
is what 1 think, you will only see 1t
when the 400 is full"
AfteIwarc, when he was gone, Bretts
remembered his words and proved
them true. Any night that she visited
the ledge when the noon was full and
mist gathered there, she would behold
the spirit, but at no other time was 1t
visible.
Time sped away, and Bretta no
longer lived in the matched cottage
upon the mountain. Good Dame
Breitmann was laid beside her dear
ones in the churchy ard, and the gen.
tleman whom the n' untain maid q
rescued, and who had since kindly in
terested himself in her welfare, TOOK
Bretta to his home, to be educated and
provided for with his W daughters.
But one thing which Bretta's studies
might have taught her she would
never believe. II was regarding an
optical illusion produced by certain
degrees of light and density of air,
and which explained the figure h
had seen as nothing more than her
own shadow thrown against the mist.
But Bretta went on believing In the
spirit to the last.

Novel Use of Glaciers.

The enormous glacier Fonor SVarti-
sen, on the SEMEN Island in Norway,
which is the northernmOst OF its kind
in Europe, will shortly, says Nature,
be made the object of a remarkable
enterprise 1t appears that a number
of speculative merchants in Bergen
have obtained the right of cutting
block-ice for export from its surface.
Some blocks have already arrived at
the latter place, and as the quality I
the ice has been found to be good,
large shipments may be expected.
The glacier is about 100 square miles,
and as the distance from its borderssto
the sea is only a couple of miles, the
Ice may be obtained very cheaply. A
similar attempt TO utilize the glazier
F~olgefondeu was made some years
age, but failed. owing to the blocks in
their downward course repeatedly
breaking through the wooden bore or
conductor in which they were slid
down to the sea.
