Thumbs OF the oyster beds And they seemed
to have faculty of insinuatiug themselves into
the confidence of the gastr0nomic part or our
natures, as though these same oysters
had been at the business for thousand years
Oysters. Letn Northerner think OF going TO
New Orleans unless prepared to feast on thege
luscious bivalyes Of our Southern coast
But with all the pleasures of these scenes OF
Southern winter life, almost as much was
afforded in watching the first mate as he ordered
the score or more of ship hands to the discharge
of their duties Not finding the Kings English
sufficient, he employed such large stock OF
eplthets. foreign. to most of us, and so vigor-
ously, that one of the company denounced him
to the captain as a disgrace to American civiliza-
ton. But he only laughed, and said 1t saved
him from a great deal of it, and that otherwise
he could not get any work out of the hands,
while the indignant complainer, when she really
got acquainted with this rough man, and found
that he had warm and appreciative heart
began to be ashamed of the hasty Judgment she
had rendered. But the hands did their duty all
the same He filled the gangway with them
before it was lowered to the levee or wharf, and
sent them running after the freight in a manner
which was a constant source of amusement
and running rebuke to our previously formed
judgment of the slowness of Southerners in gen
eral. / can see now dozen, whom he had sent
some ten rods up the levee after some meat
They started on the double-quick leaping over
logs and stones, but abating their pace never a
whit until they reached it. But this unwonted
activity in part explained by the captain,
from the fact that the first one at the freight has
choice of the lightest article.
Well, as all days must end so must this, also
All day has the sun shone down with genial
warmth All day the winds had kept themselves
at rest so that nothing might diminish the
pleasure Of the perfect day. The Dagos, whom
we had taken on at one of the lower
neutrality-suspicious. from the refneries on
their way to the city to spend their
hardwon earnings-were cooped up on boxes
with their great bundles, jabbering away in
great contentment while the ships hands, with
duties done. were quietly awaiting the end of
the trip. The cargo began to weight the vessel
until the water swept above the guards. At last,
through the mist and fog of the evening, the
electric lights of the city began to be visible.
Here and there Roman candle or a sky rocket,
shooting heavenward, told me that the holidays
had come in the South, and that New Years
was at hand. Slowly but surely the pilot guided
the vessel to its own wharf, and bidding good
night and goodbye, that had more than com
mon meaning in it, to the master of the Alvin,
and his jolly, big-hearted mate, the party,
laden with oranges, canes and moss, departed
for their rooms, unanimously agreeing that the
best thing SO far had been trip on the Lower
Mississippi.

The Absurdity of 1t.
London Truth.

The genteel British funeral, only just eman-
cipated from the mockery of scarfs, hat-bands,
ostrich feathers and undertakers' upholstery
generally, bids fair to become as absurd in diff
ferent way. The floral frenzy is being carried
to ridiculous and grotesque lengths. can under
stand few flowers being scattered upon the
grave of an innocent child, or even of young
girl-"Sweets to the sweets, by all means-that
is to say in moderation, But to see some hoary
statesman or city capitalist buried under car
load of costly, but altogether inappropriate,
vegetables is really too absurd. Take some old
general. Why should his coffin be piled with
lilies of the valley'and maiden-hair fernsl Was
he a lily of the valley even when he was youngl
Did he look in the least like lily of the valley
of late years, when he told his ole bachelor
stories in. the club smoking-rooml Not bit.
Surely it would be more decent TO put his sword
by his side and his martial cloak around him,
and bury him like man. not like baby.

day. He is a farmer fifty-four years old. rath-
er below the average height, and healthy in APP
pearance. Since he conceived, in 1854, that fre-
Quent eating was injurious, lie has taken only an
ordinary dinner as near noon each day as posi-
bic. He eats slowly, usually occupying half to
three quarters of an hour at the table He does
as much work the average man. Mr. Allen
never used tobacco in any form and never drank
intoxicating liquors. The only indulgence he
grants himself, aside from tho noon meal, is an
occasional apple, or some little fruit, as anyone
else would do.
