gross. The law requires the questions put
by the enumerators to be answered, and
prescribes a fine of a hundred dollars for
refusal.

Perhaps the greatest number of sturgeon
taken in the Delaware river at a single
haul in late years was captured one day
last week by George Sheppard, OF Salem.
He found forty-ouc of the big fish in his
net. Had they acted with anything like
unanimity they might have regained their
freedom and left Mr.. Sheppard a net not
worth %mending. Each sturgeon iloundered
among the cordage independently of his
fellows, and, though the meshes were
badly torn, the rents made were Nowhere
large enough to allow any of the catch to
escape. AS they were being hauled one

that, without danger Of wreekage, he could
not take them all aboard. Sixteen were
turned loose, and the remaining twenty
five Mr.. Sheppard sold for 5000.

Notes BY the Way.
=" Learn to make the most of life,
Lose no happy day,
Time will never bring thee back

Chances swept away"
This worn but true stanza has made
footprints, as it were. in our minds path
during tho past week. 1t was penned in
our album a number of years since, when
we were one of the happiest and one OF the
most thoughtless of school girls, and it
had but little meaning for us THEY'VE
had not known of what life consisted
scarcely since we had never been required
to analyze 1t in a very great degree. Ours
was n long-and we are afraid Idle
'happy day." But 10, were VT happy in
idleness? Still VIC don't think 1t was alto
getber idleness, or if it was it was n very
dreamy, a very thoughtful idlcness. In
short, we were always building castles in
the air" so OF course were happy. Since
those school days, however, We think we
have learned more thoroughly what life is,
MS we have been permitted to see it in va
rious aspects, and as we go along are try
ing to make the most of it. And much
can we learn to make Of life if we pay at
tention to the lutie things which go to
make up our existence on this terrestrial
sphere.
The old home-roof does not ALWAYS last,
and no doubt it is best so, else We would
never be so fully thrown on our own re-
sources, or never learn so well how
much of strength o. of weakness there is
III our natures. To those of our sisters
who have never been called forth from this
'home tree except through a transplant
ing from the old to the new nest, from the
fathers to the husbands care, to you, and
to those whom God in his wisdom has not
removed thus, let me beg OF you to learn
to make the most of life" Don't bury
yourselves in your own pleasure and en-
ioyment alone, life has a deeper meaning,
but in your f~ul.ness of life remember those
less fortunate than yourselves and do what
you can for the elevation OF woman and so
elevate yourselves. To make the most OF
life We must study to please Others as well
as ourselves. Selfishness builds bare,
stony walls against the ebb and flow of
loving kindness from friend to friend it
quenches the growth of fragrant flowers
with which our LIES path would be dotted

AT SEA, April %, 'G4

We have Just passed Cape Hatteras, bound
North. We suppose Virginia will be our des-
tination. The Florida expedition has resulted
in very poor returns for US. Several hundred
men killed, wounded ana missing; three or
four steamers wrecked and blown up; the men
worn out with marching and fatigue, and
nothing to show in return. Some one should
be held responsible for such plumbers.
