What Does the Move Mean.

We referred in our issue of week ago to
the removal northward of the immense
stock OF railway construction material now
at Milford, the gang Of twenty laborers
sent down to make the reshipment, being
told that the work of removal would occupy
them the best part of two months. Now,
how ever, there comes another order, re-
voking the first instructions and request
ing that all further transshipments of ma
terial be stopped. OF course no explana-
ton Is given, and the query now arises !;
has the company reconsidered the idea OF
an abandonment Of the extension and come
to the sensible conclusion to complete the
line! 1t is to be hoped that such is the de-
cision.-BedUer Utonidn.

ion of Mount Zion, a low hill about four acres

A fruitful acre Of earth will support one
young bullock, increasing the weight of
the beast 500 pounds in a twelvemonth.
One acre of water, properly located, will
produce 10, 900 pounds of oyster meat, shells
and juice not included, in the same length
of time. Oysters are, weight for weight,
nearly equal to beef for making flesh and
blood. By artificial propagation, as it is
now beginning to be carried on, the entire
bottom surface of all streams near the sea,
and estuaries also, can be made to yield
crops in this proportion.-W Washington

THE. NORTH STAR.

When twilight's purple veil is furled
Beyond the western verge OF day,
And slowly DER the darkened world
The stars come forth in bright array,
When Venus hides her burning face
Upon old Oceans troubled breast,
Or, weary of his march through space,
Mars camps behind the mountain crest;
The sailor on the moonless sea,
The pilgrim on the trackless plain,
The bondman, painting to be free,
Turn northward and take heart again;
For there, above unmeasured heights,
An emblem Of eternal truth,
Unchanged amidst the changing lights,
The North Star lifts her crown of youth.
Self conferred in the boundless blue,
Calm dweller of the vast unknown,
Forever tender, strong and true,
Serenely from her distant throne
She gazes down the yoiceless deep,
While worlds are drifting at her feet
And mighty consultations sweep
Around her like an endless fleet;
The Northern Lights across her fling
The glory Of their dancing spears,
The Morning Stars beneath her sing
The chorus of Creations years;
And while the systems sink and rise,
And planets to each other nod,
The light streams from her tranquil eyes
AS steadfast as the love of God,
