HABITS OF THE oYsTER.-Only ten
or twelve out Of every million of eggs
spawned are preserved, the rest being
dispersed by waves or devoured by
fish. The minute oyster produces a
shell within twenty-four hours of its
incubation, and to preserve its exist
ence must attach itself to the parent
shell or some stable object. The mus
sci secretes long silky threads whereby
it attaches itself to rocks. The lower
haif OF the oyster she'll is concave, and
thus it is enabled to adhere to objects
under water. When rocks are not

As swift as thought
Across the land,
The train
The song it sings
Has an iron sound.
Its iron wings
Like wheels 90 round.
Crash under b.idges,
Flash over ridges,
And vault the downs:
The road is straight
Nor stile, nor gate;
For milestoues-town
Noluminous, vanishing. white,
The stream plume trails;
Parallel streaks of light,
The polished rails
Oh, who can follow?
The little swallow,
The trout of the sky.
But the sun
Is Outruu,
And time passed By.

BY marsh and mead

Embodied speed
Is claukcd and hurried:
Ger rivers and Iunuels:
And into The carth
And ont again
In death haud birth
That know no pain
Fol the whole round world
Is "a warren Of railway tunnels.
Hark Hars Hark,
1t screams and cieayes the dark
And the >ubterranean night
Is gilt with smoky light.
Then on again apace
1t runs its Numbering race

To come to hand

That swift as thought
Speeds through the land.
