How Oysters are Born.
The following extract from a
paper on the subject i:i the Popular
SCUIIIT Monthly, from the pen ol
Prof. Lockwood, may be found of
interest :
Our bivalver, however, does not
spawn after Ihe manner ot niollusks
generally. It is in its own way vi-vaparous.
It does tiot emit eggs,
but at the proper timesends forth its
young alive. The eggs are dis-lodged
from the ovaries aud com
mined to tho nursing care of the
gill and manlel. At lirst each egg
seems to lie enclosed in capsule. 11
is ot a yellowish color, but, as incu-bation
or development progresses,
the color changes, first to a grey,
then to a brown, afterward to a
violet. This is a sign that the time
ot eviction is at hand, for nature
now issues her writ to that effect,
and wonderful little beings they
are when the writ arrives to vacate
the homestead : for whole troops ot
public. He will find bis reward
All his sins will be forgiven him,
and never will any fear come over
him aud dishonor his heart.
Let your colt be domesticated and
live with you from his tenderest
age, and when a horse he will be
simple, docile, faithful and inured
to hardship aud fatigue.
If you would have yonr horse to
serve you in the day of trial, if you
desire him then to he a horse of
truth, make him sober, accustomed
to hard work, and inaccessible to
fear.
Do not beat your horse, nor apeak
to him iu a loud tone of voice, do
not be angry with him, but kindly
reprove his faults ; he will do bet-ter
thereafter, for he understands
the language ot man and its mean
ing.

'•Approved Feb. 18, 1870."
Tbe above resolution docs not ex-empt
tho present from duty, but
merely authorizes ber husband,
who is an officer in tbe United
States service, to accept it. Alter
this became law, it was found that
the Government was still entitled
to the duty, and that was exactly
what foe resolutiou was iuteuded
to avoid, but the terms were insuf-ficient.
The words "free of duty"
were sugg' sted after the word -'ac-cept,"
but several Seuators said it
was unnecessary.

Though a little of the milky Hind

We have been married twenty-two
years. The first four years
before I was married, I began farm-ing
with two hundred and fifty
acres, iu Bine Grass region, Ken-tucky.
I handled cattle, hogs,
sheep and horses—principally the
first two named—and lived, I
thought, tolerably economically :
spent none of my money for tobacco
in any way ; neither betting a cent
or dissipating in any way, and yet
at the end of four years I had little
or no money. I then married a
young lady of eighteen years of age
—who had never done any house-work
or work ot any kind except
to make a portion of her clothes.
She had never made * shirt, draw-ers,
pauts or waistcoat, or even
sewed a stitch ou a coat, and yet
before we bad been married a year
she. had made for me every one of
the articles of clothing named, aud
knit numbers of pairs of socks for
me—yes, and mended divers ar-ticles
for me, not excepting an old
hat or two. She bad also made
butler, sold eggs, chickens, and
other fowls, and vegetables to the
amount of near six huudred dollars
ill cash at the eud of the year,
whereas, during the four years that
I was single I had never sold five
cents worth—besides making me
purely happy aud contented with
my home. Aud so far as to mak-ing
oi money, we have made money
clear ol sxpeuaes ever since we have
undertaken the farm, and she has
made three hundred and fifty to
live hundred dollars every year ex-cept
one, during the time, selling
butler, eggs, and marketing of dif-ferent
kinds. My yearly expenses
of fine clothing, etc., before I was
married were more than my yearly
expenses were after 1 was married
combined with the expense of my
wife aud children : and our farm
has increased some two handled
acres: and I believe that if I had
not married it never would have
increased but little if any; and I
have never lieeu absent from home
six nights, when my wife was at
hiiine.since we were married.and her
cheeks kiss as sweetly to me as they
did the morning after I was married.

Cure for Drunkenness-
There is a curious prescription iu
Kngland for tho cure of drunken-ness,
by which thousands arc said
to have been assisted in recovering
themselves. The recipe came into
notoriety through the efforts of
Jobu vine Hall, father ot Rev.
Newman Hall, aud Captain Vine
Hall, commander of the Great Eas-tern
steamship. He had fallen into
such habitual drunkenness thai his
utmost efforts to regain himself
proved unavailing. Al length he
sought the advice of an eminent
physican, who gave him a prescrip-tion
which he followed faithfully
for several months, and at the end
of that time he lost all desire for
liquors although he had for many
years been led captive by a most de-basing
habit. The recipe, which
he afterwards published, and by
which so many have been assisted
to reform, is as follows : "Sulphate
of iron, 5 grains; magnesia, lo
grains: spirit ol nutmeg, one
drachm—to be taken twice a day."
This preparation acis as a tonic and
stiinulent, and so partly supplies!
the place of the accustomed liquor, |
and prevents that absolute physical
aud moral prostration that follows
a sudden breaking off from the use
of stimulating drinks.
