The manliest man of all the race, Whose heart is open as his taco, Puts forth his hand to help another, 'Tis not the blood of kith and kin, 'Tis not the color of the skin ; 'Tis the heart that beats within, Which makes the man a man and broth His words are warm upon his lips, His heart beats to his finger tips, He is a Mend and loyal neighbor ; Sweet children kiss him on the way, And the women trust him for they may, He owes no debts ho cannot pay ; He earns his bread with honest labor. He lifts the fallen from the ground, And puts his feet upon the round Of dreaming Jacob's starry ladder, Which lifts him higher, day by day, Toward the bright and heavenly way, And farther from the tempter's sway, Which singeth like the angry adder. He strikes oppression to the dust, He shares the blows aimed at the just, He shrinks not from the post of danger, And, in the thickest of the fight, He battles bravely for the right, For that is mightier than might,. Though cradled in an humble manger, Hail to the mintiest man 1 he comes Not with the sound of horns and drums. Though grand as any duke, and grander ; He dawns upon the world and light' Dispels the weary gloom of night And ills, like bats and owls take flight ; He's greater than great Alexander.

Let us try to be happy I Some shades of re gret Are sure to bang around, which we cannot forget ; There are times when the lightest of spirits emust bow, And the sunniest face wear a cloud on its brow ; We must never bid feelings, the purest and best, Lie blunted and cold in our bosom at rest ; But the deeper our own griefs, the greater our need To try to be happy, lest other hearts bleed. Let us try and he happy ! It is not for long We shall cheer on each other with counsel or song ; If we make, the best of our time that we may, There is much we can do to enliven the way; Let us only in earnestness each detour best, Before God and our conscience, and trust for the rest Still taking this truth, both in word and in deed, That who tries to be happy is sure to suc , octal. Oetecte4 Rory. ' MY SOLEMN VOW. BY BARBARA BACON Charles Lamb has said that "the chil dren of the very poor have no .vonng times." Then we were not very poor,in thr old,grim,crazy looking house where I pass. ed my ebildhood,for we had young times ; and I knew nothing of poverty until I was forced to leave it. I knew that our landlord lived In a new house, and that his daughter wore line dresses, but I Cot no regret in the comparison ; for the squire and his daughter lived alone, while our house was alive with children ; and I would not exchange the music of their laughter, nor the patter of their darling little feekfor the wealth of Creosote. How 14.11 I remember the time that Stephen DeGrey drove up to the door foe the second time with his prancing horse& He did not alight, but seeing my father at the window, beckened him out. "Where is the little black-eyed spirit I saw here last week ?" he queried "My Mary ?" returned my father. "Yes, your Mary" Then he threw the reins over the dash er of his phaeton, and in his practical way made my father what he termed a great offer. "No doubt the child is comfortable and happy here, but wouldn't it be wick ed to let such an uncommon _chance go by ?" I heard him say. 'Mary 1" called my father, and I went out. "Would you like to go to Tangle• Brier to live ?" be said, patting me lovingly on the head. "Andyou, and mother and the chil dren ?" Tasked. "No ; you alone." "No, indeed, air." "What, not ride away in this handsome carriage, and dress like your beautiful cousin Amy ?" said lir. DeGray. "Beau tiful as the day, and, wi dull as thunder," be added, in a lower tone. "Ob, no,' sir." And then' feeling a great stirring be hind my eyes, and disliking to show my tears,' tall in. Soon after I heard Mr. DeGrey drive, away. tcrept out of my bidiug-place only to find a group of sad faces. There I read my verdict. I was going to leave everything I Rived. Ste phen DeGrey had discovered in a previ ous visit that I could learn (as he expres sed it) "with My eyes slint,"and pc.:11;7...14 the idea ilia I t„igist -be of use to his only (laughter, whose lack of brilliancy was a mirk:- of constant worriment to her indulgent. father. . Shall I ever ferget the lit time that we gathered about the tea-table in that homely old kitchen. or the dainties that sunlebow'my "mother managed to provide becanse it was the last meal. • A.b, me, how hard I tried to hide my„ tears because so many eyes • were full. How, in spite of every effort'dnmy 'Part, my ood seem- i" "Stand by the Hight though the Heavens SIM" choking me to death. I remember that I left the table, and knelt beside the dy ing embers on the hearth. I can feel the tender touch of my father as he lifted nap upon hia knee. I glanced for an instalit, into hie eyes; tears fell upon my upturn ed face ; the sight was more than my heart, already full, could hear ; a sob, sad and full, sounded in every part of that dismal old kitchen. I laid my head upon his breast and cried all the bitterness out of my heart. Just as the short winter afternoon closed in Mr. DeGrb.y returned ; a hat (reader, it was by no means lovely) was tied with trembling fingers under my quivering chin, and amidst tears, bless— ings, and farewells, I rode away. When we had reached the bend in the road I looked back • my mother was still watching at the wicket. Full of trouble and so excited,' scarce• ly knew what I did. I laid my hand on Mr. DeGrey's shoulder and wade a vow. "God sparing my life until my head is growm in wisdom, my heart in firmness, and my shoulders shaped for the burden, I will shrink from no sacrifice, be a cow. and in no battle that will win comfort and joy for those left behind l" "How old are you?" asked Mr. DeGrey abruptly. "Twelve, sir." HP gave a long wnistle. We rode in . - silence for many hours, it seemed to me. In fact, the night was far advanced when we reached Tangle-Brier. The house was the best, its furnishings the finest I had ever seen, and In the midst of all this splendor Mrs.DeGrey and her daugh ter awaited our coming. I looked upon Amy DeGrey's face of marvelous beauty, and thought it the finest one in the world but for a certain lack of expression I should think so still, for never in nature or urt have I seen anything Bo beautiful. I was her companion for five years, shar— ing with her every advantage. Adjoining Tangle Brier was au old di— lapidated, uninhabited mansion. Signs of former granduer were still vieable.— We used often to wander over its deserted grounds, and imagine histories of its predecessors. The former owner had died abroad, and the heir of the estate had never taken possession. So I had lived at Tangle Brier three years, and then Amy and I were sent to a neighboring academy. Here, night after nigh t,I studied with her the same lessons, @be having, apparently, learned as per— fectly as myself, but in chokes she was never able db give a correct answer, She could not retain. When we had been at school nearly three years Mrs. DeGrey wrote that the present quarter would be our last. Mr. DeGrey's business called him abroad, and we were to finish our studies at home un• der a private tuitor, she had already ad vertised. In the same letter she told ns that Maple Hill was to be brought to life again ; repairs were going on, and its owner was to take immediate possession. Mrs. DeGrey had not seen Mr. Rivers,but had been told that his wealth was great and his state a bachelor. "Do you know," said Amy, as she un wound her beautiful hair, "that I'v al ways imagined myself mistress of Maple ?" "Its owner may be an idiot," I answer ed. "What matters ? His wealth is fabu lous ; you know papa has been unfortu— nate of late, and it would be terrible to be poor !" I had been castle-building for years, and reader, pardon me, the foundation of my castles had been wealth. My thoughts constantly reverting to my kin dred, could,conceivp of no other plan. I had lived at Tangle Brier long enough to know that money was the corner stone of that establishment, where everything run smoothely, and all was peace. t the close of the quarter we returned home, Maple Hill was inhabited, and Mrs. DeGrey's advertisement had been answered. ••Strangest of all things!' said Mrs. DeGrey, "the applicant is Mr. River' agent; he having no present need of his service, will treat with me for a tutor ship." "Engage him, mamma !" cried Amy.— "In that way we shall see a great deal of his lordship," meaning Mr. Rivera. "Let us go over at once." Mrs. DeGray readily assented, and we started on foot for Maple Hill. In the handsomest furnished parlor we awaited Sir John, for Mrs. DeGrey was making this a call of ceremony as well as business Directly I heard the shuffling of half paralyzed feet ; as the sound grew near a half grunt, half groan was audible ; a servant opened the door, and there enter ed the mos:, perfect specimen of old age it had ever been my lot to meet. I looked instinctively at Amy, but law no sign of disappointment. We arose ; introductions took place ; and he greet ed us cordially. During the next twenty minutes he entertained ns with an ac count of his diseases--five of which were incurable—and having told us that he was world worn and exhausted, conclud ed by saying that he intended to marry and settle down at Maple Hill. The conversation turned, Mr. Rivers' agent was mentioned. He spoke of him in the highest praise as a gentleman and scholar. He said, Mr. Gordon was about to leave his service for no fault of his own, hat for reasons which he could not now explain. He pulled the bell cord as he spoke, and the servant again appeared. "Tell Mr. Gordon I wish to see him," he said; When Rapheal Gordon entered the room, Amy and her mother were so much engaged with Mr. Rivers, - that I do not think they heard the door open or close. You would scarcely believe, to watch this beauty, that she bad ever epoken to hall a dozen gentlemen in her life. In fact she displayed all the art of a woman of the world in her mauceavers to make a lasting imnren!=. ITer efforts were not without eff'ct ; for when he arose 'to introduce his agent and make his adieus, he bent his trem— bling head, and kissed Amy's band. A thousand little shivers crept np my spine. Amy smiled as though well satis fied ; and having assured Mrs. DeGrey that her call would be returned at the earliest possible moment, Mr. Rivers hob bled out. I can scarcely describe the' character of Rapheal Go - rdon's looks, his supple symmetry, his frequent smile: hie glen. ous eyes, owe seen, could never be for gotten. Amy tailed a great deal about Mr. Rivers a pat deal in the days that fol— lowed. "Ikbt so very young to be sure, but such a; 72 iCE ola gentleman, Amy of ten said. I rentuid to ask "what there was nice about him" She pouted but would not answer. While we were chatting, an elegeht carriage, drawn by a pair of spirited horses, hilted betore the gate. I waited until the driver opened the door ; the identical "nice old gentleman" crept out—then I went to my room. Amy came to my room shortly. Mr. Rivers had come to take the ladies out would Igo ? "No." "Not to please me !" she presisted. "Not to please the whole world. In perhaps ten minutes, I heard the hall door close, and looking out of my window, I saw /lony enter the carriage, followed by Mr. Ilivers. I was more than surprised ; I was thoroughly disgusted. She Caine into my room two hours after, as talkative as a magpie. "She had had such a delight • ful ride, and Mr. Rivers said—" I cut her short. "Don't, Amy, the bare idea makes me sick !" She went out muttering something, of which I caught the word "envious" and slammed the door. The next week we commenced our studdies. Who could not advance under a tutor like Raphael Gordon ? Surely one smile would repay hours of study. We studied school•fashion. Regular terms and regular sessions. As the first (loader neared its close, Mrs. DeGrev proposed an examination. All the young people in the neighborhood were invited to join us. For the heat composition, Mrs. DeGrey offered a prize—a pair of gold bracelets— valued at ten pounds. Then, with her whole might, she set to work for Amy. Night' after night she puz zled her brain over the paper that was to pass as Amy's composition. It was the night before examination. I had read over he composition for the last time, when Mrs. DeGrey tapped at m y door. "I've brought in Amy's composition," she cried, "I should like to compare it with yours." I put my paper in her outstretched hand, she read and returned it. "Mary, has Mr, Gordon seen this ?" she whispered. I replied in the negative. "Did any one know upon what subject lon intended to write ?" "No one in the world," I answered. She drew hor chair closer. "Mary, if you surrender all claims to this, I will buy you a pair of bracelets that will match the prize in beauty and value. "They would not compare with my dress nor station, and I do not want o:ern." I said. As I uttered these words a gro4n as if from some one in pain, reached tny ear. I listened. the sound was not r•peated.— Mrs. DeGrey put into my hand . five crisp ten dollar notes, and left the room. The door closed, I took from my desk as unsealed letter, it bore this inscrip— tion : Mr. Edward Deane, Westonville, (State.) Into this I tucked the ten pounds and rotired. And next day Amy read my composition as a production of her own. She was welcome to the letter, and the congratulations that followed, so far as I vas concerned. The letter in my pocket and the treat things I believed it would do for the living inmates of a humble dwelling far away, recompensed me more than fame can ever. There was one cloud in my sky, how— ever. During my recitations I failed to receive my usual reward ; my master's smile and kindling eye. Anything but to sse the face averted that had always looked on me with more than kindness. I hastened away after the exercises were over, anxious to deposit my letter before sight came on. When I retraced my step twilight began to fall. I was thinking over the events of the day, and above all arose the fact of my teacher's displeasure. "When I get back he will be gone," I said "without one look or word. Was it not enough that I should b,. d prived of the daily presence and site counsel of him I had learned to love so well ?" • Thus I mused ; and there just in the bend I saw him coming. I scarcely re— m, tuber whist I said as we met. I raised a troubled eye to his face, hoping to see the old look again ; but no, he was still mid and unnatural. •'Jliss Deaue, what evil spirit possessed Son that you Should go on for months with the appearance of the best principles and goad sense, and in the eleventh hour move you were devoid of either ?" "I never boasted of my principles or good sense," I replied angrily. Neither am I to blame for other pepple's blun— ders !" . "But you have abtldderea at the idea of Amy being wedded to Mr. Rivers for his wealth; and ;est night you were guil ty of an act, which, if less frightful in its consequences, is nt, more to be expect ed of s true woman. You gave counte nance to a lie. You helped to impose on your neighbors, your teacher and friends, and this for the paultry sum of ten pounds Mary Deane, for months I've watched you jealously, fearfully, and loved you with my whole heart Day by day I've searched' your heart, your eye, your sayings for some signs of this love of gold ? With what art you bid it, and how by a Might accident I found it out.— Dropping my watch key from my breast pocket, as I reached out to close my shut ter, I hurried down to search for it ; and there beneath your window I heard the words that sent the blood to my heart with a pain that blinded me Oh I Mary, how could you ?" In spite of his cutting wopds, I loved him never so well. I took both his hands in my own. "You are mistaken, my dear sir, indeed you are 1 I never possessed a pound be- fore in my life, and for myself never de sire to ; but over the hills there, strug— gling with poverty and sickness; five those who haunt me waking and visit all my dreams.

"God bless you, Mary, love them all well ; only tell me that I may come in for a share.— Can you love me after such cruel words ?" So it was settled then in the gleaming. When I re-entered the souse out of which I had gone with so little gladness, I was Mr. Gordon's promised wife. Three months later we were quietly married ; and having decided that our tour should take us among my kindred 1 thought my happiness complete. The carria g e stood ready at the door:— "We have an houryet, let us go over and bid Mr. Rivers good bye." As we approached the house Mr. Riv ers and several of the servants came out and waited upon the piazza to receive us. Mr. Rivers led us into the house. Re appeared very strange, and I thought he had been taking too much champagne.— He closed the door, and with a step as youthful as my own, he came to me. "Mrs. Gordon, the play Is played out," he said. "Raphael Gordon is the real owner of Maple Hill, and I, plain John Rivers, am his confidential agent and firiend." lie handed me a package. "Mr. Gordon has made over a part of his for— tune to you, to use as you see fit. May you experience nothing but happiness as mistress of Maple Hill, and consider me at all times your devoted servant, John Rivers." My first thoughts were of Amy. "How will Amy bear this disappointment ?" I said. "Why, I was trying to invent some plan of escwe when fortune aided me.— Your cousin got news from abroad that her father had made a happy hit in spec— ulation, doubling his fortune. The owner of Maple Hill !ost attraction at once, and in lees than twenty four hours I received a note of dismissal. So you see all is fair in love; and your humble servant is as heart whole as though Amy DeGrey had never lived ' • and Mr. Gorden has not been married for his wealth, the fear of which how been the terror of his life." • . Woman like I twitted my husband of giving countenance to a he, and impos— ing on his bw•at fnends, etc. And oh ! the happy days that followed in the old house at home. And no peace can exceed that which possessed me, as I lifted the curse of poverty, and raised the. droopping heads that bad been so long beneath its power. am happy at Maple Hill. Amy no longer flirts with our "nice old gentle man," and Rwhael Gordon, the prince of good husbands, blesses the day that he turned tutor and escaped being married for his wealth. How Mr. Wilkins got a Subscribes , for Ilia Newspaper, One night last week a Whitehall gen tleman was on the Troy train returning home. At Sarato g a a• gentleman from Rutland took a seat behind the White hailer. In a few mt,ments a conversation was opened bmween the two. Ascertain— ing that onr friend was from Whitehall the Rutland gentleman asked him if he knew Wilkins, the editor of the Times; "Know him ! I ought to know him, for he is very intimate with my wife." "Yon don't say ?" replied the Rutland man, in astonishment. "Yes, sir. I don't went it repeated; but, I have indisputable evidence that he has been on terms of the closest intimacy with her." "But my friend, you don't live with the woman ?" "Yes, sir, strange as it may seem, I do. Oh, sir, you little know what a man will put up with from a woman he loves.— This intimacy has been carried on tor years right under my very nose, and yet, by the love I bear the woman, I have never yet broken with my wife." "But you cannot possibly put up with such conduct on the part of your wife ? If she is intimate with Wi:kins, I should think you world brand the villain before the world. I would not submit. No, sir'. I would not, never I" • The Rutland man had worked himself up to a pitch of excitement, when the. train stopped at Whitehall. "Good night, sir!" said the Whitehall gentleman. "1 thank you for the inter. est you have taken in my affairs," and the :Two g: ntleman shook hands and parted. Just then the conductor entered the car, when the Ruthland man stepped up and asked him who the gentleman was he was conversing with. "That man," said conductor Holcomb, "don't you know him ? That is Wilkins editor of the Whitehall Pmes." "Sold, by gracious," said the Rutland man, putting his finger into his pocket and taking out something. "Mr. Con— ductor, will you please give him this card and accompanying $5, and tell him to send me his paper so lung as the money lasts ?" A Boston gentlemen who has been at great expense to -adorn his door-yard with statuary, was much chagrined re— cently to hear an old man from the country say to his wife, as they gazed•ori or the statues : Nes' see what a waste, Belinda!

PERTICE„ The trembling near-drop fall Upon the shutting flowers—like soul's at rest ; The stars shine gloriously—and all Save me, k blest. Mother l—l love thy grave I The violet, with the blossom blue and mild Waves o'er thy head—when shall It wave Above thy child f 'Tie a sweet flower—Tet must Its bright leaves to the coming tempest . ' bow, Dear mother—'tis thine emblem—dust Is on thy brow And 1 could love to die— To leave untested life's dark bitter streams; By thee, as erst In childhood, lie, And share thy dreams. And must I linger here, To stain the plumage of my sinless years, And mourn the hopes hi childhood dear With bitter tears ? Aye—mtNt I linger here, A lonely branch ution a blasted tree, Whose last trail leaf, untimely sere, Went down with thee I Oft from life's withered bower, In still communion with the past I turn, And muse OB thee, the only flower In memory's urn. And, when the evening pale Bows like a murmur on the dim, blue wave, I stray to hear the night winds wail Around thy grave. Where is thy spirit down ? I gaze above—thy look is imaged there— I listen, and thy gentle tone Is on the air. Oh, come—while here I press My brow upon thF grave--end, In those mild And thrilling tones of tenderness, Bless, bless thy child ! Yes, bless thy weeping child And o'er thy urn—religion holiest shrine— Oh, give his spirit undefiled To blend with thine, PARENTAL DUTY Parents often unconsciously injute their chil dren by assuming that they arc actuated by wrong motives. In very early life we learn that others can know 'hut little about/our thoughts and feelings. Therefore, it is not their preroga tive to judge of our motives Every one naturally wishes to be presumed honest ; and if we know that such is the pre sumption respecting us, it is comparatiiely dif ficult for us to indulge or act out our depravity. But if We find that we are presumed to be dis honest—if it is to be taken for granted that we intend wrong•-the first impulse of a depraved heart is pretty sure to be wrung. And a child is as sensitive to such injury as any one. Let him imbibe the notion that his parents habitu ally suspect him of mischief, and they are cer tain to provoke him to wrath, and actually in duce him to eommit mischief. of which he had never before conceived. The teeling of his young and wicked heart is very likely to be "Well, since I am thought no better of, I have no inducement to be any better, and, therefore, will be no better. I might as well find some enjoyment, and if I cannot have any credit where I do try to do right, I will just abandon such effort, and give loose reins to my passions and secure encl.' pleasure as I can." Many a child, it is feared, has thus become wayward, and undesignedly turned aside from the path of virtue by his dearest earthly guardians and friends. A. betrayal of more self interest . than parent al affection is sure to work mischief in the heart of a child. It is love which moves the heart more than a sense of duty. We discharge our duty to our friends, not so much because It Is a duty as a pleasure. It is love, not duty, which causes a fond mother to watch with un remitting anxiety over the couch of her sick child. Love to God and love to man com mends itself to the Inman mind• as the correct fundamental principle of action ; and the very little child soon instinctively knows and feels Its force long before he can define and analyze it. He knows and feels that it Is what a par ent owes to him. At any rate, no one can ap preciate it better where it is exercised towards him. Well now,let the child obtain the notion that such a feeling for him in a parent's heart has been displaced by a predominating selfish ness—let the child imbibe the idea that the pa_ eat, in all his requirements, is actuated by his own self gratification, rather than by any pe• culler. and fond affection—and he feels that the parent, as such, is worthy of no special recipro city of regent. Ranee. his commands, us -pa rental, are , spurned, and the child is provoked to wrath. to think that one absulci thus presume to 'act a parent's part. Every child's heart yearns for a parent's affection to meet his wants; and If it is met with nothing hut the cold demands of' a Sordid self interest, it must suffer a sad repulse. Under such circumstances a Child may be induced to obey from fear, while he cannot do Otherwise ;..but• lid can never love to obey with the proper .11391111k9 of. ashild. It can neier , be his pleasure , to do a parent's will.. He may obey ono because he is his toaster; but he can never obey biro becaaie he is his parent. Fe there is no ground for the'reciprocity of 'fond, parental, and filialnifeetion. It is worthy of remark that the, obligations of percale and children are mutual. The obli gation is not all OD ono side. , it Is not .simply ' the duty of the child to., obey. ; neither is it the "sole diets of, the parent to' exact obeditmee,,aud, at the same.time, of the child to obey, the pa-- rent owes it to his child to : secure his obedience in a manner not needlessly to provoke. hi wrath. And, to this end it 15;01 important that both parent and child abouittcbmpreheed that their mutual ,obligation rests .upon the oblige: tion:vvhich they ,owe in common to their Mak er. parer) f must reflect as seriously upon. his position towards his child, as Waver does on the positiett of that child towards himselt. Elo has netrolro right to meke inmself a despot to wards the child; than , he, has to try and make the child his grovelling slave.' No parent is either omnlpetent , or irresponsible towards Ida It is well; also, for ; parents , to consider how Much of their children's disobedience an : d 'way wardness is justly chargeable upon , themselVm. It's true the child, as Well is the parent, must be hold accountable for Ms OWIL sin yet We 2211=111 must remember that we are so constituted as easily to Involve one another In sin.; and the nearer the relations which we sustain In life, the greater the danger of involving one another In transgression. In case of the little child,who o it may be, willingly goes to the public house to get his father's bottle filled witti intoxicating drink, who is most to blatie, the chid or the intemperate father who sembi bunt Itistinct or intuition answers. In case of the ilia who is thrown Into a pet by the angry look, tone, or manner of the patent, who is most to blame ? Ought not such , questions to modify the peat stone, to secure more patience, consistency, and love, from parents, in all their dealings with their children ? • Finally, let parents reflect upon the criminal ity and cruelty of provoking their own child ren to wrath. It is melancholy enough to think of exciting such a hateful passion in any one** breast, but much more so in the breast of be loved child. Let every parent shudder at the thought. Wrath—angef—wtuit is if? Ain es sential element of a demon ! What should we think of a man who would carelessly eiposo his children to vipers, reptiles, savage beasts of prey ? And yet how often do parents eves* their children to the influence of their own un godly passions, which, without some powerfhl antidote, will infect, poison, and destroy their immortal souls forever Oh. what a relight responsibility rests upon parents, in vier? of their capability, and the danger of their excite , log that capability, train up theirchildren to be the companions of fiends, who mlghtlxiau-' gels of light ! And, ob, the unnatural cruelty invovied in being unmindful of such a respon sibility ! Bo vast is the consumption of pearl oysters ' to supply the demand of the mannfaCtories for mother-of-pearl, and of the ladies for then:that delicate of jewels, that the cultivation' of the mollusc is extensively under way -in the Bomb- era Seas. The Message!' -de Talti,'s published by the authorities of the Munch oce anic settlements. contains an account of the method by which the oysters, are multiplied in the waters of the Teamster Island:.

This done the space hi walled in and divided into compartments for the convenience of separating the opium ac cording to their ages, and also that they may be easily examined by persons walking along on the partitions. Oysters not law than e, saucer are selected for the beds, and these ere found in shallow places along the wait: They must not be pulled from the stone or other ma terial to which they are attached by a Menke of filaments or hair, called a hisses. Brought to the bed, they. are loosely arranged in rows, with the byssus turned toward the current.— After a twelvemonth the oyster will have grown from the size of a saucer to, that of a plate. Beyond this it • does not ordinarily im pend, hut continues to thicken, until, at the end of three years, its lining of mottier-of-peatl is fit fur the market. When the oyster excludes_ Its spawn, the walls of the inciosure prevent the young from being carried out to thei see.— The coral branches, which are ao faicirable to the growth of the oyster, do not offer 'any ob stacle to the dispersion of the spurn.
