HUSBANDS.
BY MAMIE JUAN.
What they ever were made for but to find
fault islfar beyond my comprehension.
There’s Daniel, Who, only this morning,
before I was out of bed, commenced the
morning's exercises with an analogy of his
shirt, requesting me to tell him the resting
~~pisce of, theneedies, and he would see if he
could not be aj‘heatben and have asbirt that -
who not holey, as be had mentioned the, fact,
I not less than a century of times, to close up
the unnecessary opening “until further no.
ties,” but to which—as the shirt bore unmis-
takable witness—I had cruelly disregarded. '
There he stood with his arm jam'med through
the above mentioned hole, that be had .made
more pretentious by having in his hand, at
the time, one of his boots. which he had for-
. got, in his excitement, to leave on the floor-—
, its proper place of rest. But what Wife—
providing she had been such long enough to
discover that her husband is not an angel in
disguise—ever expected. common sense to
I guide aman in such matters?
I was under the impression that whenDan-
, irl entered the toils of matrimony he would,
in time of course, under a wife’s devotion,
love and guidance, improve. but reform is as
far from him as he was from the ground, the
~ day we were riding through the country, and
he attempted to procure some beautiful red
apples that were hanging so temptingly over
the road, and his coming down depend.
ed entirely upon his coat tail, until the far-
mer, he wastsfking the apples from. came ‘
' along and released him from his hanging p0.
: Iftion.
But to the shirt.
I calmly remarked that as soon as he had
recovered from his fit, and had due control of
his reasoning faculties, I would proceed to
- enlighten him upon the subject, so apparent-
— ly, of my not attending to the article in ques.
tion—which was because he had worn the
a'fticle of'liminaculate whiteness during the
time of the natural existence of the rent,
thus giving me no chance to close its. gaping
mouth—but it was no avail. When Daniel
gets going once, one had just as well try and
stop a mad dog. Talk of woman having an
all-sufficient amount of “gab."
If you, kind reader, had seen the way he
went on‘, you would have decided that the
tower of Babel had arisen. But presumption
in man is great only to himself.
’ In fact, be was so disturbed in his peace of
mind, that he started for the door on his .way
I to the store, forgetting that he had nothing
“ on but his drawers and hat'and turned he not
back until I asked him if he was going down
to the store after his pants.

FIVE MILES OF OYSTERS.

"It is without exception the most valua»
ble bed of oysters that has been discovered
in this country, and the beauty of it is that
to paraphrase a new popular expression, it.
is simply ‘go as you please' to get them."
This was what was said to a Herald reporter
on Friday last by a gentleman whose business
occasionally takes him through Long Island
Sound. ' . ,
“I’ve been up and down on a tug several
‘ times during the last week, and I tell you
that between Sand's Point and Eaton’s Neck
the oystermen are just raking in tons of
wealth.” -
When the gentleman who imparted this
,information was reduced to coherency the
result was that the reporter learned tliata
new bed of oysters had been discovered on
Long Island Sound, at some point in the vi-
cinity of New Rochelle, which promised un—
told wealth to the men who dredge for bivalves
for a living. _
“It‘s six miles long and there's about a
million boats go away loaded every night,”
i said the reporter‘s enthusiastic informant.
The reporter made a tour of the markets
where the sale of oysters are a specialty, and
found that the oystermen were ignorant or
professed ignorance of any such discovery.
It will be remembered that about twenty
years ago an immense bed of oysters was
discovered between Norwalk and Stamford.
Conn. The wildest excitement prevailed
among the fishermen, and hundreds of boat
loads were taken away and there seemed to'
be no end. There were oysters, the like of
which had never been seen or heard of be-
fore—great, great. grandfathers, perfect mon—
ters in regard to size—and many of the
immense shells which adorn or advertise the
saloons and restaurants of this city to-day
are relics of that long ago discovery in Long
,Island Sound. Still later, in June, 187i,with
in two or-three miles of the recently discov-
ered bed,a tremendous furore was created by
what was considered the greatest “find” ever
known at Eaton’s Neck.
.As the Herald reporter yesterday morning
stood on the. porch of the Neptune House,
New Rochelle, in quest of information, the
proprietor said :—
“For several days we have noticed over
there a fleet' of small sailing vessels which
we. thought were becalmed. It was only
this morning that I heard that they were
dredging for' oysters and that a -new bed
had been discovered. ,Wby don't you go and
see Fowler?" Who was Fowler ? It seems
that not to know Fowler was not to know
anything about oysters or New Rochelle.
The reporter could not at that particular
moment find Fowler, and despite the drench-
ing rain determined on visiting the ground
Which was about four miles distant across
the watzr as the crow flies. After being
tossed about on the waves for about an
hiur in a cocklesbeli of a boat the fleet of
oyster dredgers was reached. The mist was
thick, but as farus the eye cbuld reach
white winged boats were crossing to and fro
over an imaginary line, and at intervals of
from twenty minutes to half an hours dredge
would be hauled up and then tossed ever--
heard again.
.“Sometimes they get a peck in ahaul, and
sometimes a bushel or a bushel and a half,”
said the oarsman; but as it was unpleasant
under the circumstances to be interviewed
a return to the Neptune House and a search
for Fowler was decided upon. Fowler after
a while was found. He is a brawny, tawny
fisherman, with a pronounced odor of tar,
andon being questioned as to what he knew
said :—
WHAT A vnrunax OYSTEBMAN SAYS.
“This is not exactly a discovery of a new
bed of oysters, yet two miles at the upper
end, out of the five or six miles which is
the extent of the entire bed, area new dis-
covery. There are oysters on it which are fit
to sell,but the principal part of them are only
good for seed.”
“Then they are not sent to market ?"
“Not at present, because the oyster season .
is nearly over. Half of them will be fit for
market next fall; and even if the men only
sell the seed they make big wages now at
that. They get about from sixty to. seventy
cents a bushel for seed. I'velknown one
best to make $20 a day selling the seed
not counting what they got for the big oys-
ters.” .
“Tell me all you know about this bed,”
suggested the reporter.
Fowler good naturally compiled and went
on :— .
“That old bed.” said he, “has been there
for ten or tWelve year; but it's now all of
two or three miles longer than it ever was,
and the seed is, if‘ anything, nicer seed. It
has been worked often, but not for three or
four years.
would try on the old bed, but didn’t seem to
catch anything of any account,but they didn’t
happen to strike on the upper end where the
new ones are. The upper end is quite won—
derful, and they are doing remarkably well
on it." _
“How many boats are there in this fleet do
you suppose ?” - ~
"There are all of 150, and then there are
about three men to a boat, on an average?”
“Have you heard anything about the
amount of oysters taken during the last two
weeks ?”
“‘Well, you can figure for yourself. There
are 150 beats, which have averaged forty
bushels a day for the last twenty-one days.”
“That makes the enormous total of 126,—
000 bushels! Now, how many bushels do
you suppose will be ”taken before the bed is
exbausted’?”
“Oh. I shouldn’t wonder if it would last
a month yet. They’re gettiu‘ out just as well
now as when they first started into it."

“Have you ever seen anything of the kind
before '1’"
“Never but once, and that was the Eaton’s
Neck bed just up above here a little way. I
wds on the sloop Pioneer, commanded by
James Stockings. A man whose name I've
forgotten found the bed and came to City
[sland and sold it for $500. Then the boat—
men put in and paid the money, and we
went on up and found it better than be
stated it was. We went to work. It was
in the night when we tried it and the next
morning the other boats came on. When
we first started in the bed you couldn't get
out a very few—they were so thick the
dredges couldn’t get ’em up, but in ashort
.time they got broke a little so we could
work. We used to load our boat once a
day and she’d hold 300 bushels.- That lasted
about three weeks. The bed extended about
two miles to 'two and a half. somewhere
along there, and there must have been at
least two hundred and fifty vessels on the
ground. There was steamboats, .scbooners,
.loops and boats of all sizes. You never
seed sich a sight in your life. This may
turn out full as good, but while that Eaton’s
Neck bed lasted it was awful. This is more
than an ordinary bed, for these big sioops
have so much help they could not afford to
work on it unless it was paying very good.
. You see there's boats here all the way from
rive tons up to seventy-five tons."

“It’s out to far. from the shore to be stak-

and another thing, where it can be proved
that there is any natural growth at all, you
got no right to stake it off or plant on it
either. It’s any man‘s property that gets
it first where it’s a natural growth. The
bed, as near as I can reckon, commences
just east of Execution Light and ends this
side of Eaton’s Neck. It's about a mile
wide, and thafs the reason why 'you saw

Speech ‘of'Senator Blaine.
WASHINGTON, May 19.
Ma. BLAINE said a question had been rais-
ed; as to what Webster has Mabout the
character of the bond existing between the
States. The Senator from Connecticut (Mr.
Eaton) has said that Webster had called it
a “confederacy," a “confederation,” and a
“compact.“ Mr. Eaton had quoted from an
alleged speech of Webster delivered at Capon
Springs,Va_. This speech he had foundin
a miscellaneous book,’which was full of mis—
representations froin preface to furnish, in-
cluding its very title. That book was the
history of the late civil war by Hon. Alex
E. Stephens. That speech was published
in Webster’s Life by James Ticknor Curtisv
and there. is in that life a denial of the in-
ference which Stephens deduces from it.
After tbezspeccb was made a,Soutb Carolinan
wrote to Webster asking what he meant by
the word “compact.” Webster replied that
he did not mean a limited confederation,
but a united government. Webster said
on another occasion, “The first step taken
in the direction of disunion will be promptly
met and I will not remain in the cabinet
when that step is taken.” Mr. Webster’s
works are extant, written and revised by
his own band, to which Mr. Eaton might
easily have had access if he really wanted to
make a historical statement. Mr. Blaine
then quoted from Webster’s speech in the
great Calhoun debate- to show his real sen~
timents to be for _Unionism. lIlr. Stephens
had also quoted froma .lettcr written by
Webster to Baring Bros, London, in regard
to a loan which was sought to be negotiated
in favor of some States. He spoke in that
litter of the responsibilities of ' the State,
which Mr. Stephens has seized upon as an
admission of the extreme dogma of State
rights.
Mr. Blaine next turned to the speech of
Mr. Hill and said he was surprised in view
of the grief tabt Mr. Hill felt on the passage
of Georgia's ordinance of secession. 0n ex-
amining the Record it turns out that Mr.
Hill was one of the 208 who voted for the
ordinance,and Messrs. Stephens and Herschel
V. Johnson voted against it. He referred
to Mr. Eaton’s statementthat it was the
Democratic party who had saved the Union.
He compared Buckingham and Hawley of
Connecticut with Eaton as patriots, Seward
of New York, with Seymour, Chase of Ohio
with Valiandingbam. , He read from a letter
of Lincoln, to a delegation of Ohio Demo-
crats who had asked for the re-cinding of
the order of imprisonment against Vailand-
ingham. in which the President promised
to grant all they wished if they would
admit there was a rebellion in progress and
agree to vote men and moneyto put it down.
But they would not do even that. He re-
ferred to the debate of Saturday in regard
to the Delaware election of 1862, and alluded
to-Senator Bayard, who had said he had been
marched to the polls between two files of sol-
diers. The elder Bayard, Senator Bayard’s
father, was then in the Sebate and resign-
ed bis seat because he couldn't take the test
oatb..
Mr. Baj’ard said the State of Delaware is
one of the original thirteen and her sons
gave their blood and their lives freely in
defense of their country. There never was
thought of action unfaithful to the Union in
which the people of that State had anything
to do. They were faithful from first to last.
I haveefelt the insult of the imputation that
there was due drop of my blood which was
disloyal to the Government. It is a foul
slander to suppose that Delewarc was un-
faithful. We denounced then as we do now
all outside power to change the powers of
that State. This allusion (Blaine's) is un-
worthy of this place.
Mr. Blaine then read a resolution ofiered
by the solder Bayard in the spring of 1801,
providing that the President, with theadvice
and consent of the Senate, might conclude a'
treaty with the Southern States guaranteeing
their independence. This was before Sumter
was fired on. He reiterated that the elder
Bayard had resigned because he could not
take the test oath.
Ms. Bayard said this was an unjust and
untrue accusation. His father had taken the
Every once in a whilea boat {pest oath before he had resigned. Afterwards
he was re‘elected. There are many Repub-
lican Senators of that time who said the test
oath was unconstitutional. As to the resolu-
tion offered by his father, itwas then a ques-
tion whether that mode of rescuing the eoun-
try from a frightful war would not have been
the least criminal.
Mr. Blaine said he had made these allu-
sions primarily to show that General Schenck
was justified in making his order. He then
returned to Mr. Eaton and a very animated
debate took place between them in' refer-
ence to Mr. Eaton’s treatment of the Presi—
dent’s veto message in his last speech. There
were allusions to the Hartford convention
and to the school book literature of the
South since the war, which which Mr: Blaine
said was calculated to breed furtherdisturb-
ance. ' - . .

An Exllc’s View.
One of the emigrating negroes from Hinds
county, Miss, was interviewed by an Inter-
Ocean reporter at .Wyandotte, Kan, the
other day. He said the trouble in Mississippi
was that the blacks couldn’t get far enough
ahead to buy their own land. They had to
pay to much for the use of the land. All of
them voted the Republican Ticket when they
dared to do so. But it was very awkward
for a black man to' vote that ticket when he
was “beboldin’ ” to a white Democrat; it‘
“made aheap o' trouble.” “Boss,” be con-
tinued, “did yo’ eber see a yel’ dog in de
street ? Well, yo’ jess raise yo' han’ at dog
’n’ he’ll run like he’s gwine mad; but ’s soon

body ever bear of a better comparison than
that? And. the old fellow went on to, show

“Now, tell the truth," said the reporter,

gas tar, stir thorou hiy until the corn is cov-
ered, then drain'o the water and mix wood

alone corn thus prepared.
Governor Roberts, of Texas, has been
making a display of zeal in the cause of pop-
ular instruction by vetoing the appropriation
which had been voted by the Legislature for
public schools in his State. This means the
destruction of the freescbool system estab-
lished by the Republicans while they. had
control of the government, and that, too, in
the face of reiterated declarations in demo—
cratic platforms that it was the “first duty of
the State to give to every child the benefits
of a common school education.”
Mr. Kernan, the gifted editor of The Okole-
no States, possesses a grandfather who is said
by a Mississippi paper to “have a poetic
genius of the highest order." Mr. Kean has
some of the same, as witness. the following
definition of the State rights which be
advocates: “This Union is a partnership of
free, sovereign, and independent nations, and
each nation has the reserved right of seced—
ing whenever a majorit of its citizens speak
the word. This is the emoeratic doctrine."
This shows that he must own a first-class
grandfather.
A Burrville widowar has been seeking a
wife in Burkhamsted, of late. A preposses .
sing widow pleased him and be agreed to
give her‘ $1,000 and the deed of a farm
which she accepted; but unfortunately her
daughter put in an appearance and was so
much more attractive that the ungallant
wife seeker, offered her $2,000 and the farm,
backing down from his offer to her mother.
Being repulsed be renewed his attention to
the mother, who indignantly spurned him.
Since then all the widows within the radius
of two miles have been approached with
offers from the deed of the farm and $000 up
to $2,000.
While Senator Eatou’s speech cannot truth-
fully be called a statesmanlike utterance, it
has at least one merit which has been lacking
in other democratic speeches. He brin a
into prominence the real issue between t e
two parties, the question whether the United
States is a nation or a confederaey of sover-
eign states. Mr. Eaton insists upon the latter
construction of the constitution as earnestly
as he did in 1861- The late war was in his
opinion a struggle between states instead of
a contest between the, nation and certain re.
This subject cannot be
brought to plainly before-the people, and in
stating his views so plainly Mr. Eaton has
cot desires better issue for the next national
nampaigne-ei-O'ouraat,
done good service. The republican party will.

DearSirs:—- 5 ' ’ p '
For more than twenty-five years I was a suf-
ferer from Dy epsia, accompanied with severe
attacks of sick eadacbe. I have also been troubo
led with Canker in my mouth and stomach. I
have tried a good many kinds of medicines with
little success. A short time since I was request-
ed to try your Sulphur Bitters for Canker. and
have found them all they have been recommend-
ed to been sure cure for that disease. 1 have no
doubt they are also what they are claimed to be
as a cure for Dyspepsia and sick Headache.

Simmons’ Liver Regulator or
Medicine,
In eminently a Family Medicine: and by being
kept ready for immediate resort will save many
an hour of angering and man adollar in time
and doctora’ bills. After over orty Years trial
it is still receiving the most unqualified testimo-
nials to its virtues from persons of the highest
character and responsibility. Eminent physicians
commend it for all diseases of the Liver.

OPINION OF THE CLERGY.
Simmons’leer Regulator is certainly a
sneclfic for that class of complaints which
it claims to cure. If any of our fellow be-
ings are sufl‘erln from hepatic disorders

What I say is that States are sovereign;
The ripest product of the Mid" will;
The only agent that can break a chain
Or bind a black man—I agree with Hill.
The “Nation’s” boasted power is Will i
Only a State can claim a rightful my
Or make a law that's good for anything—
Tbat’s what I say.
What I say is, the “Union” is a myth;
This is what Washington was often heard
To about with vigor; this is just the pith
Of what D. Webster frequently averred.
Or what they would have said, in strains sub-
lime, .
If they hadbeen as wise as we to day;
They were old fogies—clear behind the time
That’s what I say.
What I say is, the “Nation" has n?) power
To lay a burden on the people’s hacks,
To drill an army even for an hour,
Support a navy or collect a tax.

It has no rights excepting to obey
The States whose vassal it was made to be—
That’s what I
What I say is, the “Union” is a bond
Of free-love—a Confederated whim—
That is what Jefferson was doubtless fond
0f saying—ur—when it occurred to him.
You’ll 'never find a paradise begun
Till all the States are free to go or stay—
Wby. South America shows how ’tis done
That’s what I say!

The Clear Vision.
I did but dream. I never knew .
What charms our stcmeat season wore
Was never yet the sky so blue,
Was never earth so white before.
Till now I never saw the glow
Of sunset on you hills of snow,
And never learned the bough's designs
Of beauty in its leafless linea
Did ever such a morning break.
As that my eastern windows see ?
Did ever such a moonlight take
Weird photographs of shrub and tree I
Rang ever bells so wild and fleet,
The music of the winter street 1‘
Was ever yet a sound by half '
So merry as you school-boys laugh 2
0 Earth! with glsdness everfraught,
No added charm thy face hath found;
Within my heart the change is wrought,
My footsteps make enchanted ground.
From couch of pain and curtained room,
Forth to thy light and air I ccme, ’
To find in all that meets my eyes
The freshness of a glad surprise.
Fair seems these wintry days and soon
Shall blow the warm west winds of spring.
To set the unbound rills in tune,
And hither urge the bluebird's wing.
The vales shall laugh in flowers, the woods
Grow misty with the leafing buds,
And violets and wild flowers sway,
Against the throbbing heart of May.
Break forth, my lips. in praise, and own
The wiser love severely kind;
Since, richer for its christening, grown.
I see, whereas I once was blind.
The world, 0 Father! hatbnot wronged
With loss the life by thee prolonged;
But still, in every added year,
More beautiful thy works appear!
As thou hast made thy world without,
Make than more fair my world within;
Shine through its lingering clouds of doubt.
Rebuke its haunting shapes of sin;
Fill, brief or long, my granted span
Of life with love to thee and man ;
Strike when thou wilt the hour of rest,
But let my last days be my best ? -
—John G. Whittier.
WHAT TIN'I‘ED THE ARBUTUS. ~
Spring’l herald, bold March, came o'er the
' Hill,
Winding his bugle so loud and shrill
That every grim, old-forest tree,
Prepared to set its prisoners free,
He jingled the keys of crystal cells
Where rivalets' slept, in snowy dells,
And whistled above brown garden beds,
And tossed the curls on school-girla’ heads
Frolieked, scolded, ‘ and shouted to all-—
“Awake, awake I Obey my call I”
“That dreadful March! Heacom'es so'soonl
We’re sleepy; ’tis so early tov-bloom.
Let’s all lie still—pretendinotto'hea’r-J
Said, the shy 'arbutus, “till next year.
Spring will not miss us though we're not
out, ‘ '
For may show drops will be about."
So nestling down on pillows of moss,
And drawing the dead leaves still more close.
With just-the faintest of fairy sighs '
Each willful blossom shuts its eyes.
Over the hill tripped dainty feet;
Over the bill so sunny and sweet, ‘
Came the dear Spring so fresh and fair;
Singing with blue-birds’ silvery tone,
“Though the earth be brown and woods be
3
Still I am coming, my own, my own"! ,
Some of my darlings are wide awake—
Have blossomed thus early for my sake.
Precious arbutus ! methinks I 'see‘
E’en now, each white face Welcoming inc.”
Down the bill the arbutus sleeps; ,
Down the hill Spring stands and weeps.
Her tears fall fast in April showers.
“0 wake my naughty, naughty flowers!
I've come to kiss you, I cannot wait;
0 why, sweet buds, have you slept so late?"
Her fingers trembling with purest grief,
Turn down the covers of moss and leaf.
Each blossom woke with a thrill and start
For a tear lay in its fragrant heart.
Each blossom blushed for its disgrace.
Meeting the kind Spring’s sorrowful face.
Would she forgive this once and forget?
Yes, for she loved them so, and yet
To punish them, evermore that blush
Must every delicate petal flush.
f‘Good-by,” said Spring, with. a parting kiss,
"‘I’eualiy ne‘er was so sweefls this ;"
Passed on and whispered to the river 2
‘ The darlings are more dear than ever."
