Retiring from Business.
BRET “ARTE.
What the colonel’s business was nobody '
knew, nor did anybody care particularly. IIc
purchased for cash only, and never grumbled
at the price of anything he wanted. Who
could ask more than that?
Curious people occasionally wondered how,
when it had' been fully two years since the
colonel, with every one else, abandoned Dutch
creek to the Chinese, he managed to spend
money freely and to lose considerably at cards
and horse races. In fact, the keeper of that
one of the Challenge hill saloons which the
colonel did not patronize was once heard to
wonder,abscnt-mindedly, whether the colonel
hadn’t a money-mill somewhere where he
turned out eagles and “slugs" (the coast
name for 830 gold pieces.)
When so important a personage as a bar-
kceper indulged publicly in the idea, the in-
habitants'of Challenge Hill, like 'good Cali-
fornians everywhere, consider themselves in
duty bound to give it grave consideration;
so, fer a few,days,ccrtain. industrious profes-
sional gentlemen, who won money of the
colonel, carefully weighed some of the
brightest pieces, and tested them with acids,
and sawed them in two, and retired, and
melted them up, and had the umps assayed.
The result was a complete vindication of
the colonel and a loss of considerable custom
to the indiscrect barkeeper.
~ The colonel was as good-natured a man as
had ever been known on Challenge Hill, but,
being mortal, the colonel had his occasional
Q
times of despondency, and one of them oc-
curred after a series of races in which he
had staked his all on the bay mare Tipsie and
lost.
Looking reproacbfully at his beloved ani~
mal, he failed to heed the arching void of his
pockets, and drinking deeply, swearing elo-
quently, and glaring defiantcly at all man-
kind were equally unproductive of coin.
The boys at the saloon sympathized most
feelingly with the colonel. They were un-
ceasing in their invitations to drink, and they
exhibited considerable Christian forbearance
when the colonel savagely dissented with
every one who advanced any proposition, no
matter how incontrovertible. B_ut unappro-
ciated sympathy grows decidedly tiresome to
the giver, and it was with a feeling of relief
that the boys saw the colonel stride out of the
saloon, mount Tipsie, and gallop furiously
away. '
Riding on horseback has always been con-
sidered an excellent sort of exercise, and rid-
ing is universally admitted to be one of, the
most healthful means of exhilaration in the
world but when a man is so absorbed in his
exercise that he will not stop to speak to his
friends, and when his exhilaration is so com-
plete that he turns his eyes from well-mean-
ing thumbs pointing significantly into door-
ways through which a man has often passed
while seeking bracing influence, it is only
natural that people should express some
Wonder.
The colonel was well known at Teddy Flat,
Lone Hand, Blazier’s, Murderer Bar, and
several other villages through which he
passed. As no one had been seen to precede
him, betting men were soon offering odds
that the colonel was running away from
somebody.
Strictly speaking they were wrong, but
they won all the money that had been staked
against them, for within half an hour there
passed over the same read an anxious looking
individual, who rcined up in front of the
principalfisaloon of each place and inquired if
the colonel had passed. _
Had the gallant colonel known that he was
followed, and by whom, there certainly would
have been an extra election held at the latter
place very shortly after, for the pursuer was
the constable, and for all oflicers of the law
the colonel possessed hatred.
0n gallopcd the colonel following the stage
. road, which threaded the old mining-camps
on Dutch Greek but suddenly he turned out
of the road and urged his horse through the
young pines and bushes which grew thickly
by the road, while the constable galloped on
to the next camp.
There seemed to be no path through the
thickets into which the colonel had turned,
but Tipsie walked between the trees and
.shrubs as if they were familiar objects of his
stable-yard.
Suddenly a voice from the bushes shouted:
"What’s up ?”
“Business—that’s what.“ .
“It’s time,” replied the .voicc, and it's
owner—a bearded six-footer—emerged from
the bushes and stroked Tipsie’s nose with the
freedom of an_ old acquaintance. “We ain’t
had a nip since last night, and there ain’t a
cracker or a handful of flour in the shanty.
The old gal go back on yer ?"
“Yes." replied the colonel, ruefully, “lost
every blasted race !, ‘Twasn't her fault—
blcas her—she done her level best. Ev'ry
body to home ’1’”
“You bet," said the man. “All been a
prayin’ for you to turn up with the rocks an’
somethin’ with more color than spring water.
Come on.”
The man led the way, and Tipsie and the
colonel followed, and the trio suddenly found
themselves before a log hut, in front of which
sat thrcc solemn, disconsolatc individuals,
who looked appealiugly to the colonel.
“black ’11 tell yer how ’twas, fellers.” said
the colonel, mcckly, “while I picket the
mare.” .
The colonel was absent but a few moments,
but when he returned each of the four were
attired in pistols and knife, while Mack ,Was
distributing some dorninoes made from a
rather dirty flour sack. ‘ ' .
“Taint so late as all that, is it ?” inquired
the colonel. ,
“Better be an hour ahead than'o miss in
this ere night," said one of the four. “I ain’t
been so thirsty since I came round the horn
in ’50, an we ran short of water. ' Somebody
’11 get hurt if there ain’t any hitters in the old
concern—they will, :or my name ain’t Per.
kius.” '
“Don't count on your chickens 'forc
they’ve hatched, Perky,” said one of the
crowd as be adjusted the domino under the
rim of his hat. ‘;S'posiu there should be too
many for us i"
‘ tiddy,stiddy,Cranks i” rcmonstrated the
colonel. “Nobody ever gets along of they
’low themselves to be sheared."
“Fact,” chimed in the- smallest and thin-
nest man in the party. “The Bible says
somethin’ mighty hot’bout that, I disrerncm.
ber edzactly how it goes, but I’ve hem Par-
son Buzzy, down to Maine. preach a rip-
plin’ old sermon many a time. The old man
never thought what a comfort them sermons
wuz agein’ to be to. a road agent, though.
he didn‘t have no more manners than to draw
on me, them sermons wuz a perfect blessing
to inc—tho thorns of ’cm cleaned my head as
quick as a cocktail. An’——"
“I don‘t want to dispute Logroller's pious
strain," interrupted the colonel, “but cz it‘s
Old Black that‘s arrivin‘ to-day insread of Slim
Mike, and cz it’s Old Black allers made his
time, hadn’t we better vamoose ?"
The door of the shanty was hastily closed,
and the men filed through the thicket until
near the road, when they marched rapidly on
in parallel lines with it. After about half an
. hour Perkins, who was leading, halted, and
wiped his pcrspiring brow with his shirt
sleeve.
“Fur enough from home now," said he.
“Taiut no use being’ a gentleman if yer
have to work hard.“
“Safe enough, I reckon,” replied the col-
onel. “We’ll do the usual : I'll halt ‘cm:
Logroller, ’tend to the driver; Cranks, take
the boot, and Mack and Perk that right and
left. An’ I know its tough—but considerin’
how cverlastin’ eternal hard up we are, I re-
ckon We’ll have to ask contribution from the
ladies, too, of ther’s any abroad—ch, boys P”
“Reckon so.” replied Logroller, with a
chuckle that seemed to inspire even his black
domino with a merry wrinkle or two. What’s
the use of women’s right, ef-they don"t:cvcr
have a chance of exercis’n ’em. Heviu’ their
purses borrowed ’ud Show ’cm the full doc-
trin in a bran night. -
“Come, come, boys," interposed the col~
onel, “thar’s the crack of old Black’s whip;
pick yer bush—quick! All jump when I
whistle."
Each man secreted himself near the road-
side. The stage came swinging along hand-
somely; those inside were laughing heartily
at something, and Old Black was just giving
a delicate touch to the flank of one off lcgler
when the colonel gave a shrill, quick whistle
and five men sprang into the road.
The horses stopped as suddenly as if it
were a matter of common occurrence. Old
Black dropped the reins, crossed his legs,and
stared into the sky, and the passengers all put
out their heads with a rapidity equaled only
by that with which they withdrew them as
they saw the dominos and revolvers of the ~
road agents.
“Seems to be something the matter, gen tle-.
men," said the colonel blandly, as he opened
the door. “Won’t you please get out ?
Don’t trouble yourself to draw, ’cos my friend
here’s got his weapon cocked an’ his fingcr’s
rather nervous. Ain't got a handkerchief,
hev you ?“ asked he of the first passenger
who descended from the stage. “Hcv ? Well
now, that’s lucky. J ust' put yer hands be—'
hind yer—so—that’s it.” And the unfortu-
nate man’s hands were securely tied behind
him in an instant. . ’ _
The remaining passengers were treated
with similar courtesy, and the colonel and
his friends examined the pockets of the cap-
tives. ' Old Black remained unmolested, for
who ever heard of a stage-driver having
money ?
“Boys,“ said the colonel, calling his
brother agents aside and comparing receipts,
“tain’t much of a haul, but there’s only one
woman, and she's old enough to be a fellfi’s
grandmother.”
“Like enough she’ll pan out more than all
the rest of the stage put together" growled
Cranks, carefully testing the thickness of the
case of a gold watch. ,.‘,“Just_like the low-
lived deceitfulness of some folks to hire an
old woman to carry their money, so it'd go
safer. hlcbbe what she’s got ain’t nothin’ to
some folks that got bosses that kin win mon-
ey at races, but—”
The colonel abruptly ended the conversa.
tion, and approached the stage. He was very
chivalous, but Crank‘s sarcastic ,refercnce to
Tipsy needed avenging and as he could not
consistently with business arrangements put
an end to Cranks, the only lady would have
to suffer.
“I beg your pardon, ma 'am," said the col-
onel, raising his bat politely with one hand,
while he drew open the;coach door with the
other, “but we are taking up a collection for
some deserving object. We was goin’ to
make the gentlemen fork over the hull amount
but ez they ain’t got enough we will have to
bother you,” .
The old lady trembled, felt for;her pocket-
book and raised her veil. 'The colonel looked
into her face, slammed the stage door, and
sitting on the hub of one of the wheels stared
vacantly into space.
“Nothing '1’" queried Perkins in a whisper,
and with a face full (if genuine sympathy.
“No—yes,” said the colonel dreamily,
“That is, untie ’em, and let the stage go
ahead,” he continued springing to his feet.
“I’ll hurry back to the cabin.” And the
colonel dashed into the bushes and left his
followers so paraly zed with astonishment that
Old Black afterwards remarked,that if there’d
been anybody to mind the horses he could
have cleaned out the hull crowd with his
whip- - .
The passengers, now relieved of‘their wea-
pons, were unbound, allowed to enter the
stage, and the door was slammed, upon which
Old Black picked up the reins as if he laid
them down at the station while the horses
were being changed, then he cracked his
whip, and the stage rolled off, while the col-
onel's party hastened back to the hut, fondly
inspecting as they went, certain flasks they
had obtained while transacting their business
with the Occupants of. the stage.
Great was the surprise of the road agents
as they entered their but, for there stood the
colonel in a clean white shirt, and in a suit
of clothing made from the limited spare .
wardrobes of the other members of the hand.
But the suspicious Cranks speedily subor-
dinated his wonder to his prudence, as
leaving on the table a heavy purse. he ex—
claimed: .
“Come, colonel, business before pleasure :~
let’s divide and scatter. Ef anybody should
hear about it an’ find our trail, an’ ketch the
traps in our possession, they mighe—” '
' “Divide yourselves i” said the colonel,with
‘a white abruptncss and a great oath: “I want
none of it."
“Colonel,” said Perkins, removing his own
domino and looking anxiously into the leaders
face, “be you sick ? Here’s somegbully
brandy which I found in the passegers’
pockets." '
’ “It hain’t nothin’,” replied the colonel,
with averted eyes. “I’m gold, and I’m rc—
tiriu’ from business forever."
“Ain’t goin' to turn evidence?" cried Cranks
grasping a pistol on the table.
“I’m agoinl to make a lead-mine of you cf
you don't take that back ?’,’ roared the colonel,
with a bouhd that caused Cranks to drop the
pistol and retire precipitately, apologizing as.
he went. “I’m going to attendJo my own
business, and that’s:enough to keep anybody
busy. Somebody lend me $50 till I see him
again."
Perkins pressed the money in the coloncl’s
hand,and within two minutes the colonel was
- on Tipsic’s pack and galloped off in the di—
rection the stage had taken.
He overtook it, passed it and still he gal-
lopcd on. .
The people at Mud Gulch knew the colonel
well, and made it a rule never to be astonish-
ed at anything he did; but they madean ex-
ception for the rule when the colonel can -
vassed the principal bar-rooms for men who
wished to buy a horse, and when a gambler
who was flush obtained Tipsie for twenty
slugs—only $1.000, when the colonel had
always said there was not gold enough on top
of ground to buy her—Mud Gulch experienc-
ed a decided sensation. '
‘But whenithe colonel, after remaining in
the barber-shop for half a. hour emerged

fortune by betting against every theory that

Then the colonel made a tour of the stores ,

terns and- pronounced colors so dear to the
heart of the average miner. lie bought a new
hat, and put on a pair of boots, and pruned
his finger-nails, and stranger than all, he
mildly decidedly all invitations to drink.
As the colonel stood at the door of the
principal saloon, where the stage always stop-
ped, the Challenge Hill constable was seen to
approach the colonel and tap him on the ‘
shoulder, when all the men who had but that
the colonel was dodhing somebody claimed
the stakes. But those who stood near the
colonel heard the constable say :
“Colonel, I take it all back. Whenl seed
you come out of Chaltengc Hill, it come to
me that you might be in the road agent busi—
ness. But when I seed you -scil Tipsie I
knew I was on the wrong trail. I wouldn't
suspect you now if all the stages in the
country was robbed; and I’ll give you satis-
faction any way you want it.”
“It’s all right,” said the colonel, with a
smile. The constable'afterward said that no-
body had any idea of how curiously the colo
nei sailed .when his heard was off.
Suddenly the stage pulled up to the door
with a crash, and the mail passengers hurried
into the saloon in a state of utter indignation
and impccuniosity.
The story of the robbery attracted every—
body, and during the excitement the colonel
slipped out quietly and opened the door of the
stage. The old lady started and cried :
“George l”
And the colonel jumped in the stage, and,
putting his arm tenderly around the trembling
form of the old lady, exclaimed:
"Mother!"

THE THREE BROTHERS.
The Columbia and Frazer rivers drain the
great northwest territory 'and' British Colum-
biaand find their sources away among the
sndw-clad mountains of the Cascades, one of
the most beautiful ranges on this continent.
Some of the wildest scenery, the finest land-
scape, most wonderful cascades,pretty water-
falls and charming scenery can be had by
sailing along these rivers. Some of the
grandest combinations of rocks grouped to-
gether that ever mortal eye beheld. Some
of the loftiest summits that lift themselves
like lone sentincls as if they they would rise
and kiss the clouds of the sky and whose
crowns are covered with the (laws of heaven.
Do we talk of Italy, with her balmy clime
and charming scenery, with her silvery
lakes and enchanting views, with her hills
and dales, her forests and fields, with her
paupers in rags and her gondolas of the sea,
with . her peasants of beauty, with their
gazelle like eyes and bewitching smile that
guides the poet’s pen of fancy, with her
lofty mountains rising to kiss the morning
and whose crowns are clothed with frost
and dew as the sun reflects his golden light
upon its crystals. Do you not call this beau-
tiful? Is not the soul of man inspired and
lifts himself for from this mortal soil through
this ephemeral realm of cloud and smoke,
turmoil and sorrow, from nature upward,on-
ward, through to nature‘s bower. If this is
beautiful what must you call the spot where
I soon must lead your kind readers—in imagi-
nation—over rocks and bushes,over hills and
through dales until we reach the enchanted
place of the gods. Here is lovelinesss in the
extreme. It is hid in every fossil of the
rock, it gushes out from the overhanging
precipice. Avalanche upon avalanche of snow
there lies piled upon their barren bosoms to
slowly melt away/”before the heated rays
of the sun to return to their homes in the
waters of the Columbia. It is far more
beautiful than the valley of the Yosemite
and equal in grandeur and magnificence to
the fanfamed sights that are seen as viewed
from the capital of Quito. Poets have lav-
ished the wealth of their extravagant pens
upon the scenery of foreign shores. Their
rich vein of imagination have given it a col-
oring that has far surpassed the reality. But
here it is not so, and if they could now stand
where the writer does, what bewitching
power would guide their unchained hands as
they stood powerless and almost speechless
as the rocks towered in splendor before their
dazed and overwhelming imagination. Land-
scape of infinite variety everywhere rises to
meet the astonished bewilderment. Helooks
to the right and there is no limit, to the left
of him and the same incorrigible beauty;
before him arises without limit, and onward
and onward they go until the eye becomes
wearied and worn with nature’s boundless
and inexhaustible supply of variety, rocks of
varied splendor, cascades o’erleaping trc-
mendous chasms, mighty gulches that inter-
vene look in the distance like the heave and
swell of the rolling sea, while yonder lies the
fertile plain, (the pride and power of our
nation, it is the back-bone of our country,
and ere long will be dotted with pretty vil-
lages,) extending to the very base of the
mountains whose crowns dwell in the zone
of frost and snow. Nature here wells forth
'in all its grandeuer like some behemoth of
the forest, tall, grand and imposing they
stand cuchaining you with inspired awe and
reverence of the power of the Almighty.
She is clothed to the very summit of her
mountains, her river's banks are cpread with
a rich velvet of green, while every where the
graceful deer and her fawn can be seen as
she flees away from the huntsman fear, the
crack of the rifle sounds faintly on her car
as she speeds away and from danger steers
clear, while the silvcrcd waters as they roll
by you is the home of the salmon and the
red man. How many a'Hiawatha has here
wooed to her bosom her lover,and how many
have shed a tear of despair—the waters of
the deep will have to give the answer or
ever thc sacred mystery keep. Her very
waters as they sport with life speak in unde-
niable tones of the voice of nature, with the
Three Brothers looming up in the ‘distance
“lends enchantment to the view.” .
I stood as though bound by prison bars‘ranl-
fixed. euraptured, immovable, for it seemed
as if the voice of nature whispered quietly
through to nature’s God. Here is the limit
of beauty, here the grandest efforts have
been outdone, here is the highest order of
design. Architecture, that needs no sculp-
ture; paintings that need no retouching;
sketches that far transcend anything dreamed
of by mortal man stretches itself like a beau-
tiful panorama before the vision. 1 was lost
in this beautiful mirror of reflection. This«
grand collection of groupings that is seldom
found even among the Juras of Switzerland,
or the Sieras of America.
Follow me gentle reader in a sail up the
Columbia on whose bosom floats many a no-
ble ship from the'occan and whose banks are
studed with the Siwash canoe whose flip—
pant oars push the boat noiselessly through
the water. '
A few hours’ pleasant sail from Portland,
along a beautiful agricultural country, with
the tall mountains looming up in the dis—
tance, and as you proceed up the river, the
mountains are drawn closer together with
their tall spires marked out on the line of the
horizon until they seem to cluster around
you as you as you approach them, and as if
they would hem you in by barriers insur-
mountable, but as you approach they open
up a beautiful avenue of scenery, varied as
the colors of the bow, until they seem to
l rise is perpendicular. height like the walls of
a building,frorn the banks of the river where
you come to tho cascades or rapids. Ilcrc
the waters boil and soothe, roll, and tumble
over each other among the rocks with a roar
resembling that of distant thunder, as if in
their mad element they wish to tear the
very rocks to pieces that causes the commo—
tion. The spray as it rises mingling with
the sun’s rays forms a panorama of splendor
that can be better appreciated to be seen than
described. Look to the left of you and,
what does the eye there behold ? A cataract
o'erlcaping a precipice of 2,000 feet before it
falls upon the rocks below. This is one of
the prettiest sights on the river. The water
that first falls in one vast sheet, gradually
scatters, and before it reaches its bed has
turned into a line mist or spray, and stand-
ing in a certain position the sunlight moving
slow’ with the spray transmits the colors of
the rainbow.
Again we change boats and ascend the
river as far as the Dalles. Here we are at
our journey‘s end by water when we take
our leave of the river and proceed on our
journey on mule back. Did you, kind‘
reader, cvcr ride a “bucking mule 'r” If you
have you will have something of the knowl—
edge of lighting on the soft rocks at his
heels with a temper that would want the
sauvity of a divine to keep within bounds.
After several vain attempts to ride him I‘
preferred to walk, for I was in somewhat of
a hurry, and after several hours winding
our way among paths and trails, over rocks
and down steep precipiees, we arrived at the
summit of the Kiikitat Mountains, and
though but three miles awayI believe we
had to go ten to get there. However we
reached it and the scenery from this sublime
point well repaid us for. the trouble, where
from whose summit proudly waves the stars
and stripes, the. noblest .cmblcm of our
Union.
From this location can be seen the-Three
Brothers, like vast giants rising superior to
their neighbors—Mt. Hood, Mt. Ranier and
Mt. Adams, and to the north but a few
miles lies the Simcoc Mountains, while at its
base stands the pretty village of Goldendale
the county seat of Kiikitat. These three
mountains are clothed with snow to their
base. The summer’s heat makes no impres-
sion upon them, and though so far away yet
they seem scarcely a league, while the beaué
tiful' valleys are teeming with vegetation
with not a white man scarcely to break up
her virgin soil. There it lies and the red
man the sole possessor. 0 what splendor
here wells up before the yearning soul. What
magnificent views rises before his visions.
What awe inspiring revelations of his Maker
as he stands and beholds these giant wonders
before him.
as he contemplates the vastness and extent
of this country, and slowly did I wend my
way from this enchanted spot with brain be-
wildered, with imagination overwhelmed
with the power and‘ grandeur of God’s
universe. Enwm Comsrocn.

The Oyster's Enemies.
The oyster is not permitted to enjoy his
subterranean leisure undisturbed, even during
the summer months. The latest enemy that
has attacked the favorite bivalve is the mus-
sel, which kills its victims by strangulation.‘
One of the most important oyster grounds
around New York is Prince’s Bay, on
the south side 9f Staten Island, the waters of
which cover about thirty-live square miles.
Nearly one-fourth of this Space, extending
from the Light to the Gray Kills along the
shorepend about three miles seaward, is
thickly strewn with mussels. Last year they
were mostly on the “Middle Ground," as it
is called, but this year they are below it. The
oystcrmen have not been seriously troubled
by them for ten or twelve years, although
there were a good many of them three years
ago. There are two kinds of mussels, the
gray and the black, the latter being the ones
that do the damage. They are found fre-
quently from two and a half to three inches
resembling a soft clam, and are used by a
good many persons for food. The greater
value of the oysters, however, makes their
presence undesirable. ~
Bay, said to a Tribune reporter recently that
the greatest enemies of the oyster in that
neighborhood were mussels, drum-fish and
“two-legged-thicves.” “The mussels,” he
said, “are nearly as bad as the sea-stars,
which they have further east. The sea-stare
are found in bunches sometimes two or three
feet thick. They fasten their prongs around
the oyster and kill it in a short time, and they
sweep the beds clean where they go. The
mussels have not troubled my grounds, but
they have others near me, and they say that
they will not have half a crop, and that the
vield of the Bay will be decreased about one-
scventh. There is certainly a scarcity of
large oysters now, and they are the kind most
in demand for opening. But the trade is dull
anyway until Septembeg' The mussels are
found in windrows, as we‘ call tnem. .This
year they have attacked the oysters in the
mud,-whilc at other times they will be found
on hard bottom. They apparently breed,
as oysters do, by spawning, and when young
appear like little white specks on the oyster.
They fasten on the beak of the shell, and
when two years old are so large as to pre-
vent the oyster’s feeding. The only way to
save the oysters is to take them up, clean
them, and put them in another spot. But
oysters die so quickly that it does not do much
good. The mussels will affix themselves
only to clean objects, and prefer to fasten on
the young oysters. They always kill a great
many in the beds they attack. We get the
young'oysters, or seed, mostly from Newark
Bay, although some are obtained elsewhere.
We name them according to the neighbor—
hood tbc seed comes from. About 300 bar.-
kets of seed plant an acre; and after two
years they are transplanted from a hard to a
soft, or from a soft to a hard bottom for a
few months to fatten. These should yield
1,200 baskets, and bring about $1,000, which
gives $500 profit." '
“Who owns the oyster grounds in Prince's
Bay ?" .
“The State does, but we have a recognized
rule that anyone shall‘not be molested on
his grounds as long as he works them."
Mr. Jones was standing on his sloop back
of the oyster sheds as he spoke, and he sang
out, "Come, boys, we’ll go back now.”
“What, do you go back without selling
out ‘3” said the reporter, noticing nearly half
a cargo of oysters in his boat.
“Yés, I have sold all the large ones. and I
will take these back and give them a drink
and bring them in again some day."
Mr. Collins, a Keyport oystcrman, said the
mussels had troubled his side of the bay.
One of his men called the reporter’s attention
to a “drill,” looking much like a common
cone-shaped snail-shell. “These drill through
the shells of the young oysters," said he,
“and kill them." He showed several shells,
perforated by a tiny hole. Prince’s Bay ap-
pears to be the only oystergxound infested by
mussels.

river about a week ago, was found Friday
floating in the river between Essex and Deep

L WHAT IS THE GAIN.
What is the Earn a
If one should run a noble race
And at the last, with weary pace.
Win to the goal, and find his years
A harvest-field of waste and tears,
Of turmoil and of buried trust,
Rich with dead hopes'and bitter dust,
And strife and sneer and ceaseless pain.
What is the gain?
What is the gain?
When, having reached a sunlit height,
Through barren sweeps of gloomful night
Hoping to see beyond the crest ‘
Fair lands of beauty and of rest,
There lies bnfore, ‘strctched far away
Unto the confines of the day
A desolate and shadcless plain,
What isthe gain ?
What is the gain?
The race is wen, we see the light,
We cenqucr where the storm-winds tight ;
We show the way to those who wait '
With faint hearts by the walls of fate -,
Our banners flutter in the vim
0f battles fought for thought and man,
And ignorance and darkness wane—
This is the gain.
=1?!-
Sometime.
‘ Sometime, when all life's lessons have been
learned,
And sun and stars forever more have set,
The things which our week judgments here -
have spurned, ,
The things o’er which we grieved with lashes
wet, . ‘
Will flash before us out of life's dark night,
As stars shine most in deeper tints of blue,
And we shall see how all God’s plans were
right, .
And how what seemed reproof was love most
true. '
And we shall see how when we frown and
sigh, -
God’s plans go on as best for you and me ; '
How, when we called. he heeded not our cry
Because His wisdom to the end could see;
And, e’en as prudent parents disallow
Too much of sweet to craving babyhood,
So God, perhaps is keeping from us now
Life’s sweetest things because it seemeth
good.
And if, sometimes, commingled with life’s
wine _
We find the wormwood,and rebel and shrink,
' Be sure a wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out the potion for our lips to drink.
And if some mt! we love is lying low,
When human es cannot reach his face.
Oh! do not blame the" loving Father so,
‘ But wear your sorrow with obedient grace,
And you shall shortly know that lengthened
breath '
Is n‘otthe sweetest gift God sends His friend,
And that, sometimes, the sable pull of death
Conceals the faircst boon His love can send.
If we could push ajar the gates of life,
And‘stand within and all God‘s workings see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find a key.
But not to-day. Then be content, poor heart!
God‘s plans like lilies pure and white unfold;
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart;
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold.
And if through patient love we reach the
land
Where tired feet with sandals loose may rest,
When we shall clearly know and understand,
I think that we shall say “God's ways were
best. ”

Is Anything Fit to Eat.
The objections that are'made to one after
another of the commonest articles of diet
leads the New York Herald to remark that
it would appear there is among us a num—
bcr of base pe us who are conspiring to
make trade for grave diggers. There is not
a single dish in common use,but is soundly
abused by some one; bread is ’said to be
worthless because it lacks the glutenof the
wheat, butter is said to be the cause of
biliousness, salt thickens the blood and
makes the user cross, milk softens the
muscles and bones, beef stack! contains
prussic acid, mutton is unfit to out unless it
has been kept so long that is unfit to smell,
pork means trichinre, fish thins the blood,
tomatoes produce cancer, berries sour on the
stomach, the coats of which are ruined by
rhubarb stalks in pie or sauce; green beans
produce boils, and the dreary list, might be‘
extended indefinitely. {Between all these
calamities and death by starvation there
is not much choice? unless one prefers
to prolong a miserable existence by using
some of the alleged foods» that are put up in
bottles with attractive labels. Yet somehow
people go on eating all these dreadful
things and living, and when any particular
food product fails and another is substituted
the health of the public does not seem to suf-
fer by the change. If the people who buy
family stores will pay less attention to talk
about the healthfnlness of various articles of
food andmore attention to such methods of
cooking as will make food {most palatable
and easy of digestion there need be very lit-
, tle fear of the natural quality of the rough
materials brought to the cook. It is the dry
tough steak, the leathery slices of fried ham,
the undercone vegetables and overdone meets,
the mischief with American digestion, health
and temper. . .

Too Anxious to Marry.
N. Y. World.
There is one reflection suggested by the ex-
ploits in the marrying and awlndling line of
Mr. Arthur Merritt'which does not seem to
have commanded itself to any of our ea— ‘
teamed contemporaries yet is very obvious.
This man of sixty has managed to marry
nearly a dozen women in a very short space
of time ; once. indeed, he was averaging very
nearly a wife a week. Without an exception
they were women of some education and‘in-
telligcnce. Was he absolutely and exclusively .
to blame, or should not some responsibility
attach to his victims and to the social system '
under which they live ? Reduced to plain:
language the case is about this: In a career '
lasting some years and'extcnding over a wide -
extent of country, Merritt does not seem to
have encountered one woman who on his own .
assurance that he was Well to do was unwil-
ling to marry, off-hand, a total stranger old
enough to be her father! This same fact was
as conspicuously illustrated in the case of the
accomplished bigamist who came togrief last -
year at Chicago, after 'having married and
diserted nearly twr nty women. He was not
an old man, but he was far from attractive
and entirely without fortune or the appear-
ance of it. This readiness to enter upon the
most sacred and important. relations of life
‘witbout for a moment weighing the responsi-
bility or counting the consequences is,in con-
nection with our divorce system, one of the
gravest and the least satisfactory features of
our society.
