my heart and My breath, and my will, In delirious joy For the moment stood still ; Life had for me then No temptations, no charms, No vision of happiness, Out of your arms, And were I, this instant, Anm^el po 'ess:d Of the joy, and the peace, That are given the blest, I would fling my white robes Unrepiningly down, And tear from my forehead Its beautiful crown, To nestle once more In that haven of rest, With your lips upon mine\u2014 And my head on your breast.You kissed met my coni, In a bliss so divine, Reeled and swooned like a drunken man Foolish with wine ; And I thought 'twere delicious To die there, if death\u2014 Would come while my lips were Yet moist with your breath.\u2019Twere delicious to die,\t1 If my heart might grow cold While your arms wrapped me round In that passionate fold.And these are the question* I ask day and night :\u2014 Must my lips touch but once Such exquisite delight?Would you care if your breast Were my shelter, as then ; And if you jvere here\u2014 Would you kiss me again?attain to that flavor and delicacy that appertain to those raised on the Shrewsbury river.The great desiderata in oysters are firmness and flavor.Some waters will produce the one, but not the other.The finest oysterv, however, arc those taken off their natural beds, and it is estimated that two generations are required to acclimate oysters taken irom neighboring waters.The crop has been unusually good and plentiful this year, but the demand for shipment has been so great that laat year\u2019s prices have been maintained.In addition, an extensive trade ha* sprung up with Europe, which gives additional employment and promises to attain to no inconsiderable proportions, as the American oyster is greatly esteemed from the purity of its flavor and the absence of the harsh, coppery taste which characterizes the British oyster.Shipping is yearly becoming more extensive, and Baltimore, though ahead at present, has a powerful rival in the metropolis, as all roads lead to it like those of the ancient world to Rome.In October the shipping to Europe and California commences, and latterly, tubs instead of scaled cans are used.In shipping to 8t.Louis, Cicinnati and other places within a distance of a thousand miles, oysters are shipped in cold weather in kegs protected by gunny bags, but in summer the kegs are placed in larger vessels, and the space packed with ice and sawdust.So expert has experience rendered the shipper, that oysters seldom spoil, and the Western purchaser may rejoice in a comparatively fresh and wholesome article.Some very absurd statements have been made regarding the extent of the [ oyster trade, by writers of more expansive imagination than acquaintance with facts.The foregoing statement* have been received from a reliable source, and are sufficient to show that the trade may be ranked as one of the most important in our home industries.Phase* of Kondon Life.The Oyster.and Brooklyn\u2014BAD-R0CKAWÀY8 AND DLX-ROCKS, BBRIWSBCRYS.The oyster trade of New York and Brooklyn as we gather from the Eagle of the latter city, Las assumed, in the past ten years a very important place on the list of our industries,' especially as the interior of the country has been opened by railroads, and this delicious member of the family of crustacse finds its way to distant\u2019Omaba^and the far West.Thirty years ago oysters were unknown in the northern part of this State, but now the beauties of Buffalo and their admirers can sit down to a festive supper of fresh saddlerock on the half I case more than ten years ago BOHEMIA.BY CHARLES E.PASCO*.It\u2019s fast going out of fashion.These is no need for it, now.That law, which, half a century since, ordained a nondescript and generally uncomfortable style of life, as the first condition of a literary man\u2019s beingT exists no longer.Intellectual toilers are better paid : why, adduce the well won tale qf Milton\u2019s glorious Paradise Lost having been sold for a few poor shillings to prove it.Not all London newspaper men have their \u201cfive thousand a year and a deer park,\u201d like one of Charles Lever\u2019s heroes.Very few, indeed, have the good fortune to he in receipt of a tenth part of that income.Yet still fewer consider that a disreputable mode of life is à natural consequence of a limited Income.Five hundred a year now-a-days will give a man a footing in London society.It will make it convenient for him to belong to his club, and the best clubs in London think it an honor for literary men to belong to their clubs.Club-bouses and Pot-houses are no longer synonomous terms.The one is the stronghold of English gentility, the other of English blackguardism.' The gulf that separates the two presents an impediment so great, that those who choose the latter for their haunts can never hop; to enter witbip the precincta of the former.Bohemianism in London is dying out : slowly, surely,dying out.Charles Dickens declared this to b6 the He was an shell.The rapid intercommunication with inland cities, which lias been developped in the last quarter of a century, has given a great impulse to exportation, and statistics from reliable sources show that many millions of dollars\u2019 worth of oysters arc yearly sent from this port alone.For instance, the average retail trade per week of Fulton Market requires 250,000 oysters, and one establishment is called upon to supply from a thousand to fifteen hundred custom'-rs daily.The wholesale department packs and exports 100,-000 weekly, and gives employment to a large number of men.The yearly returns from the home market amount to $4,000,000 per annum, and from (raclé KirarSmpTofmrm Tv\t-turn.\u2014TKol York city, and to 200 in Brooklyn.There are 750 oyster saloons in the Metropolis,^ and 100 in the city of churches.On the North and East rivers about fifty scows are employed receiving oysters from the vessels arriving from the various bays, and from these boats about 300,000 oysters are daily shipped throughout the country.Five hundred sail ing vessels are employ which number includes everything between a sail boat to a schooner of 150 tons.excellent judge in such matters, for, notwitb-.standing a strong assertion, I recollect to have seen somewhere made to the contrary, he, too, knew something of the customs of Bohemia, and was not amiss to an occasional \u201cbout\u201d with a score of good fellows when the humor took him\u2014in a little nomadic club not a hundred yards off from Covefif Garden.Convent Garden.What wonderful recollections of past jollification* come back to the memory when one thinks upon old Coo-vent Garden and its vicinity t There\u2019s \u201c Evans \u201d\u2014sacred to the shades of the truest Bohemians that have ever lived.I tread tender ground.Perhaps some surely \u2019 will take up the cudgels and da&h all coinages of the brain to piece* in ODoidlUeai.a isuvjr\u2014 upon pray i I don\u2019t recollect even ever to have seen him, though I lived for the best pari of eight years within a stone\u2019s throw of bis house, and during that time read his novels diligently.Yet I\u2019ll be bound good Thackeray many a time and oft dug his fork into the succulent _ chop and dallied with the floury crmnbs of a emnloved Vn'* this vicinitÿ, I baked potato beneath the eye of that Imperial «vervthimr between I London Bohemian, good spirit of \u201c Evans, Paddy Green.Pshaw !

The room was hung round with beautifully colored prints of gentlemen ia scarlet leaping five barred gates, and gentlemen iu green, Shooting ducks, and gentlemen in brown, driving teodems, and celebrated actors and actresses\u2014Kemble as Hamlet, Wrightas Paul Pry\u2014and no end of prints of \u201c Fights for the Championship and the Belt.\u201d There was an *\u2019 off room, too, where any hungry fellow might have a Welsh rate-bit eervod, or a broiled chop,, or kidneys, or\u2014luscious dish unknown to this side of civilization\u2014a plate of stewed tripe with onions.At the long table each gentleman had his \u201cchurch warden\u201d (long clay pipe) and tumbler of punch, and a* the night wore on, the roars of laughter shook the very sides of the old room.Many of the jokes perpetrated found their way into bar-letquesand not a few into Puch ; and I have known a paper to bave been set a-going on one of those boisterous occasions\u2014a paper which at this mement Is one of the most successful in London.There was another spot in Maiden Lane where, in the winter season, after the theatres were closed, yon might bave met\u2014indeed i you may meet now half the literary and theatrical celebrities iu London.\u201cRale\u2019s Oyster Rooms\u201d are as well known to Bohemians as the dome of St.Paul\u2019s to the Dean of that cathedral church.There was aothiog peculiar about \u201c Rule \u201d except Rule himself, who is a London character, his boneless herrings, his oysters, his bread and his butter, his ale and his stoHt, his two sons and his cayenbe pepper.I\u2019m not

back parlor, with Buckstone looking on.But as I remarked at the commencement of this paper, Bohemian ism has gode to the dogs.You will find that literary men in London prefer their clubs to the nomadic mode of life.The \u201c Arts Club,\u201d somewhere in the region of Hanover Square, is a very popular place, though it\u2019s true, you may saunter abont with a cigar in your mouth, and the porter won\u2019t stay you ; indeed you may smoke in mast of its rooms\u2014nevertheless it smocks less and less of Bohemia, although, for the mast part if not entirely, supported by the profession of letters.The \u201cArundel,\u201d in a street off the Strand, savofa rather more of Bohemia.Enter it in the middle of the day, and you\u2019ll find the waiters asleep, anti the rooms reeking of stale tobacco smoke.What the k\u2019iss of the fahy prince was to ihe beautiful prntc&s, the it\u2019s true, to TreakJasl,1 auil sil WfUl 'M iftiil*- biers well bottomed with brandy (and soda) to pull themselves together for evening.InJ deed, at five there\u2019s a table of hot dinner ; but night is the time for the J* Arundel.?Free and easy is its motto ; it is indeed recorded that a waggish member once declared that even the establishment of the lavatory was death blow to the club.However this may be, the club flourishes, and so does the lavatory.After the theatres ato over, the leading members of the dramatic profession make their appearance ; at one come the theatrical critics ; at two and thpee, men may be found writing their leaders for the morrow\u2019s paper: Printer\u2019s \u201c devils\u201d swarm on the staircase to carry the scraps over to Fleet street.\u201ej .f,( Nevertheless, the \u201c Arundel \u201d is scarcely Bohemian.The old taverns life was, but it\u20198 gone.Where are the tavern in London now?You may docket them off on yoqr fingers.Men don\u2019t like the rush and the turmoil of the modern hotel, and they flee to their club* instead.Bcsidea, the club# soften men\u2019s manners, nor suffer them to be brutish, and it\u2019q well for men that it is so.Perhaps of all rofessions, tho profession of literature most _emands that those who belong to it should be sans peur et sans reproche.That life which fifty years ago in London was common to thoae who made letters their calling, was least of all calculated to inspire respect, and most of all likely to bring the profession into contempt.It is inseparable from good writers that they have an individuality which they never lose, and it is impossible to disassociate the man from hi# writings.There is scarcely any description of modern literature, except perhaps the lowest of trashy novels but what may be supposed to do some amount Of good, and\u2018it\u2019s well to be able to know that the man who has it in his power to moralize to others in a careful guardian of his own morals himself.Facing tbe Tuileries, Palais Royal.Room 4, 6 and 6 ft.a day, Sitting-room*.TabU

a high reputation for fine sweet meat, is mostly ol native growth, and has a rich saline flavor.On account ot its delicacy it is mostly used for eating raw, and an order for half-a-dozen Blue Points on the half-shell\u201d shows the customer to be a judge of the art of good living.This species is raised mostly at the Great booth Bqy, and is the \u201cKnickerbocker\u201d of oysters.It was esteemed in old colonial days, and held the sceptre until the Saddle Rock came to mar-ket Twenty years ago Blue Points were a large oyster, but the great demand within the past twenty years has prevented their attaining to a full growth, aud the^bed has, in a measure, deteriorated.Those most esteemed are from two to two and a half inches in size, and cost from $1 to $1.50 per bushel.The Rockaway is planted principally in the South Bay, and in several places in the Sound.It is a very firm, delicate oyster, and costs about $3 a hundred, wholesale prices.There are a dozen other little bays in tho harbor, after which tho different varieties of the Rockaways are named.Among them raay be mentioned \u201c Flatlands,\u201d \u201c Millcrecks,\u201d u Cinderbeds,\u201d \u201cBrokeitollers,\u201d

costs as high as from forty to sixty cents per bushel for planting.The greater portion of the seed is caught in Tarpawn bay North river, and are planted in the various bays and creeks arouod New Ycrk,

Canterbury Cathedral which goes to show the value of such training in an emergency.When it was attempted to convoy the fire hose to the roof, where the Are first broke out, the ladders used for the purpose where found to be too short.Time was pressing ; to have sent for other ladder* would have been to give the fire such headway as to make the destruction of the entire Cathedral almost inevitable.In this juncture, a soldier who had mounted first showed that tather Tare combination of mental decision and physical intrepidity which are at the basis of the true heroic element.Without hesitating a moment, he leaped, at the risk of hi* life, for the overiMmging leaden gutter above him, caught it with one baud, and, by sheer strength, drew himself up and on tbe roof.From this position he could «wsist his comrades to ascend, and so the magnificent structure was happily saved.\t,.\t.The disturbances of Oxford, caused by the objection of many of the inhabitants of that city to the working of the Licensing Act, seem to be embittered by peculiar cireum-8tances.At one of tbe local meetings a speaker asked why the Government, when they made that Act, did not include collèges as well as other places where beer, Ac., was sold.He had had tbe honour to live in a college some thirty-nine years, and could tell them that during that time he had served out more gallons of beer on Sundays than on any other day in the week.Beer was called for by fellowB and parsons on that day, and he had known them to sit and drink and smoke daring church time.He could assure them that he was stating nothing but facts.It was a base thing thiA they (the colleges) should be allowed to sell the quantity of beer they did without a licence.Why did they not tax them as well as the publicans ?They told them it was a private establishmenl but he had sent out from college gallons of beer to the lodging-houses, and had never received orders to the contrary.Every gentleman who entered a college before he commenced an account had to pay down £20 caution money, and then the magistrates were unable to interfere.The lady who heard a lawyer defending a man\u2019s character on the ground that so far from stealing a watch his own had been stolen, objected to his making sdeh \u201c nice distinctions.\u201d Indianapolis, Oct.10.\u2014Returns received up to noon to-day are more favorable

has been to stimulate his countrymen so that they shall not Call behind in the race that is going on in the Province for intellectual and material sui»e-riority.It may just be possible, and we hare heard it from mère quarters than one, he may unconsciously, while he was pressing forward his own countrymen, have repressed the zeal of Protestants on the subject of education.Mr.Chauveau has not only earned golden opinions in Montreal, but has culled some laurels by his treatment of Protestants there.W e _ \u201e tell him that he will materially strengthen hi» position in Quebec, if he will only follow out here the same policy, which has proved so successful in Montreal.SIR GEORGE CARTIER.The Montreal Gazette says.\u2014A cable received on Thursday from Sir U«or*« E.Cartier, d»t«d-fK>m U-ndon gi,M the gratifying intelligence that the medical men whom he has consulted hold out strong hopes of his complete re covery within a short time.W e are quite sure that this news will be received with unqualified satisfaction by the people of Ce^ada without distinction o party, and that their prayers will ascend to Almighty God for the fuU realization of the hopes thus held out to us.\u201cTHE GREAT LONE LAND.\u201d This is the title of a \u201cNarrative of Travel and Adventure in the North West of America,\u201d by Capt.W.F.Butler, F.R.G.S.There are books whose principal claim to notice consists in a telling display of the arts pictorial and typographical, but while the present has everything to recommend it on those grounds, it possess an infinitely higher claim in the shape of deeply interesting information, presented in the guise of a charming style.It would require a lengthy notice to give this work even » modicum of justice,' so we shall not attempt anything beyond conveying a faint idea of its scope and character.The Author sought and obtained, after some trouble, a commission or employment in connexion with the Military Expedition to the Red River, under Col.Wolsely.The Captain\u2019s task was to go round by way of the Northern Pacific Railroad to Pem bina, crossing Minnesota, from the ter minus,\u2014by stage and steamer\u2014thence to Fort Garry\u2014for the purpose of watching, any Fenian or other hostile enterprises designed to impede EDUCATION IN QUEBEC While we were penning the last editorial on this subject, we find, though we were not aware of it, that the Council of Public Instruction was then in session We have since been informed that it had been summoned to take action on a mat ter that had been under discussion on a former occasion, and that the result of this meeting was on the whole satisfactory.It seems that immediately on its assembling, the Council decided that it it was expedient that it should resolve itself into its two Committees, which was accordingly done.As we are chiefly in teres ted in the action of the Protestant Committee, we have not as yet made any enquiry as to what was before the Catholic, but have ^confined ourselves to the proceedings ofa the \u2019 first.We may here say that we have not been dependent for our information on^any member of.either Committee, butjhavejreceived it from one who is always well informed on such matters, and who doubtless had been in communication with some one who could speak authoritatively.Though not proceeding from an official source, we say with confidence, that anything that we may now say may be looked upon as reliable.The members of the Protestant Board present were the Bishop of Quebec, Rev Dr.Cook, Mr.Solicitor-General* Irvine, and Hon.Mr.Ferrier, of Montreal.We believe that Mr.Chauveau, as Minister of Public Instruction, had given his assent to a proposition that one thousand pounds of the Marriage license Fund should be at the disposal of the Protestant Committee, In aid of the Collegiate Institutions We further learn that, after a very friend 'ly discussion, this turn was, with the full consent of all present, awarded in the fol-iowiqg proportions l Tam thousand dak XennoxiTie, and one thousand to Mor-rin Colleges.It* is understood that the remainder of the Marriage License Fund is to be devoted to the purposes of general education.We are also informed that the Committee was unanimous in the passage of a resolution affirming that it was desirable that the Protestant Committee should he incorporated by an act of the Legislature, in order to enable it to receive and expend bequests and donations that might be made for the advancement of Protestant education.We understand that if Mr.Chauveau has not given his formal fassent to this proposition, he has expressed himself as having no objection to it.The question of the Grammar\u2019s Schools, «fee., Ac., was also taken up, and a series of resolutions'pass-ed.We are glad to find, though it is no more than we expected, that the Minister of Public Instruction appeared disposed to adopt cordially these propositions of the Committee.This is all very well, but the question of Protestant or Catholio education, we have always maintained, ought not to be retained in its present anomalous position, and since the law and public opinion have decided, that Catholics and Protestants are not to sit side by side in the Common School, but that we are to have Catholic and Protestant Universities, we now say, that it would be better for all parties, that it would certainly be better for Mr.Chauveau, that the Catholic and Protestant .Universities, and schools, should each be .left to the exclusive control and management of their own friends.We must do no injustice to Mr.Chauveau.We cheerfully recognise his many personal qualifications, and the ability and zeal with which he has striven to advance education in the Province, especially in connexion with those of his own race and faith - and though he is perhaps in advance of the time, it must be admitted that he has accomplished much, which, without his earnestness in the cause, might have been yet left undone.Our objection then, to his interference in - Protestant education, is not personal, for we know of no French Catholic to whom we would so willingly entrust Protestant interests, as Mr.Chauveau, as long as the present state of the law exists.But we desire that a change should be at once made.Not a mere tinkering, but a radical change, which would enable Protestants to feel that in themselves solely was the power of deciding in what manner their' children were to be educated.It may be asked would we abolish the Ministry of Public Instruction.We answer, No! As long 4as education, receives aid from the State it is due to the State that institutions drawing such aid should give an account of their stewardship, and that they should* report semi-annnally or annually, so that the Minister would be in a position to judge whether the law was being faithfully carried out.This security to the public would be very much enhanced by the establishment of a system of public inspection.We object to any greater power than this being placed in the hands of any Minister of Public Instruction.We think Mr.Chauveau is animated with a spirit of fair dealing towards Protestants, but we also know him, and we do not on that account think the iess of him, to be a thorough Frenchman, in heart, soul and sentiment.budding at Kingston, they are k-atlcHs at Montreal, and Quebec is white with snow.Even between Montreal and Quebec, a short night\u2019s steaming, there exists a difference of ten days in the opening of the summer.Hut late as comes the summer to Quebec, it comes in its loveliest and most enticing form, as though it wished to'atone fore its long delay in banishing from such a landscape the cold tyranny of winter.And with what loveliness docs the whole face of plain, river, lake, and mountain turn from the iron clasp of icy winter to kiss the balmy lips of rcturing sum-ami to welcome his bridal gifts of sun and shower I The trees open their leafy lids to look at him\u2014the brooks and streamlets break forth into songs of gladness\u2014\u201c the birch-tree,\u201d as tho old Saxon said, \u201cbecomes beautiful in its branches, and rustles sweetly in its leafy summit, moved to and fro by th
