streets, 10 miles in iength, are not unusual.The distance between Mount Royal Vale and the oity Post-office is about three miles and a half.Within that short space are situated nearly all our prin- clpal business places, public institutions and private residences, The Windsor Hotel, the Fraser Instituts and other important public institutions, now in course of erection, are a long way oat St.Catherine strest and Sherbrooke street.The most disect roads, will soon bo well-built streets, the entiro distances, and the great thoroughfares of the Weat-eud, Owners of real estate in those directions may rest at ease, for wealth is rolling on towards them, as certainly as the sun advances daily in the same direction.In the Vale, investments will bs mors profitable, for there the land Is sold at a very low prica.The chespest land between shat place and the olty, acquired within the last five years, cost the present owners, in most cases, twenty times dearer than the proprietor of the Vale paid for his, hence the reason why he can afford such bargains.The brick fields are dezidedly the best in Oanads.With cheap land, cheap building material, fres water, perfoct drainage and no taxes worth mentioning, it is easy to soe tho advantages of purchasing there.Another thousand lots are offered, of forly fast by one hundred and twenty, for five huaadred dollars por lot on terms within the reach uf all, viz, one dollar per week;

BROTHERHOOD, THEIR ORIGIN AND HISTORY.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A brief sketch of the International Brotherhood of Engineers that played such an important part in connection with the late strike in the G, T.may not be without interest at the present time.It was first instituted at Detroit, Michigan, on the 17th August, 1863, under the title of the BROTHERHOOD OF THE FOOTBOARD, On the first anniversary of its existence, it was reorganised at Indianapolis, Indiana, when the name was changed to the Grand International Division of the Brotherhood of Locomctive Engineers, The object of the Association was stated to be \u201cto elevate their standing as such, and their characters as men.\u201d A Board of Trustees and Officers were appointed.The latter consists of the Grand Chief Engineer (who is at present Mr.P.M.Arthur), First Grand En- sistant, Second G.A.do, Taird G.A., Grapd Guide and Grand Chaplain, The Chief and Second Officers devote all their time to the affairs of the Society, and receive salaries.The head-quarters of the Brotherbood are at Cleveland, Ohio, where they will remain, by resolution of the Society, up to 1880.Conventions are held annually, however, in the month of October, in whatever cities may be agreed oa by the delegates.A monthly journal, well edited under a committe, is published and circulated among the brethren.Au.nual dues, are payable with an outrance fee of $10.The dues are one doliar per month.Sub-divisions, acting] under charters from the Grand International Division, are established in all the States and Canada.All applications for charters must.be accompanied by a fee of $10.The officers of the sub-division are elected annually, and consist of Chief, First and Second Engineers, First, Second and Third Assistant Engineers, Guide and Chaplain, The Brotherhood is limited to white men, and they must be over 21, able to read and write, good moral character, temperate habits and a locomotive engineer in good standing.Before an applicant is admitted, a committee of three members must investigate bis character, ability, habits and standing, and the division must be assured on all these points before it admits him.The influence or sympathy of the Brotherhood as a body is prohibited from being enlisted or used in favor of any political or religious organization.Any brother who has misconducted himself, or been guilty of drunkenness, keeping a saloon wherein.toxicaling liquors are sold, or being enyaged in the traffic of intoxicating liquirs, he majority, Any brother nealecting his duty, iojuring his employer's property, or endangering the lives of persons wilfully, through drink, is subject to à like penalty.On the death of à brother, the Chief Engineer of the Division is to enquire into the necessities of his family, and render all needed assistance and protection, so long as required.In order to prevent any trouble between enginsers and their employers, it is the duty of the sub-divisions of the Brotherhood to exhaust every means to bring about a settlement.When this cannot be effected, the Grand Chief Engineer is to be notified in detail as soon as possible, The Chief Officer is then to give the matter pro- cedence over all other business, and to visit the locality where the trouble exista, He is there to act as a mediam, and use all honorable and just measures to adjust the differences amicably.The Society is very powerful, having over 90 per cent.of the engineers in the United States, and, probably, 75 per cent.in Canada in connection with it.Its accumulated funds are now very large, and its annual incomes exceeds that of any other trade society on the Continent.In connection with the Brotherhood is a Life Assurance Association, in which there are over 3,000 members, The amount last year paid into the agsurance fund was $164,855, whilst the amount paid out was $158,887, giving $3,000 each to the representatives of 53 engineers who were either killed or die of disease, - FINANCIAL.Star Orricw, 4 p.m., January 5, 1876, Sterling Exchange, quiet, steady, 87 between banks, and 93 over the counter ; gold drafts on New York, quiet, 2 premium.Sales at

grand-daughter, was treated with marked attention during the New-Year\u2019s reoaption at the White Houxe.The Washington Evening Star says : \u2018Tuis young lady, age 6 months, received in her nurse's arme, and was not at all disoon- certed by the flattering attentions shower.¢d upon her.She wore a dainty robe of white French lawn, with narrow \u201cstrips of insertion showing its pattern over pals blue silk.The robe was high in the throat, and fastened down the back with bows of blue ribbon.A gold necklace was clasped about her throat, and dainty gold bracelets, with tiny blue turquoise hearts pen dant, were worn over the long sleeves at the wrists.Upon one of the dimpled fingers sparkled a solitaire diamond ring, guarded by one set with turquoise.\u201d HOW £20,060 WERE USED UP, There died last week a man whoze name was once rather widely known in Amerios : Sir Henry de Hoghton, the wealthy baronet whose sy mpathies with the Southern Confederacy were strong enough to indace him to * invest\u201d £200,008 in rebel bonds, He was understcod to have held on $0 the last, and, of course, lost every penny of the sum\u2014a million of doMars in gold.A still larger fortune, however, remained to him.He was thrice married, and his last wife turvives, but he dies childless, and the baronetcy devolves on his brother, It is the second oldest baronetage in England, and the family is far older than the baro- netage, It is said the lands of Hoghton held by Williemus de Hooton in 1147 have remained in the family to the present day ; the $200,000 abe.o Demtione ç- ing been derived from some other source, \u2014New York Tribune's London Letter.WHY NOT IN CANADA?An American paper says :\u2014 : \u201cFruit and vegetable packing has become one of the great industries of our country, Boston was the pioneer in the business, but it now flourishes at various centres.Baltimore, for instance, is most advantagecusly situated for peaches and pears.Boston leads with her sweet corn and tomatoes.California furnishes by far the most cauned apricots, plums, grapes and psare, and this because these fruits are go abundant and cheap at the San Frencisco market.Strawberries, cherries and raspberries come mainly from the South, where the fruits and labor are cheaper.Blueberries are principally can- ved in Maine and the Provinces, with a few in New Hampshire.À general fruit- packing business is done in New Jersey, sud in Syracuse and Rochester, N Y.Within the last few years large quantities of packed pine apples have been brought from Nassau, N.P., where the fruit flourishes, and where it is now often canned whole, JUST LIKE THE AMERICANS, The Paris correspondent of the London Telegraph writes : \u201c\u2018 A locil newspaper, named the Journal de Luneville, gives an account of à strange incident which occurred inits locality on Friday last.A gentleman dressed in fashionable style went to a leading establishment of the place and asked for a hot bath.Before undressing, he sent the waiter for a num: ber of articles, of which he gave a list, written on a piece of paper.Among other things he ordered a bottle of white wine, sore whiskey, red pepper, carrots, turnips, tomatoes and onions.After pouring the liquor into the bath he cut the vegetables into small pieces, sprinkled the pepper over them, and then turned on the tap of boiling water.When the bath was filled Le undreseed, and crying out, ¢ Good-bye ; I\u2019m going to cook myself in the American fashion,\u201d plunged in.Suspecting some strange conduct, the attendants burst open the door, and found the man almost boiled to death.An investigation proved that he had suddenly gone mad.\u201d ANOTHER ARCTIC EXPEDITION.The Philadelphia Press says: \u2014A movement is on foot to ask Congress to an- thorize the President to organize aud send out one or more expeditions toward the North Pole, and to establish a temporary colony for purposes of exploration at some oint north of the 81st degree of morth atitude on or near the shore of Lady Franklin Bay ; to detail such officers or other persons of the public service to take part in the same as may be necessary, and to use any public vessel that may be suitable for the purpose; the scientific operations of the expedition to be prosecuted in accordance with the advice of the Nationsl Academy of Science, and to appropriate 850,000, or such part thereof as may be necessary, out of any moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to be expended under the direction of the President, until the purposes of the appro- riation shall have been completed, or so ong as the expedition shall be engaged in its duties.The partial failure of the recent British Arctic expedition seems not to dampen the ardor of our scientific men, who believe that Yankee enterprise and daring will be productive of more fruitful results, DISCOVERY OF NICKEL.The Williamsport Gezette gives a long account of a valuable mineral discovery on the mill peoperty of D.H, Shale & Co., in Nippenose Valley, one of the most remarkable in Northern Pennsylvania.The nature of the rock in the shaft has been ascertained to be as follows : The first mineral found in the shaft is within eight feet of the surface, and consists of cobalt, tul huret of iron, and nickel.Three feet below this appears to be a vein of fifteen incker, carrying a trace of gold and about three per cent.of cobalt, and from four to seven per cent.of nickel.Then for three feet the mineral is light.Following this is another vein, two feet In thickness, of wickel and silver, with scarcely a tiace of iron, but a strong deposit of arsenite of nickel.Mr, Christopher, a miner and chemist, has succeed.«d in obtaining from the ore pure specimens of nickel.The mine is within eighteen miles of Williameport, and steps are to be taken to erect the necessary worke, Nickel, although much indemand by manufacturers, is.very scarce, there being only ¢ne mine at the present time in the United States, and that is located near the village of Georgetown, in Lancaster County.fast year it is reported to have yielded a profit of $500,000.The other wires are in Norway and Sweden.At ihe present time nickel in a pure state is worth five dollars per pound.It is one of the most beautiful of metals\u2014is magnetic, malleable, ductile and latninable, and is much used in the manufacture of German silver, plating door knobs and many other things, Its beauty consists in its high polish ard freedom from tarnish.The Government ures it largely in the manufacture of money, and the demand for it is constantly increasing among manufacturers, THE POPULATION OF THE WORLD.The London Times published recently an extract of an account of the population of the world, annually prepared by Drs.Behm and Wagner, and published by Perthes, from which it appears that the population in 1876 may be ta :en at 1,423,- 917,00, of whom nearly one-fifth, or 309,- 178,000, reside in Europe, and probably 400,000,000, or fess than one-third, belong to the European civilization, Four-sevenths of the world's people, or 824,000,000, reside in Asia, and half of these are Chinese.; The population of America, natives ia- cluded, in both divisions of the continent, is only 85,000,000, of whom we imagine about balf are of pure-blooded European descent, The population of Africa, arrived at, of course, by more cr less careful guessing, is set down at 199,900,U0U, of whom scarcely one per centuin can ba fairly set down as civilized men, aud little more than ten per centum as semi- civilized.The Turkish Empire is estimated at 46,000,( 00, including 20,000,000 iu Ervot and its dependencies, with Tunis and Tripolis but the population in Enrope is only 8,000,600, and in Asia 13,500,000.Half the European population vf Turkey ak least is Bulgarian, andif we add the Greeks and Slavs, we shall find that the dominant caste does .no§ exceed one-fourth of the whole, to whom the other three-fourths are ta A DIMINISHED YIELL IN POTATOES\u2014 TOBACCO ABOUT THE SAME AS LAST YRAR, The report of the Department of i- culture for November aod December wos just been issued.The returns of the corn and cotton crops were published in November, The potato crop falls not only far b.low the extraordinary crop of 1875, bat considerably belowan average crop, Among the causes of diminished yield drought was most widespread, The sweet potato crop «11875 was a fair one, both yield and quality.That of this year nearly eqaats it 'u both respects, The reported entire pro- ductof hay is eight per cent.above that of last year, and the averagequality about five er cent, better.Returns from all sections indicate that the product of beans is about seVen per cent, less than that of last year, The preductof buck wheat last year exoeed.ed that of the previous crop.\u2018This year it falls about eight per cent.short.Returns shew an increase of about 14 per cent.over year's comparatively large crop of sorg.bum.The tobacco counties\u2019 reporting the comparative product make returns not yuite so favorable in the aggregate as those of last year.A decrease of product is imdi- cated in Massachusetts, Connecticat, New York, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee.Au increase is indicated in Penneylvenis, Ohio, Tadiana, and Illinois.Kentmoky reports about the same as last year.The quality of the entire crop of tobaceo averages about the same as that of last year.Almost the ovly complaint about the apple crop is that its superabundance has greatly diminished ita market value, The Dscem- ber returns indicate that the acreage in winter wheat has been increased about five per cent.over that of the previous year.\u2014 Philadelphia paper.SPECIAL

How stands now the proud man who would have destroyed me and mine ?\u201d \u201c Low, indeed ; broken, beggared, and outcast!\u201d returned Nathan, with emphasis, A grim smile sat on Wilton\u2019s features, ¢ Retribution I\u201d mutterrd he, ¢ retribution!\u201d \u201c A heavy one, Eustace Wilton,\u201d saïd Nathan, with & sharpness in his tone not usual with him.\u2018 He has been struck to the beart in his family as we:l as in his fortune, I have small pity for the man, for be paused not at crimes the most foul to accomplish his selfish ends; bat I cannot look at the stain which has befallen upon the female members of the family without a feeling of pain and regret.They were, at least, innocent of harm to you, in thought or act.\u201d « My children were iunocent of wrong to Grahame,\u201d said Wilton, harshly, \u2018 but he spared them not.\u201d \u201cYou are not a Grahame!\u201d cried Gomer, in a startling voice.\u201cYou do not take his infamous conduct as your standard of action\u2014do you ?\u201d ! Wilton shrunk back, and felt the color | spring into his cheeks, as he behe!d the glittering eye of the little man fixed upon his features, as if to read by their expression what was passing in his heart.; With an effort he assumed a cold de- | meanor, and said\u2014 \u201cTell what is the exact position of the family at the present moment ?\u201d #1 have,\u2019 said Gomer, with a manner as cold as his own.¢I will repeat it.Grahame has fled, it is not known where, although a hot search has been made for him.The sheriff is in possession of his house in London, at my suit.His eldest daughter fled from his house and became a mother before she knew she was a wife ; his second daughter hag eloped with the Duke of Castle-Rose, and isnow his kept mistress, The proud mother\u2014the destruction of ber husband, and, 60 far as she could be, the ruin of her children\u2014Is confined to her bed with a wasting illness and crushed brain ; she is a hopeles idiot.The son is in prison, arrested at the suit of a tailor, who has been discounting his bills, which he has dishonored.That is the condition of the proud Grahames.I ack you are you satisfied; are your feelings of revenge glutted by this wholesale wreck of the family \u201c'There\u2014there was, I think, another daughter,\u201d said Wilton, in a low, hesitat- ingtone, \u201cYou did not mention her.\u201d \u201c Natban shrugged his shoulders, and said, tartly\u2014 \u201cYou mean the youngest, Evangeline, a simple, artless, innocent girl, with a foolishly affectionate mature.She is pretty and engaging, and has been giving clandestine meetings to a young lawyer's clerk, If he happens to be a scoundrel it isnot difficult to prophecy what will be ber fate.Again I ask you, are you satisfied 7\u201d Old Wilton rose up; he pressed his clenched fist upon his heart, In a hoarse voice, be exclaimed, \u201cIam shocked, I am horrified, Gomer.I contemplated this situation with a vile satisfactien.I am terrified at its realization.My vengeance, ugh ! it ie\" gorged.We must in- terpuse\u2014stay the farther progress of their misery, We will save this child \u2014 this Evangeline, and rescue, too, the rest from destitution and perdition.Oh, pride, accursed pride! it bas triumphed over the reason and the conscierce of both Gra.bame and bis wife, Had they listened to the gentle pleadings of natare, rather than the dictates of an overweeniag, selfish, unfeeling, arrogant pride, home and family might have at this moment been to them à source of the purest do.mertic felicity, What is Ît now\u2014I shudder to rfl: ct upon it.The bappinsss of their children could never have been an elewent in their worl: ly calculations ; on the contrary, they have trampled on the natural affections, aud have considar- ed tlhuir c{f-pring rather as appendages to their state than as children part aud par- col of themselves.Oh, it is terrible! it is terrible!\u2019 \u201cIlo! ho!\u201d shouted Nathan Gomer; and springing up, he caught Wilton by the wrist, saying, with vehement earnestness, \u2018\u2018\u2018 Bufore all thiogs, truth; and They beheld Nathan Gomer | A STORY FOR BOYS.\u2014\u2014 By Rav, NORMAN McLEOD.D.D.(Reproduced by permission of Belford Bros, Publishers, Toronto) CHAPTER IV.THE GREAT LION\u2014THE LITTLE SQUIRREL \u2014AN OLD FRIRND\u2014THE BLOODHOUND \u2014 THE LAST TEMPTATION, But Eric had now to endure a great trial of his faith in the thread, As he journeyed on, it led him up a winding path to- , wards the summit of a hill.The large trees of the forest were soon left behind, and small stunted bushes grew among masses of gray rocks, The path was like the bed of a dry brook, and wasoften very steep.There were no birds except little stone-chats, that hopped and chirped among the large round stones, Far below, he could see the tops of the trees, and here and there a stream glittering under the sunbeams.Nothing disturbed the silence but the hoarse croak of the raven, or the wild cry of a kite or eagle, that, like a speck, wheeled far up in the sky, But suddenly Eric heard a roar like thunder coming from the direction towards which the thread was leading him, He stopped for a moment, but the thread was firm in his hand, and led right up the bill.On he went, and no wonder he started, when, as he turned the corner of a rock, he heard another roar, and saw the : head of a huge lion looking out of what seemed to be a cave, a few yards back from the edge of a dizzy precipice.He saw, too, that the path he must follow was between the lion's den and the precipice, What now was to be done?Should he give up his thread and fly?No.A voice in his heart encouraged him to be brave and not fear, and he knew from his experience that he had always been led in [a safety and peace when he followed the road, holding fast to his thread.He was certain that his fathernever would deceive him, or bid him do anything but what was right ; and he was sure, too, that the lady, from her love for him, and her teaching him to trust God and to pray, would not have bid him do anything that was wrong.And then an old verse his father taught him came into his mind-\u2014 In the darkest night, my child, Oanst thon see the Right, my child ?Forward then! God is near! The Rignt will be light to thee, Armor avd might to thee; , Forward ! and never fear!\" So Eric resolved togo on in faith, There was just one thing he saw which cheered him, and that was a white hare, sitting with her ears cocked, quite close to the lion\u2019s den, and he wondered how she had no fear, but he could not explain it at the time.On he walked, but he could hardly breathe, as the thread led still nearer and - nearer to the den.These big eyes were glaring on him, and seemed to draw him closer and closer.There the lion stood, on one side of the path, while the great precipice descended on the other, One step more and he was between these two dangers.He moved on until he was so near that he seemed to feel the lion\u2019s breath, and then the brute sprang out on him, and tried to strike him with his huge paw that would have crushed him to the dust.Eric shut his eyes and gave himself up for lost, But the lion saddenly fell back, for he was held fast by a great iron chain, and so Eric passed in safety.Ob, how thankful he was! and how gladly he ran down hill, the lion in his den rosring behind him, Down he ran until all was quiet again.As he pursued his journey in the beautiful green woods, something told him his greatest trial was past.He felt very peaceful and strong, And now, as he reached some noble old beech trees, the thread fell on the grass, and he took this as a sign that he should lie down too, ard sohedid, grateful for the rest, Heate some of his cake, and drank from a clear spring beside him, and feasted on wild strawberries which grew in abundance all round him, He then stretched himself on his back among soft moss, and looked up through the branches of the \u2018 gigantic tree, and saw with delight the | sunlight speckling the emerald green leaves and brown bark with touches of silver, and, far up, the deep blue sky with white | clouds reposing on it, like snowy islands | on a blue ocean; and he watched the squirrels, with their bushy tsils, as they ran up the tree, and jumped from branch to branch, and sported among the leaves, until he fell into a sort of pleasant daydream, and felt so happy, he hardly kuew why.As heley here, ho thought he heard, in his balf-waking dream, a little squirrei sing a song.Was it not his owa heart, now so glad because doing what was right, which was singing?This was the song which Eric thought he heard :\u2014 1 \u201c1'm a merry, merry gqnirrel, All dey I ieap and whi], Through wy home lo the old bsech tres ; 1t you chuse me, I will run, In the shzdo and in the sun, EUt 3 OÙ D: Ver, Naver can catch 240!

Ano I waken up the hat, \u2018Who flivs off with & scream, For he thir: ks that I\u2019m the cat truth at all times!\u201d Why, pride does this for you, Wilton ; pride makes you deter.| mine to trample on the natura! aff sctions You\u2014you wou d break your daughters heart rather than she should not give her | band to a mast dishonorable Honorable | You would, at the inspiration of pride, sta 1p out her truthfalness, by compelling ! her to swear at the altar to love and honor a man she could never love and never honor.Pride urges you to crush all your only son's hopes of earthly happiness, rather than he should mate with one who | possesses a ra e combination of human virtues, but is not garbed in fie linen, and cannot disport her dainty limbs ina | bandsome carriage.Goto! have you not one excuse for Grahame's frailty ?\u201d Old Wilton groaned aloud, and buried his face in his hands.(Zo be continued) Hall's Journal of Health advises over- stout people not to seek to reduce flesh by drinking vinegar or smoking, but to maintain as perfect a digestion as possible and avoid fat-making foods, such as starch in the shape of potatoes, flour bread, and rice, Spirits, malt liquors, and sweets are to be abjured.The gluten of wheat is the best food, full vigor, but it will not add an ounce of fat to the body.Pourcirg on him fn his dream, Ha, ha, ha! ha, ha, hia! hia, ha, ha! \u201cThrough all fhe summer long I never want asoug, From my bir's in the olo beach trees; 1 have singera als che night, And, with the mornlay bright, Come my busy, humming fat brown bees.When l've nothir g elss to da, With the nursing birds sit, And we laugh at the cuckoo A-cuckooing to her tit!

Ha, ha, ha! ha, ha, ha! ha, ha, ha!\" As Eric opened his eyes and looked up, he saw little squirrel, with its tail curling up its back, sitting on a branch and looking down upon him ; and then it playfully ran away with the tail down and towards which he was descending.Wren vear the river, he perceived something struggling in the water, and heard a loud ary or scream for help, as if from one drowning, He was almost tempted toraa off to his assistance without bis thread, but he felt thankful that the thread itself led in the direction from whence he heard the cries coming, So off he ran as fast as he could, and as he came to the brink of à deep, dark pool in the river, he saw the bead of a boy rising above the water, as leaped in over bead and ears, and then band swam to where the boy had sunk.He soon caught him, and brought him water.\u201cEric !\" cried the gasping boy, opening pie eyes, almost covered by his long, wet air, \u201c Wolf !\u201d cried Eric, \u2018\u2018 is it you ?\u201d It was indeed poor Wolf, who lay panting on the dry land, with bis rough garments dripping with water, and himself hardly able to move.\u2018\u201c Oh, tell me, Wolf, what brought you here?I am so glad to have belped you !\u201d After a little time, when Wolf could speak, he told him, in his own way, bit by bit, how Ralph had suspected him; and how the old woman had heard him speaking as she was leaning out of an upper window; and how when Ralph asked the gold belt he couldnot give it; and how he was obliged himself tofly ; and how he had been runming for his life for hours.\u2018\u2018 Now let us fly,\u201d said Wolf; \u201cI am quite strong again.I fear that they are in pursuit of us.\u201d They both went on at a quick pace, Eric having shown Wolf the wonderful thread, and explained to him how he must never part with if, come what may, and having also given him a bit of his cake to comfort him, \u201c O rub-a-dub, dub !\u201d said Wolf, squeezing the water out of his hair, as he trotted along; \u201cI am glad to be away, Ralph would have killed me like a pig.The voice told me to run after you.\u201d Sa on they went together, happy again to meet.( To be continued, ) = NATURAL HISTORY.A Queer CoLorADO Fisu,-\u2014It was the head of a catfish, the body of an eel, the legs of a lizard, while the gills are long feathery plumes.In the fall of 1859 the writer carried back to the States four of these strange fish, preserved in alcohol, They were procured in Gold Lake, Bulder County, a beautiful body of water, in which they were as thick as tadpoles in a puddle, One of them was forwarded to Prof.Agassiz, who said the fish was the first discovered by Humboldt in the mountain lakes of Mexico.He did not know it Was fourd north of that country until he received the specimens we sent him.Itis not really a fish, but belongs to the batra- chian family, SEx or THE OysTER.\u2014The testimony of several well-known scientists goes to prove that all oysters have reproducing powers, At certain seasons of the year oysters are filled with eggs.These eggs are microscopic, and give birth to myriads of little oysters, which we call spawn.This spawn remains for a certain length of time in the shell, when in proper season it leaves it, swimming with remarkable agility and seeking the place where it will | remain as a fixture daring its life.Exceedingly small oysters have quite early in life the power of reproducing their kind, but of course this depends on such circumstances as whether the oysters are living in a medium where food can be found in abundance.They can, if surrounded by favorable conditions, prodace their kind during the first year, and sometimes twice a year.War THE BirLs AccomruisH.\u2014The swallow, swift, aud nighthawk are the guardians of the atmosphere.They check the increase of insects that otherwise would overload it.Woodpeckers, crespers and chickadees are the guardians of the trunks of trees.Warblersand fiycatchers protect the foilage, Blackbirds, crows, thrushes and larks protect the surface of the soil.Snipe and woodcock protect the soil under the surface, Each tribe has its respective duties to perform in the economy of nature ; and it is an undoubted fact that, if the birds were all swept off the face of the carth, man could not live upon it ; vegetation would wither and die; insects would become so numerous that no living thing could withstand their attacks, The wholesale destruction occasioned by grasshoppers, which have lately devastated the West, is undoubtedly caused by the thinning out of the birds, suzh as grouse, prairie hens, etc, which feed upon them.The great and inestimable service done tothe farmer, gardener and florist by the birds is only becoming knowa by sad experience, Spare the birds and save your fruit ; thelittle core and fruit taken by them is more than compensated by the quantities of noxious insects they destroy.The long persecuted crow has been found : by actual experiment to do far more good | by the vast quantities of grubs and insects : hedevours than the little harm he does in ; the few grains of corn he pulls up, He is | one of the farmer\u2019s best friends.FAITHFUL UNTO DgaTH.\u2014The follow- | jug story has travelled all over Lurope.This copy is from a Norwegian work, A merchant was on a journey accompanied by his doz.Having transacted his business and received a considerable sum of money, which he carried in a valise behind the saddle, he was now on his way home, Asherode along it appears the valise became detached and fell off the horee.The man never observed this, but .the watchful eyes of his four-footed companion, trotting along behind him, were .Instantly alive to the fact, and the dog de.i termined to do his duty, and he seemed to know what his duty was.It was to cause his dear master to stop, for the poor dog was unable to drag the valise along with him, The dog must have had reason and presence of mind to act ashe did.Running forward, he commenced barking furiously and springing up at the horse, and continued this behavior so long that the merchant became.surprised, and could not conceive what was the matter.He called rose to the surface, and with his other | the dcg had gone mad; he loved is por friend, and it wounll pain him very much to kill him, but he taw no other judicious course ; kill him he must, Long he hesitated, trying to quiet | him with his voice, but after a time, finding all efforts useless, Le draw a pistol, | rointed it at the dog, and turning his eyes awsy from his victim, pulled the trigger.; The gocd dog fell, but he recovered himself at once sufficiently to crawl howling with i agony to bis master, still dear to him, the poor little fellow tried to keep himself ~The merchant could not support the afloat, Now he sank\u2014again he rose\u2014 ' sight; he gave his horse a spur and dashed until he suddenly dicappeared.Eric laid ' forward, Lut he soon stopped ; he must, he hold of his thread with a firm hand and ' thought, have one look bohind him to sce if the poor creature whom he had so loved was alive.The dog was not in sight ; but what did he observe?\"The valise was gone !
