The Arllflrliil Production nf Oyster.
There Ins been limilile among tho oyntcra
Ail summer Star IUh ami other natural ene
mies hare been numerous, and In some canes
lie beds bavo been almost dcpopnlatcd. This
his led dealers In tho bivalves lo look mure
eloeely Into Iho mutter of the artificial produc
tion of oysters in small salt-water ponds, and
iome experiments havo been made in this di
section, which, during tho last week, hare
surned out to bo most snccesnful. Fih Com
inimoner Jliackfnrd, who heiuN tho trado In
Triton Market, New York, say tliut ho now
irgards tho question of artificial production of
oyeters as settled. An appropriation of f 5,000
Ins been expended in the experiments, and it
is regarded as money well invested, since at
one lime this summer it looked as if most of
the oyster beds in this vicinity would bo en
ilitlf destroyed.
l.ilV. Itiirilrn.
Alsige psit of lifi-H Imidens are s'lf-iin-foed
and wholly li'.ullr a.s. l'csr.i of calami
ties which never happ?u, a doleful habit of
looking at the worst, a suspicious dispecMion,
a jeslons turn of mind tin so aro the tyrants
that load us with burdens besvy to bear and
needbss lo carry. If we should honestly 01
smine Iho various burdens of our lives, we
would b. surprised lofind how many of them
are of this character. Not only may wo drop
them if wo will, but jiiblico to others demands
that we should. A man or woman habitually
unhappy is essentially seliish, ami is always a
tliorn in the community. There are enough
eiosscs and trials In lifo which must be borne,
without manufacturing srtillcialand needlesa
ones; and llio morn thoroughly we rid our
elves of (he lalbr, the more energy and
spirit we can hi ing to bear upon tho former.
A Town Where No Co. I or Wood I. Wauled.
Not a pound of wood or coal, is consumed at
Creighton, twenty miles from ritlsburg,'whero
the Pittsburg Plato Glaus Company have their
plant. jlass factory and residences arc heated
and lighted by natural gas. Gas was struck at
1,200 feet in a five inch boro. A torrent of
trbal the owners drscriho as "pure nitrogen
gas" bursts out with a force of 260 pounds to
the square inch, and after throe years is flow
ing with ss much energy as over. Tho visitor
tees no coal, no wood, no cinders, n ashes, no
tmoko. In the furnaces is a, lurid, steady htmt
tegulated by clock-work. No grimy stoker
sweats his lite away at furnaco doors, but in
stead a calm person with a stained glass shield
invites you to look at tho glass Ihrougli the
epen furnaco doors, where glares a heat suf
ficient to doter a modern Bhadrach, Moahach
and Abednego. Overhead gas-burners are
ablaze in broad day, because it is not worth
while to take time to turn (he burners off and
on, as there is plenty of gas and to spare. In
the residences a thumb-sorew regulates the
temperature lo perfection.
The Temper. "
If people generally knew what an advantage
to them it was to be cheerful, thore would be
fewer sour faces in the world and Infinitely
less ill-temper. A man never gains anything
by exhibiting his annoyance by Ills face, much
less by bursting into passion. As it is neither
manly nor wit to yield like a oulld pettishly
to every cross, so it is alike foolish and absurd
10 allow feelings of anger todeprivo us of self
tontrol. There novcr was a man in any con
troversy who lost his temper who did not
eome near losing his. cause in consequonce.
K ever a person plays tho gamo of his onomics
it is when he is in a passion. Acquaintances
shin men of proverbially ill-tr.mpor ; friends
. drop away from them ; even wives and cliil
dren gradually learn to fear thorn moro than
to love. Thousands of men owo their want of
success in life to neglecting tho control of
their temper. Nor have they tho excuse thai
11 is an infirmity which cannot bo rostrained j
for Washington, though naturally of aimst
passionate disposition, disciplined himself
nnVl he passed for a person utterly Impassive.
. No man who neglect his tomror can be happy
round. Good temper ia gold, is beyond
price. Bad tomper is a enrso to the poBSoesor
Md to society.

Ivy Lawns."
Ivy Iowns are known to but few among the
many wiio tq. Interested! lu 'gardening econ
omy. They consist,, as name, implies, of
ivy only, aud they etTcr some pjillaradvan
tagck in eases whero grass lawnsaro apt to
occasion More trouble than they ro worth.
An Ivy lawn may bo tfoll thadeun"onc season,
and If the primary operstlon cNplanting be
properly performed llio lawn will make itself;
it will want no cutting, no sweeping, no water
ing, no protection from tho birds that eat the
grass seeds to-day and to morrow scrotch np
the tender plants, as though it was thsir mis
sion to make grass lawns impossible. And
when made, being, as it were, self-made, an
ivy lawn will take care of itself for any num
ber of years; but if In need of repair or trim
ming, tho knife, the shears, or the spado may
be used with tiuskilful hands, and with the
least Imaginable cost of time, for it is not an
easy thing to kill, or even to seriously injure,
a lawn consisting of ivy solely. Such lawns
are unfit for games, and indeed should not be
trodden on. They will not, therefore, super
cede grass in a country garden, which, per
haps, is a matter for congratulation; but they
will glvo us the most delightful breidth of
verduro in thousands nf places whero grass ia
moro plague than profit, and, at tho very best,
tends to disgraco lather than adorn the posi
tion. (en. Lee on I'rnnkueas.
A letter of Gen. Lie to bis sou,' written in
1SG2. has Just been given to tho public, in
which he discourses on the value of frankness 1
I am Jnst in the act of leaving home for New
Mexico. My flue old rcgiimnt has been or
dered to that distant region, ami I must hasto i
to sco that they aro properly taken care of. I
have but little to add in reply lo your loiters
of March 2, 27 ond 2S. Your letlem breathed
a true Ktsiit of frankness; they have already
given myself and your mother great pleasure.
You must study to be frank with the world;
fraidiiii ss is the child of honesty and eniicign.
Say what you ni- iui to do on every occasion,
nod take it for granted you mean to do right.
If 11 friend asks a favor you should grant it if
it is reasonable; if not, 1,11 him plainly why
you cannot; you will wrong him and yourself
by equivocation of any kind. Never d a
wrong thing lo make a friend or tn keep one;
tho man who requires yon to do so is dearly
bought at a sacrifice. Deal kindly but firmly
w ith all your elas-M .ten; yon w ill find it the
policy which wean nest. Above all, do not
appear to others what yon aro not. If you
have any fault to find with any one, lei! him,
not others, of what you complain; there is no
more dangerous experiment than that of 1111
dei taking lo lie one thing before a man's faeu
and another behind bis back. Wo should live,
act and say nothing to tho Injury of any one.
H is not only beat sa a matter of principle,
but it is tho path to pcaco and honor.
