The First Oyster Eater.— Once upon a time—it must have beeu a prodig iously long time ago, however—a mail of melancholy mind, who was walking by the shores of a picturesque estuary, listened to the monotonous the sad sea waves, espied a very old and ugly oyster, all covered over with parasites and sea weeds. It was so un prepossessing that he kicked it with his foot, and the animal, astonished at re ceiving such rude treatment on its own domain, gaped wide with indignation. Seeing the shelly covering, and fancy ing the interior of the shell to be bean* tiful, he lifted up the “aged native'’ for further examination, inserting his finger and thumb within the shells. The irate mollusc, thinking, no doubt, that this was meant as a further insult, snapped his pearly door close upon the linger of the intruder, causing him some little pain. After releasing his wounded digit, the inquisitive gentleman very naturally put it into bis mouth. “Delightful!” ex claimed he, opening wide his eyes. “H’liat is this ?” and again he sucked his thumb. Thus the great truth flashed upou him that he had found out anew delight—had, in fact, accidentally acliiev ed the most important discovery ever made up to that date. Ife proceeded at once to the verification of his thought. Taking up a stout, Le forced open the doors of the oyster, and gingerly tried a piece of the mollusc itself. Delicious was the result; and so, there and then, with no other condiment than tho juice of the animal —with no creaming brown stout or pale Chahlis to wash dopn the repast—no nicely cut, well buttered bread—did that solitary anonymous man inaugurate the oyster banquet.—Her tram's Jfarve.il of the Sea, —“Do you propose to put Ike into a store, Mrs. Partington?” “Yes,” replied the old lady, “but I am pestif erous to know which. Koine tell me the wholesome trade is the best, but I believe the ring-tail will be tho most beneflcious to him ill his present ab dominal condition.” MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT. Mayor —Hon.

J “I have examined with great care the Goodrich Peries of School Readers, edited by Noble Ruder, A. M. I consider those Readers admirably adapted to secure the end for which they have been prepared. Tho selections are judicious, aud the ar rangement is excellent. Reading is hero presented ns an art; tho consecutive meth ods *f instruction aro thoroughly exhibited, while tho priuciplea of correct uud elegant Ucadiug, with tho illustrations that em body them, are so happily introduced, that oas3 r and natural progress may be inado. 1 ain particularly pleased with the NEW SIXTH RKAI>ER. This work has pecu liar merits. It eouibiues, in an eminent de f;ree, the beat features of our most philo osphic systems of Elocutionary Reading; and, apart from its other recommendations, * is especially worthy of the attention of Teachers on the ground of its eclectic value. I shall iutroduco the New Sixth Reader into the Elooutiouary Department of this Uni versity. A. A. LIPSCOMB, Chancellor.” “Butlcr’H Crammers impress me very favorably. So v far as 1 have been able to examine them, they strike me as very suc cessful efforts to adept Iho subject of Gram mar to y*»ung minds. They teach tho pupil how to think in the study of Grammar; and as most Grummars fail at this point, I can very fully commend these books to the at tention of Teachers. A. A. LIPSCOMB, Chancellor.” We could append the endorsement of these rare Books from all tho important Teachers in the City of Augusta, who will hereafter use them exclusively iu their schools. Our Books have recently been adopted as follows : Readers and Grammars into all the Schools of Texas, through tho action of the State Convention at Houston, July 4th, 1866.
