Politically and so- oally it was the beginning of an entirely. chapter in human history, and it wrought effects upon men*e speculative thinking which, though perhaps less eenspicuous. were not less reel or re- markable. In much more than the mere geographical sense was this the dis- oovery <>f » ««»• world - K was ^ jn a complicated series of events which four centuries have not yet fully round el into a period; the foundation of a ae w Knrope in America, in Africa, in Australia and in the islands of the Pa cific ; the rise of the English race to political and commercial supremacy, and the advance of the English language toward what may become universal do minion; tho reorganization of govern ment upon a higher plane than the middle ages had even been nblo to fore shadow; the renovation of society in the old Europe through countless subtle ini'uouces; the permanent triumph of the industrial over tho predatory spirit; the successful assertion of individual troixlom against the paralyzing absolut ism inherited from tho Roman empire; the overthrow of sacerdotalism, and tho Christianization of tho world. It would probably bo too much to assert tiiat some of these desirable results might not have been uttained, so far as the old Europe is concerned, even if the lands tieyond tho sea had never been explored and colonized. It is unquestionable, however, that the progress would have been much slower and much more sub ject to interruption. Tho part per formed by Englnnd, for example, in the work of Enropean civilization since the age of Elizabeth has l>een so immense and so complicated tiiat no elaborateness of analytic description can do it justice. Yet England in Elizabeth’s time wus hardly a first-class power, and but tor the colonization of America in the seven teenth century it is difficult to see in what way she would so surely or so soon have gained the commercial supremacy which gave her in the eighteenth the dominion of the ocean, and thus secured her the foromost position in tho world. To those—and there are many such in America—who are in the habit of re garding American history os a dry and uninteresting study, it may be a profita ble matter of reflection that sinoe the beginning of tho seventeenth century it w impossible to follow intelligently the aft sirs of the old Europe through a stn- rI- generation without constant refer- entx* to the New World.—John Fiske, ton ll'irix TH Magazine. AS OYSTER 8TUDY. nrxoxic jokes. Notwithstanding Byron’s assumed con tempt of death, nothing could exceed his abject terror wlion laboring under even tho slightest illness. He was dining at Pisa, with Hunt, Trelawnoy and Shelloy, one day, when ho was suddenly seized with a violent nttack of colic. He hastily arose from tho table, threw him' self upon the Bofa, and began to say, " Oh, my Ood! I am dying, I am dy ing !” Trelawnoy, who was a very pe culiar man, went up to the terrified l«ird, and said, 11 Como, come, Byron, if you are dying, you needn’t make such a confounded fuss about it." The tone in which he said this was so irresistible that the Hick man could not help joining in the laughter which Trelawney’s non chalance caused. Byron, who really at heart was a very kind man, and whose nature rose at every oppression, was vory fond of making himself out a very had one, and when he had indulged himself with a little more gin and water than usual he would frequently grow almost maudlin over his imaginary wickedness. One night ho was partic ularly dismal over his own iniquities, and expressed great repentance. He was vory mnch pnt out by Mrs. Hunt saying, in a tone of affected oonnotation, "Come, my Lord, you are not half so wicked ss you flatter yourself you are." He gave his publisher, JTohn Murray, as a birthday present, a Bible very nicely tiound. On the ontside, stamped in golden letters, was the inscription, " From Lord Byron, to his friend, John Murray, Esq." This was ostentatiously laid on tho oenter-table of the great pub lisher’s drawing-room, and Murray was very proud of the gift. At a large party at iiia house, one evening, a friend was turning over the leaves of the magnifi cent Bible, when ho suddenly cried: "Why, Murray, come here 1 Byron has been altering the Bible." Baying this, be pointed out to tho astonished and in dignant publisher that Byron had al tered a verso by drawing his pen through the word “ robber” and substituting an other word, so that tho verso ran thus: “ Now Barabbas was a publisher.” After that unlucky discovery the book disap* "“ared.—Thomas PowelL hooting into Bivalvutar Anatomy—Jlotoan Oyster Feeds and Maintains Itself. [From the Baltimore Gisette.] Every oyster has a month, a heart, a liver, a stomach, cunningly devised in testines, and other necessary organs, just os all living, moving, intelligent creatures have. And all these things are covered from men’s rudely inquisi tive gaze by a mantle of pearly gauze, whose woof and war;) put to shame the frost lace on your windows in winter. The mouth is at tho smaller end of the oyster, adjoining the hinge. It is of oval shape, and, though not readily seen by an inexperienced eye, its loention and size enn be easily discovered by gently pushing a blunt bodkin or similar instru ment along tho surface mentioned. When the spot is found, your bodkin can be thrust between the delicate lips and a considerable distance .down toward the stomach without causing the oyster to yell with pain. From this mouth is, of course, a sort of canal to convey the food to the stomach, whence it passes into the intestines. With an exceedingly delicate and sharp knife yon can take ofl the “ mantle” of the oyster, when there will be disclosed to you a half-moon shaped space just above the muscle, or so-called “ heart.” This space is the oyster's pericardium, and within it is the real heart, the pulsations of which are readily seen. The heart is made np of two parts, just as the human heart is, one of which receives the blood from the gills through a network of blood vessels, and the other drives the blood out through arteries. In this important matter the oyster differs in no respect from other warm or cold-blooded ani mals. And no one need laugh incredu lously at tho assertion that oysters have blood. It is not ruddy, according to the accepted notion about bloo l, but it is nevertheless blood to all oyster intents and purposes. In the same vicinity, and in marvelously propor posi tions, will be found all the other organs named. But it is very proper to be incredulous about that mouth and or gans. At first glance it would seem that they are utterly useless, tor the mouth oonuot snap around for food, and the oyster has no arms wherewith to grab its dinner or lonoh. True, apparently, but only apparently, for each oyster has more than a thousand arms—tiny, deli cate, almost invisible. And each one of them is inoesaantly at work gathering up food and gently pushing tt into the lazy month of the indolent, comfortable creature. The gills are the thin flaps so notably perceptible around the front- (nee port of tho undressed oyster, below riio muscle. Each o( those gills is cov ered with minute, huir-like arms, very close together, and perjietually in mo tion, to and fro, in the same direction. They witch food from the water, strain il carefully of improper substances, and vrnft it upward over the mantle’s smooth surface to tho gaping mouth, which placidly gobbles- it up until hunger is appeased and then the body goes to sleep without turuiug over. Anyone cm observe this singular process of feeding by placing a minute quantity of >ouio harmless coloring matter on the gills. If it will not offend the oyster's delicate palate the coloring mutter will be Been at once propelled by invisible hands toward the mouth and them* slowly down into the stomach. Ant this is all I kuow about oyster anatomy, except that the liver almost entirelysar- rounds tho stomach, aud is of a dark green color. It may bo new to many tc kuow that oysters ore born precisely tho same way the shad aud other fish oom. into the world.
