Mnny years ngo , a frocklcd-fnccd , rod-
mired , round-shouldorcd Vermont boy ,
St yours old , wns employed na n driver
n n horso-cnr in Albany. Living not far
rom the corner of StatoandEixglo streets
vaa a IC-ycar-old , bewitching maiden ,
who was ono of hia passengers nlmoat
laily. Wo will call her Louise Ilobbins.
? his driver , whom wo will namp Henry
klartin , in order to concca his identity ,
hough far from prepossessing in appear-
unco , had aa tender a heart under his
rough exterior , and far more genuine
manliness that the majority of iho city
swells who paraded state street then just
as the dude docs to-day
But Miss Louse thought tlio young car-
driver the most awkward and tincoutli
specimen of man flesh nlio had over sol
lior soft , laughing black eyes upon. She
drew hia portrait and presented it to a
lady friend , and labeled it "Tho lied
Rose , or the Horse-Car Heater. " Many
were the jokes she and her associates por-
portratcd on poor , inoUbnsivo Henry
Martin , and ho was not so stupid as not
tokmwit. Yet , unnatural as it may
seem , the moro nho ridiculed him the
fonder ho grow of Miss Louis ; for the
awkward youth , while fully realizing the
great gulf between their social stations
could not help worshiping the ground oho
trod on. Ho know how preposterous it
was for a car-driver to cherish affection
for the daughter of so wealthy an Alba
nian , yet her imago was over before him
though ho struggled hard to destroy his
mad love. Ho ascertained her name by
watching the store packages sent to her
homo , nnd un old diary still in his posses
sion shows the name of Louiao Ilobbim
on every page.
Hifl letters to hia widowed mother in
Vermont at that time were filled will
glowing descriptions of a dark-eyed schoo
girl whom ho thought the prettiest am
dearest lady in all the land and to tha
mother , the only person in the work
who know the value of his noble heart
ho told the story of his silent worship o
Miss Louise. Sensible mother that shi
was , she warned him of his folly , whicl
must end only in bitter disappointment
At last there came a day when Louise
was his only passenger. With a torn
post in Ilia soul and tears streaming down
his face , ho stammered out the declaration
tion that she was an nugol , that ho know
ho had no right to talk to her so , "bu
oh , Mios Ilobbins , if you know how . '
love you ; you _ would not blame mo , for . '
can't help it. " Louisa did not scream ergot
got frightened ; she only laughed | n Ills
Ace , and said : ' * You got back to that
horse or ho will run away and kill us
both , and don't you dare act like a fee
again. " Notwithstanding Louiao was
still in her teens , she had listened sev
eral timoa to the tearful entreaties o :
fashionable old and young men , who nol
only knovr that she was a fascinating
creature , but were surely aware that she
was the only daughter of a very wealthy
gentleman. She had told them all tha
they were very kind and she would al
ways bo their dear friend , sister , cousin
or anything but their wife. But poor
Honrv , with his fiery head , weather
beaten face , big hands .rod am
chapped , did not quito fail in touching
a tender place in her heart , and when slu
had gone to bed that night , though she
laughed almost hysterically when she
thought of the car-driver's ludicrous performance
formanco , there came the convictionhoro
is a genuine man , the only ono of my admirers
mirors who means what ho says , and foi
the first time nho pitied man. Then she
grow angry with him for his audacity
called her father to her and told him o
the incident , but when the angry fatho :
said ho would have him discharged ant
fired out of town the next day.sho pleaded
od that ho was a poor , simple follow , am
that ho did not mean to do anythin ]
wrong. But the father was obdurate
and the following day Henry was no
surprised when ho was not only discharge !
by the company , but was warned to loav
the city. The newspapers stated that th
"blear-eyed , rod-headed Henry Martin
had made indecent proposals to an unprotected
toctod young passenger in a horse-car
and that ho deserved to bo lynched. " A
night ho crept near the abode of Louise
that ho might possibly have ono mor
glimpse of herwhen a policeman arrostec
him as a suspicious character , nnd ho was
taken to the look-up. While there , a
messenger brought n tiny envelope con
taining little bunch of
a forgct-mo-nots
and n half shoot of paper , on which wor
these words : "I know you meant m
harm. I don't love you , and I don't Wi
any man. Flcaso go away and not cotm
back for ton years , L. II. "
To most young mon this would no
have boon a very cheering letter , but to
Henry it scorned the very gate to Uoa
von ,
Next day ho was liberated on tin
promise that ho would leave the city. I
had taken all of the earnings to supper
his mother , who was an invalid. Thi
street railroad owed him only $5 , whicl
was all the money ho had in the world
With $4 of it ho bought a bouquet urn
sent it to Louiso. In the center of it
on a piece of brown paper , were these
words : "I shall return ton years fron
yesterday. My hair may change but in ;
heart never. 1 shall think of you over ]
hour and pray for you each night
Freckles. " Ho found a man who was
shipping a blooded horse to Chicago , am
by taking care of the animal Henry was
allowed free passage to that city. Whoi
ho arrived in Chicago ho had only ton
centa. Ho spent live cents in a stam ;
and stationery and wrote to his mother
There was no despondency in that letter
Ho got a job in a livery stable that da ;
at coed wages.
Within a few days a horeo was atoloi
from the stable and Henry was arrosto
on suspicion of being an accomplico. Hi
lay iu jail ton days , when ho was liberated
atod for lack of evidence just as ho was
coming down with the brain fever. Hi
was tent to tbo city hospital , whore fo
two weeks ho wan delirious. His attendant
dant noticed a strong cord about hi
neck , to which was attached a powte :
locket , in which was a bunch of driec
forgot-mo-nots. Ho was n moro shadow
of his former self when ho regained con
uciouBiiess. A kind hoarttd clorgymai
became an interested and frequent visitoi
to him , loaned him books to read , ant
when ho became strong enough took
Henry to his homo. The rod hair ol
Henry all came out , and when it gran
again it WM a dark auburn color , and
the freckles never returned.
The clergyman needed a man uboul

must bo brief in this romance from
real lifo. In less than two years Henry
Martin , thanks to the benevolent clergy
man , was in Harvard college. In sir
years from the time ho loft Albany ho
was a minister of the gospel.
At .the end of eight years ho was pastor

alary nf ? 0,000 a year , and ho had $ & , -

is ho kissed his whito-haired mother
ood-by , ho said : "Tho ton years are
icarly gono. I can surely find her , nnd
will telegraph the result God help mo. "
? 'ivo years nftor 11 onry had loft Albany
here came n great finanjial panic and
Bobbins1 father became bank-
upt.
Almost penniless , lie and his daughter
removed to Now York , where ho became
a book-keeper for a contloman whom ho
once employed in his store in Albany ,
The father and daughter lived in a modest -
est way in an up-town flat.
Mr. Ilobbins never reproached Louise
_ 'or anything , except that she was such a
recluse from society and would allow no
attention from any gentlemen. Ho could
sco no beauty in an old , dried bouquet
which Louise always kept in her room ,
which she brought with nor from Albany.
Ho sometimes had fears lest she waa los
ing her mind , for in her sloop she waa
continually muttering something that
sounded like Henry Martin. Ono day
he said to her : "Who is Henry Martin ?
I never know any Henry Martin , except
the vagabond who insulted you in an
Albany horse-car. " Louise turned palo
but made no reply.
Can the reader guess why , as the ton
years had nearly passed since she wrote
that note to tlio car-driver , she appeared
absent-minded , was startledby _ any noise ;
that she took extra pains in crimping her
hair and making herself aa attractive as
possible.
She had not had ono word from Henry
Martin since ho loft Albany , and did not
know whether ho was dead or alivo. She
had frequently read notices of the talent
ed young preacher of the same name who
had created such a furore in Chicago , but
she never mistrusted that ho was the ono
whoso return she longed and prayed for ,
Ono afternoon there came a koock at her
door , which she answered , and ushered
him into their little parlor as ho inquired
for her father , who would bo in shortly ,
Louisa is startled by something in this
stranger which reminds her of Ho.ury
Martin.
She almost stares at him to BOO if it is
possible that ho is a relative of the car-
driver's. No , she says to herself , it can
not bo. What a magnificent bearing this
gentleman has. Ho is the picture of
health. His dark , auburn hair is brushed
back from a high , classical forehead. Ho
is tall and thin , but is very erect , anc
lias square shoulders. His voice is-donp
and mellow , and though his eyes are
piercing , there is an oxpession on his face
as tender as a woman's. In a calm , dig
nified way , the stranger inquires : "Did
you over know a car-driver by the name
of Henry Martini" Before she coult
answer the tears , involuntarily filled her
oyea.

her and says : "It is now 4 o'clock ; ton
years ago at this very hour , Henry Mar

Before ho can finish the sentence she has
her arm about his nock , and says :
know you would return to moj"
When the Rev. Dr. Martin returnee
from his vacation ho brought his wiio
with him , and to-day in a city still further
west , whom ho is the leading clergyman ,
ho shows mo a pretty locket containing
some dried flowers , which ho says wore
forgot-mo-nots , and introduces mo to his
wife , ono of the loveliest ladies I have

The Detroit Free Press says 'hut there
was to have boon a suit for assault and [
battery before ono of the justices in the _ t
temple yesterday. A farmer down 'in
ipringwolls was charged with having
slapped the jaws of his neighbor , and
; wo wagon loads of witnesses were on
liand to swear to this and that. Both
> lalntiT ( and defendant seemed to bo do-
ermiued men , and their respective wives of
at and glared at each other like two old '
cats. Borne of the necetsary formalities
vere being worked up when , all of a sud
den , the wife of the complainant was
taken with the toothache. It wasn't the
kind which growls and mutters find fools
around , but the old fashioned , jumping
ache , nnd in two minutes she wia crying.
Her tears nt once agcrtod the wife of the
defendant , nnd nf tor n little she slid over
and whispered :
"Poor thing I'm sorry ! "
"Oh | suh nn ache ! " sobbed the vie-
int."Oh

"J bfoUghl aioiig 5om6p6pioniiintand )

"What's all this"askcd ? the plaintiff , ns

'Why , your poor wife is sufToring tor-

"Who's got the toothache ? " inquired

"Gorogol but that's too bad ! Sha'n't I

At this the plaintiff turned about , hold

A OU1UOUH 1NDUST11V ,
Hearing Ojstors from Artificially Fcr
tlll/.cd
The French were the first to carry oul
successfully with the oyster tlio system ol
artificial fertilization that has forsovoral
years been BO successfully practiced with
the salmon and sonio other food fishes.
This artificial method was rendered by
M. Brandoly a practical financial lacccss ,
and hit success was for some tiiio tlio
envy of American oyster oxporimpntors.
The fact that tlio Portuguese oyster is not
tlio same species as that of this country
rendered it uncertain whether tuccess
would attend American efforts. Juring
the summer of this year the quostiin lias
been answered in the affirmative , tor M.
J. A. Ryder reports that young oysters
have actually been reared from artiicially
fertilised eggs.
The experiment was carried out in a
pond excavated for the purpose h the
salt marsh on the Chincotoauga bay ,
Maryland , at the oyster beds of Messrs.
Pierce and Shopard. The pond Ind an
area of some fifty square yards , and wac
connected with the bay by a short cana'
about two foot wide and throe and a hall
deep , or the same depth as the pond. In
this canal a porous diaphragm was { laced ,
through which all the water that entered
the pond was filtered. Some of tie oys
ters , the spawn and milt of whicl were
used , were taken from shallow1 water
near the pond , others from the 'deeper
water of the bay. The sexes of the oys
ters were distinguished apart by whal
Mr. Ryder calls the "drop test'which
consists simply in dropping the spawn
from a pipette into a dish of clean sea
water , and watching the kind of cloud il
makes as it descends. If the spociraei
is a female the spawn breaks up into i
granular cloud , which , if the vessel is
held up so as to look down through i
on to a dark ground below , can bo seen
to bo composed of very minute whitish
bodies the eggs or ova. If the specimen
mon is a male the drop of milt does no
break up in this way , but if stirred in
the water breaks up into wisps am
streaks. The difference in appearance
is such that a novice can in ono
lesson learn to distinguish tin
soxos. The spawn is removed by firs
opening the oyster and taking away tin
right valve of the shell. The spawn is
then pressed out of the gonora'tivo or
gans by gently stroking a pipette eve :
the glund and along the course of thi
ducts leading out of thorn , thus forcing
the spawn intojthoupper gill-cliamborbo (
twcon thn folds of the mautlo ) . The mil
and the eggs thus procured were placec
in n small dishthoroughly stirred together
or , aud poured from time to time , as tin
water became milky , into a wooden pail
When it was believed that the water in
the pail contained a sufficient amount o
spawn , it was poured into the pond a
several different points , so as to distrbuto
it as much as possible. The artifliciallj
fertilized eggs -vroro thus introducet
every two or throe days. The pail was
allowed < / > stand from three to five hours
before its contents were poured into the
pond , in order to enable the ova to do
volopo into freO'Bwimmint * embryos the
second stage of oyster life. It was foarec
that the water in the pond , exposed to
the midday sun , would rise to a temperature
aturo aboro that of the bay , and also tha
it would become loss salt and of less spo
cifie gravity in consequence o :
the leeching of fresh water
from the banks of the pond , but
neither of these drawbacks took place.
Another question of importance was the
presence or absence in the pond of orga
nisms that would servo as food for the
oystsr-enaf. A distinctly greonish-browii
tint was noticed in the water directly
after the screen had been placed in the
canal , and microscopical examination
showed this to consist of diatoms aud
other minute plants. Multitudes of tiny
monads , with long tlagella , were also
found to collect on chips and other lighl
objects on the surface during midday.
For the attachment of the spat "col-
lectors , " consisting of stakes to which
oyster-shells were strung with galvanized
iron wire , were driven into the bottom of
the pond in considerable ) numbers. The
trst of thoao were nut iu on July 7 , the
Minoilay when the first spawn was poured
in , and others were added at intervals.
Having thus made euro of the admixture
of ova aud milt , of the condition of the
water and of the food supply , results were
awaited with interest. On the 22d day
of August , forty-six days after the begin
ning of tlio experiment , Mr. Pierce sent
by mail to Mr. Ryder a series of shells
taken from the collectors , show-in" oyster
4'spat , " from ono-fourtli to threo-fourths [
of an inch in diameter , attached to them.
As the screen interposed betweow the
pond and the bay consisted of pierced
) oards lined with sacking , and separated
> y a filter of two inches of sand , this spat
was certainly the produce of the fertilized
ova introduced , as it could not como from
ho bay.
Ono of the diflicnlticsmet with was the
icoumulatioii of slime and ooto , consist-
ng largely of bacteria , OR the surface of
the collectors. These bacteria consti-
ute a portion of the food of the young
yster , but , when , , iu largo quantity ,
mother the infant oyster when not more

tion ponda of "inclosed areas of water on

oyster planting. Such ppncfo WU.W b.o.
protected from poachers , And oysters
k opl in them would fatten for market
earlier than those planted in thg Open
waters , , and would also bo motft readily
kccossiblo. Oysters so fed Wbuld probnb-
cy bo , like most oyster * found in more or
ess confined wntcrs > green-gilded from
llpi 0ll abundance of green microscopic
iknts swallowed by them. Such green-
; ildcd oysters tire in England nnd Franco
estoemcd more highly than white-fleshed
ones , b\\t \ in this country , owing to an ill-
otmdcd belief that the color is duo to
.ho presence of copper , they are held in
great disfavor. It is , however , said that
nt Norfolk , Va. , green-gilded oysters
nro worth five cents per quart more than
whitofishcd ones. Upright collectors of
mish , or of stakes with shells strung
upon them , arc better than anything
> lftccd upon the bottom for the purpose ,
since they do not become covered with
) ozo or mud , and tlio tide tends constant-
y to sweep off such sediment ns may col-
oct. The sot of spat on planted shells ,
nnd on all kinds of objects in the wntor ,
seems to have been unusually largo dur
ing the post summer. It is n mistake to
suppose that a rough , Jagged surface is
necessary for the attachment of young
oysters. The great need is that the sur
face should remain clean long enough to
illow the oyster to become sufficiently
largo to in some measure take care ol
itself. _ The young oyster probably at
taches itself within twenty-four to forty-
eight hours after the eggs have boon
fertilized , and the larval shell is symmo
trical.
trical.Mr. . Ryder considers that the actim'
success of artificial fertilization is less im
portant 1 than the proof afforded by this
experiment , that : First , oysters may bo
grown in inclosed ponds ; second , thai
such ponds may contain an abundance ol
food , nnd , third , that the tide can bo de
pended upon to renew the waters of such
ponds. The collection of natural spat by
collectors of brush , shells , otc. , will prob
ably continue cheaper than artificial
modes. Examination made of the con
tents of the stomachs of oysters at Chin-
coteagoo bayshowed the presence of oys
tor eggs , young oysters from 1-uOO to
1-200 of an inch in diameter , diatomstho
youngest stages of barnacles , and the
shell ? of a singular infusoaian of the go-
mis Tintinnus. Thus adult oysters arc
to seine extent destructive of their ol
their own species. Probably the free
swimming minute plants called diatoms
are the most important clement in the
food of the oystor.
KESOUEO FK03I DEATH.
