LET US BE QUIET.
Let us be quiet! What Is there to gain
By fret and worry in this fleeting life?
Alas, for all the self-inflicted painl
Alas for all the self-invited strife!
Let us be quiet I Winds and waters wage
In vain the fiercest conflict ever known;
They cannot reach a star, howe'er they rage,
Nor touch the base of God'a eternal throne.
Let us be quiet when our foes conspire
To do us evil or to thwart our good;
When friends charge 111 to all our right desire
And beat of motives are misunderstood.
Let us be quiet whenYhe ghosts arise
Those phantom creatures of night't fevered
brain;
They fly v. hen morning's sun Illumes the skies,
And we behold the world in light again.
Let us be quletl Passing years shall prove
Purpose divine upon our welfare bent;
True wisdom, hand In hand with deepest love,
Works out for us the will omnipotent.

LUCK OF THE ATKINSES.
BY MARGARET B. YF.ATES.
through the little town, and created a I
variety of emotions. A few skeptical j
souls pretended not to believe it, but
they were in a hopeless minority, and
the subject was discussed in all its
bearings. The Atkinses had suddenly,
and by no effort of their own, become
very important citizens. Mrs. Smith,
the wife of one of the ministers, told
the ladies in the sewing society
that she thought it a shame that none
of them ever went to see the Atkinses.
"They've got souls to save if they air
pore," she added, judiciously overlook
ing the fact that report said they were
no longer beggars. Mrs. Kelly, the
lady who had avowed her intention of
never helping them again, looked quite
abashed, and secretly resolved to send
Mrs. Atkins a pitcher ot buttermilk
that very evening.
Next morning Mrs. Atkins herself

"Bleached oysters" is the latest and

uptown restaurants are catering to it.
An oyster that does not peer forth
snowy white from the depth of its shell
is considered bad form. It does not

Nobody ever was poorer than the At
kinses, or, in common parlance, any
more "shif'less." The family consisted
of the old man, Hill by name, a half
blind, decrepit creature, who yet pos
sessed a share of quaint humor; his
wife, Lou-i-sy, a lazy, ragged old
woman, who had grown fat on nothing
and who managed to keep her snuff
box full even when the coffee-pot was
empty, and five or six lank, sallow
boys and girls in various stages of age
and dirtiness. They occupied a small
log house on the outskirts of a town in
the mountains of Arkansas, and their
dwelling was remarkable only for its
simplicity. It consisted of a single
room which the entire family occupied
without regard to age or sex; the fire
place furnished at once heat, light and
the means of cooking their scanty
food. Three wretched beds, a broken
chair or two, a box which served
as a table, a frying-pan, spider
and coffee pot, with a few' broken dish
es, composed the entire wealth of the
Atkins family, for their house was the
property of a well-to-do citizen who
let them live there for very pity. It
was quite prosperous, this inland Ar
kansas town, though fifty rough and
rocky miles from the nearest railroad;
it was considered by the country folk
around a dashing, stylish place. The
ladies there never went barefooted,
even in the hottest weather, and sun
bonnets were long since out of date.
The men, too, wore store clothes, and
some of them wore their coats to meet
ing during the summer; but this inno
vation was by no means popular. It
was a gossipy little community, as an
isolated place must be, and its church
and political factions managed to keep
things from stagnating. I5ut the whole
town was united upon one thing in
heartily condemning the Atkinses.
Even the Methodists and the Campbell-
ites agreeil on that, and they did not
often agree upon anything, for the
Campbellites had affirmed that they
could Hintr louder and faster than the
Methodists, and the boast had caused
considerable ill feeling.
The town had to support the Atkins
es, so surely it had the right to disap
prove of them, but the disapproval was
rather out of proportion to the aid they
furnished, and. hud the position been
reversed, the Atkinses would have had
more to eat. One lady in the town had
declared Hint she would never help

entirely unaware of the rumor that
was abroad. She entered the place
rather timidly and in a very apologetic
tone asked for a pound of bacon, a lit
tle coffee and a box of snuff, adding, as j
was her invariable rule, that she would
pay for the things as soon as "berries
gits ripe." As Mrs. Atkins had made
this same promise every time she had
entered the store, there was no reason
why it should have particularly im
pressed Mr. Johnson; yet he seemed de
lighted, and hastily produced the things
she wished, but in much more generous
quantities. "How would you like a nice
ham?" he asked, holding up the article
in question. Mrs. Atkins hesitated.
She was as honest as her limited
means would permit, so she shook her
head, saying he would get tired of
waiting for his pay. "No, indeed," he
insisted; "take your own time to pay
for it. I don't mind waiting a bit on a
good customer." Thus urged, Mrs.
Atkins took the ham, and added several
unaccustomed luxuries to her list. He
would not allow her to carry the
things, but sent them in his delivery
wagon, and gave her at parting a po
lite "call again." Mrs. Atkins went
home in a truly astonished state of
mind, related her remarkable adven
ture to the old man and the children.
and wound up by declaring that "Jim
Johnson's been converted, and I know
it, else he never would have did it."
The Atkinses enjoyed a square meal
that morning, the first in many a
iverv day.
The two churcnes tnere were oniy
two in the town seemed to vie with
each other in paying delicate atten
tions to the hitherto neglected family.
To be just, the two ministers and their
wives had endeavored to induce the
Atkinses to "join the church," but
their efforts had not been crowned
with success, largely, it seemed, be
cause Mrs. Atkins and Manuy, tne
oldest girl, had "nothin' to wear."
But now the other ladies of the church
developed a sudden interest in the
matter, and upon receiving the usual
reply one of them boldly asked:
ell. why don t you git a dress at
lioothby's? He'll wait till you git the
money." Mrs. Atkins, who wusgetting
a little accustorced to her unexpected
turn of good luck, plucked up heart
to go to lioothby's, the largest "dry
goods and general merchandise'' store
in the place, and, though somewhat un
certain of her reception, managed to
express a desire for a certain purple
calico toward which her heart hud in
clined, but which she hud never
dreamed of possessing. Mr. Jioothby
was most affable; certainly sh could
have the goods, and anything else she
wished. A pink calico for Mandy
was added, and the euterprising mer
chant succeeded in pressing upon the
bewildered woman various articles of
adornment entirely unsuitable to her,
but of which he hud found some trouble
in disposing.
Thus it went on. Mandy and her
mother liecame regular church gwrs,
arrayed in their elegant new euliua's.
and even the old mail had a new suit
of "store clothes" sold him on time
and somewhat against hin will by an
accommodating merchant of the town.
In vain the Atkinses protested that
they did not know when they could
pay for all these luxuries; these gen
erous friends smilingly waved aside
all such scruples and protested that
they were perfectly willing to wait.
Thus the winter passed, the Atkinses
daily growing In favor. It had Wen a
hard season, but, thanks to the Indul
gence of their now numerous friends,
they fared well, ami the oldest laiy hud
n position that enabled him to cam a
little.
Spring came, and with It the pen
sion officer came to the town again.
He stopped at Johnson's store one da
to purchase some rignra, and thai
smiling mere hunt look occusion to
question him a little. "When is ole
Hill Atkins goln' to gvi his pcnalou'.'"
lie asked.
"Atkliis-Itlll Atkins? I don't re

has nothing to do llh his war srrviee.

wor Id is destroved entirely. Uut they
are said by self-constituted authori
tites to look better, and it is the
fashion to have them served that way.
The course of treatment to which
the luscious shellfish is subjected to
bringo about the pale and ghostly hue
is the secret of the restaurant men.
The wholesale oyster dealers know
nothing about it. '
A reporter for the New York World
went aboard a floating warehouse, on
the North river, the other day, and
made an inquiry as to the best method
of blanching oysters. It was apparent
that oystermen do not relish the news
paper notoriety which has been thrust
upon the innocent and inoltensive
shellfish.
"If 1 could meet the man who start
ed all this talk about typhoid fever and
malaria in oysters," said one old salt,
"I'd chuck him in ths bay and hit him
on the head with a boathook when he
came up the first time, and there
wouldn't be no second time.
"As if it ain't bad enough that this
has been one of the worst oyster years
we ever had, but ou top of that some
crazy fool up in Connecticut tries to
fatten his oysters in a creek into yvhich
a sewer empties. What's the result? A
lot of college students and professors
pet sick and four of them die. What
follows? The newspapers publish it
all over the country, typhoid fever in
oysters, and the bnsiness is almost par
alyzed in some places. Forty million
people eating oysters and four of them
get sick and die! How many people
die every day from eating pork and
beef, yet does that scare anybody?
No, sir.
"Now, on top of all this, some fool
restaurant men go to making their
oysters white, which God never intend
ed they should be, or He would have
made 'em so. I don't suppose that the
oysters were hurt any by if but some
fellow gets sick, after knocking about
the Tenderloin all night, and remem
bers that he ate a dozen bleached oy-1
sters, and then he hollers that he has
been poisoned.
"Some one writes to a newspaper
that sulphate of zinc will bleach an
oyster. I don't know whether it will
or not, but a chemist told me that it
would not. But the oyster trade gets
it, in the neck all the same. Thank
grxidness that these stories did not get
out two months ago, or the oystermen
would all be in the hands of the asso
ciated charities. Our season is over for
cheap oysters, in which the money is
made. Nothing goes out of New York
now but shell oysters, New York
counts, and culls. The oyster business
after the middle of November goes to
Baltimore. There are no oyster can.
nerics in New York.
"This fail for white oysters I never
heard of before this year. There are
no pure white oysters. The oyster
takes his color from his surroundings
and an old oysterman can tell at a
glance which one of the Wds herea-
bouts an oyster comes from. The Blue
l'oint is often silvery in appearance
'there is no way that I know of to make
un oyster white
"When the weather is not too cold

on flouts for from twelve to twenty
four hours in brackish water, generally
near the mouth of a lresh-water creek
This water they will drink freely rind

and mud that inur have Wen taken in.
I know every oyster Iwd In New York
bay, Long Island sound, or the rivers
of New Jersey, mid I know of no oyster

IVrsoiuilly, 1 would let such alone If
offered me.
"Nature cannot v Improved upon In
the matter of the oyster, except to give
It a chance to wash out and fatten np

oysters are unnatural and artificial
