You inib nine hills, and turn ninety corners tore you get within hailing distance of ?ncs again. The streets look as if they had been made mewhere else, and dumped here in a huge ngle, and nobody had never taken the nible to straighten them out again. It >ka as if somebody had been building a j of cities by contract, and the job hadn't mc out oven, and he had thrown down s remnants of streets and odd ends of alfs, and little snipped off bits of lanes and cnucs, and called it Boston, if any *eet in the town should be cut a straight ile in any direction, it would go through lozen private parlors and forty-live public tisic halls. In fact Boston looks as if c first-rate material for an excellent city fl been melted and poured through a scive a hill side and left to cool. Jdiots.?Idiocy is arrested develop;nt.

Have hurt my house, perchance, but help d my heart. Always Finding Fault.?There are certain people who canuot live without finding fault. No matter what subject, or person conies up in the course of couvcreation, they start some frivolous objection, or make some censorious remark. Instead of trying to be in charity with their uoighbors, they take malicious pleasure in speakiug evil about them. They obstinately shut their eyes to good qualities; while thov employ microscopes to discover and magnify evil ones; aud afterwards they torture language to exaggerate what they have seen, so as to depreciate as much as possible. They do not, however, always speak out boldly. But they deal in inuendoes, in hints, and in ominious shakes of the head. Instead of frankly assailing in front, they assassinate behind the back. Practically, they persuade others that all men arc so evil, that there is not even a chance of reform. Even in acts incontestibly Rood, they pretend to find latent.selfishness. They spend their lives in defiling human nature, like the foul Yahoos whom the satirist. has depicted. To believe them, there are none virtuous but themselves ; all the rest of mankind being knaves, brutes or devils. The proverbial fault finder little fitSnlra that, in censuring so maliciously and indiscriminately, lie is only painting his own portrait. It is a secvct consciousness of his demerits, a gnawing rage at. the superiority of others, which is the real cause of his want of charity, the principal inducement to his abuse. 1 lis own heart is the mirror from which he describes mankind. The best men have been those invariably who spoke tlie most kindly of their race. The groat type of all manhood, whose perfect humanity is the admiration even of Pagans and Atheists, never spoke in benignant terms, having charity even for "publicans and sinners." It is to his precept that we owe the great doctrine of human brotherhood. In the ideal of the fallen Lucifer, we have, on the contrary, the incarnation of malice, hate, slander, ill-will and evil speaking. As the one is said to have come to bring "peace and good-will to men," so the other first defiled the fair creation with strife, and sowed "war among the hosts of heaven." We never hear a professed faultfinder, but our thoughts recur to his type. We never listen to the beneficent language of one who is in charity with his race, without ..-i : ? ' vmv iwiiii^ bnuv iiu 10 ciuvuiiuiii^ mwiu aim more to "the perfect mau." Nkw Mill.?We learn that a gentleman from Columbia has recently purchased a lot near the spot selected for the depot of the Blue 11. Railroad, and intends to erect thereon, in a short time, a Steam Flour and Ovist Mill. Our District has long needed -;om -thing of the kind, and we believe that the enterprising owner of such a mill will be amply compensated for tlv risk and expense of it? erection. The large quantity of wheat now in the District is more than can be ground for months to come by the mills now in operation. Hut a few days ago we were informed by the owner of a mill about six miles from this place, that persons were hauling wheat to his mill from all parts of the District, and that in ' i-ny cases they had to take it away, owing to the fact that they could not hope to got it ground in a reasonable time. A good steam mill would soon remedy this state of things, and we hoj>e soon to seo it in operation.?Anderson Carolinian. Oysters.?The process by which oysters make their shells is a singular phenomenon in natural science. A London oystcrman can tell the ago of his flock to a nicety. The age of this bivalve is not to be found out by looking into his mouth.? It bears its years upon its back. Everybody who has handled an oyster shell must have observed that it seemed as if compos ed of successive layers or plates overlapping each other. These are technically called "shoots," and each of them make a year's fTmVfll ?n Krr it *!?/%%?% ! r> > ? "j mu u when the creature came into tho world can at once be determined. Hp to the time ot' its maturity, the shoots avo regular and succcsflive, but after that time they become irregular, and are piled one over the other, ho that the shell becomes more thickened and bulky. Judging from the great thickness to which oyster shells have attained, this mollusc is capable, if left to its natural changes unmolested, of attaining a patriarchal longevity.
