An American student at German Uni
versity, writes home: ga German bed is
always single bed-in the cases where
Providence has blessed man with wife,
the same custom is adhered to, and the
single beds are drawn lovingly side by
side" The same writer says: 81 verify

we were asked by an intelli gent lady, if i,
was safe travelling in the part of our
country from which we came, on account
of the Indians. An American friend, who
is sojourning in country town. at some
distance from here, writes that the country
people exclaimed, on seeing him, "Why,
is he an American? he is as white as any
of US. Speaking of'music, he adds, 'for
three cents you can at any time hear a
better concert than you can hear in Amer

OF Mark, says a sensible writer, the
laboring man, who breakfasts at six, and
then walks perhaps two or three miles to
his work He is full in health, and a
stranger to doctors. Mark, on the other
hand, your clerk, who takes tea and toast
at night, and gets down to the store at
nine, or half past. He is pale, effemi-
nate creature, full of sarsa parilla. and
patent worm medicine, and pills and
things. What pity it is that this class Of
people do not lay down the yard. stick and
the scissors, and take up the scythe or
the fail for year or two. By remaining
in their present occupation, they only help
to fill up cemeteries, and that's about as
miserable use Of humanity as you can
name. @
