his manhood, may be constantly traced i'll his
correspondence These letters are neverthe-
less full of facts and interesting revelations con
nectcd with the life Of Beethoven, as well as
with many other prominent personages of his
time. The letters are simple and unconstrain-
ed, often revealing the deficiencies resulting
from imperfect early culture, but showing SO far
as they do indicate the thoughts and emotions of
the writer, character gentle, generous and
noble, the farthest possible removed from the
harshness which has often been attributed to
him; and they breathe spirit of kindness and
devotion to friends, love of country and OF
art, and apatient endurance of suffering which
compel the warmest sympathics of the reader
10 the ever increasing class of those who love
| the works and revere the genius of the great
composer these letters will be especially well
come, for the light they throw ON many misun
derstood circumstances of his life and upon the
origin and significance of many of his compo
stions The publishers have issued them il

and fac-simile of one of his works with which
they are adorned will enhance their interes

ESSAYS ON ART. By Francis Turner Pal
grave, Late Fellow of Exeter College, Ok
ford. 16mo. PIP. 800. New York: Hurd &
Houghton. (Sold by Short & Loring.) Price
$1,75.
Most of the essays contained in this volume
have already appeared in the London Saturday
ReUieso, and other English periodicals, but they
will nevertheless be new to the mass of Ameri-
can readers. They have been very minute ly
revised, and in some cases rewritten for the
purposes of the present collection. Mr.. Pal
grave is not commonplace or shallow critic
His perceptions are clear and delicate, his taste
accurate, and his conception of the proper prin-
ciple and functions of criticism just and sound.
The first three of these essays, relating to the
Royal Academy Exhibitions, will have no spec
ial interest for many readers in this country,
but the papers ON Mulready, Holman Hunt,
George Cruikshank, Thorwaldsen, Hyppolyte
Flandrin, Japanese Art" Sensational AR"
Poetry and Prose in Art" Sculpture and
Painting" "rhe Farnese Marbles" "Thackeray
in the Abbey" and others, will claim attention
both by their subjects and by the manner in
which these subjects are treated. The chapter
ou Poetry and Prose in Art, and that ON "The
Tosltion Oh sculpture III FSugiaiiu, are as true
here as they can be in the latter country; and
we most devOutly wish they could be studied
and laid 10 heart by all Congressman who
have "A voice in the spending of the public
monies ON "N ationai" paintings and statues, and
by all the members of the innumcrable "mon-
ument committees" who are so busily furnish
ing our various towns and cities with the
frightful abortions of fifth-rate artists. Mr..
Palgraye says, and says well: "Sculptors of
high calibre IL is true, viii always be rare; that
a nation should have one or two such, is matter
for fair pride; but the moral is, such should do
our acOrk, or ice should iedCe Il uninterrupted. II
a monument of high quality he. required, il is
suicidal to give it to any bat those few who
can put true poetic life into it," Unfortunate
ly for us, such men as these, the true artists,
are as modest as they are rare, and seldom have
any talent tor pushing themselves before the
public. They are thinking of art, not Of how
to gain influence in Hobbies and among smart
business men, and often the world is loser
thereby. II is the business of the public TO see
and Judge between the false and the true; and
such books as the present are invaluable in
to our knowledge of the true
principles Of taste and Judgment in matters of
art.

DIuscat Perle and Iaygeinic Wine.-These
desirable and valuable wines have, glad say,
made their appearance in city, and having exam
ined them ourselves, we can speak nderstandingly
of their excellence |
H The MUsCAT PERLE Isl very rich and delicious
wine especially adapted for ladies' and certainly
passes any table wine in the country. si-.E
As Communion wine it stands unrivalled, and
churches would do well to examine it for Sacramental
purposes. Purity, delicacy of flavor and mildness,
are all combined in Muscat Perle.
The HYGIENIc WINE has been submitted to num-
ber of our most eminent Physicians and they strongly
recommend it as tonic of rare virtue. -
The purity of these wines be relied on and their
excellence and delicousness will be appreciated by all
who test them. They should be kept by all Drug
gists. REED, CUTLER & CO., BOSTON, Agents

all the metals, are powerful conductors
So with the different kinds of wood; ac-
cor1ing to otheir compactness in their ca
pacity to repel. or attract heat. Soft wood
is warmer than hard. A soft wood house
therefore, is.warmer in winter than a hare
wood building, because it does not alb
stract the heat from the room to the same
extent. 1t is also cooler in summer, or
the same principle, as the heat outside i:
not drawn in by the wood. These thing:
should be thought of in building, and we
see they are taken advantage of.

Is wet and elayey the cane may grow large

Plow the ground early, rather before
corn planting, as it requires all the season
for the cane to mature. The ground should
be narrowed until well pulverized, and
marked in rows three and half or -four
feet apart.
Great trouble is caused by planting poor
seed. 1t should be well ripened, and when
selected should be taken from the best
stalks,which have grown away from broom
corn. or any similar plant that blossoms
otherwise it is apt to be mixed. The best
way for those who do not care to take the
pains to keep pure seed to buy of some one
who does. Perhaps the price asked for
shch seed might seem high, yet in the end
| it would be the cheapest, and it requires
only pound or two to the half acre.
l. The reason that so many have occasion
to complain that their seed does not grow
is that they cover it too deep. 1t should
not be covered to exceed half an inch. II
planted like corn, five or six seeds should
be put in hill, and if in rows, three or
four seeds twehty-four inches apart. 1t is
a good plan to sprout the seed before plant
ing, as it win cause it to come up.quicker
and admit of hoeihg sooner, which is i'm

It is not SO much work to cultivate sorg-
hum as is generally supposed. With the
exceptionsof one hoeing it is raised about
the same as corn. When the plants first
come up they have the appearance of
summer grass" and require nice hoeihg
to keep the weeds back, and the rest may
be done with the horse and plow. When
the plants get about four inches high, they
may not grow any for a month or two, but
when they do start they grow very fast
1t is not good plan to break off the side
shoots, as others soon start and draw more
substance from the stalk than the original
ones would.
There are many varieties of cane, but the
one most depended on is the Sorgo. 1t is
objected to by some because it grows SO
tall rendering it liable te be blown down.,
and on account of its lateness. Other va
rites have their Objectionable features and
their good ones.
Sorghum paws. Tt is as sure crOp as
any other, is as easily taken care of and
makes the farmer Independent of others
for at least one of the ''sweets of 1ife.''
Wehope the farmers of Wyandot county
will see the propriety of planting large
crops of sorghum this season.
