The Concert md supper

of the st. Matthew's Mite Society, at
Washington Hall, tomorrow evening,
promises to be indeed meritorious af-
fair. No labor or pains have been spar
ed to make this rare treat to our citi-
zens. Some of the best musical talent
of the city will take part in the exer-
cises, among whom We mention Mrs.
Chandler, Mrs. Whitney, Miss McAfee,
Miss Sinner, the Misses Metcalfs, DR..
HI. Wiesel and Mr.. S. p. Wheeler
After the concert, supper and refresh
ments consisting of oysters, turkeys,
salads, coffee, cakes, ices and variety
of other eatables will be served by the
best cooks in the city. Altogether we
expect this to he one of the most pleas
ant gatherings which has ever assem-
bled in Washington Hall.

Importance Of Advertising.

The following from the Pittsburgh
Gazette, sketch of a business house in
that city, admirably illustrates our
views:
'In brief interview with one of our
most liberal patrons, a few days since,
we inquired his experience of the poll
cy of advertising. We regard his an
swer as noteworthy, and commend it to
the consideration of others. He said
tue same kind Of business i'll which he
is engaged had been carried on at the
same stand for ten years by one, and
nearly ton years by another predecesso r
That these men gave diligent attention
to their business, were sober and frugal
but spent nothing for ADVERTISING
They were just barely able to exc ont
a living. That he bought out the con
Germ ten years ago, and begun debtor
for the whole establishment. He felt
poor, and only expended fifty dollars
per annum in each of the business pa
pers the first year; that subsequent!
he increased his expenses to severa
thousand dollars annually for advertis
ing, and the result has demonstrated it
marvellous utility, and he is to-day
worth $4,000, and his annual profit
are constantly increasing.

The Russian Steppe.

The Steppe, says writer in the Fort
nightly Rerier, consists of vast illim-
liable plain, its monotonous expanse
stretching away in every direction to
the horizon, never broken by hill, or
even q tree, but undulating like an
ocean whose waves have suddenly been
arrested. For thousands and thousands
of miles these gentle undulations sue
coed one another, such n sameness per-
vading the landscapes that at last,
though the traveller knows that his
horses are gallOping on, and he sees the
wheels of his car turn round, yet lie
seems fastened to the same spot, unable
to make any progress. Not even bush
is to be seen on the level ground, not a
rivulet is to be heard, but here and
there in the hollows are tall green-reeds
and scattered willows, where sullen
rivers flow slowly along between sandy
banks. So far 10 these desolate tracts
extend that it has been declared that
calf born at the foot of the great wall
in China might eat its way along till 1t
arrived, well-fattened OK, on the banks
Of the Dniester. In the spring the
steppe possesses peculiar charm Of its
own. The grass is then comparatively
soft, and of dazzling green. Here and
there, literally, "you can not see the
grass for the flowers" for they grow in
masses, covering the ground for acres
together, hyacinths and crocuses, tulips
and mignonette. The air is fresh and
exhilarating, the sky'is clear and blue,
and the grass rings with the song OF in
Vulnerable birds. III the district over
which Koltsof was accustomed to roam,
the steppe retains for some time the
beauty with which spring has clothed
it; but in the interior, where rain is
unknown, when summer comes the
pools and water-cOurses run dry, and
the earth gradually turns dry, and
hard, and black. Shade is utterly I'M
known, and the heat is everywhere the
same. At morn and eve the sun rises
and sets like ball of fire, while i'll the
noontide it wears Il hazy appearance,
due to the dust which pcrvades the at
mosphere like smoke. The herds grow
lean and haggard, and the inhabitants
appear wrinklcd and melancholy, and
darkened by the constant dust to IN al
most African hue. In the autumn the
heat greatly lessons, the dust-col
ored sky becomes once more blue, ant
the black earth green; the haze gathers
into clouds, and the setting sun cover:
the sky with the splendOr of gold ant
S crimson. With September this phase
: ends. No yellow corn-tields, no russe
leaves, throw glory over the late
,, portion of the year; but October comes
in wet and stormy, and soon afterwart
winter arrives, cold and terrible, sweep
$ ing the plains with hurricanes and snow
storms.

Do-Noshing Young Indies.

At srecent social gathering young
lady informed me, says an accomplished
lady writer, that she never sewed
What do You suppose was the nature o.
Imy reflections on hearing that deelara
toni said to myself, either that girl
speaks falselyTor else she is very lazy
Never sew! Who, then, queried,
makes your dresses and cloaks, your
skirts and bowsi Who repairs the rips
in your pretty gaiter boots, and darns
the holes in your stockingsf Is it your
aged mother, or your more industrious
sister Or, do you hire all your sewing
donef Should this last superstition be
the case, may you never marry And
the chances are you never will. Not
one young man in hundred can afford
to marry a woman who habitually neg
lects household duties.
Young man, if it should ever be your
fortune to hear young woman declare
that she never sews, beware. Shun her
as you would the chills and fever. Be
insane enough to make such one your
wife, and before the honeymoon is over
the horrors of buttonless shirts and
heelless hose would be upon you your
fair lady's sewing would be done by
others, while she moped in idleness or
rioted in fashionable dissipation. Then
farewell to your dreams of domestic fe-
licity; they would fade as summer flow
ers at the touch of frost.
l have repeatedly heard ladies, edu-
Gated and intelligent ladies, declare with
actual pride, their Ignorance of the art
of cooking. They could not make
cup of coffee to save their lives" and as
to their making loaf of good bread, or
cooking a simple dinner, that was out of
their power. Poor, miserable unfor-
Inmates. Doubtless mothers are much
to blame for thus neglecting their
daughters education; bat surely there
is no sensible girl who could not, blythe
exercise of little energy, perfect her
self in the most needful branch of do
nestle knowledge. False pride, in al
most every case, is the only barrier i'll
the way. 1t is not considered "genteeP
chow abominate that word) to do any
thing useful, and fashionable miss
would consider herself disgraced should
she be seen with her hands in the dough,
or caught in the act of sweeping room.
If young lady of the present day can
thump the piano, use q few French
phrases, dance, flirt, and do nothing
her education is accomplished
she is considered Finished"

A Disxusied Editor.

The Alliance (O.) Mouiior, of the 18th
ult., contains the following manifesto,
which indicates that the editor is slight
ly "riled:'
TO WHOM II MAY CONCERN.
Soon after the issue of our paper each
week, there is generally from one to
half dozen visiting our sanctum, or
printing room, to inquire who wrote
various articles which have appeared.
If there is q report of criminal trial,
rs soon as the fellow gets loose, up lie
comes to our sanctum, to ascertain who
made the report. If we have crit
icized any action, some one must
make inquiry. If We rail out against
any Sabbath-breaker, plug-ugly, num-
scull or nuisance, then some one is
certain to visit us to request the name
of our informer- If we observe young
man who minds his own business, and
saw so, some one is sure to call in and
ask if he did not insert it as an ''adver-
tisement." To all such we say, if you
do not desire tn be kicked down stairs,
keep out of our sanctum. If we are
not able to do it, We will hire it done
We are disgusted with these soft heads
who consider an editors time only to bc
employed in giving information to &
set of old grannies. An editor is sup
posed to have an eye open always witt
the purpose to record events as the.
trauspire.. As we have remarked be
fore. we intend to chronicle 'nothin.
that is not in strict accordance Will
the truth. If anything else finds it
way into our paper, We wish to correc
it. We alone are responsible for al
our editorials, and therefore suggest tn
propriety, in future, of the busy-bodie
and others needing this advice, aut
giving us no trouble. THE EDITOR.
