Russian Amuse1nents.

In February occurs the famous festival
of ,-Mozlonitza,f or butter week, which
contains the sum and substance of all Rus
sian festivity. All the butter that should
have gone into the consumption of the
succeeding seven weeks is concentrated
into this Whatever can be eaten with
butter is buttered what cannot is reject
ed as unworthy of being used. The STAN
dard dish ofthe week is bli,ani, a kind of
a pancake, made with butter, fried with
butter, and eater with butter sauce.
Breakfast dispatched, come the amuse-
ments. Formerly he frozen plain of the
Neva was used for the various pastimes,
but some years. since the ice gave way
under the immense pressure, and large
number of the reyelers were drowned.
Since then the large square of the Admi-
ralty has been devoted to this purpose.
Thither, for days previous, long trains of
sledges are seen thronging TO the spot
bearing timbers, poles, planks, huge
blocks of ice, and all m:teriels necessary
for erection of, booths, theatres, swings
and slides. A hole is dug in the frozen
ground, into: which the end of post is
placed. 1T is then filled with water,
which, under the influence of a Russian
February, binds il in its place as firmly as
Eough it were led into solid rock.
The cranival commences on the first
Sunday of the butter week, and all St.
Petersburg gives itself up to sliding and
swinging, or to watch the sliding and
swinging of Others The most striking
winter. spectacle of, ST Petersburg, is
that of the ice mountains, which are in
full glory during this "butter week. !"
To form these, narrow scaffold is
raised to the hight of some 80 or 40 feet.
This has on one side some steps for the
ascending; on the other it slopes off,
steeply at first, and then more gradually,
until il finally terminates on level
Upon this slope blocks og ice are laid,
over which, water is poured, which, freez-
ing unites the blocks and furnishes uni
form surface, down which the merry
crowd slide upon sledges, or, more fire.
quentlysmooth blocks of ice cut out into
suitable form. This is national amuSe-
| ment among the Russians and so much
priced that an imitation mountain, made
of polished wood, is used for the same
sport In summer. =. =. 80

Forest Trees,

/ know very many large land owners
who have been toiling for the past thirty
years to lay up something. to keep them
in their old age, and leave a balance to
their children. They have worn them
selves out as we'll as their land, and that
something for which they have SO ardu-
ously labored has not been obtained, and
their children are likely to inherit
a poor, worn-out farm, instead of that
competency which their father expected
to have left them. Suppose these men
had left one-half their farms covered with
the original forest, or fit was already
cleard when they came in possession,
they had planted one-half with forest
trees, and than expended all their labor
upon the other half, they would have
produced better crops, and with more
profit one-half of their farms would
have been rich, and the other half covered
with forest that would be a fortune
worth inheriting.
Thousands of men are toiling this day
to lay up wealth for their children, when
if they would invest small amount in
land, and then plant few acres of oul
best forest trees, their money would grow
in fortune by the time their children
had grown into manhood. To some this
may appear visionary; but the writer
has lived long enough to see trees grow
from saplings that would hardely bear
his weight at ten years old up to great
trees two feet in diameter, and he has
scarcely passed the halfway house o1

Farm Work for January. /.

r During January we experience the
rigors of our bleak winter with its frosts

winds, while comfortably seated around
our warm fresides, what is more appro-

have entered. Now is the time to make

during the past year Where accounts
have been regularly kept, this will be
easy, and by careful revision we can learn
what to raise, and what crops are most
suitable to the land we are cultivating.
This is the time for those who have NOT
yet done so, to commence keeping
Farm account-Suitable blank books
should be obtained, in which to keep 3
record of what occurs-a correct account
with employees, with each field, each crop
raised-so that at the end of the year we
may learn what crops pay the best, and
know exactly what is proftble or other
wise to raise. Visit z

improve the winters leisure by reading
the best works on agriculture and horti

helped to q resolution to avoid such
things in the future, by looking at the
"The Opera House was valued, (by Its
owners,) at 5000, 900, though it certainly
could not have been sold for near that
sum. The Art Gallery was not worth at
the outside, over $4,000. About $780,
600 tickets were sold at IS each, yielding

Mr.. Boutwell's bill, which passed the
House on the 23d, by vote of 1O9,to AZ,
is designed to meet the point made In
the recent decision of the Supreme Court,
that Presidential pardon enabled rebels
to practice in the United States, and did
away with all the laws enacted by Con-
gress on the subject; and to assert the
right of Congress to declare what often
ces make men ineligible to administer the
laws. 1t establishes distinction between
the power to remit a penalty and the
power to reinstate to Prisileges--a dis.
tinction not admitted in the decision of
the Supreme Court. Mr.. johnson, by the
ruling of this bill, may pardon rebel, but
cannot make him United States officer
against the laws Of the country. The
bill is intended as bar to Executive
usurpation of the Constitutional powers
OF Congress. t1-r ,--.s-a.sr -s.ss

The .. S. grand jury at New Orleans

fact alone is worse than anything that

that public sentiment In that communi-

pie generally were not implicated in il.
They may think so, but how do they

Politeness at Home.

Somebody says, and says truly, that
there are few families anywhere inwhich
love is not abused as furnishing the IL
cense for impoliteness. A husband, IA
ther or brother, will speak harsh words
to those he loves best, simply because
the secrecy of love and family pride keep
him from getting his head groken. II 1t is
a shame that man will speak more i'm
politely at times to his wife or sister than
he would to any other. woman. 1t is
thus that the honest affections of mans
nature prove to be weaker protection
to woman in the family circle than the
restraints of society, and that woman
is usually indebted for the kindest polite.

her own household 81 10 3siiE ati'-
These things ought not to be SO. The
man who, because it will not be resented
inflicts his spleen and bad temper upon
those of his hearthstone, is small cow

gentleman and ladies at home, and nc
polish exhibited in society can atone fol

- An ERROR IN NMARRIlGE.-Almost any
error in life may be remedied save an er-
ror in marriage. Ifa man makes mis-
take in one thing, he can rectify it by
being right in another; if one mine be
unproductive, or one field barren, he
can try for gold in some fresh direction
it is competent for him to turn up the
sods of distant acres, and plant and reap
there; but if you find you have chosen
wrongly in marriage, it is as when man
discovers, just as his sun is close upon
setting, that he has erred through life
There is no retracing either road, there
is no getting rid of the spent existance
or of the lawful wife the day is gone
the die is cast, the decision made beyond
recall and unhappy indeed is he who
finds that he has taken the wrong turn.
