SNuBBING HENRY WARD BEEcHER.
Talking about snubs reminds me of a
cool thing perpetrated on Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher. 1t don't happen every
day to the popular divine, who runs with
such success his magnificent office for the
insurance Of souls at q reasonable pre-
MUM, in Brooklyn, to be snubbed SO.
i hasten to put on record: 1t seems that
one Of the many snobs of Fifth avenue
purchased a celebrated picture in Europe
and had it duly installed in his princely
mansion among the stunning uphol-
stery Of that hotel. Henry Ward heard
OF this accession to the fine arts of the
city, and although he did not know
Thompson Gas will call him), he con-
cludedto call and ask permission to look
at the pictun So determined, at the
proper hour he dropped in, and gave his
card TO the servant. He had not long
to wait. Jeems returned, and handing
the astounded Henry Ward his bit of
paste-board. said:

you, sir. If you have any business with
him he viii see you in his counting room

No Music IN THE EAsr.-The Asiatic

No Music IN THE EAsr.-The Asiatic
has no ear and no soul for music. Like
other savages and children he loves
noise, and he plays on shrill pipes-on
the tarabuka, ON the tar or tamborine,
and a sparp, one-stringed fiddle, or rahal.
OF course in your first oriental day, you
will decline no invitation, but you will
grow gradually deaf to all entreaties of
friends or dragomen, to sally forth and
hear music. You will remind him that
you did not come to the East to 60 to
Bedlam. The want of music is not
strange, for silence is natural to the East
and hetropics. When sitting quietly at
home in midsummer, sweeping ever sun
ward in the glowing heats, we at length
reach the tropics in the fixed fervor of
July noon; the day is rapt, the birds are
still, the wind swoons, and the burning
glares silence on the world. The Orient
is that primeval and perpetual noon, that
very heat explains to you the voluptuous
elaboration of its architecture, the bril-
lance of its costume, the picturesqueness
of its life. But no Mozart was needed to
sow Persian gardens with roses breathing
love and beauty; no Beethoven to build
Himalayas; no Rossini to sparkle and
sing with the birds and streams. Those
realities are there of which the compo-
sers are the poets to western magma
tons. In the East you see and feel mu-
sic; but hear it never. The Syrian songs
Of the desert are very sad. They har-
monte with the burning monotony of
the landscape in their long recitative and
shrill wall. The camel steps more will
lingly to that natural music; but the
Howadji, swaying upon his back, is
RANGED in the sound, so naturally born
If silence.

In TIE DARK.-Many illustrations of
faith have heen given, but none seems to
us better than that given, not long ago
in a prayer meeting.
A father said that his little girl, who
was much afraid of the dark, slept at
night in crib beside his bed Often
had he been wakened during the night
by a little voice saying, Papa, it's dark
It's dark, Papa! Take hold Nellie's
hand" And when, in answer, he had
taken hold Of the lifted hand, she sank
quietly to sleep, all her fears being taken
away.
The remembrance of the pleading voice
had often helped him to remember in the
midst of troubles and distress, that he,
too, had Father to whom he could lift
his hand and say, Father, it is dark |!
Take my hand" And is he not "nigh
unto all them that hear him.?

PREDEsTINATIoN.-A Missouri paper
contains the following, which will pass
without much urging:

a Calvinistic clergyman who happened to

"Of course / do"

" Because l intend to pass that boat

OLD LErrERs.-Nerer burn kindly
written letters; it is so pleasant to read
them over when the ink is brown, the
paper yellow with age, and the hands
that traced the friendly words are folded
over the heart that prompted them, I'M
der the green sod. Above all, never burn
love letters. To read them in after years
as like a resurrection of ones youth.
The elderly sfmster finds in the impas-
stoned offer she foelishly rejected twenty
years ago fountain of rejuvenesence.
CHANGING over it, she realizes that she
was once belle and a beauty, and be-
holds her former self ia a mirror much
more congenial to her taste than the one
that confronts her in her dressiag-room.
The widow indeed derives a sweet and
solemn consolation from the Letters of the
beloved one. who has journeyed before
her to the far-of land, from which there
comes no message, and where she hopes
one day to join him. No photographers
can SO wildly recall to the memory of
the mother the tenderness and devoted
ness of the children who have left at the
call Of heaven, as the epistolabory out
pourings of their love. The letter of
true son or daughter to true mother is
something better than an image of the
features; it is q reflex of the writer's
soul. Keep all loving letters Burn
only the harsh ones, and in burning them
forgive and forget them.

MARKET GARDENING.-It is the in
dustrious market gardener, on his six or
ten acres, who grows rich, and often pur-
chases the land he at first rented, besides
supporting his family in comfort and
luxury; while the ordinary farmer, on
his fifty or hundred acres, barely sup
ports his family with the closest economy
and most uatiriag industry. A few
punches Of early asparagus will sell for
as much as a bushel of wheat The first
baskets Of tomatoes In market bring
double the price Of the same number of
bushels of corn Good early vegetables
are always eagerly seized upon by our
hungry cities, and they pay back prompt
ly in handsome returns to the producer.

A New WAY TO Propagate PEARS.

A New WAY TO PROPAGATE PEARS.
- DR.. Van Mons of Belgium, the emf
nent horticulturalist, has discovered a
new way to propagate pear trees, which
he describes as follows: al now propa-
gate for myself and intimate friends the
most choice varieties of pears which /
obtain by means of the roots. Not a
single one fails in this new process. 1t
is immateriai in what manner they are
set out The method I discovered acci-
dentally, in consequence of some roots,
on which / intended to graft other kinds
of pears, being thrown on the ground and
covered with little earth, to preserve
them until used for that purpose, and
which were lost sight of and forgotten
until the next spring, when all of them
sent up stalks which, in the autumn,
were as tall as those raised from the seed
of two years growth They can be set
out in the spring as well Is autumn. Such
roots should be selected which have one
or more terminal fbres; and those that
are often cut off and left in the earth
when tree is transplanted, succeed well.
They cannot be too small, but should not
be larger than the finger The wounds
at the large ends should be covered with
the same composition to protect, as in
grating. They must be set obliquely."

Reckless Speaking.

We have probably all of us met with
instances in which a word heedIesslv
spoken against the reputation of a fe-
male has become dark enough to over
shadow her whole existence. To those
who are accustomed-nOt necessarily
from bad motive, but from thouehtless-
ness to speak lightly of females we
recommend these hints as worthy ofeon
sideration: Never use q lady's name i'm
an improper time or in mixed company.
Never make assertions about her that
you think are untrue, or ailusions that
you think she heself would blush 10
hear. When you meet with men who
do not scruple to make use of a woman's
name III reckless and unprincipIed
manner, shun them, for they are the
very worst members of the community
men lost to every sense of honor, ev-
cry feeling of humanity. Many a good
ana worthy wOman's character has been
forever ruined, and her heart broken BY
lie, manufactured by some villain,
ana repeated where il should not have
been, and in the presence of those
whose little Judgment could not deter
them from circulating the foul and brag-
ging report. A Islander is soon propaga-
ted, and the smallest thing derogatory
to wOman's character will fly on the
wings ofthe wind, and magnify as 1t
circulates, until its monstrous weight
brushes its poor unconscious victim
Respect the name of woman; for your
mothers and sisters are women; and IA
you would have their fair name unfair
nished and their lives unembitttered by
theslanderer's biting tongue, heed the
ill that your own words may bring upon
the mother sister or wife of some fell
low creature
