sunny ITALY."-,Italy is anything juss
now but sunny" A correspondent Of the
London News writes from Florence:
:" I recollect being greatly amused, some
years ago, at the establishment and dismay Of
an elderly country -woman, who having come
to Florence to enjoy the benefits Of a mild
and sunny cline, was terribly taken aback by
the spectacle which presented itself to her
gaze, when, the morning after her arrival,
she looked forth from her windows in the
Gran Brettagna, on the Lung Arno. and the
first sight that met her eyes was that Of a
party Of Anglo lorentines skating away most
vigorously on the glittering and frozen stream
(" And it is for this" she ruefully exclaimed,
that I have left Aberdeenshire A like disen-
ehantment has fallen to the lot of those coun-
trymen and country woman whom the hope Of
soft Favonian breezes has this year attracted

r.n1x EpnaA11ry-In early childhot

EARLY FRuaAL1rY.-In early childhood,
you lay the foundation of poverty or riches,
in the habits you give your children. Teach
them to save everything for their oa0n
use, for that you'd make them selfish but
for some use. Teach them to share every
thing with their playnates; but never allow
them to destroy anything. | once visited a
family where the most exact economy was OBJ
served; yet nothing was mean or uncomfort-
able. II is the character of true economy to
be as comfortable with little, as others can
be with much. In this family, when the faith
er brought home package, the older chill
dren would, of their own accord put away
the paper and Irvine neatly, instead Of throw
ing them in the fire, or tearing them to pieces.
IF the little ones wanted piece of Irvine to
play scratch cradle, Or spin top, there it was
in readiness; and when they threw it upon
the floor, the older children had no need to
be told to put it again in its place.-Qld

A CHEAP GAs-NoNE OTHER HALF SO
GooD.-We visited last evening the residence
Of DIR. j.. H. Connolly ongthe island. The
Doctor had been engaged several days in
making arrangements to light up his house
with his celebrated petroleo- calcium gas, and
having completed them, the gas was intro
duced and lighted on the occasion for the first
time. To say the light was beautifully white
and clear would be re-iteration of what has
been frequently said in these columns. -Four
gallons of residuum, costing five cents per
gallon; two bushels of coal and coke, worth
about twenty cents and two or three hours
time of man, Cor small boy,) had furnished
gas sufficient to light not only DR.. Connolly 3
residence, but that of L. W. Stockton, imme-
aiately adjoining, for three weeks. Here
then was practical experience OF it's remarka-
bic Responsiveness, and the light positive
proof Of its brilliancy and great illuminating
power. If there is any other material that
will furnish ap abundance of light for tive
medium sized residences fog the length Of time
named at cost of only forty CENTS We would
be pleased to make it public. Tallow dips,
carbon oil, and all other articles for the pur.
pose, are thrown completely in the shade, not
only as to actual results produced, but also as
to cheapness and convenience. Wheeling IN

PROPHETIC LANGUAGE.-The New York
Herald, which the Radicals are exceedingly
fond of quoting as authority when it suits
their purpose, yesterday gave utterance to the
following truthful sentiments. More wisdom
was never contained in ap equal number
Of lines;
''The nomination of Grant, blackeped with
the negro policy Of the Radical faction and
loaded down with revolutionary laws, will be
of no greater avail to the party than would
the nomination of Ben Butler Or Wendell
, Phillips. The people of the North will re-
fuse to reduce ten States of the Union to a
condition of African harbarism and to make
the negro the social equal of the white man,
no matter what candidate the party may put
forward to distract public attention from tba
real issue involved in the election. The
Northern States will cast their electoral votes
against an infamous policy and not for an in
dividual. While the American people honor
Grant as soldier, they will not consent that
he shall be used as an instrument to enable
the Radicals to overthrow a republican form
of government or to force the political su-
premacy of the negro upon the nation: II
he should not sooner sink under the load
heaped upon him by the Radical Congress
he svoald be defeated at the polls By an ever
,ohelnsing majority. The election would be
only repetition of the Scott campaign, and
the result would be as disastrous for the He
70 of the Wilderness as it was for the Hero
of Lundy's Lane. The verdict Of the people
next fall will assuredly be rendered against
the revolutionary negro reconstruction policy
of Congress, and will sweep from power
every vestigs Of Radicalism and every lndl'
uidual who may suffer himself to be drawn
within its poisonous influence"
