A letter from Schwedt, Prussia, has the
following :.
In Brandenburg almost the only crops are
potatoes and fruit. The potatoe harvest is lust
now being gathered, and the fields present an
interesting, but to American eyes, strange sight.
Here and there may be seen rows of women
and children on the ground, digging with the
instruments Nature gave them for the pota-
toes which have been ploughej up, while be-
hind them the men load their wagons, or stow
the basketfulls in bitches to be covered up.
The rows OF workers extend usually clear
across the fields in which they work. and are
always as straight as a line of soldiers. Oc-
casiona!ly may be seen single couple work.

to hundred are together. They are gener-
ally hired by the large proprietors, though in
some instances the small owners club togeth-

A Beautiful Custom.

In the Mountains of the Tyrol, it is
the custom oil the women and children to
come out when it Is bedtime, and sing their
national songs until they hear their husbands.
and fathers, and bro hers answer them from
the bills on their return home On the
ssores OF the Adrlatic such custom prevails.
Tnere the wives OF the fishermen come down
about sunset and sing melody. Alter sing
Ing the first stanza, they listen awhile for the
answering strain from off the water, and con-
ttnue to sing and listen till the wellknown
voices come borne on the tide, telling that the
loved ones are almost home. How sweet to
the weary fishermen, as the shadows gather
round him, must be the songs of the loved
ones az nome, who sing to cheer him, and
how they strengthen and tighten the bonds
that bind together these humble jewellers by
the sea! Truly it is among the lowly In this
world that we find some OF the most beauti
fui customs in practice.-Rurol Neau Yorker.

familiar acquaintance in California a few
years since, solicited pass outside of the

Under this caption Mr. Farnie gives some
very interesting instances of successful fail
ures, In musical compositions, in the Novem-
Der number of the "Orpheus." Among them
are the following which have attained wide
spread popularity on both sides OF the water.
Mr.. Hatton wrote for Sims Reeves, the great
English tenor, certain ballad entitled "Good
bye, Sweetheart, good bye" The song fell
fat If the singer did not. After while 9th
er artists, George Perren among the number,
took it up and it became great success
Another, ''Smon the Ceilarer," was an utter
failure on It's first appearance, aud did not
revive for year or two when it became a
great favorite. Who would imagine for in
stance, that the popular refrain OF ''Not for
Joe" is forgotten French melody, by Clapis-
son or that when you are touching on the
piano the insplriting strains of Champagne

Some months ago | was called to attend a lady of
WILLIAMSBURG n. ", who had long been suffering
from troublesome uterine disease Its presence was
marked by constant vaginal di> charge sometimes
of watery consistency and sometimes OF creamy and
muco-purulent. She had been under treatment for
some time, put constantly grew worse. Vaginal ex-
animation disclosed extensive induration md uicer
alton OF the cervix uteri. The uterine Inflammation
which was evidently assuming chi onic form was
also aggravated by loDg-standing constipation pal
pitation OF the heart nght-sweats, cough Door an
petite, and almost daily Paintings. She tainted TO

myself to recuperation of the general health 1t
was incoDvenient see her frequently, and except
to mark the healing OF the ulcers IN the early stages
/ visited her only every other week. For tonic and
constitutional invigorant Dodds Nervine only was
prescribed. l had some time before become ac-
quainted with its properties, and knew OF nothing
more safe or satisfactory in its probable effects And
the result completely justified my expectation. In
less thar fortnight the bowels had become and
regular IN their movements, the night disap
peared, and appetite began to grow. The faintin @
spells became less frequent, and soon ceased alto
gether. In another fortnight there was no more
cough, the vaginal discharge sensibly diminish

eral health decidedly improved. What rema ms is
soon told. The patient continued the use of the
Nervine, land no other medicine) for some weeks
longer, when my further attendan not le-

She seems perfectly well. Her joy over restored
health Is naturally enough most enthusiastic. She
never before had medicine Give her such comfort
and such appetite-and such seep-and such conr-
