would to God that the German beer-gar-
dens could be established among us-all exI
cepl the beer! l would rather have the
beer than your wine! My old fatherland is
Germany, the home our ofAnglo-Saxon Of blood
The OLD honest stock, the old sincere stock
that always ran toward republicanism. The
monarchical stOck-the French stock, the
Italian stock, the Spanish stock-alI run TO-
ward monarchism Ceitcs they are, the
whole of them. They want q chief; and
when they get one, they fight him aud then
when they have got rid of him they fight
because they have not got one. They fight
anyhow! But the Saxon stock always ran
for the common people. And if you must
drink, drink good German beer. Do not
meddle with your aristocratic French wines,
your Southern wines, or anything of the
kind. But do not drink either Gods

never saw a man wipe his dirty lip of

and water tastes like nothing. In every
other respect commend us to these social in
situations. went, in Dresden and several
other German cities, into these gardens,
where, for a very small price, wholesome
meals could be obtained, and where l saw,
1 think, no less than one or two hundred
families, who sat and refreshed themselves,
while the most exquisite music was being
performed by excellent bands, admirable as
anything we hear 10 Philharmonic concerts.
And after spending the early evening in this
sensible manner, they wended their way
home at the good old Puritan hour of nine
o'clock-seldom later than ten. And l
thought, "could such pleasures be brought to
my fatherland, it would promote the cause
of morality-pleasure so cheap that man
can take his whole family"
Therefore say that music is never going
to regenerate us until it gives some other
than gold and silver sounds. 1t is not going
to DO it so long as it costs four or FIVE dollars
to go to single concert. So long as Phil
harmonic societies cannot succeed because
they charge one or two dollars for admission,
and man cannot afford to attend with his
family, how are you going to make music
minister to the wants of the poor and of the
community? So there should be an abolition
of ruinOus prices. There should be offered
means for cheap family auusements outside
of home. And when the time shall come
that men can have bowling>alleys, and bills
lard tables, and music-all of them in clean
places-Without the accessories of drinking
or temptations; where young men can 60
with their wives, and with their fathers and
mothers; when this time comes, think the
family will not be weakened. 1t will be
strengthened. 1t will be greatly helped
especially in cities, where there is no nature
where the choice is between the carpet
and the stone pavement.-Henry Ward
Beecher.

THERE was q man who lived in Cass
county, Georgia, many years ago, who had
once been in the State Legislature, and nev-
er neglected an opportunity to emphasize the
fact. lie was perfect infdel as to new dis
coveries and the new sciences, being perfect.
II satisfied that it the world should turn
over, all the water would spill out Of his

slow degrees. But all the walls of his con-
tempt were poured out upon the idea of
telegraph, and he was wont to say that no.
body could come "the green" over him 10
that way, for he had been in the Legislature.
Finally, the State road was built, and one
day workman began to put up telegraph
posts right in front of his house, and to
stretch the wire. His axultant neighbors
thought they had him on that occasion, and
asked, "Weil, old fellow, what do you think
of teegraphs now?" He was concerned,
but died game Drawing himself up an inch
taller, he said, "Gentlemen, when was in

Ph horoGRAPHING IN BALLooSs.-The Rev. J. A.
Scott, of Moorefeld, hes invented a contrivance
by which birds eye view of large district of
country can be taken in a second. Photographic
camera is attached to a small balloon and sent up
to any height at which the observation is to be
tAken-the balloon is anchored to the earth, of
course. By an electro-magnet, whose wires
extend up TO the camera, the latter is opened
and shut, and thus the photograph of the coun-
try is taken. The invention will be Of immense
use to the military operations, and in obtaining
4 correct map oEany district of country required.
The picture obtained will be absolutely correct,
and so superior to the ordinary draughting, that
they will in time, to great degree, supersede the
employment of surveyors instruments.

A BILL is before Parliament, and has pass
ed the House of Commons, to legallse the
marriage of u man with his deceased wife s
sister, and the newspapers are much divided
over it. The Times is much opposed to the
change, and says; N., -.
A sister.in-law is never so serVlceable as
Immediately after wife's death. AT present
she can offer her help at such time without
risk of miscOnception, but IT the law were
main in her brother-in-law's house. There
ia a clear convenience in the present state Of
things which practically enlarges the family
circle while we cannot admit that any real
ipcou veuience is inflicted by the restriction;
There is NO dearth Of women 10 England and
a man can have no difficulty in finding a
spitable wife. 1t can be no material hard
ship to interdict him from two familles-n's
own and his wife's.

LIFE ON THEOCEAN WAVE.

IA life on the ocean wave ~
The man who wrote it was green;
He never had been to sea,
And Q storm he never had seen.
He never has been aroused
From the mornings gentle doze,
BY the sound Of splashing water,
As it fell from the horrid hose
He never has heard 9 man
Scru5bing right over his head,
With q noise Sufficient to rouse
From the grave the slumbering dead.
He has never seen fat woman
Growing thinner day by day,
And leaning over the vessels side,
Throwing herself away
While people look carelessly on,
Though in tears the woman may be-,
And unfeelingly say 1t Is nothing at all
But the rolling Of the Sea.
And oh, be has never been sea sick,
And crept into bed With his coat,
While every motion increased his throesi
And bis feelings were all in his throat.

THE merciful shall find mercy. This is
because every man finds what he himself is,
and has measured back to him what he has
meted out to others. Goodness never fails
of its reward and injustice never fails to
come home to the house and upon the head
of the unjust. Though justice has leaden
legs, it finally overtakes each one.

"No USE OF WINKIN."-At q party in
modern Athens, Edingburg, one of the guests
observed her son Charles eating rather more
toraeiously than the laws of even northern
etiquette allowed. She watched for an op-
pOrtunity, and gave him one of those signi'
kcant looks which only mother aud sisters
can command but instead of stopping
Charles, he said to his mamma, 'Oh, ye

WOMAN'S RIGHTS.
BY KITTY CHEERFUL.


What can mean that great commotion
About women's rights and wrongs,
While of rights boundless ocean
Still to her by right belongs.
Hers the first to greet the morning,
And the breakfast to preparei
Hers the irst to set in order,
With a watchful, prudent care.
Dress the children, pour the coffee,
Hush the baby's noisy cries,
Look smile whose very blandness
Every cloud of care defes.
Meekly hers it is to listen
To each bit of morning news,
Talk and prattle of the weather,
Drive away all business blues.
Then to please her darling husband,
Down to sit aud sing "good by"
Play a waltz or variation,
Or a Scottish melody.
She's the right to pin his collar,
Square the knot in his cravat,
See him safely through the passage,
Brush his raglan and his hat.
Teach the child to throw sweet kisses
To his "dear, kind, good papa"
Watch him till he's out of hearing,
Sigh because he's lett mamma.
Hers to hasten to toe kitchen,
Fix the little ones for school,
Wash the dishes, make the pudding,
Set the butter where twill cool.
This one right, above all others
Let her work be what it will,
Making soap, preserves or caodles-
To keep her person tidy still
Keep her hair in glossy ringlets,
Or arranged with prudent care,
With a habit so becoming,
A princess might be proud to wear.
Then to keep her petty troubles
Meath this elegant outside,
Burying sighs, and tears, it may be,
Sweetly smile, whate'er betide.
Talk of suffrage, and of voting,
She resists it il a huff;
Woman's rights they're but too plenty,
Mercy knows she's rights enough.
Fiil man claim the right of training
Children, infancy aud youths
Till be educate all nations,
Rear the boys and girls, forsoothi
Till be mold earth's sons and daughters,
Mind and matter at his will
Holding ye the rod of empire.
She abjures the suffrage still.

HENRY WARD BEEcHBR says there is no harm
in signing for neighber if you have got the
property; il you are able to pay the amount
without harming your own household and if
you love the man for whom you sign enough to
give him outright the sum covered by your in>
dorsement. Otherwise, to go surety for a neigh
Dor is a folly, sin and a shame.

The EARTHoUAKE.-Atab about thirty min.
utes past six o'clock, on Saturday morning,
the shock of an earthquake was felt through
out the city of Helena. Our citizens we're
somewhat startled by the novel sensation.
AS We were busy at the time and took no
notice of the phenomenon, we are indebted
to the entcrpriSing local of the GOzette for the
information that: The oscillation we're from
east 10 west, and lasted about 40 seconds.
The vibrations we're curviliuear in their action
with certain gyratOry motion. 1t affected
persons diferantly some were terribely fright
ened, some few made frightfully sick, aud
many looked frightful Most every one has
