lowing late Testimonials:

AFToN, WIS.,, pril 5th, 1869.
Nessrs. GE0. A. PRINCE & Co.;
sIRs-In 1852 I purchased one Of your 5 oe-
taye Melodeons, and after using it a short time in
the United States, took it with us on Onr return to
Bangkok, Siam. The instrument was used dur
ing the voyage out and kept in almost daily ser
vice in Siam about fourteen years. We used 1t
in public and social worship in both the native
and English services, singing schools and social
gatherings. 1t has been Of great service in
teaching music to the natives and enabling them
to sing correctly. We have taken 1t on excur-
stems and travels in the country, and it has serv-
ed to cheer our weary spirits and beguile many
y tedious hour. The instrument is still good,
and on our return again, will yet serve us or
others for many years. 1t gives me much pleas
ure to recommend your instrument at home and
abroad.
There we're several MelOdeons Of other makers
brought into Siam while we were there, but none
csualled yours in purity and volume of tone, or
stood the climate so we'll and kept in such perfect
tune. The climate of India is very trying to Or
rams and NIelodeons on account of the severity
Of the hot and rainy seasons. Your instruments
have stood the best of any, and if they will stand
the climate of India, all lovers of music should
give them the preference every where.

Wars of the Century.

Turning over the annals of the
seventy years which have elapsed
since the advent of tho nineteenth
century, we arc met with the fact
that war has existed almost contin
nally i'll some of the civilized ma.
tions of the earth. Thus a stats.
iician states that England alone
has waged forty.nine wars since
1900. OF these, there have been
three with France, two with Rus
sia, five with China, two with Den.
mark, two with Holland, two with
Turkey. two with Bnrmah, two
with Persia, one with the United
States, one with Prussia, one with
Spain, one with Sweden. one with
Portugal, and one with Egypt
the others were mostly waged in
India, New leland, and Abyssina.
During the same time France has
engaged in thirty-seven wars, viz:
Four with Austria, three with Rus.
sia, three with Prussia, (incluGing
the present wary three with Eng.
land, fonr with the Arab tribes, two
each with Mexico, China, Spain,
IL Hand and Turkey, and one each
with Portugal, Ilayti, Switzerland,
Denmark, Sweden. Algiers, Mo.
rocco, Paraguay, japan, and the
Roman Republic. Russia shows a
list of twcnty.one wars. Austria
tweIvc, and Prussia seven. All
these wars were waged by the
lending powers If the Old World,
and do not include the many rev
ointi"nary movements suppressed
at an immense expenditure of
blood and treasure. Among the
balf.civilized and barbaric inhabi-
tants of Asia and Africa, war has
been waged without cessation, al.
belt the victims of this terrible
scourge have been far less in nun
Der than among more civilized
people. On this continent, the
dread evil has been quite as often
felt. In Mexico and South Amer.
ica, there has been constant snc
ccssion Of wars, while our own
country has been deluged will,
fra.crnal blood" and has been al
most necessarily engaged in wars
with the Indian tribes. With the
human race, therefore, a state OF
war seems to be the rule, and a
state of peace the exception

tions be reversed.

LUNAn INErrENcE ON VraErA
TIoN.--Thc influence of the moon
OIL vegetation, according to n cor.
respondent Of the Keene IN. C0
Sentinel, may be determined by
trying the following experiments :
Take any given quantity OF com
mon peas, and divide the same in.
to four parts, keeping them sepa-
rate. Then, on any ground at all
fit for vegetation, when the season
approaches, SOW tho contents of the
first parcel on the first or second
day Of the new moon t; the second
parcel SOW near the same spot on
the first or second day Of the SEQ.
ond quarter the third parcel SOW
on the second .r third day before
the full moon; and lastly, SOW the
fourth parcel on the second or
third day before tho moon is ont.
Now the first parcel, sown under
the new moon, will grow very fast,
blossom most beautifully, bnt will
not bear much fruit the second
will blossom and bear very little ;
the third parcel will not only bios.
som beautifully, but will bear fruit
in abundance and the fourth and
last parcel will scar cely rise from
tho ground. Likewise all fruit
trees set at the new moon blossom,
but never bear much fruit; while
those set three days before tie full
moon bear abnndantly. In .prun-
ing trees, the same effect takes
place, for q tree pruned at the new
moon will shoot forth branches,
but will prove unproductive, but
if pruned at the tull it will bear
abundantly.
