READ, PONDER AND BE W1sE.-Housekeepers
should bear in mind that of all the different Ba-
king Powders in market, rome have stood the
test of strict chemical analysis like DooLEY s
YEAST POWDER. DooLEY's YEAST POWDER con-
tains no ingredients but such as are healthful and
chemically pure. This insures uniform success
in the making of rolls, biscuits, &C., which in
ferior articles do not. Manufactured and sold at
wholesale by DooLEY & BROTHERS, 50 New St.,
New York, and at retail by grocers generally.

1t is an established fact that the Steff Piano
is one of the best now made III the country. They

throughout the country. Their new illustrated
catalogue is beautifully gotten up, and contains
the names of over 900 Southerners, (who have
pu released the Stief Piano since the close of the
war; of which 500 are Virginians, 200 North
Caroinians $50 Tennesseeans, and others
throughout the South. .....-.
1t is also an established fact that the firm of
Chas. NJ. Stief does larger Southern business
than any one house in the United States.
The Stief Pia no combines every quality that
is required to make the Piano as perfect as posi-
BILE. The rich, grand, mellow and powerful tone
they possess has not been excelled by any instru-

WE MUST REFORM. We are fast becom-
ing nation ofschemers to live without gen.
uine work. Our boys are not learning
trades;so Jour farmers sons are crowding into
cities, looking for clerkships and petty
ofhces; hardly one American girl in each
hundred will do house-work for wages, how
ever urgent her need; SO we are sending
to Europe for workmen and buying Of her
artisans millions worth of products that we
ought to make for ourselves. Though
our crop of rascals is heavy, we do not
grow our own hemp; though we are over
run with lads who deserve AagellatioD, we
import our willows. Our women (unless
deceivedD shine in European fabrics; our
men dress in foreign cloths; the toys which
amuse our younger children have gener-
ally reached us over sea. Hence it is that,
in spite Of our high tariff, We plunge
deeper and deeper into debt to the Old
World-not nearly SO fast as we would
under free trade policy, but still entirely
too fast. We are like the farmer who
hires his neighbors' sons to cut his wood,
feed hls sto,k and run his errands, while
his own boys lounge at the grogshop, play
ing billiards, and then wonders why, in
spite of his best efforts, he sinks annually
deeper and deeper into debt, till the Sheriff
cleans him out, and he starts West to be-
gin again.
We must turn over a new leaf. Our
boys and girls must be taught to love labor
by qualifying themselves to do it efficient
ly. We must turn out fewer professionals
and more skilled artisans as well as food
growers. We must grow and fabricate
Two Hundred Millions worth per annum
that we now import, and SO reduce the
foreign debt that we have SO long and so
successfully augmented year by year. We
must qualify our clever boys to erect and
run factories, furnaces, rolling mills, tan
neries, machine shops, etc.--to open and
work mines, improve and fashion imple-
ments, and double the present product of
their fathers farms. So shall we stem the
tide of Debt that sets steadily against our
shores, and cease to be visited and annoy
ed by Hard Times.-New York Tribune.
