Singing in Families.

Children are delighted with poetry at
early age; and what is loved in early life
cannot be easily cffaccl in latter years. A
lady Informed us few days since, that
when a very little girl, she had learned
hundreds of hymns and roetical illusions
not of Il childish, but of "A pure and ele-
waited character This early discipline,
she SAYS, has been safeguard to her all
her life-a preservation against sin and
folly.
Among the German foreiathers it was
common practice, in protcssedly Christian
families to teach their children hymns and
spiritual songs The children had thus
useful employment afforded them to fill up
the time which would otherwise have been
spent in idleness, if not in something
worse. Frequent repetltions of them at
intervals, prompted to efforts to connect
the poetry with music, and this led them
to acquire taste and cultivate talent for
singing. 10 this simple practice may be
attributed, in great degree, the finely
cultivated musical talent of the German
people.
Singing in the family adds greatly to
the interest of devotional exercises, espec-
tally among children. 1t makes the fam
ily altar and home circle pleasant place.
The influences of vocal music of a social
character have always been very happy
indeed. Show US the family where good
music is cultivated, where the parents and
children are accustomed often to mingle
their voices together in song, and we will
show you one, in almost every instance,
where peace, harmony and love prevail,
and where the greater vices have no abid.

Down HILL,

DOWN HILL.
4 story they tell Of lunatic man,
Who slid down hill in . warming pan,
He steersd himself with the handle Of course,
And elucked away ~ he would to horse
His legs, it Is true, were somewhat in the way,
And his seat rather tight ifa body might say;
Bat he landed all right at the foot of the hill,
And for oil know 10 sitting there STILL
You smile 1t the story and wonder how folks
Can get from their brains snch terrible hoax;
But sliding down hill is many man,
On much worse thing than warming pan.
Some are going down at full speed on their pride
And Others who on their stinginess slide;
But the strangest way of taking that ride,
- 70 80, - some do, on . jug astride.
Beware Of such coasting, or like Jack and Gill,
You'll make sorry work in getting down hill
Beware, for with what other evils you tug,
rs nothing like sliding down hill on o Jug.

HLUrrINo HON. JAMES +. VII.
SON.

When editors accuse others of try
ing to bluff the Hon. James F. Will
son, in lle U. s. Senatorial game
they themselves are trying to play
the game, as far as other candidates
are concerned. The people of Iowa,
have evor been willing to honor
James +. Wilson with any position
which was at their disposal and they
were well aware that this same Will
son would be an honor to the State
in any position that he might be
placed, his ability is known and ac-
knowledged, and his reputation as a
statesman is worldwide. That he
would make a good Senator no one
will deny, and possibly he may be
the best man that we have in the
State for that place, but it is we'll
known that he has declined to be a
candidate and whether he has said il
in as many words or not, at present
we arc unable to say, but IL is known
that his friends have said it for him
and he has not contradicted it, and
it is also we'll known that the per
sons who are foremost in urging him
to take the field are Allison men II
this fight-not so much in favor o
Mr.. Allison, as they are opposed t
Mr.. Harlan, and, therefore, while j
is not believed that Mr.. Wilson vii
take any part in this little game, o
could, under any circumstances, b

own friends, it il known that tn
enemies Of Mr.. Harlan are trying t
make him a party to this transae

4, Der Demokrat Of Davenport,
Iowa, q strong friend Of Mr.. Allison
as it long ago announced in it's COL
umns, says that it is true that Sena-
ator Schurz declares he will not sup
port Gen. Grant if fre-nominated, and
that it, the Der Demokrat, has long
occupied that position. Is it then o
matter Of wonder, but rather is il not
directly in point that, if such is tho
iposition Of Der Den,okrat that repub
ilicans Of Iowa should inquire how it
, that this paper favors the choice
sof Mr.. Allison for the Senate, and
whether Mr.. Allison himself is the
hopponent of the administration. So
the Der Demokrat mounts the throne
-dictatorial and says to the republi-
can party OF the union you must obey
our behests in the nomination of the
next Presidential candidate, or we
-cut loose from you. Are our German
friends to assume this position? We
answer unhesitatingly, no; Neither
the Hon. Carl Schurz nor all the
German Schurs papers can lead thus
astray our fellow-citizens of German
birth. II the guantlet Of battle is to
be thus thrown down by the Der
Denaokrdt, it must as matter of me-
cessity be met. The ninety and nine
cannot yield to the demands OF the
hundredth man. 1t is gratifying to
know that this anti-adlninistration
paper IS ono of little note, and that
it meets with very little favor.

Nothing is more surely q true

Gle. The exemplification Of IL, *
which We wish to direct attention 81
this time, is tho glory and strength
of the German Nation, among b 9
powers Of Europe, a. proof of the
statement that knowledge is power.
No nation on tho globe equals Cor
many in the spread of education

greater proportion Of her people are

favored land. Just now the signs Of
the times Indicate preparation
for tho wager Of battle between
the German Empire and Russia. -
Having within the last Eve years
whipped the Austrian and French
nations, Russia feels as though the
gauntlet had been thrown down to her;
at least she feelsjealouso of the growing
power Of Prussia, and may think it
best inorder to show her supremacyto to
measure arms with the young giant.
What however we desired to say in
this article, is that we are convinced
that it is the education, the general
prevalence Of intelligence among the
German people which has placed
that Dstion in the forefront and given
her preeminence over her once pow
erful rivals. The German soldiers
are in the main oil fit for intelligent
officersRnd 60 the physical power put
forth is directed by intelligent brain

gives stsadiness, courage and security

1t also iofeats the growth Of super
stitious notions that often times have
been ,he destruction of entire
armies. Russian soldiers cannot
stand before the Teutons in any case
where the numbers are anything like
the sane. 1t is the educated mind
of Germany that has given, and is
giving the new empire its promi-
ncnce in Europe, and, as we think,

maxim "That know ledge is power"

Suddenly there goes forth an ed.ct,
nobody knows from whom, that
everybody must wear trailing gar
ments; and straightway the filthy
streets are swept with silk aud sa.in.
Some French mantuamakers, whose
fortune depends upon stimulating the
rivalry of wealthy idlers, invents
some new cut OF sleeve, or some
new adjustment of trimming, which
vanity Immediately adopts, as pub
lie advertisement that she is rich
enough to change her dress with

At that time a bride in the vicinity
of Boston left her fathers house soon
