The Sugar Rcfiners.

The men lately employed in the sugar retineres,
but now on strike, met in considerable numbers at
Walhala Hall, in Orchard street, yesterday. The
only business transacted was that Of election of
officers. These men, who had, perhaps, much
greater reason for strike than those In any other
branch OF industry, are badly misrepresented by
some Of their leaders. They have been worked
thirteen or fourteen hours per day, according to
their statement, in close buildings where the heat
was intense, and yet were paid sum so small tnat

lily, could not live decenty on the wages There is
little unity among them, however, and the organi-
cations striking for half their hours and double
their pay express but little sympathy, other than

They hold a meeting tomorrow night, which is
spoken of as the crisis that is to determine the

BERLIN, december 9th. II.

Is the summer residence of the
Grand Duke ofSaxon Wimar. The
hunting chateau was erected by
Duke John William of Eisenach, in
the eighteenth century. A beauti-
ful lake covering a surface of TWEEN.
ty five and one-half acres, attracts the
tourist by it's romantic aspect, and
the many varieties of swans and
ducks that gracefully sail over its
CLASSY bosom. The shores are lined
with choice trees,of majestic growth,
flowers and shrubbery, and the ma
tural park contains an artificial
river, nicely arranged cascades and
falls, and near by is a fountain of
two dolphins and nymphs, artiscally
arranged within a grove of fir trees
Of immense size and great age.
There is such an air of PEACEFUL re-
pose among all this grandeur,
planned by cultivated minds, that
one imagines himself walking in
enchanted ground, and regrets leav-
ing this beautiful spot. But the
distant castle bell admonishes the
traveller that rules must also be OBJ
served here, that he must hasten
away, as the gates are soon to be
closed; therefore turn my steps to
the opposite steep hill, find the seat
at its top perched way out on a
rock, like an eagles nest, from
which can enjoy by the fading
light of the sun last look at this
pretty valley. But soon the thick
mists aIise, first the castle, then the
park is wrapt in the thick fold, then
gradually setting down upon the
lake, making the motionless forms of
the swans appear like ghost, until
they too are gone and all is night.
With some difficulty 1 find my way
back to the Auerhahn Hotel. 1
awoke early in the morning, feeling
that the great harvest of my tour
was to be reaped to day, that every
notable spot between here and Eisen-
ach l meant to visit. l was soon
crossing meadow, and began a
gradual ascent of over one mile,
which brings one over a flight Of
cunningly arranged steps to wild
mass of rocks, which again lead to ?
forty-six feet high and sixty feet
wide grotto, surrounded by groves
of grand beech trees, which add i'm
mensly to the beauty Of this wild
spot, (which is called Hochwaldgrotto.
Crossing a bridge over the chasm
and ascending thirty-eight steps cut
into the opposite rock, 1 enter a
beautiful beech forest, and in one
half mile further ascend the Hirsh-
stein (Deerrock) 1,46l feet high.
Close by stands an immense oak,
many hundred years old, surrounded
by seats, where the traveller can
find rest and protection against sun
and rain. The Hirshstein is con-
by many superior to the
Trippstein in it's attractive views,
but let it be as it may, if there is
which might give the
forms the advantage, it is the close
of the Wartburg, with its
hallowed associations. Continuing
my journey l arrived in about three
fourths of an hour at the Hohe

THE ORGAN BLOWER.
BY OLIVER W. HOLMES.


Dsvoutest Of my Sunday friends,
The patient organ-blowsr bends;
I see his figure sink and rise,
Forgive me, heaven, my wandering eyesD
A moment lost, the next half seen,
HIS head above the seaDty screen,
Sill measuring out his deep salaams
Through quavering hymns and painting psalms
No priest that prays in gilded stole,
To save rich mans mortgaged soul;
No sister fresh from holy vows,
So humbly stoops, so meekly bows;
His large obesciance puts to shame
The proudest gsnuhec ilg dame,
Whose Easter bonnet low descends
Wi4h all the grace devotion lends.
o brother with the supple spine,
How much we owe those bows OF thinel
Without thy arm to lend the breeze,
How vain the finger on the keysl
Though all unmatched the players skill,
Those thousand threats were dumb and still:
Anothers art may shape the tone,
Tne breath that fills it is thine own.
Six days silent Mammon waits
Behind his temples folded gates;
But when the seventh days sunshine falls
Through rainbowed windows on the walls,
He breathes, he sings, he shouts, he fills
the quiyering air with rapturous thrills;
The roof resounds, the pillars shake,
And all the slumbering echoes wakel
The Preacher from the Bible-text
With weary words my soul has vexsd:
Some stranger, fumbling far astray
To find the lesson for the day;)
He tells US the truths too plainly true,
And reads the service all askew-
Why-why the-mischief-can't he look
Beforehand in the service-book7
But thou with decent mein and face,
Art always ready in thy place:
Thy strenuous blast whate'er the tune.
As steady as the strong monsoon;
Thy only dread leathery creak,
Or small residuaI extra squeak,
To send along the shadowy aisIes
A sunit wave of dimpled smiles.
Not all the preaching, 0, my friend,
Comes from the church's pulpit endi
Not all that bend the knee and bow
yield service half so true as thou!
One single task performed Alright,
With slender skill, but all thy might,
Where honest labor does its best,
And leaves the player all the rest.
This many diapasoned maze,
Through which the breath of being strsys,
Whose music makes our earth divine,
Has work for mortal hands like mine.
Ny duty lies before me, Lo.
The lever therel Tsks hold and blowl
And He whose hand is on the keys

PLANTING PEAS AND VARIETIES.

PLANTING PEAS AND VARIETIES.
The careful gardener will now be
daily watching the disappearance
of the snow, and loosening ofthe
frost, so that he may plant peas, for
he knows that the earliest planted.

the earliest to give him fruit in re-
turn. Time was when the old Early
Kent and Washington were our
earliest sorts, giving US their crops
about the first of July, but that dav
has gone by, and out of the dozen
of new sorts introduced the passed
season hereabouts gave credit to
Waite's Extra Early Caractacus "a
the earliest variety, as well as being
a strong grower and very productive.
McLean's Advancer follows it verv
closely, and for the amateur grower
is superior, because it is one Of the
wrinkled marrows, and very much
richer and sweeter than the smooth
white sorts. Next following in time
of maturing comes McLean's Eui-

Laxton's Prolific Long Pod. quite
new, but last year with as proved
very productive and Of superior
quality; it is, however, little, if anv
earlier than the old, well known
Champion Of England, upon which
it is perhaps best to rely for the main
crop. All these forenamed varieties
should be planted at the same time.
and then they will be fit together in
the order named following each
other. Many suppose that the time
of maturing of peas depends on the
time of planting, but in a sense Il is
not so, the peas being of themselves
early or late varieties, Just as much
as Onr apples or peaches, and the
earlier they are planted the mora
vigorous and productive will be tbe
crop. The depth at which TO
plant depends something on the soil;
light soils should cover to a depth Of
at least six inches, and eight inches
is still better for the late maturing
sorts; clay soils should cover four
to five inches, and if well drained
six or seven inches will result j..

tlveness at least ten davs. ~. -

at present occupied by the game
keeper, who also keeps a restaurant
in the adjoining building. A fine
clrriage road leads from here to the
Mariendale, but anxious to explore
the wild wonders of the famous
Annadale, I turn down a narrow
road, through the fine forest, very
steep ascent, which soon brings me
to a labyrinth Of high rocks, moss
and tree covered. The little path
grows smaller, the rocks closer, cay
light fades and chilling gloom
prevades the whole atmosphere.
Nevertheless there is an attraction
in all this terrible grandeur. Springs
squirt from the rocky, moss grown
crevices, little brook dashes past
you in noisy haste, and a hollow,
distant moan and boom sets you TO
wondering what that might be,when
at short distance a sudden turn
among the rocks exposes a cataract
of thirty by forty feet dashiug down
upon the oozy, moss-grown rocks
below, producing that Harmony

mass of all kinds OF wood-vegitation

BEETS.

The beet is unquestionably more
used as an eschlent in all stages OF
its growth than any other garden
vegetable. The seed should be
sewn for an early crop Just as soon
as the frost will permit the ground
to be worked. If the ground is not
rich from having been well manured
the previous season, the use Of a lit
tie bone meal and dry hen manure
with, say one-fourth Of plaster Of
paris, all in q powdered condition,
will give much more rapid growth
and cleaner roots, free from forks,
ETC., than the application Of ordinary
bone yard manure. Make the drills
and SOW the mixture in the drill with
the seed. The BassanO is the best
very early sort, which has been tes-
ted extensively, but a new one called
Egyptian Red bids fair in time to
supercede it. The old Early Bloog,
Turnip variety has also a rival nm.

nip Beet, which is said tc. 70 be of a
deep red color, the roots in form of
the Bassano, and more tender than
the old Early Blood. Sow the seed
thick, and when the plants are two
TO three inches high, thin them out

are superior. ADDL

BEST STRAWBERRIES.

What are the best strawberries.
is question almost daily asked, and
to which a reply summed up as fol-
lows will perhaps cover the ground,
viz, of all the hundreds of varieties
tested widely, the Wilson, Ida, and
Triumph de Grsnde, have the best
record, the Wilson on all lands be-
ing conceded best for market profits.
while the Ida is one Of the verv
earliest to mature and continue
longest in bearing, but it is too
small for profit in market. The
Triumph de Grand is the only one
sort of foreign origin, of large sized
fruit, handsome, &C., which has gen
orally been successful. Jucunda.
Napoleon III. and dozens more have
each their special local friends and

may, or do, succeed, the Triunp6
