Together this still Sunday morn.

Their hymn has no sense in it's letter,
Their music no rhythm nor tune;
Our worship, perhaps, may be better
INT theirs reaches God quite as soon.
Their angels stand close to the Father;
His heaven r. made bright by these flowers;
And the dear God above us would rather
Hear praise from their lips than from ours.
S;nc on. little children-your voices
FIN the air with cOntentment and love;
All nature around you rejoices,
And the birds MARBLE sweetly above.
Sing on-for the proudest orations,
The liturgies sacred and long,
The anthems and worship Of nations
Are poor to your innocent song.
Sing on-our devotion Is colder,
Though wisely our prayers may be planned,
For often we, too, who are older,
Hold our book the wrong way in our hand.
Sing on-our harmonic inventions
We study with labor and pain;
Yet often our angry contentious
Take the harmony out of our strain.
Sing on-all our struggle and battle,
Our cry, when most deep and sincere
What are they? A child's simple prattle,
A brea tn in the Infinite Ear.

HONE, FARM AND GARDEN.

Rye Drop Cakes.-One cup of sour
cream, three cups of sour milk or butter
milk, one-half cup of sugar or molasses,
two teaspoonfuls Of saleratus. Mix stiff
enough for the spoon to stand erect. A
little salt helps it.
Plum Preserves-Plums are equally
good done in molasses as sugar. II sugar
is used, take an equal quantity of fruit
and sugar. Make clear syrup and boil
the plums gently forty minutes. They
will require heating over once if to be kept.
Beech plums are very excellent prepared
in this way, as well as for pies.
Iced Apples.-Pare, core and slice ten
apples of large, tart kind. Bake them
till nearly done. Put them away to get
entirely cold; then prepare some icing as
for apple merihgne, and first pouring Oft
all the juice, lay the icing thickly on the
tops and sides as much as you can. Re
turn them to the oven to just harden and
be set Serve with cream. This is very
beautiful either for dessert or an evening
Imitation Coral Baskets.-Bend bon
net wire into the shape of a scolloped
basket; and two wires, crossed at equal
distances, for the handle; and then sew on
few raisin stems, short and long ones.

with them, then proceeded with fresh
courage to the unpleasant things which
still remained to be done. The widow
had finished her washing and was ironing
and summing the clothes as fast as they
dried. The dishes were all washed, and
put back on the clean shelves covered
with neatly .bordered papers. The poor old
feather-bed received terrible shaking, and
summed itself for hours on pile of brush
in the back yard. The straw was emptied
out, the tick washed and dried and filled
with fresh, clean straw again. Aunt
Kezzy took the bedstead in charge, peer
ing carefully at every crack and crevice,
scalding and securing and sailing it, until
she was satisfied that from henceforth the
poor old souls would be able to sleep in
peace. At last the bedroom and kitchen
were as pure and sweet as whitewash,
soap and water could make them, and the
tired but happy boys and girls prepared
to return to their homes. Auntie praised
them all, and said a few words about the
blessedness Of ministcring to the poorest,
lowliest ones of earth, as our Saviour
did, which sank deep into their young
hearts. =,

BARON CASTOR DE BRIMONT.

The Case of dc BrimOnt VS.. Pennlman-
Curiositics OF French Law-Are Pa
rents-in-Lnw Obliged to support Needy
Sons-in-Law :-Importnnt Decision by
Judge WOodruf-Dism issing the Suit.
Not long since there were published in the
HERALD the particulars of the of Baron CASTOR
de Brlmont, the husband in her lifetime Of Pauline
Penniman, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. James F.
Pennman, OF this city. Miss Penniman was mar
sried in Paris to M. CASTOR de Brimont, in which
city her parents were then living, and where they
resided for several years. NJ DE Brimont alleged
that he was a man OF title, Baron but it turned
out that he was nothing OF the Sort On the 18th Of
February, 1869, shortly after giving birth to her
first child Nine. De Brimont died. under crcum-
stances which were supposed TO reflect unfavOrably
upon her husband. M. De Brimont began an
action against Mr. and Mrs. Penniman
to compel them to pay him 10000 francs
per year under tle law of France which says that
'Iathers-ln-law and mothers-in-law shall provide
for their needy sons-in-law." On this action De
Brlmont obtained Judgment. from which the Pen
nmans appealed to the Imperial Court OF France.
That Court affirmed the Judgment of the Court be-
low. The Pennimans, having disposed OF their
property in France in way IN which it could not
mont anything unless he would give up his child
to their custody and care. This De BrimOnt de-
clined TO 40 ana ne then came on to this city: Here
United States Circuit Court based ON the eXecu-
ton obtained In Paris. The purpose OF this action
was to obtain a decree compelling the Pennimans
to pay De Brimont al. ANNUITY for his support as
their son-in-law. Yesterday Judge Woodruff rem
dered his decision on the question. He says
JUDGE wOODRUFFS DECISION
The broad question is-Can a citizen Of the
United States, whose daughter marries In France,
be prosecuted here upon decree OF a French
Court requiring him and his wife to pay an annuity
for the support of their sOn-in-law ? The subject
pertains to the domestic relations of our own cti-
zens and the duties and obligations resulting there
from. and the decree in question proceeds upon
the declaration of an obligation not in conformity
with our laws, not known to the common law.
The courts Of this country will, therefore be slow
to hold that whenever an American citizen shall
visit France and reside there temporarily with his
family, his son or his daughter by rash or unfor-
tunate marriage can cast upon the parents, mother
as well as father, the perpetual burden of an
annuity for the support OF the wife or husband.
q After stating that mis- French law relative to
mthers.in-law supporting their needy sonsn-aw
Is local law that it is based universally rec
ognizcd principles; that it is antagonistic to our
institutions, and that 1t has tendency to en-
courage fraud and idleness, Judge Woodruff con-
cludes by saying:-'I am Of opinion that the de-
PENDANTS are entitled to Judgment"

case came up for trial yesterday before Judge
J. F. Daily, holding Trial Term OF the Court of Com
mon Pleas, the result of which, while aHording
abundant ground for encouragement to our city
railroad companies in cases OF prosecutions for
damages on account of injuries to passengers is
certainly greatly discouraging to the prosecutors
seeking through the Courts damages for their in.
jures. The suit to which reference is made is that
brought by Adoph Reimer against the Third Ave-
nue. Railroad Company. Mr.. Reimer is young
German, only twenty-tnree years old, and was en-
ployed as bookkeeper IN mercantile warehouse,
in the lower part of the city. According to
his statement in January, 1871. he got on
Third Avenue car with the intention of
street He did 60 to the hospital, but under
circumstances very different from those he antci-
pated: There had been heavy isii OF SNOW and
crowded Young Reimer, finding no room in the
Car or on the back platform. took standing posi-
tiOn on the front platform. AS he neared seventy
seventh street he asked the conductor. who hap
pened to be on the platform, to stop at the next
street. Instead of the car stopping, however, one
of the drivers as set forth in his complaint gave
his mead push" and sent him stumbling from the
car, the result of which was that two Of the wheels
p0sed over one OF his legs, causing injuries that
compelled its subsequent amputation. After the
accident he was removed to the German Hospital.
and renamed tnere Or SIX months. he brought suit
for 10000 damages. Alter hearing the evidence
on his side motion was made by the counsel for the
road to dismiss the complaint. This motion was
pressed on the ground That, in accordance with O
recent decision OF the Court OF Appeals In the case
of lsaacs against the same, an action for damages
could not lie against the company 1t was con-
fessed that the act OF the driver was wanton ma
licous and wiiu but as he was. not at the time
carrying out any order Of the company he alone
could be held responsible sor the casualty.
Judge DAILY said that whatever might be his pri-
vate views as to the decision in the case referred
to by the Court of Appeals he could not do other
wise than dismiss the complaint, and gave an order
to this effect
