Early In the winter now So near its close a
boy and girl Msed respectively eight and ten
years, scaBtily clad and crying picously with
huugey and cold, were hHHd wandering along
the line OF the Pittshurg IL Fort Wayne Rail-

fused and terrified by their condition, they
seemed incapable % accounting for themselves

LIFE IN GERMANY.-A lady, writing
from Vienna, says: II have had op-
portunities, since l came here, of enter
ing the homes of the wealthiest, and the
attics of the poorest, and in every phase
of human life l find much to admire.
There is none of that reckless extrava-
gance in house-furnishing, or in dress,
and in all externals, as in America. A
young married couple suit the number
of their rooms, and the number offights
they are high, to their means, and NO
one thinks of cutting their acquaintance
because their snug little sitting-room
serves as reception-room, dining
and parlor. A birthday occasion is
one of the pleasantest of events to wit
ness in a German family. Days before
the brothers and sisters bring together
their accumulated pennies, and each in
vests the amount of the same in some
love-token, however trifing. If the
morning is pleasant, the table is spread
in the garden, and on it are placed the
practical ones from the parents;
some simple delicacy, pleasing to the
juvenile palate, is added to the usual
meal; flower offerings are sent, and
relatives come to present their congrat-
ulations."

reason why we were their slaves. Now,
Mr.. Stearns, you know whedder this is
true or not; please tell me"
The planters theology was quickly
refuted by Mr.. Stearns, and his con-
vert was delighted to learn that "Jesus
was no such man as ole massa said he
was"
Ignorance commonly gives us that
brisk shock of surprise which is akin to
humor.
One little boy, in Mr.. Stearns' con-
gregation, said he had hearn tell OF
Jesus, but he did not know who or
what he was" Others, with great
confidence, affirmed him to be "the
brother of Washington One lad, in
the negro sunday-school, on being
asked who Jesus Christ was, scratched
his head with a perplexed look. and re-
piled: dunno, massa; neber heard OF
him." A girl, the daughter of a relig-
ious exhorter among the negroes, re-
piled: 81 never hearn tell on him
afore. Did he live in Gorgy:"
We have vague remembrance OF a
similar question in the experience of
Whitfield. While trying to evangelize
some Cornish miners, and describing
to them the death of Christ, he was
asked if Christ had worked in mine
No. / or No. 2.
The well-to-do inhabitants of cities,
who subscribe literally for the conver-
sion of the heather of Asia, have little
perception of the heathenism of Europe
and the United States.
Mr.. Stearns tells us of a negro
preacher called Jim, who had been ar
rested and confined in jail.
"He in jail; what can that be for? y
"Oh, nothing" said his negro in
formant; she only jus stole few tur-
keys, and den he sell 'em, and got
cotched. went to see him de other
day, and he tells me, You jus tell dem
darkies as b'longs to my church not to
be down-hearted, for de Lord will bring
me one day to be wild um again, and
dey must not forget to pray for me-
When Mr.. Stearns denounced the
sins of which many of his colored con-
gregation were guilty, one of them got
up and said:
"Now, Mr.. S., if you must talk
about stealing, why not call us together
on Monday and tell us about it, and let
us have good heavenly time on Sun
day in worshiping the God we all love
so much?"
We think that this negro must have
been highly-civilized human being.
Probably many Massachusetts clergy
men, during the past twenty years,
have received similar rebukes from per-
sons of the highest cultivation and
social position.-Appleton's journal.

Two Troy milliners, who hated each
other as only rival milliners can hate,
started for Europe, each flattering herself
that the other was ignorant Of her inten-
tions, and found themselves the occu-
pants of the same state-room on the
steamer. The way they avoided each
other was study for philosopher.

fastened it on her nose, went on with
the exercises, and let the scholars enjoy

A handsome young peddler made
love to a buxom widow. He accom-
panied his declaration with an allusion
to two impediments to their union.
"Name them," said the widow. "The
want of means to set up retail store. !"
They parted, and the widow sent the
peddler ample means. When they met
again, the peddler had hired and stock
ed his store, and the smiling fair one
begged to know the other impediment.

The SOUTHERN FREEDMEN.-Mr.
Stearns, in his recent book on the
South, says that the great need of the
freedmen is the ownership of land. He
is severe in describing their defects and
vices; but, he asks, "How can you
expect intelligence and virtue to spring
up from the soil of slaverys' Their
emancipation leaves them, to great
extent, in the intellectual and moral
condition in which they were bred. As
far as the authors experience goes,
they are, as hired laborers, careless,
wasteful, deficient in punctuality and
perseverance, much addicted to lying
and stealing, with an imperfect percep-
ton of the sanctity of marriage, and,
though commonly religious, disconnect-
ing religion from morality. The strange
notions some of them have regarding
the Christian religion is illustrated by
many anecdotes.

that one of his sons insulted him while
he was drunk, but the other was good

ed for about three years in the open air of the
lumber yard before being sent to the factory. II
is there further seasoned in drying rooms, where
it is subjected to a continual temperature OF l25
degrees for three months. When taken out it is
placed in steam boxes and subjected to lfO de-
grees of heat to extract every particle OF mois-
ture from the wood before being manufactured.
Thus
1T WILL STAND ANY CLIMATIC CHANGE,
And it will keep its tune for longer period than
if these regulations were not complied with, ana
also keep them from warping and IN time make
them useless. This thoroughness is one OF the
secrets of the Sohmer Pianos, and Is generally
ascribed to them. The time required to compiee
a.piano from the raw materials, after seasoning
is finished, will average from ten to twelve
months. At their
EXTENSIVE FACTORY
Is always kept on hand sufficient material for
the construction of large number OF pianos,
while the screws, wires and cloths are imported
by them from Europe. Space will not permit us
to mention various instances of high credit vol
UNFAIRLY paid to the Sohmer & Co.'s piano, but
one or two important points we are oollged TO
add, that all the instruments have their iron plate
with patent Agraffe, which constitutes point OF
peculiar excellence in the pianos manufactured
by the Messrs. Sohmer & Co. Pianos thus con-
structed are more durable, and in point of tone
are far superior to all other prominent makers;
Another very interesting piece of mechanical
construction inserted in the pianos OF Messrs
Sohmer & Co. is their
PATENT AGRAFFE BAR,
Which is exclusively of their own inventive ge.
MUS, producing table which for clearness and
evenness render their pianos without compeer in
this country. The Agrafe bar was patented
April Is, 1869. These pianos have beveled tops,
ivory keys and are warranted for five years. For
evenness, mellowness and power of tone, together
with strength and neatness of workmanship, 1t is
impossible to conceive better instrument than
one of Sohmer & Co.'S productions, which at the
same time are much cheaper than other makers,
having lately reduced their price list.-Ne,O York
Trade Ledger.
THE AGENCY IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Naturally the superior merits of these pianos
command for them very extensive sale in San
Francisco and other California cities, and in no
instance has any one using them been known to
express other than pleasureable satisfaction.
Competent judges, indeed, are eloquent in their
praise, giving them the preference over all other
similar Instruments while local artists, of the
highest musical culture, have acknowledged
their ability to show off their proficiency to the
greatest advantage when performing on them.
As an inevitable consequence, the local agents,
Messrs. Weber & Suter, at No. IA Geary street,
near Kearny, receive numerous applications for
the favorite pianos in question, and as they con-
stantly keep choice number on hand they are
always enabled to please their customers.

RAISING PEANuTs.-The proper soil
for this nut is light, friable sandy
soil, in which the seed pods may burrow
after blossoming. To this end the soil
must be kept entirely clean. The nuts
should be planted in shallow furrows,
say about two or three inches deep, two
or three nuts in place, eighteen inches
to two feet apart, the rows three feet
apart. The soil should be kept clean
and mellow, until the vines cover the
ground. If the crop is hilled the hill or
ridges must be broad and fat, to enable
the pods to strike into the earth. The
seed pods are formed on the ends of
runners. You ought to get one hundred
bushels of nuts per acre, instead of fifty
as you say. This you may easily do by
planting as directed.
The weekly Shasta courier., 1873-02-01

THOSE BRoTHERs.-I wonder if girls
realize what an influence they might
have over their brothers by exercising
a little self control. l say little; per-
haps that is too moderate a word; it
would hardly be too strong to say a
great deal, for l know very well how
tormenting boys are oftentimes, and
how they put ones patience to the sever
est proofs. But, after all, there is moth
ing gained by finding fault with them,
for the next day after we have scolded
and lectured them for prowling about
the house and helping themselves to
whatever there is to eat, they will go
and do the same thing again. l grant
that it is provoking to have all the doors
left open, and the tracks of mud on the
floor and carpets, and that it is discour-
aging to have boy swallow his food
without chewing, show all he has in
his mouth while eating, drink with his
mouth full of meat and potatoes, put in
his food with his knife, or any way to get
it in it is discouraging, especially to his
more refined and delicate sister. But
it is not positively wicked, and have
known such boy, boy who did not
half wash himself besides, grow to be a
great and good man, and behave as well
among civilized people as any gentle
man of them all. don't know as there
is any reason why boys should not be
as tractable and controllable as girls,
but as class they. are not, and we
must accept the fact and govern our
department toward them accordingly.
They will be out evenings without
always accounting for themselves, which
their sisters would not think of doing
or be allowed to do if they did think of
it; and they won't get up in the morning
when they ought to; like enough they
are lazy, und perhaps they smoke and
won't study. 1t is an unpleasant state
of things to say the least of it, and ought
not to be so. But don't know any
other way for sisters to help the matter
than by uniform kindness and forbear-
ance. If fpossible, never find fault with
them, and let the sisters never miss a
chance for commentator. 1t is sur
prising how little judicious praise will
set boy thinking of his shortcomings
and planning how he may deserve more.
Don't look at them when they are eat
ing. 1t is very comforting to remember
that boys do learn to eat properly when
they have stopped growing, and all the
fault finding in the world does not
hasten the man. l don't believe there
is a boy in the world who would not be
susceptible to the refining influence of
a gentle, loving sister, who was ready
to help and encourage him. Sisters,
do all you can to make the home such
a cheerful, delightful place, and your
selves so good natured and obliging,
that many of the places where your
brothers now seek amusement will lose
their attraction, and coarse, loud, fast
/ girl become repulsive.-Chris. Union.
