terry regarding the propriety of allowing
Rev. Sarah Smiley to preach in the La
fayette-avenue and Memorial Presbyterian

4 Patent Piano Player.

The latest Invention calculated to do
away with human skill is a patent piano
player, by which an aspirant for musi.
cal distinction can peform the most diff.
ficult pieces without the preliminary
torture known as praeticing, or those
terrors to the infant mind called scales
This wonderful machine owes its birth
to Paris. il occupies a position in
front of the keyboard Of the piano
aud extends from above the keyboard
to the floor. Over the keys Of the
piano are keys corresponding to the
keys beneath them. These are the fin
gers Of the machine, and they have
this advantage over the human hand
hat they have fingers for every note
The top Of the machine is about one
foot in width 1t has in the center
two rollers which are moved by crank.
These carry the music through, and as
1T passes the piano plays it. The music
is on paper and the notes are made by
cutting holes in squares. As these
notes pass certain point they allow a
hammer to pass through, and the stroke
of that hammer is communicated to its
own key on the piano. Each key has
its hammer. 1t only requires that
these holes be cut at proper intervals to
strike any number Of keys in any given
series The machine can be adapted
to any instrument with KEYS. liz.

The Influence of u News
paper


A newspaper is a thing of slow
growth. 1t is an enterprise that meets
with difficulties on every hand--it meets
obstacles to overcome at every step, and
it takes years of patient toll and per-
seyenng effort to successfully establish
a newspaper in almost any well order.
ed community. Being in its very ma
ture public enterprise, it is fed spar
ingly, watered negligently, it being ex-
pected to thrive on air aud live on moth
ing. More than this, 1t must be hack
ed by envy, bruised by Jealousy aud
dwarfed by negligence.
This is the fate of almost every
public enterprise. Even our common
school system, with all its acknowl-
edged usefulness aud advantages, is still
suffering from neglect-is still but half
developed, as it were, in the minds of
the masses, and consequently curtailed,
despoiled of more than half its useful
ness. 1t is too true that the things
most useful, and most needed for the
benefit and amelioration of the human
race, are the things most sadly neglect
ed. Ignorance is hard master, and
prejudice still harder one. Human
society is fettered and chained by both,
and there is nothing but education that
can burst the letters or break the
chains of either; and education can be
disseminated so efficiently, and so ex-
tensively by no other means as BY the
newspaper. 1t is the vehicle of thought,
the means Of communication and the
natural telegraph of social, moral, re-
ligious and intellectual Intercourse. Its
influence for good or evil is mutual and
reciprocal Ifrightly conducted it will
eventually become a favorite in many
families, and slowly, but surely, will
it gain foundation which will with
difficulty be disturbed. Though slow
to build up, as rule they are no less
so to tear down.
True it may be that we often see
them fall, but this is only in instances
where they were never built up. AZ
ter years of effort, newspaper may
not have place in the hearts Of the
community which is sacred, or even an
attachment that is lukewarm; but with
many in existance to-lly their fJunda-
ton is as firm as the faith and love
of man can make them. Such news
papers are power in the universe, aud
they form the bond of union which
unites kingdoms and protects thrones.
On a much smaller scale the local
newspapers grow apace, and gain a
corresponding strength and influence.
But time, patience, industry, aud per-
severance are required to build them up
aud secure for them a substantial foun-
dation in the confidence, hearts and
homes of the community where they
circulate. That foundation once Sc
cured they become a fixed institu.
ton of society, and their influence is
potent for good or evil.

MARTIN Il. CADY, A. ma,
The Best Legacy.
C0unty Superlnlendent q Sehool.


Most people who have children are
very much interested in their future.
1t is a common desire of parents to
leave their children in better circum.
stances than they themselves have en-
joyed. This is all very well, and quite
commendable. 1t is the way the hu-
man race develops, We are in better
condition of civilization and culture than
our ancestors, because they opened the
way for US to advance, accumulated the
resources that We employ. 1t is our du-
! y to provide similar means of progress
for coming ages and We are doing it by
This very interest ia our children.
I The legacy that is left to them is for
the world ami the word will have its
/ proper share Of it. Shall we leave
them money? The world will have it
sooner or later. Shall we leave them
cultivated minds and healthy bodies?
The world viii still have their labor
While the world always reaps adyan.
tages from these accumulated resources,
these legacies, children frequently are
cursed by them. Fortunes often rum
their recipients. A man tolls for years
and masses large property to leave to
his children unmindful of the fact that
to retain this property there is needed
the discipline ofgetting 1t.
Our great fnaaciers are those who
have amassed their own property OF
aided largely in getting it, and they
! are great not because Of their wealth, bu
because Of their financial discipline.
Inherited honors as well as Inherited
wealth are Of little value. You may be
proud Of the fact that your children are
the sons aud daughters Of a statesman,
but when you are gone the world will
forget that fact. There is indeed only
one legacy that man can leave his child
with the self assurance that it will not
prove curse TO him, and that is cul.
tivated nature. BY this | mean a
healthful vigorous body and a we'll dis
ciplined mind. With these he is ready
for any emergency, and if he will, he
can rear him a fortune or carve him an
honorable name.
What is a cultivated mind by the
side Of few petty dollars? who would
exchange his mental wealth for the
wealth of a money king? yet hundreds
Of men in this country, and all over
the land are depriving their children of
intellectual culture by keeping them
away from school to labor on the farm
or IN the work shop that their children
may receive legacy which in after
years they would willingly give for a
titbc Of that culture they are now de-
uied.
