A. Story of Berkshire True Love.

A correspondent sends US this: Away
back half a century ago there lived in
Lanesboro rich old farmer. Then as
now rich old farmers were the possessors
of daughters and sons. And the
daughters somehow would have beaux.
In tile same town lived an Industrious
young blacksmith, who sought the hand
of the only daughter of the rich old
farmer, who, by the way, held higher
hopes and aspirations for her, and plainly
told the young man that he ibid not
think an anvil and a piano would sound
| we'll together" The blacksmith swal-
lowed the rebuff, and, forestalliDg Horace
| Greeley's advice by several years, "went
West" Meanwhile the daughter had
an unobjectionable sutton whom she was
allowed to marry. Ten years or more she
lived happily, when her husband died.
Then came years Of widowhOod and all
the sorrows and trials the word implies.
A consoling and consolable widower,
however, happening along, she was again
married. Another decade Of happy we'd
ded life, and she was again left widow.
1t was then she returned to the parental
roof; and after few years her father fol-
lowed the two husbands. Now vas the

none will deny the exquisite taste Of his Sc

manufacturers, each Of whom displayed his
most superb instruments and offered them at
the most tempting figures, being naturally

Having heard that the Rogers Upright
Piano Company had introduced u novel aud
important principle In the construction OF
pianos, we have examined the instrument
with much interest. We find simple bu,
original application Of the "set screw" by
which metallic slides holding the "tuning
pins" are moved up aud down, tightening and
looscning the strings.
1t is evident that neither weather, climate
nor lapse Of time can have any effect upon
pianos constructed with this ingenious
mechanism.

The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1877-11-22

the globe is almost wholly due to di-
yersities of climate and of vegetation.
Thu. the artic regions are character
lied by white bears, reindeer, walrus-
es, etc., and the tropics by elephants,
peacOckS, etc., but it has been found
that this explanation is altogether
insufficient, and it is now known that
countries exceedingly similar in eli
mate and physical features NAV vet
have very distinct animal populations.
Thus the equatorial parts of Africa
and South America are similar in eli
mate, and both are covered by luxuri-
ant forests; yet the apes. leopard, and
elephants of the one are replaced by
prehensile-tasled monkeys, jaguars,
and tapirs in the other. Again, if we
examine closely the distribution of
animals in any extensive region, we
find that different, though closely alli-
ed. species are often found on opposite
sides OF any considerable barrier to
their migration. Mountain ranges,
rivers, arms OF the sea, and changes
OF climate and of vegetation form eff
fective barriers, and the limits Of the
great forests strictly determine in
most parts of the world the range of
many species.
Naturalists not believe that. by some
slow process Of development or
transmutation, all animals have been
produced from those which preceded
them. This modification takes place
very slowlp, and the changes appear to
have accompanied, and perhaps appear
to have depended on, changes of eli
mate, vegetation, etc. If we keep
i'll view these facts says our author,
''that the minor features Of the earth
are everywhere slowly changing that
the forms and structure and habits of
all living thingsare also slowly chang
